Chapter 747: Divine Logic
Chapter 747: Divine Logic
There must be other tricks up his sleeve!
Through the eyes of the bald middle-aged man, Snow Miser peered into Leon's calm heart lake, and his fists clenched involuntarily, making him feel tense.
The current "Tranquil" state was far from mature. If it were just a river of diluted Tranquil Bathwater, it would be impossible for it to help the entire Hot River City avoid the invasion of their Heart Lake abilities. At most, it would only delay the situation for a few hours.
By the time that moment arrives, when he has connected the heart lakes of hundreds of millions of lives, he will possess strength comparable to the directors of the Twelve Zodiac District Bureaus. Food God must have already realized this.
However, strangely, even in such a critical situation, his heart lake remained calm, without a hint of urgency. No matter how much he tried to stimulate it, it remained as stable as a lake of iron water, indicating that he had made a rational judgment and believed the situation was still under his control.
Moreover, what was even more disturbing than his unnervingly stable heart lake was that Food God didn't seem to be consciously suppressing his emotions. Snow Miser could still sense his worries, dissatisfaction, and disgust.
But when these emotions emerged from his soul and crashed into his heart lake, they couldn't even create a droplet of water. They quickly sank under the wash of rationality, turning into quiet, smooth pebbles at the bottom of the lake, unable to stir up even a ripple...
But how could this be possible?
...
Looking at Leon's terrifyingly stable heart lake, Snow Miser felt a chill running down his spine.
Most cleaners in the Purification Bureau had personalities far more sensitive than ordinary people and emotions that were hundreds of times more intense. This was what allowed them to give birth to their own anomalies. In terms of heart lake stability, they were sometimes even less stable than regular people.
Even the powerful Aquarius Marquis, when faced with the illusion of the Northern Border Queen's assassination ten years ago, created by Snow Miser in front of his eyes, had his heart lake stirred by the surge of intense emotions, making it impossible for him to completely escape the illusion.
In short, the stability of one's heart lake had little to do with their strength but was influenced more by their personality and emotions. Cleaners who could give birth to anomalies were bound to have unstable personalities and emotions, but he...
He was different! He was completely different!
As he was dragged brutally towards the pipeline furnace by the three-headed black dog, holding his head in its mouth, the "middle-aged man" widened his eyes, staring intently at Leon's back.
Finally, when the female cleaner blushed and jumped into the Hot River to start producing large quantities of Tranquil Bathwater, Snow Miser, who had been residing in the middle-aged man's heart lake, finally confirmed his shocking guess.
Leon Lien, the renowned Food God of the Purification Bureau and the cleaner that the Carnage King Society wanted to kill the most, had at least several divine lives under his command...
He hadn't even given birth to his own anomaly! He was just an ordinary human!
His heart lake wasn't that of a cleaner but that of a calm and rational human. The "scent" of a cleaner on him was purely due to long-term exposure to high-class anomalies, gradually absorbing their influence.
But how could this be possible?!?!?
After the second wave of similar thoughts surged in his mind, Snow Miser's gaze towards Leon was no longer that of looking at a human but rather at something wearing human skin.
In theory, even an ordinary person without an awakened anomaly, after prolonged exposure to anomalies, could still gain the "power" of a cleaner.
In prolonged exposure to anomalies, ordinary people who do not awaken to them have no chance of maintaining their sanity. They either successfully awaken to become "normal" Purifiers or succumb to the intense imbibition, gradually descending into madness. There are no exceptions.
Unless... he outright rejects this world!
Suppressing the urge to retreat, he glanced at Leon's heart lake, which was so stable it made the gods sick, and felt the stubborn, almost unimaginable rationality. Snow Miser's face twitched uncontrollably.
"Food God!"
Struggling to free himself from the dog's mouth, the "middle-aged man," drenched by the steam, shouted at Leon, who had turned back. "What are you trying to do?!"
"?"
Leon, who was watching the female Purifier bathe, frowned at the question. He glanced back at Snow Miser, whose head was clamped in the black dog's jaws, unable to escape from the middle-aged man.
What's wrong with this guy?
"You can't hide it from me!"
Snow Miser felt a chill at Leon's gaze, but then gritted his teeth and asked, "You never awakened an anomaly of your own, right?"
"Huh?!"
Leon, who was showering the entire Hot River City, was taken aback by the unexpected question.
Snow Miser confirmed his suspicion from Leon's surprised expression and couldn't help but widen his eyes, demanding, "So you don't acknowledge this world at all? Are you even prepared to destroy it? Is that it?!"
Huh?
Looking at the middle-aged man, whose words were firm, as if he had already confirmed his idea, Leon was confused.
Wait... How did you deduce from my lack of an anomaly that I plan to destroy the world? I can't seem to follow the logic in your statement.
"You can't fool me!"
Snow Miser gritted his teeth as he looked at Leon, standing in the dim corner above the Underground River, his aura as sinister and ethereal as a nightmare in the night. (The passive effect of the 【Nightmare is the Deepest Fear】 Emblem)
"An ordinary person without an anomaly can never withstand a true god-level anomaly. They'll only go insane from constant imbibition. It's impossible for them to remain as rational as you! So you've been crazy from the start! Only a madman who firmly believes in his own perception, denies everything from within, and even refuses to acknowledge the world can have a heart lake like yours that rejects all influence!"
"..."
Well... that's not entirely off the mark.
After hearing Snow Miser's words, Leon leaned back, realizing that although his reasoning was far-fetched and even sounded a bit stupid, it wasn't entirely wrong in some aspects.
For instance, he did find this world "unscientific," didn't quite agree with the way it "operated," and thought the chaotic state of the twelve kingdoms was downright insane. He had even been planning to take some action for a long time.
From the perspective of the natives of this world, his mental state and perception were indeed far from normal, making him a patient of "stable psychopathy."
