Chapter 253: Part of Chapter 252!
“Did you hear that just now?” Cui Zhen’en blinked.
Everyone nodded together.
“Is this guy talking?”
“It is… the God of Causality?”
“What divinity or not, what you’ve been saying before is already strange enough, isn’t this just a slime monster!” Pedro finally couldn’t hold back anymore, feeling that if he kept silent, he would go mad before he could stay alive.
“Leisk?” Zhang Zhiyuan looked towards the boy.
The latter looked at the horn in his hands that was trembling wildly and replied stiffly, “Yes, it is the origin of the Evil God…”
“No, I am just a drop of water that has been separated, a branch, a snowflake… It wasn’t until a long time after I arrived here that I formed an independent consciousness.” The blob of slime suddenly jumped up and landed precisely on Ailuodi’s shoulder. “I can sense that the power that shaped you is of the same origin as mine. Now… take me away from here.”
Ailuodi wanted to dodge, but for some reason, although she moved a small step using Speed of Wind, there was no change—she wasn’t sure if the slime had changed direction in mid-air or if it had anticipated her position in advance.
“Hey, are you alright?” Anthony and Zhang Zhiyuan pointed their guns at her shoulder.
“Don’t shoot yet… I don’t feel anything unusual.” Ailuodi signaled them to hold their fire for the moment, “…it seems to have no weight.”
“Didn’t you say that the Evil God cannot be understood or communicated with?” Luowei Siya said, puzzled, “But we can understand what it’s saying!”
“That’s not the point. The key issue is how did it come to the world of Earth?” Zhang Zhiyuan was more concerned about safety, “If we take it to the city, will it cause a disaster like the one at Magnificent Castle?”
“Maybe Mr. Zhao would have a way?”
“Shall we ask him first… ”
Sigh.
A sigh entered their minds.
“Language is but the least efficient method of communication. Even communication through consciousness can’t hide its flaws. So be it, I will answer your questions with memories.”
As the words of the “Slime” fell, a series of visions came crashing towards them like a tsunami—
A red membrane covered most of their field of vision, with black abysses visible in the faint gaps. Then, a golden circle flashed by, and the whole world was covered in a blinding white light.
Soon, the scene switched to a snow-covered island, where a team in heavy protective gear arrived at a snow pit, their faces full of shock as they removed their winter hats.
They took out shovels tied to their backpacks and began to bend down to dig. Their conversation was very vague and hard to understand. One of the men seemed to want to move it, and the moment he bent down to touch it, his upper body exploded, with several black strips shooting up into the sky.
The people around instantly drew their guns and began to fight with the monster, blood spattering on the snow like scattered plum blossoms.
After that, the scene changed again.
In a wooden barracks, numerous experimental equipments were set up, the armed soldiers were replaced by researchers in white coats. Nearby, one could hear broadcasts and intermittent music…
The ambient noise was now much clearer than before, and the players could distinguish that the language most often used in the researchers’ conversations and broadcasts was Russian.

Memory quickly skipped forward again, and when their view brightened, they saw a ship sailing away from the port, leaving the frozen region behind. The slowly descending red flag on a distant building, coupled with the pervasive sea mist and mottled woods, made the scene seem as though it were covered with a layer of historical dust.
As they watched the sequence of sights in a trance, it felt as if they were still in a dream…
“Ah!” Cui Zhen’en suddenly let out a sharp scream.
Zhang Zhiyuan quickly looked toward the sound and saw that Pedro, who had been perfectly fine before, now had a slit in his forehead. A living brain crawled out from the top of his head, surveyed the group, and then popped into the control room, disappearing without a trace.
Pedro himself collapsed limply to the ground, his limbs still twitching occasionally.
“Is he… dead?”
“Quite the contrary, he has merged with me and achieved true immortality,” the childish voice chimed in again. “He’s different from the rest of you; he couldn’t handle such a massive influx of information. A mismatch between thought and body leads to disconnection, but don’t worry, I’ve already accepted him, so he won’t be captured by other divinities.”
“You mean, those whose brains crawled out, it was because they received too much information?” Zhang Zhiyuan asked incredulously. “On the Speed of Wind, I didn’t feel like I received any extra memories!”
“I’m telling you the facts, but you might not understand them. Be careful, even a body shaped by the same force of origin could malfunction if it exceeds its limits,” the other side said. “If you don’t understand, you can choose not to think about it, or take medication to force yourself to forget; both ways effectively prevent disconnection—those are common methods for you, aren’t they?”
“Forget about that, this guy actually came out of the Tsar Bomba…” Anthony covered his head and shook it. “Sukarnobert… No wonder I couldn’t find any inside information about Project 651; it turns out the entire research team had betrayed the country. This really is an extraordinary piece of news, hahaha… Joining Paradise was the best decision!”
Zhang Zhiyuan had also heard a bit about that period of history.
After the Soviet Union dissolved, a vast number of state assets disappeared overseas, so many that they were impossible to count, and during this time numerous oligarchs emerged. However, he hadn’t expected that even secret assets of 651’s level could be quietly siphoned off. Chances were that the higher-ups had no clue as to what the research team had uncovered on New Ground Island.
“So it really was us who brought the Evil God to this world,” Cui Zhen’en said, hand on her forehead. “This is a real problem now.”
“If what you’re worried about is the impact I bring, there’s no need,” Slime clamored. “I am a divinity, and once I regain all my power, I can reverse causality, terminate paradoxes, and restore the river of time to order.”
“Sounds intimidating, but how could a hydrogen bomb hurt you if you’re a divinity?” she said sarcastically. “Aren’t divinities supposed to be invincible?”
“Nonsense! How could something that exists in the world be truly ‘invincible’?” the other side retorted anxiously. “Furthermore, it wasn’t your insignificant power that hurt me, but the power of the Rot God!”
“The Rot God… is it nuclear weapons?” Zhang Zhiyuan frowned.
“The Rot God is decay, extinction, stillness, eternal rest! It guides the water to flow from high to low, heat to turn to cold, it leads order to chaos, the collective to disintegrate,” Slime said with an unprecedented assertiveness. “It is my mortal enemy, and your world’s destroyer too!”
A flash of inspiration suddenly struck Chaoyang as he listened—
“I said… it’s like the air, natural, even… and omnipresent.”
Leisk’s words echoed in his ears.
Suddenly, through the ship’s responder, he saw that two military vessels were rapidly approaching their direction. Clearly, the unexplained launch by DDG107 had caught the attention of the United States military.
“We should leave there first,” Mr. Zhao told everyone. “The base has been targeted, we’ll talk about the Evil God matter after we return.”
