I'm a villain, not a devil

Chapter 704 Use it for my own benefit!
Without much hesitation, Sean made his decision.

After removing the influence of the Mother of Corruption, he still believed that the World Tree in front of him, which needed to be revived, was his true old friend.

Moreover, he had already dealt with the Mother of Corruption. A weak god that was unable to resist even the Mother of Corruption would not pose any threat to him if it was only in the recovery stage.

Thinking of this, Sean slowly placed one hand on the sapling.

Previously, the Stoneheart tribe sacrificed a large number of tree people, which was the power that allowed them to revive. The small saplings in front of them should be the bodies reconstructed by this power.

This power was mostly destroyed in the struggle of the Mother of Corruption and the attack of Kral, but the most core part was still retained.

Therefore, Sean does not need to inject similar power into it again. What he needs to do is to awaken the part of consciousness that is suppressed by the Mother of Corruption.

In order to achieve this, infusing the power of faith of the Stoneheart people is the most appropriate option.

Having said that, the power of faith of the Stoneheart people originally belonged to Him... Although he was a little reluctant to give it away, the power of faith that Sean currently had could not help him make any qualitative changes, so he might as well give it away.

As the power of faith slowly infused him, Sean suddenly sensed a weak force.

The power was very strange. It was apparently as weak as the plants that could be seen everywhere on the roadside, but it contained a breath that seemed to revive all things.

The power was growing slowly, but not by much, and as the power got closer to deep blue, its growth rate was getting slower and slower.

Suddenly, the fishy and corrupt smell that had been lingering in my nostrils disappeared, replaced by the faint scent of flowers and fresh green leaves.

Sean noticed that the strange and scary plants in the tree hole had changed their appearance at some point, and many bare parts had sprouted tender green buds.

Even the light red lake became much lighter.

"This is a great place for a picnic..." Sean nodded and praised, then shifted his gaze to the trembling-looking sapling.

The sapling that was dying before finally straightened its trunk firmly, and its branches grew rapidly in all directions. Soon it grew into a thriving sapling.

Is this considered... a successful resuscitation?

As he was thinking, a voice appeared in Sean's mind.

"You saved me again, old friend."

Sean's eyes lit up: "Hey, it's you this time?"

The voice was a little weak, but it still said with certainty: "It was me. The Mother of Corruption suppressed my will and deprived me of my revived body. But with your help, I regained control. I really don't know how to thank you."

Sean waved his hand. "Thank me later. I have many more questions for you."

The branch shook. "I know, old friend. But I must tell you in advance that there are some questions I don't know, and there are some truths that I can't tell you."

Sean frowned slightly: "I can understand if you don't know, but why is it that you also have things that you can't say?"

"Also?" The voice paused for a moment, then expressed surprise, "Old friend, have you ever come into contact with other world trees before?"

It really is from the World Tree clan... However, the only World Tree Sean had come into contact with before that could communicate was the Winner tree.

My own adopted son, Xiaonan Niang Sapling.

Sean nodded in affirmation, but just as he was about to ask a question, the voice sounded again.

"My old friend, please give me some time. On the one hand, I need to adapt to this new revived body and completely remove the remaining influence of the Mother of Corruption. On the other hand, I will try to get used to the atmosphere of this world and bypass the restrictions of the origin of the world as much as possible. In this way, I may be able to tell you more of what you want."

Sean raised his eyebrows slightly: "About how long?"

"According to the time of this world, it will take about 20 days to a month. I will try to be as fast as possible. The strength of my consciousness can only support these exchanges between me and you. I'm sorry, my old friend, I have to make you wait for a while."

It will only take a month at most... Sean waved his hand to indicate that it was nothing to worry about. He originally thought it would take a year or two, so he could still afford to wait for a month.

"Okay, I'll withdraw then. I'll come back to see you in a month. Remember not to let the Mother of Corruption take advantage of you again, otherwise I won't be able to save you anymore."

"Of course, thanks again for your help, old friend."

After saying this, the consciousness became motionless, as if it had fallen into a deep sleep.

Sean picked up the tenderest leaf from the small tree, put it in his mouth and started sucking it.

