This bug is amazing!

Chapter 248 cleared! Level skyrocketed to 20! (Part 2)

Moreover, the fog was very strange; even divine light couldn't illuminate very far, which was even more puzzling.

You should know that the divine light of the Divine Infant is the most effective against evil spirits. Whether you are a Chinese monster or a Western devil, once it shines on you, evil spirits will all flee in terror.

"It's so strange. This fog is incredibly damp and cold, making it feel like we're in a glacial region."

Someone asked in surprise.

"That's right, such eerie fog must be the work of an evil spirit, but how could there be an evil spirit in this world that is not afraid of divine light? Unless this evil spirit is much more powerful than the prodigy, but wouldn't that also be an S-rank? Wait... where is the divine light?"

Before the person who was supposed to continue could finish speaking, they discovered that the divine light that had originally covered a small area had now vanished without a trace.

"Is anyone there? Little Nishimura?! The witch doctor?"

No one answered, as if he were the only person in the entire abyss. Even if he ran and bumped around at top speed, he would not encounter anyone.

And at this moment, the same scene is quietly happening to everyone.

Tan Ming was holding a flashlight, but for some reason, the fully charged flashlight completely stopped working.

After trying several times, he simply threw the flashlight to determine his location.

Unfortunately, the fog seemed to swallow even sound, rendering his action futile. In the pitch-black environment, his key ability, which earned him the title of "Grim Reaper," was rendered useless.

First, as a person of normal intelligence, he had anticipated a situation that most people could also think of:

The intelligence is false.

This mist ability doesn't match the S-class alien beast mentioned at all. Could it be that Xiao Xiaoxiao is misleading us by using the president's name?

But what benefit would she gain from doing this, and what would her motives be?
There is a lack of crucial information now, making it difficult for Tan Ming to make a judgment.

"But as long as I see a face... as long as I see a face..."

His Death Note has never contained anything he can't kill. As long as you know what it looks like and its name, even an S-class monster can be killed!
His eyes were resolute, but his steps grew increasingly slow. As the cold fog affected his movements and numbed his thoughts, Tan Ming's eyes finally became dull and lifeless.

"Boom!"

He collapsed to the ground, clutching tightly in his arms the Death Note, his means of survival.

Just then, in the dark mist, a beautiful figure stopped in front of Lian Tanming.

That's Xie Jiayi.

However, her current state was somewhat strange. Her pupils were ice blue, her skin was as white as snow, and she exuded a faint mist.

"According to Ji Yi, the plan must be implemented by dealing with you first."

As she spoke, she squatted down and took the Death Note from Tan Ming's body. Then she searched him thoroughly and confiscated all the suspicious notes on his body.

"Hmm, that should work."

With a wave of her hand, she disappeared.

Just seconds after she left, Tan Ming felt the chill on his body begin to disappear, and his consciousness gradually returned.

"Aren't you cold anymore?" Tan Ming asked as he stood up, touching his cheeks, which were even a little hot.

"So I just fainted? Wait! Where's my Death Note?"

This is too strange. The way things are going today seems extremely unusual from every angle!
"What exactly is going on?!"

"What exactly is going on?!"

Zhuge Dengpao looked at the fog in front of him and was thrown a logout button, feeling completely bewildered.

"Bring 5 game coins to exchange for it. If that's not enough, use talismans to make up the difference. One talisman can be exchanged for 1000 game coins."

Xie Jiayi's voice was sometimes near and sometimes far, very indistinct. Even those who knew her well would have a hard time recognizing her.

Zhuge Dengpao was even more confused.

Who is he? Where is he? What is he going to do?
What exactly is this fog trying to do? Save him? Or extort him?
However, upon careful consideration, Zhuge Dengpao realized that he seemed to have no other choice. If he didn't run, he would be waiting to die. This mission was obviously suspicious, and if he didn't leave now, he would really be courting death.

So Zhuge Dengpao agreed to the deal and left the instance.

"Well, next we need to find Park Chang-young. He can teleport based on coordinates. If we only need to teleport two people, it should be able to start very quickly."

This was one of the plans and directions I received from Ji Yi before we parted ways.

"First, we'll gather information from the Mist Woman, and then use the teleportation ability of the extraordinary Park Chang-young to quickly locate the lost sealed artifact."

