Looking at his silly appearance, Huai Shi suddenly felt like he was looking into a mirror.
But when he lowered his head and saw his sharp claws, and when he looked back at his blade-like scales and tail, he scratched his nose, creating a large amount of blazing sparks. Huai Shi finally came to a realization.
Oh my god, I've become a dog again!
What the hell! What's going on! What's going on!
Huai Shi did not feel good at all!
It was fine that he had inexplicably become a dog, but the problem was that the dog had become him!
Now, in front of Huai Shi's eyes, on the tower, he was squatting on the Sunmaker's throne. He raised his legs and swept his ears. After a satisfied yawn, he stuck out his tongue and licked the skull of the skeleton.
Enough! Brother, enough!
Don't f * cking lick me anymore!
Huai Shi looked at his image rapidly collapsing. He remembered that tears were about to come out of the dog's head. He felt sad.
"Tongi, save me!!!!"
"Ah, this …"
Tongi was stunned for a long time. She looked at him and the dog with schadenfreude and could not help but roll around in laughter. "Silly boy, I can't help you even if I want to."
"What's going on!"
"Isn't this the rule of the land?" Tongi wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes. "[Reversal of Gains and Losses]. So this is what it is? Hahahaha … Hahahaha … I see … "
"Don't keep me in suspense!"
Huai Shi barked.
Immediately, 'Huai Shi' on the opposite side barked as well. It seemed to be scolding someone …
"Well, to put it simply, you seem to have … won the lottery again, hahahaha." Tongi could not stop laughing. "Three forks in the road, maze, night, secret, and door. I think I know what's going on. Huai Shi, this is the temple of the Goddess of Witchcraft, Hecate!"
Hecate, a hidden existence in Greek mythology, was a goddess rarely known to anyone other than the twelve main gods.
In reality, his background was shockingly great.
There were many scholars and alchemists who suspected that this goddess was just a puppet of another god system. Tracing back and analyzing, it could be found that this goddess once had the authority of the sky, the earth, and the sea. She even vaguely had a huge influence in hell.
"Sigh, now that I think about it, she was really a difficult woman to deal with. Although she was an autistic person with social phobia, it was troublesome to communicate with her. No matter what I said, she wouldn't listen. She was simply the ultimate paranoia. Later, when I found out that she died, I sympathized with her for a long time."
Tongi seemed to have accidentally dropped another important piece of news, but Huai Shi, who had turned into a dog, didn't want to listen to it anymore.
"So, what does this have to do with me turning into a dog?"
"Although it's a long story, let's keep it short." Tongi thought for a moment, then happily explained, "Do you know why the gods are working together?"
"Hmm? What do you mean? "
"Simply put, why do we need to form a divine system? Huai Shi, have you ever thought about this? " Tongi said, "Imagine if you were a god, born with power, and not eating the food of mortals. Although there is a limit to your lifespan, it is still so long that you can't see the end of it in a short period of time. If you have time to eat and drink, why do you have nothing better to do and work with others?"
"Nothing better to do?" Huai Shi scratched his head. His paws rubbed against the dog's head, making a sharp sound. But soon, he realized the answer. "Destiny?"
"Yes. Imagine that you, Huai Shi, are a kindergarten auntie who has to take care of children every day. But you are also a kindergarten security guard and have no time to do anything else. At this time, someone comes to you and tells you that he can help you protect the kindergarten, but you have to take my child with you. What would you think?"
"You mean, it's a win-win situation?"
“bingo！”
Tongi snapped her fingers with her little wings. "If there is such a thing as a social history between the gods, then this is probably the embryonic form of a divine system. Everyone has their own strengths and needs. In order to fulfill their destiny and satisfy their own desires, they choose to work together.
A chef, a kindergarten teacher, a security guard, and a handyman aunt work together. They form a kindergarten and compete with other kindergartens for business … "
Tongi smiled meaningfully. "The competition between the gods is also quite fierce. There was a period of time when everyone was seriously involved in the internal affairs … This is a digression. In short, the existence of a divine system is based on the union between the gods.
Take Olympus for example. Everyone has their own division of labor, and at the same time, the internal struggle is fierce. From the first generation to the second generation, the second generation to the third generation, until the third generation completely established a stable structure.
After killing his father, Zeus and Poseidon reached an agreement with his unlucky brother Hades. Zeus, as the Lord of the Sky, had supreme authority. Poseidon ate the biggest piece of meat and ruled the ocean, while the unlucky Hades could only work with Nix to suppress the revival of Chaos. After he went to hell, he became a black glove that did the dirty work for the gods …
In short, Zeus became the CEO of Olympus, Poseidon was in charge of finance, Hades was in charge of risk control and internal elimination, Hera, the head of the Audit Department, Hephaestus, the head of the Equipment Department and warehouse manager, Hermes, the head of the Information Department, and the three Fates were in charge of human resources … The head of the R&D Department was Hestia, Zeus's sister, in name. The real controller was Lady Hecate, the goddess of concealment. "
Tongi finally revealed the puzzle. "In Olympus, Hecate and Hestia controlled the witchcraft and magic of the old era. In the present, it is one of the origins of alchemy …"
After hearing this, Huai Shi fell into a long daze. After a long, long time, he could not help but become angry. "But what does this have to do with me turning into a dog?!"
