My monster derivative skills are the orthodox ones

Chapter 290 A Useless Monster
Most monsters are cunning and sly.

You cannot judge the truth or falsehood or their intentions from their words, but you can find loopholes in their words.

The way the oil lamp works is obviously different from other monsters.

It can provide demonic energy, plunder other people's abilities, and may even awaken derivative skills. It is a rare treasure!

The downside is that you might get yourself involved...

Li Ye asked: "Do I have to make a wish to extract abilities?"

"Yes." Oil Lamp said, "Every time you make a wish, you can randomly draw an ability from the other party."

"How random is it?" Li Ye asked.

"..." Oil lamp was silent for a moment, and said, "If you are lucky, you may be able to extract the opponent's strength, or five senses skills;
If you are unlucky, you may draw the opponent's skills such as sweeping the floor and washing dishes;
If you are unlucky, you might draw some skills like spitting, pleasing women, or even self-comforting. After all, a person will master many skills in his life. "

Li Ye was speechless: "Doesn't it have anything to do with the other party's wish?"

Oil lamp said: "It doesn't matter at all, even if the other party wishes to be the emperor. If you are unlucky, you may also get the skill of throwing a rose in the air when the other party urinates. Luther has mastered such a skill.

Luther, the guy who made the bet with Hermes, had terrible luck and poor vision. He chose Hermes, whom he could not defeat, from the crowd at a glance. It is a shame for me to be bound to that guy. "

"If the other party fails to fulfill his wish within an hour, will his soul be taken away?" Li Ye continued to ask.

"Yes." said the oil lamp.

"If the other party is Hermes, will it be the same?" Li Ye asked with a smile.

This question silenced the oil lamp. After a while, it said, "It will only work if the strength is lower than yours or equal to yours."

"A useless ability." The makeup mirror mocked, "His strength is even lower than Mu's. Why do you need to collect his soul? You can just kill him directly. Mu, I am more useful. No matter who is illuminated, they will be immediately pulled into the illusion."

"Why are you barking like a dog?" the oil lamp said, "If the master hadn't kept you alive, I would have sucked you dry long ago."

"..." The makeup mirror had its thoughts seen through, and it suddenly fell silent and stopped talking.

The oil lamp obtained a large amount of demonic energy from the Demon of Wishes, which was far more concentrated than it. It was worried that the oil lamp would attack it without caring, so it encouraged Li Ye to throw it away. Since it would not attack itself for the time being, just let it go!
But no matter what, I have to find a way to increase my demonic energy. It's not a good thing to be controlled by it all the time!
A useless monster!
Li Ye sighed secretly and asked, "The other party has made an impossible wish. When we enter the so-called duel space, is it a competition of life span?"

"It's also random." The voice of the oil lamp suddenly faded. "It could be a competition of life span, or a competition of strength, agility, or a real duel. Even hearing, touch, smell, or how to draw a rose in the air when you pee. I will randomly select one of the abilities you have mastered and compete with others..."

Random again? Li Ye was speechless.

"You also know that the person who holds me can randomly draw the abilities of the person who made the wish. The hearing, smell and other senses are constantly strengthened, and they rarely lose in competitions." Oil Lamp said embarrassedly, "This is a punishment for those who try to tease the God of Wishes.

In fact, no one would waste their wishes just to tease the God of Wishes.

Even if they knew the rules, few people would be willing to risk their lives just to inherit everything from the other party. The risk was too high because no one could decide what to compete for.

But who would have known that the unlucky Luther would actually meet Hermes, who could read minds and saw through his true colors at a glance and eventually took his life.

I thought that I had changed my master and it would be a good idea to follow the incarnation of Hermes. Who knew that you would surpass Hermes in terms of life span.

Although it was just the incarnation of Hermes, you must have gotten a lot of good things from him!"

The oil lamp chattered on and on about a lot of things, but Li Ye only saw its useless meaning.

The side effects of this stuff clearly outweigh the positive effects.

In this world, his enemies are the incarnations of gods and the evil demons summoned by the Advent Cult. Those guys have lived for who knows how many years. Apart from the life span he gained through cheating, he does not have much chance of winning in other aspects...

Once you lose, you have nothing.

Just like Luther, who worked hard for several years, but when he met Hermes, he didn't even make a splash.

This thing is such a rip-off!
However, it’s not that there are no benefits at all.

The influence of the Demon of Wishes on the oil lamp, all the evil spirit was reflected back to him.

Maybe he can also come up with a few more derivative skills from the oil lamp. Derivative skills will never have any side effects, right?
The most important thing is that the oil lamp will not take over his body.

