The Abyssal Garden: No Room for the Idle
Chapter 424 - 272 Su Qi: I Became a Divine Son?_2

"Ding!"

Su Qi looked at the [Super Dream Protocol] in his line of sight.

[Data transfer from the target system is in progress, the network protection for the area has been lifted.]

[Invasion speed is increasing.]

It seemed that the other party was doing exactly as they said, transferring data now, and with this gap, the invasion was rapidly progressing.

"Ka ka ka!"

At the same time,

the entire third sub-level below suddenly began emanating sounds of gears turning, echoing endlessly in the silent space.

"...What's going on?" Everyone looked uneasy.

"Staying put comes with an idle penalty, see? The NPCs are hurrying us along."

"Your composition is too complicated... Bro..." Du En didn't know how to tease Su Qi as he looked toward the distance.

The gates around them were loosening, and the Monsters inside seemed to be awakening.

However,

Su Qi still had control for the time being, he directly shut off the power to all the gates that contained dangerous beings, giving time for the invasion to continue.

But... Su Qi had underestimated the strength of the Monsters held back by the gates.

"Boom!"

A series of low growls reverberated; everyone's faces paled as booming impacts exploded throughout the space!

"What kind of Monster is this? It didn't have this power just a minute ago!"

Su Qi clicked his tongue.

The screen in front of him flickered slightly, and the surveillance footage appeared before Su Qi's eyes.

The Monsters were... all covered in black pustules, unrecognizable as human. Each stood five meters tall, with an aura similar to what they had seen from the transformed residents in Evil Town.

At the same time,

Su Qi saw that they were bound by numerous syringes.

"So that's it."

These Monsters had been heavily sedated, and tranquilizing Potions maintained a constant injection, but whether the Potion dosage had just run out, or someone had deliberately stopped the Potion input,

the Monsters were now in revolt!

And on the other side of the gates, a massive number of Monsters from the second layer amassed, their footsteps a dense murmur! The main gate's opening had left them all waiting, howling, ready to burst through impatiently!

"Let's go!"

The Captain gently exhaled, yet remained calm, his hand gripping a military saber, his eyes resolute: "We have to face it eventually, it seems our death is already ordained, rather than dying here, we might as well die with dignity."

Everyone's heart sank, mouths agape but unable to retort.

They were well aware this was a death trap.

To have reached the control room alive was already a miracle and now...

Their gazes fixed on the deluge of Monsters flooding in, and the third layer's gates being battered, cracks forming, more terrifying Monsters about to step through.

In such a situation,

No hope was in sight, let alone escaping this place, they would still be under the control of these corporations, researchers, and behind them, the vast Superpower Association.

They were just a C-level team.

How could they possibly stand against such immense Darkness!

The conclusion seemed inevitable.

Du En clenched his teeth:

"No, don't give up."

"Countless people have already been engulfed by this Darkness, we... even if we are too, we must fight with all our might to leave clues for the outside world."

"Even if we can't escape, let us be the last team to die in this swamp!"

"It's all worth it!"

"That is the meaning of our existence!"

His last words were practically a shout!

Why the hell are you yelling? Can that give you a BUFF?

No, that's not right.

Su Qi's eyes flickered.

Looking at the others, it seemed like it really could.

Everyone's eyes now seemed filled with determination! The slump from moments before was swept away!

What was more,

the Divine Power in Du En's body, following that roar, burst forth once again! And this time...

This Power bestowed strength upon everyone.

Each person's body felt a significant surge in Strength, and with a roar, they charged toward the attacking Monsters!

"Is this the effect of a Battle Roar?"

Su Qi murmured to himself, "But why don't I feel anything?"

He channeled Spiritual Energy into the [Spiritual Eyes], slightly squinting his left eye, and saw colorful waves of energy rippling through the air like waves.

Is this Divinity?

With the help of [Spiritual Eyes], Su Qi could see its true form.

It was like an emanation of faith.

The connected individuals... they all seemed to share the same faith, hence they were tied together and received blessings.

"Divinity seems to be related to the Power of Faith."

Su Qi stretched out his hand and grasped the Divinity, trying various methods to see if he could capture it in his Item Slot, but it was like sand slipping through his fingers, disappearing in an instant.

Trying to absorb it into his body was equally futile; it just floated away as if completely untouchable.

"It seems that only those who believe in this God... can receive His care, His Sanctuary."

Su Qi gently mused to himself.

This then must be connected to the shrine.

Before...

The Reputation System mentioned countless shrines and the importance of Totems, but it could not be activated in the short term, it looks like... that's the key to accumulating the Power of Faith, which is related to Divinity.

In other words...

The Power of Faith is also the key to becoming Divine.

"Based on what I've seen, the people of this world must all be the followers, the worshippers of some God, which is why they can be blessed by... the Divine Son's divinity BUFF." Su Qi now had a clearer outline and hypothesis about this world.

"It seems that there must be something of extreme value here, to have drawn the attention of the Abyss Church."

"And moreover..."

"According to the attitude of the Superpower Association, Du En is the most crucial element."

Su Qi had almost hit the nail on the head with his analysis.

Though he lazed around and played the actor, he was actually integrating all the information he came across; of course, lazing around was also quite comfortable.

He no longer attempted to touch the Divinity.

"Before a burst occurs, it's important to take Du En, who has been targeted, away. The Divine Son is a very important card."

The main quest, all the keys to this world are related to it, and there's also a God behind the other party. If I save their offspring, it would be unnecessary for that God to bow to me; a reward equivalent to what I gained from the Anxious Land would be sufficient.

"Of course..."

Su Qi looked towards the surrounding monitors and lightly tapped with his finger, "Buddy, stop watching."

He cut off all the video feeds.

And at that moment...

High above, on a fleet of heavily armed vehicles, an elderly man and the Superpower Seven were also aboard, staring at the screens that had just been cut off, having just been closely watching everything transpiring in the research factory.

"Was that just now..." a blond man was somewhat astonished.

"Indeed." a woman said in a deep voice, "That was Divinity..."

"That man called Su Buxian."

Beside them, Hedgehog Head spoke coldly, "He can even manipulate the waves of Divinity with his hand."

He stated emphatically, each word clear, "He is undoubtedly the Divine Son!"

Any previous doubts had now all but solidified into a certainty about Su Qi's identity! The sudden burst of Divinity! His manipulating actions! The increased strength of the people!

All lined up with the Divinity's command over the worshippers' Powers...

"Now, a large number of Grade A personnel have been mobilized, all quietly heading towards that vicinity."

"Priest, should we also use our powers to get there quickly? It seems the X Organization is also making some moves."

"No rush; we want them all to come."

The elderly man calmly watched the reversing scenery outside the car window.

"...Whether it be the Divine Son, X Organization, or my dear old friend."

"They will all be buried today, for their great God."

And at that moment...

Not far from the industrial park, Bai Yilin and his group had just finished dealing with the departing Grade A team, and also simultaneously received an urgent order transmitted from the mind of the old man!

"Divine Son!"

"The Divine Son has appeared!" The man with the beard's face changed drastically, his eyes filled with shock and confusion!

Bai Yilin and others had just ended the battle and were tidying up, and seeing the discomposed state of the three, their expressions were filled with bewilderment.

"Divine Son?"

What situation?

At the same time...

The old man's voice also appeared in their minds.

"Fellow outsiders, please heed my request."

"I ask you..."

"Save our Divine Son."
