Chapter 104 But, I refuse
Jermaine looked like a man-made god who was about to punish the blasphemers, but the next moment he was hit hard in the face twice.

The huge shock caused his brain to temporarily black out, and he didn't know how to control his emotions for a moment.

He sat down on the roof of the main house in a daze, covering his face with his hands, and looked at Wu Chang in disbelief.

His eyes were filled with shock, confusion, shame and anger.

In another situation, he would say, "How dare you hit me? Even my father has never hit me!" and it would not seem out of place.

But the nun's plump figure, combined with Jermaine's strong and angular facial features, looks incongruous no matter how you look at it.

There is a kind of beauty that has been transformed by sweet baby.

It's a pity that Xingming Agent is without you.

He pulled Jermaine's hood and taunted him, "You just entered the statue of a nun, you didn't become a little boy, so show off your aura as an iron-fisted earl."

Hearing Wu Chang's ridicule, the resentment in Jermaine's eyes deepened.

He, or she, wanted to break free from Wu Chang's control, but lacked the most core sin of pride, so that although Jermaine's consciousness occupied the Fallen Statue, he was unable to exert the true power of the statue.

It might be enough to deal with Sword Star or Negotiation Master, but it is still not enough for Wu Chang who has 140 points of strength.

Wu Chang only needed to hold his forehead with one hand and press him to sit on the roof to neutralize all attacks.

Jermaine had never been bullied like this before, and he was determined to fight to the death. He used all his strength to activate the black halo above his head, trying to forcibly use the power of the artificial god.

Facing the halo emitting mysterious light, Wu Chang felt a slight pain on his neck. Even the huge body of 15 meters tall could not give him enough sense of security.

His inspiration told him that Jermaine's accumulated power was dangerous to him.

After all, he is a man-made god certified by the system. Even if it is the most beggarly version, ordinary players still cannot ignore it.

So he used his signature skill before Jermaine could succeed.

"Man!"

The iron elbow, which was wider than the face of the fallen saint, hit Jermaine's face hard, causing his tall and three-dimensional facial features to become concave in an instant.

Not only that, various negative conditions followed one after another, making Jermaine lose the ability to fight back.

Jermaine's defense was broken. He frowned and said angrily:

"Did Ebert guess my plan and tell you secretly?"

Wu Chang shook his head. “Ebert, before the old man died, he thought that an ordinary postman could destroy the ritual. How could he have discovered your plan?”

In Ebbett's eyes, Jermaine had died in the backlash of the townspeople, and the Earl's Manor had become ownerless. As long as he had the status of a town councilor and could enter the Earl's Manor, he could destroy the ceremony.

Jermaine was stunned. He thought Ebbett was the mastermind behind everything and that he had narrowly defeated him in the end. But how could this traitor die so suddenly?

These fish-heads on the island are all dumber than each other. Who can kill him?
"Ebert is dead? How did he die?"

Wu Chang said calmly, "He was old, fell, and then died of illness."

The chief alchemist of the church died just like that?

Jermaine felt a sense of absurdity, and then said: "I saw you resurrect the saint. If you are not from Ebert, you must be sent by the church."

Wu Chang shook his head again. "The props for resurrecting the Saint did come from the church, but those old men in the church can't order me around."

"Then who sent you?" Jermaine couldn't accept this.

He could accept losing to Ebert, he could accept losing to the church, but he could not accept losing to an unknown person.

Wu Chang shrugged and said, "Don't think about it. I'm just an ordinary postman passing by."

It is not difficult to guess Jermaine's plan. The biggest flaw in Jermaine's entire plan is that he reduces his presence too much.

As the actual controller of Briver, his death was too hasty.

To be realistic, the townspeople of Briffr are like a group of dogs raised by Jermaine. As a dog trainer, how could he not know whether his own dogs bite people?
Can Pan Hong also lock Liu Liu in a corner, chase her and feed her heart-piercing kicks and dragon fruit?

If you don't know, look at Irene at the stake.

Given Jermaine's understanding of the townspeople, wouldn't he be able to guess that when the townspeople come to their senses and can no longer endure the torture of their own conscience, they will shift the conflict to him?
Of course, he might have been too confident in his own abilities and thought that he had complete control over the townspeople.

It is also possible that he trusted Ebert too much and did not think that Ebert, who was in the same boat with him, would actually betray him.

There is a small chance that Jermaine will make such a mistake, but the illusion that appeared in the Earl's manor seemed too deliberate.

It was as if he was afraid that others didn't know he was dead, and was worried that he was hiding somewhere else.

