Chapter Seventy-Seven: Toom's Invitation
Because of the courage shown by David Ross and the spirit of taking risks and actually making death, Donkey still has some appreciation for this rock star whose brain circuits are very different from ordinary people.
Especially when he knew that he would stay and fight against "Navakenriz", with his legendary strength, even if he still held one or two divine objects, it would be absolutely impossible for him to survive, but he still chose to take the lead in the charge and let his partners save those lives in this universe first.
Of course, Navakenriz was invited by him by spraying Orside, the god of sorrow, in the face with "panacea droppings".
And he sprayed that mask to stop Orside from devouring the universe...... In short, this is a singer who despises all souls, dares to face death, and is not very smart.
Since he dared to say the famous phrase "Eat, worship of all spirits", he obviously would not care about Tang Qi, the existence of a god at a glance.
So in the next second, Tang Qi banned him.
David Ross has a violent temper, he stands on top of his miniature version of the "Rainbow Fart", and the curses are on his lips, but he can't spit them out anyway, but his face turns red.
Not only is he no longer allowed to speak, but even the singing voice that he has as a starry sky singer that can affect the universe cannot be uttered at this moment.
Fortunately, he soon came to his senses.
Turning his head to look at the battlefield, everything was quiet and frozen.
The terrible scene of killing and losing control was not born, and even the [Stone of the Broken God] that was about to explode returned to its untriggered state.
The pirates have already activated half of their "cosmic cutters" and are also out of flame.
"Passing by a powerful deity?"
"Meddled and stopped all this, and this god returned to the camp of order or neutrality?"
David Rose, who regained his composure, also regained his IQ by the way.
Then, he sensed a not-so-good omen of danger.
He jerked his head up, unable to see the face of the "mysterious spirit", but he had a strange sensation that the god was smiling maliciously.
Before he could give in and do something, a brilliant light fell on him.
With a slight tingling sensation, David Ross soon realized that he could speak, and opened his mouth freely.
"Quack!"
On the Rainbow Fart, a "frog" with a green body and only long blond hair on its head fell, emitting an extremely pleasant cry that resounded throughout the universe.
This scene was clearly seen by the other pirates.
They were stunned at first, and then subconsciously laughed.
Because they did not offend Donch, these pirates who had the courage and dared to sacrifice were not allowed to do so.
"Hahaha...... It's ugly, David Frog Rose. ”
"Quick, do you leave an image? This record is worth at least a legendary-level artifact, below this price, David, a fool, don't want to redeem it. ”
"It's time for David to change his name in the future, how is Captain Frog?"
"Hahaha!"
The group of battleships surrounded by the joyful atmosphere, as Tang Qi's thoughts moved, shrank to a certain proportion one after another, and gathered in front of the Fool Ship.
The group of mysterious pirates has reckless people like David Ross, and naturally there are some wise people with wisdom.
They had judged Tang Qi's camp long before David, and although they were still cautious, they did not make drastic moves in the face of Tang Qi's actions.
Of course, under the shroud of Tang Qi's divine brilliance, the pirates could not do much.
Tang Qi didn't look at David Ross, but looked directly at the largest steel battleship in the battleship group, with a strong mechanical god style.
The captain who was originally in the piloting area inside the battleship appeared in the starry sky in an instant with Tang Qi's thoughts.
It is a captain of the exotic race "Talled", with a head similar to that of the lizard race, with rough skin and purple-red hues.
He also had a stout, multi-colored mixed tail, a pair of large, black jewel-like eyes that could turn at will, full of wisdom and cunning.
He is a demigod-level powerhouse, and his profession is probably some kind of sorcerer who does not need to believe in gods.
"Your Excellency, Edmund greets you, this is the name of my Origin Star, which David gave me. ”
As he spoke, the captain lowered his head slightly, showing respect to Tang Qi.
Edmund is still carrying out the purpose of the mysterious pirate, and he does not call Donch "all spirits", but only as a well-meaning powerhouse.
