Demon Game: I Have a Dice of Fate.

Chapter 997: Stepping into a Trap
"Perez instilled in me the idea that the first human ancestor was a butterfly!"

“Although I don’t agree with it that much, I don’t resist it too much either!”

"After all, the facts are before our eyes. Perez has truly awakened the [Original Gene]."

"My non-resistance gave Perez an opportunity to take advantage of me and plant a hidden hand in my genes!"

"That means I was already infected, but I didn't explode out of control because my defense system was still there!"

"And once the defense system disappears, the end result will be like Villa."

……

Dorothy, who had finally figured everything out, fell into deeper despair.

Because he had no idea how to remove the means that Pere had left in his body.

Is it a case of "fighting poison with poison" and completely denying that the ancestor of mankind was a butterfly?
Can this self-deceptive method be effective?

……

It turns out that this seems to actually be effective.

As soon as Dorothy had the thought, she felt discomfort in her body.

It was as if his disrespectful thoughts just now disturbed the "worm eggs" lurking in his body.

……

But at the same time, a fear derived from the instinct of life suddenly surged into Dorothy's heart.

An intuition told him that once he completely denied the "Ancestor Butterfly", the "insect eggs" would be rejected by his body.

In order to avoid being kicked out of the house, the "insect eggs" will hatch immediately and attack the genes in Dorothy's body.

The result, naturally, was that Dorothy died due to the collapse of her life genes.

……

"【Upside-down tree】!"

"The only way for me to escape this predicament is to inject those insect eggs into the [Upside-down Tree]!"

"The [Upside-down Tree] can even absorb cursed extraordinary bloodlines, so it should have no problem devouring the insect eggs in my body."

A ray of hope appeared before Dorothy, and he seized it without hesitation.

……

Dorothy believed that his ability to hear the "communication" between Perez and Villa was purely accidental.

This gave him the opportunity to figure everything out first.

Perez must be immersed in the joy of dealing with Villa now.

This was his chance to break free from his cage.

……

"I swear that the ancestor of mankind is the ancient ape, not the butterfly!"

In the extraordinary world, there are too many ways to impose constraints on oneself, strengthen beliefs, and even tamper with cognition.

Dorothy in particular had also come into contact with the new law, so she naturally knew how to completely distort her own cognition.

……

The moment Dorothy denied the "Progenitor Butterfly", the insect eggs lurking in his body immediately exploded.

Perez was naturally alarmed.

"Damn you little thief, you still won't accept your fate?"

"Today I will let you experience a life worse than death again."

Perez's voice came from within the insect eggs.

Dorothy finally understood why this old thing had always been buzzing in her head.

……

"Perez, I have completely seen through your methods."

"You can't control me anymore!"

"【Upside-down Tree】, devour!"

Doros activated [Upside-down Tree] again with great anticipation.

And everything happened just as he expected. All the insect eggs were swallowed by the [Inverted Tree] and they had no power to resist at all.

……

"Perez, I'm going to turn you into a pig!"

"A roasted suckling pig that I will chop into pieces."

Those eggs, or life information capsules, are part of Perez.

Dorothy hated Perez so much that she naturally wouldn't let them transform into any powerful life forms.

……

Dorothy injected the eggs directly into a fat-headed and big-eared pig template.

The next moment, a leaf fell off the [Upside-down Tree].

When it landed on the ground, it actually turned into a pig with rabbit ears.

This is not the case that the [Inverted Tree] really created life, but it simply turned the "insect eggs" into a template life.

……

"Humph!"

"Humph!"

The moment the Rabbit Pig was born, it ran headfirst into the [Upside-down Tree].

The next moment, it actually crashed into the [Upside-down Tree] and died.

This scene stunned all the audience.

……

"There's such a stubborn rabbit? No, it's a pig!"

"This should be the failed template of the Skull and Bones Society, or a defective product!"

"Dorothy still has some cleverness, but it's a pity that there isn't much of it!"

On the spaceship, the Imperial Viscount was watching the whole show.

……

The only pity is that he can always "watch it in advance", and everything that is happening now is like a "review of the past".

In this way, there is really not much fun left in watching the play.

Sure enough, the more powerful you are, the more boring you are.

……

Fortunately, although the acting skills of several actors are poor and clumsy, there are still many valuable things contained in their performances.

