Chapter 544: Dramatic Degradation of IQ

[Dramatic Gas], strictly speaking, this thing is also a causal prop.

The effect it brings is even more outrageous than the personality reversal trial that Linuo and his friends encountered in "Creation Mountain".

"I don't know why, but I always have the feeling that I have to stop evil from happening."

Linuo kicked the prison door open and ran out with big strides.

"Wait, Claude, get ready!"

Nanami chased after him.

"Oh oh oh, I'll lead the way!"

Wells became particularly reliable.

"Although I don't know what's going on, everyone must unite!"

The doctor and prisoners who brought Linuo here were excited.

"Defeat Shinra!"

They didn't even think about what Shinra was in their minds, they just felt that there should be something called Shinra.

Only the stupid thieves stayed behind, and as Pikachu returned to Nanami's hair, Dust and Merry began to tremble.

"I say... do you really want to rebel?"

"Just a few of us?"

"We two have nothing to do with this."

"But we have to do this, because..." A prisoner looked at the two of them, and the scarred prisoner said righteously: "To prevent the world from being destroyed."

The doctor said: "To maintain world peace."

Bang!

As soon as the voice fell, the door of the prison passage was kicked open, and several guards squatted behind the bunker with guns.

"Damn, it's the Avalanche Organization!"

Note: Avalanche is a terrorist organization in FF7 that aims to defeat Shinra Company. Its members include Cloud, Tifa, Barrett, Yuffie, etc.

[Dramatic Gas] The most terrifying part is here... It will affect everyone in the field where the "protagonist" is located, and they will all be involved in the "drama" performance together.

Li Nuo raised his cane and pointed the tip of the cane at those guys who held the gun but didn't pull the trigger.

"Do you still want to fight..."

Li Nuo rushed over with the cane. He felt like an idiot, but he couldn't control himself from bumping into the muzzle of the gun.

In fact, everyone felt that they were suddenly stupid, including the guards who were waiting for the protagonist to attack with their guns. The guards felt that there was no need to shoot until the opponent was close enough to kill them with cold weapons.

There was no way... This was the effect of [Dramatic Gas].

So, although Li Nuo felt like an idiot, he was very excited from the bottom of his heart, because he could finally make his opponent's intelligence lower without thinking.

Thinking of this, the Warrior of Light couldn't control his facial muscles and rushed towards the guards with a smile.

"Hahaha! I will defeat you openly!"

The Warrior of Light smiled like a devil.

...

At the same time.

On a col more than ten kilometers away from Belia City.

The train whistled and slowly passed by with a hoarse iron sound.

On a train near Belia City, a group of people crowded in the carriage and looked at the religious country with a blazing fire.

"Those crazy people started again."

The conductor was not surprised.

Whenever there were fewer tourists in Belia City, something would happen to the guys in that city.

But this time, along with the shaking of the earth, something big is going to happen.

Suddenly, an energy cannon constructed by fire magic jumped out from that country, collapsing the track ahead.

The traffic rails that allow trains to reach any corner have been damaged and cracked on a large scale, and even the mountain has begun to loosen! The situation is even more chaotic.

"What the hell is going on?!"

The train conductor slapped the window of the train in frustration.

"Stop the train and contact people for support!"

"Someone has to take care of that damn religious country! Don't let them use magic as fireworks again!"

From Cha Bai being targeted, to a group of men and women fighting against each other, to the current unreasonable civil war in the whole city, it only took ten minutes, and at least 20% of the area was irreversibly damaged.

If it weren't for the fact that Pope Winston was too rich and there was a goddess secretly protecting them, this country would have been razed to the ground by the steel monsters of the Blue Sea Country.

...

City center.

Cha Bai and Maljie ran quickly on the roof, their eyes pointed at the church headquarters in the distance.

"Li Nuo should have received it, but I can't contact him. I don't know why."

Cha Bai was a little anxious.

Maybe it was the influence of the magic "Seven-Year Itch". She was more worried about Li Nuo's safety than before. An old couple can feel sick for a week after kissing, but they care more about each other's life and death than when they were in love.

However, some women blocked her from all sides and couldn't fly directly to Li Nuo, so she was more anxious.

"Wang (be careful)!" Maljie reminded her, and the guide shop under their feet exploded!

"I've wanted to try this thing for a long time."

A skinny old man took advantage of the chaos to rob the guide shop, put on the water crystal guide gloves he liked, and just snapped his fingers, and raindrops fell from the dim sky.

