Zerg: Why is the Overlord like that?

The world's malice paused again, then continued with a grin:

"Trying to provoke me? Do you think I'll be provoked by you? Jian Chi, do you know that with just a thought, I can make Elvis kill himself?"

Jian Chi did not reply to that sentence.

"It seems that the reverse psychology tactic really works on you."

"???"

Seeing that Jian Chi was avoiding the topic, World Malice sneered, "I thought you were so smart, but it seems you're just so-so."

Unexpectedly, Jian Chi still didn't reply, and continued speaking to himself:

"You approached Elvis first, and that's how he awakened. Because in his previous life, and the life before that, he also awakened. Am I right?"

When he learned about the world's malice from the system, he felt that the world's malice had approached Elvis first, which was why Elvis had awakened.

The system was bewildered.

[Did Elvis awaken in its past life, and even its previous life? But it didn't notice at all!]

The system quickly glimpsed Elvis's two previous lives in a fraction of a second.

In the end, I really didn't realize that Elvis had awakened!

Because the previous two lifetimes were almost identical to the more than 90,000 lifetimes before them!

How could it be awakened?

The whispers and laughter that had surrounded the world with malice vanished instantly.

The surroundings became completely quiet again.

This reaction further confirmed Jian Chi's guess.

Jian Chi said slowly:

"So you actually located him a long time ago, and originally planned to wait until Elvis was in more pain before you went to find him."

But then they discovered that Elvis's pain had actually lessened, so they didn't wait any longer, went to Elvis, and tried to help him regain his memories. Was my guess correct?

Silence, deathly silence.

"Hmm, looks like I guessed right again."

【…Host, how did you even figure that out?!】

No, can someone tell it why, whenever it thinks this is the limit of the host's intelligence, the host always tells it that this is not the limit at all?!

It's really curious!

Having guessed some of the truth correctly, Jian Chi was in a good mood, and therefore explained things to the system in a relatively good mood.

[It's very simple. As World's Malice just said, even if Elvis dies, World's Malice will still seek him out after he reincarnates.]

The word "still" proves that this is not the first time Elvis has been maliciously targeted by the world.

Even without him, Elvis's experience wasn't the most painful.

He was born into a noble family, and after becoming a general, the female soldiers of the three armies also greatly admired him.

More importantly, Ives has developed his own distorted beliefs. In his mind, Mittel, the three armies, and even the Zerg are all things he must protect.

How can one be in so much pain and despair if there is something to protect?

But the system says that the world's malice will target the one who suffers the most.

Under what circumstances would Elvis be the one suffering the most in the world?

That is awakening.

In his previous life, Elvis must have awakened relatively late, by which time it was too late to turn back on the battlefield.

The natural system would not be able to detect it.

The system was shocked.

It never expected that Jian Chi could guess so much from just one word!

While speaking, Jian Chi did not stop what he was doing, continuing to eliminate the malice of the world in the pure white space.

"As for what you said, that you could make Elvis kill himself, I believe you could do it, but you wouldn't dare."

The world's malice only felt that Jian Chi was about to say something extremely terrifying.

Soon, its intuition was proven correct.

"After all, the last insect self-destructed immediately after awakening, didn't it?"

After saying this, Jian Chi clearly felt that the malicious fluctuations from the world had completely disappeared without a trace.

Leaving behind a calm, simple pool and a bewildered system.

[Host...you, you, you, what did you mean just now...?]

Is that what it meant?

[What do you think, System? You're telling me you don't even understand this sentence.]

Jian Chi yawned.

With the world's malice gone, his last shred of fighting spirit vanished, and with his mental energy nearly depleted, he began to feel drowsy.

After he finished speaking, the system went silent.

Jian Chi simply withdrew from Elvis's mental sea.

Emerging from his mental sea, he noticed Elvis standing very close to his cheek.

Elvis buried his entire head in the crook of his neck, pressing his body tightly against him in an extremely affectionate posture.

Warm, even breath sprayed onto his neck; he had always hated anyone being so close to him.

But Elvis… Jian Chi closed his eyes and didn’t push Elvis away.

[The original owner of this body was neither the most tormented nor possessed the highest mental strength; without some special quality, how could he have awakened?]

In this situation, there is only one possibility.

That is, the original body was not awakened on its own initiative, but was interfered with by external forces.

The system was so shocked that it couldn't speak for a long time.

So the original body's awakening was a malicious act by the world? But why would it do that?

Doesn't the world's malice only target the most suffering insects?

Haven't you noticed that the world is working against you?

[Huh? Really? Isn't it only interested in pain?]

[...] They're hopelessly stupid, just bury them.

[Host, aren't we friends? Please tell me, okay?]

[...] Okay, you've grown up by using his previous words to shut him up.

Since it's global malice, it must be directed at the entire world; otherwise, why would it be called global malice?

The Way of Heaven desires the formation of the world, and the malice of the world will naturally oppose the Way of Heaven and prevent the formation of the world.

I suspect that Elvis was the first to awaken his memories, and the pain that erupted at that moment attracted him.

So later, after learning that Elvis's identity allowed him access to the two protagonists who influenced the world, it secretly marked Elvis, attempting to influence him.

However, it later discovered that Elvis awakened very late, so it wanted to awaken Elvis earlier.

But it was afraid that Elvis would collapse, so it could only try it on the original body first. If it succeeded, based on the original body's plot in the original story, it would definitely oppose the two protagonists.

It even killed two of the main characters to achieve its goal.

If we fail, at least Elvis will still be around.

Unexpectedly, the original owner was so useless that he self-destructed the moment he awakened because he couldn't bear the memories of more than 90,000 lifetimes.

This is also why the world maliciously knows that Jian Chi is an extraterrestrial.

So he could only place his hopes on Elvis.

Even if Elvis's mental strength drops to A, he used to be a double S. If even Elvis can't hold on after awakening, then no one can.

It didn't know when it originally planned to awaken Elvis, but seeing that Elvis was becoming happier and happier in this life because of Jian Chi, this visitor from outer space, it couldn't sit still any longer.

Therefore, it was decided to awaken Elvis immediately.

However, fearing that Elvis might not be able to withstand the same pressure as the original, they chose to proceed gradually, allowing Elvis to awaken little by little.

It went through so much trouble to awaken Elvis, and he didn't die, so how could it really kill Elvis?

After all, the plot has already progressed to the mid-to-late stages, making it difficult for it to find another insect that can influence the protagonist.

After hearing Jian Chi's explanation, the system fell silent.

Jian Chi was really tired, so he ignored the system and fell into a deep sleep.
