Volume 10: Doomsday Storm Chapter 599: Superficial Humanity
"Cooperation? Humph, do you think you can fool me? Go ahead, Dragon God, use your sweet words to deceive me, use your false statements to mislead me, but it is meaningless, because no matter what kind of false lies and misleading words you tell, they cannot shake my determination to corrupt this world, nor can they stop my will to completely devour the physical universe."
The Will of the Void slowly floated up into the sky, hovering high in the space inside the golden tree, looking down at the Faceless Commander who was possessed by the Dragon God.
Murphy laughed secretly in his heart. Although he spoke arrogantly, he still flew into the sky and put on a defensive posture. Was he really afraid?
Yes, it is obviously impossible to remain indifferent to this kind of operation that is beyond the NPC's cognition and is carried out by utilizing the game mechanism.
But Murphy was very curious about what the Void Will, an existence that was beyond the control of the game system to a certain extent, would do if it knew that it was just an NPC.
"Of course, you are the Lord of the Void who possesses supreme wisdom, the king from the Shadow Void. How can my few words affect you? So it's okay for you to listen to me, right? Then I will tell you."
The Void Will did not take any action, which meant it acquiesced to Murphy's words.
"First, let me guess. You plan to use the roots and tentacles of the golden tree to go deep into the ground and completely corrupt this planet, right?"
The Will of the Void did not answer, but since there was no answer, it naturally meant it agreed.
Murphy easily understood the other party's subtext.
"But your corruption process is obviously not going smoothly. The roots of a tree need branches and leaves to grow, but the roots of the golden trees you extended out were constantly destroyed. Those corrupted small golden trees were burned one after another. Am I right?"
"Humph, a small loss is meaningless to me. My power is endless. Under my control, the Void Tree will extend more roots and grow more clones, and eventually it will spread across this continent and even the entire world."
Murphy sneered in his heart, you have a nice idea.
In the past few months, the golden tree has indeed grown new small golden trees, but they cannot keep up with the speed at which they are being destroyed. Often, for every small tree grown by the Void Will, two or three would be destroyed.
This is actually equivalent to a tug-of-war between the light camp and the dark camp, but in this tug-of-war, the light camp has an absolute advantage because of the existence of super-dimensional creatures such as players.
Although the Void Will is powerful and can kill tens of thousands of adventurers in one battle, adventurers can be reborn, and Godwin is also very cunning. He always opens up multiple battlefields at the same time, making the Void Will unable to focus on one or the other. The Void Will is like the King of Western Chu. As long as it appears on the battlefield, it can sweep away the coalition forces, but other battlefields can only be pushed down by Godwin and his men's various tricks.
Moreover, the Will of the Void has to sit in the golden tree and unleash the power of corruption, so it is impossible for it to fight outside for a long time.
"At this rate, in three months at most, all the branches of the Golden Tree will be destroyed, and your strength will decline because you have wasted too much energy on the Golden Tree. Have you ever considered changing your path?"
"Humph, I thought you had such brilliant words, but are they so shallow? You are simply trying to trick me into giving up my plan to corrupt the world. Don't think you can fool me. I have killed countless mortals in such a short time, and the mortals' power is about to be exhausted. I can feel it.
Every time they destroyed a small golden tree, they would lose tens of thousands of soldiers. Every time they purified a church, they would also lose a large number of troops. How many humans were there in the entire alliance?
At this rate, the first ones to collapse will surely be the mortals. The current strength is just an illusion created by sacrificing a large number of lives. If we delay for another two or three months, the blood of the mortals will be dried out, and by that time, no one will be able to stop me.
Don't try to deceive me, I won't be influenced by you."
Murphy suddenly burst into laughter, and the Faceless Commander let out a strange laugh that echoed in the dark space inside the golden tree.
"Hahahaha, is the so-called Void Will so dull and blind? I once regarded you as an opponent, but now it seems that I was overthinking.
Of course you won't be influenced by me, because there is a higher-level power controlling you, manipulating you, leading you towards the path of doom, blinding your eyes, confusing your mind, just like Ner'zhul who was toyed with by you. I think when Ner'zhul was collecting the power of the Old Gods, he must have been driven by you, and he didn't even notice the slightest thing wrong.
He must have thought that all of this was his own idea, a grand plan that he had carefully planned, but he didn't know that when he gathered the power of the ancient gods and thought that his strength reached its peak, that would be the moment of his demise."
"You are just another Ner'zhul. You think you have mastered the key to victory, but in fact you are blindly walking towards destruction and death." A force surrounded Murphy and pulled him into the air.
The dark figure just stared at him, those black hole-like eyes seemed to see through his flesh and soul. The power of shadow surrounded him and penetrated him. Murphy felt his own flesh and blood mutating and wriggling, but Murphy didn't care. A god who did not break through the control of the system was ultimately just a crab in a box. He seemed to be showing his fangs and claws, but in fact he posed no threat.
