…
Critical moment.
Damir's manhole cover, this half-artifact, helped Roger a lot.
This thing is simply the nemesis of the portal.
In terms of drilling holes.
Even the ancient gods' expert portal opening is no match for it!
Looking at the smooth hole on the portal of the gods.
Roger showed a satisfied smile:
"It's worthy of being the weapon for cheating praised by the gods in heaven. This thing might be designed for the gods' door... Well, if you can't even get through the door, then what's the point of cheating..."
Just at this moment.
Roger realized that the alchemical beast was close to death.
So he cut in without hesitation.
Red Moon, Life Sword, Floating Cloud Palm...
A large number of moves were directly launched at the alchemical beast.
Roger even threw a few animal taming rings symbolically!
It would be nice to keep it as a pet!
What a pity.
The alchemical beast would rather die than surrender.
soon.
on the data bar.
…
"Hint: You killed the Alchemical Beast!"
…
"Kill Order (Advanced Extraction): You have obtained the specialty of the Alchemy Beast - Adrenaline"
…
"Adrenaline: You can actively activate this feat to greatly increase your attack speed, movement speed, burst judgment, will judgment, and reflex speed.
…
at the same time.
You can also extract and harvest your own adrenaline while this feat is active, crafting it into adrenaline supplements.
Just in case of need.
A single serving of epinephrine supplement may be stored under certain conditions for up to 180 days.
…
The degree of improvement in each aspect of adrenaline depends on the level, the higher the level, the greater the improvement.
…
"It's not bad. This specialty..."
Roger glanced at it casually.
There was a hint of regret in his eyes.
He actually wanted expertise related to giant monsters.
What a pity.
There are quite a few monsters with specialties like the Alchemy Behemoth.
The probability of winning is also lowered.
After killing the alchemy monster.
Roger greeted Sophia and her siblings.
Signal them to follow him.
Then he sent a few killing clones to check the situation nearby.
He returned to the secret passage again.
At this time, Trina seemed to have adjusted her mood.
Her eyes looked calm.
Roger didn't sense any malice or desire to fight from her either.
…
"I won't break my promise..."
Trina looked at Roger deeply:
"But your style is too overbearing. Even Miss Mistra didn't seize my territory right away..."
"I am me and she is she!"
Roger certainly understood Trina's dissatisfaction.
He is indeed not the kind of super domineering person that the other party mistakenly believes him to be.
But when this is the first time the two parties come into contact.
He needs to show his strength.
Only this way.
Only in this way can we gain more room in subsequent negotiations.
…
"So? What are you going to do with my people?"
Trina looked at Roger coldly.
His eyes became more and more unfriendly.
"Before discussing this topic, perhaps you should consider yourself more. Aren't you afraid that I will attack you personally—the ancient god of unknown origin?"
Roger looked at Trina with amusement.
His eyes gradually became more aggressive.
The latter was not afraid at all:
…
“Attack me?
You may overestimate yourself.
With your current power, you are simply unable to interfere with the universe outside the nine planets - I am not afraid to tell you that my real body is not here.
On this planet.
I just left a few tentacles...
No ancient god would care whether their tentacles were damaged.
Just like you humans don’t care if your hair falls off…”
…
Roger narrowed his eyes.
This is a very interesting statement.
"So what you're saying is - you don't care if your hair gets damaged, but you care about your people, your followers?"
"This is obvious. Although I am not a good god, I have my own code of conduct. I will not abandon any of my subjects and believers..."
Speaking of this.
Trinas' tone suddenly softened:
…
“You’re bluffing, right?
I have seen you in visions.
You value life no less than I do...
You won't do anything to them, right?
You will even protect them..."
…
"It's hard to say..."
Roger raised his eyebrows without comment:
…
“It’s up to me to judge them.
Generally speaking.
If it is a normal life form.
Under my rule, you will naturally enjoy the same rights as others.
But I doubt the independence of the souls of the native sea people..."