The old man took out the prepared shampoo, hummed a little song, and washed his hair in the rain.

Behind him was billowing black smoke, several young people wailing and rolling in a pool of blood, and the wreckage of guide machines all over the ground.

This guy was a famous underworld killer more than a decade ago, and was born in a mental hospital.

Later, he fell in love with a nun from the Belia City State at first sight. Killers and nuns cannot be together, but after being exposed to the teachings of the "Soul of Steel", he realized that everything should be done according to one's heart, so he gave up his killer identity and became an honest resident, guarding the nun.

In fact, the whole country is full of such ruthless people.

The phrase "everyone is a soldier" that Li Nuo had heard in prison was a rather euphemistic one.

Let's go back to the present.

The ground where the old man was was suddenly covered by shells. The old man jumped out nimbly, ignoring the half-body burns, and raised his sharp eyes to stare at the thing that attacked him.

The springs of several guided machines were turning, and the rolling tracks brought up a lot of dirt and gravel. The driver got out of the guided machine and pointed a submachine gun at the old man.

"Stinky old man, don't block the way! I want to confess to the nuns in the church!"

"I like nuns too!"

"I see, then you get in the car and we'll go together."

Not long after their guided machines left, this place was blown up by grenades falling from the sky.

"Sergeant, if you throw grenades again, I'll kick your ass with a groundhog!"

"Oh, you're such a devil."

A group of guys in COS uniforms rushed in here. After a sudden real-life CS game, the heat caused the guide box at the roadside gas station to turn red and swell, followed by a violent explosion.

The flames shattered the windows, and the scraps of paper were blown to the other side of the block by the wind. Here, Sister Friede swung a battle axe that could tear apart the flames and chopped at the magic shield of the black-robed priest. The violent collision caused a circle of ripples.

"Decide who is the strongest in this country, Friede."

"Okay, if I lose, you will be my man."

"If I lose, you will be my woman."

The two of them almost screamed with their faces touching.

"A fight to the death!"

The sky-high fire was surging.

All this was seen by Pope Winston, who was standing at the highest point.

"My lord! There was a riot in the prison!" A guard rushed in.

"Don't panic." Pope Winston told the guard with a kind smile: "God said, do as much as you can."

"Got it!" The guard swallowed what he was going to say next. The guys rioting in the prison were extremely strong, but since God said to do what he could, he felt that he could fight to the death.

After the room was empty, Winston showed a look of disgust.

"You are worthy of being a damn demon hunter. You messed up the prison as soon as you entered it."

The Pope certainly knew that Li Nuo suddenly appeared in the prison. There were magic receivers throughout the church headquarters. The weird crystal magic had told the Pope that there was a heretic invasion.

However, Pope Winston was not panicked at all.

He spent most of his life studying the doctrine of "Soul of Steel".

Although he still didn't know what the god of this church was, after carefully studying the doctrine, he found that it was simply wonderful and the most tolerant god in the world.

Strictly speaking, the doctrine of Soul of Steel is just two words: "tolerance".

Because of tolerance, all believers have reached an incredible level of faith in God.

Imagine that the God you believe in tolerates you to do everything and does not allow you to respect the God you believe in. Who would not love such a church?

Winston thought this should be a "cult" from another world.

If it is a cult, it would be even better.

Winston took out the guide machine from his arms.

The fine gears on the machine rotated wildly, and the ripples generated by the magic power echoed, and circles of magic rings floated under the whole sky.

Come on.

Continue to fight.

The more you make trouble, the better.

The more you fight, the more faith you have.

The power of harvesting faith is the function of the guide machine in his hand, and that power is converted into energy and transmitted into the Holy Grail.

The golden Holy Grail behind the Pope is one of the treasures of the evil ruins.

The Holy Grail sometimes gives birth to strange things. At first, only [shit blocks] appeared. Winston thought he was not pious enough, and then he started the "Pope's role-playing game" that lasted for decades.

[Glasses for detecting combat power] appeared in the Holy Grail, so Winston began to mass produce them. The glasses worn by the gatekeeper at the Tanggula Mountain level were bought from here. Later, the hot weapons of "Cyberpunk" appeared, and then "○○ Salad Cuisine" appeared. Until the last twenty years, [Shit Gun] and [Poke Ball] appeared successively, all of which were gifts from God.

