Doomsday Train, I went crazy by hoarding billions of items.

Chapter 149 Power Only Gods Can Possess

Jiang Ran's mind raced, but she remained outwardly calm as she continued, "The real young lady is dead, and her body has been taken over by the current young lady."

If he was just surprised and uncertain at the outlet mall, after hearing Jiang Ran's words, he was so shocked that he took two steps back!
Jiang Ran lowered her eyes and suddenly thought of a certain possibility.

If the outlet's ability to impersonate someone else doesn't originate from him, then his reaction... makes sense, doesn't it?

Perhaps, in the eyes of the outlet mall, this ability shouldn't be something the young lady should possess, which is why he found it so hard to accept.

When Jiang Ran discovered that game skills could also be brought to Paro Island, she vaguely realized that the skills she had obtained before were actually somewhat overpowered.

While other players' skills also possess various powerful effects, just as Jiang Ran had previously considered, Annihilation, a skill that can freely replace a complete identity, could also be used against the Saintess, or even a god…

That would be a bit scary.

This means that as long as Jiang Ran is powerful enough, she can even turn all the rulers of Palo Island into mere symbols in her hands.

Having figured this out, Jiang Ran suddenly stopped rushing to "kidnap" the outlet mall. Perhaps she could pry more information out of it through this crack.

Outlet Mallet finally recovered from his shock and glared at Jiang Ran fiercely: "Do you know how Miss did it?!"

Majik, who had been silent, also noticed the unusual behavior at Outlet. He initially thought that Jiang Ran was probably bluffing Outlet. Wasn't the whole "real or fake young lady" thing just Jiang Ran pretending?
In Majik's view, Jiang Ran has always been a true young lady, only keeping Xiaobai as a slave to pretend to be her true self and to obtain another layer of security.

If you let him do it, he would choose to do it anyway.

By using an ID with a clearly defined gender to make everyone initially believe that the young lady is a woman, and then using Xiaobai as the young lady's public persona, with each reversal, who could guess that Jiang Ran is the real young lady?

Even Majik himself only realized this through his irrational intuition and his dislike for Xiaobai.

But seeing that Jiang Ran didn't rush to grab Outlet or make him submit, but instead calmly discussed the issue of identity replacement, and even Outlet's reaction was unusually extreme, Majik suddenly realized a problem: what if what Jiang Ran said was true?
Does she really possess some method that allows her to completely take over someone else's identity, and did she use it on the original "young lady"?

This conjecture sent a jolt through Majik, leaving him completely disoriented and almost forgetting to feign weakness.

He stared intently at Jiang Ran's expressionless face, thinking to himself: Does she even know that such power doesn't belong to ordinary players?

Because he had both served the gods under God and actively sought various methods to summon evil gods, Majik knew far more secrets about the game itself than Jiang Ran.

The most profound point is that in this bizarre and fantastical world, identity represents everything.

Whether they were residents of Paro Island, temple servants, or exiles, their only foothold was their identity information.

Once you lose something that can prove your identity, you can only... turn into nourishment.

In most cases, losing one's identity also means losing one's life. He once overheard God say that the world's energy itself is a large cycle.

The energy of the entire world is finite; it is simply a matter of changing from one form to another.

The only exception is human emotion, which is always fluctuating. When those emotions suddenly erupt, they trigger the birth of a new energy.

Thus, the exiles became a new "resource" for the gods to plunder.

That is why every "identity" is crucial and unique.

Majik didn't really care about any of this at the time. Even God, when serving that deity and using the Holy Seed to harvest energy for him, was always very careful.

The old man was worried that his existence would be erased by the gods and used as nourishment for the next round of life.

Majik lowered his eyes, concealing the shock and unease in his heart.

The power to arbitrarily strip someone of their identity, even to take their place... that's something only gods can possess...

Jiang Ran didn't know what Outlet and Majik were shocked about, but she could easily guess that it must be related to this skill.

She didn't feel much about it. Even knowing that her skills were extraordinary, she would only think things like, "That's great, I deserve all the best things."

Facing the almost ferocious face of the outlet mall, she calmly said, "If I had known, wouldn't I have become a young lady?"

A hint of sarcasm flashed across the outlet's face: "You?"

It seemed that Jiang Ran's calmness made him realize that he shouldn't have revealed these things in front of Majik, and he finally recovered from his earlier loss of composure.

With a somber expression and a somewhat veiled glance at Majik, whose expression remained unchanged, Outlet suddenly pulled a small crystal bottle from his pocket.

The surface of the crystal bottle, only half the size of a palm, is decorated with exquisite reliefs, which appear to be some kind of architecture.

The crystal bottle contained what appeared to be a transparent liquid, and at first glance, nothing seemed out of the ordinary. However, from the moment the outlet store owner took the bottle out, Jiang Ran felt a growing sense of unease.

This feeling... is somewhat similar to the sense of threat that Big Eyeball gave her back then, but not as intense.

It's as if it's been diluted.

Jiang Ran couldn't presume to say that it was because she had become stronger after robbing the Big Eyeball. She guessed that the item in Outlet's hand might have come from that saintess.

The Holy Maiden was probably unaware of the grudge between Jiang Ran and Big Eyeball, and naturally she wouldn't know that even when Big Eyeball personally intervened, he couldn't do anything to Jiang Ran, let alone with these diluted substances that she had brought over.

Jiang Ran had to admit that she breathed a sigh of relief when she saw what appeared to be the outlet's "ultimate solution," and was glad that she hadn't let the magical girl duo get involved.

Outlet held the crystal bottle with a pious expression, muttering something to himself. The next second, he smashed the bottle at Jiang Ran's feet!

The transparent liquid solidified the moment it came into contact with the air, like a wall made of brightly colored mushrooms or mold, trying to envelop Jiang Ran!
