Chapter 536: Chapter 212: Captain
The Heart Stealer didn’t respond to Li Changhe’s question, instead emitting an ambiguous murmur.
The sound echoed in everyone’s minds, like maggots burrowing through bone, impossible to get rid of.
At the same time, invisible heavy chains seemed to fall on everyone, evoking a bizarre urge to kneel and worship the being before them.
This was the greatest challenge of this task.
Faced with Jack and the other Abnormalities, knowing their abilities.
Even with differences in individual strength, the [Players] might be able to collaborate.
But merely encountering a fifth-tier entity was dangerous enough for [Players].
They were not allies, but rather, for some reason, were temporarily on the players’ side.
Right now, it didn’t bear any good intentions, but merely its presence brought the [Players] endless pressure.
"So this is Divinity... it seems stronger than the King. At least when I faced the King, I didn’t have this feeling." Li Changhe held onto Big Lead, staring at the indescribable, terrifying outline of the creature near the staircase.
He spoke again, his tone indifferent and without reverence, "You can continue using your power if you want, as the Captain will appear very soon. The worst-case scenario is that we’ll stay here with you as neighbors. Remember, we aren’t asking for your help."
The Corpse Face in the hall was devouring the Alien’s body and blood, and its third duplicate was taking shape. The Captain would soon appear.
If the Heart Stealer wanted to mess around with irrelevant matters in such a short time, then no one should leave.
They were the ones seeking help, desperately leaving a distress signal. What arrogance were they showing now?
Instead of passively enduring the other party’s inexplicable influence, it is better to maintain a firm stance. Li Changhe used this as a threat.
If they wanted to cooperate, then they should stop fussing. If not, then they would just be neighbors.
Sure enough, the murmurs in their minds dissipated, and the pressure they were feeling disappeared as well.
"Hahaha, Heart Stealer, how does it feel to be threatened by a human?" A schadenfreude laugh came from Room 507 of the fifth floor, like a mischievous child, but no one would underestimate it.
Anyone who could ridicule the Heart Stealer was definitely on par with it.
"But, human, this could be a method." The voice continued, "The stowaway is too weak. Or rather, you all are too weak."
Wolf Smoke’s face twitched; Jack had called him weak, and Red Shoes had too. Now even the fifth-tier Abnormalities were saying the same thing.
He felt a bit like he was being targeted by the whole world. However, being called weak along with everyone else seemed less shameful.
"Since you have already thought of the Captain’s constraint, you should know that there are only a few ways to break the deadlock." The voice continued, its tone and speech elusive, far from any human sound, "Merely kill all the humans on the ship, and his Authority will no longer be complete."
The extremely cold words fell.
The players’ expressions shifted but didn’t seem too surprised.
For a powerful non-human creature, human life and death aren’t that important.
If the rooms weren’t absolutely safe, they would probably find ways to slaughter the humans hiding inside, with the aim of weakening the Captain.
So, they were not allies with the players, but just two parties using each other.
"Unfortunately, you are humans. So, this plan has to be eliminated. The only thing left to do is to make the stowaway among you stronger. Faith in the Heart Stealer could be a way. This is a rare opportunity. Of course, there are also certain risks." The voice sounded teasing, "It will be your most glorious moment, but also your darkest hour."
"So you protected Wolf Smoke for this reason?" Li Changhe looked back at Wolf Smoke, who seemed hesitant.
He inquired among his friends, asking the girl, "Can you gain power just by believing in divine creatures? What about you, girl?"
This had never been explored before.
Such a high-level existence was not something Li Changhe of this level could encounter.
The only thing he could be sure of was the Divine Gifted Grass in his backpack, which had a chance to make him believe in a certain existence.
"It’s different for me. I only gained part of Demon Baal’s.power. I haven’t reached that level yet. When a divine creature becomes powerful enough, it can bestow power on its chosen believers." The girl quickly responded, "Of course, this so-called faith isn’t an empty and elusive concept. Instead, it requires one to fully regard the object of faith as the only truth. Don’t think about believing in any divine creatures. A colleague once believed in an existence in a desperate situation. Later, we learned that it could decide the life and death of its followers. Everything it said would be considered the truth by them. They would become its eyes, its avatars, spreading its fame in the world. So, never dabble in divine faith. Once you believe in an existence, you are no longer yourself."
"Are you talking about Chen Guang?" Li Changhe thought of Chen Guang, who had mentioned believing in a certain existence before.
"No. Not everyone has Captain Chen’s strong will and power. All I know is that the existence he believed in eventually died." The girl replied, "As for that colleague, they tried hard to resist becoming a fanatical believer, but in the end, they still..."
The outcome went without saying... That’s why Chen Guang had always warned Li Changhe not to use the Divine Gifted Grass lightly. Of course, it was a good method to use in a desperate situation.
"So, the Heart Stealer has the ability to transform humans into fanatical believers, like the Divine Gifted Grass?" Li Changhe pondered whether the Awei Protection Association was actually seeking this power when they entered the Dream Cruise.
It made sense. Li Changhe now suspected that Heavenly Principle relied on a divine creature that had escaped.
The power of divine creatures was indeed a great temptation.
[Holders] were an extension of divine power.
What the Heart Stealer wanted was to transform the stowaway, Wolf Smoke, into a fanatical believer and enhance his power to the point where he could hurt the Captain.
"So that’s how it is. It’s all for the stowaway’s identity, huh." Li Changhe was relieved at this revelation. At least the two divine creatures didn’t suggest for Wolf Smoke to kill the girl to obtain the Holder’s power.
At this moment, the Corpse Face in the hall completely devoured the Giant Alien and drank the Blood Pool on the ground. Once finished, it began constructing its third duplicate.
At the same time, in the center of the hall near the main door, a vague figure emerged.
The Captain had arrived.
