Chapter 530: Bizarre Transformation! The True Identity of the Bull‑Headed Being?!
The deep sea hides countless perilous dangers within.
Through the glass in the passage, one can clearly see many massive creatures.
In most people's understanding, clownfish generally do not exceed the size of a palm.
Su Yang thought the same.
But when he was halfway there, he saw a gigantic clownfish unexpectedly swallow a jar in one bite.
After tasting it, it spat it out and left quickly.
The size of the shell sea snail also exceeds the ordinary.
A shell creature the size of a house opened and closed, inhaling and exhaling bubbles, delivering a tremendous visual impact to everyone.
"Do you think… there could be a hundred‑meter‑long blue‑fin tuna here?" Lin Yang asked, swallowing.
"Even if there is, do you have the strength to reel it in?" Qin Weiyang glanced sideways.
"It might not be possible now, but perhaps in the future," Lin Yang was already imagining the taste of sashimi in his mind.
With such a massive size, it's uncertain whether the flesh would be tender.
In the vast, boundless seabed world, many seemed to suffer from deep‑sea phobia; seeing countless massive beings sweep past, their hearts tightened involuntarily.
Before nature, they were like a speck of insignificant dust.
The confidence accumulated from prior evolution vanished completely at this moment.
At this moment, they found the bull‑headed beings much more pleasing to look at.
How could the deterrence of a three‑meter‑tall Niu Niu compare to a hundred‑meter‑sized deep‑sea leviathan?
At that moment, Lin Yang's gaze caught an anomaly.
"Huh?"
"What's wrong?" Qin Weiyang looked over, their eyes suddenly narrowing.
She opened her mouth wide, dumbfounded, and said, "Look quickly!"
In the direction trembling hands pointed, a jar was smashed by a rapidly swimming seabed behemoth, its yellow‑green liquid mixing with seawater.
The corpse it carried floated on the seabed; the terrifying water pressure did not flatten it.
Su Yang stared, his pupils slightly contracting.
He saw the corpse expand at a visible speed, and in the blink of an eye it turned into a cod.
Yet that wasn't the end; the cod suddenly opened its eyes and, under the people's gaze, began to swim freely!
Its gills inhaled and exhaled, its size continuously swelling, turning from two meters to ten meters in an instant!
And its growth continued!
"Resurrection?!" Jiang Chengyu furrowed his brows.
"Death and rebirth, the seawater here is strange!" Xi Jun said in a deep voice.
"But why…" Ximen Zhirou was alarmed, "Could he turn from a human into a fish?"
The resurrection of dead people no longer seemed novel to them.
After all, they had seen it before.
But the species transformation was still a first!
"Touch water and change—could it be…" Su Yang suddenly entertained a ridiculous thought.
Beside him, Yin Yun met his gaze, and the two said in unison, "All the fish in the sea are transformed dead people?!"
What?!
Everyone abruptly halted, their hearts trembling uncontrollably.
Yan Ke's calm exterior could hardly hide his astonishment, "If that were true, the over nine‑billion dead people…"
"No!"
Su Yang shook his head, turned his gaze to the bull‑headed guide at the front, and said, "Only the Failure of the Second Stage becomes fish; I guess the dead of the First Stage all turned into bull‑headed beings!"
Ha!
Lin Yang stared intently at the bull‑headed one's silhouette, whispering, "You mean… this creature was turned by a player?"
At that moment, Qin Weiyang suddenly thought of something and said, "It's not impossible; think, when we first entered the prison there was no Administrator!"
After gaining an Innate Talent from the mysterious space, they were 'kidnapped' into the prison.
Initially, people were extremely fearful and unfamiliar with the strange environment.
Soon, within less than an hour, they were transported into the First Death Game.
And the rule of nighttime silence was issued right after the First Death Game ended.
Bull‑headed beings… that is, the so‑called Administrator, also appeared at this time point.
"So then… the bull‑headed being is actually the fate of a Failure?" Yan Ke asked.
Su Yang suddenly looked at Huang Hua, "A Failure doesn't necessarily Shapeshift; there must be some unknown mechanism hidden here!"
First, they didn't know whether Shapeshift was reversible.
If Huang Hua had already become a bull‑headed being, then after Yin Yun made a Wish, the Administrator would likely pull out not a jar but a cow at first glance.
Moreover, Tang Hui's Resurrection was rather odd.
That stage had no Wish Granting Session at all.
Thus his appearance was essentially an accident.
"Could it be…" Su Yang's breath caught, he said in a deep voice, "Is Tang Hui's Resurrection actually the result of a failed metamorphosis?"
"What does that mean?" Qin Weiyang asked, puzzled.
"Consider that his appearance occurred right after the fifth Death Game ended; that time point is also when we achieved Clearance of the Second Stage Prison's initial game."
"Similarly… it also appeared during the Execution phase; could it be that this period specifically required a bull‑headed being?" Su Yang said.
"That's not right," Lin Yang furrowed his Brow, "at the ending voting segment of the fifth Death Game, the judge was a bull."
"The initial prison and the Second Stage's bull-headed beings look the same; their size and strength seem to have little difference."
"If so, why would a new bull-headed being be needed?"
With those words spoken, Su Yang suddenly fell into silence.
Indeed, if one proceeds from this logic, it is contradictory.
"It's too complicated; if I keep thinking, my Brain will explode," Luo Shuangshuang placed a hand on his forehead and sighed lightly.
"Believer!" Su Yang suddenly spoke.
He had a flash of insight in his Brain, "The bull-headed being responsible for the Wish Granting Session is exceptionally huge; if it is a Dependents of Divinity, the chief Administrator of the entire st Prison, then the others tasked with executing orders are its subordinates!"
"From this perspective, Execution is a punishment for the players; thinking from another angle, perhaps this is how Divinity harvests Faith!"
"Dead Person transforms into a bull-headed being, then becomes a Believer of Divinity, handling its affairs."
"And Tang Hui's appearance is the failed product of accepting Believers!"
Lin Yang's heart jolted at the words, "So these fish…"
Su Yang gave a slight nod, "They change into different types of creatures due to environmental changes."
"But though the paths differ, the outcome is the same; executing Execution is them, and becoming Believers is also them!"
Jiang Chengyu's eyes widened sharply, "Our failed punishment is actually a reward for Divinity?!"
While formulating all sorts of cruel rules, they also grant rewards to the victors.
Exhausting every means to force players to kill others for more points.
But in reality, the rewards players obtain are trivial before Divinity.
"Clash has been ongoing since the start; it's not only a duel between us and the players, but also… Divinity!" Su Yang said slowly.
"Then the Ascend God plan…" Jiang Chengyu's heart trembled greatly.
"Exactly!"
Su Yang slightly lifted his eyelids, and in a serious tone said, "Essentially it's a scam!"
