Chapter 811: Chapter 595: Higher Probability of Being Struck by Lightning_2
It’s not a big deal if it’s not possible, Zheng Yichen wasn’t too concerned.
He placed the white ball back on the handlebars, waiting for the cat spirit to return to normal, and then there was the God’s Corpse...
"Wow wow—" Zheng Yichen heard Tanshia Firlo’s cries from a distance. After spotting his figure from afar, Tanshia Firlo tried to wriggle out of Alphis’s embrace, but although the strength of the young dragon wasn’t weak, it was not enough compared to that of a grown Luminous Holy Maiden.
The young white dragon, unable to escape, could only cry out loudly.
Alphis had a reason for not letting go of Tanshia Firlo; earlier, Nelliwey had sensed the presence of the Deathwalker. The distance between Zheng Yichen and Tanshia Firlo was not short, and there was a significant risk of an incident if she ran over by herself.
It wasn’t until Zheng Yichen had completely approached that Alphis finally released the still struggling young white dragon.
Tanshia Firlo, flying in the air, immediately clung to Zheng Yichen’s chest, howling about the unfair treatment she had endured here.
Zheng Yichen tossed her to the lady with the ample chest, who had been attempting to drown her with those two mounds of flesh...
"Uh?" Zheng Yichen tapped Tanshia Firlo’s head, "You can’t talk nonsense."
The child was still young, but precisely because she was young, she needed to be properly educated, and not allowed to do whatever she pleased just because she was little.
Under Tanshia Firlo’s forlorn gaze, Zheng Yichen smiled and said to Alphis and the others, "The issue has been resolved, and there shouldn’t be any lingering problems."
With that, he took out a God’s Corpse fragment, "This is what’s left after handling the matter."
"Leftover?" Alphis’s relaxed expression turned cautious. She examined the fragment in Zheng Yichen’s hand. From sensing the aura, the item seemed ordinary, but upon touching it, she felt a sharp pain.
This kind of fragment retained some of the God’s Corpse’s power to erode the fabric of reality. At the same time, this thing could also trigger malice, any malice would do, a pure malice trigger.
"This thing... it’s dangerous." With a grave expression, Alphis handed the object back to Zheng Yichen. The thing that caused her fingers to sting when touched seemed like an ordinary stone in Zheng Yichen’s hands.
Worried that Zheng Yichen might not take it seriously due to his apparent lack of reaction, Alphis added, "This still carries pure malice and can exacerbate any malice it comes into contact with."
"I understand," Zheng Yichen nodded and put away the item. This thing was a byproduct of what the white ball had regurgitated, akin to what the white ball couldn’t digest... a crystal, no, more like a stone.
Subsequently, under the bemused gaze of Alphis and Nelliwey, he continued, "About this God’s Corpse stuff, I’ve suddenly developed quite an interest. Do you have any way to find such a thing?"
Although he couldn’t absorb blood from the God’s Corpse to obtain new traits, after the white ball’s treatment, the God’s Corpse had become like a boss material in Zheng Yichen’s eyes. Encountering such a boss and not fighting it would be a disgrace to himself.
"You..." Nelliwey was at a loss for words for a moment. The very thing that even True Gods avoided, and now Zheng Yichen was interested?
As to why Zheng Yichen encountered the God’s Corpse previously, neither she nor Alphis believed it was mere coincidence. The God’s Corpse was an existence banished within the spatial turbulence because normal seals or other repressive measures would be eroded and damaged by the God’s Corpse’s malice toward all things in the world.
It couldn’t be suppressed.
The God’s Corpse, banished within the spatial turbulence, would only drift aimlessly. A God’s Corpse didn’t possess space-related abilities, unless the True God in its prior life had such powers.
Without space-related abilities, the God’s Corpse couldn’t normally escape from the spatial turbulence unless, while drifting, the God’s Corpse was directed by something. Pure malice had the chance to take effect then, allowing the God’s Corpse to bore a hole in the spatial turbulence with its own strength.