No, like other beings, when they see a spirit, even if they are not the gods they believe in, they will maintain enough reverence.
Tang Qi clearly felt the signal from this "Captain Edmund", and he thought that he and Tang Qi were equal.
Realizing this, Tang Qi smiled.
He didn't mean to be detoured, he thought for a second, and then asked the pirates, including Edmund, "Do you accept the mission? The kind of ...... that are paid?"
As soon as Tang Qi spoke, not only Captain Edmund, but the rest of the pirates shook their heads.
They didn't convey any malice or contempt for Tang Qi, but Tang Qi's words seemed to touch on some of their principles.
On the rainbow fart in his hand, David Rose, who was in the state of a frog, suddenly let out a noisy "quack" sound.
As the caster of the Transfiguration Spell, Tang Qi could naturally hear the meaning of these croaks.
"A mysterious pirate will never make a deal with any of the spirits, neither order nor chaos. ”
This rule was in his ears, Tang Qi was slightly stunned at first, and then immediately restrained his smile.
Tang Qi seemed to be interested, he looked at the Captain Edmund seriously, and asked suspiciously:
"Although the infinite mystery is endless, it is impossible to completely avoid the 'Ten Thousand Spirits', and you refuse to trade with any One of the Ten Thousand Spirits, so what about your resources and supplies, are they all dependent on robbery?"
"If you encounter a crisis, such as being attacked by the spirits of the chaotic evil camp, and the orderly and good spirits are willing to help you, will you refuse?"
"It's like now, if I'm also a member of all souls, do you need me to leave immediately and restore the battlefield to its original state?"
Several questions, but Edmund didn't think for a second.
He blinked, flicked his tail a few times, and replied directly, "You're right, unless you hide in some hidden place forever, you can never avoid all souls. ”
"But that doesn't stop us from sticking to that principle, and that's the only one we have to abide by within our mysterious pirates. ”
"Although it can be bypassed, our resource supply includes not only looting, but also receiving various bounties, private commissions, and so on. ”
"There are some tasks that may come from a god, issued through a number of agents, and if they hide from us, they will be executed perfectly, and if they don't, they will be rejected by us. ”
"And in the current case, it's not a transaction, so it's not against the principle. ”
"As for whether you want to leave or not, it's up to you. ”
Hearing the answer, Tang Qi was not satisfied, and his tone gradually became dangerous, and he continued:
"So, it's a rule that can't be violated, but it's flexible, and it's still up to you whether to obey it or not?"
"Then let me ask again, what if I want you to accept my commission? If you refuse, I will let go of this big fellow, and by the way, I will also take this artifact...... Not only will this noisy guy die, but these living planets will also be destroyed, and you will have a chance to escape. ”
"I'll give you ten breaths to consider, ten, nine, eight......"
Without warning, the kind god who passed by changed his face directly.
While threatening the pirates, Tang Qi stretched out a hand, and without any hindrance, dragged a weapon with an extremely strange shape, but full of divine flavor, from the hazy light of the ship's lamp.
It was like some kind of "special spinning top", the top and bottom sections were very elongated, and it was completely pitch black, as if it was about to swallow all the light into it.
In the middle part, there are three black rings, one large and two small, which do not touch the cylinder and are constantly surrounded.
The area in the center of the black cylinder, which has expanded a little, is inlaid with a silver-white crystal.
The incomparably strong aura of divinity was permeating Tang Qi's palm, and fragments of relevant information were flowing in his mind.
[Divine Object: Cosmic Cutter. 】
[Status: Normal.] 】
[Information fragment 1: The same relic from the "God of Brokenness, Machine, and Death", with a high concentration of destructive divine power, is suspected to be the table knife of the God of Broken. 】
[Information fragment 2: It is not the only artifact, this kind of cutter, there are more than 30 known to exist, each of which is used differently, the one held by this group of mysterious pirates, the remaining number of uses: two. 】
[Fragment 3: It only serves one purpose: to cut the universe, and it cannot be used for anything else, even if you just want to use it to cut a piece of butter, it will refuse.] 】
[Information fragment 4: The user will automatically receive the constant usage rules when the cutter was born, including the strength of the knife, the posture, the angle when cutting the universe, etc., if you refuse, you will not be able to use it.] 】
......
