Chapter 1649 Special Power?
"More than three hundred years have passed, and it still maintains such a high degree of tacit understanding with me."
"I really can't bear to kill you, my dear Matilda..."
Black Whale silently sighed to himself, nervously anticipating how Taotie would react.
Although Matilda's straightforwardness secretly delighted him.
However, there is also a very high risk of angering the Taotie.
If that Star-Eternal Dwarf on the other side suddenly becomes hysterical...
Then Black Whale needs to think carefully about what he should sacrifice to obtain a miracle that will ensure his safety.
Fortunately, the Taotie did not go berserk as the black whale had feared.
After a few heavy breaths, he spoke in a low, sinister tone, as if poison had been added:
"Why do you ask that, Madam?"
“Because as far as I know…” Matilda began hesitantly:
“Xu Rangxi’s younger sister, Xuan Qiongzhi, is not even a chosen one of the gods.”
“Of course, I have no doubt that she killed your mother, Xu Rangxi.” As she said this, Matilda noticed Taotie’s increasingly gloomy expression and added a sentence.
Seeing that Taotie remained silent, he continued:
"It is indeed possible for someone to successfully challenge someone of a higher level, or for someone of a lower level to kill someone of a higher level."
"But it is extremely rare for a player who is not even a chosen one to be able to immediately seize the authority of a chosen one and take their place after killing them..."
"Heh." Taotie gave a cold, emotionless laugh, and replied indifferently:
"Since the Great Revival, isn't that the only one who has ascended to the throne of gods in this realm?"
"There is no other case that proves that a player who is not even a Chosen One cannot immediately take away the authority possessed by a Chosen One after killing them."
“But aren’t we both chosen ones?” Matilda frowned, her speech quickening slightly.
"There is no information in the doctrine of ascension to godhood that suggests one could so hastily assume authority, is there?"
“But the powers we possess are not the same,” Taotie immediately replied.
"The doctrines of godhood that are learned when one is promoted to a chosen one also vary greatly."
"Not to mention that none of us have ever had the power of good fortune, and we don't know what the corresponding requirements of the creed of godhood are."
"Perhaps, that power is so special that it can be so easily taken away by people with ill intentions."
After hearing what she said, Matilda was somewhat convinced.
indeed.
Different authorities correspond to different doctrines of initiation, and only those who truly possess authority and are favored or chosen by God can know their contents.
Other players who want to understand can only summarize the target's usual behavior or simply listen to the target's verbal description.
The former is time-consuming, and the content summarized may be far from the truth and have significant deviations.
The latter, however, carries the possibility of deception.
Unless the narrator has signed a sworn oath or a slave contract, which contain strong rules and power, there is no way to guarantee the authenticity of the description.
But how is this possible?
To become a chosen one, one must already possess power sufficient to roam freely throughout the universe.
How could I possibly submit to someone else and sign a contract?
They can communicate amicably and don't slap the person asking the question.
That already shows how incredibly kind that chosen one was!
however,
Despite being persuaded, Matilda still harbored doubts about the matter.
A near-intuitive doubt.
In the past, due to the strained relationship with the Xingheng Clan, there was no opportunity to inquire.
Now that they've finally encountered Xu Rangxi's son, a person directly involved in the war to become gods, they're bound to seize the opportunity and do their utmost to get to the bottom of things.
“Although what you said makes a lot of sense, I still don’t think it’s that easy,” Matilda said.
"Why isn't it difficult?" Black Whale suddenly spoke up, interjecting with a mocking tone:
"To seize power, one only needs to follow the corresponding doctrines of godhood."
"Perhaps the elder sister, Xihe and Xuanqiongzhi, have been together day and night, and she has already shared all her secrets with her younger sister."
"As for my younger sister, Xuan Qiongzhi, she is cunning and unprepared, so success will be a piece of cake for her."
"Emotions can only be helpful on a very rare occasion; most of the time, they are a burden."
Matilda turned her head and looked deeply at the black whale, but did not continue the conversation.
Instead, she directly asked in return:
"To seize power, one only needs to follow the corresponding doctrines of ascension to godhood?"
"Aren't there any requirements regarding the fullness of divinity or the completeness of one's divine nature?"
The black whale's playful smile froze, and he fell silent.
But in my heart, I silently retorted:
"Ha, perhaps the power of fortune, like my power of sacrifice, has the ability to create miracles?"
"If the conditions are right and the time is ripe, I might be able to directly seize the power that Taotie possesses!"
"Hmph, all you need is a miracle."
"However, on another note, what kind of power does the Taotie possess?"
"Hiss... That jet-black flame must be the manifestation of power, right? I've never seen it before..."
Taotie, sitting across the table, didn't immediately respond to Matilda's question either.
However, after a moment of silence, he continued, "..."
“What you say makes sense.”
"But just because we don't know how things happened doesn't mean there's another possibility."
"I will definitely kill that bitch Xuan Qiongzhi, and I will definitely destroy the Xingheng Clan that she helped to establish!"
“I didn’t mean to stop you from taking revenge.” Matilda placed her unfinished teacup back on the table and emphasized again:
"I just feel that there's something fishy about this."
"Now that we've talked things out and the situation is clear, there's no need for me to stay here any longer."
As she spoke, Matilda stood up, preparing to leave.
Qiongqi stood up as well, seemingly to see the other party off.
But Taotie remained seated, showing no intention of getting up.
Only when Black Whale also got up from his chair, preparing to leave, did he slowly speak:
"Now that you're here, Madam, why are you in such a hurry to leave?"
"This is a rare opportunity, let's talk some more."
Matilda, who had already reached the door, stopped her tentacles and turned her head curiously, saying:
"What does Manager Taotie want to talk about?"
“Anything is fine.” Taotie didn’t look at the woman, but just played with the mask in his hand and replied indifferently.
Matilda stared at the Taotie not far away for a long time, and finally chuckled softly:
"forget it."
"Supervisor Taotie can probably guess that I came here today not for personal reasons."
"Now that I have the information I need, I must hurry back to report to the person in charge."
"A little delay is no problem." Taotie raised its face again, a cryptic smile playing on its lips.
"Does the lady not wish to learn more about the authority of 'sacrifice'?"
