Chapter 809: Chapter 594: God’s Corpse
"Bullying the weak is enough for a child, why get involved in this?" Tanshia Filo would not have done this if Zheng Yichen were a bit older, but she wasn’t.
Landen City.
Upon seeing the waiting Luminous Holy Maiden Nelliwey, Zheng Yichen parked and stopped the car. The Holy Maiden quickly approached him, looking at the thing Zheng Yichen had dragged back with some disbelief, "You... how did you come across this thing?"
"I just encountered it on the way back. What is this?"
Nelliwey didn’t beat around the bush but simply said with disbelief, "This is a God’s Corpse, I’ve only heard of it from the True God, never seen it myself."
Zheng Yichen looked at the severed arm wrapped by the white ball and asked, "So, what’s special about this thing? I don’t feel it’s that strong?"
"Uh..." Nelliwey was at a loss for words for a moment. She looked at Zheng Yichen somewhat oddly, "Is it possible that you’re too strong? A God’s Corpse is filled with the most malicious curse in the world, something even a True God wouldn’t want to touch. And that kind of curse would burst forth when the God’s Corpse is destroyed, which is why the True God’s method of dealing with a God’s Corpse is exile."
If Nelliwey had known that Zheng Yichen had brought back such a thing, she wouldn’t have come alone. However, seeing the covering on the severed arm’s surface preventing it from further eroding reality, she simply started to explain the so-called ’God’s Corpse’ to Zheng Yichen.
True Gods can die, some deaths are complete annihilation, while others turn into entities like ’Divine Calamities’. That was, after all, a True God. After death, it’s not surprising if something derived from their corpses could slaughtering Demigods.
God’s Corpses will erode the environment, so methods like sealing are not effective. Their pure hatred and loathing for everything in the world make the God’s Corpses nearly impossible to annihilate, yet also grant them immunity to various attacks.
Disassembling a God’s Corpse isn’t very beneficial either. After dissection, the God’s Corpse, before long, will revert to its state at the time of death. The remnants that come off of the God’s Corpse will not disappear and will still erode the real environment while emanating a malevolent will that loathes everything in the world.
Therefore, attempting to gradually destroy a God’s Corpse through dissection only continues to increase the mass of the God’s Corpse. Destroying part of the God’s Corpse will also unleash that vicious curse.
Seeing that Zheng Yichen’s expression was a bit off, Nelliwey couldn’t help but ask, "...you haven’t done anything dangerous, have you?"
She was quite curious about how Zheng Yichen managed to chop off the arm of the God’s Corpse. The kind of immunity the God’s Corpse possessed was too extensive; even many Demigods’ attacks may not have been effective, especially when faced with an attack type to which the God’s Corpse was particularly immune, rendering them completely ineffective.
This kind of complete immunity generally related to the attributes of the God’s Corpse before its death.
Nelliwey was curious about this, but what concerned her more was whether Zheng Yichen had carelessly discarded any other relevant parts after chopping off the arm.
"No, I just fed a piece of this thing’s flesh to my pet."
Zheng Yichen reached out and patted the cat spirit cloak, pulling out the cat spirit from inside. The black Curse Cat Spirit appeared listless and drained at the moment.
Seeing the abnormal pet that Zheng Yichen pulled out, Nelliwey was momentarily speechless, "How could you dare?"
If she hadn’t known Zheng Yichen’s character, the young man in front of her would’ve been too easy to misunderstand. Could a normal person keep a cat spirit with such intense cursed energy? Even if the creature had no intent to harm, the passive curse energy alone could kill an ordinary person countless times over.
"The child wanted to eat it."
Nelliwey wanted to roll her eyes at Zheng Yichen. She took a glance at the wilted cat spirit and found it to be a rather peculiar life-form. Would a normal spiritual body dare to gnaw on God’s Corpse flesh? Not to mention gnawing on it, even being close could cause issues.
But this cat spirit only seemed listless.
"It seems like it’s bearing the influence of the God’s Corpse flesh... could this actually be a good way to destroy the God’s Corpse?"
"I think it’s a bit difficult." Zheng Yichen pinched the cat spirit’s head, which was soft and pliable. The cat spirit was a special kind of spiritual life-form. Its state of life was connected to the cat spirit cloak Zheng Yichen wore; if the cloak was damaged and the cat spirit didn’t die, the cloak could be restored.
If the cat spirit perished and the cloak remained, the cat spirit could be recuperated.
Strengthened by Zheng Yichen in a series of enhancements, the cloak had long since lost its original strength. The Apocalypse Stone, God Simulation Engine materials, and energy crystals had all made the cat spirit cloak something extraordinary.
Just eating a small piece of God’s Corpse flesh had left the cat spirit wilted. If it consumed more, the cat spirit would likely explode on the spot, waiting for the cat spirit cloak’s cooldown to reset.
"Well, this isn’t so bad, at least it doesn’t seem to be affected by the God’s Corpse curse." Nelliwey sighed, realizing she was thinking too much.
