As Dragon Lady Sonya had teleported to the Dim Moon before us, she had already disappeared by the time we arrived. Icetis had sent a louse spirit to follow her. However, Icetis didn't monitor the louse spirit's movements the entire time. After all, not everyone could maintain the same passion of peeping 24/7 like Lin Xue. So, after confirming that Sonya hadn't arrived at the Dim Moon Lord's palace, Icetis temporarily shifted her gaze away from the louse spirit.
However, in such a short time, something happened to her.
"What's the situation?" Seeing the urgent expression on Icetis's face, I couldn't help but become nervous.
"It looks like she was poisoned or injured," Icetis suddenly stood up, a golden halo slowly swimming in her eyes. She was communicating with the louse spirit, but after a short exchange, the female rogue started cursing, "Damn it, this louse spirit's intelligence is too low. She can't even speak clearly. I don't even know if that dragon lady has seen the Dim Moon Lord … Wait a moment, I will go and save her. That little girl looks like she's about to die."
As soon as she finished speaking, without giving anyone time to react, Icetis disappeared from the room in a flash of light.
At this moment, General Angelica realized what had happened. She deduced who was in trouble from our conversation, "Something happened to Lady Sonya? How did you know? "
"We followed her up here," I quickly explained. "Originally, we wanted to follow her directly to find the Dim Moon Lord and the Blood Princess. However, in order to send Charle to meet you, we turned around and came here. We have a way to follow that expressionless sister."
Seeing Angelica's nervous expression, Lin Xue comforted her, "Don't worry, it's not a problem for us. Icetis has already gone over to help."
As soon as Missy's voice trailed off, there was another flash of holy light in the room. Bryndis appeared in front of everyone with an unconscious woman on his shoulder. She had short silver hair, was tall, and was wearing a very simple leather armor. The person who was being carried back was the dragon queen named Sonya. We hurried to clean the table. Icetis threw Sonya on the table. "She's dead. She committed suicide."
I was stunned and looked at the white-haired woman lying on the table. She still looked the same, and there were no visible wounds on her body. However, her face was as pale as a sheet of white paper. Her originally light purple lips now had an ominous black hue. I extended my hand to check. Her skin was still warm, but she wasn't breathing.
"She stopped all the organs in her body in an instant and died within a second." Bryndis pointed at the Dragon Queen who was quarreling with Edwinsa not long ago. "Dragons have very strong control over their bodies. This is their unique way of committing suicide. I found the girl next to a large canyon. At that time, she had just climbed out of the canyon and seemed to be in great pain. I wanted to go up and help her, but she resolutely killed herself. She was too decisive, and I didn't have time to stop her. "
"Lady Sonya!" It was only then that Angelie realized what had happened. She cried out in shock and rushed to the dragon lady's corpse. Sonya, one of the four heroes who saved the world thousands of years ago, the strongest Epic-ranked creature in the world, actually turned into a corpse in the blink of an eye. Such an unexpected situation caused the female elf general to panic. However, we weren't nervous at all. This expressionless dragon sister's body was still warm, and the difficulty of reviving her was close to zero. I took out Jingle from my pocket, but I wasn't in a hurry to start the revival process. Instead, I frowned and looked at Sonya's chest. I know you are all thinking the wrong thing, but I was observing something else. Sonya's leather armor had a small crack between her chest and her abdomen. It looked like it was cut by something sharp. Even though the skin under the crack had already healed, a black pattern was still slowly growing on her skin.
"Angelie! Retreat! " I shouted. Icetis was even faster. She grabbed Angelie's arm and pulled her back. Even though she used a little too much force, she managed to pull the female elf general out of danger in time.
The loud noise in the lounge attracted the attention of the guards and the three iron knights outside. Immediately, a soldier pushed the door open, followed by Charle. "Angelie (Mother)! What happened … "
Angelie crawled back into the lounge through the large hole in the wall. As she plucked the sawdust from her hair, she waved her hand at the guards. "It's fine, it's fine. Just a small accident. Stay away from here. Don't enter this room without my orders. "
After sending the soldiers and Charle away, Angelie turned to the other side of the human-shaped hole and said, "I'm sorry to disturb you. I will get someone to mend this hole tomorrow. You can use the big cabinet to block it first. We are discussing confidential matters here."
I couldn't help but lower my head and touch Icetis's arm. "Didn't you use too much force?"
"Who could care so much in a moment of desperation? I was already careful not to let this lass get hurt." A trace of awkwardness flashed across Icetis's face. "You should rejoice. If Lin had taken action just now, we would have to retrieve this lass's corpse from the orbit and resurrect her …"
As she said that, Icetis used a holy light barrier to seal the large hole in the opposite wall. She then sealed the door as well. Looking at Angelie who was limping back, she nodded embarrassedly. "I used too much force just now. Don't give up on your treatment. We will take a look at your injuries later. Let's deal with this little dragon lass first."
