Chapter 1107: The Grand Fusion of Truth Between the Doctor and Zainjir

The Grand Fusion of Truth Between the Doctor and Zainjir

To consume its flesh and blood, to commune with its Truth — this is one of the methods of the Life Extension Department.

The Wei Zhi of old used precisely this method to devour the corpse of the Great Scholar, thereby making contact with the reclusive Council of Erudite Chairmen.

And now, Wang Wang Weijin's actions differed not at all from Wei Zhi's back then.

In truth, the moment he saw Wei Zhi appear in this group, he understood that Cheng Shi had already seen through his intentions. Even if the other party had yet to confirm whether his own identity was compromised, defensive measures had long since been put in place.

Anyone who knew Wei Zhi understood that this president of the Reason-Substance Association was most adept at "devouring" people. Having him accompany this meeting with Zainjir was undoubtedly a probe aimed at himself.

Yet even though Wang Wang Weijin saw through this completely, he did not call it out; instead, he feigned indifference and followed in Cheng Shi's footsteps all the way here.

Thus, this was a performance in which all three knew the score yet tacitly played dumb — each knew what the other two were doing, but none made a sound.

Everyone was waiting for an opening.

But Cheng Shi held the home ground, with Afloros at his side, so naturally he was utterly composed. Galiusha considered it none of her business; being able to use the chance to draw close to Mr. Hukou was already a gain, so her calm was understandable. But Wang Wang Weijin had entered the game in person, his situation akin to a wolf walking into a tiger's den — what gave him the courage to pull this stunt under the gaze of all three?

Naturally, because he too had his own confidence!

Resonance of Faith!

The Consciousness Faith Department had already experimentally proven the entanglement of sliced consciousness, and Wang Wang Weijin himself, as the gestating "mother body" of 0221, a 【Truth】 believer who had schemed against his own slice, naturally knew every experiment of every Department like the back of his hand.

So long as the slice before him obtained the knowledge in Zainjir's brain, the countless slices he had long prepared within the experimental grounds would simultaneously unleash a cerebral storm, seeking to transmit this "Truth" back through redundant entanglement.

Thus, he could obtain what he desired at the cost of merely one slice.

And once he obtained Zainjir's experience and learning, with Wang Wang Weijin's methods, he could well emulate Zainjir — entering the game in person to perfectly replicate that experiment, forging his very own Starfall Dagger!

Even if the experiment went poorly, it could still propel him toward the body of a False God!

This, then, was Wang Wang Weijin's entire plan, and the reason he had endured in silence, determined to get close to Zainjir.

Of course, since Cheng Shi was already on guard, that meant everything he currently saw might not be true. He had to guard against this 【Fraud】 believer joining hands with Afloros to set a trap for him — staging a fake Zainjir to draw out his flaw.

So when he had just approached Zainjir, he was not only observing the experiment but also discerning the genuine from the false.

Fortunately, having dealt with Zainjir for so long, he recognized the other's true self, confirming that the experiment before him was not fake — not only not fake, it had even achieved a new breakthrough on the path of Faith Fusion.

How could this not drive Wang Wang Weijin into a frenzy of joy?

So long as he devoured Zainjir — no, he didn't even need to eat the whole thing, even a few bites could let him glimpse a broad highway leading to 【Truth】. And if he could also uncover the secret of Faith Fusion, then with sixteen faiths bestowed upon a single body in the future, he would become the greatest 【Truth】 believer in history — perhaps even the next 【Truth】 itself!

A 【Truth】 far greater than the current one!

It was for this reason that when Galiusha playfully uttered those words, Wang Wang Weijin felt the moment of reckoning had arrived. He made a snap decision, striking decisively: scattering countless props from his body, raising a high wall of 【Truth】 in an attempt to stall the enemy for a moment, while simultaneously tearing off Zainjir's head and gnawing at it in great bites.

This scene was utterly mad — mad to the point of being downright eerie.

Yes, for Wang Wang Weijin, his decision was entirely sound, and the plan was proceeding smoothly, but the scene before one's eyes was simply too bizarre to an outsider.

How to put it — watching a madman wearing a jester's skin frantically gnawing at Zainjir's face, those in the know could understand he was seizing the other's Truth, but the uninformed, upon first glance, would surely think the Doctor was smooching Zainjir?

Cheng Shi very much wanted to say, "Smooching is forbidden on these premises!", but he had been "silenced."

The instant Wang Wang Weijin made his move, the other three present all moved at once.

Galiusha retreated at top speed, putting distance between herself and the scene of trouble, decisively choosing to watch the show — especially since she was the one who had called for this act to begin, and she felt the story within the play seemed all the more interesting.

Cheng Shi's pupils contracted, and he snapped his fingers directly.

However, this snap of his was not for himself.

He was currently a Cleric-Jester of 【Fraud】, lacking effective means in direct confrontation. Usually, in such matters, he would switch back to 【Fate】 and leave it to Today's Hero to handle. But now, he needed no such switching of faiths.

With a single snap to draw everyone's attention, his shadow instantly donned an assassin's mask, becoming a fusion of Another-Day Assassin and Life-Stealing Thief. Through the shadow, it swapped positions into the Doctor's shadow, silently evading every gaze, then straightened up and stabbed a blade into the Doctor's waist and abdomen.

At the same time, Afloros also moved.

Goris, who had never shown herself today, directly tore off the roof of the Tribunal's hall and appeared in everyone's sight. Countless pitch-black, viscous tentacles shot down like a torrential downpour, binding Cheng Shi and Galiusha — yes, these two — up tightly.

"???"

Tentacles poured forth from every direction, sparing only the frantically gnawing Wang Wang Weijin.

This scene, exceeding everyone's expectations, made the three players instantly widen their eyes.

Wang Wang Weijin sensed a trap at the first instant, yet the "Truth" in his belly told him Zainjir was fine. Unable to fathom Afloros's intent for the moment, he could only eat and watch at the same time, striving to buy time to complete his set plan.

Galiusha had not expected Afloros to make a move against Cheng Shi and herself, but being clever, she quickly guessed this must be a conspiracy — the poor 【Truth】 believer had fallen into the trap.

Heh, this foolish 【Truth】.

As for Cheng Shi, his heart gave a sudden lurch.

Of course he was not afraid Afloros would betray this "friendship," and he had guessed that Afloros had set a trap for the Doctor, but what he could not guess was what kind of trap Afloros had actually laid.

He feared the other had once again, behind his back, pulled off some unforeseeable wild stunt — such as bringing to that experimental town some bizarre new god of the Fool's Play, twisted beyond recognition, towering above the sun and moon.

"......"

What on earth does He intend to do?

Afloros sensed Cheng Shi's confusion and smiled at him happily:

"No need to be nervous, my brother.

I said it before — this 【Truth】 believer's coveting of Zainjir may not be a bad thing.

As for how good......

You'll know soon enough."

Hearing this, Cheng Shi grew even more panicked.