Seeing that Murphy didn't react at all, the Void Will let out a cold snort with an echo.
"Humph, I'm being controlled? That's impossible. Your lies are clumsy and absurd. The only thing that impressed me was your ability to control me, your useless subordinates. This must be some new power of faith. What kind of lies did you instill in your believers so that their fanatical faith gave you this novel effect?
Don't think I'll be scared by you, it's just some bluffing ."
"Haha, do you think so? That's a good idea, isn't it? The power of faith... I really haven't thought about it from this aspect. Well, let's not talk about this for now. I said before that I'm here to discuss cooperation with you. Regardless of whether those mortals will really collapse soon, I have a quick way to deal with them. I can help you change your current disadvantage. Are you interested in listening?"
"Why are you helping me?"
"Because the is also my enemy. If you fall, I will be the next one. You don't need to believe me at all, but you might as well give it a try. It won't waste many resources anyway."
"You must be suspecting that I'm setting a trap for you, but what if I'm deliberately telling you the key to your victory so that you become rebellious and ignore this way out?"
"Go ahead, I'm listening." The Void Will couldn't help but express his curiosity.
"The biggest reason why your Void Army cannot defeat those adventurers is that they are too ugly. Mortals are superficial creatures. Once they see your ugly followers, those corrupted human elves, they will feel endless fear in their hearts, and fear brings anger, and anger brings strength.
In order to prevent the curse of flesh and blood from contaminating them and transforming them into that abominable form, they must fight with all their might and try every means to resist you. This is true for all kingdoms and all forces, so you cannot defeat them.
The best way to defeat mortals is to destroy their will to resist and make them lose the determination to fight."
The Void Will was actually somewhat persuaded. At least it sounded like the other party was thinking for him. "So what should we do?"
"It's very simple. The reason why mortals are afraid of being corrupted is that they will turn into ugly forms after being corrupted by the void. All you need to do is gather a group of corrupted humans and elves, and then transform them into a void race that is incomparably beautiful, noble, and powerful in the eyes of mortals. Then tell those mortals that the corruption of the void is not a curse, but a blessing. Being transformed by the void will not only give them powerful strength, but also give them a perfect form. Then those mortals will no longer resist fiercely, and some may even take the initiative to accept the void."
The Void Will wanted to laugh after hearing this, but unfortunately the Lord of the Void did not have the ability to 'laugh', so he could only let out a cold snort.
"Are you kidding me? Dragon God Aidandelon, you are trying to deceive me with such a ridiculous plan? Would a mortal change his mindset and give up resistance because of something so superficial? Give up the justice he insists on? Give up his own world? Are you sure you know what you are talking about?
Murphy couldn't help but laugh. "Of course I know what I'm talking about. Believe it or not, but my plan is definitely useful. I think it shouldn't be difficult to create this kind of void life with your power, right?"
"Of course it's not difficult, but the gift of flesh and blood can make corrupted life stronger. This is the truth of the void. False appearances are meaningless. Those mortals cannot fail to understand the meaning of this."
"If you insist on thinking this way, then just pretend I didn't say anything. You will be the first to die anyway, and you might as well think about it. What if what I said is right? After all, I understand mortals better than you do. If I am right, you can quickly turn the situation around by doing what I say.
Of course, you can also continue to hold on and see if those mortals will really die out completely as you wish.
Well, that’s all I have to say. It’s up to you whether you want to try it or not. Then - goodbye.”
Watching the Faceless Commander disappear out of thin air, the Void Will fell into deep thought, and there was silence all around.
The Will of the Void was not as firm as his words. Those adventurers could not be killed at all. This was the experience he had summed up during this period of time. Obviously, after a battle, all the adventurers in an area were killed, but in the blink of an eye, those adventurers popped up again, as if they grew out of the ground.
This even made him doubt for a moment whether all the gods in the real universe had already participated in the war.
But even the gods don’t have such power!
The Dragon God's words made him somewhat excited. Although those words sounded so absurd and ridiculous, as the other party said, what if it worked? That would completely change his situation.
Humph, let’s give it a try. It won’t consume much energy anyway.
The Will of the Void transmitted its thoughts to its servants, those dark archbishops. They were once believers of the Holy Light, but because their minds were not firm enough, they quickly defected after coming into contact with the power of the Void.
The most powerful one among them is Benedictus, one of the former bishops of Holy Light.
Today's Shadow Bishop.
After receiving the message from the Will of the Void, Benedictus responded immediately.
"Great Master, what can I do for you?"
"Pick a group of corrupted people. I want to reform them personally."
Soon, thousands of corrupted humans and corrupted elves were sent to the foot of the golden tree.
These humanoid creatures were covered with fleshy pus-filled tumors, their deformed arms had turned into tentacles, and their bodies were covered with eyeballs of varying sizes.