The condition for this kind of guidance must have a clear direction; otherwise, the pure malice of the God’s Corpse can’t be focused and thus can’t perform a role in the spatial turbulence.
Because the God’s Corpse was already in a state of death, without self-awareness, it couldn’t find a clear target in the void of spatial turbulence. That pure malice was merely emitted aimlessly and wasn’t enough to bring substantial impact to its surroundings.
So if Zheng Yichen encountered the God’s Corpse, it must have been because there was something in the area that could guide it...
Otherwise, that would be too much of a coincidence, almost an impossible one; if we were to say that Zheng Yichen was just incredibly unlucky... then why didn’t he get struck by lightning?
After all, the probability of being struck by lightning was higher than that of encountering a God’s Corpse.
Landen City, Luminous Church Cathedral.
Several Luminous Holy Maidens examined the God’s Corpse fragment that Zheng Yichen had brought out. The youngest, Lillian, reached out to touch it but was slapped on the back of her hand by Alphis standing beside her. It wasn’t painful, but it caused the Holy Maiden to pout slightly and retract her hand.
"Is the God’s Corpse taken care of just like that? It can’t be fake, right?" Lillian asked dubiously. That was, after all, a God’s Corpse, something that the Father God had specifically talked about during a god-dinner. He had given clear instructions.
It’s not that a God’s Corpse is necessarily powerful, but if one does encounter it, one mustn’t provoke too much conflict, and even if a combat were to occur, one should lead it to an uninhabited area instead of trying to destroy it.
And this notion of a God’s Corpse not being necessarily powerful was only in reference to a True God.
"It’s not solved, it’s just had an arm chopped off, I’ll try for the head next time."
"It’s pointless, a God’s Corpse is originally a dead True God, and its body is just a manifestation of its hatred for all the world. Chopping off its head isn’t much different from chopping off its hand." Lillian shared the knowledge she knew, sneaking a glance at Alphis.
But she saw the older Holy Maiden looking at her with a gentle gaze, which made Lillian reluctantly let go of her little thoughts.
Her gaze then turned to the white ball above Zheng Yichen’s head. Taking advantage of being born as a dragon, Tanshia Filo stood on the back of a chair, unafraid of danger, staring at the white ball, ready to reach out and pull it down at any moment.
And the white ball that got pulled down would stubbornly retake the high ground.
She couldn’t feel anything too magical about this creature; she just knew that its origin was not ordinary. It had gnawed on the God’s Corpse Severed Arm, eliminating it, and at the same time, no vile curse was triggered.
Lillian took another look at the fragment, considering that the curse from the God’s Corpse might have exploded, just in another form, remaining as the fragment she was so curious to touch.
"Moreover, not destroying the God’s Corpse completely means it will soon recover. Just like the God’s Corpse Severed Arm you dealt with, leaving it alone, it might result in another God’s Corpse, or the arm could spawn something similar to a God’s Corpse."
Lillian spoke with her hands on her hips, as if she had been the one who eliminated the God’s Corpse Severed Arm.
Then there was the white ball. The young Holy Maiden couldn’t help but take another look; she was very curious about how the white ball managed to destroy the God’s Corpse Severed Arm without being affected by its curse.
Zheng Yichen took the white ball off his head and tossed it to the curious Lillian. Behind him, Tanshia Filo conveniently plopped onto Zheng Yichen’s head, a spot she had been eyeing for a while.
Before she had learned the Transformation technique, when she was clinging to Zheng Yichen’s back, she liked to rest her head on top of Zheng Yichen’s head, and this habit hadn’t changed even after she learned it.
"How did this little thing manage it—" Lillian pinched the white ball in her hand, unable to fathom how. She hadn’t felt any particularly strong strength in the white ball, at least not as strong as a Demigod.
Its resilience, however, was very high. She had touched many materials, and from some tentative pulls after the touch, the physical strength of this thing seemed to be higher even than that of the Demigods of Life.
Yet that alone shouldn’t have been enough to destroy the God’s Corpse arm and bear the Curse.
