Emily looked at the sinister shadow behind Lette, feeling a chill down her spine.
However, when she glanced around, she noticed that the others seed unaware of the presence that resembled the God of Flesh and Blood.
Lilith noticed her confusion and gently explained.
"Don’t doubt it, that shadow really exists. However, one needs spiritual power at a certain level to see it.
The Mage Series and the Divine Curse System may need to reach Fourth Level Advanced, while the Warrior Series probably requires sothing like the Fifth Level Beginner."
"Then... what exactly is it?"
"An evil god’s statue, or rather a spiritual body. It’s the initial form of a Divine, especially those evil gods that start from nothing, they all go through a process from non-existence to existence."
Lilith pointed at Lette in the large pit: "Generally, evil god worship involves a symbolic object of the evil god.
For the Blood and Flesh God Sect, it is the growth flesh in Lette’s hand.
In the first stage, a vast amount of faith will converge on this symbol, thereby nurturing its initial spiritual intelligence.
In this process, the better the quality of the chosen symbol, the faster the birth of spiritual sense and intelligence.
A gemstone imbued with magic power will develop spiritual sense faster than a random stone you pick up. It’s that simple.
Of course, the Growth Flesh itself has a certain amount of spiritual intelligence, so its first stage is faster.
Additionally, it is in itself an extinction level containnt object, which has devoured a large amount of the alchemy body used by the Wisdom of Reason.
It’s considered a top-tier symbol.
But to have fostered the spiritual body in less than half a month, Lette’s ability to spread cult ideologies is truly terrifying."
Emily tightened her grip on the crowbar, the solid touch of the Physics Holy Sword bringing her much peace of mind.
"So, this is the second stage of the evil god, right?"
Lilith nodded: "Yes, it has attained its own inherent image. In such a way, the followers can perform rituals to the statue, their beliefs beco more concrete and solid."
The evil god absorbs faith faster and it is more conducive to the spread of faith."
"Then... the next step? What is the next stage?"
"Condensing the Divine Body. That is, possessing a truly existing body. From shapeless to tangible, and then to materialization.
The Primordial Fire we saw that day already has form and has even condensed Divine, becoming a Divine in the true sense."
As the two won chatted, the flesh armor on Lette had returned to normal. Although the appearance had not changed, it sohow felt more solid and powerful.
Clang!
The flesh in his right hand rapidly proliferated, transforming into a sharp flesh blade, causing the onlookers to gasp in shock!
By this ti, the Disaster Crocodile was already at its wits’ end, but it had no concept of retreat or escape.
Containnt objects are contained precisely because these entities cannot be communicated with in a normal way.
Lette didn’t intend to let this man-eating evil beast remain in the world, he charged straight at the attacking Disaster Crocodile, and at the mont the crocodile pounced, his form suddenly changed.
Imdiately after, a sliding tackle glided beneath the Disaster Crocodile, slicing it open with the blade in his right hand.
With a thud, the Disaster Crocodile flopped onto the pit’s bottom, struggled a few tis, then lay lifeless.
A tendril of flesh sprouted from beneath Lette’s flesh armor and drilled underground, beginning to madly consu the essence of the Disaster Crocodile’s at.
Seeing this, Lilith quickly tapped Emily: "Use magic to cover, hurry."
"Oh, oh, oh!"
Emily, though a step slow, had long since made significant progress following the two of them.
She imdiately swung the Physics Holy Sword in her hand, and in an instant, sand and stones flew, launching a frantic barrage towards the corpse of the Disaster Crocodile.
Her actions didn’t arouse the suspicion of the surrounding crowd, after all, this Disaster Crocodile had already resurrected several tis.
Taking the chance to annihilate it completely, even leaving no traces, gave the people more peace of mind!
The nearby believers, seeing this, also picked up stones one after another, furiously smashing them towards the Disaster Crocodile’s body. Even the spectators on the dike picked up bricks and stones, venting their pain and anger.
Amidst this chaos, Lette had already silently devoured the essence of the Disaster Crocodile and quietly departed.
He found a secluded alley, shed the flesh armor, and then quietly returned to the dike to reunite with Emily.
"Oh, the unnad hero is back?"
Lilith nudged Lette with her elbow: "How was the harvest?"
"Quite bountiful indeed! The power within this Disaster Crocodile is not to be underestimated, only that due to various reasons, its strength couldn’t be exerted.
It’s rated as Calamity Level primarily because of its lack of destructiveness.
If evaluated by preciousness, its level might be upgraded by one more notch."
Lilith was surprised: "No way, can such a mindless killing machine have divinity?"
"Not at all. But..."
Lette quietly explained to the two won: "The growth flesh is indeed immortal, but not regenerative. You see what I an?
