Ten Thousand Ways To Eliminate Players
Chapter 383: 383 Weak and Powerful Deity
"The Curse God? Is this a divine spirit of the Western Continent? It doesn't feel like it's part of the same system as the Immortal World at all! This thing's method of attack is too unconventional."
"It's an unpredictable attack; even Lin Bai fell for it. Suddenly, the game in the Continent of Gods and Demons seems more interesting."
"What do you mean unpredictable? He's just weak and got subdued by Lin Bai in one go. How is that interesting?"
"Shouldn't we be more concerned about the gods from the Continent of Gods and Demons invading our reality? How did this one pass through two Magpie Bridges? If it enters our reality, gains followers, and starts casting this so-called curse, will we be able to resist? If one deity can cross the Magpie Bridge, it's likely that other gods have already infiltrated the real world."
"Lin Bai's control over the Magpie Bridge is too loose. Zhou Zhu slipped into the real world and turned himself into a woman. Who knows what these alien deities could do if they sneak in!"
"It's inevitable, unless Lin Bai guards the bridge himself. The Magpie Bridge Guardians are all mortals. There are plenty of ways that Cultivators or deities can trick them. I guess our world is already infiltrated like a sieve. The so-called 'Lord of the Three Realms' is a joke. Lin Bai simply doesn't have the power to control so many worlds; he's the real culprit behind all this chaos."
"Yes. Without him and his Magpie Bridge, no one could have intruded into our world to stir up trouble. We could have peacefully played our games, free from losses and unnecessary disputes, without fearing for our safety in our own world..."
"You think our world deserves to be harmed by you?"
"DAMN! We caught an intruder."
"We've indeed been infiltrated. It's only been a few days, and they've already learned how to use the internet."
"I just don't understand your civilization; it doesn't mean I'm a fool."
「...」
In the live broadcast barrage, the audience enthusiastically discussed the emerging The Curse God, while also expressing their concerns about the risks the Magpie Bridge brought to the world.
However, they were just expressing their worries; the high-ranking officials in different countries were truly afraid.
Especially the Western Continent countries. They were genuinely being invaded by another world. If the divine spirits of the Western Continent launched a decapitation operation against them, no bodyguard would be able to stop them.
Just like Lin Bai's initial surprise attack, the top bodyguards, when faced with these non-humans, were useless. Even hiring Players wouldn't help, as their Levels were too low.
Officials of The United States regretted their earlier decision to ask Lin Bai to build the Magpie Bridge.
The gods' gambits completely exceeded their abilities.
However, once the Magpie Bridge was opened, they didn't have a say in closing it again. Lin Bai was not under their command.
Even if they arrested the Magpie Bridge Guard, Lin Bai had already connected the Magpie Bridge from the Continent of Gods and Demons directly to the Immortal World. This meant he had left a back door for himself and could re-establish the bridge at any time.
Facing the intertwined and complicated situation, the officials and tycoons in The United States felt like their country was a small boat in a storm, in danger of capsizing at any time. They felt utterly helpless.
Maybe the ultimate solution to the problem was for everyone to enter the game capsule and achieve the Undying Body.
However, this would also mean the loss of their power.
After all, who received the lucky accounts from the gaming company was not under their control either.
Making a bunch of privileged people slowly level up in the game world would be worse than killing them. After calculating all possibilities, Lin Bai winning this game was the best outcome for them.
「...」
What I hate most in my life is being threatened by others. Lin Bai swung his hand, chopping off The Curse God's arm. His knife moved swiftly, dividing an entire arm into strips of soul meat in an instant.
Unlike a real flesh body, even when divided, the soul's body is still connected to his Divine Sense. Noss screamed in agony repeatedly, "You Evil Spirit, I curse you! Your soul is bound to mine! All the pain you cause me will rebound onto you tenfold unless you acknowledge me as your lord and obey my commands! Otherwise, the curse will never be lifted!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Bai felt a tearing pain from his arm, as if someone was slicing through his flesh.
HISS!
Lin Bai instinctively stopped moving.
"You're scared, huh? I'm the weakest of the gods, yet also the strongest. No one can truly harm me," Noss boasted with a smile. "If I were you, I would immediately let me go, pledge your loyalty to me as your master, and heed my commands to rid yourself of the eternal curse hanging over you."
"There must be a way to lift all your curses, right?" Lin Bai asked.
