Chapter 298: More Absurd Than Absurd

More Absurd Than Absurd...

Erpuska was very resistant to beating, far more resistant than Cheng Shi and Hong Lin imagined. After receiving a blow from Hong Lin, it quickly climbed up from the ground again.

But at this time, the giant bear didn't dare to make a move.

Because both players had figured out one thing: if the existence protecting the Fungus-Foot people was really this Erpuska, not to mention whether the giant bear could solve the shell of this messenger, just assuming Hong Lin killed it, then the Fungus-Foot people who lost protection would immediately be exposed to the endless Sighing Sorrow Tide and become like their ancestors, with no way to live except to turn into 【Decay】 creations.

The trial would undoubtedly head toward failure.

But if this 【Wasteland Walker】 wasn't solved, then the Fungus-Foot tribe would probably continue to survive in this "blasphemous" posture. The spark would always just be a spark, and the faith would never have a day to be corrected.

Cheng Shi finally understood. Setting this chaotic faith right might be the answer to this trial, but the problem was, this seemed to be an unsolvable problem.

How can a spark that is about to extinguish ignite into a prairie fire?

Not to mention the spark, even the people He found to ignite the spark were not many left.

The players had different thoughts, and almost no one wanted to care about these poor Fungus-Foot people. In the end, only one loafer stood in Erpuska's flower garden, thinking with a deep frown about how to break the situation.

And just when he racked his brains and couldn't think of an answer, the giant bear spoke:

"Time is still early, no need to rush. Let's find the way back first, and then think of a way.

It's just a gain or loss in a game; relax and take it lightly."

Relax and take it lightly?

Cheng Shi smiled. He knew this was Hong Lin comforting him. In the past, he would have been satisfied with some gains in a trial regardless of whether it added points or not, but today, Cheng Shi's desire to win had come up.

He wanted to win, and he wanted to add points, and he wanted to add a lot of points!

But Hong Lin was right about one thing: there were still two days left in the trial, so there was really no need to be so anxious. He still had time to think slowly.

So Cheng Shi nodded, preparing to drag Hong Lin and Amir away first while Erpuska didn't launch the next round of offensive.

But just at this moment, the mutation happened again!

The giant bear roared on all fours and began to retreat slowly. However, in the process of retreating, she discovered that Erpuska's wounds were beginning to heal!

Of course, followers of 【Decay】 were not just decaying; they could always find a balance between decay and self-healing, which could both save their lives and offer to Him to the greatest extent.

However, Erpuska's wound healing wasn't the credit of 【Decay】, but a weak power of 【Prosperity】 helping it recover from its injuries.

Hong Lin only glanced at this weak pale green light, and the whole person—no, the whole bear—stood there stunned as if struck by a wild thunder.

Cheng Shi discovered her strangeness, his heart skipped a beat, and he asked with a solemn face: "What's wrong?"

The giant bear turned its head stiffly and said in disbelief:

"The power of 【Prosperity】, the power of 【Prosperity】 is flowing on its body!"

Huh?

Cheng Shi was stunned. How could there still be the power of 【Prosperity】 on a messenger shell that had completely embraced 【Decay】?

But before this question could be figured out, the next sentence that shocked him even more came.

"And this power is exactly the same as the 【Prosperity】 power on the Fungus-Foot people!

Weak and fresh!

The 【Prosperity】 power on the Fungus-Foot people is too little, far from reaching the level of sensing the difference, but Erpuska is different. The 【Prosperity】 on its body now, although of the same origin as the Fungus-Foot people, is...

Completely different from mine!"

!!!

???

Cheng Shi's brain "BOOM—" again, and it went white.

What is it?

The 【Prosperity】 power on the Fungus-Foot people is not the same 【Prosperity】 as the true 【Prosperity】!?

Could it be...

Cheng Shi swallowed a mouthful of saliva in extreme horror, and a bold, absurd, and crazy thought rose in his brain, which was:

Faith grafting... succeeded!

This is the benefit Erpuska wanted!

It intercepted the faith power of the Fungus-Foot people toward 【Prosperity】, and then through that contract, condensed these faith powers into a brand new 【Prosperity】 power on its body!