…
Roger's words were directed at the thin lines in the souls of the sea creatures that were pointing towards the virtual world!
Trina said solemnly:
…
“If that’s what you’re worried about.
Then I can assure you that each of my children has an independent will!
Their souls are as free as those of other creatures.
As for those thin lines you see.
I can only say that you have completely misunderstood...
…
If you're willing to believe me.
And I am willing to let my people continue to live on this planet.
Then all the previous unpleasantness can disappear.
I will constrain their development.
At least not beyond the boundaries you set.
They will keep their distance from other intelligent creatures on this planet for a long time..."
…
Roger looked at Trina calmly.
Suddenly.
He raised his voice:
"You already knew that I had Damir's manhole cover, right?"
The mermaid's expression didn't change.
But there was a strange look in her eyes.
This slight fluctuation was keenly captured by Roger!
So Roger laughed:
…
“So you never intended to trade with Constantine from the beginning.
Since you know my existence.
And saw my vision—
You knew he wouldn't be my opponent!
You also know that if you want your people to continue to live on this planet
The only way is to cooperate with me...
…
But you don’t want to do this through a transaction—
This is fun!
You are obviously a hunter.
But he disguised himself as a prey.
So you deliberately said that if I could open the portal to the gods, the outside world would be given to me, right?
In fact, you don’t care about the outside world at all!
You just want me to feel like I'm getting a great deal!
This feeling will help you achieve your goals in our subsequent negotiations...
…
The reason why you do so much.
I'm afraid it's not just a simple test of my character—
Let me guess.
This group of so-called people or believers is very important to you, right?
You have to do everything you can to keep them.
You even have to ensure that they continue to live on this planet..."
…
He said as he watched the mermaid's expression change.
It’s a pity that apart from the initial mental fluctuations.
In the subsequent process.
Trina remained calm throughout.
This left Roger's guesses and reasoning without any evidence.
But the general judgment should be correct.
Trinas must have known she had the manhole cover.
She just wanted to show weakness on purpose!
Then control your own psychology deeply——
Perhaps some mysterious power is involved!
Roger is trying to get to the bottom of this.
So he stared at Trinas coldly, and showed an attitude that if the other party didn't give him a suitable explanation, he would order people to massacre the native sea people!
…
"I can't respond directly to your speculation, but you are really perceptive. I admit that the outside world is meaningless to me, and I also admit that these believers have a certain meaning to me, but then what? Can you really kill these innocent people?"
Trinas said calmly:
“My demands and bottom line have been made very clear + whether it is an alliance, cooperation, trade, or becoming an enemy - it all depends on you.
Just as you said.
You are the boss of this planet now, aren't you?"
"How to coexist with distorted matter..."
Roger suddenly said.
He looked into Trina's eyes:
"Tell me how you have blessed their souls, and I will consider granting your request."
Trina laughed immediately:
"So you came here for this from the beginning..."
Roger nodded frankly.
Since everyone is smart.
Then there's no need to say those roundabout words.
The best way is to get straight to the point and save time.
…
"I have absorbed all the distorted matter that invaded the souls of the sea creatures..."
Trina smiled softly and said:
“That’s why they never went crazy—that’s what those little threads were for.
Let me say a little more.
As a true ancient god.
I don't need their faith at all.
All I want is some delicious food..."
The distorted substance that invaded her soul was actually called delicious by her?
Roger showed a surprised expression for the first time.
But perception shows that—
It seems Trinas wasn’t lying!
She seemed to be really absorbing the distorted substances from the native sea creatures!
…
"Then why don't you just come over here?"
Roger asked in confusion:
"There are too many distorted materials on the nine planets. You can eat them all at once. If you don't know where there are more, I can show you the way..."
Trinas laughed and said:
…
"Would you humans crawl into a frying pan just to eat?
Or did it get into the cutlery?
That shouldn’t be the case, right?
We are the same...
not to mention.
Our bodies are too big.
Your universe cannot accommodate a body like mine...
