Chapter 941: Chapter 514: The Kind Evil God Chapter 941: Chapter 514: The Kind Evil God “Why are you looking at me? Are you mesmerized by my wonderful pose now? I advise you to abandon those bold ideas early on, we are not the same species anymore, there’s no future for us.”

Originally, Mukuai 1234 doubted whether this was a local native in disguise, but after hearing the other’s speech that rivaled that of a madman, Mukuai 1234 confirmed that the speaker was indeed Xiemen Waidao.

Now, Xiemen Waidao looked like a large floating octopus. Although not in the sea, he seemed to float in mid-air in a deep-sea manner, defying gravity.

From the outside, Xiemen Waidao’s appearance was somewhat cartoonish, his bright red exterior looking like he had just been scooped out of hot water, even emitting a fishy sea scent.

He was also quite large, an octopus as tall as a person looked just like an alien, and his occasionally writhing tentacles also had an evil and lewd feel.

Seeing Xiemen Waidao returning from outside as an octopus left everyone at the base speechless.

Merlin thought for a long while, not knowing what to say, and could only give a thumbs-up and say, “That’s really your style.”

“Thank you for the compliment, I also feel I’m on the right path,” Xiemen Waidao proudly puffed out his chest and spat a mouthful of ink to the side.

Have everyone sit down, Xiemen Waidao said, “We’ve always been mistaken, the octopuses here are not ordinary creatures, so our previous way of communicating with them was wrong.”

“What are they then?” Mukuai 1234 asked stiffly.

Her buddy suddenly turned into an octopus and ran back, this was too mind-boggling, making her feel as if her brain had eloped.

“Some kind of higher-dimensional beings, you can think of them as angels.”

“Angels look like this?” Merlin exclaimed in surprise, “Are you insulting my sense of aesthetics?”

Xiemen Waidao lashed out with a tentacle, knocking Merlin to the ground.

After becoming an octopus, Xiemen Waidao’s strength had also increased several times; his seemingly soft tentacles were filled with steel-like muscles, and the force when tensed could even break steel, knocking Merlin unconscious was no problem.

Watching Merlin lying on the ground, Xiemen Waidao said intoxicated, “Ah, such tremendous strength!”

“Don’t be like this Xiemen Waidao, you’re becoming more like a villain now!” Mukuai 1234 couldn’t help saying.

“It’s the one who can’t control his own power who is the villain, whereas I am at most just the opposite of a righteous person.”

“Even if you’ve wrapped yourself in a double negative, you’re still a villain!”

“They say you can’t understand my philosophy, I better keep explaining. Actually, the angels depicted in the Old Testament looked like this, with many tentacles and eyes, mainly symmetrical figures. So I believe the earliest model of angels came from octopuses, and I think no one should object to that.”

“I totally object! You’re basically defying God now!”

“I was originally planning to go and have a good talk with them, see why they wouldn’t obey my governance, but after getting there, I discovered a serious problem.”

Mukuai 1234 temporarily gave up correcting Xiemen Waidao’s thoughts, and asked puzzled, “What problem?”

“Language barrier.”

“Isn’t that something we knew from the start! Here I thought you knew how to communicate, so you went to talk. You didn’t even take the first step!”

“Minor details, no big deal. After discovering the language barrier, I had no choice but to use the merit I had reluctantly gained.”

Merit, a special currency in the game, is also an important resource that only players can use and cannot be traded.

Even the items redeemed with merits could only be used by oneself and NPCs summoned by players, it’s a resource with very strict conditions.

However, the effect of this item is very powerful; as long as you can afford the merits, some powerful New Celestial Honor could be summoned to provide necessary assistance.

If enough merit is given, GM Fang Cheng could also be called over, and by then it would be a one-hit kill for anyone.

Players can earn merits in “Nebula” as well as in other games. These merits would be recorded in the Passport World, and then could be used there.

Because of the existence of merits, other games by Fang Cheng Studio were also revitalized, some games had already lost their final bosses, but players still entered these games for reasons to help the local NPCs, earn merits, and then spend in “Nebula.”

Thus, driving the sales of those games which made other game manufacturers extremely jealous, but lacking the courage and capability, they could only keep being jealous and comfort themselves with “will get used to it eventually.”

Xiemen Waidao, who had done quite a few good deeds in other games, had, of course, accumulated an absurd amount of merit points.

So absurd that even True*Greedy Ghost*Proud Princess Mukuai 1234, who eats daily, had only nibbled on the tip of the iceberg.

Using merit points was akin to providing a commission to some powerful entities. On this commission, players needed to specify their demands and list the amount of merit points they could pay.