When this thing encounters a wish that it cannot fulfill, the holder and the person who made the wish need to fight desperately. Once it takes over the person's body, it is itself that needs to fight desperately.

By sacrificing itself, its consciousness will dissipate!
Or, will the person who inherits it become the next genie?
But no matter what, this should be the most harmless monster to the owner...

Can use.

As it says, no one knows the trap of wish logic, and no one is stupid enough to fight with the oil lamp holder.

What's more, he has the eye that can see through delusions, so if he meets someone more powerful than him, he will just not let the other person make a wish.

……

Alan and others couldn't hear the oil lamp's voice, but they could hear what Li Ye said.

At this time, their eyes were all on the oil lamp in Li Ye's hand, and they were thinking the same question in their minds, creating a logical trap so that the oil lamp could not fulfill their wishes and they could enter the final competition.

By winning over the lamp holder in terms of life span, they can become the new god of wishes.

God of wishes!
If you steal other people's skills and use them for your own benefit, you will probably become extremely powerful in no time!
But?

Thinking that the God of Judgement actually defeated the incarnation of Hermes in the contest of life strength, Alan and others could only reluctantly withdraw their covetousness for the Wishing Lamp.

But this also made them certain of one thing.

Mu is definitely not a time traveler, but a genuine god.

……

Li Ye took in everyone's expressions and was happy that they had such an illusion.

Listening to people speak only one way will always result in a lot of information gaps.

Allowing them to publicize what happened today is equivalent to blocking the loophole of making logically paradoxical wishes when making wishes to him. I guess no one is willing to compete with a god in terms of the length of life.

Even if you meet a spirit that can read minds, the information you read from their minds will be wrong.

Of course, if Hermes shared the memories of his incarnation and revealed the secret of the magic lamp, that would be another matter.

However, in Greek mythology, the gods always compete with each other and are never of one mind. Li Ye does not think that Hermes will tell the secret of the magic lamp to others.

……

After figuring out the basic working principle of the oil lamp and dealing with the incarnation of Hermes, Baishan City no longer posed a threat to Li Ye, and he turned his attention back to the city.

The church of the God of Commerce stood at the highest point of the White Mountain City. It was a magnificent church with a glittering gold coin on the top with the portrait of Hermes on it.

at this time.

Inside the church.

The Pope and the Holy Son and Holy Daughter, wearing golden robes, were blessing several big businessmen who had just donated hundreds of millions of gold coins to the church...

The golden light representing wealth fell from the statue of Hermes, covering several merchants who were kneeling devoutly, each of them with a smile of happiness and satisfaction on their face.

Li Ye could clearly see that the wrinkles on their faces were disappearing, their white hair was turning golden or brown again, and the lesions on one person's body were receding rapidly...

In the business cult, money is omnipotent.

"Honorable God of Judgement, should we enter the city?" Alan asked again. The God of Judgement defeated the incarnation of Hermes. He was full of confidence and just wanted to conquer the world as quickly as possible.

"No, you wait here and be prepared for battle." Li Ye smiled. Alan was right. Merchants are profit-driven. The Silver Crown City's methods will not work here. If they can make money, they will even sell out their ancestors, not to mention believing in a few god thieves.

These guys will only follow me if the benefits they get from me are greater than what they get from Hermes.

But before convincing them, Li Ye must first get enough benefits for himself.

……

"...Anthony Ishut, Hermes blesses you, and may you make further progress in your future business activities..." Pope Gao of the God of Commerce took a golden willow branch, dipped some holy water in the holy grail, and gently sprinkled it on the forehead and shoulders of the big businessman Anthony, saying the sacred blessings with a kind face.

Anthony placed one hand on his chest, accepting the blessing of God in ecstasy.

Just at this time.

Changes occurred suddenly.

A figure suddenly appeared beside the Pope.

In a flash, everyone saw that the Pope had disappeared from the church and only holy water continued to drip onto Anthony's face.

Anthony's smile suddenly froze on his face.

what's the situation?
Someone kidnapped the Pope during the pilgrimage ceremony...

"Enemy attack, enemy attack, everyone on alert."

Robert the Saint was the first to react: "Bishop, sound the highest level of alarm, all guards follow me to find the murderer who kidnapped the Pope."

The holy light shed by the statue of Hermes suddenly disappeared.

The bishop sounded the alarm and the church was thrown into chaos. The guards of the Commercial Cult gathered towards the church from all directions.

Saint Cathy stood in front of the statue of Hermes, clasped her hands in front of her chest and prayed: "Great Hermes, please guide me and let us find the murderer who kidnapped the Pope..."
