Old days in the box

Chapter 84 It’s all Peashooter’s fault
Crazy killings that abandon humanity continue to occur inside the window.

Zhou Xiao clicked on more information, and the soul of the Bloodtooth King immediately appeared in front of him.

As the 3D image unfolded, he saw a deeply bound soul floating powerlessly in the window.

The Bloodtooth King was naked, and his hands and feet seemed to be bound, hanging weakly in front of him. Behind him, there were countless scarlet threads spreading to the top of his head, where they condensed into a mini scarlet sphere.

The scarlet magic power has dominated this man's soul, influencing his behavior and controlling his thoughts in a whisper.

Zhou Xiao immediately clicked on the high priest again and selected more information about him. As expected, the same soul and body state appeared.

He randomly clicked on a few panels of Xenos warriors on the chaotic battlefield.

It turned out that their character biographies and soul bodies were almost in the same state, and there was no difference between them all.

"All of them are contaminated, and the source of the pollution... is myself?" Zhou Xiao looked at the window, feeling suddenly confused.

All this because of a peashooter?

Wait, they are dominated by the scarlet sphere, but they are not my followers.

Could this scarlet sphere be reversed?
Thinking of this, Zhou Xiao's heart became even more confused. What did you say you did wrong? You had to steal the pea shooter. Is this okay?
He cast his gaze into the window again. On the chaotic battlefield, the deep-diving elves and the soldiers of the Kingdom of Sinos formed a sharp contrast.

Both sides are from the sea people of the North Sea, they are ordinary mortals, and they have received the magical gift of the scarlet sphere.

But now one side has transformed into a spiritual sea elf, and the other side has turned into a flesh-mutated dementia monster.

And the key to all this is...

"Believers, because they are not my believers." Zhou Xiao gradually understood and murmured to himself.

The power of the window entering that world can be understood as an external force invading from another plane.

It seemed harmless before because the villains who gained these powers were all followers of Zhou Xiao, so the power of the window came to them in the correct form.

But people like the king and the high priest were not his followers.

They came into contact with this foreign force as locals in the window. From Zhou Xiao's perspective, it was equivalent to a person in the real world touching an alien spacecraft with bare hands - no, it was worse than that.

Many stand-alone games that Zhou Xiao has played have similar concepts of planes, such as Warhammer's subspace, Divinity Original Sin 2's The Void, and Cthulhu Myth's Outer Gods.

These plane settings all have a common feature, that is, it is best not for mortals to touch them easily.

Once someone comes into contact with these powers from another dimension, it will often lead to very bad results.

"This window must have some kind of filtering function. The power I drag in can only be used by my believers. In the eyes of others, it is just invasion and pollution."

Thinking of this, Zhou Xiao in front of the screen couldn't help scratching his head.

If we follow this logical inference, wouldn't it be...

"It's broken. I've become the Great One."

At this time, he looked out the window again, and the fierce battlefield gradually became clearer.

The warriors of the Kingdom of Sweden went through rounds of fighting, and almost all of them were buried here.

Of course, the soldiers of the Kingdom of Sinos also sacrificed a lot. While they were fighting fiercely with the Kingdom of Sweden, they also had to withstand the surprise attack from behind by the deep-diving elves.

However, even so, they still won the final victory from the internal fighting and slaughtered all the Norse people brought to this valley by the Swedish Kingdom.

On the battlefield full of corpses, blazing fire burned non-stop, separating the troops of the Kingdom of Sinos from the Deep Diving Elves.

Freya looked around the battlefield. The effective forces of the Kingdom of Sweden had been completely destroyed, and only they and the remnants of the Kingdom of Sinos were left.

However, she looked up at the other side of the fire, and saw that the Bloodtooth King had no intention of continuing to take action.

All the warriors of the Kingdom of Sinos dropped their swords and stared at them from afar through the firelight, motionless.

The Bloodfang King now walked toward the fire and placed the royal trident in his hand on the ground.

Then, under the gaze of all the deep-diving elves, the Bloodfang King bowed to them through the firelight, as if he was not a king, but a polite gift-giver.

Freya frowned, completely unable to understand the strange behavior of these Northmen.

After bowing, they turned around and left without any concern for possible attacks behind them.

At this distance, the deep-diving elves can completely chase them from behind, not to mention that they have also discarded their weapons.

This is no longer arrogance, they are simply eager to die in battle and eager to be killed.

The predicted victory has been fulfilled, and the results have been dedicated to the great gods.

As for death, it is just returning to the mother's embrace, so why worry? "Lord Saint, do you want to chase me?" A transformer asked breathlessly.