No wonder Abusfu said it was a brand new 【Prosperity】. Originally, Cheng Shi only thought this was a rhetoric, but he didn't expect that it was really pointing to something!

So, not only authority, but even faith can be stolen?

Then how did the Fungus-Foot patriarch Abusfu know this way of stealing faith?

Was the situation now caused by a mistake hundreds of years ago, or was it premeditated by Erpuska and Abusfu?

Did the Fungus-Foot people also throw themselves into 【Decay】 to retaliate against 【Prosperity】?

It doesn't look like it; their clansmen don't know that Erpuska is the god protecting them...

Wait, right, the box, the box of the Tower of Rationality!

Cheng Shi turned his head suddenly and immediately realized that there was another possibility for Abusfu to know this way of stealing faith, which was:

The experiment of the Tower of Rationality!

Perhaps these Fungus-Foot people were not exiled here by 【Prosperity】. A 【God】 doesn't need to exile His followers to a country of opposing faith. Perhaps these Fungus-Foot people were just captured by scholars of the Tower of Rationality and used to conduct a... experiment of stealing 【Prosperity】 faith?

Not bad. In this way, 【Prosperity】's "forgiveness" for these Fungus-Foot people can also be explained. He is not forgiving sinners, but pitying His own people.

So these Fungus-Foot people are very likely experimental subjects of scholars, but I don't know what happened, allowing these Fungus-Foot people to escape?

Or is this Sighing Forest originally an experimental field chosen by scholars?

Perhaps at this time, those scholars are hiding somewhere, observing everything happening here without moving!

Cheng Shi was frightened by this absurd thought of his own.

Crazy!

This group of crazy scholars even wants to steal the faith of 【Them】!

Do they really dare!?

Cheng Shi's eyes condensed, and he remembered the high and mighty Scholarly Chairman Society. For them, who crazily pursue 【Truth】, the answer to this question should be very simple, which is:

Dare!

Very dare!

What is there not to dare!?

After all, those Star Daggers are still simulating the sunrise and sunset in the depths of nothingness, after all, those Conjugate Whispers are also lush over Gasimara, and what's more, divinity germination experiments have already been trying to create new divinity. In this world, where else is there anything the Scholarly Chairman Society doesn't dare to do!

Under the protection of 【Truth】, this group of fanatical truth seekers is tirelessly grabbing everything of 【The Gods】!

Divinity, faith, and authority!

So, why does 【Truth】 want to protect His dependents to do these things?

What is He seeking, openly seizing the authority of other gods?

Or is He trying to become that true 【God】 in the mouth of 【Fraud】 in this way!?

Cheng Shi only felt a huge electric current raging throughout his body, and goosebumps rose all over his body.

He suddenly thought of another question, which was: what if a player intercepted this faith?

Would he, or she, who is possessed by the power of faith, become a god!?

If so...

Is it a replacement, or an addition?

Hong Lin probably also thought of this question. She suddenly realized that this might not be a simple confrontation between 【Prosperity】 and 【Decay】. In places they couldn't see, there seemed to be other existences staring at this place.

She suddenly became cautious, retreated carefully, retreated to Cheng Shi's front, and asked in a muffled voice:

"The 【Prosperity】 power on its body, although weak, has a pull on my 【Prosperity】 power, and is even trying to resonate with the 【Prosperity】 divinity sealed in my body...

I'm thinking, did that Puppet Master know something long ago, which is why she dropped this divinity..."

Very likely. The historian's memory might have relevant information about this suspected Tower of Rationality experiment, but the Puppet Master didn't know why she didn't share this with them.

Cheng Shi didn't know what the Puppet Master was thinking, but he could roughly guess the thoughts of a warrior: how could something that fell into my hands be sent out again, and sent to an enemy!

So a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth:

"Whatever it is, the things in my own hands definitely can't be thrown away. Can you still hold on? I might need more time to find some other clues."

The giant bear nodded: "Although the 【Decay】 here is eroding me all the time, it doesn't matter. Holding on for half a day is enough. As for you, the 【Prosperity】 in the Wilderness Lamp is not enough. Bring it over, and I'll add some for you."

Cheng Shi honestly raised the Wilderness Lamp, and then heard the giant bear say:

"Cast a Focus Spell; it can make me react faster."

His expression froze, and he stood still.
