Dense Forest Borderland

...... gone so dryly, leaving him only a soulless vessel.

Bai Liu knows full well that all he did was trick Spades into liking him and then his death, his pain, his betrayal followed.

Spades is a very special player, he doesn't have a soul, he simply exists in the form of a vessel, so Bai Liu can't trade souls with him to control his opponent.

The defense of this vessel called Spades is extremely strong, even if an attack breaks through the barrier of defense and hits Spades, or even kills Spades halfway, it will not be able to cause Spades, an intuitive creature, to feel [Pain].

This guy's brain is so straight-laced that he doesn't feel any physical pain from any external attack.

To sacrifice Spades' pain, it can only be psychological.

That is to say, the medium through which Spades is made to feel pain by actively creating an emotional attachment to someone.

Bai Liu did just that.

And Spades, if they had a soul, the whole process would be so much easier.

Bai Liu only needs to trade souls with Spades, because after trading souls, the player who sells his soul to him will develop an irresistible emotional attachment to him, and Bai Liu can easily make the other player feel pain through his own "death".

For example, Liu Jiayi and Tang Er fight.

Luckily, Spades is simple enough that the whole process isn't too difficult for Bai Liu, and while it's unclear what the level of favoritism is in the end, Spades does feel at least a little more than a friend towards him.

[There is no one but you who does not fear me.]

[I kinda like you.

[Do I need to ask your permission to kiss you?]

[I'm sorry, don't hate me.

Will you marry me?

[Don't lie to me.]

Spades' pain was only Bai Liu's most precious and pious offering to the evil gods.

So here he hovers now, lingering against this vessel, struggling with himself ......

Is it worth it?

There is no value.

Sacrifices are the most worthless things after they have been offered.

It wasn't even worth lingering over his memories.

Bai Liu's fingers, which were hanging down his side, slightly closed around the whip, and the black color on the whip, which had been contained, slowly began to climb again, just a hair's breadth away from completely blackening the entire bone whip.

He calmly withdrew the eyes that had fallen to the bottom of the lake and turned around in the water, looking up with a look so light that it was as if nothing had happened.

Bai Liu raised his hand, and the giant corpse hand rose tamely upward, ready to send Bai Liu, who stood on the back of its hand, out of the lake.

The whip that fell to the bottom of the lake slowly rose, and the moment it was about to leave the lake surface completely, a cold white hand violently emerged from the bottom of the lake, clutched the whip with a deadly grip, and pulled it downward fiercely.

Bai Liu, who had been pulled off the corpse's hand, turned to look at the hand, bubbles spilling from the corners of his mouth.

...... How is that possible, he can't even feel Spades in this game anymore.

The hand that was pulling him now gave Bai Liu a familiar yet unfamiliar feeling, as if it was Spades, but also as if it wasn't Spades.

Another hand emerged from the mud and sand, also clutching the whip and pulling it down, the movement was hard and fast, Bai Liu was pulled down unexpectedly, falling down to the bottom of the lake very fast, in the moment he was going to smash into the mud and sand, something broke out from the bottom of the lake, and steadily caught Bai Liu.

Long silver-blue curls drifted apart at the bottom of the murky, unclear lake, and pure eyes fell like a god's mercy on the world, holding the only believer in his arms, his voice soft and calm.

"You are my only believer, then you can't believe in anyone else."

Taville, one eye a shimmering silver-blue and the other a deep, dark black, bent down and calmly took hold of the whip in Bai Liu's arms and pulled it upward, pulling Bai Liu's body upward and closer to Taville:

"Feel free to presume that I've left you behind to go around wreaking havoc, turning my back on me to believe in someone else, hurting myself, erasing myself."

"I'll be angry, Bai Liu."

[System Alert: Player Spades used his personal skill (Fallen Monsterization) to force his Spirit Level down to 0]

[System alert: Player Spades equips Monster Book Identity "Monster Book: Fallen Old Evil God"]

Bai Liu's pupils contracted dramatically.

The lake.

The Reverse God, who was crouching on the shore and waiting, seemed to have noticed the change in the lake and stood up violently, his complexion changing dramatically, "Spades This guy is too messed up!"

"To actually use his skills in a place like the game pool in order to be able to go down against Bai Liu without quitting the game, the worldline in the game pool can't afford his monstering, is he trying to destroy this game worldline!"

"All of you exit the game immediately!" Reverse God turned his head and roared, "Promptly!"

Bai Jiamu and Bai Yi's faces changed when they heard that Spades had used his personal skill, and Bai Yi couldn't help but groan, "Spades is trying to get us killed in such a place!"

"Stop pussyfooting around and get outta here! Or else you'll really become that Spades guy's corpse teammate!" Bai Jiamu hit Bai Yi on the head.

Bai Yi and Bai Jiamu call up the panel and simply quit the game.

As soon as the Reverse God saw that Tang Er Fight and Liu Jiayi hadn't left yet, his face cracked and he crumbled, "Why are you guys still here? Hurry up and go!"

Liu Jiayi stared fixedly at the lake, "Bai Liu hasn't come out yet."

Tang Er hits a sideways glance at the Reverse God, "Spades use skills Bai Liu is the one who is most impacted, we need to see him and go with him."

"You went crazy when you saw Spades who used a skill, okay!" The Reverse God helplessly held his forehead, "That guy's personal skills are so destructive to the point of terror, and he doesn't have enough control over his skills that he can only maintain short-term consciousness after each use of his skills, and then it's just an indiscriminate attack where he loses his self-awareness."

"Spades himself is also clear about the destructive power of his skills, no matter how the situation, almost never used skills in the game." Reverse God turned his head to look at the lake, look inexplicable deep breath, "...... but he this time, bravado to this point, is really do not want to leave easily ah ......"

