Chapter 89: We’re all friends here
Chapter 89: We’re all friends here
Although carrots are nutritious vegetables, they are not the focus right now.
Inside the cage, the snowman looks suspicious.
First of all, it is only level 5, with zero attack and defense, slow movement, and 10 health points. People usually call this type of group an experience monster. A random small monster can kill the snowman with just two punches.
But Jimmy has the "Undead" attribute, which allows him to resurrect.
Lu Yao is ready to give it a try.
To be safe, he selects "Miracle" and a lightning bolt strikes the snowman’s forehead.
The snowman screams in pain and its body disintegrates into a pile of snow.
Lu Yao waits.
After ten seconds, the snow on the ground gradually condenses and the snowman Jimmy stands up again.
"If this makes you happy, please feel free to hit me."Jimmy grabs the cage with his hands and optimistically says, "I will always resurrect. When everyone is in a bad mood, they like to hit me. Have you encountered something unhappy recently?"
Lu Yao uses another lightning bolt to blast it into snowflakes.
Soon, Jimmy stands up again.
"Please feel free to hit me as hard as you can. It will make you happy! We are friends, after all."
...
After seven consecutive experiments, Lu Yao confirms the value of the "Undead" ability.
This ability is indeed incredible.
If used properly, the snowman Jimmy is an unlimited bait, perfect for catching big fish.
Lu Yao imagines it in his mind.
When encountering enemies, he can send out the snowman Jimmy, who will be instantly killed. However, he will keep resurrecting, and his inherent "Zero Degree Domain" is a large area slow zone.
Throw the snowman into the enemy formation, slow down everyone nearby, and then use "Aegir’s Fire" for a ranged bombardment. Perfect.
Highlighting a suicidal attack.
Lu Yao’s gaze shifts.
The "Curse of the Old God" is a bit tricky.
- Being cursed by the old god, he is sealed in all directions.
Jimmy, the snowman, was punished by the god and became the current level 5 appearance.
And...
Lu Yao looks at the snowman.
The snowman in the cage is knocked down by the Blood Knight’s sword, but quickly rebuilds itself.
"You are amazing, very strong! This feels like the feeling of a strong person, a bit like a tyrant."
"Amazing and powerful knight!"
Isabella pierces the snowman with her holy sword.
After a while, the snowman wobbles and stands up again. "This power is magical, it has the taste of spring and life."
The Deep Sea Lord approaches and crushes it with a claw made of starfish.
Soon, Jimmy trembles and returns to its original form, saying, "The taste of the sea, your attacks have the smell of the sea. It feels so nostalgic... but unfortunately, I don’t remember where I have seen the sea."
It keeps dying in the hands of the trio, but it seems accustomed to death and resurrection, actively chatting with them.
"What is the outside world like now? Ah..."
"It should be much brighter than here, right? It’s so gloomy here, without any color... Wow!"
"You all look different, how did you meet? Yiyaa!"
"..."
Lu Yao understands.
Jimmy, the snowman, has been trapped in the abyss for too long and is a bit mentally unstable.
But it’s normal.
Locked in a cage like a bird, not only being watched by people but also experiencing various ways of death, even the weakest ghoul here can easily kill him.
Under such endless torture, it’s optimistic enough not to go completely crazy.
Lu Yao is a bit skeptical.
He doesn’t know which god Jimmy offended and how big the grudge is to inflict this kind of indefinite imprisonment torture on him.
But since it’s called an old god, it means that it has already fallen. There is no need to worry about conflicts at the divine level.
Of course, there is another possibility.
That is, Jimmy, the snowman, is a notorious criminal who has been cursed by the old god and transformed into his current appearance. It has been stripped of its memories and is being punished in the form of a snowman in the abyss, enduring the punishment of immortality.
...
Lu Yao takes a sip of Eternal Wine and decides to take action.
He starts commanding Isabella.
"Snowman."
Isabella says, "The great god Yao pities you and is willing to forgive your past sins, freeing you from the cage. Are you willing to believe in the great God Yao and offer your faith and loyalty to him?"
The snowman is stunned for a moment.
"..."
"I am a sinner cursed and punished by the gods. Has the god truly forgiven me?"
"The merciful God Yao is willing to forgive your past."
"Really? Is it true?"
The snowman leans closer to the cage, somewhat unbelieving.
"Hooray, hooray!"
"Praise the god!"
"I am willing, I am willing! The merciful God Yao, the great and generous God Yao!"
The snowman dances excitedly, swaying and swinging its fluffy hat.
Lu Yao is relieved now.
The Apostle’s Mark only has one requirement for use, which is that the target must be willing.
Now, relying on the two miraculous buildings, he holds two marks, so using one is not a problem.
Lu Yao clicks on the mark with his mouse and drags it onto the snowman’s forehead.
A reminder pops up on the screen."——To convert it into an apostle of your temple, you need to consume the power of faith. Do you wish to consume 10 faith points to convert the apostle?"
【Yes】【No】
Lu Yao clicked yes.
"——The lost apostle has heard your call. Your power of faith has repaired his broken body and dried-up soul, and he is rapidly recovering from the sea of death."
"——【Apostle】Snowman·Jimmy, follows your will, executes your divine oracle, and fights for the fire of your faith."
The somewhat comical snowman knelt on the ground, looking obedient and devout.
Looking at the prompt on the game interface, Lu Yao nodded in satisfaction.
Done, the self-destructing apostle is ready.
However...
Lu Yao was a bit puzzled.
Why is the snowman still in the birdcage?
Fortunately, the trio of Blood Knights took action, and after a round of fierce bombing, they finally broke open a hole in the black birdcage and completely rescued the snowman.
Jimmy knelt on the ground, raising his branch-like arms: "Praise the Lord, thank you for your kindness and goodness! You have saved the humble snowman Jimmy!"
He quickly got into his role and began to inform Isabella of the situation here.
"The ruler of the first layer of the abyss is a tyrant, in the Mirror Kingdom ahead."
"Although the tyrant has been stripped of his godhood and divinity, and has fallen to a demigod after being demoted, he is still very powerful."
"He controls the Mirror Kingdom, even if trapped in the abyss, he is omnipresent in the Mirror Kingdom, never falling..."
The snowman’s description startled Lu Yao.
It’s a good thing he didn’t rush forward.
The big boss of the first layer is actually a demigod?
This strength has exceeded Lu Yao’s expectations, and he indeed ordered a retreat.
The dungeon trio quickly withdrew from the 【Black Abyss】 with the snowman.
...
Coming from the gloomy abyss prison to the bright normal world, the snowman was very excited.
With its short legs, it ran around on the grass. Jimmy raised his branch-like arms high, running excitedly in circles, scaring away a flock of seabirds.
"Light! Spring!"
"Is this the real world? Everywhere is the breath of life, everywhere are wonderful smells and colors."
"Long live! Long live God Yao!"
The snowman, like a child seeing snow for the first time, stumbled around, with a happy emoticon popping up above his head.
Looking at the snowman Jimmy in this state, Lu Yao suddenly felt a bit regretful.
This guy seems a bit dim-witted... quite different from the Blood Knights.
It’s going to add to Isabella’s burden again.
Lu Yao double-clicked on the snowman’s head.
Jimmy’s panel was exactly the same as before, still Lv5, attack and defense 0, speed 2.
【Undying】was still there.
The only change was that the snowman had a new description for one of his abilities.
【Old God’s Curse LV10 (10000/10000)】
Lu Yao immediately realized.
The power of faith can lift the snowman’s curse.
