My skills have mutated again!

Chapter 341 The Evil God's Nemesis! The Power of the Spirit World Book! The Death of Xia Lin!
Evil gods are indeed a peculiar existence.

Born at level eleven or twelve, and possessing power that is virtually invincible among those of the same level!

However, behind this outward strength lies a lack of wisdom and an inevitable fatal weakness!

Yes, every evil god must have a fatal weakness.

Their weakness stems from their unique logic of existence, and their lack of intelligence prevents them from actively addressing their weaknesses.

But when their weaknesses are exploited, the seemingly powerful evil gods are actually quite vulnerable.

Beyond the planet of deception, the moment the Book of Spirits appeared foreshadowed the end for Tobias, who claimed to be an evil god but was not one at all.

The rampant nanobots were drawn towards the Spirit Book.

At this moment, Tobias regained his composure and controlled his nanobots to resist the pull of the Spirit Book—and it worked.

The power of the Spirit World Book is not so strong that "Xia Lin could absorb the evil god simply by facing him and taking out the Spirit World Book".

His first task is to defeat this power so that the Spirit Book can finish devouring the power of the evil god!
But now, Xia Lin no longer needs to do this most difficult job.

Because the county magistrate will help Xia Lin handle this issue.

"fry!"

Just as Tobias was about to rebel, the county magistrate's voice rang out again from the 3D printer.

A single word, as if spoken with divine power, instantly shattered Tobias's newly formed will.

Thus, the black torrent, with unstoppable force, rushed into the Book of Spirits and transformed into Xia Lin's deceptive power!

Amidst the boiling Black Sea, Tobias's roar suddenly resounded.

Xia Lin and the others then saw the fraudulent planet tremble and rapidly decompose into nanobots, rushing towards the 3D printer from all directions.

From the beginning until now, this fraudulent planet has not changed significantly, but now it has.

However, Xia Lin was not worried. He simply watched without moving as the black torrent rushed toward the 3D printer, only to be blocked by the primordial dark force on the outside of the 3D printer.

"It doesn't approve of you."

Xia Lin said with a smile.

"Otherwise, you would have already usurped the position and become a real fraudster."

……

The reason why the issue of primary and secondary factors is the most crucial issue between fraud and Tobias is precisely because of this!

The entity that created the evil god was this 3D printer, while the body Tobias possessed was a creation of this 3D printer.

This strong correlation in the hierarchy determines the subordinate relationship between the two parties.

Even if a 3D printer has no intelligence and is just an inanimate object, the primal dark power that endows it with authority will ultimately recognize it, not Tobias.

You, Tobias, are merely a creation of this 3D printer, and that will never change!

Therefore, a long, long time ago, Tobias had been trying to take control of the 3D printer with his own will, so as to make himself a true god of fraud.

But to no avail.

He can deceive anyone, even himself.

But he cannot deceive one of the six pillars that gave him power and authority: the Primal Dark Side!
This weakness is unsolvable.

Then the problem is coming.

If fraud itself has such a great weakness, then why, throughout countless millennia, has no one been able to exploit this weakness, seize control of fraud, and thus wield the power of the evil god of fraud?

The answer is simple: because this weakness is difficult to discover and difficult to exploit!
Aside from organizations like the Righteous Alliance that specifically target evil gods, few people would actively oppose an evil god.

Because the risks are high and the returns are not great...

Tobias's performance and disguise were also quite commendable; not perfect, but without any major flaws.

And most importantly, their fraudulent abilities are truly formidable!

With hundreds of level 11 clones, it effectively prevented normal people from coveting or exploring it.

There's really no need to fight someone who's very strong, and the rewards for winning aren't that great.

Unless there is a life-or-death feud (Di Yun).

Even if someone cleverly discovers a weakness in fraud, it is actually very difficult to exploit that weakness.

Because this mass of primordial dark power, which contains the 3D printer, not only resists Tobias, but also resists the invasion of all intelligence!

This originates from the primordial dark side's inherent power!
Just as the primordial dark side constantly stifles His self-awareness.

Therefore, even if you discover the weakness of fraud, you cannot find a way to exploit it.

Any energy or thing carrying an external will cannot reach the true form of the deceitful evil god and will be resisted by the power of the primordial dark side.

However, this time, Xia Lin arrived, and with her came change.

"This is impossible! This is impossible!"

"Why? Why!? Why does it work but I can't!?"

Tobias accompanied the deceitful god and this primordial dark force for countless millennia, yet he never gained their approval.

So, as soon as you, the county magistrate, arrived, you had it?
This is a form of face-to-face NTR!
Enraged, Tobias roared out his questions.

The county magistrate did not answer.

Because it doesn't know either...

It doesn't know why the primordial dark side, which should have resisted wisdom, allowed itself to possess the deceitful god.

But Xia Lin knew.

