Chapter 445 The 7th Apostle of the Hope Death Game
Xue Lude and Mimic King stripped the remaining information off the corpse. To be honest, apart from finding information that might be related to the Seventh Apostle, the other information was completely meaningless.
He could even discover that the other world was a technologically advanced world. The application of magic in the world should be very shallow, but the technology was at least at the level of pre-World War I, which could be seen from some special "magical products" in his possession.
Mimic King explained directly: "A special magical pocket watch used to measure time and remind its owner."
"And this, this magical artifact should be able to make remote calls with specific individuals, but it should be limited to point-to-point calls and not be able to make precise, random communications."
There wasn't much information left.
The corpse belonged to an indigenous civilization that existed roughly before World War I. He was able to use magic in a rudimentary way, but only to the point of being able to keep his mind slightly clear. He had also suffered inhuman torture before his death. According to the analysis of the Mimic King, he was still alive when all his organs were removed.
To be honest, the scene was a bit terrifying, but Xue Law probably understood what the world would be like under the rule of the Seventh Apostle.
An apostle born of fear, the world he inhabits is probably just like the world controlled by demons. Xue Lude was not surprised, after all, the prototypes of the demons in Su Su's hometown were the Seventh Apostle, which gave him a glimpse into the situation.
Even though there are differences, the underlying logic is the same. The Seventh Apostle will try his best to instill fear in everyone and ensure that as few people as possible die. At the same time, he will also have a certain excuse to let the Divine Tree have some fun from time to time to ensure the smooth development of the Divine Tree.
Perhaps it was because He was too focused on exploiting fear that He had fewer fruits from the Divine Tree, which is why His strength was surpassed by the Eighth Apostle.
Xue's Law also roughly explained his reasoning to the Mimic King, and gave a detailed account of the situation of the people living under the demons' command at that time.
“I see, an apostle who imprisons and tortures humans… Should I say this guy is unambitious, or is he twisted?” Even the Mimic King couldn’t help but complain.
After all, He was very familiar with the nature of the apostles, so He felt something was strange when He discovered that the seventh apostle was somewhat weak.
To put it another way, if the twelfth apostle's raw strength is 1, which is equivalent to a standard apostle who wields authority, then Xue's current strength is roughly 0.8. The eighth apostle's combat strength is around 20, the ninth apostle's is around 6, and the sixth apostle's is around 50...
However, the Seventh Apostle's combat strength is only around 10.
Although this level of combat power is still an insurmountable barrier for Xue's Law of 0.8 combat power—meaning it would be easily defeated in a direct confrontation—it is far inferior to the Sixth Apostle who preceded it...
Furthermore, the Sixth Apostle's strength wasn't in his physical form, but in his swarm of insects. Even so, the Seventh Apostle was still so much stronger than the previous one, and also half the strength of the one following him.
I have to say, this thing is really cool and funny.
But this is good news for Xue's Law and the Mimicry King Fragment.
"Your Majesty, would you dare to join me in assassinating the Seventh Apostle?" Xue Dinglu said in a sinister tone.
"Of course! I can't hold back anymore!" If the Mimic King had a human face, he would probably be even more unable to suppress the corners of his mouth than AK.
Although his purpose in creating this fragment was merely to protect Xue's laws, now that he had the chance to touch the apostle's tail, he naturally wouldn't give it up.
At the same time, He also planted an eye here. The Mimic King was also very curious about the subspace fishing spot of Earth's consciousness. Why could the consciousness of this remote planet actually catch so many good things?
The subspace is a mixed bag, containing all sorts of things. Finding anything of value there is even more difficult than finding a king crab or sea urchin while beachcombing.
However, this can be discussed later. The Mimic King even considered whether he should pay a price to make a fair and square deal with this planet to obtain this subspace location so that he could explore it himself later.
But we'll talk about that when we get back.
While contemplating the matter of the subspace, He was also calculating the coordinates on the corpse in His mind.
There's another strange piece of information about this corpse: it has several different coordinates on its body.