If a player is present, you can see the panel of the Holy Grail like this:

[Garbage Holy Grail]

[Quality: Ordinary]

[Effect: Collect energy, detect the source of energy, and get something from the source, which is most likely garbage]

[Brief description: The cooling period is about five to ten years]

In fact, there is a probability that a degraded replica of what Li Nuo and his friends have will pop out of the Holy Grail.

People who believe in the church will be infected by the magic of the other world and fall into a frenzy when they are excited. In fact, the toxicity of Malje magic affects the brain judgment of the believers.

The goddess Tia came here and helped the church people study a magic summoning array. As long as the power of faith is strong enough, the god can be summoned. The Pope thinks that the magic factor of the demon hunter is needed to guide it.

Summon the god.

Throw the [Pokemon Ball] at the god, calling it: taming the beast.

The red and white ball is stored in the Pope's staff.

He knows the function of the [Pokemon Ball] because of the unreliable goddess Tia.

But the goddess doesn't know how to use the [Shit Gun].

The gears of the guide machine in Winston's hand turned wildly and sparks were rubbed, indicating that enough faith had been collected.

He decided to end the internal fighting among the believers in case the army of other countries came to suppress it when the summoning ceremony was launched later.

Winston walked to the balcony at the edge of the church and activated the "acoustic power horn" on the balcony guardrail.

"Everyone."

His dry voice echoed throughout the country with the magic ripples of the trumpet.

When the fighting believers heard the Pope's voice, they all unanimously chose to continue fighting, because the doctrine told them to do whatever they wanted. They usually accumulated emotions so that the church could spread among tourists. Now there are basically no tourists, so there is no need to stop. .

Winston's next sentence is the key.

“God is ready to show up.”

In an instant, the noise across the country suddenly stopped.

The priest and the nun stopped fighting, the rampaging guidance machine stepped on the brakes, and the fooling around raised their pious eyes.

Everyone looked in the direction of the church headquarters.

"god……"

"Belief……"

"Really?"

"I can see God!"

“Finally I can see Him!”

What echoes in the city is the worship of faith.

Winston smiled under the gaze of tens of thousands of eyes.

"The power of your faith has been fully contained, and God can hear it. More importantly, God's opponent, the demon hunter, has entered here."

"Everyone look at my direction. He will be here soon. Please..."

Before he finished speaking, the floor behind Winston was hit by bullets from the Gatling gun.

Because the scope of the speaker was the entire room, the sound was amplified several times louder, and the rows of trees lining the street were shaken.

Li Nuo climbed out of the hole and complained: "You almost hit me, Barrett!"

Cha Bai, who was climbing on the roof not far away, was suddenly startled: "This voice... is Li Nuo's? What happened to Barrett?"

Marjie: "Wow (hum, Miss Chabai, I have a bad feeling)."

Chabai nodded.

Then a roar was heard: "Kill you Shinra lunatics!"

Brother Wells was shooting wildly inside the church with Gatling. His whole body was shining with black matte, and his body of King Kong protected his body from being injured by the guards' attacks.

The group of prisoners who escaped from prison with them all performed their duties. Everyone shouted "Avalanche" and started fighting with the guards in the church.

The two stupid thieves playing Musashi and Kojiro were hiding in a dark corner and shivering. They didn't know why they suddenly became timid.

"Why does it feel so strange..."

"That's right... I've been afraid of danger ever since I thought I was Kojiro."

Read the original text in Liu#9x-on:书/吧!

"What should I do!"

The two hugged each other in panic.

The wall on the side suddenly collapsed, sending the two of them flying. At the same time, a petite and thin girl walked out of it wielding a long stick. Nanami grabbed the collar of a guard captain and threw it to the ground.

But Nanami's face didn't have the anger of the past, only the peace, uneasiness and nervousness of a girl.

"Yuffie, be careful!"

boom--!

Nanami was accidentally injured by Wells's impact cannon below, but she reacted quickly, waving her long stick and flipping in the air, arriving at the hole beside Li Nuo.

Li Nuo grabbed Nanami's stick.

The two looked at each other.

"Hold on, Yuffie."

Li Nuo pulled her up. It was unrealistic that the two of them were good.

"Thanks, Claude."

"Where's Barrett?"

"I'll help you clean up the miscellaneous soldiers below. The Pope of Shinra can be dealt with by just two people!"

Wells's voice was loud and mixed with excitement, and the next second there was Gatling's gunfire again.

Da da da da da!

The sound of Gatling guns echoed through loudspeakers over the entire country.

Cha Bai and Marjie stood on the roof with expressionless faces.

