"The only warrior?"
Lin Sanjiu sat cross-legged on the mattress she had prepared for the dimwit. She was surrounded by the ruins of a dilapidated house. She stared at Deun in front of her and repeated those words with a cold face.
Lin Sanjiu had already made up her mind to retrieve the mattress as soon as she finished interrogating Deun. If not for the fact that the last meal they had had was yesterday, she really wanted to punch him in the stomach and make him spit out everything he had eaten.
"Yes, the only one!" Deun did not seem to realize that he was in big trouble. He slapped his thigh and shouted, "Do you know how difficult it is to find a warrior? As a god, I can't create duoluozhongs directly. They have to kill each other to create a new duoluozhong warrior. However, the other duoluozhongs have already been taken over by the false gods. I only found one by chance … "
"That's enough!" Lin Sanjiu interrupted him, "I don't care about that. What are you?"
"I," Deun raised his chin. Following his movement, his eyes were like two glass balls, rolling a little more. "... am the only true God in this world, the only, the only glory."
Lin Sanjiu had heard the same words countless times, no matter how many Gods she had met.
"You can't even speak properly. You call yourself a true god," the grand prize sneered.
Deun had a strong will, so he was not affected by the grand prize's words. He continued to raise his chin.
Lin Sanjiu thought for a moment and suddenly summoned her [Nostradamus's Card]. She used it on Deun and absorbed it. The big man sat there and sniffed nonchalantly.
"As expected, it doesn't work." Lin Sanjiu wondered which specific god destroyed this world.
"Where did you and those false gods come from?" Lin Sanjiu put away the card and asked in another way, "Where did you and those false gods come from?"
"If you are willing to become my people, I will tell you." Deun suddenly lowered his eyes and smiled slyly, "Now that I don't have any warriors, you don't have to worry about becoming duoluozhongs. You just have to stay here and feed me and carve my statue …"
Lin Sanjiu was stunned. She exchanged glances with Ji Shanqing. The grand prize immediately frowned and asked softly, "Why do you always want the statue? What's the use of carving it? "
"You don't have to worry about that."
"If you don't tell us, we're leaving. You won't have anything to eat, nor will you have a statue."
Deun's face darkened. If Lin Sanjiu took a closer look, she would notice that there was a bruise on the right side of his face, and it was half as swollen as the left side. The bruise was caused by Lin Sanjiu's punches when he tried to resist her. As a God, he was only as strong as a posthuman, and he didn't have any Evolved Ability.
If Lin Sanjiu really stood up and left, there was nothing he could do.
"Alright," Deun finally muttered, finding a way out of the embarrassing situation. "When God hid his identity, you still respectfully offered sacrifices to God. For that, let the glory of God shine upon you and dispel your ignorance …"
"Cut the crap."
"Yes, it's like this." The big bloke moved his body and looked back and forth between the two of them. "It doesn't matter if it's a True God or a False God, they have to ask their people to worship idols … Every carving of a God's statue is equivalent to the materialization of a belief. With these statues, I will become more and more powerful as a God. My holy light will shine upon the earth …
Ji Shanqing interrupted his narcissism, "The statue increased your Divine Power? Then why don't you carve it yourself? You can carve as many as you want. "
"Haven't I been trying?" Deun gave him a sidelong glance as if he thought the question was stupid. "But I can't."
"Why?"
"If the statue is not carved by my people, it will lack the power of belief, so it won't have any effect on me. Also, my hands are clumsy."
"No, it's not just your hands that are clumsy." This thought flashed across both of their minds at the same time.
Lin Sanjiu looked at the wood on the ground. Suddenly, she had the urge to carve a statue of a god. She looked up and saw that the grand prize was staring at the wood as well. It was obvious that he was curious about the statue as well.
"How many statues do you have now?"
Deun paused for a moment as if he didn't like the question, "... None."
Lin Sanjiu suddenly recalled the time when she was in the City of Ants. There were so many statues of Deva all over the place. In comparison, this guy was a little embarrassing. "Why?"
"I used to have a few people," Deun seemed to have sensed that Lin Sanjiu was about to say something. His face turned red as he mumbled, "I stole them from the outside … I reformed them. However, after I carved two to three statues, the False God they worshiped came and took all my people away. If I wasn't smart enough to destroy all my statues, that False God might have attacked me … "
"You destroyed your statues?" Lin Sanjiu deliberately led him to continue, "What happened?"
"If a True God kills another True God, all the statues of the dead False Gods will take the appearance of the victor. Many False Gods kill each other just to get their statues," Deun patted his chest as if he still had some lingering fear. "Luckily, I reacted fast enough! That fellow saw that I didn't have a statue of a deity or any subjects left, and that there was no benefit in killing me, so he quickly left. Later on, for some reason, everyone started to call me Deun … "
In other words, it wasn't that the True Gods didn't want to come to this place, but they didn't want to come. Other than Deun, there were no "Inhumans" or statues here. To them, Lin Sanjiu and Ji Shanqing were probably more valuable than Deun.
"Why don't you have any people?" the grand prize added fuel to the fire.
"I'm not the only one!" Deun immediately retorted, "There are many False Gods who don't have any people or territories. They kill and plunder to get their statues … I'm a True God, I don't want to do that."
"You can't do it, right?"
Both of them looked at each other, but in the end, they didn't say it out loud. Lin Sanjiu asked a few more questions about how the world was destroyed, where did the True Gods come from, and so on. She realized that Deun didn't know anything about the origin of the world, but he still pretended to be mysterious and wasted a lot of time. She finally lost her patience and went straight to the point, "How do you kill a True God?"
Even though Deun was tall, he shivered when he heard Lin Sanjiu's question. His eyes rolled to the side.
"I don't know. How can a True God die … "
Lin Sanjiu didn't hide her excitement. She laughed, "Alright, let me try it on you. Let's see how you die."
"Wait!" Deun suddenly remembered the answer he didn't know. "How can you treat a True God like this? There are ways to kill a False God, but you should know that you can't use it on me … "
Lin Sanjiu raised one of her brows.
"When a False God's Divine Power is at its lowest, you can kill them with brute force," Deun mumbled after a long while. "Other than destroying their idols, you can also make a lot of idols for me. You don't even have to carve them, you can even draw them … As a True God, I can't tolerate False Gods."
Lin Sanjiu propped her chin on her hand and thought for a while. Suddenly, she turned to her grand prize and ordered, "Go and dig a handful of mud."
"What for?"
"Just go."
Even though the grand prize was a little obsessed with cleanliness, he couldn't resist his curiosity. He ran to the stream behind the village and dug out a handful of mud. He put it in a broken basin and brought it back.
Lin Sanjiu did not say a word. She released her Higher Consciousness and dragged Deun over by his ankle. Then, she pressed the back of his head with one hand and pressed Deun's face into the mud with a loud smack.
"When the mud dries, this can be considered a True God idol," Lin Sanjiu smiled at Deun, whose face was covered in mud. "Let's see how much your ability has improved."
Deun opened his mouth and the mud fell on his tongue. For a moment, he didn't know whether he should be happy or not.