Thinking this, Xie Jiayi transformed into a wisp of mist once more and headed in a certain direction.

The plan to seal the ancient god went even more smoothly than she had imagined.

This was all thanks to a skill card she got as a reward after clearing the [Strange! Strange! Strange!] dungeon.

【Name: Fusion of Spirits】

[Skill Card Attribute: Active Skill, Permanently Mastered]

[Effect: Select either unit. If the target agrees, you can merge them with you. You will share the target's abilities, but control of consciousness requires mutual agreement.]

[Learning Requirements: Onmyoji Class]

[Note: Beautiful lady, if I may be so bold as to ask, may I merge with you?]

After Xie Jiayi found the Mist Maiden frozen in ice, she had no choice but to use the [Spirit Fusion] skill to preserve the Mist Maiden's consciousness.

After the ancient god awakened, the Mist Maiden's situation remained precarious.

She is a monster, and all her power comes from the ancient gods. Therefore, even the slightest corruption of her consciousness could turn her into a walking corpse.

However, a panacea is not a magic bullet that solves everything once and for all; taking it does not mean you will develop antibodies immediately.

Therefore, in order to preserve her self-awareness, the Mist Woman eked out a living in the desolate Antarctic.

Currently, Xie Jiayi can only bring the Mist Maiden out when she is in the [Spirit Fusion] state, in order to prevent her from being corrupted by the consciousness of the ancient god.

Of course, doing these things alone is far from enough.

Under normal circumstances, the moment these two hundred-plus people were teleported to the Abyss of the Ancient Gods, they should have been corrupted into monsters by the terrifying spiritual power.

Therefore, before Xie Jiayi came here, she found a core sealing artifact.

Remains of an immortal.

According to the mist woman's own account, she was deceived into allowing an unknown villain to move the seal.

By some strange twist of fate, she not only allowed the other party to do so, but even became an accomplice.

Later, the Mist Woman realized something was wrong, but it was too late. She couldn't even save her own life, let alone restore the seal.

Therefore, although the Mist Maiden knew the whereabouts of the sealed artifact, she did not have time to tell anyone before disappearing from Azure Star until Xie Jiayi found her.

"Fortunately, the remains of an immortal suppressed the damaged magic array, and the ancient god temporarily fell into a slumber, but that is only a temporary solution."

Muttering to herself, Xie Jiayi had already arrived behind Park Changyong.

"Next, it's the final step."

Ten minutes later, at the lakeside cabin.

Pian looked suspiciously toward the abyss not far away.

"What's wrong, bro? Why the long face?"

Ji Yi asked the question knowingly.

According to Pian's original plan, the two hundred-plus extraordinary individuals should have become bait for the ancient gods the moment they were teleported to the abyss.

But why.
There's no sound coming from inside right now, and it looks like one player has escaped.

This is so strange, so unbelievable.

He took out his phone and checked again; all the superhumans had departed and the teleportation was complete.

But why hasn't the divine sacrifice begun? Could something have happened to the ancient god?

I can't understand it at all!
"Can't figure it out? Then just stop thinking about it."

Ji Yi chuckled, revealing a malicious smile. "I say, Lord Pian, you had a brilliant plan, how does it feel to have it ruined by my own hands?"

"?!"

Upon hearing this, Pi'an was struck dumb!
Ji Yi's self-disclosure was too fast, and the high density of information in a short period of time left Pi An unable to catch his breath.

What does that mean? Ji Yi knows his real name?!
It's important to know that Pian never revealed his name from beginning to end; in fact, it could be said that he never revealed his real name in any world.

How did Ji Yi find out?!

Besides, what about the so-called plan being sabotaged?

"Generally speaking, I will spend a lot of time explaining so that you can understand what I'm talking about. These are things that villains do to the protagonists, and this is also a classic example of 'villains die from talking too much'."

Ji Yi spoke slowly.

"But I really want you to know what happened."

Ji Yi wore a sly, villainous smile that seemed both confident and wicked.

This was part of his superb acting skills, even though he couldn't remember where he had seen that smug smile before.

"So that's how it is! The so-called Chicken Leg Immortal was just a facade; you were the one chosen by the God of Deception!"

Pian exclaimed in shock, "You actually put yourself in this trap, using yourself as bait to deceive me?!"

"Hahaha!"

