I'm a villain, not a devil

Chapter 725: Whipping the Corpse of the God of Myself

A white line flew across the endless blue sky.

Most people are not used to looking up, but occasionally some top predators will shrink their necks in panic and slightly stick their heads upwards, until they realize that the other party is not coming towards them, then they will thankfully go in the opposite direction.

The trajectory in the sky is naturally Sean. He has wings growing behind him, sometimes spreading his wings and sometimes soaring.

He had acquired the ability to fly very early. When he was at the king level, he could use the Heart of Deception to fly. After reaching the deep red level, he could even use energy. After entering the deep blue level, flying only required a thought.

However, compared to other faster methods, Sean still prefers the wings brought by the Heart of Deception.

I can’t explain why, maybe I just like it.

Time was not urgent at the moment, Sean just enjoyed the pleasure of flying.

Moreover, flying under a blue sky is indeed a good way to improve your mood.

At the same time, Sean also noticed that the evil dome, with Paradise City as its center, was dissipating much faster.

The disappearance of the evil dome in Paradise City was caused by many factors. Sean had estimated that this change would bring blue skies to the surrounding areas as well, but he was surprised that it happened so quickly.

"At this rate, in a few years, the skies of the Imperial Capital and Paradise City will merge..." Sean was a little surprised.

It’s not that I have a problem with the clear sky, but the evil dome is dissipating too quickly.

To this day, the origin of the Evil Dome is still unclear. After Sean was promoted to Deep Blue, he analyzed it and found that it was nothing more than an aggregate of various special energies, toxins, and pollution. However, this seemingly lifeless aggregate seemed to reproduce. After a part of it was expelled by the natural purification ability of the world, it would aggregate again and could not be completely eliminated.

Paradise City and the Imperial Capital became the beginning of the 'new world'. It is somewhat ironic that the blue sky in these two areas was caused by disasters. When the blue sky spread to the surrounding areas, it was also the time when these two forces swallowed up the surrounding forces and turned countless people into slaves.

Sean in the sky just raised the corner of his mouth slightly. He didn't feel it was ironic, he just thought it was interesting.

The matter of the Evil Dome was temporarily put aside, and Sean followed the southwest direction indicated by the hairpin.

Soon, the leaf given to him by the hairpin began to absorb energy.

Sean showed a slight surprise. Although he was not flying at full speed, even his normal speed was far beyond that of the aircraft. How could a signal be received in just half an hour?
This place is not far from Paradise City...

The southwest direction of Paradise City is exactly opposite to the direction of the imperial capital, and Sean rarely goes in this direction.

At the same time, Paradise City’s expansion did not take this direction as its first target. On the one hand, it was sparsely populated and lacked supplies. On the other hand, this place already had a “bridgehead” of Paradise City.

The holy city of the Self-Religion.

It was also the place that was called the Holy See in the past.

Following the signal from the leaves, Sean slowed down and soon saw the outline of the Holy City of the Self Church. At this time, the signal from the leaves became stronger and stronger.

Sean showed a bit of strangeness on his face: "The unknown land is hidden near the holy city of the Benevolent Church?"

A few minutes later, Sean discovered that it was not nearby, but inside the holy city of the Benevolent Church.

The leaf in his hand was emitting the last rays of light, and the light was pointing towards the somewhat dilapidated city.

An inexplicable smile appeared on Sean's lips, and he walked towards the holy city of the Self Church.

This is a typical religious city, with traces of religion preserved everywhere. However, the once bustling, prosperous and pious city has now changed.

People walked on the streets with fear and caution, completing their work for the day according to orders, and those standing on the city walls and patrolling the streets were the most ferocious of the Golden Ghosts.

All the followers of the Id religion in the city have been reduced to slaves, and the holy city has fallen into the hands of the Golden Ghost and has begun to be transformed.

There are not many ordinary people here yet. However, once the slaves have finished building all kinds of facilities, Paradise City will start recruiting citizens to settle in. In the future, the Self Church will become a satellite city of Paradise City and will also be the largest slave city.

Sean did not meet his old friend Big Gold Tooth who was stationed here. He sneaked into the city quietly and walked in the direction indicated by the signal.