Fresh leaves are rich in water, and the tender juice is bitter and astringent, but it carries a natural and unique fresh flavor.

However, after taking two puffs, Sean let it go again.

This World Tree is also a race. If you suck its leaves yourself, what if you suck on sensitive parts?
It feels weird...

After walking out of the huge pit, Sean revealed his figure and began to emit energy fluctuations in the camp of the Stoneheart people.

Soon, the Stone Heart People, who sensed something, rushed over.

Seeing that it was the Lord God's Envoy, Shi Gandang immediately knelt on the ground and said, "Lord God's Envoy, our entire tribe held a sacrificial ceremony without asking for your consent. I don't know..."

Sean waved his hand and interrupted casually: "It's okay, do your job, and my mother has revived. She told me to tell you that you did a great job."

Hearing this, the Shixin people, who had been in a panic because of the huge noise in the tree hole, finally felt relieved. Shi Gandang collapsed on the spot and breathed a sigh of relief, and the tribesmen behind him couldn't help but cheer.

"Mother has revived!"

Sean waved his hand, and then put on the look of a messenger of God: "Mother is still recovering. During this period, pray a lot, which can provide a lot of help to mother."

"As it should be, as it should be!"

Of course, the Shixin people couldn't wait to agree, and then Shi Gandang looked at Sean again, as if waiting for the next order from the Lord Messenger of God.

Sean was originally planning to just walk away, but after looking at the appearance of the Stoneheart people, he thought for a moment and then waved his hand.

Shi Gandang and others knelt down hurriedly, and then he saw a tender green leaf slowly falling down.

"From now on, this will be the sacred object of your Stoneheart people. You will be the first intelligent creatures to receive Mother's blessing."

Holy object? !
Shi Gandang's eyes widened and his eye sockets suddenly turned red.

The Stoneheart people also possess the holy object, and we are the first batch!
He carefully took the sacred leaf, feeling overwhelmed with joy. When he looked up again, the envoy of God had disappeared.

The Stoneheart people knelt down immediately: "Thank you, Lord God's Messenger!"

"Thank you, Lord God!"

After doing all this, several elders of the tribe immediately gathered around Shi Gandang, and each of them looked at the leaf in the tribe leader's hand with surprise.

After watching it for a while, Shi Gandang quickly ordered, "Quick, have someone open up a new area. The sacred object should be enshrined separately."

"That's right! That's right! The clan leader is really thoughtful. I'll go call for help now."

When everything was arranged, the Stoneheart people had smiles on their faces and their hearts were filled with hope for a better future.

However, as they watched, one of the elders suddenly widened his eyes and said uncertainly in a low voice: "Chief, the edge of this holy object...why does it look like someone has bitten it?"

Hearing this, everyone else looked over.

Sure enough, there was a tooth mark on one corner of the fresh leaf, as if it had been bitten and held in someone's mouth.

The Stoneheart tribe couldn't help but look at each other in bewilderment, but the knowledgeable elder stepped forward to explain: "The holy object must be a leaf that once belonged to Mother, so it's not surprising that it looks anything like that. And, how can this be a tooth mark? This is clearly a mark left by an insect. Don't forget that Mother worships nature, and she never drives away the insects on her body. Those insects are actually holy beasts."

After the Great Elder said this, the others suddenly realized and began to flatter him: "It has to be the Great Elder!"

The Great Elder showed a smug look on his face, and then ordered: "Okay, okay, stop looking, hurry up and enshrine the holy object."

"The Great Elder is right, he is right!"

……

After leaving the holy land of the Stoneheart tribe, Sean was not in a hurry to return to the imperial capital. He found a secret room in Paradise City and closed his eyes as soon as he entered.

Although there was danger this time, it was not too dangerous, and most importantly, Sean gained something that belonged to the mother of corruption.

Swamp of corruption.

The [Dragon Feast] divinity helped Sean devour the corrupt swamp, and an hour had already passed. In other words, Sean was no longer able to use the corrupt swamp as a means of energy supply to smash it back.