"because this……"

Xia Lin smiled and patted the Spirit World Book in his hand.

The Spirit Book had been shining brightly ever since it arrived here.

Xia Lin thought this was just a normal reaction from the spirit world when faced with an evil god...

However, Xia Lin suddenly realized that this was not normal.

Or rather, Xia Lin had underestimated the power of the Spirit World Book!
Do you know who gave me this?

Xia Lin asked with a smile, and then answered himself.

"It was given to me by the King of Kings, one of the Six Pillars!"

The raw material used to create the Spirit World Book was Jun You, who was also a key agent of the primordial dark side! This Spirit World Book even contains the power of the primordial dark side!

Do you think the power of the primordial dark side is something really powerful?
Yes, it's a very powerful thing... but Xia Lin has something of the same origin that is even more powerful.

This is the Book of the Spirit World!

With a slight gleam in his eyes, Xia Lin once again noticed the attributes of the Spirit World Book.

[Spirit Realm Book: (Racial Foundation Level) (Uniqueness) (Xia Lin Exclusive):]

[Function 1: Malicious Contamination: When facing an evil god, you are immune to all the evil god's additional skill bonuses!]

[Function Two: Spirit Realm Kingdom: This book can absorb the essence of evil gods to create a spirit realm kingdom. Depending on the essence of the evil gods absorbed by the spirit realm kingdom, it will provide you with different buffs.]

This time, however, Xia Lin did not focus on the second function he had acquired to change his fate: the Spirit Realm Kingdom.

Instead, he looked at Function One: Malicious Co-infection!
"Since they share the same origin, of course they'll be infected by the same virus!"

The root cause of this differential treatment is not the previous power grab by Tiandao, nor the help from Xia Tian, ​​nor Tobias's own operational mistakes.

It's a book from the spirit world!
Just as this thought arose, Xia Lin's perspective suddenly changed again.

He saw light emanating from the book of spirits, like gentle moonlight, enveloping him.

He saw the ray of light transform into threads, and following the master-servant contract, it spread from his body to the location of the county magistrate's alter ego consciousness—that is, the 3D printer that was essentially a fraudulent evil god.

Because we share the same origin, we accept each other.

Because they share the same origin, they are recognized!
This is the true will of the county magistrate, the root cause of his possession of the deceitful and evil god.

This is even the fundamental reason why the county magistrate was able to successfully seize some of the power of fraud!

As if struck by a sudden inspiration, Xia Lin raised the Book of the Spirit Realm high in his hand.

He looked at Tobias.

"Evil gods? I'm the one who can restrain evil gods!"

"I, Xia Lin, am the nemesis of the evil god!"

This is not bragging.

Because this is one of the six pillars, the will of the King of Kings!

From the moment Xia Lin acquired the Book of the Spirit Realm, he was ordained by Heaven to become the nemesis of the evil god!
This is the selection of the Six Pillars, and also the blessing of the Six Pillars!
With the Soul Light in hand, Xia Lin is immune to the Heavenly Interference of the Six Pillars.

But once Xia Lin took the Spirit Realm Book, the matter naturally had nothing to do with Soul Light.

Because Xia Lin was willing!

The moment the sound rolled down, the light on the Spirit World Book exploded, as if a profound change had taken place!
Tobias, however, had already had his defenses breached by the series of changes, and had no will to resist left!
Thus, the vast Black Sea was swallowed up by the Spirit World Book Whale with unstoppable force.

—Because these nanobots are all vassals of the deceitful evil god, and are all products of the evil god's power!

The second change is in the primordial dark power that envelops the deceitful god.

For the first time in millions of years, it has changed.

It was stretched and elongated, like noodles.

Subsequently, he couldn't help but immerse himself in the books of the spirit world.

The last thing to change was the 3D printer that had lost its original dark power.

This aberrant thing, which was essentially a deception of the evil god, suddenly shattered into a colorful stream of light.

It even caused the county magistrate who had taken over its body to be squeezed out and revert to the appearance of the Iron Bucket Man, scratching his pointed head in a daze.

Under everyone's watchful eyes, the true deceitful evil god transformed into multicolored light and finally entered the book of the spirit world.

There was a "boom".

The giant book closed, yet it unleashed a deafeningly powerful sound!
The surrounding towering black sea had disappeared.

All that remained was a broken, illusory image, seemingly a remnant of Tobias, standing not far from Xia Lin, gazing longingly at the Spirit World Book in Xia Lin's hand.

"I refuse to accept this..."

It murmured its last words.

The pain of being unable to achieve professional success.

The pain of encountering a natural enemy and being overcome by that enemy.

Xia Lin also gave her final response.

"No, you have to admit it. Because the one who truly defeated you was not me... or rather, not just me."

"Instead, it is one of the three pillars, the King of Kings."

"You've already had a great honor."