"I'm almost there. Can't you wait a moment …"
Tongi calmly flapped her little wings. "The authority that Hecate has is sacrifice and dedication. If we use the term alchemy to describe it, then it is one of the basic rules of modern alchemy.
You win some, you lose some! "
"What she is good at is reducing losses and increasing results, or achieving results that could not be achieved by multiplying losses. This is the meaning of the reversal of gains and losses, Huai Shi."
Tongi said with a faint smile, "Sometimes, what matters is not what you gain, but what you lose …"
Huai Shi was dumbfounded. He lowered his head and looked at the dog's head in the mirror.
What did I lose?
Humanity?!
But then, his expression stiffened. He looked at himself, who had a silly look on his face, and faintly came to a realization.
"You mean … that stupid dog is the price I paid for losing it?"
"From the perspective of alchemy, this is true, Huai Shi." Tongi chuckled. "Don't tell me that the current you isn't the result of many sacrifices?
Everyone who wants to grow must experience setbacks and pain, and must give up some things.
This is what the so-called adults are like.
From the perspective of alchemy, don't you think that after going through the tempering of the furnace of fate and abandoning the naivety of the past, you forged your current self?
"In your Origin Equipment, Bechymos represents pain. It combines with the beastly side of your nature and represents your qualifications after solidifying. It can be said that it is the embodiment of your beastly nature. Although your beastly nature is the same as your true self, it is always silly and cute. Hahahaha.
If other alchemists were here, they would at most find that the price they had to pay for their alchemy would multiply, and their alchemy would become uncontrollable. But the one who was matched with this arena is you … No, it should be said that it is precisely because of you that you were matched with this arena, right?
In the secret ritual of today's showdown before the gods, all karma will be magnified thousands of times. You might have been favored by Hecate's divinity.
'Everything is a link of fate', isn't it? "
This was the [Reversal of Gains and Losses]!
The results of alchemy and the price paid had been switched.
Huai Shi, who was the result, and Bechymos, who was the price, had been inconceivably swapped!
Huai Shi seemed to have vaguely grasped something in his heart.
But when he thought about it, he couldn't figure it out.
But he couldn't help but inwardly breathe a sigh of relief. At best, this was just a restriction brought about by the arena. Once the showdown was over, it would naturally be swapped back.
But the problem now was …
How was he going to fight?
Huai Shi raised his head and happened to meet the eyes of 'Huai Shi'.
Just like the malevolence and cruelty in Bechymos' eyes, 'Huai Shi', who was sitting on the throne of Sunmaker, had a chilling glint in his eyes that made people shudder.
A strong fighting spirit rose from between the two towers.
It stirred the clouds.
At that moment, the war, the war had begun!
.
Twenty minutes later, on the battlefield, the park guards roared and bellowed at the lizard giant that was close at hand. The lizard giant waved its hand and panted heavily. Behind it, the army of ten thousand roared with all its might.
"Holy!" (Snatch the landlord!)
"Holy!!" (Don't snatch!)
"Holy!!!" (Double!)
"Holy!!!!" (Super double!)
Only the dumbfounded skeleton sitting in the middle looked at the cards in his hand and scratched his Mohican blond hair. His face had long been covered with tinfoil strips.
This game is so complicated. How do I play it?
Just like that, the fifth round of the Helios Landlord Tournament began again.
At the side, Wrath, who was so bored that he was lying on the ground, glanced at Compassion beside him and threw a glance, as if asking, "Are you stupid?"
Compassion gnawed on the poisonous grass under his feet, thought for a moment, and nodded.
To be honest, he was indeed stupid …
"I feel like someone is scolding me?"
On the Dragon Tower, Huai Shi raised his paw and scratched his dog head, puzzled.
But then, his movements stopped in place as he felt a violent tremor engulfing the whole of Helios.
The earth roared!
A terrifying loud noise accompanied by a blazing light rose from the distant fog into the sky. After tearing everything apart, it surged into the sky.
The countless blood-colored lights, like burning flames, converged and turned into a wriggling abstract hand, reaching toward the darkness of the universe.
Little by little, it once again challenged the sun hanging high in the sky!
In an instant, a vision shrouded the whole of Helios.
The upheaval came suddenly.
Huai Shi looked up, stunned, and his tongue stuck out.
"Oh my god, Tongi, come out and see God!"
Tongi didn't say anything.
It was just that her expression gradually became subtle.
What was this?
Should I say … as expected of a grandmaster?
