Chapter 95: Steal
Father Kosite'er looked solemn and began to pray piously to the "Circle of Inevitability," pleading for the descent of the power of the "Circle of Inevitability."
This actually involved a clash between the corrupting powers of two Outer Gods and had nothing to do with the Beyonder themselves.
This planet was exposed to the Starry Sky and was accumulating the corruption of Outer Gods at every moment.
And in this "Inevitability" civilization, the "Circle of Inevitability" was undoubtedly dominant; the power of the "Mother Tree of Desire" could not yet suppress Him.
As such, the result was quite obvious.
"How very interesting..." Amon pushed up His monocle, watching the battle before Him, feeling eager to try.
The ultimate destination of the battle between the two Gifted was the collision of the powers of two great existences.
"Why don't you go and Steal that badge of the 'Circle of Inevitability'?" Chumen suddenly suggested.
Amon acted as if He had misheard something, then looked at Chumen with a smile, "Do you think I'm stupid?"
"Rest assured, Teacher will protect you!" Chumen seemed to truly want to see Amon go and Steal the power of an Outer God.
This time, Amon's little face crinkled; He loved adventures and seeking pleasure, but this seemed to exceed His capabilities a bit...
"Why don't you Steal it yourself?" Amon looked at Chumen vigilantly.
"I'm trying to protect you, aren't I!" Chumen coughed lightly, then looked at the giant tree body, "How about you Steal this? The power of 'Inevitability' is indeed a bit too strong."
"The best things to Steal are the knowledge related to those Outer Gods."
Chumen's words made Amon very tempted, and His hands reached toward the tree of desire repeatedly, but at the critical moment, He retreated.
"This seems to be the first time Teacher has asked me to Steal something from someone other than you! Interesting!" Amon quickly adjusted His state, glanced at Chumen, and a pile of Worms of Time gathered before Him.
The number of Amons increased.
"Why me?" The newly appeared Amon clone looked speechless.
"Could it be me?" The Amon main body blinked as if suffering from a split personality, fully demonstrating the bullying and coercion of His clone.
"..." The Amon clone did not bother arguing with the main body; he looked at the tree body whose vitality was gradually dissipating under the power of "Inevitability," revealing a look of keen interest.
Like the main body, He was fond of adventure and pursued pleasure.
He extended His right hand and launched a "Steal" at the withering tree body.
Chumen snapped his fingers, using the wish of a "Miracle Invoker" to appropriately amplify the probability of Amon's success.
The Amon clone's "Steal" went smoothly, and he stole some kind of information from the rampaging tree body, but he himself was quickly stained with a crimson color.
In this instant, the Amon clone inevitably began to lose control; his body grew to a massive size and began to transform into the tree body, his magic robe was torn apart, flesh and blood churned, and flowers and tentacles began to sprout.
But the clone's mutation was only the beginning; even in the monocle of the Amon main body, a layer of crimson seemed to be spreading!
Without the protection of the Barrier, the corruptive nature of the Outer Gods was even more exaggerated, capable of following some mystical connection from the clone to corrupt the main body.
Amon felt a rare sense of panic, because this "Steal" was His own proactive act, and the protection of the Creator on Him had triggered a step too late, failing to completely block the corruption!
Proactively Stealing the corruption of an Outer God would cause irreversible effects on His state!
"Tsk!" Chumen looked at the giant Amon clone and sighed immediately; the power of this corruption was truly bizarre!
He directly smashed the Dream Book onto the head of the Amon main body, and an intense Dream Phosphor erupted, directly expelling that wisp of crimson Outer God corruption from within Amon's body.
Chumen reached out and also launched a "Steal," grabbing the corruption from both Amons into his hand.
—After Amon's experiment, he could confirm that although this Outer God aura was bizarre, it could not cause him much corruption and fell within the tolerable range of the Dream Book.
A Dream tentacle suddenly appeared behind Chumen, and the Dream Bubble at its tip wrapped around that wisp of corruption.
A torrent of information surged from the Sage's Robe on Chumen's body, forcibly parsing the information contained in this wisp of corrupt aura with information-processing capabilities.
"'Miser', 'Sex Addict', 'Actor', 'Awardee'..."
Much information regarding the Desire Cultists appeared in Chumen's mind.
Thanks again to the Amon clone for his contribution!
Chumen parsed enough information from that wisp of corrupt aura, then sent this wisp of corruption back to the giant tree body that was in battle.
At the same time, the Amon main body had already woken up, feeling that His head was a bit dizzy.
"Too ugly!" Amon looked at His dead, mutated clone with slight disgust.
"Actually, I think it's not bad." Chumen stole the Worms of Time from the mutated clone, soaked them in the Dream Sea for disinfection, and then tossed them to Amon.
"You did very well this time; I specially approve for you to go out and play on your own." Chumen said to Amon.
After this lesson, Amon would likely be afraid to casually Steal corrupt auras related to Outer Gods in the future.
"And you, Bethel." Chumen looked at Bethel, who had been silent; he had truly just been watching, silently recording everything here.
"Your ritual can begin preparations; the ritual requires leaving legends in nine places outside the planet, but they don't all have to be in this world."
Chumen blinked at Bethel and continued, "There will be opportunities in the future!"
"Uh..." Bethel was stunned, "You mean..."
"There will be opportunities for all of you; we have about a few hundred years." After that, they would have to go back and face "God."
"Good! I will definitely not let Teacher down!" Bethel seemed to have misunderstood again; this really wasn't why he chose to look for more planets.
Of course, the ritual of leaving legends in nine places outside of Earth itself had some hidden conditions.
As long as one found a life-bearing planet, one could basically complete the ritual, but if one was not satisfied and searched for nine whole worlds to leave legends in each, the effect of the ritual should be the best.
It was just that such a time expenditure was too long; ordinary "Wanderers" truly dared not play like this, as the Starry Sky was too dangerous and one might die halfway.
"Hmm, but if you find any traces of Outer Gods, remember to tell me." Chumen remembered something and reminded them softly, watching Bethel and Amon leave one after another.
Both of them also had the protection of the Creator, and since he was still in this world, there was no need to worry too much.
As for Chumen, he was already prepared to stay in the Inevitability Church.
There must be the most complete records regarding the "Circle of Inevitability" there, and there, Chumen could see the "Gift" experienced by the so-called "Inevitable Attendant."
