Chapter 989: Unexpected Gains

“No, ahhhhhhhh!!!”

The girl’s scream echoed in the cave. The white-haired girl turned around and tried to escape, but the burly man behind her pushed her to the ground.

“Hehehe, little beauty, that’s it. Cry, but no one will come to save you! Monster! Take my stick!”

“Ahhhhhhh!!!”

Accompanied by Duanmu Huai’s roar, the next moment the white-haired girl suddenly raised her head, her eyes rolled back, her tongue stuck out of her mouth, and her abdomen bulged high under her kimono, almost expanding to burst. The petite body kept spasming and trembling. On the wall, you can see Duanmu Huai’s shadow shaking constantly, with tentacles extending from it, flying forward, and tightly entangled with the body of the white-haired girl.

Yes, in essence, this is actually a battle between two old rulers. It's just that the white-haired girl in front of it is a weak and feeble Old One, while Duanmu Huai, the one it faces, is a powerful Old One!

"Woo...ah..."

The white-haired girl's body was lifted high, and the dark tentacles condensed by shadows went directly into her mouth. It could feel a hot and cold touch spreading in its body, as if it wanted to swallow everything of itself!

"Don't...why..."

The white-haired girl reached out desperately, but then Duanmu Huai's tentacles swept up again and grabbed her tightly.

"No...I...just want to go back...why..."

"Why?"

Hearing the white-haired girl's sad plea and inquiry, Duanmu Huai, who was holding her petite body, raised his eyebrows.

"Because you eat people."

Yes, it's that simple.

Duanmu Huai knew very well that for the Old Ones, humans were no different from chickens, ducks, cows and sheep, and they were all animals used for eating. After all, the Old Ones are higher-dimensional beings, just like humans look at the second dimension. No one will truly regard the beautiful girls in the second dimension as human beings. The Old Ones will not regard humans as equal to themselves.

So from the other side's point of view, there is no problem.

But unfortunately, who made Duanmu Huai the chief judge of the court of trial?

Any existence that harms humans must be eliminated, so... this guy, no matter how pitiful he behaves, has only one way to die!

"Woo---!"

The tentacles wrapped around the girl's body gradually melted and merged with it, and at this moment the girl could only stare at her eyes in despair. She could feel that everything about her was being swallowed, destroyed, and decomposed. However, now she has no strength to break free, and can only feel that everything about her is gradually disappearing, and then... turning into nothingness...

"---"

After a moment, the figure of the white-haired girl flew away like snowflakes, and completely disappeared.

"Huh... Done!"

Duanmu Huai stood up, pulled up his pants, and stretched. However, at this moment, a "ding" sound suddenly came from Duanmu Huai's ears, and then a line of system prompts appeared in front of Duanmu Huai.

[Detected that the player absorbed a rare Old One]

[Player obtained a special rare ability (Past Vision LV1)]

[Player obtained a special rare ability (Shadow Clone LV1)]

"Oh? There is such a good thing?"

Seeing the system prompt in front of him, Duanmu Huai was surprised. He didn't expect that this old god who looked weak and basically threatening was actually a rare one?

Damn, this is just like catching a flash of light on the side of the road! What luck!

Thinking of this, Duanmu Huai immediately opened these two abilities happily and read the instructions carefully.

The ability of [Past Vision] made Duanmu Huai a little confused, but he used it himself and understood what this [Past Vision] was. In short, what Duanmu Huai obtained was actually a similar ability to read the file as Ajiro Shinpei. However, the way Duanmu Huai uses his ability is different from that of Ajiro Shinpei.

Ajiro Shinpei is a human, and he only has incomplete abilities of the old gods, so he can only activate them after passive death and loss of consciousness, but Duanmu Huai can use them completely on his own.

In simple terms, if Duanmu Huai punches out, but the opponent dodges, then he can directly read the save file to before the punch was thrown, and then attack the opponent again--of course, the previous attack will naturally be canceled and not counted.

At present, Duanmu Huai's [Past Vision] is only LV1, so he can only go back ten seconds. Of course, as the level increases, the time Duanmu Huai can go back will become longer and longer. However, there is another problem, that is--it must be on a flowing and certain timeline to go back, that is, in the subspace where the timeline is chaotic and there is no clear boundary between the present, past and future, Duanmu Huai cannot use this ability.

As for [Shadow Clone]...

"Just try it and you will know."

As he spoke, Duanmu Huai raised his hand and made a random gesture.

"Ninjutsu, Shadow Clone Technique! Hey!"

Accompanied by Duanmu Huai's roar, the next moment, a human-shaped black shadow appeared from Duanmu Huai's shadow, and then turned into a beautiful girl with white hair and red eyes.

"……………………"

Seeing this scene, Duanmu Huai was speechless.

Isn't this the character he created in the game?

Damn, other people's shadow clones are all made of the original body, why did I create a game character?

"……………………"

Looking at his own character in the game, Duanmu Huai was also speechless, while the latter stood there like a puppet, motionless. Duanmu Huai tried again and found that the other party would only act when he concentrated his consciousness to control it. If he ignored her, she would be no different from a puppet.

And Duanmu Huai only understood after reading the system introduction that the shadow ability of this old god was... a bit special.

To put it bluntly, this shadow clone was not made out of thin air, but needed to copy the original body like copying a file, and only after collecting the data information of the original body could the shadow clone be created. It was not like the ninja in the comic novels that Duanmu Huai read, who made a seal and then a large number of shadow clones appeared and rushed up to beat people.

