Chapter 100, Section 385: The Tower of Repentance (Part 2)

Gods.

For the current residents of Terra, it is undoubtedly a distant and unfamiliar term.

However, for a black serpent that has existed for longer than the Ursus Empire, has witnessed the rise and fall of countless dynasties and races, and was even once worshipped as a god by the ignorant masses, this is undoubtedly a being that fills it with awe.

An immortal black serpent? An eternally living evil god?

Anyone who has even slightly witnessed the power of true gods would not dare to entertain such presumptuous thoughts. The short-lived race with its shallow vision simply cannot comprehend them—no, it is their greatness and power. Almost every known civilization bears their shadow.

Unfortunately, for some unknown reason, perhaps unable to withstand the erosion of time, perhaps fighting and attacking each other, or perhaps simply tired of their long lives, these beings gradually fell and disappeared.

After the first Sarkaz's astonishing act of killing a god, the only gods known to Black Serpent were the light orb in Laterano who voluntarily gave up his physical form and spread his power to all his people, and the ice man who fell into a deep sleep in the snowy region of Kjerag and lived a peaceful life as a recluse.

It's not that no one has ever coveted the power of these gods, but how could a mortal body possibly withstand it? Black Serpent himself witnessed a self-proclaimed extraordinary Emperor Draco being blown to pieces when he tried to accept the power.

Divine power is like a prison, divine grace is like the sea.

Gifts that exceed one's capacity to bear are like feeding a starving person several times their normal amount of food; not only will they fail to satisfy their hunger, but they will also cause them to die from overeating.

Black Serpent knew very well that gods were arrogant, and only ancient pure-blooded humans, the true bloodline of these gods before their transformation, were qualified to inherit this power.

Even relying on atavism, given Terra's population size, it's almost impossible; the gods seem destined to be swept into the dustbin of history.

This idea persisted until he possessed Talulah and discovered her mentor's abnormality.

Patriot completed his mission perfectly. Although he did not understand the meaning of the inscriptions in the sarcophagus altar, he made copies of them all and handed them to Talulah. She immediately realized that this was a place where divine power was passed down.

But that power has already been taken away.

Just as in the Lateran scriptures, the gods were resurrected seven days after their death from a tomb carved out of a single rock, and the sarcophagus was a sanctuary provided for the severely wounded gods to heal their injuries.

Given Qin Duanyu's actions of lying in the stone coffin after being injured for unknown reasons, combined with her practice of covering her face and not revealing any racial characteristics, it is not difficult to deduce who took away her power.

A newborn god!

Originally intending to use the Reunion Movement to stir up conflict, protect Ursus in his own way, and secretly guide everything, Black Serpent, driven by a certain desire deep within his subconscious, conceived an unprecedentedly insane idea.

She will guide this god to become the god of Ursus!

It may seem outrageous, but it's not entirely impossible.

Compared to the long lifespan of immortal beings, Qin Duanyu has not had a long time to gain power. Without hundreds of years of vicissitudes and accumulation, she possesses extremely strong plasticity. She also firmly believes that as an immortal being herself, she understands the thoughts of these high-ranking beings even more.

Moreover, after being seriously injured for unknown reasons, in order to prevent his body from being destroyed by the terrifying power, the divine power chose to remain dormant, and most of Qin Duanyu's memories were buried deep in his brain.

This is probably similar to a blonde vampire turning into a young girl after suffering a severe injury; it's some kind of magical self-protection mechanism.

So, Talulah the Black Serpent tricked some Sarkaz mercenaries into killing them and used their blood to set up an ancient ritual, successfully restricting the young god's movements. She then used this opportunity to awaken his long-dormant memories.

Although it is unclear what Qin Duanyu went through, the memories that made him abandon ordinary human emotions must have been extremely heavy and painful. Moreover, unlike the gradual and slow application of the memory at the time, the instantaneous memory recovery, with the massive amount of information superimposed, would only have a more powerful effect.

According to her speculation, Rhodes Island witnessed the fall of Yeti and Frostnova in Lungmen and personally fought against Patriot. Given that Sarkaz's stubborn nature, he would definitely fight to the death. These experiences would be enough to affect his emotions.

To Talulah the Black Serpent, escaping pain, shedding the burdens of human emotions, and becoming a god who looks down upon all living beings was a foregone conclusion.

"Hmm..." After an unknown amount of time, Qin Duanyu let out a long breath and regained consciousness.

"Doctor, that's great, you finally..." Chen's worries eased a little, and he hurried to Qin Duanyu's side, but was startled by the pair of red eyes under the mask and instinctively took a few steps back.

