Chapter 290: Blessing and a Touch
Chapter 290: Blessing and a Touch
It was over.
With a squint, Zhongnian Joshua gazed at the approaching Power Armor Squad, then at Lyon, who had suddenly knelt down in the distance and couldn't get up for a long time. Taking a deep breath, Joshua turned away with a hint of loneliness in his eyes, leaving without a second glance.
What happened next, he had witnessed countless times before.
The Radical Party member who had disrupted his plan, upon breaking free from the encirclement, was caught off guard by the Snake Spirit of the Scale Gold Sect. Not only was his Mental Shield broken, but his Immortality was temporarily sealed, leaving him without any trump cards to save his life.
Facing the approaching Power Armor Squad, he would struggle to resist, managing to take down two Power Armors before being mowed down by machine gun fire. He would be blown to pieces, his face unrecognizable, and then crushed into the mud by a falling Power Armor, leaving nothing behind.
The bastard who almost ruined my plan, goodbye, or rather... farewell forever!
"That damn black worm deserves a thousand cuts!"
Watching the little black snake inject its pale golden "venom" and seeing the veins on Lyon's arm gradually glowing, Hei Shanyang couldn't help but curse in anger:
"If it wanted to kill you, I could easily save you. But this damn worm played dirty! Not only did it not attack you, but it even blessed you, directly infusing a portion of the Sacred Spirit's origin into your veins!
Damn it! Our powers conflict, and until this origin calms down, neither my heart nor I can function properly. Your life-saving pendant was also chewed on by it!
Be careful, kid. You're in for a rough ride!"
"My heart's power is suppressed. I can't sense those prisoners dozens of kilometers away, and Dominate Substitute Death is useless. Although Endless Stamina still works, it's not as effective. If you lose an arm or a leg, it might take four or five minutes to grow back..."
"Damn that black worm! Back when I was a Great Demon, it wouldn't dare fart in my presence. Now it dares to play dirty right in front of me! If I had known, I should've dealt with it first..."
So that's what happened...
As Hei Shanyang cursed in anger, Lyon's entire body throbbed with burning veins, the pain so intense he couldn't even stand. A glimmer of understanding flashed in his eyes.
Joshua's arrival was likely not just his own will; it must have been influenced by the Water Bottle Director's plan.
The Sacred Spirit Pendant and the Heart of Wild Gaze in his possession were both anomalies registered with the Purification Bureau. The Water Bottle Director must have accessed his file and devised a targeted solution.
Perhaps the director paid a price to borrow the power of the Snake Spirit from the Scale Gold Sect to break through the pendant's protection. By granting Lyon a blessing, he bypassed and sealed the Pendant of Domination's Dominate Substitute Death effect, nullifying Lyon's Immortality.
However, Lyon hadn't reported the repair of the Battle Diagonal to the Bureau, and Hei Shanyang had directly damaged the director's ability, so the Bureau had no record of his true capabilities. Therefore, he hadn't prepared accordingly...
"Stop cursing and hurry up!"
Lyon rose from the ground and grabbed Hei Shanyang by the forehead. Gritting his teeth against the intense pain, he panted:
"Is Joshua still here?"
"Huh? Why are you looking for him?"
"I need to confirm if this is the real 'present' or the 'future' he saw. If I'm in the 'future' and he sees me alive, he might change his plans. So, I must ensure the future is closed!"
"..."
What?
What future? What plan? What closure?
Confused by Leon's explanation, Black Goat could only nod and mumble, "I see... That dog thing is gone. I didn't see it."
So, I left before witnessing my own death? This doesn't seem like a brief glimpse into the future, where one would try to gather as much information as possible. If that's the case, the "timeline" I'm currently in should be the real "present."
Realizing that the loop had been fully closed, Leon couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. He struggled to stand, determined to evacuate from this place as soon as possible.
However, after taking only a few steps, the searing pain that had been spreading through his veins overwhelmed him, causing him to collapse in a dizzying daze.
[The Scale Gold Sect's Sacred Spirit, the 'Life-Swapping Black Snake,' has consumed a portion of its origin power and personally bestowed upon you a blessing from the Sacred Spirit. You have obtained the Silver-level Identity Badge, 'Scale Gold Divine Chosen (Wealth Devourer).']
[Scale Gold Divine Chosen (Wealth Devourer): Having gained the favor of the Scale Gold Sect's Snake Spirit, you are the chosen one of the Wealth Devourer lineage.]
[Equip Effect: Status equivalent to a Scale Gold Sect Bishop Candidate, with the qualification to run for the position of Scale Gold Sect Bishop. When a Bishop position in the Wealth Devourer lineage becomes vacant, you can directly ascend to the position.]
[Advancement Path: None]
[Hidden Trait (No need to equip): As a human favored by the Snake Spirit, when you offer your own money to purchase life, talent, and other items from the Snake Spirit, you will receive a certain discount.]
...
Although he knew the snake wouldn't grant him a useful blessing, the uselessness of this blessing still exceeded his imagination.
After struggling out of the pain that nearly burned through his veins, Leon couldn't help but click his tongue in disbelief as he read the new badge's traits and effects.
To become a Bishop of a particular lineage, one must gain the recognition of the corresponding Sacred Spirit. But he was an enemy of the Scale Gold Sect, so it was absurd to think that the Snake Spirit would recognize him as a Bishop. Even if he were to eliminate a Bishop and directly ascend to the position, the Snake Spirit could replace him with a mere thought.
As for getting a discount when buying from the Snake Spirit, that was even more ridiculous.
Putting aside how absurd this damn snake must be to sell something to an enemy, the prices set by the Scale Gold Sect were far beyond what a small civil servant like him could afford, unless he were to extort the Ryan family's old butler or outright grovel at the princess's feet... Hmm, what was that?
As Leon regained his mobility and prepared to leave, something shiny caught his eye.
He followed the glint curiously and saw that the object reflecting the sunlight was a pair of silver-bright buttocks, and nearby lay the thermos that Commissioner had brought from the neighboring room, originally belonging to Piony's predecessor.
"..."
Oh... Should I touch it?
Leon hesitated for a moment as he looked at the buttocks shimmering with metallic luster in the grass, then extended his right index finger and cautiously poked the side of the buttocks, away from the gun and eggs.
"Zzz..."
