Chapter 737: Turning Into a Fraud
"What is this?" A group of ancient gods, having been summoned, gathered around the statue to examine it. Delosa took it in hand first, then passed it along one by one to those behind him.
Seeing that Delosa could not identify it, Lord Nai Ge was not anxious; he gestured for him to come closer: "Seeing Ange asks you, how is the restoration of the Blood Pool Demon Palace's formation progressing?"
Seeing Ange asked? Delosa's heart tightened; he instinctively looked at Seeing Ange and indeed found him tilting his head, staring at him with curiosity.
Delosa immediately snapped to attention. Rare indeed! Seeing Ange was personally asking, proving how much the boss valued his work. What an honor.
After thinking for a moment, Delosa said: "The foundation has been repaired. Following Lord Nai Ge's instructions, we removed some useless components, leaving only the core of the formation. Since the materials used for the entire Demon Palace are mostly from the Chaos Plane, the structural integrity is higher, capable of withstanding greater power."
Lord Nai Ge asked again: "In other words, the Faith Storm can be unleashed?"
Delosa said: "It can be unleashed at any time. However, the Star Explosion Formation does not release a Faith Storm, but a Belief Shockwave Beam. Its greatest difficulty has never been the basic structure, but the Faith Primordial Energy. With sufficient Faith Primordial Energy, it can be fired at any time."
Anthony, who had been watching others study the statue, suddenly turned his head and asked: "When we were in the Prime Plane, before the Faith Storm descended, we once manifested a human figure. After it was blocked by Your Majesty's body by the witch, it exploded into the Faith Storm. Does the Belief Shockwave Beam you mentioned refer to that human figure?"
Delosa pondered: "I did not operate the Belief Shockwave Beam fired in the Star Explosion Plane, so I do not know what was manifested. But theoretically, as long as the Faith Primordial Energy contains the same collective belief, it is possible to manifest a concrete image."
Anthony asked: "In other words, as long as it is the power contributed together by Light believers, it is highly likely to manifest the image of the God of Light?"
Delosa said: "That depends on whether the believers' faith is pure. It is also possible to manifest a glittering God of Wealth."
Lord Nai Ge slapped his waist: "No wonder, no wonder the Gods of Light are all glittering with golden light. The thoughts of those believers must be impure."
They were indeed impure. Xia Mala had said back then that the Holy Light of the Church of Light was not pure, mixed with too much desire; among it, there must surely be the light of wealth.
However, the Star Explosion Formation can use any belief. At that time, we will mobilize a batch of less pure believers to charge it.
Just then, the Star Fire Goddess suddenly said: "I remember what this is. This is a 'Spirit'."
"Spirit? What kind of spirit? A vengeful spirit, a fierce spirit, a heroic spirit?" Lord Nai Ge asked.
The Star Fire Goddess said: "You were just talking about collective belief, about purity or impurity. This is the 'Spirit' that the Abyss swallowed but could not digest. It is the smallest, purest fraction within collective belief. The Abyss can digest the hardest metals, rocks, divine trees, and creatures, but it cannot digest the purest collective belief."
"These things will eventually be spat out when it inhales and exhales. I saw it spit one out a very, very long time ago. If you hadn't mentioned collective belief, I wouldn't have remembered."
After hearing the Star Fire Goddess's words, everyone looked at each other in silence: "Then what use is this thing?"
"What use? It probably has no use at all. Something even the Abyss cannot digest, how can you use it? According to human understanding, would this count as a stone?" The Star Fire Goddess said with a distressed expression.
A stone? Lord Nai Ge said irritably: "Your stones can even form statues? Such an exquisite statue; go ahead, try forming one yourself."
"Manifestation, manifestation. The most indigestible beliefs will eventually manifest a physical form. The Abyss's great mouth has several more of these; they are useless too, probably all thrown away," the Star Fire Goddess said.
"Kwabada, so the Great Mouth uses things it was originally going to throw away to exchange for our Spirit Beans? Shameless Great Mouth," Lord Nai Ge raged.
It had originally hoped it would be something good, preferably something suitable for it. Who would have thought it was trash? It was too disappointing.
Just as it was about to throw it away, Seeing Ange extended a mental tendril, sticking the sculpture back in place.
"What? Do you know its function?" Lord Nai Ge asked.
Seeing Ange said: "Comparison." As he spoke, he summoned the Holy Light, bathing the sculpture in it.
No change was visible for a while. Lord Nai Ge gave up on that and turned to summon Silver Coin and Anthony: "You can continue now. Didn't you say you'd see who could save more lost lambs? Begin."
They had originally planned to trick more ancient gods into joining, but were interrupted. Now that they are finally done, they can resume.
Anthony and Silver Coin exchanged a glance and said with a mix of helplessness and amusement: "No need. We found that the folks here have already been tricked enough. Look at that pile, tricked by Luther. Look at this pile, tricked by Lightning. Then that pile, tricked by Little Snake. And that pile, tricked by the Little Angel and Little Zombie."
"These few listen to Delosa, these few listen to Dimali, these few listen to the Little Demon, these few listen to the Star Fire Goddess, this pile listens to the Super Speed Snail, and a few just passed word saying they want to listen to Silver Coin because Silver Coin is too handsome; he even scolded the Great Mouth into silence. They say they want to be merchants too."
Lord Nai Ge was left speechless. Was it settled already?
Anthony nodded: "It's settled. There are still a small number of individualists, but it doesn't matter. So-called individualists just lack their own opinions; whatever everyone else does, they will follow."
Just then, a strong light suddenly flashed from Seeing Ange's direction. Turning to look, the source of the intense light was none other than the statue in Seeing Ange's hand. After being infused with powerful Holy Light, the statue began to glow.
"What's happening? What occurred? Did you really discover its use?" Lord Nai Ge asked excitedly.
Seeing Ange nodded, then took out the Brass Book. However, he did not open the pages; instead, he gently placed the statue onto the cover.
The statue, radiating intense light, slowly sank into the cover. After sinking in completely, a relief sculpture rose on the cover.
"Given to me? Really given to me? Haha, how do I use it? How do I use it?" Lord Nai Ge rubbed his little hands and asked excitedly.
Seeing Ange said: "Unyielding Belief. Say it every day, store it up, release it all together."
Seeing Ange's words were too difficult to understand. Lord Nai Ge had to ask several times before grasping his meaning, then drew a sharp breath: "Are you saying that as long as I say the same belief to it every day, I can store it up and release it all at once when needed?"
Seeing Ange nodded.
"Oh my, then you really become a Fire-Starting Divine Mouth?" Anthony immediately thought of how this ability could be applied.
Lord Nai Ge's eyes lit up: "Right! If I just say 'You are a fraud, you are a fraud' to it every day, and once I've stored enough, I say it to you, can't I turn you into a stick?"
Anthony smiled, a dangerous glint flashing deep in his eyes.
Sensing the danger, Lord Nai Ge quickly chuckled awkwardly: "Just kidding, just kidding. I'll go try it on Lightning."
He kept silently chanting in his mind: Shut up! Shut up! Shut up!
It worked indeed. Lord Nai Ge felt his belief becoming firmer and firmer, firmer and firmer. Then, unable to wait, he rushed before Lightning, pointed with his little claw, and shouted: "Shut up!"
Zzz~ A wisp of smoke rose from Lightning's body, while two wisps of smoke rose from Lord Nai Ge's body.