Seeing Chen's actions, Qin Duanyu didn't say anything, but her body trembled slightly.

“Mentor, you see, this is the kind of race humans are. Fragile, complex, and selfish. They will kill their own kind for food, and they will harm their own kind for the sake of lust. They are short-sighted and narrow-minded, and they will never think from the same perspective as us.” The black serpent Talulah stepped forward and said in a seductive tone, “Come, come to me, I will accompany you through many years.”

Upon hearing this, Qin Duanyu slowly turned her head.

“That’s right. As time goes by, life will be extinguished, passion will be worn away, but we will live on forever!” Seeing this, she was even more convinced that this was a sure thing. “Come on, Ursus will be your ally, and I will be loyal to you!”

"So, humans are really interesting..." Although it was a joke, Qin Duanyu's voice was devoid of any emotion. He reached out to the black snake Talulah, who immediately revealed a radiant smile.

At this moment, Chen, who had been frightened, mustered up his courage and suddenly rushed in front of Qin Duanyu.

"No, Doctor, you idiot! I have nowhere else to go, I definitely have to come to Rhodes Island, and the sweater I promised you... don't even mention wearing it inside out, I can twist the front of it together if you want..." she said incoherently, feeling at a loss for words for the first time.

Chen couldn't spout grand theories like Talulah, but if he didn't do something soon, Qin Duanyu might really be kidnapped. So he just said whatever came to mind, trying to bring him back.

"Okay, you said it, I didn't force you, the land-based ship will deliver on its promise later!" Qin Duanyu's voice returned to its usual cheeky and irritating tone, with a reassuring flirtatiousness. "Sorry, life is tough, and I've done a lot of things I regret, but compared to becoming that kind of person, I still think that being close to a girl can better ease my inner pain."

We've been tricked! He didn't abandon human emotions at all!

After a brief moment of surprise, Chen's face turned bright red, like a ripe tomato.

After a brief moment of surprise, Talulah's smile froze instantly.

Clearly, she overestimated herself.

They also underestimated the bond between Qin Duanyu and the girls.

"Stop hitting me, stop hitting me! We have important business to attend to!" Qin Duanyu casually blocked Chen's small fist and turned to look at the black snake Talulah. "Could you please leave my foolish disciple's body?"

PS: Compared to the power of LSP, the power of God is nothing!

Chapter 101, Section 386: How Terrible is a Woman's Jealousy?

"You want to expel me from this body? Please do so." Knowing the difference in strength between the two sides, the black serpent Talulah showed no intention of resisting. Instead, she bluntly spread her hands, shrugged her shoulders, and adopted a submissive posture, ready to be slaughtered.

But his eyes revealed an air of complete confidence.

"Who are you mocking? You lost so badly." Chen frowned and asked in a cold voice.

During her time with the Royal Guard, she had arrested countless criminals, some of whom begged for mercy on their knees, some who cursed and were defiant, and some who pretended to be nonchalant and gave up resistance. But Black Serpent Talulah was completely different.

At this moment, Chen felt that this guy was like a purple-haired, habitual thief from Carter's, with the demeanor of a street ruffian. However, his sneaky expression was somewhat inconsistent with her image as a schemer.

"Mocking? No, I just didn't know what expression to use." Black Serpent Talulah maintained her languid expression as she casually said, "They deceived everyone in the Reunion Movement, even colluding with the Ursus local army they despise the most, but these pathetic infected have been wasted..."

"Isn't all of this because you took over Talulah's body?" Chen said in a huff.

Because of this madwoman's so-called way of protecting Ursus, countless residents of Lungmen were displaced, and the Guardian lost many of their colleagues, not to mention the innocent victims in Chernobog, and the infected who were tricked into going to their deaths and were kept in the dark until the very end.

“No, no, no, I can’t do anything Talulah doesn’t want to do. She didn’t object at all when I did these things.” Black Serpent Talulah held her longsword to her neck and said with a wicked smile, “Guess what, after everything that’s happened, can Talulah still live? Or rather, does she still want to live?”

"What are you doing? Put down your sword!" Although Qin Duanyu was watching, Chen did not let his guard down, but he never expected that the black snake Talulah would do this, preparing to perform a throat-slitting act in front of them.

Talulah is the best hostage.

"The despair in her heart, the inescapable regret, was so intense that it made her want to commit suicide!" Black Serpent Talulah pushed her longsword forward, warning Qin Duanyu and Chen not to act rashly, and then continued to speak with a cold smile.

"Doctor, quickly think of a way to wake up the little tower!" Chen looked anxiously at Qin Duanyu, subconsciously hoping that he could come up with some ideas.