It's unclear whether Tobias actually heard Charlin's voice. The moment Charlin finished speaking, Tobias's afterimage vanished.

Xia Lin paid no attention to this usurper and petty scoundrel named Tobias, instead keeping her eyes glued to the Spirit World Book.

Until the giant book began to tremble, and the trembling intensified!
……

Xia Lin had this question about the Book of Spirit Realm before.

Function Two: Why is it called the Kingdom of Spirits?

This feature has nothing to do with the country...

I used to think that this was just a quirk of the King of Kings: it's normal for the ruler of all armies to have a name that includes the name of a country, right?
But now, Xia Lin has finally discovered the truth.

The light and shadow in the book of the spirit world distorted, then finally converged, and the tremors subsided.

Xia Lin took the Book of Spirits, opened the first page, and vivid light and shadow appeared before his eyes.

That was none other than a panoramic view of what was once the planet Milos, but which Tobias had turned into a fraudulent planet.

Everything in the scene is in motion.

It evolved into everything on the planet, yet sometimes transforms into the appearance of a black ocean.

This seems to describe the past and present of fraud, a condensation of fraud itself...

Of course, in essence, fraud doesn't have any backstory... its story is unusually simple and straightforward, while Tobias's story is more interesting.

After gazing at it for a long time, Xia Lin closed the book and looked back at the item descriptions in the Spirit World Book.

And naturally, the item descriptions in the Spirit World Book have undergone a complete transformation!

[Spirit Realm Book: (Racial Foundation Level) (Uniqueness) (Xia Lin Exclusive):]

[Function 1: Malicious Contamination: When facing an evil god, you are immune to all the evil god's additional skill bonuses!]

The description of Function 1 remains unchanged.

However, perhaps Xia Lin had figured out the true nature of the first function of the Spirit World Book, because now there was an extra note below the first function.

[Note: The effect of malicious assimilation is that you gain some of the properties of an evil god, but not its power. Some evil gods may regard you as one of their own. However, being regarded as one of an evil god has both advantages and disadvantages, so please be cautious.]

Being regarded as one of the same kind by evil gods can be good or bad.

Because the evil gods are not all in cahoots.

Of course, in this instance of dealing with fraud, the effect was entirely positive; it was probably because Xia Lin had been accumulating good fortune for a long time, and it finally came to fruition.

[Function Two: Spirit Realm Kingdom: This book can absorb the essence of evil gods to create a spirit realm kingdom. Depending on the essence of the evil gods absorbed by the spirit realm kingdom, it will provide you with different buffs.]

[Current Buff: Deception: The Spirit Book has absorbed an evil god named Deception and gained the power of deception!]

[Due to unforeseen circumstances, you are unable to fully grasp the complete power of deception. The Spirit Book can only provide you with three methods for using this power.]

Force majeure...

Xia Lin was slightly disappointed, but she understood the difficulty involved.

The power of the evil god is entirely bestowed by the primordial dark side and is exclusively for the evil god's use.

With the Book of Spirits in hand, Xia Lin possesses some of the characteristics of an evil god, but while this may deceive other evil gods, it cannot deceive the primordial dark side.

The Book of Spirits can only extract a small portion of the evil gods' abilities for Xia Lin's use.

[One: Fraudulent shipping!]

[Fraud. Luck: This function consumes 500 points of Fraud Power. Activating it will grant you immense good fortune for ten minutes, but after the effect ends, you will experience three consecutive days of bad luck.]

[Note: This effect has no cooldown, but you cannot reactivate this ability while the bad luck is active.]

This is the original method of deceiving fate and altering destiny; the effect remains unchanged.

Xia Lin continued looking down.

[Part Two: Fraud. Death!]

[Fraud.Life: Consumes a varying amount of Fraud Power to forcibly alter the target's life or death!]

[Note: This effect ignores any defensive skills and skill permission checks, but the amount of Deception Power consumed varies depending on the target!]

Xia Lin was stunned, thinking that the effect was pretty amazing.

Whoever you glare at will die instantly.
Of course, consumption is a problem. Xia Lin doesn't know how much deception power this thing will consume, so he can only try it again later.

[Part Three: Fraud Simulation!]

[Fraud. Simulation: You can command your follower, Dragonfly Magistrate, to consume the power of deception to simulate any analyzed creature! This simulation has significant flaws and is easily detected, but its effectiveness is outstanding, perfectly replicating the strength of the simulated object!]

That's a really impressive ability.

Xia Lin quickly came up with a simple way to use this function.

Simulating oneself provides dual combat power.

Simulating Scarlett is equivalent to having two level eleven celestial beings with combat power.

Of course, the same problem remains: consumption.

Where does the power of deception come from?
The Spirit Book provides the answer.

