[Offerings: Real-world sandbox]

【Form: A sandbox model that can be adjusted at any time based on parameters】

[This offering has been fused with the "Personality Blood Pen," and its fusion ability is: ① Reality Nesting: Adjusts the sandbox to resemble a real-world area, then merges the real-world area with the sandbox. As long as the sandbox is not destroyed, the real-world area will remain unchanged and cannot be altered by any disaster. This lasts for five minutes.]

[② Virtual modeling allows the sandbox to be freely adjusted to any appearance, forming a closed space. The sandbox owner can house up to three teammates within it. Once a living person enters the sandbox, their appearance will automatically change to match the sandbox's architecture, and all offerings and items will be sealed, but they will gain temporary invulnerability.]

[Description: After merging with the personality of the strategist Ren Yi, the offering transformed into a sand tray. The bottom of the sand tray is a black stone slab, covered by a transparent glass dome, revealing ever-changing scenes inside.]

[Note: Only those who understand modeling can use this sandbox correctly; otherwise, who knows what bizarre shapes it will turn into... Turns out you're an excellent modeler!]

The sand table, which requires two hands to hold steady, has no weight at all. Zhao Ruru held it as if she were holding a feather.

Since she was only granted the power to temporarily control the sacrifice, she could not actively use either of the sacrifice's abilities. She could only watch the sand table setup that Ren Yi had adjusted and monitor its data.

[Capability 1 has been used, fusion scene: Fengtou Town - Yejiang Riverbank, 4 minutes and 50 seconds remaining]

[This area is under attack! Destruction progress: 12%]

[This area is under attack! Destruction progress: 18%]

[Manually recreate the scene using the sandbox as soon as possible!]

In reality, Fengtou Town remained unchanged, but under the impact of the water flow, the small world under the glass dome continued to report the progress of the attack. Zhao Ruru was startled and tried to move, only to find that the only permission Ren Yi had given her was to "repair" the model.

She immediately adjusted the crooked houses in the town model to their correct positions, and as she did so, the model provided a prompt:
[This area is under attack! Destruction progress: 9%]

The progress has been rolled back!
Zhao Ruru breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that in the next five minutes, no matter what Jiang Chong did, as long as she could ensure that the sand table destruction progress was less than 100%, Fengtou Town in reality would not suffer any damage.

These offerings are amazing! I've never seen Ren Yi bring them out before.

The saint rang her bell again, then hid behind the altar and began to intently "play" with the sand tray.

Fortunately... she usually needs to grasp the positions of heaven and earth when she does divination, which is similar to the modeling parameters; otherwise, she probably wouldn't have been able to understand this offering.

The pressure on Luo Yan and Quinn, who were in charge of the defense line, was greatly reduced. They were both breathing heavily and looked at the blood flowing against the river with some worry.

They always subconsciously thought that Ren Yi was a weak and scholarly academic.

Ren Yi was renowned in the research institute, his greatest strength being his analytical and computational abilities. He almost never needed to fight; whenever someone cooperated with him, they would willingly become his henchman.

Therefore, Ren Yi rarely has the opportunity to take action himself.

So much so that people forget that his persona is not called "Scholar" or "Researcher," but "Bloody Pen"!
The Blood Pen certainly possessed combat power. At this moment, countless blood-red characters were written across the river, their deep crimson hue colliding with the dark, murky water. In an instant, the blood was shattered into countless fragments by the impact, but they quickly reconnected, forming an impenetrable water network that swirled back all the river water attempting to breach the defenses. Those groaning, agonizing water ghosts were swept into the crimson liquid, instantly melting into the blood before they could even utter a scream.

Against the backdrop of the mighty river, the blood looked as small as a mantis trying to stop a chariot, but it stubbornly held on!

"Amazing!" Quinn exclaimed, a member of the combat team. As he unleashed lightning to shatter the water monster, he squinted to get a better look. "How did he do that?"

I've never heard of "blood" having defensive capabilities.
Luo Yan was more sensitive to words, and he could vaguely make out the components of the blood-red water—protect, solidify, firm, guard, stand firm... Many blood-red square characters, each with its own meaning, were combined together, resembling a scripture.

"...Such a flexible talent." Luo Yan clicked his tongue and muttered to himself, "This is already in the category of a core sacrifice, isn't it?"

Core offerings are extremely rare and hard to come by. Among the deducers, no more than twenty people have possessed core offerings to date. The pattern of possession is not even closely related to strength—even Yan Li, the captain of the undead investigation team, doesn't have one!

Luo Yan himself didn't have it either!
Therefore, he felt a pang of envy and, determined not to fall too far behind Ren Yi, he swung his magical weapon even faster.

While repairing the sand table, Zhao Ruru shouted, "If his calculations are correct, he can take down the boss in five minutes!"

Her voice pierced through the wind and waves, giving Luo Yan and Quinn a much-needed boost of confidence.

Five minutes...

Can Jiang Chong be dealt with in five minutes?
The people underwater were also whispering amongst themselves.

They were running out of time, and Jiang Chong's temper was gradually escalating from a minor outburst to a full-blown rage.

At this moment, everyone was ready for the final battle, waiting for someone to discover Jiang Chong's weakness and make a crucial initiation.

Suddenly, Yu Xing's transparent tentacles burst from the ground, bypassing the enormous statue and rushing towards the dilapidated temple.

He shouted firmly, "Forget the idols, attack the temple!"

Those present had considerable trust in each other's abilities. As soon as he finished speaking, the others unleashed a barrage of attacks—shadows, pale feathers, pure water ripples, and beastly charges—all attempting to bypass the clay statue.

Jiang Chong's voice was filled with an overwhelming chill: "You're courting death!"

The clay statue shook violently, and countless white bones peeled off from the mud, transforming into corrupted ghosts that lunged at the crowd. With one of its mud hands clenched in the direction of the attack, the false god's power contained within it instantly blocked all attacks outside the temple, indiscriminately intercepting them.

The water was raging, but the temple was unharmed. The clay statues, however, had bent down, opened their eyes, and were staring at them with a terrifying gaze!

Good news, judging from the clay statue's reaction, the temple is indeed its weakness.

The bad news is that with the clay statues guarding it, they have no way to access the temple!
Moreover, everyone realized that the reason the clay statue was getting bigger and bigger was to draw everyone's attention to the statue and make them ignore the temple itself that was blocked by the statue. Now that Yu Xing had seen through it, Jiang Chong stopped acting altogether!
A hand, as heavy as a mountain, slammed down from above, bringing with it terrifying water pressure and pollution, and sending forth countless skeletal remains and ghostly creatures. (End of Chapter)