However, who would be willing to throw back the powerful ability of a god?
To Sean, the Mother of Corruption is at least a pillar-level evil god. Her special abilities can even suppress Sean's consciousness without his knowledge, which is enough to show how terrifying she is.

And the corrupt swamp is obviously part of the special ability of the Mother of Corruption.

Sean naturally didn't expect to be able to directly obtain the power of a pillar-level evil god. He couldn't do it with his strength. However, within the range that [Dragon Feast] could absorb and devour, the Corrupted Swamp was probably one of the upper-limit abilities.

What he has to do now is to thoroughly study and absorb the Swamp of Corruption and turn the power of the Mother of Corruption into his own means.

And, this isn't just Sean gaining a powerful ability, it's also a nerf to the Mother of Corruption.

As long as Sean does not devour other abilities and learn them, the Corruption Swamp will solidify and become one of Sean's superpowers. During this period, the Mother of Corruption whose abilities have been devoured can only use a weakened version of the Corruption Swamp.

As long as Sean doesn't return it to Him, He will never be able to use the authentic Corruption Swamp.

Not only will I steal your abilities, I'll also make you lose your memory!

I just don’t know to what extent this weakening influence can reach the level of gods?
However, there is no need to think about these things. No one knows when the next time he will meet the Mother of Corruption will be. In addition, with the experience of the Corruption Swamp and this sneak attack, it will not be so easy for Sean to fall into the hands of the Mother of Corruption next time.

Sean calmed down and immersed himself in devouring and learning, and this study lasted for a full ten days.

Ten days later, Sean in the secret room opened his eyes and showed a little surprise.

In fact, he hasn't finished learning yet, but this is the maximum efficiency he can digest in a short period of time.

The next part is the hard work and actual application.

These ten days also gave him a basic understanding of the various uses of the Corrupt Swamp. All I can say is... it's amazing!

More powerful than you can imagine!

The Corrupt Swamp can actually be regarded as a domain ability that can be actively activated. Once it is activated, Sean can use the Corrupt Swamp to perform a "swamp swallowing".

Swamp swallowing, this was the method used by the Mother of Corruption to attack Sean before, and it was extremely insidious.

Once Sean locks on someone, the swamp can directly drag out the person's consciousness and then enter the realm of the corrupt swamp with Sean.

In the corrupt swamp, enemies who are unaware of the mechanism will be suppressed in all aspects. Not only will they be unable to establish contact with their bodies, but even their mental abilities will be greatly weakened.

At the same time, Sean can not only directly attack the enemy's consciousness, but also start erosion with the corrupt swamp.

The biggest flaw of this corrupt swamp is that Sean cannot directly devour the consciousness trapped in it like the Mother of Corruption did. He can only attack and erode.

Devouring within the realm should be another ability of the Mother of Corruption, but the current corrupt swamp is already powerful enough for Sean.

As long as the opponent's consciousness is severely damaged, it is normal for the opponent to be unable to control his body and unable to finely manipulate his supernatural powers after he escapes from the corrupt swamp. Moreover, if Sean's erosion is successful, he can try to transform the opponent's body and spirit into his own puppet.

Puppets are naturally inferior to living people, but their advantage is that they are fearless and unafraid of death.

Sean tried to feel it and felt that the nearby corrupt swamp should be able to help him control the two deep blue lower-level ones. If it was replaced by deep red peaks, he would have to add a zero after this number.

He clenched his hands in satisfaction: "It's enough. Whether it's a direct attack to kill, or corroded to make a puppet, it's already powerful enough. In a sense, this ability is better than my villain reporter... However, it's also because I've been using Mio Shisan's ability, so it's not good enough now..."

Sean didn't care. Mio Shisan's ability was indeed not enough at the Deep Blue level, but he didn't have a better replacement now.

What's more important is that his unlucky daughter is currently a spirit. If he changes her supernatural powers, he is afraid that something might happen to her.

But now, with the Corruption Swamp, the need for Sean's replacement is greatly reduced.

Satisfied, Sean looked at the time, then turned his attention to Paradise City.

I haven't been back for a long time, so I'm going to see my little babies...