Ji Yi chuckled three times, but did not directly answer Pi An's question.

"Instead of saying these useless things, why don't you guess whether I can complete the ancient god's sealing mission?"

As soon as he finished speaking, a beam of light shot into the sky from the abyss to the north.

Pian didn't know what it was, but he seemed to have a premonition of the outcome.

At such close range, Pian could not sense the ancient god's overflowing consciousness, indicating that the lost sealing artifact had been found and the ancient god would be sealed again.

The scene of the ancient god awakening and destroying the world that he had envisioned would not be seen at all!
Pian has destroyed several planets in his life through deception and lies.

With each one he destroys, he bears the karmic consequences and gains terrifying power.
His lifespan is endless. As long as he plots and schemes time and time again, he will eventually reach the pinnacle of the universe and prove himself, letting the God of Deception know that he is the most qualified successor!
But now, he's actually been tricked by the true chosen one?!
What a disgrace! What a disgrace!!!
"What's with that gritted-teeth look on your face? I know you're powerful. If you could unleash your full potential, destroying a planet would be easy for you, right?"

"Too bad~ You can't use your power at all right now, you defective product."

Ji Yi smiled, a condescending and disdainful smile that seemed to be mocking someone with intellectual disabilities.

Pian was furious!
However, he was unable to use any power, not even the slightest bit, to kill the person in front of him.

"You think sealing the ancient god means the mission is a success? Almost everyone in the world has been infected and turned into monsters."

That was just a lie.

Ji Yi interrupted with a light laugh.

"Do you think I don't know? Only 80% of humanity is infected right now, it's not as exaggerated as you say. And you were just saying you could wipe out humanity with a single thought, and if the 'Spark' fails, then the 'Sealing' mission won't be considered a success either, right?"

Ji Yi actually predicted what Pi An was going to say next.

It was as if all lies had nowhere to hide in front of Ji Yi!
"Who exactly are you? How can you be so much more skilled at deception than I am?"

"Hehe, it's good that you admit it."

Ji Yi spoke calmly.

"Otherwise, I really wouldn't have been able to take your power so easily."

[Skill activated: Winners sit at the table, losers eat dirt]

"?!"

Pi An's heart seemed to skip a beat as he felt the changes happening inside his body in disbelief.

His power has vanished!

"So strong."

As Ji Yi's aura continued to rise, he himself was quite surprised.

This power far surpasses that of the so-called Nascent Soul stage; its surging and terrifying force even made Ji Yi marvel at it.

"Pian, is this your power? Do you know what I was thinking the moment I gained your power?"

Pian stared blankly at Ji Yi, his mouth agape as if he wanted to say something but couldn't utter a word.

He was fooled again. Ji Yi had worked so hard to hide his identity for so long, and even if he followed the "sealing" mission route, he wouldn't need to reveal his identity.

The reason for this sudden and unexpected self-disclosure was not that Ji Yi wanted to show off or boast that he was the winner.

It's all for this moment!
"I was thinking, if such a powerful force isn't even a god, then how terrifying must a true god be?"

Ji Yi's words were a heartfelt compliment.

He felt omnipotent; he was God!

So powerful, so surging, higher than the sky, deeper than the sea! This power is simply magnificent!
Pian looked at Ji Yi, whose face was full of excitement, and coldly interrupted:
"Now I know that lies are meaningless in front of you, so don't blame me for being blunt with some of the truth."

"You can't kill me with my power, and this skill of yours only works in the current instance, right? So, is it really interesting for you to borrow my power for a while?"

"I paid for a legendary item."

Ji Yi didn't respond to Pi An's words, but instead spoke to herself.

"I've swapped out a one-time skill card. Do you want to know what it is?"

Pian was stunned.

He had a strong, vague sense of foreboding.

Wait, could it be?!

Keltiq Numa is dead

Ji Yi spoke slowly, her voice like a divine pronouncement!

As he uttered those words, he felt a great deal of his power vanish permanently.

"Do not!!!"

Pian let out a piercing, sharp scream.

But he couldn't stop Ji Yi at all.

Pollution reversed, turbid blood dissipated, and wisdom returned!
After shouting this, Ji Yi felt his previously overwhelming power completely disappear, and his physical strength and vitality seemed to have been damaged.

Even the mental strength that I had worked so hard to develop was damaged!
