Chapter 124: 142 God's Child (Supplementary Chapter)

Ma Hong's charred, disfigured face looked like boiling water; bubbles were constantly swelling on his skin, and as he made exaggerated facial expressions, the bubbles would burst, spraying and dripping out pus that emitted a foul, fishy stench.

"You really want to know about your origins, don't you? That's right, child, the woman in the photo on that pendant is your mother, Xue Yuruo." Ma Hong stood at a distance of about five steps from the two, his eyes unable to hide his excitement; the candlelight reflected in his eyes seemed to be a portrayal of the fanaticism in his heart, and he said, "She was the Saintess of our generation of the Anhai Divine Society, one of the most important figures in the Anhai Divine Society and even in the entire history of humanity, because she was to give birth to the most important person: you."

"What does that mean?" Drake asked in a deep voice.

Immediately responding to him were faces so agitated they were twisted and hideous; each of their faces gradually tore open amidst low laughter, exposing the True Form hidden beneath their human skin. Ma Hong laughed in a low voice: "Hehehe, don't you understand yet? You are what our organization refers to as the 'God's Child'."

"God's Child... I am the God's Child?" Hearing this, Drake had a bad premonition.

If his mother was the Saintess, then with whom could she have conceived a God's Child like him?

"Holy crap, your dad is a fish," Li Nuowei said with the appearance of having his worldview shattered, but his tone was not at all that surprised; instead, there was a hint of mockery.

"Shut up! You heretic! How dare you insult my God!" Ma Hong rebuked, so angry that the skin on his face split open, continuing to ooze.

Drake was somewhat silent; at this moment, nothing could shock him more than learning that his biological father was not human.

Yes, his father was a fish, and a big fish at that, the kind with four limbs.

Li Nuowei ignored Ma Hong; this hideous fellow had killed him in multiple reincarnation timelines, and he had also killed the other party countless times in subsequent timelines, so he had long since ceased to take this man-turned-monster seriously. He carefully recalled and pondered in what way Drake, as the "God's Child," was different from other fish-men.

If it were just a title, then Drake would be a bit too underwhelming.

However, Li Nuowei could not think of it immediately, mainly because in most reincarnation timelines, Drake had died directly before fully transforming, so Drake's special abilities as the "God's Child" had not been well displayed.

Ma Hong was quite angry at Li Nuowei's lack of reverence, not just because of the other party's dissatisfaction with calling the "Anhai God" a "fish," but also because of the other party's disrespectful attitude toward the great and important "God's Child."

"Great God's Child, please come with us. As for this scum, we will execute him here," Ma Hong said to Drake, then flicked his wide black robe sleeve, revealing an arm full of scales and sharp claws, and approached Li Nuowei step by step.

As soon as Ma Hong finished speaking, the people behind him holding candlesticks with cracked faces also revealed their fish-man attack postures and walked toward Li Nuowei with malicious expressions.

Drake protected Li Nuowei as he retreated, but while Li Nuowei was paying attention to the approaching malicious fish-men, he also noticed that the Abnormal creatures in the Inner World were actually moving as well; they followed the pair's footsteps and even attempted to flank them.

Li Nuowei wondered why the Abnormal creatures in the Inner World were also moving, then his gaze fell upon the Ancient Book in Drake's hand, and he suddenly realized: the Ancient Book contained some kind of mysterious power that could affect the Inner World's Abnormal creatures within a certain range, preventing them from getting close.

If the Ancient Book contained some kind of mysterious power of the Anhai God, and this power had a certain restraining effect on the Inner World, and the True Form of the sea monsters also came from the Inner World, then this Ancient Book should also be able to restrain the sea monsters.

"Then can we try taking this Ancient Book to the Air Raid Shelter? This way, we might be able to try and snatch the Green Light Gem that the other side is carefully protecting from the Soul-Devouring Swamp. That Green Light Gem is a magical stone that can slowly eliminate the fish-man state. If Drake doesn't want to become a fish-man, he should be able to use this stone to remove the Curse," Li Nuowei thought to himself, finally gradually finding a way to clear the "Air Raid Shelter dungeon."

At this moment, Li Nuowei also seemed to slowly understand why Lin Ling, the owner of the Forest Cabin, said those two candies could help him; consuming the candies allowed them to view the world from different angles, thereby better examining the overall situation from an absolute bird's-eye view and observing more details that he could not immediately discover as a participant.

"Don't come over!" Drake shouted sternly, making these "Jiaoren Disease Patients" who were gradually quickening their pace stop their aggressive behavior.

However, those fish-men seemed not to understand Drake's voice; they did not stop their footsteps and continued to rush over. A few fish-men simply lunged out, opening mouths full of shark teeth, and bit toward Li Nuowei.

Li Nuowei stood behind Drake and dodged quickly. Those fish-men dared not get too close to Drake, not even daring to cross the half-meter boundary, let alone the fact that Li Nuowei was almost completely stuck to Drake's back. The fish-men were helpless against Li Nuowei for a moment and could only harbor secret resentment.

Drake also discovered this point; he decisively knocked over the display case models, pushed over surrounding items, and then pulled Li Nuowei's arm to quickly flee the scene.

Li Nuowei followed closely behind Drake, watching the surrounding fish-men and the Inner World monsters—which only he could see—forced to squeeze to both sides as if affected by an invisible air wall after seeing the two of them running. He felt an indescribable sense of pride in his heart.

The two quickly rushed out of the museum, returned the way they came, and after finding the car parked nearby, hurriedly drove toward home.

Seeing this, the angry Ma Hong signaled to the numerous members of the Anhai Divine Society around him to pursue Li Nuowei and the others with him.

Like a car chase scene, Ma Hong and the other believers of the Anhai God chased relentlessly in three or four cars. They had made up their minds that this time they must transform Li Nuowei into an obedient tool; they were not worried about how much favor the Anhai God would grant them—they didn't care at all.

Drake kept stepping on the gas, attempting to increase the speed, but the shared car he was driving could not run very fast. Helpless, he was forced to compete in driving skills, relying on the shared car's small size to pass through one alley after another that large cars could not enter, and finally, after taking a detour, he finally temporarily shook off those people on land.

"Go to the Air Raid Shelter, we're going to the Air Raid Shelter," Li Nuowei said to Drake in the car, "Bring this Ancient Book; with the information complete, it should be enough to clear that Soul-Devouring Mire."
