Death Wizard Diary.

Chapter 539 I Don't Believe in God

What the hell?

This was Gaga's first reaction when he heard that Thor wanted to check for contamination in his body.

Wizard apprentices must reach level three before the age of 30 to prevent mutations caused by radiation contamination of their own mental energy and magical power.

Formal wizards fear more the temptations and corruption that come from the realm of knowledge.

Meanwhile, the wizards and other demonic creatures wandering the No Man's Lands must forever fight against the ever-growing pollution within the No Man's Lands themselves.

Every year, a large number of wizards and demonic creatures die from the pollution of the No Man's Land. However, a small number of people withstand the pollution and use the unique resources and rules of the No Man's Land to strengthen themselves and successfully advance.

This is the fundamental reason why outsiders keep pouring into no man's land.

Dangerous, but full of opportunities.

It gave those desperate people in barren lands the possibility of taking a step forward.

Seeing Gaja's skepticism, Thor also knew that a stranger's suggestion was more likely to arouse suspicion.

Thor tilted his head and thought for a moment, then offered an even more tempting offer.

"You are the first person to visit since the establishment of the Spirit Cleansing Wizard Tower. For this first business deal... I can provide free medical treatment."

"Oh, young wizard, my years of travel across the continent have taught me that what's free is often the most expensive. I'd rather you state a condition before considering whether this deal is worthwhile."

"If you need a trade-off, how about establishing a stable supply chain?"

Sol brought the raft to shore, jumped onto the lakeshore, squinted, and looked the Gaga drum up and down.

"Of course, if you are really scared, you can choose to give up the deal."

To everyone's surprise, Gaja puffed out his chest and said, "Anyone who can replace Wizard Dodge must be no ordinary wizard. I believe in your abilities. So what if it involves risk? The greater the risk, the greater the reward. I agree to this deal!"

Thor wasn't surprised. How could someone who dared to be a traveling merchant in no man's land be a coward who only cared about survival?

"Then please put down your luggage first, and let me see your back."

Jiajia first gripped the shoulder strap tightly, then let go.

He bent his knees slightly, allowing the bottom of the luggage behind him to touch the ground.

"I can't fit all this luggage down. If you want to see my back, come to the gap between me and the luggage."

The sound of the gaga drum became steady.

Saul's words made him realize that the other person was indeed quite capable. Capable people deserve respect.

Thor remained expressionless, a slight sense of relief washing over him. He had just used meditation to observe Gaga's body and noticed some unsettling shadows behind it.

If the other party is contaminated, it is likely behind the shadowy figure.

The reaction of the drum made Thor realize that he had guessed correctly.

"If I continue to strengthen my meditation method, I have a chance to achieve the 'observation' aspect of the four diagnostic methods of observation, listening, questioning, and palpation."

He walked behind Jiajia Gu and, following the slight droop of the latter's neck, observed the connection between her body and her luggage.

Unsurprisingly.

There was a pool of black slime on the back of the Gaga drum, which was connected to the luggage behind it.

It's not immediately clear whether it grew from his body or from the luggage.

Thor transformed his newly grown right pinky into a slender tentacle and slowly approached the black slime.

When the tentacles were less than 10 centimeters away from the slime, the black slime suddenly reacted violently, constantly contracting, expanding, and deforming, while making a "gurgling" sound.

A thin layer of sweat immediately appeared on Jiajia's forehead.

He endured the pain without crying out or saying anything to stop Saul's actions.

But Thor saw that he was tense all over, as if he would jump up and attack him at any moment.

"While willing to take risks, are you also always prepared to overturn the table?"

Saul wasn't nervous; he was even a little excited. It was as if he had returned to the time when he had just become an apprentice and was assigned to the morgue to dissect corpses.

Through continuous practice and exploration, his understanding underwent a dramatic transformation.

Thor pulled himself out of his memories, suppressing the mental energy fluctuations on his tentacles, while secretly sending a trace of contamination from the Black Tide into the tips of his tentacles.

The violently reacting black slime became docile in an instant.

This startled Jiajia Gu, who was already nearing her limit, and she was suddenly filled with immense joy and intense unease.

That was the unreal feeling of possibly being rescued and having hope after being tortured for so long.

He gritted his teeth, remaining motionless and silent.

Thor paid no attention to Gaga's inner thoughts. He was simply carefully guarding against Gaga's counterattack while slowly allowing his tentacles to make intimate contact with the black slime.

And expand the contact area as much as possible.

The black slime did not resist; instead, it intimately wrapped itself around Thor's tentacles, like a loving caress between lovers.

However, the next scene reveals the true nature of the plot, and the murderous intent is fully exposed.

The tentacles, which were still entangled with the slime, suddenly opened all their suckers.

The sharp teeth on the suction cup and the forked tip of the tongue together sucked up the contaminants inside the black mucus.

For a moment, the black slime wanted to escape and resist. However, because it was bound by the tentacles, it was unable to break free of its confinement immediately.

The next second, its size rapidly decreased, and it gradually lost its ability to resist.

As the translucent gray tentacles gradually became stained with nerve-like, slender, and forked black threads, Thor felt a pollution and a familiar spiritual force gradually filling the tentacles that were fishing for his soul.

Although he still had some energy left, and although he could have absorbed all the pollution, he stopped absorbing it before the black threads spread to his palm.

He then severed the newly grown little finger again. He then held the tentacle, now covered in black markings, in front of the Gaga Drum.

Jiajia Gu stared in astonishment at the thin, black tentacle, which was less than half a meter long.

He finally realized what kind of wizard he had met and what a crazy yet correct decision he had made.

"You...you've cleansed the pollution from my body?"

Thor shrugged. "Although I'd like to admit it, unfortunately it wasn't completely eradicated."

"The pollution has been invading your body for a long time and has become deeply intertwined with your magical and mental problems. I cannot completely eradicate it at the moment. I can only clear away most of the mutated and manifested pollution first, and then treat you to enhance your resistance and repair capabilities. But this may take a long time to completely eradicate the pathogen... the source of pollution."

But the cunning merchant did not entirely believe Saul's words.

He maintained a respectful attitude and cautiously probed.

"If you think my reward isn't enough, then I'm willing to offer all my goods and my treasures in exchange for a chance at complete health." Jiajia rubbed his hands together incessantly, pleading, "Please have pity on me, a cave dweller who has been tormented by pollution for over a decade."

Cavemen are one of the common races on the continent of Neflet.

I never expected that someone would come to the continent of Stata and become a merchant wandering in the no-man's-land.

Thor has his own set of principles.

No matter what treasures or wealth the Jaja Drum could provide, and no matter how pitiful he appeared, he could never completely cure this caveman.

The abilities he displayed were far beyond his control, potentially making him a rare material on the experimental tables of other powerful wizards, and thus subject to eternal confinement.

Thor remained unfazed, extending his right hand, which was already prepared, with strands of black, sticky fluid constantly corroding his skin.

It seemed to want to burrow into his body to complete a new parasitic process.

"It's not that I don't want to get treatment, it's just that if this continues, before you're fully cured, I'll become a new breeding ground for this contaminant. Then the contaminant will turn on us, and we'll both die."

Gaga looked at Thor's palm, trying to find a flaw in his words, but he knew all too well the power of the black slime.

Finally, he smiled wryly, "Indeed, if an outsider wizard can easily resolve the pollution that the No Man's Land has imposed on us, then you will surely become the new master of the No Man's Land and become its god."

The cave dwellers have their own beliefs. They worship the Earth Mother Goddess, believing her to be the will of the world.

Thor withdrew his hand, lowered his head, and said in a calm tone, "I will not become a god, I do not believe in gods."
