Become a powerful shadow master in the new world

"No, you are not ordinary at all. You are a person blessed by God. You are a natural son of God. You are a natural saint. All you lack is confidence and the right teachings."

"(cry) Really, (cry) Really, is it true?"

"It is true, Your Majesty, Cid."

"Ru, if this is true, will I be able to see you again in the future?"

"I'm sorry, I need to complete my mission. I'm honored to meet you in the last period of my life. What an honor it is to guide a son of God towards the light."

"Thank you, thank you. You are the first person who has encouraged me since I was a child. Just because of this, I believe in you."

"Cry, cry, sob, sob, sob..."

He used magic to beat the tear glands to make them shed tears, and his stuttering and unstandard pronunciation, coupled with repetitive lines, perfectly expressed his nervousness and uneasiness. He perfectly performed the role of a minor character who was deceived without realizing it.

In the end, he even gave the reason that he had been looked down upon since childhood and had low self-esteem, explaining why he believed him so easily. It was because his sister who popped up in his mind when he lied just now made him feel a little guilty.

Oh, he has no conscience, that's okay.

Although Sid lowered his head and put his arms in front of his eyes to look down at Rudolph's face, it was clear that it was a face full of mockery as he looked at his stupid prey.

A sneer appeared on Sid's lips. Haha, it's still unclear who is the hunter and who is the prey.

Just as Sid was thinking this, a glance swept over him, and he was so scared that the corners of his mouth immediately dropped.

While closing his right eye and looking towards the source of the sight, he mobilized his magic power to attach it to the closed eye.

The originally disappeared vision seemed to reappear in Sid's mind through a mirror. He saw a pair of eyes with light blue pupils staring at him, and its owner seemed to have noticed his peek and blinked.

…It seems like the magic power has been increased, magnifying the lens.

Sid turned down the magic power, and the scene in his mind stepped back a few steps. A girl with long ice-blue hair and a petite figure appeared in Sid's mind.

The girl had an unusual beauty, like a carefully carved porcelain, without the slightest flaw, and translucent white skin. She was an elf-like, silent beauty.

Wow, are the quality of scammers so high now?

First, it is a world-class collection, and then it is a beautiful girl who specializes in targeting adolescent boys.

Most people would probably believe that they are the "son of God" or "the person blessed by God" after seeing a pure gold cross necklace. If a mute beautiful girl were to stimulate them at this time, they would probably even forget about their sexuality. If a real middle school boy were here, he would probably leave with you right now.

It's a pity that I met him. It's not that he won't be deceived, but he just has some unique information.

There were three people in this world whose winners he couldn't be sure of. One of them was a giant red dragon, whom he had seen when the worlds were just merged.

He had never seen the other two, but one of them had a very similar aura to the Red Dragon, so he should also be a dragon.

In his perception, the last one was in a completely closed space, like a homebody. He didn't even come out to take a look at such a big event as the fusion of the worlds. However, the breath that leaked out was exactly the same as that of an angel, but more noble. So the last one should be the "God" in the Biblical pantheon.

So, "God" has never appeared, so where did the "person blessed by God" and "Son of God" come from? He has never even seen "God". He does have several collections with extremely high "holy" attributes, but he didn't bring them out.

There is no way, this is the absolute invincible dominance of Shadow Wisdom in the intelligence war, huhahahaha, huhahahaha.

"Why, His Majesty Cid is interested in Astraluti?"

Because he was too proud of himself, he unconsciously did things like a pervert.

What should I do? Should I knock these two guys down now?

But then he would miss out on the pure gold magic cross necklace certified by the church. When he thought that after he defeated the two men, the necklace would be confiscated by the guards, and then some high-ranking officials would recognize it as corruption and sell it off, and he would have to buy it at a high price in the end...

No! No! He doesn't accept this future.

Use your brain, Sid, you can do it, Sid.

Chapter 18: Changes in Demonic Possession

"No! I'm the Son of God. How could I do something like peeping at girls?"

As expected of him, he immediately portrayed the image of a deceived middle school boy who was overwhelmed by lust but still insisted on being stubborn.

"Hahaha, there's no need to hide it, Your Majesty Sid. Although there are still many Puritans who maintain abstinence, the church has always advocated abstinence."

"Ehhhhhh!!! R-really?"

You are willing to say such things just to deceive people. How on earth can you avoid being discovered and killed by the church?

"Of course it's true, Your Majesty Cid, but I can't give Astraluti to you. She is a man-made alien demon possessed life form. She will sink to the bottom of the sea with me."

Wow, it's getting more and more exaggerated. Uncle, are you suffering from a chuunibyou syndrome now? Artificial demon possession has even come out. Let me ask, is your criminal gang called the Diablo Cult? No, your version of the cult is even more powerful than that a few months ago. Have you updated the version again?

An interesting thing is that the local specialty of the original World No. 3, "Demon Possession", appeared on women in other worlds after the fusion of the worlds. The reason is unknown, and people in the world can only regard this as a curse, a conceptual curse that binds a world.