Angelie waved her hand nonchalantly. "No, it's fine. I could feel that you were trying to save me just now. Something on Lady Sonya's body almost spread to my hand. That moment … was even more terrifying than when you flung me away."
"Give her a checkup." I patted Pandora's head. The lass ran over and scanned Angelie from head to toe. Hundreds of radars and sensitive sensors scanned Angelie countless times in an instant. Only when Angelie's hair stood on end did Pandora run back. "Safe. There's no contamination."
Icetis reached out and pressed her hand on Sonya's corpse. Starting from the place where her hand touched, a faint golden halo slowly spread out. As it spread, it constantly came into contact with the two-dimensional black patterns on the corpse. The holy light and the abyss neutralized each other, producing a sizzling sound as though a crimson red iron had been thrown into water. This process lasted for several minutes before it ended.
The black patterns on Sonya's body had already disappeared, leaving behind golden-red flashing patterns. That was the remnant power of the holy light. These patterns would probably only disappear after a long time. The traces left behind by the Goddess wouldn't disappear that easily. Fortunately, the contamination that Sonya had suffered didn't spread to her face. Otherwise, this sister would have been disfigured.
"Fortunately, it's only the Lazy Abyss. The contamination isn't that serious. It can be purified by neutralizing it directly." Icetis heaved a sigh of relief. "Also, she died decisively. If she had suffered from a deep level of contamination before her death, I would have to think of a way to purify her soul. I'm not good at that."
"Jingle." I poked the little bean that was jumping around on Sonya's stomach. "Resurrect her."
Angelie was stunned when she heard that. I felt that it wasn't entirely because I said the word 'resurrect'. It was also because I said it in a relaxed tone, as though I had released a … Anyway, it's fine as long as you understand that my tone was relaxed. In any case, it sounded scary, magical and inconceivable. However, it was normal for me to be relaxed. The Shadow City's military and civilian resurrection centers received tens of thousands of customers every day. This was the average number when it wasn't at war. Living in a place where everyone would talk about which child was seeking death by touching the electric switch and resurrecting three times a night, the word 'resurrection' would definitely be relaxed … In any case, it was very relaxed.
Jingle hopped and crawled on Sonya's body for a while. She first understood the other party's life form. Then, she flapped her wings and flew into the air. She pointed at the dead person lying on the table and said, "Jingle said that this person should be resurrected!"
There wasn't any casting process at all. There wasn't any magic or light effects. Sonya opened her eyes directly and woke up in her healthiest state.
Angelie exclaimed in surprise. The dragon lady who had just resurrected was stunned for a moment. Then, under our dumbfounded gazes, she suddenly took a deep breath and … died again.
Icetis and I stared at each other. Jingle fell from the sky. She was so surprised that she forgot to flap her wings. Lin Xue explained the truth leisurely, "Habit. She was still maintaining her last thought before she died. She just tried to kill herself again."
Everyone was speechless.
Dingdang could only repeat the process once more. This time, everyone surrounded Sonya. The moment she opened her eyes, all of us put our faces in front of her and shouted in unison, "You're not allowed to die!"
The dragon lady didn't understand what was going on. She was shouted at. No matter how strong her mental fortitude was, she was still shocked. I felt that she was about to counterattack. Immediately, Icetis and I grabbed her arms and shouted, "Don't move either!"
After going back and forth for a long time, we were finally sure that Sonya's condition had stabilized. The group of people slowly dispersed, allowing the dazed Sonya to sit up. She looked around in surprise and spoke in a daze, "Where … Where am I? Didn't I … "
Then, she suddenly saw Angeli standing not far away from her. The female elven general maintained a dumbfounded expression as she breathed silently. It was only when Sonya called her name that she snapped her out of it. "Angeli? You brought me back? Didn't I die … No, why do I feel like I died twice? "
We shouted at the same time, "That's right, you died twice!"
Sonya's unfocused eyes finally came together. She looked at us as if she was confused about where she was. Then, her eyes suddenly fell on me. She frowned as if she was recalling something. I had met her a few times. It seemed that she had finally remembered my face.
"Who are you?" The expressionless dragon sister looked at my face in confusion.
From now on, I wouldn't believe in the existence of my face anymore!
Icetis pushed Angelie, who had just recovered from her daze, to the front and asked her to explain to Sonya the origins of our group and the process of her resurrection. The rest of us waited by the side. About ten minutes later, Angelie stuttered as she explained everything clearly. The dragon lady came before us and furrowed her brows as she looked around. In the end, her gaze fell on Shallow Shallow. "God?"
I reckoned that the reason why she was looking at Shallow Shallow was because she was gnawing on a string of baked beans. It would be hard for a normal person to associate such an action with a God.
Shallow Shallow scratched her face embarrassedly. "I'm not used to this title. But there are some worlds that call it that."
The Dragon Lady was silent for a moment. Just as I was wondering if she was going to kowtow or offer her heart, she suddenly did something that shocked everyone. She pointed at Shallow's nose, and her face, which had a severe facial paralysis, was filled with anger. "Why do you want to destroy our world?!"
