"I don’t know either. These are all ssages transmitted back by Crystal Poison. I have no idea how it actually works. However, there seems to be a commonality in the Apostles’ armor; there appears to be so special structure within them. Maybe that structure could help them temporarily break free from control?" Belle said.
"When is their next gathering? Let’s go take a look!" Long Yi said.
"In three days, my Crystal Poison told , they’ve agreed to hold another small gathering in three days," Belle said.
"Then we wait three days! We don’t have much ti left. It would be best to resolve these troubles as soon as possible."
"Let’s hope so."
During these three days, Long Yi was not idle, constantly engaging in secret operations. He brought more and more Worm Apostles under his control, but so far, he hadn’t found any Worm Apostle with the intention to resist the God of the Worms. Could it be a mistake?
The ti of three days arrived. Eleven Worm Apostles gathered at the secret eting place—the La Sang Family’s secret conference room.
It was then that Long Yi rembered; he still had his own people in the La Sang Family.
Long Yi contacted La Sang and found that he was still around. Initially, Long Yi thought the Worm Apostles would carry out a major purge here, eliminating everyone associated with him in the past. Unexpectedly, La Sang was unhard.
"I’m so glad to see you, my master." La Sang’s consciousness, derived from the Ghost Spirits created by Elsa, naturally regarded Long Yi as his master.
"Tell what exactly has happened recently." Long Yi was eager to know the details of everything that occurred here.
"Yes, master. About twenty days ago, those Worm Apostles started using this place as their secret eting room, discussing how to break free from the control of the God of the Worms. Although the conference room is isolated by magic and no information can be monitored, there is a special chanical device beneath to record sounds. So I know exactly what happened."
"These Worm Apostles have a special device inside their armor. Once activated, it can suppress the consciousness of the God of the Worms, and they then obtain temporary freedom. They have made a large number of such devices with the aim of rescuing all the Worms attempting to rebel against the God of the Worms," La Sang said.
"It’s a strange notion, after all, they’re still Worms. Why make it so tragic?" Long Yi was puzzled.
"According to their own claims, among all Worm Apostles here, only the three High-level Apostles who issue orders are truly directly controlled by the God of the Worms. They seem to be able to contact the God of the Worms through special ans. As for the other Worm Apostles, they’re basically just cannon fodder, just to buy ti. Once the Plane of Dragon Star opens up, the three High-level Apostles will imdiately converge with the projection of the God of the Worms, and this race will be cast aside as the Vanguard. As for the ordinary Worm Apostles, they will beco the controllers of this race, perishing together with the allied forces of the Heaven Realm. Therefore, they decided to rebel. In fact, as ti draws closer, they themselves are very nervous, and once they fully initiate hostilities, death would almost beco their destined end. So they’ve recently planned to take a risk at seizing control, and after gaining control, they’ll discuss terms of peace with you."
"To achieve this, they incorporate a hidden segnt in every ssage they transmit to their kind, and any Worm Apostle that can read the hidden segnt will actively seek out their help."
Hidden segnts?
At this mont, Long Yi had already copied the consciousness of a Worm Apostle, but he evidently overlooked sothing.
Even Long Yi had to admit that the God of the Worms truly considered various matters very thoroughly, seemingly leaving no stone unturned.
However, it made thousands of calculations but still failed to account for one thing.
Long Yi was here.
"First, I need to infiltrate."
"Then, I must find out exactly what has happened."
"Finally, I’ll kill everyone who is against , whether it be human, worm, or god!"
To join here, it doesn’t matter if you don’t have the hidden fragnt; you’ll have it soon.
At this mont, not all the Apostles attending the eting had arrived. Long Yi imdiately released his worm fluctuations, signaling to everyone that he had arrived.
Sure enough, the worm Apostles attending the eting imdiately and cautiously transmitted a set of fluctuations as a greeting. If Long Yi hadn’t been prepared, he might have missed the hidden ssage buried within these fluctuations. The ssage was simple: as long as one could replicate the ssage and send it back, they would know he was one of them.
Copy the ssage and send it back.
Soon after, a worm Apostle approached quickly. Without any excess fluctuations, he walked straight toward Long Yi and suddenly attached a small device to the back of Long Yi’s armor. Long Yi forcefully restrained himself from attacking, as he noticed that this worm Apostle also had such a device on his back.
Then ca a series of obviously relieved worm fluctuations:
"Turns out we’re all brothers, you scared us to death."
"Yes, yes, I thought those three bastards and their lapdogs had discovered our actions."
"As long as it’s one of us, there’s no problem. Let him in."
Inside the secret eting room, Long Yi saw several worm Apostles, all with the sa devices on their backs.
"It’s great to see new mbers joining us, especially at this critical mont. The more new mbers join us, the better our chances of winning," said a worm Apostle.
"That’s right, that’s right. The hidden ssage we sent can only be sensed by those with the consciousness to resist. You are all gathered here because you possess such a consciousness," another worm Apostle said.
"Ah, after all, this is a battle between that so-called God, Giant, and Simu. We used to have to obey orders and not step out of line. But now that we have fused with our hosts, we naturally have the right to resist. After all, this is a war between gods, and we can only be considered ordinary lives now. It manipulates our consciousness to serve itself, and ultimately we’re just cannon fodder, as you all should know. This universe’s Creator God Simu and Long Yi are true gods. Especially Simu, who holds the Genesis Artifact, and that guy nad Long Yi, you and I should be even more familiar with—various erging technologies."
"We’re increasingly being suppressed on the battlefield outside. We’ve recently learned that those three High-level Apostles are planning a final gamble. When the seal on the Dragon Star plane by the Genesis Artifact is lifted, they plan to brainwash the entire race of The Forgotten Ones, and then have us maintain the effect of the brainwashing, leading the warriors of The Forgotten Ones to launch an assault on Long Yi."
"It’s clear we’ve been abandoned."
After the worm Apostle finished speaking, every worm Apostle present was filled with indignation.
"Then, can’t we just run away?" asked the worm Apostle disguised by Long Yi.
"That’s going to be difficult, you’re new here so you don’t know. First of all, we don’t know how those few High-level Apostles will issue the orders. If it’s just a direct order, that would still be good. What we fear most is that they will issue a fusion order, demanding that the Apostle’s consciousness swallow our original consciousness and turn us into puppets. Then our shielding device will also beco ineffective," said the worm Apostle.
"So, what do we do?" another worm Apostle asked anxiously.
"My suggestion is that we make a deal with Long Yi, to create an opportunity for Long Yi, a chance to defeat the three High-level Apostles. Once the three High-level Apostles are defeated, we can have Long Yi help us break free from control," a worm Apostle said.
"Would Long Yi agree to such a deal?" asked a worm Apostle.
"He will agree, who doesn’t want the war to end smoothly?"