And the unrefined aberrations aren’t tasty enough.
What's more.
I was just passing by.
I'd casually stuff a few tentacles in because they were tasty... well, you can think of them as straws to help with eating - but that was about as far as I could go.
I won’t pay any more attention to these things.”
…
"You're lying!"
Roger questioned:
"You obviously care about these tentacles!"
Trinas' expression remained calm as she said:
…
“I said so.
I have my own code of conduct -
These believers have provided me with more than enough delicious food over the long years.
So I don't mind giving them a little bit of protection.
From another level.
The me who appears before you now is just the resonance of the obsession of these remaining tentacles.
I cannot speak for Trina's will.
But Trinas herself wouldn't care about my behavior of taking advantage of the power of others...
…
indeed.
In terms of fighting ability, there is no way I can be your opponent.
There is no way Trinas herself could have come to this universe.
Here you have the power to dominate everything.
But there are beings like you who have the potential to become multi-universe beings.
Maybe we should think about things in the longer term.
One day if you leave the existing dimension.
When moving towards a higher space.
You may find that having one more friend—or at least an acquaintance—may not be such a bad thing..."
…
Roger was silent.
What Trina talked about was really too unbelievable!
He thought the mermaid was bragging.
If not.
The existence of the ancient god Trinas himself might echo the painting theory of Tarodar.
It's just that one is painting.
One is a straw.
But they are all terrifying concepts beyond the universe.
Roger couldn't imagine that kind of state.
He didn't even want to admit it.
After all, there is no direct evidence.
But it happens.
His instinct, his authority, his perception... everything pointed to Trinas's words being true!
So he took a deep breath.
Then came the last question:
"When Mistra came to this planet, why did you leave? Where did you go after you left? Why did you come back after that?"
"I have always been..."
Trinas said calmly:
…
"It is only my people who have left—
When the travelers from the Celestial race arrived in this universe.
It means that the universe has begun its new life.
So for a long time.
None of them will be targeted by the vortex creatures.
There is absolutely no benefit for them to stay here.
So I let them leave for a short while...
You should know better than me what happened afterwards...
My people have returned here.
This is actually good news for you..."
…
"So, can you increase the intensity of your absorption of the distortion substance?"
Roger probed:
"Or can you absorb more distorted matter through other channels?"
Trina frowned:
“You overestimate me.
I said it.
I am just the resonance of the tentacles' obsession.
Trina herself may even have forgotten this universe.
He may be on a higher dimensional line.
Already far away from here.
Apart from the most basic instinct.
There is no way He would respond to any of my calls!
I might even disappear suddenly one day.
After all, no matter how powerful the multiverse life is, it is impossible to leave its own traces in all the universes...
And the day I disappeared.
This means that the ancient god Trinas has completely left this dimension..."
…
Hear this.
Roger fell silent again.
a long time.
He looked up at the other person:
“I think you’re lying.
But think about it carefully.
None of this bullshit seems to have any bearing on how I deal with your people—
I agree to your request.
It is only because I judge that these independent souls are indeed innocent...
…
The Sea of ​​Silence will return to the world together with the Green Whispering Mountains, but I will use my authority to separate this land. Your people will never cross the borders I have divided. If there is any violation of the agreement, I will deal with it as appropriate..."
…
Trina nodded:
…
“That’s enough!
That’s all I want!
But before I leave, I have to remind you that the alchemist named Constantine is very powerful.
He came to see me dressed as you.
He tried to trade with me as Star Lord.
If you hadn't happened to come here.
I can't even tell the difference between you..."
…
"I think this information may be useful to you..."
…
As she spoke, the mermaid disappeared into the beautiful coral reef.
Immediately following.
A strange azure blue bottle also floated along the ocean current into Roger's hands.
…
"Hint: You have obtained the Rhine Bottle, a sacred relic of the sea race..."
…
"You have obtained the permission to open the portal to the gods and travel to the outside world!"
…