Shallow Shallow bit her bean in astonishment. "We didn't …"
But what shocked me even more was to come. Just as the dragon lady took half a step forward, as though she was about to do something more extreme, a bolt of lightning appeared out of nowhere in the sealed room and struck her body. Even a dragon's physique couldn't withstand the power of the lightning. Sonya was struck to the ground and fainted.
Shallow Shallow quickly went to help her up. She didn't seem to care about the small incident of someone pointing at her nose. The carefree Shallow Shallow didn't pay any attention to such trivial matters. She was confused. "Eh, why was the white-haired sister struck by lightning? Icetis, you were the one who cast the Lightning Palm? "
Icetis stared at Shallow Shallow with her eyes wide open. After a long while, she muttered to herself, "… Damn, that was a God's punishment! At this critical moment, Shallow Shallow's divinity took form! "
I was stunned. I couldn't care less about Sonya's matter anymore. I quickly went forward and checked Shallow Shallow's tongue, teeth, and eyes. At the same time, I confirmed with Icetis. "Divinity? Are you sure? That was a God's punishment? Why did a God's punishment suddenly appear? "
Icetis kicked me lightly. "Don't drop the ball, alright? Divinity is different from a cold. What's the point of you checking my tongue? That was a God's punishment. This little dragon lady offended Shallow Shallow, and her actions escalated. Thus, the world reacted by splitting the little dragon lady apart with a bolt of punishment. "
This was the first time I was interested in the so-called God's Punishment. Usually, I would only see Jingle and the other Holy Temple guards being struck by lightning, so I was used to it. But this time, someone actually received a God's punishment for offending Shallow Shallow. This unprecedented incident made my interest skyrocket. I looked at Icetis and asked hurriedly, "What is the principle behind God's Punishment? Is it not controlled by the Gods themselves? Does Shallow Shallow automatically possess the power of God's Punishment? "
"Of course God's Punishment isn't something that the Gods themselves release." Icetis spread her hands. "We aren't so petty that we would strike mortals with lightning just because we were scolded. Furthermore, if we were to encounter a world that rejects our beliefs, there would be so many people scolding you that you wouldn't be able to strike them one by one. So, God's Punishment is actually a defense mechanism activated by the world itself. "
"You should know that Gods are a unique form of life," Icetis explained slowly. "Gods are the second in the Void Stairway. They are on the same level as the world as a whole and are one level higher than anything else in the world. At the same time, Gods are the materialized form of rules. We ourselves represent the rules of order. In summary, we can simply treat Gods as the same as all things in the world. In other words, Gods are the rules of the world, and Gods are the rules that the world needs to operate. The rest is easy to understand. If a God comes to the world, he will immediately become one of the core 'codes' of the world due to his Void Hierarchy.
"Even if we don't do anything, don't interfere with the normal operation of the world, don't give any orders to the world, and even if we just pass by a world, this' exchange 'and' information injection 'will happen and complete the moment the God enters the world. It's just like if you pass a strong magnet through a magnetic field. Whether the magnet is willing or not, it will become a part of the magnetic field and affect all the magnetic lines around it. Gods are such creatures.
"Thus, Gods are bound to the rules of the world and become the 'cornerstone' of the world's information system. At least, the world thinks that this foreign individual is its most important cornerstone. Chen, to put it in a way that is easier for you to understand, once a God enters a world, he will immediately be treated as a system file. Any negative effects on the system file will be resisted by the world itself. This process doesn't even require us to do anything — this is God's Punishment. At the end of the day, God's Punishment is a stable and self-consistent mathematical machine. When the critical data of the universe is threatened, it will automatically react. Under normal circumstances, God's Punishment is not fatal. It is only used to prevent dangerous factors from continuing to ferment. So, as you can see, no matter how loud the God's Lightning is, it only knocks the person unconscious. Just like this little dragon girl who is twitching. "
This was the first time I completely understood the principles of God's Punishment. I looked at Shallow Shallow in shock. "Lass, are you a God too?"
Shallow Shallow still didn't understand what was going on. She bit on her bean in a daze. "Ah, it's my fault?"
At this moment, I also felt that this was a problem. So, I quickly asked Icetis for confirmation. "Then, is there a threshold for this God's Punishment? Although it isn't fatal, the God's Lightning is still frightening. Why do I feel that its sensitivity is as unreliable as if it's having a stroke? Just now, although Sonya was very rude to Shallow Shallow, she didn't deserve to be struck by lightning. In the end, the God's Punishment struck her with a lightning bolt. In the future, if anyone in our family were to use a sockpuppet to post something on the internet, wouldn't the God's Lightning strike the entire country? "
"Based on my deduction, the God's Punishment might be a little too sensitive at the start. After a while, it will calm down." Icetis spread her hands. "Just think of it as a new official making three changes. This little dragon girl is unlucky … Oh, she's awake."
