Jackie Chan Adventures: I, the Mirror God, Master of Fear

Chapter 73 Greed
greedy
Lin Luo thought about it.

No corresponding existence was found in memory.

Sure enough, even in the history of the extraordinary world, the people who are most easily remembered are always the most cutting-edge group.

Lin Luo gave up thinking and looked at the butler: "Greedy, very good. Now I am very interested in your jumping out of balance."

The vigilance in Ouroboros's vertical pupils decreased slightly.

He looked around nervously, and the black color of the earth gradually faded away.

"Come with me. You're too conspicuous outside. You should also put on a skin, otherwise you'll be easily sealed."

Lin Luo:.
He floated back and merged into the president's body.

After adjusting to his human body, Lin Luo put his hands in his pockets and walked into the luxurious villa.

As soon as I walked into the yard, the gate outside was closed, and then a very hidden magic inscription emerged, covering up all the previous breath.

Walking into the main building, I followed the old butler into a basement.

The surrounding instruments have gradually become more advanced, occasionally making a beeping sound.

Lin Luo looked around curiously: "Do you know alchemy?"

Ouroboros continued to walk, whispering, "Of course I do. I had followers back then. They were a group of goblins who invented alchemy. The technology used by humans now is a castrated version of alchemy.

People removed magic and gave up the possibility of exploring the truth of the world, and ultimately created a new path that had not yet been incorporated into the balance of magic. "

Lin Luo nodded in understanding: "No wonder in the records about goblins, they all appear as profiteers. It turns out you are the source."

"Hehe, greed is one of the most fundamental emotions of human beings. As long as there are emotions, there will be greed. Like fear, it is the root of all living things." Ouroboros said as he walked into a laboratory full of petri dishes.

"This is my place, where we can speak freely."

Lin Luo walked to a petri dish and looked at the will monster inside. A hint of repression appeared in his eyes: "Sheep-eating beast?"

"It used to be called Gluttony, now it's called Disaster."

"Dual authority?"

Ouroboros looked at the sheep-eating beast in the petri dish, a trace of emotion in his eyes, but he still shook his head: "No, this is a tragic race."

"With Bogang around, any authority related to devouring will be instinctively rejected by Bogang. As his companions, they become Bogang's first delicacy."

"However, authority is the most difficult thing to destroy. When the gods slaughtered the demons, the authority of gluttony and the authority of disaster echoed, becoming the current sheep-eating beast."

"They cannot be killed. Whenever the balance collapses, they will revive and try to bring disaster to the world, or warn the creatures of the world that disaster has arrived."

Lin Luo listened and looked at the other petri dishes curiously. These petri dishes all contained the corpses of monsters from ancient times, but there was no breath.

And this story sounds like
"Authority has returned?"

Lin Luo asked.

There are many rules in the world, and these rules condense various kinds of authority. In that ancient period, these authorities could easily give birth to gods and demons, or be controlled by living beings.

This is also the source of most of the thousands of demon wizards.

However, the story of the sheep-eating beast is like this: after the demon wizard who controlled the disaster was killed by the gods, when the world regained control of the disaster, gluttony took advantage of the opportunity to invade, and eventually formed this legend.

But this is also conceivable, after all, thousands of demon wizards were slaughtered.

It doesn't matter if the eight demons are sealed. At most, the next era will be the era of gods, with thousands of divine fighters appearing and ruling the world together under the leadership of eight immortal gods.

Thus starting a new cycle.

But at this time, the righteousness had not yet developed to its peak, and the gods were gone.
A world that cannot ascend cannot accommodate so many gods, and these authorities will naturally return to the world.

It is normal to be taken advantage of during the process of returning.

"Yes, just like you feared. When the gods appeared, the world was in chaos. The balance could no longer accommodate more demonic wizards, so you were split into four."

Ouroboros said with a gleam in his eyes, "But your greed tells me that you enjoy this."

"And your greed speaks volumes about your ambition and your..."

hum~
"Your fear tells me that if you read my message again, you will die."

Lin Luo said expressionlessly.

The god of emotions can easily spy on all the secrets of a living being through the emotions of others.

No one likes being spied on, including the God of Emotions himself.

"Don't be angry, don't be angry. Your greed is beyond imagination. I didn't take the initiative to spy on you." The Ouroboros smiled apologetically. "It's just that it roared in my ear, saying that it wanted to be the master of fear and the master of the world." "I also had such ambitions back then."

Lin Luo regained his composure, found a chair to sit down, leaned back, and felt somewhat comfortable. He had never done anything like this since becoming a god.

