Lu Xun, who had been on high alert for a boss sneak attack, suddenly glimpsed the mysterious black-robed man fleeing without even looking back.
He was stunned.
He couldn't believe it—the damn boss actually ran away!
His level was the one being crushed, right? He was the one outnumbered, right? He was even the one who tried to teleport away but failed, right?
But why was the boss the one fleeing in panic?
Had he missed some key plot point again?
Encountering such a bizarre scene for the first time, Lu Xun suddenly felt a bit lost.
This visual was so strange it looked like it was AI-generated.
But regardless, since the boss had fled, he no longer had any worries and could throw himself entirely into the battle with these cultists.
Lu Xun was, after all, a technical streamer; dealing with these enemies didn't take much effort.
The final sword edge pierced the chest of a level 5 cultist, and the cold corpse slid to the ground.
The whole process was relatively simple for Lu Xun.
The flow was basically: left-click to attack, right-click to defend, and Shift to dodge.
Then the enemies were all dead.
Truly such high-level mechanics!
When Grinya snapped out of it, the only sound left in the cavernous factory was the roar of the alchemical machinery, along with corpses scattered everywhere and blood splattered against the walls.
All of this... was her doing?
Grinya could hardly believe it. Her mind was a total mess, and only the heavy weight of the wooden sword in her hand told her that all of this was real!
She had killed people!
And she had destroyed a criminal site suspected of being a cult stronghold all by herself!
She didn't even know if this counted as a great achievement, because the one controlling her body to do all this was a genuine evil god!
Wait...
Why did she always have the preconceived notion that the existence inside her was an evil god?
He had helped her achieve a perfect score on the practical test.
He had stolen the tainted lollipop to protect a child's health.
He had resonated with the statue of the Original God in the church.
He had sought out the cult stronghold and killed the cultists.
How could someone who did these things be an evil god?
Grinya was filled with regret. How could she, based on a bit of prejudice, use a preconceived notion to slander such a great existence as an evil god?
Original God above, please forgive her impertinence.
Lu Xun tossed the quest completion notification to the back of his mind, his attention entirely focused on that pitch-black altar.
To be precise, it was on the sinister arm growing out of the darkness of the altar.
He didn't know what it was, but from his perspective, this arm had been glowing with a golden light to attract him ever since he completed the quest.
Years of gaming experience told him that this arm must be incredibly overpowered!
So he controlled his character to slowly approach it.
Grinya also noticed that arm.
The unnaturally evil black mist, the skin that looked like rotten meat, and the unsettling whispers... just getting close caused one's consciousness to gradually slip...
Just as Grinya's consciousness was sinking and becoming lost...
"Wake up!"
A shout from the great existence within her suddenly startled her awake, and all the evil and strangeness were instantly dispelled.
Grinya was terrified.
Just a little bit more...
Just a tiny bit more!
She would have lost herself and become mentally deranged... if the great existence hadn't suddenly called out to her, she might have already been reduced to a monster corrupted by mental pollution!
Thank you, Original God!
Thank you, Lord God!
If she hadn't been unable to do so at that moment, Grinya would have already been moved to tears, kneeling on the ground to piously sing and praise the Lord God within her.
That arm had a very high mental pollution value; only under the protection of the Lord God was she safe.
In Grinya's understanding, power of this scale could only be pollution belonging to a god-level entity!
Therefore, Grinya was absolutely certain that the arm before her undoubtedly belonged to a genuine evil god!
At this thought, Grinya wanted to cry but had no tears.
What right did a minor figure from a fallen noble family have to encounter two god-level existences in a single day!
...
"Alright, alright!"
Lu Xun answered the phone with one hand, his face full of helplessness.
This call really came at a bad time, interrupting his good mood just when he was at his most tense and excited.
"I'm not joking with you. Old Yang is really angry this time. You really have to come to school tomorrow, or you're definitely going to fail this course!" the voice on the other end said.
"No one has ever been able to fail me, not even him!" Lu Xun snorted coldly, sounding extremely proud.
The domineering and extraordinary voice of the Lord God suddenly rang in her ears, like an unquestionable divine decree.
Grinya was stunned.
She was so excited she couldn't speak.
This was the aura a god should have!
Even when facing an existence of the same level, his tone was full of disdain, as if only he could be the ruler of this world!
God is undeluded, God is self-reliant, God is unyielding!
This is a god!
Lu Xun hung up the phone and sighed.
It seemed he really had skipped class a bit too frequently this semester; he'd find some time to go back to school tomorrow.
His gaze gradually focused on that golden, radiant arm.
Of course, from Grinya's perspective, that arm was filthy, disgusting, and terrifying...
【A plain and unremarkable arm】
Looking at the introduction provided by the system, Lu Xun let out a cold laugh.
If it weren't for the golden, flashing special effect, he really would have believed the system's claim of it being "plain and unremarkable."
"The body of an evil god has an extremely high pollution value. Even the five great Primordial Gods would risk corruption upon direct contact. If the Lord God isn't an evil god, his best choice would be to seal it here."
Grinya mused in her heart.
Suddenly, her hand lifted. Grinya immediately realized it was the Lord God!
She looked forward with immense anticipation to the Lord God's next move.
Whether it would be a transcendent, holy, city-shaking god-level sealing technique or some other method, as long as she could witness a miracle with her own eyes once, her life would be worth it!
Then, in the next second.
Her hand directly grabbed the evil god's arm.
Without any warning, Grinya didn't react at all until the cold sensation hit her hand, and she gradually came to her senses.
Grinya's mind collapsed—scared out of her wits by Lu Xun.
A deity representing justice could not possibly touch the body of an evil god directly!
Even a Primordial God would risk mental pollution!
Only an evil god would covet the body of another evil god!
So, the one inside her...
He really is an evil god after all...
Grinya fell into utter despair.
Upon picking up the arm that was clearly some kind of artifact, Lu Xun finally saw its true name on the interface.
【Hand of the Plague God】
【It seems to come from a great existence whose plague once plunged this world into an abyss of despair... Now, he has long since vanished into the long river of history, but his severed arm has resurfaced. Perhaps the world will once again welcome its end...】