Originally, this was nothing serious. After all, the so-called "demon possession" was a blood disease. A solution could be found by abandoning the bottom line of human morality for a few months. Even if the basic bottom line was maintained for no more than a few years, a solution could still be researched.

Just because Sid took a month to come up with a solution while others with a team would take several months doesn't mean Sid is smarter than them.

In fact, Sid still feels that he is very lucky. It only took him one month to come up with a solution, because he figured out the solution to the demon possession by chance.

For example, if demon possession is a math problem and the solution is the answer, then others would list the formulas and calculate them one by one, step by step, to get the answer.

He simply wrote a 1 after the answer, crossed it out, rewrote it with a 2, and then it was correct.

If you ask him to list the steps he will definitely get zero points, but unfortunately this is not an exam, he just passed it in one try by luck, but there is nothing he can do about it.

After the worlds merged, people from other worlds no longer viewed people possessed by demons with medieval views. With the medical technology after the fusion, if nothing unexpected happened, people possessed by demons could be quickly saved and their grievances cleared.

But as we all know, things that are guaranteed not to happen will often go wrong as a matter of course.

At first, people sympathized with the patients possessed by demons and set up a medical research institute. A few days later, the medical research institute blew up, and a space crack leading directly to the world battlefield appeared on the ruins. Afterwards, the world battlefield reported that the top combat power in the other world had an SSS-level person, that is, a transcendent.

This immediately stopped people from continuing their research, and after investigation by some forces, they speculated that the demon possession came from another world.

The other world is actually stronger than the three worlds combined, but for various reasons, they seem to need to meet certain conditions before they can come, and one of the conditions is complete demon possession.

Demon possession is not obvious in the early stage, and may even greatly enhance magic power and flesh. In the middle stage, the body will begin to become diseased and rotten, but it still has self-awareness. Complete demon possession is in the late stage, and the body will completely turn into a twisting piece of meat, and then a crack will be torn in a few days or a few minutes, and the body will be teleported to the world battlefield as a body of the alien world's combat power.

This scared the whole world so much that they banned the research on demon possession. After all, if the demon possession failed once, they would directly enter the later stage. If they failed dozens of times, they would not have to fight anymore and could only wait to die.

By the way, in order to speed up the integration of the three worlds, and assuming that there is no hope for patients possessed by demons, various forces tacitly come together to throw dirty water on the other world, saying, for example, that their world has been invaded all the time, and that most of the people who have started wars in the history of various worlds are patients possessed by demons, but they were all discovered, solved, and concealed by them. The official attitude towards such statements is neither confirmation nor denial, and neither refutation of the rumors.

Let me tell you about the exclusive information that only Sid knew. When the worlds merged, he perceived that there was a huge thing containing a large amount of magic power that was ground into powder by the collision between the worlds. Afterwards, when he rushed to the scene, he saw a huge underground pit that had been buried for at least hundreds of years. Judging from the residual flow at the scene, the pit should have buried the rotting flesh of a giant creature. The terrain changes caused by the fusion of the worlds made this pit see the light of day again.

Therefore, he still insisted on the view that demonic possession was a blood disease, and his evaluation of demonic possession was that two magical worlds encountered a biological virus and the professional mismatch was confused.

"Uncle, is she, is she really possessed by a demon?"

A voice filled with disbelief and fear came out of Sid's mouth.

"Yes, I know this is my sin. In order to pull this cursed land into the sea, I need this power. But in order to atone for my sin, I will let Astraluti sink to the sea with me."

To be honest, Sid considers himself a severe chuunibyou, but now he feels that he may not be a chuunibyou. He just has more fantasies during adolescence. The person in front of him is the chuunibyou.

"Yeah, yeah. Although I don't know why you did this, uncle, I believe you must have your reasons."

"Hahaha, I'm honored to be recognized by His Majesty Goshid."

That’s enough. He’s almost embarrassed to the point of having to deduct the price of a three-bedroom apartment.

"Uncle, I already know everything. Although there are still some things I don't understand, I think I have understood everything I should understand."

"Hahaha, you are worthy of being the 'Son of God'. You possess the wisdom bestowed by God."

No, actually Sid didn't understand. He was completely confused by the uncle's middle school setting, but in order to avoid being embarrassed if he continued to talk, he chose to lie and end the topic as soon as possible.

After making a few perfunctory remarks to the old liar in front of him, who seemed to have had a relapse of his chuunibyou syndrome, Sid seemed to suddenly remember something, walked up to Astralis, and reached out to touch the ball of fur in her hand.

I pulled hard...but it wouldn't open.

"Um... Miss Astraluti, the cat in your hand is mine. Can you please let go?"

Astraluti looked at Sid calmly, Sid's face reflected in her empty eyes, and finally she just turned her head to look at Rudolph.

"Your Majesty, you don't have to treat Sistaluti like this. She is an artificial life form and has no emotions."

Rudolph explained to Sid, then looked at Astralude.

"Astaruti, grant His Majesty Cid the same level of authority as me. Now, execute His Majesty Cid's orders."

"Orders accepted."

Facing Rudolph's order, Astaruddy simply raised her head expressionlessly, as if she wanted to memorize all of Cid's facial features.