"In this world, no curse is without a remedy," Noss replied. After a pause, he exclaimed, "What did you do to me? I didn't intend to say all that!"
"No one can lie to me," Lin Bai replied, inflicting another cut on him. When handling ingredients, one's movements could be slow but not stopped. He had no intention of letting this fellow go.
Furthermore, Lin Bai's Divine Soul was powerful, constantly repairing itself without ceasing. He could totally bear the pain that was merely tenfold.
The Curse God was indeed annoying. Despite his lack of offensive power, he was the only one who had truly harmed Lin Bai since his crossover.
Damn the curse!
Lin Bai's mind raced, contemplating a solution. The mission required him to either subdue or kill this god. Yet, this god had cursed him. If he killed him now, he might die as well. Therefore, the only option remaining was to subdue him.
"Master, let me handle it." Tuohai took out a kitchen knife from his storage ring, Flashed, and appeared beside The Curse God. "His curse targets only you; it doesn't affect me."
"You idiot! I curse you! The moment you harm me, you will die from a myriad arrows piercing through your heart! Unless you dig lava from the ground with your bare hands, the curse will never be lifted!" Noss mocked with an amused smirk, addressing Tuohai.
Tuohai froze instantly, holding his knife up high, unsure of his next move. From all angles, this The Curse God was giving off an eerie vibe...
"HAHAHA! As I've said before, no one can kill me. I'm the weakest god, yet also the mightiest god!" Despite the pain, Noss managed to laugh.
Gradually, the wedding scene became quiet. All eyes were on Lin Bai, waiting to see how he would deal with The Curse God.
After all, this so-called The Curse God was akin to Spoken Law Follows; every curse he uttered would come true.
「...」
"Continue the music, continue dancing. He's just a clown. My wedding won't stop because of him." Lin Bai looked towards the stage, his voice still calm and composed, seemingly unbothered by The Curse God's presence.
The music resumed. However, the stars on stage and the host all trembled with fear, daring not to glance towards The Curse God, worried that even the slightest movement would draw his curse...
"Noss, your curses can't be repeated, can they?" Lin Bai continued scraping Noss with his knife.
"..." Noss just lifted his eyelid, staying silent.
"If they could, you could have become the King of all Gods with just one curse," Lin Bai laughed.
"My curse does not need to be repeated for me to stand invincible," Noss said.
"You cannot curse the same person twice," Lin Bai continued.
"Nonsense! As long as a curse is lifted, I can cast it again! My enemies will exist in my curse, lifetime after lifetime, as long as I desire!" Noss retorted hysterically.
PHEW!
Lin Bai exhaled.
As expected, this guy did have a weakness. True to form as the weakest god. He turned to Xu Longyun, "Xiao Yun, come over. Kill him. I bestow upon you Absolute Suppression."
Xu Longyun took a deep breath, forcing herself to calm down. She drew a kitchen knife from her storage ring and flew to the side of The Curse God.
Hatred shone in her aged face. She reached out her hand and pressed it on Noss, activating Absolute Suppression.
After taking over from Lin Bai, Xu Longyun didn't hesitate and swung down with the knife, cutting off his other arm, venting her inner rage.
Noss let out a miserable shriek.
There wasn't a hint of pain on Lin Bai's body.
Noss roared hoarsely, "You stupid madwoman! Even if you chop me to pieces, I will still revive! I am undying! I curse all those here who are over thirty years old! If this madwoman continues to harm me, all of you will bear the pain of the Thunderbolt... AH!"
Another shriek.
The head of The Curse God had been cut off.
Yet his voice didn't stop. "Unless those present…" he managed to say before Lin Bai used a Skill—Silence.
The voice of The Curse God disappeared.
However, his mouth continued to move. Despite the Silence, it didn't stop. His eyes glanced at Lin Bai with a hint of surprise, as well as a glimmer of mania.
Lin Bai was stunned and quickly removed the Silence.
The voice of The Curse God resumed, "…turn women into men and men into women. Otherwise, this curse will never be lifted…"
When he finished speaking, the furious Xu Longyun swung her knife downwards again.
"Xiao Yun, stop!" Lin Bai hurriedly said.
The kitchen knife in Xu Longyun's hand just stopped above The Curse God's heart. Her eyes were filled with desolation. "My Lord Lin!"
"His curse has taken shape." Lin Bai shook his head at her.
