Chapter 156: Medici's Ambition

A terrifying torrent of information washed over the entire space, threatening the foundation of this world's existence; the space itself showed signs of shattering.

——After experiencing the scouring of the information torrent, the various types of information constituting this space became unstable, showing signs of being assimilated by the information torrent.

The Sequence 2 of the "Seer," the "Sage," can already achieve self-informatization, becoming a "Knowledge Demon" and an "Information Being."

And after possessing the "Hermit" Unique, Chumen can go a step further, capable of informatizing the material world and pulling all enemies into his own battlefield.

In repeated exchanges with Source Qualities, both overt and covert, Chumen has become very proficient at dealing with these "stowaways"; as long as he destroys the coordinate points they inhabit, they will be greatly weakened.

Back then, the "Knowledge Wilderness" possessed the "Hermit" Unique, but the current "City of Calamity" is even less capable; it hasn't even obtained the "Red Priest" Unique on Medici, and is still the "Hanging Gardens."

Such a "City of Calamity" cannot even exert the power of a True God, and Medici could resolve it if given enough time.

"Explode!" Chumen reached out and pressed down, borrowing the power of the "Door" Authority from his main body, intending to further shatter this space.

"Kill!"

In a trance, Chumen actually heard the shouts of an army; the skulls on that bone tower flew up one by one, lining up to charge as if they were an army.

These skulls all carried some kind of calamity—disease, frost, black flames, and more.

These terrifying skulls collided with Chumen, turning into information streams with a hiss about ten steps away from him, and were assimilated.

But these skulls were not the key; the key was the aura they carried—a power that the informatization ability could not assimilate, with an extremely high level!

"City of Calamity"!

Perhaps due to preconception, what Chumen saw was an ancient city built of pitch-black stone; boundless disasters surged outward from its walls, causing the earth to collapse and smoke of war to rise everywhere.

An ominous aura radiated from the city, specifically manifesting as dark, gloomy gas filled with plagues and blood-colored magma flowing across the earth.

Vaguely, Chumen could see a rusted banner stuck in the center of the city, emitting the aura of doomsday calamities.

In terms of the level of Source Quality, the feminine and masculine aspects of the Creator have already completed their fusion, leaving only extreme symbols like Destruction and Collapse.

Hum!

A certain hidden Corruption was transmitted to Chumen along with his line of sight; at this moment, the information constituting his body seemed to be undergoing some kind of mysterious change.

The symbols representing information underwent a fundamental mutation, twisting into symbols of natural disasters and war, and began to attack Chumen.

Chumen's body exploded directly, reverting to a state of information light, but even so, that Corruption clung to him like a shadow, attempting to corrupt the information streams as well.

"Dream Sea."

It was as if an illusory ocean of starlight had descended, directly washing away all the Iron and Blood and dark auras, allowing Chumen to recover.

The matter constituting the "Hidden Sage" contained a large amount of Dream Phosphor; this "Hermit" Unique had long been marinated in Dream Phosphor, so even the "Knowledge Wilderness" would find it difficult to take it back.

"Watch me!" Medici seized the opportunity, a light of Iron and Blood flashing in his eyes; a terrifying power erupted from his body, exploding violently as the Iron and Blood War Sword fell.

Hiss!

With a soft, strange sound, a small hole was torn in this world; it was the "weakness" of the entire world, broken open by Medici.

He knew what Chumen wanted to do, so he cooperated, creating an excellent opportunity for Chumen.

And Chumen almost ignored the Corruption of the "City of Calamity," causing the City of Calamity's most powerful attack to fall into empty space.

Hiss!

Chumen pressed his hands against the space, slowly tearing it open to both sides.

The aura of the "City of Calamity" eroded Chumen's body made of information streams, but this was completely ineffective.

If Medici had come to take on these auras, that Corruption would surely have been much deeper.

Medici swung his sword again, the power of "Slaughter" acting upon the space, helping Chumen to completely tear this space apart.

Chumen looked once more at the source of the "City of Calamity" aura and saw the fluttering banner.

Chumen waved in greeting, then gave a heavy push.

Clang.

The sound of a door closing rang out; Chumen and Medici appeared in the room, and that illusory world had completely shattered.

"Thanks!" Medici said quickly, his body disappearing instantly to deal with the effects caused by the leakage of the Source Quality aura.

Chumen paced in the room, and before long, Medici hurried back.

"Let's talk."

Chumen sat in the main seat, looking at Medici as if he were the host.

Medici probably knew that thing was truly not to be trifled with, and for once, he did not open his mouth to mock or Provoke.

"It came looking for me," Medici said, rubbing his chin. "At first, it was just some kind of strange intuition; I felt like something was staring at me."

"So I set a trap."

Chumen, who was preparing to pour himself a cup of sweet tea, paused and looked at Medici. "You really are something!"

Setting traps was probably Medici's instinct, but this time the Prey was too fierce, almost eating the Hunter himself.

And in a sense, this "City of Calamity" was the final form of the "Hunter," so wasn't this trap also set for Medici by the "City of Calamity"?

"Then what do you plan to do?" Chumen looked at the Banner Mark on Medici's forehead that had not yet faded.

"I don't need your help," Medici curled his lips, refusing any assistance from Chumen.

"My struggle with It, my war with It, has only just begun!" Medici was high in fighting spirit and did not intend to wash away the Banner Mark on his forehead.

"When I become a 'Red Priest,' I will use this mark to make contact with the 'City of Calamity' until I completely control It!"

After becoming a god, if one wants to go a step further and become an Oldest One, this step is also indispensable.

"Heh, those True Gods haven't even touched the edge of a Source Quality yet, but I've taken the lead now," Medici subconsciously mocked.

This wasn't entirely wrong; looking at the results alone, the only True God who might have made contact with a Source Quality was the "God of Death," Salinger.

Besides that, even Amanises was plotting to contact the "River of Eternal Darkness," and now Medici already possessed a weak connection to a Source Quality.

"You have almost no chance of success," Chumen said directly, without any tact.

"You!" Medici glared at Chumen; how dare he look down on him?

"I'm just telling the truth," Chumen shook his head. "You underestimate the Source Quality too much; It can almost be equated to the 'Oldest One' Itself. Even if you become a god, it will be extremely difficult."

Furthermore, you might not be able to become a True God.