"That would be bad ah ...... two evil god level characters appearing together in a game and still refusing to leave." Adversary God's hand went to the back of his neck and he turned it, his eyes were cold and stern, but there was still a loose smile in his tone, "I don't know if I can control it."

"Two little brats in the heat of the moment are really good at causing trouble for everyone around them." The Reverse God let out a breath, "But it'll have to be hard now."

[System prompt: Is player Judge Against the Gods using the skill weapon (Judge's Cross Heavy Sword)?]

[OK].

A huge cross heavy sword appeared diagonally across the back of the Adversary God, the handle of the sword just barely gripped by the Adversary God's hand that was placed behind his neck.

This sword was huge, the sword body was about two meters long, about two adult palms wide, and the horizontal handle was also fifty to sixty centimeters, looking like a cross to the eye, it looked very heavy and pressed down on the Reverse God's shoulders a little bit shorter.

"It's so heavy ......" grumbled the Adversary, "Why are skill weapons so heavy? Didn't it change from my desire? Make it lighter for me."

Before he could speak, the lake before him, which had been calm, suddenly formed a vortex in the center, spinning and sucking in everything around it, whether it was grass, dead trees, corpses, or the shoreline into some sort of abstract colored lines.

The whole world was like a game that disintegrated after hitting a bug, and began to disappear bit by bit with the whirlpool in the lake as the center, and this disappearance soon spread to the shore where the Reverse God and Tang Er hit their feet.

Tang Er hit quickly carried Liu Jiayi up and jumped to the place where it had not yet disintegrated, looking grave.

"Get out." The Reverse God said calmly without looking back, "I'll bring your tactician out safely."

"I don't like casualties."

The flowing lines of color were frantically sucked inside the vortex as Tang Er struck a glance at the Adversary God and the heavy sword on his shoulder, patted Liu Jiayi, and calmly said, "Go first, we can't help by staying here."

Liu Jiayi stared dead at the back of the Reverse God, bit her lower lip for a moment, and finally nodded out the panel, "I know."

What Bai Liu won't let them meddle in, they can never meddle in.

Liu Jiayi and Tang Er played out of the game.

The Adversary was finally relieved to be gone at last.

He was not certain that he could protect Liu Jiayi and Tang Er from fighting under two Evil God ranked characters.

The Reverse God glanced at the lake where the vortex was getting bigger and bigger and helplessly took a deep breath before jumping without hesitation with his sword and swam towards the center of the vortex that was sucking everything away.

...... Spades What a mess.

Knowing full well that the Evil God is searching everywhere for the fallen his Monster Book Soul Identity, the old Evil God Taville, to contaminate this identity card completely.

And then Spades actually even unseals his soul in a game full of evil god polluters, summoning Taville as a monster identity, and as a result triggers the worldline to collapse, to be forced to absorb and store everything in the world.

If Taville's identity as a monster is completely tainted by the Evil God, Spades' soul will be completely hopeless, and he'll really become an NPC in the game that has no self-awareness and only knows how to attack.

--will become a full-blown, impossible-to-leave-the-game monster.

The center of the whirlpool had rolled to the bottom of the lake, a bare patch of mud, and kneeling on it were two people, or monsters, embracing each other.

The lines of the entire world mingled in the lake kept pouring into Taville's back as he wrapped his arms around Bai Liu, his eyes growing lax, "I didn't leave you behind and leave, I've been ...... trying very hard, trying to stay by your side, trying to come and see you."

Bai Liu gripped Taville's shoulders tightly with both hands and buried his head into Taville's embrace, "...... I know."

"Don't hate me." Taville's voice was so soft as to be almost ethereal, he raised his hand to embrace Bai Liu, but halfway up it dropped feebly, "Don't ...... sacrifice your pain to the Evil God, don't do what you hate for me."

"I'd be so angry ...... so sad." Taville said very, very softly.

Bai Liu takes a deep breath, "I won't, never again."

Taville bowed her head and rested it on Bai Liu's shoulder, her lips too pale for any blood.

He saw the still blackening whip by Bai Liu's side and said very softly, "You're lying, you're lying to me."

"You can't control your desires and still want the power that evil god gave you, why?"

Bai Liu's lips pursed into a straight line.

Taville dropped her long eyelashes, "Do you already hate me so much that you won't even answer me?"

The lake behind it, absorbed by Taville, became redder and redder, more and more viscous, and the old wooden carving of the evil god smiled in the lake, the gaping hole in the heart on the wooden carving growing wider and wider, and a great deal of red paint gushing out of this hole, turning all the lake water a crimson red.

As this lake water poured into Taville's body, his silver-blue eyes, which had been glowing with a shimmering light, became out of focus, and his voice became more and more raw and trance-like, "--You really don't want to believe in me anymore?"

[SYSTEM WARNING: Player Spades' Monster Book Identity "Fallen Old Evil God" desire is about to get out of control! Please remove your identity equipment promptly!

"Do you really want everything he has to offer you that badly?" Taville's voice breaks and breathes a disturbing emotion, "Everything he can give you, I can give you."

Taville slammed down on Bai Liu, holding the stunned Bai Liu's hands down to the ground with one hand, a look of uncontrolled persistence in his eyes, but a soft tone in his voice:

"I am the only God you believe in, and God will not allow you to turn your back on your faith."

"If you're really going to be completely contaminated by any evil god, that evil god should also be me."

Taville's long eyelashes fluttered lightly as he crouched down and rested his forehead against Bai Liu's heart while moving his hand into the hem of Bai Liu's shirt in a raw motion, "I'm going to contaminate you completely, Bai Liu."