Freya looked around her side. After a long and protracted battle, many transformers were injured, especially the group of similar people who carried the siege in the first place. Their side was by no means without losses.

And the most important thing is that she sensed the same magical aura as herself from the people in the Kingdom of Sinos, which was simply weird.

So she shook her head, just walked towards the fire, and picked up the royal trident that the Bloodtooth King had put down.

This trident is an extraordinary weapon obtained by the Swedish royal family from the deep sea contract. Freya can sense a trace of divinity in it.

Did they leave this trident as a gift to the deep-diving elves?

Why do they have the same magic power as the deep-diving elves?

Just when the deep-diving elves felt collective confusion, the river suddenly made a rushing sound, and two figures broke out of the water.

Freya turned around, just in time to see old Rand jumping to the shore with Drake.

Drake was completely soaked, and he didn't even have a bubble covering his head. It was obvious that he had been running all the way.

But his expression was filled with excitement. As soon as he climbed ashore, he walked directly towards Freya while looking around at this tragic battlefield.

"Has the magic power of the miracle of transformation leaked here? The soul has been contaminated...the flesh and blood mutated along with it...My theory is right, it is indeed right!"

When he saw the strange corpses of the Sinos warriors lying on the ground along the way, he suddenly showed a more excited expression.

"Is there someone knowledgeable here?" As soon as Zhou Xiao heard what Drake said, he knew that he had something in his stomach, and he immediately sat upright in his chair.

He knew that this guy was a occult scientific research maniac, but he had never paid much attention to his whereabouts before. Unexpectedly, at this critical moment, it was he, the scientific research maniac, who was the first to notice the leakage of magic power.

"Is it you? What happened?" Freya naturally still remembered this nagging old man and asked.

"Lord Saint, I discovered some inferences about your magic power while studying the miracle of transformation. I was just about to rush over to tell you, but I didn't expect that all of them have been fulfilled here!" Drake's eyes widened.

"What inference?"

"The magic power given by the miracle of transformation will only take on a docile and orderly nature when it flows within your body."

Once it invades something unfamiliar, it will suddenly become extremely aggressive and turn into a chaotic, mutated and disorderly force, manipulating its host to perform all kinds of crazy behaviors - just like these people, am I right? "

Drake pointed to the corpses of Sinos soldiers on the ground. Although he was not on the battlefield just now, he was right about the actions of these people.

"How did you know?" Freya continued to ask without denying his statement.

"A gap opened in the Holy Land, bordering the open sea." Drake stared into Freya's eyes. "The seawater in the inland sea leaked to the coast, and a large number of aquatic species were polluted, and they were all mutating and evolving."

After hearing Drake's description, the deep-diving elves were not yet anxious, but Zhou Xiao off the screen was already the first to become anxious.

He immediately wanted to drag the perspective back to the Well of Eternity to check the sea area and the scarlet sphere that Drake mentioned.

But the problem is that once he looks away, he can't hear Drake's conversation.

Especially considering that this old man's occult research ability is very powerful, he has researched it in depth to this extent, and has said everything right so far, so Zhou Xiao also wants to know what the conclusion he has drawn is.

"Master of scientific research, if you have any other conclusions, please tell me as soon as possible." Zhou Xiao was so anxious that he wanted to squat on the chair.

On the screen, the deep-diving elves were also surprised and looked at each other.

The power of transformation given by the Sons of the Past had another aspect, which somewhat surprised them.

"Stop spreading unnecessary panic, just tell me your conclusion, occultist." Freya noticed that there was already a hesitant atmosphere in the crowd and said loudly.

After witnessing the terrifying appearance of the Bloodfang King, anyone would feel uneasy. This is normal.

But Freya never doubted the faith of the Children of the Old One for a moment, even at this moment.

"No, no, no, this is not panic... this is a great thing, Lady Saint!" However, there was no worried expression on Drake's face, and instead he gradually became excited.

As an occultist, he is excited about the truth he has discovered.

"This kind of magic is not designed to devour mortals or aquatic species. The mutations of soldiers and fish schools are just its unintentional by-products. This extremely aggressive devouring ability... essentially devours divinity. !”

"This is the truth I glimpsed! That scarlet sphere is not the bridge connecting us to the Children of the Past, but the bridge connecting the Children of the Past to this world! Through that sphere, he can swallow all the gods in the world. Sex, seize the power of gods for your own use!”

Drake danced with excitement. In his life's travels, he had never seen such a strange and great power.

"Devouring divinity?" Freya heard Drake's conclusion and couldn't help but look down at the royal trident in her hand.