"At certain moments, a fetish that can make a big difference. ”
Tang Qi's evaluation of the cosmic cutter is at the same time extremely real, releasing an aura that oscillates between good and evil.
In the eyes of the mysterious pirates, this is the unknown god passing by, revealing the true camp.
Chaos Neutral!
The pirates who are fighting within the boundless mystery naturally understand that the chaotic and neutral "spirits" are the most troublesome.
Because you can never figure out what such a deity thinks, maybe one second before and the next second, there will be a huge change.
For example, now, the front is still saving, and now it has been replaced by a threat.
And, act right away.
The originally solidified "Navakenriz" struggled more and more easily, and the whimpering sound became more and more turbulent, and he was about to get out of trouble.
David Rose, along with the Stone of the Broken God and the Cosmic Cutter, fell into the hands of the unknown god, and the pirates lost all chance to struggle.
According to common sense, they should have succumbed.
After all, it is a very good deal to take a commission from a chaotic neutral god, and it is the kind that is paid, in exchange for the survival of himself, his companions, and those living planets.
But the next moment, what Tang Qi saw was still a picture of shaking his head collectively.
Without waiting for David Ross to taunt, the mind banned him again.
The "Captain Edmund" he stared at, the cunning in his eyes, turned into determination.
"All souls may be exalted, but with us all things are created equal. ”
"If this rule could be rewritten so easily, then we would have been reduced to an ordinary, vulgar and transcendent organization, after all, all spirits possess incomparably powerful powers, and they can use coercion, deception, and other ways to make us violate our principles again and again. ”
"There are countless such transcendent organizations that serve all souls, and there is no shortage of us. ”
"Of course, I can reasonably accept the conditions, like some beings who love all things, after all, it is easy to be forgiven, rewarded and encouraged by being coerced to save lives, but then we can no longer say that we are free, let alone mock those who worship all souls. ”
As he spoke, the demigod captain slowly turned his head to look at the living planets.
The color of extreme sorrow appeared in its eyes.
"The equality of life lies in the fact that there is no escape from death. ”
"They may all die, but at least they will be alive until we die en masse. ”
"Fools, we're going to fight all souls again, yes, again. ”
"Boom"
The group of pirate warships that had been shrunk by Tang Qi ignited the tail flame again.
If the warships and ships of the major civilizations maintain their original form, this picture will be very shocking and will have a very warlike feeling.
But now, it only seems funny and tragic.
They were pitifully small in front of Tang Qi.
Not to mention dragging Tang Qi into the war, as long as he flicked his fingers and waved his palms at will, it was not difficult for the pirates to die en masse.
Their charge seemed pointless.
Of course, for Tang Qi, it has a lot of significance.
"It's bloody and boring to verify it this way, but it's quick and effective, isn't it?"
Tang Qi muttered to himself, and an immediate thought stopped the pirates' suicidal charge.
"This place freezes!"
Again, the universe is pressed the freeze button.
Only Tang Qi didn't, he began to make some moves.
Donch didn't say anything about their organization, their principles, or their behavior, but instead apologized to the pirates for what they had just done.
After that, put the [Cosmic Cutter] back into Captain Edmund's hands.
All the mysterious pirates, including David Ross, were in shock, apparently none of them had ever seen any of the spirits who would apologize, which was not in line with the "common sense" of the boundless mystery.
Tang Qi's voice was still ringing.
"I've been delayed for a long time, but I've learned your principles. ”
"It's good not to accept trades, right, so just make things feel less like trades. ”
Don Qi spoke to himself, and seemed to be about to do something.