Each one of them looked like they came out of a Cthulhu horror movie.
However, although it is a bit ugly, its fighting power is much stronger than that of ordinary human elves.
The Will of the Void looked at these creations of its own with admiration in its heart.
Humph, those ignorant humans don't know how precious the blessing of the void is. The squirming flesh and blood is full of vitality, and the twisted body is full of energy.
You don't even know how to cherish such a gift? Never mind, let me reform you!
He released the power of shadow, and the shadow energy wrapped around a corrupted elf like countless tentacles. This was a female elf, and her distorted appearance made it impossible to recognize what she looked like in life. Only the torn elf robe could reveal her past identity.
Shadow energy invaded the squirming body, carving out the ugly tumors and pustules, absorbing the eye tentacles, and transforming the squirming flesh into ordinary smooth skin.
Soon the corrupted elf returned to its original appearance. Apart from the purple light in its eyes and the darker skin color, it looked almost the same as a normal elf.
But the price is that the strengthening effect of Void Corruption is reduced by more than three levels.
Too weak, and probably not beautiful at all.
The Void Will is an expert in playing with souls. He has captured countless souls and is well aware of the dark desires deep in the hearts of mortals. He has learned how to stir up and control such emotions without any instruction.
So let me give you a little twist.
The shadow energy once again invaded the elf's body, and her form began to undergo subtle changes.
Done!
A perfect void elf appeared in front of the Will of Nothingness.
She has a slender figure, but her breasts are proudly upright, her thighs are plump, her calves are well-proportioned, and her skin is as delicate as silk. Every part of her body is as elegant and perfect as a work of art.
A slim waist, a perky butt and long legs, all are arranged.
The purple eyes exude a charming light that is captivating.
"Benedictus, look at this, what do you feel?"
"Ah, great master, your power is indeed unfathomable. Such a perfect creation can only be created by a being as great as you."
Perfect? This thing is weak, at least three levels weaker than the previous form... Are these mortals really such superficial beings? So be it.
Since you do not appreciate this great gift, you have been transformed into this flashy, inferior version.
The Will of the Void released countless tentacles of shadow, and soon all the thousands of humans and elves were transformed.
All the men have muscular bodies, eight-pack abs, an evil temperament, and handsome looks like sculptures.
All the women have perfect, provocative bodies, charming eyes, and breathtakingly beautiful looks.
At the same time, it retains its affinity for shadow energy, but its strength is much weaker than the previous version.
In addition, in order to match their appearance, the Void Will also designed exclusive clothing for them to highlight their figure and appearance to the greatest extent.
To the millions of void armies, such a force of thousands of people is nothing.
However, the Will of the Void still named it [Void Elves], and it exists as an independent category of followers - in fact, many of them are transformed by humans.
At the same time, he gave these void elves a special ability that could transform captured enemies into void life forms of similar form.
The Void Will's mentality was somewhat complicated. He wanted them to be useful, but he also didn't want the Dragon God to be right. He soon sent this army to the front line.
He didn't hold out much hope, but things soon surprised him.
After the battle, the number of void elves increased instead of decreased.
When mortal adventurers encounter these void elves, they will obviously not be so brutal.
They may even deliberately approach and try to have some kind of communication and interaction.
It actually works? The Void Will was somewhat surprised.
At this moment, news about the new race in the Void camp had already spread on the forum.
Players are pouring into the cities where the Void Elves are stationed.
"Damn, this void elf is so handsome."
“Hahahaha, look at my perfect eight-pack abs, look at my devilish eyes, hahahaha, I’m so handsome.”
"Wow, look at me, I'm so beautiful!"
At this moment, the number of players stationed in the entire Void Elves is growing rapidly. After discovering that there is such a high-looking monster type in the Void camp, players decisively transferred in in large numbers.
Word spread quickly, and the number of players in the Void camp suddenly increased, but they all chose the Void Elves monster type. No one chose the other monsters, such as the Faceless Ones and the Void Walkers.
The result was that the Void Will was surprised to find that the number of corrupted people under its control had increased by more than one million in less than three days.
…
Murphy closed the post on Tieba, it seems that his plan was very successful.
Now the Void Camp has been stabilized, and it may even continue to spread. Wang Xuan will have something to worry about in the short term.
With the Void Will attracting attention, it is time to start your own action.
Murphy entered the game and immediately assembled the ancient dragon army.
"I will be observing the future for the next period of time. Please do not disturb me unless necessary. No one is allowed to enter the Dragon Temple."
After everyone left, Murphy closed the door of the temple.
Naturally, he was not going to conduct future observations, but was preparing to go to a parallel time and space to collect the authority of light and shadow.
However, he suspected that there might be Wang Xuan's spies in the Dragon Legion, so he had to do some cover-up.
Time travel! Murphy took a step forward, and his figure instantly disappeared into the Dragon Temple.