For the Mimic King, the essence of coordinates is the information left behind after the exchange of matter within the body of the organism in that world. By using the information of these microscopic particles, the location of the microscopic particle in the universe can be deduced.
Generally speaking, an organism typically replaces all the microscopic particles in its body every 10 years or so.
After exchanging substances with the outside world through breathing, drinking water, eating, and so on, other substances in the world will eventually gradually become part of your body.
Therefore, normal people usually only have one coordinate on their bodies, while only those who travel around will have multiple different coordinates on their bodies.
This corpse was just like that, with a total of 7 coordinates on its body. This made the Mimic King think a little and pick out the most needed coordinates.
The first is the coordinates of his wound, which are very likely related to the creature that tortured and killed him.
Five already very faint coordinates, plus the coordinates of the final blow, which permeated most of the matter in his body.
"That should be the coordinates that occupy most of the matter, right?" Xue deduced.
“That’s what I think too,” said the Mimic King, beginning to try to interpret the information from the other end of the coordinates.
"Your Excellency, do you have the ability to completely conceal my identity? At the very least, don't let the Seventh Apostle sense me as soon as I teleport there," Xue Dinglu said cautiously. "I know you are the strongest, but since your true form isn't here right now, we should at least avoid getting into a direct confrontation with the Seventh Apostle from the very beginning."
Continuing with the previous analysis of combat power, if the Seventh Apostle's combat power is 10, then the current pseudo-King fragment's direct combat power is likely only around 3. This is already very strong. In the entire universe, as long as it doesn't provoke the Apostles, it's at the level where it can go anywhere with impunity.
Even the apostles' retinues, unless they numbered at the legion level, could not be overwhelmed.
Furthermore, the Mimic King fragment has a pure stat of 3, and with its mechanics, it is estimated to be able to exert 5 times the power of the 12th Apostle.
Xue's rule is simply a matter of habitual caution and a bit of respect for this apostle who is so high up in the sequence.
"So you've been using the Mind Flayer's possession technique all along to hide yourself from the other Apostles? Indeed, using the Mind Flayer's possession technique is the simplest and also the most covert method." The Mimic King quickly understood many of Xue Lude's previous actions.
He was about to say that it was unnecessary to do so, but he quickly calmed down and began to think about it seriously.
This time, I only managed to catch the tail of the Seventh Apostle, which can be considered as cleaning up the scraps. But I can't be careless. After all, my main body is still tracking the Lord of the Mist. I must not fail. In a head-on battle, this fragment of mine may not be able to defeat the Apostle, or rather, it is highly unlikely that I will be able to defeat him.
After all, this portion represents less than one-thousandth of the original body's strength. Therefore, the Mimic King agreed to the plan, even though it was the first time He had felt frustrated by His insufficient strength.
"Go ahead and I'll figure out the rest. The Seventh Apostle won't be able to find out your true identity," said the Mimic King. "Even when you used the Mind Flayer's possession, your strength was hard to recover at first, right? There was a period when you were very weak, right? But now I can let your true body go directly there, and the concealment effect is no different from the Mind Flayer's possession."
Xue's Law finally realized that this old Deng was actually quite reliable.
So, teleportation initiated!
……
It was cold and shivering, as if I were standing on a moving object.
"You're awake. You're the most outstanding newcomer." A sudden voice rang out.
Xue Dinglu opened his eyes and then revealed a very strange expression.
What's going on? Why does this feel so familiar?
Xue Dinglu immediately looked around. They seemed to be on a cruise ship, and the salty sea breeze and the slight rocking of the ship showed that the cruise ship was moving forward on the sea.
He looked around and indeed found himself in a cabin, with the distant sea visible through the glass.
However, the sea was pitch black, and both the ocean and the layers of black fog made the cruise ship feel as insecure as a small boat.
He glanced at the others, who were all standing in the cabin—five men and three women—looking at him with expressions ranging from numbness, pity, worry, to schadenfreude.
Xue Law: “?”
“I’ll explain when the others wake up, so as not to waste my breath explaining multiple times. But newbie, you’re in luck. Welcome to the ‘Death Cruise’!” The man smiled, revealing a mouthful of sharp, three-layered teeth.