If the offered merit satisfied them, multiple powerful entities would come forward to bid; the player could then choose one of them to sign a contract with or have several entities collaborate to fulfill their wish.

If the merit was too little, far fewer entities would show interest, and some could even be mere placeholders, resulting in the wish being fulfilled in an inconceivably bizarre way.

Knowing that Xiemen Waidao had used his merit points, Mukuai 1234 curiously asked, “So what did you use the merit points for? Oh, I get it; were you super stingy with the amount, and that’s why things turned out this way?”

“Am I a stingy person?” Xiemen Waidao responded discontentedly, “I gave a lot of merit points, okay? My wish was to be able to communicate with the octopuses here. Since I gave a lot, many powerful entities responded.”

“And then?”

“At first, I just wanted the ability to communicate with them. However, an anonymous entity thought that mere language ability was too basic and suggested going all the way; why not transform into the same species as them? Wouldn’t that be wonderful?”

“Which entity was that? Sounds like a madman!”

“It seems so. I saw a hint of a chicken foot when that entity was bestowing the blessing on me; it likely was the god of lunatics in the Heavenly Tao network.”

“You really encountered your kind! So, did you just agree?”

“Do you think I’m that casual?” Xiemen Waidao was even more dissatisfied, “I’m still a carbon-based lifeform. How could I just relinquish my humanoid form? But after seeing the attributes of the corresponding species, I was severely tempted. The attributes were ridiculously good!”

Under Mukuai 1234’s icy gaze, Xiemen Waidao rambled enthusiastically: “Complete with an anti-gravity field, I can hover in the air at any time. Muscle density six times that of beef, easily surpassing the strength of steel. And as a divine being, I receive special bonuses from spiritual energy, which doubles the speed of my cultivation. I’ve got it all planned out–by day I’ll be the governor, and by night I’ll turn into Super Octopus Hero fighting for justice. In this dark colony, no one will know that the guy who terrifies criminals is me!”

“Anyone can guess that! Seeing a dried octopus flying in the sky, everyone would know it’s you!”

“Alright, back to the main point. After paying a lot of merit points, he immediately transformed me into an octopus. I was very satisfied after the transformation and gave him double the money as a tip.”

Holding her head, Mukuai 1234 weakly said, “This is the first time I’ve known someone to be so happy after turning into a monster.”

“It might look bad, but it’s strong! After becoming an octopus, I finally understood why these octopuses loiter around here.”

“Do you still remember your mission? I thought you’d forgotten your purpose after achieving your ideal form.”

Ignoring Mukuai 1234’s sneers, Xiemen Waidao continued, “This planet isn’t simple; it used to be a stop for an Evil God. The local residents, who were humanoid aliens, didn’t recognize the Evil God’s true nature and warmly welcomed him. Moved by the local’s hospitality, when the Evil God left, he transformed them into their current form.”

“Really?”

“It’s true. Their attacks are actually a warning, telling us to leave quickly as this place was once a foothold for the Evil God, and remaining might lead to unpleasant occurrences.”

“Nebula” had opened more than ten days ago, and numerous players had constantly been exploring and had already gathered plenty of intelligence.

Besides the Origin Land, which all players wanted to visit, the existence of the Evil God was another point of interest.

After all, according to the information provided by NPCs, the Evil God had visited the Origin Land. What they saw inside remains unknown to others, but it transformed them into Evil Gods, who started moving in mysterious ways here.

From official data, it is clear that each of the so-called six Evil Gods is an extremely dangerous being. But they hold the secrets of the Origin Land, making them necessary targets for players to subdue in the future.

Watching the octopuses that were still trying to invade from outside the base, Mukuai 1234 felt utterly confused.

Pointing at the octopuses floating outside, she looked at Xiemen Waidao and asked puzzledly, “Why did the Evil God turn them into octopuses?”

“Probably because that Evil God thinks an octopus is the perfect form. They’re strong, very long-lived, can manipulate eight hands, and can even pull nuclear missiles from under their body–how is that not incredibly powerful?”

“But… if I became like that, I might as well be dead. Doesn’t the Evil God listen to others’ opinions?”

“Because he doesn’t listen, that makes him an Evil God. They only act based on their preferences and never care about others’ real thoughts. They might not necessarily have bad intentions; they might even be benevolent beings, but that kind of chaotic benevolence is more terrifying than evil.”

After hearing Xiemen Waidao’s explanation, Mukuai 1234 also felt that the Evil God was a very bizarre being.

At the same time, she realized that compared to the Evil God, Xiemen Waidao actually seemed quite moral.
