Chapter 865: 863: Stone Platform, Jin Aura, and Challengers
The Golden Lung Venerable manipulated the flow of the world’s gases through his breath to transmit his voice across the entire world. His words caused the rapidly spreading epidemic groups to slow their pace and turn their attention to this group of outsiders.
If it were ten years ago, the Patients would have deeply doubted the intentions of these outsiders,
but after William’s "False Moon Performance" in the Old World three years ago, he inford and demonstrated to all Patients the true threat from the world beyond, "Evil," and even bestowed so Audience mbers with external powers through the Clinic on the Moon.
Moreover, many Silver Circle powerhouses have either seen or mastered abilities related to Divinity, deeply understanding that the external system can significantly enhance their own epidemics, even creating entirely new avenues of developnt.
Most importantly, .
The new Plague Lord, the Madman King, the initial Completion, William Behrens, decisively abandoned his developnt and prospects in the Old World when he beca the Plague Lord and directly traveled to the external world.
This intrigued the other Plague Lords about the outside world, as none of them wanted to be surpassed by this newly appointed Plague Lord, William.
For these reasons,
The Silver Circle Patients around the world were very interested in the words of the Golden Lung Venerable, and various Source Epidemic Areas began to take action.
Whether they had established a base in the New World or were still active in the Old World, as long as they had reached the Silver Circle Level, they took action to move towards the location given by the Golden Lung Venerable.
Even if they didn’t participate in the so-called test, they wanted to personally see what a god outside their world looked like.
Wherever there are people, there is business. The Duke’s caravan also set out imdiately.
Zede, Marko, and Martin, along with the Parasite Nash, first chose to return to Zion. After a eting discussion, Zion still prepared to prioritize self-developnt. There would certainly be a large gathering of Patients, the opportunities were not many, and it was inferred that these gods might co again later, so there was no need to rush.
Therefore, the ones who chose to go to the "Platform" were still only the aforentioned three people, plus Reagan. Principal Desline was eager to see the outside world.
Because of the Principal’s presence, the five-person team did not need to hurry. They could simply use group spatial teleportation to reach the position near the "Platform."
Before Desline collaborated with the Stargazer to set up a stable Transmission Array,
The new Parasite Nash, without anyone noticing, suddenly crouched on the ground, sniffing frantically with his nose near Desline’s leg, especially close to her foot, occasionally stretching out his tongue to lick the ground she stepped on.
This action was imdiately deed perverted, and a stomp infused with Falling Stardust directly landed.
Click!
Nash’s head was stomped into the ground over two ters deep, but the face that was trampled only had its skin broken. His bones seed to have rged with Special Iron Chains and were completely unhard.
Nash was not angry at all, instead seizing the opportunity to make zero-distance contact with the Principal’s sole, achieving his ’goal.’
When the Principal pulled her right foot out of the ground, she directly pulled Nash out of it as well.
He had already put his nostrils directly on the sole of her foot, excitedly shouting.
"Indeed...Indeed, it has the Boss’s scent! Although it’s very faint, it’s definitely there!
Hello, ma’am, you must be very familiar with Boss William, right? I’ve been trying to capture the lingering scent of the Boss since I entered the city, and it finally got caught when I t you."
After confirming the scent, Nash did not pester the Principal further, sitting aside with a silly smile.
"What is your relationship with William?"
"He is my boss. I’m his deputy! It’s been two years since Boss left;
I was almost sick... This ti, finally slling so of the Boss’s scent, my mood has improved a lot!"
"William used to be my student. We frequently discussed Stargazing together."
"Oh! Boss has components of Platinum Blood in his body and is proficient in Star Secret Techniques, through which he developed his unique ’Abyss Transmission’ by combining with the Abyss.
So that’s it~ Since you are also the Boss’s teacher, I will definitely protect you well!"
"I don’t need your protection, thank you."
Desline continued focusing on the drawing of the Transmission Array. Although her expression didn’t change, internally she was amazed at Nash’s strength. Her sole was faintly aching due to the previous stomp.
She had never stepped on anything so hard;
it was like stepping on the surface of an iron chain that stretched thousands of ters.
[Array Activation]
The five of them instantly arrived at a marine region from within Zion, appearing several hundred ters above sea level. The gathering Patients exceeded expectations, swarming densely around them.
About a kiloter away on the ocean surface, there was a "Square Stone Platform" built by outsiders.
The dinsions were only 100100m, with no Audience seating. It seed the vast sea and sky around were reserved for the ’Audience.’
The elderly man in a golden robe and ten individuals exuding various Divinities had already taken their stand to await them at the venue’s edge.
Although nothing seed to surround the Stone Platform, a faint golden mist of approximately ten ters in depth was separating it.
This seemingly ordinary golden mist actually halted most Patients’ steps.
So Silver Circle Patients trying to approach the Stone Platform had the ’qi’ within them drawn away imdiately upon touching the golden mist! All life reactions ceased at once, and the parts touching the mist instantly necrotized, forcing them to retreat.
Obviously.
Only those who could penetrate the golden mist had the qualification to step onto the platform and communicate with this group to receive subsequent rewards and opportunities.
At this mont, the elder’s voice echoed from the surrounding space once more.
"It seems everyone from the Pathology World is very enthusiastic, so many people ca here in just half an hour. Now, let
first talk about the true purpose of this visit, as well as the ans of providing opportunities and rewards.
You likely already know, a ’substance’ capable of threatening all Planes is spreading, and it is difficult to eradicate.
We are conducting ’talent recruitnt’ on a full Plane scale. Anyone selected will have the qualification to go to the core city of the Main Material Plane, enjoy all citizenship rights, and learn about the Multi-Universe’s knowledge, with particularly outstanding individuals even obtaining ’Divine Status.’
For you, the Plague Expressers, and considering our previous misunderstandings and invasions of you, apart from recruitnt, I will also provide so rewards as compensation.
It may be material, or it may be so privileges, depending on the situation.
This is our first ti conducting a ’talent screening’ at the Pathology World. Since we are not very aware of your current strengths, making suitable rules is challenging, so we will use a ’battle mode’ for screening.
The screening will be limited to ten individuals.
If this screening goes well, more opportunities and world exchanges will co soon.
Furthermore, as your judge, I will do my best to avoid ’Death.’ If the Patient loses their ability to act, I will imdiately remove them."
The Golden Lung Venerable’s voice carried such a ’peaceful feeling’ that all Patients who heard him felt at peace, even those who hated the outside invaders were sowhat mollified by it.
The golden mist surrounding the Stone Platform was quite high in intensity, and likely only Silver Circle Patients with ’Under the King’ strength could pass through unaffected.
Even if ordinary Silver Circles pushed with difficulty through it, few would have the strength for more challenging duels.
Most Patients of ’Under the King’ status were already affiliated sowhere, and if selected, they would be leaving the Pathology World, so they naturally needed to consider this matter carefully.
In the distance, Mr. Fear and Magician Jian from the Fear Circus silently watched.
On a distant continent,
within a newly established estate shared with the Skin Factory, the Great Emperor was watching it all intently with twin golden eyes. He had no plans to leave the Pathology World at the mont, just watching the show.
He disdained to travel to the Main Material Plane through such ans but would do so on his own.
He didn’t care to travel to the Material Plane this way;
he was simply spectating.
The ocean exploded.
A giant shark leaped from the ocean surface, its body more than a thousand ters long, and transford into the shape of a man mid-air, using a water film covering his entire body to resist the corrosion of the mist, and landed stably on the Stone Platform.
It was unexpected to see that he would be the first to appear;
this ancient shark with skull-shaped barnacles covering its skin.