The most conspicuous, largest and centrally located building in the entire holy city is the Benedictine Church. This church occupies the most central area of ​​the city and carries the glory of Benedictine over the years.

However, the Church of the Self, where one had to pay a certain amount of "donation" to kneel down at the edge in the past, now seemed extremely deserted, and the statue of the God of the Self in the square in front of the church had its head chopped off.

Densely packed dried corpses were hung on the huge stone sword of the statue - they were all the high-ranking members of the Ben-I cult who stayed behind. When Jin Kui led his men to clear out the cult, it was natural to make an example of them and hang them on the statues of their faith and on the heads of the believers who once revered them.

Looking at the corpses that had shriveled up but still retained their facial features, Sean couldn't help but sigh.

"As expected of Boss Jin Kui, the hanging corpse still looks lifelike. This job is done very meticulously!"

He strode into the Church of the Self. This was Sean's first time here, and he looked around curiously.

The history of the Self religion in this world is indeed long, and many of the decorations left behind are extremely exquisite.

However, the resources of this place have been completely emptied, even the secret room at the bottom. Apart from statues and decorations that have no practical value, there is nothing here.

Sean walked around the Ben-I Church and finally set his sights on the statues inside the church.

The God of the Self.

However, the face of the statue was covered with the dried blood of believers, making it look like a clown painted with cheap oil paint.

Sean looked at it suspiciously for a few times, feeling confused.

All the secret passages in this place have been discovered, and there is no place to enter underground.

Could it be that the God of Self himself doesn’t know what is in his base camp?
Sean moved the statue away. There was nothing unusual about the stone slab underneath. He blasted it open at random and removed the stone slab, revealing the rock beneath the foundation.

"Lian once sensed an unknown land. According to her description, it should be far underground... But Zan also said that the location of the unknown land is not fixed, and it is possible that it has moved over time."

Sean was in a dilemma. If he continued searching, it would be troublesome.

"Let's take a look first..."

Thinking of this, Sean pressed his palms against the ground, and activated the fox magic and the heart of deception at the same time. A root as thin as a hair drilled into the gap.

This is the "imitation" that Sean created using two conceptual abilities, a usage he figured out after being promoted to the middle level of Deep Blue.

The Deceitful Heart can create something out of nothing, while the Fox Magic can imitate objects that have been seen or defeated before. The combination of the two can make Sean's abilities more varied.

And this time, the object of his imitation is... the World Tree.

No matter if it was Zan or Lian, they were all friends, so it made sense to imitate their abilities. The roots of the World Tree were obviously more suitable for this scenario, and that special root spread downwards, quickly heading underground.

Sean tilted his head, sensing the signal from the roots, and after a long time he raised his head in confusion.

no response?
This shouldn't be the case... My imitative roots have penetrated deep into the ground, and the depth alone has exceeded the crustal cavity where Lian is located.

Maintaining the imitating rhizome over such a long distance was a huge drain on Sean, but even so, he still didn't find anything.

But the leaves of the hairpin do point here...

Unwilling to give up, Sean tried his best to extend it downwards for several thousand meters, but there was still no change. Even the top of the rhizome sent signals of rising temperature.

If he goes further down, even if he finds it, it will be a problem how to get in. How deep should he dig?
Unreasonable, unreasonable...

Noah, who had not spoken for a long time, suddenly gave Sean a hint in his mind: "Master Saint III, I think you have fallen into the trap of fixed thinking. The coordinates of the unknown land mentioned by Mr. Zan are here, but it does not mean that the exact coordinates must extend downwards."

When Noah said this, Sean suddenly reacted.

Yes, why would you be so stubborn and go down there?

Sean retracted the rhizome and turned his gaze upwards.

With the flapping of his wings, Sean quickly arrived at the level of the evil dome. The dissipation of the evil dome in Paradise City had not yet completely spread to the Holy City of the Self Religion, but compared to before, the evil dome above the holy city had also become much thinner.

As soon as he entered the Evil Dome, Sean's eyes lit up.

Right above, there is a strange energy fluctuation!