For example, Chen Qi learned a lot from the process of Vilia transforming into a [molecular life form].

……

According to Chen Qi's measurement, Velia's physical strength is already equivalent to that of a seventh-grade golden elixir.

Even among the seventh-grade golden elixirs, it is considered to be of the best quality.

If it were a head-on collision, Chen Qi really couldn't guarantee that t001 would win.

Although the latter is also a simulated elixir, it is ultimately a product of the Stonemasons.

……

More importantly, Velia, who has transformed into a [molecular life form], is still a real life.

Especially after integrating the Perez version of the [Ancestor Gene], the evolutionary ability was unlocked.

This makes its combat effectiveness even more terrifying.

……

In addition, Perez's [Ancestor Gene] also opened Chen Qi's eyes.

Although Chen Qi had already come into contact with the [Original Gene] when fighting Superman.

But that is in the spiritual dimension, everything is distorted.

What's more, Superman has demonstrated more of the abilities of the three original viruses.

To them, the [ancestral gene] is just a substrate that carries the three ancestral viruses.

……

But now, Chen Qi has truly witnessed the horror of the [Ancestor Gene].

It actually allows humans to control their own life information at will.

This means that humans have control over their own lives and can adjust their own life systems as they please.

……

Not only that, humans can also change their life essence and even life form.

For example, it can transform into an information concept life named [Perez].

For an information-based life form, it is naturally easy to copy all of its own information, transform it into an information worm and input it into another person's body.

……

Of course, what feasted the eyes of the Imperial Viscount the most was the operation of the [Inverted Tree].

Although this thing cannot create life, its "transgression" of life makes Chen Qi, who holds the authority over life, extremely fascinated.

In just over ten minutes, Chen Qi had copied 99% of the template on the [Upside-down Tree].

Chen Qi even corrected many errors in the templates.

This is also the reason why the Viscount of the Empire, even though he clearly felt bored, had to force himself to watch Perez and others perform awkwardly.

……

"Hahaha, Perez, you are so stupid!"

"Okay, okay, this rabbit that you killed by itself is the best portrayal of you."

"Remember, the reason you capsized was all because of your own actions."

In [The Upside-Down Tree], Dorothy felt joy from the bottom of her soul as she looked at the rabbit and pig that had crashed into each other and died.

He finally defeated Perez for the first time.

……

Of course, Dorothy knew that, too.

He only killed a small part of Perez. The real Perez was still alive, at least in Villa's body.

But as long as she can win once, Dorothy will be confident that she can keep winning.

When he becomes the God of Night, that will be the time when Perez completely falls.

……

"【Upside-down Tree】, activate!"

Without hesitation, Dorothy activated the [Upside-down Tree] again.

On the Golden Bloodline Tree, many cursed extraordinary bloodlines rioted again, and then were injected into the [Night God] template.

Feeling the increasingly brilliant [Night God] template in her mind, Dorothy seemed to see her bright future.

……

But the next moment, Dorothy fell directly from heaven into the abyss.

Because when he tried to load the [Template] into his body, the [Inverted Tree] did not react at all.

This is how the same thing?

……

"impossible!"

"Why is the template not loading?"

“It was possible before!”

Although Dorothy was full of expectations, he knew that the [Night God] template had not been verified and it was impossible to achieve 100% success.

But failure to succeed and failure to load are two completely different concepts.

What Dorothy is facing now is that the [Upside-down Tree] has stopped working.

……

What the hell does this happen?

Could it be that the [Noxious] template is terribly wrong and cannot be used at all?

Dorothy, who was unwilling to give up, urged it several times again, but the Nox template still did not start loading.

……

"Even if the [Yoshina] template can't be used, I still have other options."

"【Yuhuan Bone Demon】, activate it for me!"

After the setback, Dorothy, who was somewhat frustrated, still refused to give up.

……

He gritted his teeth, hardened his heart, and chose the [Yuhuan Bone Demon] template.

Because only this template can compete with [molecular life forms].

Otherwise, even if he successfully loaded other templates, he would not be able to escape Perez's clutches.

……

The cursed blood in the golden blood tree began to flow away again.

This time, all the remaining cursed blood was actually absorbed by the [Yuhuan Bone Demon].

It is conceivable how powerful the Yuhuan Bone Demon will be once it is born.