He did it quickly, throwing David Ross back into the Rainbow Butt as a group of warships shimmered with a magical glow, following the traces of the battlefield that the main body could see, choosing a suitable spot at random, and then teleporting the energetic and mysterious pirates over.
In the process of leaving this universe, the pirates' voices sounded in their heads.
"You will passively go through several or a dozen universes, and you will encounter many poor beings who need to be saved. ”
"It's not a deal, so it's up to you to save it or not. ”
An incredibly concise passage with no other meaning.
But it sounded provocative to the pirates, and the pirates fell into anger.
But David Ross, who had returned to his ship, and Edmund, felt something else.
David Ross, who had returned to his human form, touched his chin and muttered, "Is it a delusion? Why do I always feel that guy is somewhat familiar, as if I have heard ...... there?"
As he spoke, David Ross subconsciously looked at the pile of debris on the side of the cabin, and there was a strange thing similar to a radio inside.
It was a strange thing he used to receive information, and it also included some of the connections he had left on the Origin Star, and occasionally passed on some more valuable and extraordinary news through it.
"Huh?"
David Ross didn't know what was going on in his mind, and his eyes widened.
At the same moment, Captain Edmund, holding the [Cosmic Cutter], was watching him.
He had a very certain feeling that there was something more in all the pirates, including him.
But with his demigod-level transcendent realm, he couldn't understand it at all.
He only has a vague perception, not a "gift".
"So, it's really not a deal?"
Captain Edmund hesitated.
......
The universe that seemed empty, Tang Qi, who threw the pirates away, had a smile on the corner of his mouth.
"Not free, but very enthusiastic and committed labor. ”
Some belated comments came out of Tang Qi's mouth.
At this time, a few fragments of information flowed through his eyes.
"A new forced narrative domain has been generated, [Salvation Must Be Rewarded]...... The only protagonist, the mysterious pirate, has accepted the invitation. ”
"This narrative domain will continue for some time...... During the time limit, pirates who match the development of the story will greatly increase their chances of earning as well as the riches, curiosities, or other extraordinary resources they harvest while saving lives. ”
"This narrative realm has been superimposed with fantasy authority!"
In the surging information, Tang Qi, who was carrying the ship's lamp, slowly turned around and looked at the "Navakenritz" who had failed to struggle and solidified again.
This servant god, who belonged to Orside, the god of sorrow, had no value in communication, because his essence was out of control, and he had nothing but the execution of oracles, including reason.
His value, in addition to the useless "out-of-control" divine power, is that Tang Qi can directly locate the "sad universe" possessed by Orside through him.
According to the information brought back by the three sisters of the cat and Thorpe, we are one of the members of the Light family, and Uodinger, who is in charge of happiness and power, was dragged into the Sorrowful Universe by at least seven gods, including Orsside, and the current situation is unknown.
Following the positioning, Tang Qi can sneak in, and maybe meet "Uodinger".
"It's just, what about after you see it?"
"Watching the war? or helping Uodinger get out of trouble, the latter's words are equivalent to me revealing my true body to directly participate in the war, not only to declare war on Orsides and other spirits, I am afraid it will also directly involve the fate, he will not allow my real body to participate in this war controlled by him, and my reason and motivation are not enough. ”
"I can do whatever it takes to save the innocent lives who have been affected by the war, but I can't do that if I am actually involved in a great war of all souls. ”
Under the stars, Donkey was lost in thought at the bow of the Fool's ship, and in front of him was a whimpering and weeping Navakenritz.
Seconds passed, and he still hadn't decided.
It was at this time that Tang Qi suddenly felt a familiar and unfamiliar throbbing, and in front of his eyes, the gray fog that was enough to cover all the secrets poured out without warning.
"The Mists of Fate?"
In Tang Qi's eyes, the astonishment had just been revealed, and he reacted immediately.
"It's the fog of fate, but it doesn't belong to that bitch, it's ...... Tum?"
At the same time that Tang Qi realized it, he also received an invitation from the master of the mist.