Just a few dozen meters up, in the upper layer of the evil dome, a strange energy hole with a jagged edge was undergoing strange activities of shrinking and expanding.

Unknown land!

Sean was pleasantly surprised and said, "Noah, great, if it weren't for you I would have been a complete idiot."

Noah immediately responded: "It is my honor to be of some small help to you."

Sean smiled after hearing this, and felt that Noah was becoming more and more good at flattering...

He moved closer to the strange energy hole, and a strange mixture of suction and repulsion acted on his body.

That’s right, according to the hairpin’s description, this is the entrance to the unknown land, and the door to the world is inside it.

But... Sean looked around, he didn't expect that the unknown land would be hidden in the evil dome.

Of course, the funniest thing is that the unknown land is right above the holy city of the Believer Church. If the evil dome completely dissipates, it can even be observed with the naked eye.

The God of My Self was coming for the map in my body, but he didn't know that the treasure that could allow him to travel through the world was right above His head.

Oh, that’s not right. My true self is in the starry sky—then when this fool cast his gaze towards his holy city, didn’t he miss the unknown land hidden in the evil dome countless times?

Sean couldn't help but laugh out loud.

At this moment, in a palace in the starry sky, Senran's eyes suddenly opened.

Ever since Sean severely damaged my divine fragments last time, I have been hiding in the palace to recuperate. Other injuries are easy to deal with, but the loss of my divine fragments is irreparable. Whenever I think of this, Sean's resentful face appears in front of my eyes.

"Is there some powerful being that is causing me to feel something because of my strong emotional fluctuations?" The awakened self's eyes flickered with uncertainty.

But that feeling only lasted for a moment, and even He could not find the source.

I had no choice but to give up and prepare to continue healing. He wanted to repair his divinity as much as possible, but it was obviously impossible to repair it completely.

When I thought of this, I couldn't help but look down. It was all because of that damn Sean!

However, now that His divinity has been damaged and His faith has been shattered, He cannot even gaze into the world below.

“Just wait, Sean… I will peel off your skin and bones, and then torture your soul severely to make you hand over the method to travel through the world to find the godhead… Just wait…”

Hatred flowed in the eyes of the God of Self, but they eventually closed slowly.

In the evil dome, after mocking the God of Self, Sean turned his gaze back to the unknown land and observed it carefully.

"No wonder my fool never found it. If you don't observe this unknown place closely, you really can't find it. Hey, that fool, leave the good stuff to me."

After another contented taunt and making sure there was no threat, Sean headed straight for the unknown.

With suction and repulsion acting at the same time, Sean wrapped the energy around his body, quickly overlapping with the energy fluctuations in the unknown land.

He walked in slowly, feeling a slight tearing sensation in his body.

Sean, who had already learned a lot of information about the unknown land from the hairpin, did not panic. He just tried his best to maintain his energy fluctuations almost in sync with those of the unknown land.

When the two waves completely overlapped, Sean was no longer rejected by the unknown place. Various lights flashed before his eyes, and then he appeared in a strange space.

Sean was suspended in mid-air, looking around in surprise.

Energy fluctuations, strange mountain fragments, the remains of various creatures, the scenery of various worlds... countless things appeared around Sean, and the only thing they had in common was that they were broken and incomplete.

Sean even saw some scenes and corpses that clearly did not belong to this world, including elves, dragons, mechanical creatures, etc.

"It seems that this place is a mixture of many fragments from other worlds. The gate to the world is indeed here..."

Sean did not touch the surroundings. Without knowing the specific information, any rash action might cause him to be sucked into some fragment. If that was a projection, Sean would enter an unfamiliar world. There might not be any benefits, but there would definitely be a lot of trouble.

He floated in the air, chose a direction according to his intuition and moved forward slowly.

During this time, he saw countless strange scenes, even a headless corpse kneeling in the void, knocking its long-disappeared head, the vocal cords in its broken neck vibrating, making pitiful and strange pleas.

"Please, please, give me a bite to eat. I am willing to exchange my godhood with you!"

There actually was a flicker of divine power in the broken chest of the headless corpse.

However, Sean sensed a great danger from it and left quickly after just one look.