She turned towards the arm wrapped by the white ball and said to Zheng Yichen, "Wait a moment."
Nelliwey walked toward the army and spellcasters rushing over.
The army’s leader came up to inquire, "Luminous Holy Maiden Nelliwey, do you require our services for anything?"
"I can handle the matter here."
"Then let us know if you have any other needs." The leader, not overly curious about the events happening here, immediately took his men and left the area. Not long after, another Luminous Holy Maiden arrived.
Alphis Luminous.
When she arrived, the severed arm wrapped in white ball was already showing signs of mild decay, which surprised Alphis, a Luminous Holy Maiden adept in purification. She would normally purify with her strength, and when she couldn’t purify normally, she’d resort to physical purification.
A part of God’s Corpse was a task too challenging for most, yet she still chose to come.
"I feel like I didn’t need to come after all," Alphis said, observing the state of the severed arm.
She couldn’t identify the resilient, semi-transparent white membrane covering the surface of the arm, but it clearly had a special impact on the God’s Corpse’s severed limb, causing it to become ’ordinary’ and thus start to decay.
After all, this thing had been a corpse for a very long time.
"Alphis, sister, now is not a good time for jokes."
Holy Maiden Nelliwey reminded her. She couldn’t be sure if the severed limb was naturally decaying or being ’eliminated.’ If it was the former, that would be good news, as once the limb completely decayed, it might cease to be a problem. If it was the latter, then when the limb was eliminated, the malicious curse from God’s Corpse would erupt.
That was a curse of pure malice that hated everything in the world, one even True Gods could not be immune to.
"Let’s move this thing somewhere else for now," Alphis suggested. "At the moment, it appears to be decaying naturally, but we must wait to see the outcome. What I can do is to prevent the spread and outbreak of the God’s Corpse curse as much as possible if the worst-case scenario were to happen."
She wasn’t sure if she could completely stop it, but she wasn’t about to give up.
"I’ll take it with me; you guys keep an eye on the child," Zheng Yichen said, grabbing Tanshia Firlo, who had been crying in the internal space and was now dozing off after failing to escape. As Tanshia looked confused, he slipped an Apocalypse Stone Ring onto her thumb.
Under Tanshia’s even more puzzled gaze, Zheng Yichen placed her in Alphis’s arms, choosing her instead of Nelliwey because Alphis, the Luminous Holy Maiden, had a broader chest filled with a maternal aura that the child would likely prefer.
Resting her head against Alphis’s bosom, Tanshia Firlo looked questioningly at the ring on her finger. She didn’t have many possessions on her.
The clothes she wore were given to her by the Green Dragon Garel. They were magical gear that could hide when she transformed into her dragon form and reappear when she resumed her human form, also adapting in size to her changes.
Besides that was her Life treasure, a fist-sized sphere attached to a string that hung around her neck, and now, an unappealing ring added to her collection.
"What are you going to do?" Tanshia Firlo asked, her curiosity overriding any complaints about being trapped in the internal space by Zheng Yichen.
The soft feel at the back of her head made her want to snuggle more.
"Going to do something big. Wait for my return!" Zheng Yichen smiled at Tanshia, then turned to Nelliwey, who seemed hesitant to speak: "I brought this thing back, so I should take responsibility for dealing with it. You guys just wait."
After saying this, he left. There were several ways to handle the God’s Corpse’s severed limb. The simplest and fastest was to open the Gate of Hell and throw it in, or maybe even into the Chaos Furnace?
Uh, better not. If that were truly effective, the True Gods in this world would have done it long ago.
There was another method that was neither easy nor difficult but a bit tricky to implement.
Take the thing to the Dusk Cathedral and let the Dusk nun, who served as a background figure, handle it, even if it meant spending some merit points.
Just the thought of spending his points on such a worthless item bothered Zheng Yichen, and it was doubtful if the conditions in Landen City would even allow him to bring it in; ordinary people might not notice, but wouldn’t the divine laws maintaining the city detect it?
So, he’d better take it somewhere further away, where, if something went wrong, he could still bear the brunt of what was called the world’s most malicious curse on his way to Dusk.
"Waah—" Watching Zheng Yichen leave decisively, Tanshia Firlo suddenly found the soft embrace uncomfortable and cried out, wanting to break free from Alphis’s arms, only to be gently pushed back by Alphis.
"Don’t worry, he’ll be back soon—"
Tanshia Firlo was completely immune to Alphis’s motherly comfort!
Alphis showed a touch of helplessness: "We can’t catch up to him now."
"Liar!"
Alphis changed her approach: "Bad children can make people angry. I won’t get angry, but will he? I’m actually quite curious to see what he looks like when he’s angry..."
"Ah?" Tanshia Firlo paused for a moment, recalling the scene she had witnessed not long ago in Cardanas, where Klakauska was being hung up and whipped.
The white dragon swallowed nervously: "I’m, I’m worried something will happen to him. I need to go!"
If it meant being hung up and beaten, so be it.