[Note: In the Spirit Realm (Page 1. The Kingdom of Deception), the power of deception will be continuously produced. Currently, the efficiency of providing this power is 10 points/day. You can use relevant items to increase the efficiency of the Kingdom of Deception in generating this power. Relevant materials include: various metals, various silicon crystals…]

Xia Lin figured it out.

The first page of the Spirit World Book, the phantom of that deceptive planet, is essentially a production line used to produce the power of deception.

Only after the product is produced can Xia Lin use the relevant capabilities.

The current efficiency is very low.

It can only be used once every 50 days, but it's still much better than before.

[Current deception power: 53849 points.]

The remaining deceptive power was not taken away and remained in Xia Lin's hands.

There are quite a few, but Xia Lin still prefers a slow and steady approach...

Xia Lin held the book about the spirit world and read it over and over again, finding it incredibly fascinating.

Just as Xia Tian was manipulating Di Yun's corpse to walk towards Xia Lin, Xia Lin looked at the Fake Life function and suddenly had this idea in his mind.

Is this approach feasible?

Once the idea took hold, Xia Lin couldn't wait any longer.

He immediately deactivated the Dark Source Overlord form and simply activated Deception.

Then, the target is chosen: himself!

Suddenly, Xia Lin felt a wave of dizziness.

It was as if an invisible force struck Xia Lin's soul directly, instantly obliterating his self-awareness!

From the perspective of Xia Tian, ​​Scarlett, and the others, they only saw a flash of light on the Spirit World Book, and Xia Lin immediately slumped to the side and died.

This horrifying scene made Xia Tian suddenly roar out loud.

"Who! Who is it!?"

Surrounded on both sides, yet no enemy was in sight.

Scarlett squeezed out from among the corpses of the deceased and caught Xia Lin as he fell freely. Her face was pale and her eyes showed despair.

No, what are you despairing about?

How could you not know how many resurrection items Xia Lin had prepared?
The phantom of the cross suddenly appeared on Xia Lin's corpse.

Amidst the shimmering, undulating light, Xia Lin reopened his eyes.

A feeling of weakness surged over me.

[Rebirth Spell (Racial Heritage Level): A one-time use magic scroll item inscribed with a rebirth spell. Upon the holder's death, the scroll immediately takes effect, reviving the holder. However, the holder will suffer a penalty of having their racial stats halved and all attributes halved!]

On the attribute panel, the "Battle of Life and Death (Inferior)" skill glows faintly, turning the rebirth penalty into a temporary effect.

Scarlett stared in astonishment, her eyes widening.

"Are you... joking?"

"Who would joke around with their own life?!"

Xia Lin smiled weakly without explaining, but simply took out the Spirit Realm Book again and looked at the points of deception power on it.

53849, became 3849.

Using deception to determine the fate of someone like Xia Lin, 5 deception points were consumed in one go!

Furthermore, we must consider the following factors: when activating the Fraudulent Life, Xia Lin deactivated the Black Source Overlord form and did not utilize the East Wind Overlord's hundredfold amplification.

The cost of deciding life and death with a single word was greater than Xia Lin had imagined.

Of course, this is not important for now.

What truly matters is Xia Lin's personal attributes.

……

Ten days later, inside Di Yun's body, at the Xia family's main residence.

A sudden burst of maniacal laughter erupted from Xia Lin's training room, sending shockwaves through the room.

At this moment, the rebirth debuff has disappeared, but Xia Lin's attributes are no longer in their previous state!
[Base stat: 290.4 (originally 264)]

[Basic Attributes: 5.5 million (originally 5 million)]

The increase is 10%!
The decisive battle (inferior) has taken effect!
The new combo has been officially finalized.

Xia Lin, through the power of deception, tricked the skill judgment of the life-or-death battle (inferior)!
"But that makes sense, doesn't it?"

Xia Lin smiled and looked at the dumbfounded Scarlett, and said this.

"Fraud. Fate, a word that determines life and death, is essentially using the power of deception to alter the life or death status of the target."

"And the power of deception inherently possesses an extremely strong deceptive effect."

With that said, Xia Lin took out the Book of the Spirit Realm again and patted its thick cover.

"Furthermore, although the Spirit Realm Book is at the racial foundation level, it possesses uniqueness. Any unique item or tool will have an effect superior to a normal foundation level item!"

"The Deception of the Spirit World Book has deceived the Life and Death Battle (Inferior) in this way, and even its authority has overwhelmed the Life and Death Battle (Inferior)."

"Therefore, the success of the experiment is a high-probability event."

Having said that, Xia Lin stroked the Spirit World Book again, but couldn't help but smile.

Because of the combination of deception, life and death battle (inferior), the effect is bound to be exaggerated.

But new problems arose.

Looking at the remaining Deception Power Points on the Spirit World Book, Xia Lin fell into deep thought.

Money (and the power of deception) is always a problem.