But this is normal. God does not need sleep, and the body will not feel uncomfortable, so naturally there is no need to stretch.

Even for gods, after taking control of a body, the various feelings of restraint and problems will make them feel a little uncomfortable.

"Tell me, how are you going to jump out of balance?"

Ouroboros thought for a moment, then whispered, "I have three ideas, or rather, three ways to break free from this balance."

Lin Luo raised his eyebrows: "Three? Tell me."

Ouroboros paced back and forth, his cautious demeanor disappearing somewhat.

A light shone in his eyes. "I don't know if you've noticed, but this planet we're on is the core of the world. Balance originates from this planet. The stronger the transcendent, the greater the range of balance's influence. And when balance begins to wane, its range naturally begins to shrink."

"I don't know the reason, but I do know that this balance might give me a chance to escape. As long as I can get out of the range of the balance, it won't be able to affect me, and no one will suddenly jump out and kill me one day."

The more he spoke, the brighter his eyes became, and he wanted to reach out to pull Lin Luo and explain to him.

But he stopped just as he stretched out his hand. He smiled awkwardly and turned to look at a large screen.

With a wave of his hand, the fluctuation of mental power was slightly agitated.

A picture appeared above, which was an aerial view of Stonehenge, and around the aerial view there were pictures of some specific parts.

Most of these pictures are symbols of unknown meaning, but some of the symbols contain S-shaped snake images. The bodies of these snakes are constantly circling around, as if endless, which makes people feel afraid.

"I discovered this, and because of this, I decided to create the Magic Brotherhood and begin my escape journey."

He looked at Lin Luo expectantly and asked, "Do you know what these symbols are?"

Lin Luo looked at the snake, his eyes thoughtful: "You?"

"Yes, but in the field of alchemy, this represents a cycle, a closed loop."

Excitement flashed in his eyes, and he spoke nervously, "Balance really does have boundaries, and some creatures have found them. They've left behind communication towers and coordinates on Blue Star. If I can get them back, then I'll have a chance to leave the range of balance."

His eyes were filled with even more excitement: "And the most unbelievable thing is that these beings who have left the balance are actually my followers. Do you think this is God's will, God's will for me to leave this place?
I might still be a king in that world, and a king who never needs to worry about being persecuted by righteousness!"

Lin Luo looked at this guy with a trace of pity in his eyes. He was really scared. His fear was real.
Lin Luo looked to the left.

"Ahhhhh. What are you doing!?"

The old man in front of him suddenly roared, and the faint connection was instantly interrupted. He actually confused the God of Fear's perception of fear in front of the God of Fear.

Lin Luo looked around, and faintly, countless alchemical inscriptions appeared, covering the entire basement.

There was a hint of surprise in Lin Luo's eyes. Alchemy technology is the magical version of science. This science is no weaker than magic.

The Ouroboros reacted for a while before slowly calming down, muttering in a low voice: "Hold, sorry, please don't spy on me, fear, don't spy on greed"

After he completely calmed down, Lin Luo spoke: "I am very interested in what you said. I will let some of my fear go with you."

Ouroboros breathed a sigh of relief. "Yes, I just need to wait until the Stonehenge is fully charged. Then I can activate it and summon the goblins who once escaped the Balance. Let them welcome their king."

Lin Luo remained silent. What he saw in that glance just now was not only the fear of greed, but also the greed that was strong on the outside but weak on the inside and could be crushed to death at any time.

After all, this greed has lost 90% of its power and is now just barely surviving, and greed has not recovered in the past hundred years.
Lin Luo looked around, no, he did not regain his balance.

Judging from the fear this thing has now, he has prepared everything and can recover in a short time, but because he is afraid of balance, he will not recover, but will recover his strength and body after leaving.

No wonder this person wanted him to join so much, besides not wanting him to ruin his plan, there was also...
With a big brother around, his safety is guaranteed to a certain extent. At least the target of others may very likely become the big brother.

"But how can you be sure they didn't die after fleeing their home planet?"

Lin Luo said calmly: "The dead will not be included in the balance."

"Yes, I thought of that too. They might not have found balance, but died outside."

"But, what does it matter? This is just an experiment. You read this guy's memory, so you should know that the method on the Stonehenge side was the first to be activated."

"If the goblins come back, then everything that follows will be meaningless. If the goblins don't come back or die, then there are only two ideas left to be implemented."

Ouroboros panted slightly and looked at the big screen.

He was about to wave when he turned around: "Fear, you will help me, right?"