……

However, what made Dorothy despair was that the [Illusion Bone Demon] also went on strike.

He simply couldn't load it into himself, just like [Yakami] before.

This time, Dorothy was completely confused!

……

Could it be...?
An extremely terrifying guess suddenly came to Dorothy's mind.

Then he started activating other templates like crazy.

……

Because of the cursed blood in the golden blood tree, it has been completely integrated into the two templates of [Night God] and [Yuhuan Bone Demon].

Dorothy had no choice but to sacrifice her life source once again.

As a result, an extremely cruel reality appeared before him. He was unable to load even the low-level template.

……

"Dorothy, stop messing around."

"Resign yourself to your fate!"

"It's impossible for you to load any templates!"

"The answer is actually very simple, because you have already loaded the [Upside-Down Tree] template, or in other words, you have turned into an [Upside-Down Tree]."

"All of this was destined from the moment you activated the [Inverted Tree]!"

……

Perez's voice came out of Vilia's mouth again.

This time, Dorothy really couldn't tell who was speaking.

But this did not prevent Dorothy from understanding the meaning of the words.

……

"Assholes, you tricked me!"

"The [Upside-Down Tree] is actually a template itself!"

"I XXX"

Fear and despair surged into Dorothy's heart, and this time he was completely defeated.

Because the ray of light in his life was once again swallowed up by darkness.

And there is no hope of it happening again.

……

This time, Dorothy even hated Viriliya.

Maybe this woman was also unaware of this, but that didn't stop her from digging her own grave.

Damn, why didn’t I realize that the [Upside-down Tree] is also a template!

……

"Dorothy, this is what happens when you don't use your brain."

"If the [Upside-down Tree] can really be used without scruples, does that mean the skeleton will have to decide whether the chicken or the egg comes first?"

"For example, we can transform ordinary people into extraordinary beings, and then use these extraordinary beings as materials to create even more powerful extraordinary beings!"

"In this way, as long as enough lives are consumed, three mythical lives can be created!"

"If there really is such a shortcut, how could the Skull and Bones Society, who are so cruel and inhumane, tolerate it?"

"The three mythical life forms have already been created."

……

"Villa" sneered disdainfully at Dorothy.

Anyone can use [Upside-down Tree].

But the price of using it is to achieve symbiosis with the [Upside-down Tree].

Or it can be said to be an upside-down tree.

……

Only by becoming the [Inverted Tree] can one unleash the power of the [Inverted Tree] and load the template into other life forms.

But as long as the [Upside-down Tree] is activated, there will be consumption.

This kind of consumption will only be drawn from the user himself.

Unless the [Upside-down Tree] is fully activated, it can steal the power of heaven.

……

The template level that can be activated by [Upside-down Tree] depends on the energy consumed by the user.

Those extraordinary elements absorbed from the outside world cannot replace this consumption, but will only become materials for making templates.

In this way, the [Inverted Tree] must also obey the law of conservation of energy.

……

Theoretically speaking, a life with an energy level of 8 would absolutely not be able to use the [Inverted Tree] to create a life with an energy level of 9.

The reason why Dorothy can activate the three mythological templates is because he and the golden bloodline tree are one.

He just has poor strength, which doesn't mean he lacks "foundation".

……

It can be said that the golden bloodline tree is just an illusion, and those cursed extraordinary bloodlines are originally part of Dorothy.

Therefore, they can be used as both energy and material to create mythological templates.

And after they are used up, Dorothy can only pay with the essence of life.

……

In a sense, Dorothy, who was able to create a mythological template, is herself an exception.

Others don’t have the “chance” to inherit so much extraordinary blood.

Normally speaking, the [Upside-down Tree] is actually quite deceptive, purely "harming oneself to benefit others".

……

Of course, the Skull and Bones Society has a way to solve this problem.

That is to merge the Tongyou Tree with the [Inverted Tree] and create a mythological template by manipulating the Tongyou Tree.

Theoretically, they might even be able to steal the power of heaven.

……

However, the Tongyou Tree itself is dying, and its existence is related to the survival of the Skull and Bones Society.

Before completely nurturing the Tongyou Tree, the Skeleton Society would never be willing to create a myth template.

After all, facing the Sword of Judgment, three or five mythical creatures are just going to be killed.
