Bronze door through time and space

Chapter 873 The Helmet Has a Brain
The Japanese gods, kneeling neatly like a chessboard, didn't catch Yan Xu's eye for long; he'd seen them so many times he was used to it.

Princess Fukushima only glanced at the gods' conquest of the human world; she was used to it. After all, the small world of Japan has nine islands, ranging from mythological eras to punk cities, each with its own unique style. Clearly, the original owner's hobby is quite peculiar—she likes to collect Japanese islands.

Now he focuses most of his energy on the Underworld Kingdom, watching Baoqingfangzhu's actions.

Having formed a bond of mutual benefit and having left the myriad worlds, Master Baoqing took the initiative to recount some past events.

For her, it was all in the past; for Yan Xu, it was like hearing a myth.

As one of the catalysts for the Great Tribulation of the Gods, she was a nine-tailed fox who had cultivated for a thousand years by the end of the Shang Dynasty. She was no small character. Unfortunately, she was focused on cultivation and was chosen by Nuwa. She was forced to transform into Daji and wreak havoc on the world. In the end, she bore the karma that made even saints frown.

Since her sins were so grave, why didn't Daji vanish into thin air? It was mainly because her actions were in accordance with the will of Heaven. Heaven was determined to destroy the Shang Dynasty and launch the Investiture of the Gods, a calamity that even saints couldn't stop, let alone a mere nine-tailed fox.

Moreover, she has powerful backers, including a sage with a legitimate claim to her position.

Regardless of the origin of the poem at the Nuwa Temple, there's no doubt that Nuwa intervened.

She may follow the will of Heaven, but the devastation and tragic deaths of loyal officials she caused are real and cannot be erased, so she must die once.

Fortunately, the goddess Nuwa gave her a chance to live, and she survived by replacing her head with her tail. However, she could never be born again because her sins were too heavy, and what was worse, she was unwilling to give up that name.

She wasn't originally called Daji; she only used that name afterward, and even though it brought her immense karma, she never changed it.

Yan Xu found this hard to understand, perhaps because his love wasn't deep enough, or perhaps because he didn't understand love.

Baoqing Fangzhu is the incarnation of Daji. After countless years, she finally found that tail and used it to carry this incarnation.

If it weren't for the numerous blessings from her original body within the Eastern Small World, it wouldn't have been able to support her departure from the myriad worlds, because the sins she carried were simply too heavy, even if she was just an avatar.

She is currently using the special laws of the DC Universe to get rid of the boundless karma on her body. This would have been a pipe dream in the original world, but here, no matter how much karma she has, it is just a rootless thing. In fact, the DC Universe regards it as a new power that can be absorbed, giving her a chance to be freed.

As the karmic burdens are gradually removed, Baoqingfangzhu's strength and realm also gradually improve.

During the Investiture of the Gods, she was merely a demon immortal. Not to mention the Golden Immortals like Yun Zhongzi, even Yang Jian and Nezha, who were still juniors at the time, could kill her.

She must have had something special to be chosen by Nuwa, not to mention the countless resources that the Shang Dynasty had given her. So over the years, her strength and realm have steadily accumulated. Now that her time has come, she has finally found liberation.

Yan Xu gained countless insights from this. The massive Xiang Liu body, as large as a mountain range, coiled up and fell into a deep sleep. The countless venomous liquids and gases that had been scattered earlier began to flow back, pulling Gao Tianyuan back from the brink of death, but he was inevitably severely injured.

Just as Amaterasu and the other Japanese gods breathed a sigh of relief, Fukushima-hime descended upon Takamagahara with countless gods and demons, instantly escalating the tension once more.

The two sides are almost from the same root, the only difference being that one side is connected to Xiangliu's fate, especially the goddess who is in charge. Not only is their fate connected, but their origins are also exchanged. This made Amaterasu's expression suddenly become strange. While admitting that she was inferior, she couldn't help but feel admiration.

However, given the opportunity, no matter how difficult it is, she will rise to the challenge and obtain this unparalleled benefit with overwhelming momentum.

After confirming that the other party was one of the gods under Xiangliu's command, the gods, including Amaterasu, obediently followed orders.

The lesser gods didn't care much; after all, it didn't matter who they listened to, and these weren't even external gods, so the transition was quite smooth. The great gods like Amaterasu were both disappointed and frustrated, but as soon as they looked at Xiangliu, they regained their composure. Not to mention, these suddenly appearing Japanese gods were even more powerful than they had been at their peak, and they were simply no match for them.

Yan Xu didn't need to worry about these things; he was busy fiddling with what Bao Qingfang had excreted.

Even a pile of shit has its uses, such as this enormous karma.

The three major pantheons—Greece, Norse, and Order—drawn his power, seemingly gaining immense benefits, but in reality, they became his debtors.

If they have the power, they can naturally default on their debts. The question is, do they have that power?
Not everyone is like the Ancient One, who can not only kill his creditors but also control his own greed.

Yan Xu smiled and incorporated karma into the subspace, adding a new and powerful fertilizer to this cesspool.

Although Baoqing Fangzhu looked at him with disgust, as if he were looking at a dog eating excrement, he was just picking up the excrement; he wasn't the one actually eating it.

As expected, upon sensing the renewed surge of power from the Cat God, the three pantheons, without a second thought, directly extracted and devoured the power through the seal, completely disregarding what lay within.

This is clearly abnormal. Gods are not idiots. If they had no sense of vigilance, they would not have survived until now. The only reason is that they have been severely affected, not only in terms of power, but also in terms of mind and soul.

In the Tower of Destiny, Kent hasn't worn the Naboo Helmet for a long time, not because he hasn't encountered any situations where he needed to use it, but because the helmet has malfunctioned.

Nabu was a human who was made a god, but his body could not withstand the immense divine power. He had to abandon his physical body and pour all his essence into the artifact helmet made of N metal, becoming a being similar to an artifact spirit.

For thousands of years, Nabu had become accustomed to this state, but recently he suddenly felt something, not the kind of perception of the soul, but the feeling brought by his almost forgotten flesh and blood body.

Logically speaking, Nabu, who had already become a god, would not be indulging in the base pleasures of flesh and blood. However, he not only regarded such things as normal, but also became addicted to them, which made the situation more and more serious.

Even without the helmet, Kent is still a formidable sorcerer as Doctor Fate, but he is helpless against the helmet that has begun to sprout flesh and blood. However, he knows why.

After sealing the Cat God and seizing his power, Nab started acting strangely. The problem was that Kent didn't know how to treat a helmet, whether to wax it or oil it, so he could only observe it constantly, and eventually discovered that the problem was much bigger.

First, something resembling blood vessels sprouted from the helmet. Nabu's helmet was originally a rounded barrel helmet, and after being covered with blood vessels, it was an eyesore.

Kent tried to clear away the blood vessels, but was nearly killed by Naboo's divine power.

This was Naboo's instinctive reaction. Just like when two friends are standing together, if one of them lowers his head and reaches out, the other will instinctively bend over and cover his crotch. It's purely instinctive.

The situation has become increasingly serious recently; a layer of mucus has appeared inside the helmet, as if something is being nurtured.

Today, Nabu suddenly drew upon the power of the Cat God once again, and then the mucous membrane began to proliferate wildly.

"This...this is a brain!" Kent was horrified to discover a milky white mass growing inside his helmet, wrapped in a thin membrane, wriggling incessantly. Then, tiny nerves extended from it, spreading throughout the helmet's interior, even dangling from the eye sockets and connecting to his two eyeballs, which were now staring at him.