It's clear that although he looks like a human, he obviously has features of an alien race.
“Good heavens, this isn’t the real universe, but... subspace?” the Mimic King exclaimed immediately.
Are we somewhere in the warp now?
“Yes, or more accurately, the gap between the subspace and the real space. Sure enough, every apostle has his own unique skill. I’ll make a note of it here, and I’ll be able to arrange a meeting with the Starfleet in a moment,” said the Mimic King.
Xue Law nodded. Although it seemed that they were on a planet outside, Xue Law understood that this might just be a picture.
There are also a large number of physical spaces in the subspace itself. In fact, many apostles can hide in the subspace and you might not be able to find them for hundreds of millions of years if you can't find any evidence against them.
You might even pass by without noticing that a subspace is hidden here.
"Wait a moment, I don't have much computing power available here. Let me start analyzing what's going on here."
"Hmm." Xue Luding felt that even without power, this fragment of the Mimic King could become a very good support spirit. After all, a lot of information no longer needed to be obtained through step-by-step probing, as the Mimic King could calculate the information through brute force computing power.
If you can't calculate it? Then it means you don't have enough computing power. Just keep finding the main body to allocate more computing power. That's the charm of numerical monsters.
Soon, the others woke up one after another. In an instant, there were screams, threats, and bewilderment. Xue Dinglu looked around and counted five "newcomers" in total, including himself.
He probably guessed what the Seventh Apostle was up to... How come the demons here are so different from those in Su Su's world!
"Quiet!" the man with three rows of sharp teeth roared in an instant.
The next moment, the other four newcomers were like ducks with their necks being choked; no matter how much they struggled or tried to speak, they couldn't make a sound.
Xue Dinglu sensed it and found it to be a simple curse. However, it was strange that all of these people were ordinary people, including this guy with three rows of teeth. He was an ordinary person, yet he could use a curse.
"This is the Death Cruise. We passengers, selected by the cruise ship, can live on the ship for free. The ship will regularly refresh all food and water, so you don't need to worry about that."
"But the price is that every three months, the cruise ship will dock at a shore. We just need to go to that world, complete the mission given to us by the Death Cruise, and return to the cruise ship alive. If we fail, we will be left forever in the world where the cruise ship docks, living happily with the monsters of that world!" The big man with three rows of teeth grinned and made a humorous joke.
Xue Law: "..."
Goodness, he was wondering why the atmosphere and scene of this group of people seemed so familiar. Wait, is the true identity of the Seventh Apostle the Supreme God?
what? !
At this moment, Xue Luding's mind was almost overturned by all his previous guesses. He thought that coming here would be like going straight to Su Su's hometown, a hellish place, where he would simply and brutally see many demons torturing humans.
But I never expected that you, the Seventh Apostle, would be playing with this kind of "infinite fear"?
Why do you look different from the other apostles? Why aren't you doing those things in your crotch anymore?
At this moment, Xue felt he had a lot of complaints he wanted to vent, but he held back.
Let's hear what information this person can provide.
At this moment, the man seemed to release the curse, and the others looked relieved, discovering that they could speak again.
"Where am I? You must be lying! You just drugged me. Let me go! I don't care how much money you want, just let me go!" a newcomer shouted hysterically.
The next moment, he was instantly silenced, his mouth agape like a dead duck, unable to utter a sound.
"If you just want to ask these pointless questions, then shut up. My patience is limited."
The other newcomers hesitated, but soon someone raised their hand and asked.
"Then...then...why do we have to complete a mission after the cruise ship docks? What kind of mission is it?" a girl asked.
"Usually it's a survival mission, but there are also escape missions and exploration missions. In short, we have to survive in a world full of strange things and monsters after the cruise ship docks and complete the mission!" the man said impatiently, but still revealed the information little by little.
"Then I have a question. What is this 'strange' thing you mentioned?" Xue Dinglu asked directly, finally getting to the information he was most interested in. (End of Chapter)