“Physically destroying Talulah is easy, but dispelling Koschei... sorry, that involves a blind spot in my knowledge.” Qin Duanyu shook his head with feigned helplessness. “However, this method of forced parasitism is unlikely to work if the host is unwilling.”

"Can Xiaota rely on herself? But she's completely..." Chen immediately understood why he was able to reach the core control tower so smoothly.

The black snake did this to kill Chen, thereby severing all of Talulah's thoughts and making her willingly become a host. This also shows that the real Talulah was only temporarily suppressed.

"Don't worry, I do have a way to motivate her."

"Then what are we waiting for? Hurry up... mmm... mmm mmm..."

Qin Duanyu had taken off her mask at some point, grabbed Chen's head and slapped her lips wildly, her hands moving up and down, even touching the most sensitive part of her tail. Chen, who wanted to resist, lost her strength and could only make strange noises in vain.

Seriously, they're still fighting!

The sword in Black Serpent's hand almost fell to the ground, and Talulah, whose consciousness was suppressed, was also thrown into a daze.

Is it a distraction?

It's useless!

She gripped her longsword tightly again, and sneered. As long as she couldn't be dispelled, even if she could be physically restrained, Talulah would still have a chance to commit suicide.

"Chen, oh no, Huijie, your figure is definitely better than your sister's, and after trying it out just now, I found it's even better than I imagined. You exercise regularly and have a superb feel for it. I really like you!"

"Look at Talulah, she doesn't understand people at all. Not only is she flat-chested, but she also wears a military uniform all day long. Even Black Snake understands more than her and knows to change into a dress, although this dress is quite ugly."

"You'll be coming to Rhodes Island after this is over, right? I'm going to appoint you as my assistant, yes, to put it bluntly, as my secretary. When there's work to be done, the secretary will handle it; when there's nothing else... cough cough cough. Also, regarding the sweater you promised, you can wear that to work from now on."

It's one thing for them to just talk back and forth, but Qin Duanyu would also take advantage of the gaps to say things that make no sense. Black Snake even began to suspect that the Doctor had gone mad. They were about to crash into the Dragon Gate, and he was still flirting with girls.

Why did the power of God choose such a thing?

Gradually, she realized something was wrong.

The initial deep regret transformed into intense jealousy and envy, as if a flame was burning within her, and her control over Talulah's body was gradually weakening... When Qin Duanyu asked about the child's surname and name, a scream interrupted their discussion.

Black mist rose from her body, lingering and refusing to dissipate. Trapped inside, Talulah clutched her head in anguish, seemingly struggling against something.

"Xiao Ta, how about you take care of my and the Doctor's child for a few days in the future?" Chen also understood Qin Duanyu's meaning, took his arm, and said in a pretentious manner.

"Koschke, get out of my body! I'm going to take my mentor away!" Talulah said through gritted teeth, her face contorted with rage.

Accompanied by a shrill, unpleasant hoot like an owl, black mist drifted into the air, leaving only the white-haired Drak kneeling dejectedly on the ground.

Failure is not uncommon for Kosic.

As long as she accumulates enough power, there will eventually be another Chernobog, another Talulah, another Lungmen... But she never expected that she would be defeated by a woman's jealousy. That powerful and awe-inspiring mental force forced her out of Talulah's body.

"Xiao Ta, are you alright?" Chen rushed over, trying to help his half-sister up.

"I'm sorry, I didn't expect Koschei to do this. I... I destroyed everything for countless people, but I won't kill myself, I don't dare to die. I don't deserve to die so easily." Talulah shook her head and, with her own efforts, stood up shakily.

"Then go and make amends for your mistakes, and spend the rest of your life making amends! By the way, you've been arrested! Perhaps neither Lungmen nor Ursus is qualified to judge you, but I believe that sooner or later a fair enough organization will be able to judge your life." Chen Yi said righteously, but his tone revealed deep concern.

"Have you been spending too much time with your mentor and even picked up his rhetoric?" Talulah handed the weapon to Chen, adopting a prisoner-of-war stance. "Long time no see, my sister."

"Long time no see, sister. It seems I successfully rescued you." Chen Zhanyan smiled and gave her a hug.

"But let me make this clear first: I'm grateful, but I won't give up my mentorship to you!"

"You? Wasn't the scene of me being intimate with the Doctor just now enough to make you back down?"

"My foolish sister, you'll never be my match in scheming!"

Snapped.

The sisterhood is broken.

"Gentlemen, have you forgotten something?" To avoid getting caught in the crossfire, Qin Duanyu pointed to the floor beneath her feet. "How about we stop Chernobog first?"