"Wang (Miss Chabai, Li Nuo is that Claude, right)?"

"I suddenly don't want to care about them anymore..."

Even though Cha Bai said this, he still grabbed Marjie's tail and carried him to the church headquarters. Along the way, all the believers and citizens had stopped fighting, and everyone was looking up to the Pope.

Winston stared at Li Nuo, and after carefully confirming that his face was the witcher in the portrait, he smiled and said: "Everyone, the witcher has come to me, please come and help me."

He is encouraging tens of thousands of believers to come here.

But Li Nuo shook his head: "No... I'm not a demon hunter, I'm just here to stop you."

Winston: "It's ridiculous...do you know what you are doing?"

Li Nuo: "No, but you won't know the result until you do it."

There was something wrong with the look between him and Nanami, it was just...just.

The justice made Winston think that the god might really be an evil god.

Justice, role-playing, and character transformation are actually all because of Doraemon’s [dramatic gas].

To put it bluntly, this prop is designed to immerse the user in the stage performance. In most cases, it will delay things. For example... Winston was affected.

Because [dramatic gas] is contagious, anyone who is around the "protagonist" will uncontrollably act with the protagonist.

To use an analogy, Li Nuo and the others are like carrying airborne viruses. Wherever they go, they will start acting.

Winston said as if he couldn't control himself: "It's just the last step..."

Li Nuo frowned: "What do you mean..."

Winston took a deep breath: "Don't you understand? I plan to let that god come out."

The Pope smiled.

"When I was young, I followed the team on an expedition to defeat evil spirits. At that time, I was doing logistics for the team as a businessman. During that journey, I learned about the 'Soul of Steel'."

When the believers in the city heard this, they were all amazed. It turned out that the Pope was one of the warriors who had defeated the evil spirit?

Pope Winston heard the cries in the city.

"Then I became a traitor."

It was at this moment that Winston felt something was wrong...and the Warrior of Light in front of him was actually smiling.

"I don't believe it."

"idiot!"

Winston begins a classic villain dramatization plot.

"Of course you don't understand! I was the seed cultivated by the evil demon in the world from the beginning! The purpose of my birth is to defeat humans! Hahahaha! That's why I worked hard to become a businessman and joined that army to defeat the evil demon!"

"Papagus's guys, those idiots, never discovered who I am! But...ah! But the evil demon was still defeated! I don't understand why, you bastard!"

In fact, it was Tia who was in the way.

"But it's not over... I took the money left by Lord Evil and found a buried doctrine that existed there... Yes! It is the current 'Soul of Steel'! I used that money to establish a country and establish Religion, recruiting psychos into the church, oh my God! Look how good this doctrine is for justifying assholes.”

Winston held up the staff and pointed outside the room, his facial expressions began to twist together.

"When you are complaining about your shortcomings, God will tell you that it is all the fault of your parents' genes, and it is not your fault. When you feel that you can't do anything well, God will tell you, go to hell with that person. When you feel hungry, grab food from beggars. Why not rob the rich? Because it is better to bully the weak. When you have someone you like, just molest him/her/it. You can use it when you meet someone who questions the church. Send him to his god in a kind way, like giving him a shot in the head.”

Church members across the country fell silent.

Everyone was dumbfounded. Everyone thought this doctrine was correct.

Winston continued.

"The doctrine attracts those bastards to join in on its own. I collect their beliefs in order to one day summon that god, and then, then...conquer Him!"

At this moment, Marjie and Chabai had no intention of fighting. They really couldn't figure out what good thing Li Nuo had done to make the pope confess his past in front of the public.

"Conquer?"

Although Nanami is playing Yuffie, she still can't control her worry when thinking of Marger as the "god".

"How are you going to subdue...?"

"Why should I tell you?" Winston's IQ suddenly came back, and then came another big one: "I want to conquer that god, and at the same time, I have the power of a country to renew my allegiance to the evil demon who is about to be resurrected!"

The sound of the radio echoed in every corner of the streets.

The believers were in disarray.

Even Wells and the guards who were fighting below were in disarray.

They don't want to be loyal to any evil spirit.

"Damn it..." Li Nuo gritted his teeth and said, "You deceived a country! Are you Griffith!"

For some reason, Winston felt guilty when he heard the name Griffith.

"I don't know the Griffith you're talking about, but I know...if it weren't for the country and religion I established, at least 30,000 of the more than 50,000 people in this city would have died long ago!"

He's right.