In particular, Wu Chang had seen the resentment of the two chubby girls and discovered that the Faceless Nun was not incapable of action, but after he arrived with the other six evidences of original sin, they pretended to be dead and did not move.

But even if these are all coincidences, there is still a big flaw in Jermaine's plan. That is his personality.

In the dungeon plot, Jermaine's character is an iron-fisted earl and a control freak.

Faced with such an important plan to create a god, he indulged Ebert too much and gave Ebert too much freedom.

The Starlight Beacon made by Ebert can directly penetrate the barrier of the Earl's manor and sneak into it;
After burning the saint to death, he did not directly control Ebert. Instead, he allowed Ebert to stir up trouble outside and mislead the townspeople.

In addition, when faced with the rioting townspeople, he did not try to resist at all, but instead preached before his death, which made his character collapse even more.

Combining so many doubts together, the most likely answer is that Jermaine did it on purpose.

His desire to control people allows him to easily see through people's hearts.

He saw through Ebert's nature and knew that Ebert would do something bad at the critical moment, so he deliberately indulged him and even helped him privately so that Ebert could successfully kill him.

The god-making rituals used by Jermaine and Ebert were completely different from the method used by the church to create Irene.

When the church created Irene, it wanted to create a perfect saint by stripping away all negative emotions, and use the saint to control the stigmata and directly become an artificial god.

Jermaine's idea of ​​creating a god is completely different. After realizing that the seven deadly sins cannot be eradicated, he simply reversed the ritual and created an evil god with the seven deadly sins as the core.

Precisely because of Ebert, Irene's seven deadly sins merged with the stigmata. Using Irene's seven deadly sins as a basis, he was able to seize the power of the stigmata and create an evil god.

Jermaine deliberately let Ebert kill him in order to use the geographical advantage and the townspeople's judgment to turn him into a proof of his arrogance.

When the inner world formed by the seven deadly sins got completely out of control and the evidence of the seven deadly sins matured, they were absorbed into the body of the Faceless Nun as planned, creating an artificial god.

He can then use the most core identity of the Certificate of Pride to seize the body of the Fallen Statue and transform himself into a man-made god.

The reason why pride is the first of the seven deadly sins is that it is not only a sin against people, but also disrespectful to God.

Ebbett's former professor once said that gods are born as gods and are naturally noble.

The desire to become a god yourself is the greatest disrespect to the gods.

It was precisely because he knew that the core of the artificial god was Jermaine that Wu Chang hesitated about whether to accept the hidden side quest.

Count Jermaine is a cruel and controlling person. Cooperating with him is like courting death.

You know, the first main mission of Quiet Town is to survive on the island for thirty days.

And it’s only the fourth day.

Jermaine was resurrected as an artificial god. If he wanted to complete the main mission one, he had to live under Jermaine for twenty-six days.

Even if he was alive to get the hidden side quest reward, he might not be alive to spend it.

Even if Jermaine let bygones be bygones and didn't kill him as soon as he was resurrected, what awaited Wu Chang was nothing more than a treat, beheading, or keeping him as a dog.

He doesn't want to be a dog, at least he doesn't want to be a dog of an old sissy like Sweet Baby.

"If the player chooses to refuse to accept the hidden side quest, the relationship between the player and the Fallen Statue will become a mortal enemy, and the Fallen Statue will use all means to seize the missing evidence of original sin."

The rewards for the hidden side quests are indeed tempting, but I refuse.

"Any last words?"

As Wu Chang refused the hidden side quest, Jermaine seemed to notice something, and resentment and unwillingness appeared in his eyes.

"No matter who sent you, the church will never let you go after I die. I will be waiting for you down there!"

"Oh, then you'll probably have to wait a long time."

Wu Chang dragged Count Jermaine down from the roof, picked up the bronze statue that had crushed him to death, and stabbed it hard into the throat of the fallen statue.

Count Jermaine stared at him with his eyes wide open.

Wu Chang closed his eyelids and said, "Don't look at it, it's disgusting."

As Count Jermaine closed his eyes, the halo above the fallen statue's head fell off, like an iron ring, rolling forward. After hitting an obstacle, it turned half a circle on the spot and fell horizontally to the ground.

The obstacle that the light wheel encountered was Irene who appeared out of nowhere.

Irene bent down and picked up the light wheel on the ground. She exhaled and wiped off the black color on the light wheel with her clothes, making the light wheel turn golden again.

Then she put it on her head with her backhand and moaned in comfort.

"How can I thank you, mighty mortal?"