"It's really troublesome..."

I have to say that after reading this introduction, Duanmu Huai was speechless about this ability. He originally thought that he could transform into several shadow clones and then beat people together. Now it seems impossible, but this shadow clone is not without advantages. That is, as long as you copy the opponent, you will copy the opponent's memory together, and it will completely obey Duanmu Huai's orders.

Well, in other words, if you catch any spies in the future, you don't need to torture them at all. Just use the shadow clone to copy the opponent's memory, and you will know everything... And after that, as long as you let the shadow kill the original body and then replace the original body, you may be able to infiltrate the enemy group and do Infernal Affairs...

In this sense, this [Shadow Clone] is indeed quite useful, but it is not the kind of usefulness that Duanmu Huai expected... He still prefers to fight directly, rather than doing Infernal Affairs or Trojan Horse... Ah, I feel itchy when I think about this, as if I need to grow a brain.

But anyway, this is also a pleasant surprise... Well, Duanmu Huai didn't expect that he could get two rare abilities when he accompanied Mary to the island for vacation. Regardless of whether it is useful or not, players definitely want more. As long as there is no upper limit to the skill bar, you can't wait to learn one, right?

If the Space Marines can make candies, open doors and draw fountains by themselves before going to the dungeon, what else can others do.

After dealing with the BOSS, Duanmu Huai also left the underground cave with satisfaction, and then returned to school and found Mary, but...

"What's wrong with those guys?"

Looking at the lifeless appearance of Ajiro Shinpei and others, Duanmu Huai curled his lips and asked.

"Ah, Mr. Duanmu, actually... you should also know that Miss Xiaozhouchao is actually the shadow of the real body..."

"Yes, I know."

Duanmu Huai nodded. Xiaozhouchao's shadow is a little special. Generally speaking, shadows completely obey the orders of the boss. As a result, I don't know where Xiaozhouchao's shadow is wrong. Not only does it not listen to the boss, but it goes against the boss just to help its childhood sweetheart.

Well, from this point of view, the ability of this [Shadow Clone] is not completely flawless. If you want to use it in the future, you have to be careful. After all, isn't it a lesson learned now?

"But you destroyed the old god, so Xiaozhouchao yourself..."

"Oh, that's right..."

Hearing Mary's reminder, Duanmu Huai also patted his head. The shadows before all obeyed the old god. After killing the old god, the shadow naturally lost its source of power, so it collapsed.

I can only say that I am sorry for the change.

Since the old gods have been destroyed, Duanmu Huai naturally said goodbye to everyone. Losing Xiao Zhouchao was indeed a big blow to them, but no matter what, it was already revenge. Of course, things are not over yet. Although the old gods have been destroyed by Duanmu Huai, there are still many troubles on this island that need to be dealt with. This is not a problem that Duanmu Huai needs to care about. After saying goodbye to everyone here, he returned to the Tribunal.

Then, Duanmu Huai opened the system interface in front of him.

"It's rare to get two special abilities. If I can strengthen them by the way, it would be good..."

Duanmu Huai now wants to know whether the special ability of [Shadow Clone] is useful for Space Marines. If it works, copy a few fallen gene originals by yourself, and then let them kill me, then... Hehehehehehehe...

But before that, you still have to upgrade first!

So Duanmu Huai decisively clicked on the previous strengthening and upgrading test, and then assigned the two abilities of [Past Vision] and [Shadow Clone] to the priesthood of [Old God Will].

Then, Duanmu Huai took a deep breath and clicked the button for the enhanced test.

"—————————"

The next moment, everything was pitch black.

Then, a series of system prompts appeared in front of Duanmu Huai.

[Clergy enhanced test detected]

[Enhanced test is about to begin]

[Start reading data…………]

As the system information emerged, Duanmu Huai saw several spots of light appearing in front of him. Looking closely, it seemed to be chess pieces, a total of sixteen pieces, which surrounded Duanmu Huai and kept rotating. Then, the chess piece representing the king suddenly turned into a meteor and drilled into Duanmu Huai's body.

At the same time, a new system prompt popped up in front of Duanmu Huai.

[Data reading completed]

[Coordinate point locked]

[Start the task "Summoning God's Favors"]

["Summoning God's Favors": Transform a sufficient number of God's Favors to complete the trial]

"……………………"

Seeing the system prompt, Duanmu Huai was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly thought of something and slapped his thigh hard!

Yes!

How could he forget!

He is a god now, and gods can transform God's Favors!

For a long time, because most of Duanmu Huai's subordinates are soul cards, he has forgotten that gods can transform mortals into God's messengers—such as angels. In the past, this ability was useless to Duanmu Huai, but it is different now. For example, Mary... She is not a soul card, but a mortal. If Duanmu Huai can transform Mary into his God's Favorite, then no matter what danger Mary encounters, Duanmu Huai does not have to worry, right?

By the way, there is also Ekote. This military strategist is a good fighter, but his own combat power is weak and almost negative.

Think about it carefully, the Chaos Space Warriors can get God's Favorite by joining the evil god, but I, the God of Destruction, am still a commander without troops?

"I really fought too much and my brain is confused..."

Duanmu Huai patted his head. Maybe the system just couldn't stand his stupidity, so it deliberately gave him such a task to remind him?

If so, this system is quite humane.

Thinking of this, Duanmu Huai was also full of interest in the task in front of him.

Then let me see how I will complete this task next!