"Even though these idiots have various reasons, they are all remnants that cannot be tolerated by society! It was me who gave them the meaning of existence!"

But what he said was a bit extreme.

The believers were angry and angry, but they wanted to see the shadow of the god even more.

The damn witcher has arrived.

Where is God?

Marger is on his way.

Winston had long realized that his IQ had plummeted, and he was concentrating his magic power to get rid of the "curse", but now he still couldn't control his mouth.

"When faith reaches its peak, when the demon hunter appears in front of you, when the guiding magic circle is ready to go... the magic power from ancient times, please awaken here, and engulf everything with pure and unsullied power!"

He raised his staff high.

The magic circle established in the center of the church was activated.

The magic that summoned the gods left by the goddess Tia burst out with dazzling blue light.

Li Nuo's body overflowed with magic factors, and the magic stars and spots were sucked into the magic circle.

Nana held Li Nuo's arm to prevent him from being sucked away, but in the strong storm, her sight was obscured by the strong light.

at the same time.

Marjie beside Chabai suddenly disappeared.

…

In some Middle-earth world.

Taoist Priest Wang Li stood with his sword in his hand, sparks of scorched smoke were flying, and hundreds of orc corpses were scattered all around.

"Not bad."

Tia stood behind him and praised him.

"Senior... for players, this is a level 80 script strength... or miscellaneous soldiers... I can't say that I can't even defeat these orcs, right?"

"Come on little by little." Tia smiled: "Anyway, I plan to go on vacation for a month. It would be boring to be so awesome at the beginning."

Wang Li was a little worried about the world Tia was in, because this "god" was a little... unreliable.

So Wang Daozhang suddenly thought of what kind of god even Tia worshiped.

"Senior, you said you have a god you admire very much. What is that high-dimensional being?"

"I don't know either."

Tia's answer was unexpected.

"Aren't you a god? You should be able to see things that ordinary people can't see, right?"

"Who said that?"

"In the world I've been through, high-level gods can do that."

"I'm just powerful, not omniscient and omnipotent. Besides, the strength of that world is actually very high, idiot."

Tia told Wang Li some of her experiences.

The general meaning is that when Tia opened the "Border Prison Gate", the magic of the abyss invaded the world, causing the strength of that script world to be outrageous. The talented people among the natives can realize the "Demon God Slash" by swinging swords at the air for two years.

"The reason why the high dimension is high dimension is that it can see through thousands of things. However, the gods in that world who meet the definition of high dimension have long died. I'm just very strong, not omniscient."

Tia doesn't have the means of prying into people's hearts like the mirror master. Even if she has it, she can't use it on the people in that world. In this regard, she is not even as good as Lillian.

Wang Li stared with dead fish eyes.

"In other words, Senior doesn't know what that god is?"

Tia nodded with a smile.

"But I left a magic circle in that Belia city-state. As long as the believers have high enough faith, there is a chance that they can see that god after activating the magic circle. Although the success rate is very low, I pretended to be a witch and lied to the believers that there is a 99% chance of seeing that god. I guess those fanatical believers will think it is a 100% chance."

She hoped that the magic circle would not suddenly activate during the month she was away. Tia thought that Wang Li was a [critical person]. Although she wanted to ask the answer, in order to leave herself with expectations, she resisted asking and changed the topic to divert attention.

"In fact, I used some props to spy on a corner of that god. I like that guy because of that scene."

"He is surrounded by holy light and fairy spirit?" Wang Li is more upright.

Tia shook her head.

"No, because he is handsome."

"..."

"I love handsome guys, that's all."

...

In order to stop the "degradation of intelligence", Winston still activated the magic circle.

Under the blue light, the impact of the magic circle destroyed the upper level of the church beyond recognition.

The reinforced concrete open-air dome collapsed.

The believers stood at a high point in the city with cameras and telescopes, staring at the collapsed upper level of the church, looking for traces of God.

As the light of the magic circle that hit the sky dissipated, only a circle of smoke ripples could be vaguely seen, and a shadow stood there in the strong light.

Winston's eyes widened with excitement, his eyeballs almost popped out of his eye sockets: "Success... My summoning succeeded!"

The light of the magic circle was slowly dissipating.

Everyone held their breath and stared at the shadow that appeared from the center of the array.

Then... nearly 10,000 people across the country saw a white-haired dog.

Li Nuo: "..."

Nanami: "..."

Winston: "..."

Maljie stood in the center of the array, staring with dog eyes, looking around hesitantly.

"Woof (hum)?"