Because the growth flesh has no fixed shape, if a part is wiped away, it’s wiped away.
The part you see growing back isn’t what it was; it’s because its whole body is the sa.
But the Disaster Crocodile is different. Its immortal attribute stems from the berserk limb regeneration ability found in reptiles.
aning, it’s a regeneratively immortal being.
If I cut off one leg of the Disaster Crocodile, it would regrow an identical leg.
The growth flesh originally lacks this effect.
But now, it has consud the immortal trait of the Disaster Crocodile..."
Lilith clapped her hands: "Were you already devouring during the fight?"
"Of course!"
"No wonder, it’s because of the immortal attribute with form that it complents the final shortcoming of growth flesh.
That’s why it has ford the spiritual body!"
Lette chuckled, "Absolutely correct, this ti we’ve truly struck gold. Otherwise, for the growth flesh, forming the spiritual body would have been much harder.
Additionally, look here..."
Lette spread open his hand, revealing a small piece of growth flesh. It remained that odd reddish hue, intermixed with hints of black.
But suddenly, this lump of flesh grew scales and claws.
So bizarre a sight made Emily’s scalp tingle, and had she not quickly covered her mouth, she might have scread.
"What is that?"
"It’s a new ability acquired! Flesh armor! Scale form! With it, I can disguise myself as a Lizard man, Crocodile man, or even a Half dragon."
Lilith was at a loss for words: "Are you addicted to this unnad hero role? At this rate, you’re really going to beco part of Harbor City’s urban legends."
Emily weakly asked: "With this thing becoming so strange, if you keep feeding it to the worker brothers... Wouldn’t there be problems?"
Lette pondered for a mont: "It’s fine, it’s all inactivated. Besides, their purity is too low! The at compression is insufficient.
But... it can’t be ruled out that if they improve their at compression level and have enough purity, they might also gain the flesh armor ability."
Emily imagined it, countless dock workers with already incredibly robust fras, completing flesh armor transformations like Lette just did.
Adding the newly acquired scales and claws, then striking poses in sync while shouting slogans, going against the enemy...
"...Is there any thod for mory cleansing? I want to entirely erase the scene I just fantasized about in my mind!
I never want to think of that again in this life."
"The way you put it makes curious about what exactly you imagined."
Lette retracted the growth flesh with a backhand flip: "I have a bold idea now!"
Lilith imdiately raised her hand to stop him: "I suggest you stop these wild thoughts."
"No, listen to first. I’m considering whether to collect other containnt objects or phenona with the immortal trait, then feed them all to the growth flesh.
I’m rather curious what sort of creation would co out at the end of it!"
"Catastrophe level containnt object?"
"It’s not impossible!"
Lilith sighed: "How should I put it, even though it’s not really right for as an outsider Demon to say this, but...
I’m begging you, spare this disaster-laden world?"
Lette waved his hand: "You’re overthinking it, I have quite the understanding of raising Pokemon and Digital monsters.
Don’t be fooled by my looks; I’ve earned many titles as a Pokemon Master and even won the League championship!
Everything devoured by the growth flesh is through Lette ’s rigorous selection!"
"Isn’t that even worse? You have the talent of making every situation more dangerous, don’t you know that?
Your Lette Selection only serves to make things even more uncontrollable!"
Lette thought it over and over, and only a smile appeared on his face.
Emily swallowed her saliva: "Oh no, he isn’t listening at all... That smile is clearly a ’I’m going to do sothing’ smile.
Lilith, what do we do?"
Lilith sighed: "Forget it. After all, the immortal trait isn’t so easy to co by. Even in the Demon Realm, true immortality is quite a rare trait."
Emily was puzzled for a mont: "Last ti you said it was the most marketable in Hell!"
Lilith grinned: "That’s pseudo-immortality, usually a curse. It’s like binding your soul to your body without release.
That’s vastly different from the immortal trait."
As they chatted idly, the venting below was nearly complete.
Seeing that the monster was no longer moving, everyone began clearing the debris off its body.
But after all the scraping, only a pile of rotting flesh and shattered bones remained, looking thoroughly dead.
Instantly, the crowd erupted in thunderous cheers.
Since the arrival of the fog, it was the first ti the residents of Harbor City felt such vindication, as though transcending lifetis.
Residents grieving for lost family mbers broke down in tears, while the people cheered for this hard-won victory.
Soon, Emily beca the subject of praise among the people.
After all, it was initially her who turned the tide. Throughout the process, aside from that evil god appearing from nowhere, she perford outstandingly.
Seeing Emily enveloped by the crowd, revealing a smile, Lilith nodded in satisfaction.
"It seems Emily has truly grown, and tonight she might even have a sweet dream."
"We can’t have that, tonight we’re heading to the Abyss of Nightmare."