"HAHAHA! You fool, you actually removed my voice, so nobody knows how to lift the curse! You're done for! I actually created an insoluble curse! HAHAHA!" Noss's soul-head floated to one side, laughing heartily. "I told you, no one can really kill a divine spirit!"
"Alliance Hierarch," a Player from Lin Bai's Fan Group stood up and shouted, "I can lip-read. He said that unless the men present become women and women become men, the curse cannot be lifted."
Upon hearing this, all the guests on the scene were in a flurry.
"Alliance Hierarch, think of another way! It's not worth it; the cost is too high!" An official from the Eastern Continent picked up the microphone and shouted at Lin Bai.
"Yes, Alliance Hierarch, if you let him keep cursing, we will face more and more restrictions," a Player said.
A Player's role is constant; unless they start a new account, they can't change gender. Even if they do, the game company does not give them the option to play as a female character.
The wedding venue was filled with not only Players but also many real-world celebrities and dignitaries, who were even less willing to undergo a sex change.
If Xu Longyun continued to strike at The Curse God, allowing the Thunderbolt to descend, no one would be able to bear it.
After all, all those present had witnessed that eighty-one-day Heavenly Tribulation. Who knew what serious consequences the Thunderbolt of this curse would trigger?
What if it triggered a Heavenly Tribulation?
No one would risk it.
「...」
In the crowd, the bishop looked at The Curse God, his eyes full of disgust. This curse had affected him as well.
"I advise you to let me go. Otherwise, the range of my curse will become larger, and the method to lift the curse will become easier..." Noss's voice abruptly stopped, and he cursed angrily, "Damn the Truth-telling Technique!"
The wider the range of the curse, the smaller the cost?
Lin Bai glanced at The Curse God and fell silent.
This guy's Skills were very annoying and had all sorts of restrictions, but it had to be said, they were really practical. Now, Lin Bai was more eager than ever to strip this guy of his Skills.
"Lin Bai, let me go. You can't harm me, and you can't kill me. What you should be doing now is proving your true love to the world, breaking the curse on your lover," Noss said smugly.
Xu Longyun looked hopefully at Lin Bai, opened her mouth, but couldn't bring herself to say a word.
"Break their curses and then allow you to lay down a second curse?" Lin Bai looked at Noss and said coldly.
"You have proven your strength to me. I won't force you too much," Noss said. "This is my way of survival."
"A curse?"
Lin Bai snorted and looked at Lady Hua Xi. Suddenly, he withdrew her into a Card and then released her again.
Just now, Lady Hua Xi, who looked like a skeleton, was restored by the Card and instantly returned to her prime.
"This is impossible!" Noss screamed. "There can't be another way to lift the curse! How did you do it?"
Lin Bai then took Hu Qing into a Card and released him, restoring Hu Qing as well.
"Impossible, absolutely impossible!" Lin Bai casually cracked his curse, causing Noss's spirit to ripple. "No one should be able to break the curse through another method…"
"There's nothing impossible. My Divine Power is beyond your imagination. Additionally, I have countless ways to kill you." Lin Bai chuckled. He took The Curse God from Xu Longyun, who was still shocked, and Flashed away towards the depths of Dashan. His distant voice came to them, "Xiao Yun, Qing Qin, let the wedding proceed. Once I settle this little incident with The Curse God at our wedding, I'll come back to complete the wedding ceremony with you."
「...」
The further away from the crowd they got, the more panicked Noss appeared. "Lin Bai, do you really want to kill me?"
"Yes, I want to kill you," Lin Bai confirmed. "No one who has humiliated me can leave unscathed. It's a matter of my dignity."
"But you'll die as well, and it'll be ten times more painful than mine!" Noss said fearfully.
"I have countless lives. Dying once doesn't matter much; I'll just be reborn quickly." Lin Bai demonstrated the Three Heads Six Arms technique in front of Noss, then sent two heads flying out. He then used the Three Heads Six Arms technique again, split out two more heads, and repeated the process. Soon, dozens of heads gathered around him. "Given enough time, each of these heads will grow into a new me."
Seeing the scores of heads surrounding him, Noss grew more panicked. "Lin Bai, I was wrong! You truly are a divine spirit; I shouldn't have provoked your dignity! Please accept my most sincere apology! We can cooperate. You possess the Divine Technique that can silence my curse. I use the curse, you silence it. Together, we can sweep across all divine spirits in the Continent of Gods and Demons..."