Sid ignored Astaro's gaze and this time it was very easy. He exerted a little force with his hands and Sid took the number 24 in Astaro's hand.

After getting No. 24, Sid walked towards the cat bed while stroking No. 24's fur.

"Your Majesty, I have to go to perform my duties now. I'm sorry I can't accompany you. Astraluti, you stay here and escort Your Majesty home, then come see me."

Astarudy followed Sid closely, her inorganic eyes still looking at Sid's face, and responded at the same time.

"Orders accepted."

Watching Sid go to the other side of the monastery, Rudolf turned to a corner of the monastery and took out a heavy half-moon axe that was more than two meters high. Judging from the heavy sound it made when it was pulled out of the ground, it must have weighed at least several hundred kilograms.

Rudolf lifted up this half-moon axe, which weighed at least several hundred kilograms, with one hand with ease. He looked towards the city outside the monastery with a bloodthirsty and ferocious smile that was completely opposite to his amiable appearance in front of Sid.

Chapter 19: Astraluti

"Um, Astralude, why are you staring at my face?"

Sid was trying his best to ignore Astraluti's gaze, but anyone would feel uncomfortable being stared at for more than ten minutes.

"To remember the master's features."

Astralude's voice seemed to be free of any emotion, and her tone was extremely flat.

"Then you don't have to remember it for so long."

Sid expressed helplessness about what Astraluti said.

"I don't know. Astaro clearly remembered the master's features, but during the confirmation process, they didn't match the features in her memory. Is there something wrong with Astaro?"

It was the same voice, but Sid still heard a hint of surprise and confusion in it.

"Then there's no need to confirm it a second time. Astralude, just remember both times."

Cid looked at Astaruti with a speechless look, but still gave orders to Astaruti as an emotionless artificial life form.

I know you are upset because you were sent by that liar uncle to monitor me, so you deliberately disgust me, but you don't have to find such an excuse to deceive fools. You are not a real artificial life form, so you don't need to pretend like this.

"Orders accepted, Master."

After receiving Sid's order, Astralude lowered her head, not letting Sid see her eyes that were flashing with various emotions.

Astraluti felt that something was wrong. What she had just told Sid was not all that she perceived. She lied.

She said that she was right in remembering Sid's appearance, but when she confirmed it, there was nothing wrong with Sid's face. She still saw Sid's face, but for some reason she felt that it was different from what she remembered.

If she is regarded as a computer, the photo of Sid's face that she saw during the password reset stage was a photo full of mosaics, and the photo of Sid's face that she saw during the password confirmation stage was an ultra-high-definition photo after the mosaics were removed. Her perception tells her that the two photos are of the same person, but her feeling tells her that the two people look different.

Moreover, when looking at the second photo, Astelliti didn't know why she always had an impulse in her heart. If she had to describe this impulse, she thought Sid's face was very beautiful and wanted to keep looking at it.

But the knowledge in Astraluti's mind told her that this was impossible, and she could not possibly have such a feeling.

Is there any difference between normal people and artificial life forms?

Yes, there are many. For example, spiritual life has an urge to appreciate beauty and pursue beauty, but artificial life forms do not have this.

For artificial life forms, pain is a perception, comfort is a perception, sweetness is a perception, bitterness is a perception. These are just information transmitted from the outside world. They will not feel any difference in these information because they have no emotions. Only when they have emotions will they judge this information and feel that they hate this feeling and like that feeling.

If an artificial life form finds something beautiful, it only proves that this artificial life form has developed emotions.

So, what is it?

Astraluti didn't know, but for the first time she felt the urge to know what it was.

"Astarudi, you don't have to follow me all the time. You can go back first. I can be fine on my own."

Sid looked at Astralude who was following behind him and spoke.

He actually didn't want Astraluti to follow her and find out where his home was, because this meant that if he couldn't catch this group of scammers tomorrow night and delete their memory of the pure gold cross, his current home might be targeted by someone.

Astralute raised her head and looked at Cid. The girl's mechanical way of thinking prevented her from taking corresponding actions according to Cid's non-command words.

Seeing Astralude pretending not to understand, Sid could only sigh inwardly.

Well, he knew that this world-class collection was not so easy to get. How could a group of professional scammers really not be on guard against him, the person holding their treasure? The girl in front of him was sent by them to monitor him in case he suddenly woke up.

"Astaroth, what kind of ship do you think I will be on, and what is the situation of the church?"

Seeing that he couldn't let Astarutti leave, Sid decided to find a way to get their information from Astarutti, and try to catch this group of scammers without making too much noise, and hand them over to the security team after erasing their memories.

Wanting to know the situation of the ship leaving tomorrow night to avoid taking the wrong ship, and finding out about future work locations are two good excuses. Even if Astraluti won't tell the truth to comply with the church's settings, unless they have thought of the settings from the beginning, people will always use the truth of the matter as a template when they lie.

This time, Astaruddy thought that the word "say" in Sid's words was an order, so she spoke.

"I accept your order. In Astraluti's memory, the token in the master's hand can be used to enter any ship as long as it is presented. As for the situation of the church, Astraluti is not clear."
