Full-Time Public Enemy

Chapter 798 - 533: The Contract of the Evil God_3

"So no matter what happened in between, I never hesitated to continue. I believed that the Principal would definitely protect me from behind."This was indeed the truth, as Chen Gu had really thought this way from the beginning, but such a guess could not be shared with others.

However, at this moment, Chen Gu's inner thoughts were not as calm and certain as his tone; instead, he felt slightly panicked. Principal, venerable elder, you absolutely cannot have set me up!

After all, a super life form that had once tried to kill him was right in front of him.

Xulong and the others were dumbfounded. A super life form can transform into a human?

What can't a super life form do!

No, that sounds disrespectful to a super life form. It should be, what *can't* a super life form achieve?

I wonder if super life forms can read minds?

Super life forms have genders too?

The famous Milgorey is actually a girl?

Milgorey swept her gaze lightly over Xulong and the others, and their minds instantly froze, entering a state of utter thoughtlessness.

What a pity. At least this particular super life form, Milgorey, possesses the ability to read minds, perhaps similar to the skills of a Brain Domain Hacker.

The thoughts of these "lower life forms," like Xulong, made Milgorey feel rather offended.

"Alright, you're right," Milgorey said indifferently. "Your Principal has a hand in this matter."

Chen Gu heaved a long sigh of relief. His reaction almost made Milgorey want to smile, but she refrained. Whether or not to display human-like emotions depended entirely on her own whim.

"Do you know what this is?" Milgorey asked, looking at the huge monolith.

Chen Gu, of course, did not.

Xulong and the others, still kneeling on the ground, heard the conversation. But with their minds frozen, they were oblivious and would retain no memory of it.

Milgorey had already foreseen this.

"Before seeing this thing with our own eyes, neither I nor your Principal dared to be certain it truly existed."

The super life form, who could effortlessly control her emotions, rarely revealed genuine feeling. Now, a mixture of admiration and shock colored her voice. "Even as a super life form, having experienced what you humans would call an immeasurably long existence, I never imagined such an item could actually exist."

"Its design is so exquisitely ingenious that it would leave any intelligent species utterly spellbound!"

Milgorey gazed at the symbols on the stone stele, her silver pupils radiating profound admiration.

After a full five minutes of contemplation, Milgorey finally said to Chen Gu, "This is a contractual document... Hmm, how to describe it precisely? Its contents are exceedingly complex and ingenious. It's possible that in the entire Star Sea, no other contract exists that is as rigorous and brilliant as this one."

"It accurately and clearly defines the boundary between mutation and madness. The Evil God who established this contract made a pact with His believers in the real world: Believe in Him, and do not go mad."

Chen Gu's mouth slowly fell open. This contract... it overturns everything I thought I knew!

An Evil God from the Endless Realm could actually achieve something like this?

What is He after?

Mutations are usually accompanied by uncontrollable emotions like madness, brutality, and mania. Yet this Evil God is like an incredibly generous gentleman, saying: 'All the benefits are yours; I'll find a way to shield you from the drawbacks.'

To wield the power of mutation yet retain one's own free will, with one's mind uninfluenced by the Evil God...

Chen Gu suddenly understood why the Mutants in those hanging coffins could "die a natural death." Undoubtedly, those Mutants were all believers of this Evil God.

Milgorey continued to survey the colossal monolith with an entranced gaze. "This Evil God... He must be an outlier even in the Endless Realm. His way of thinking is entirely different from other entities."

"Only believers who have left their mark on this contractual document can enjoy its protection."

Those skeletal remains belonged to this type of believer. That's why their remains are lethal weapons to a Mutant like Dou Mao.

They are protected by the contract, while Dou Mao is not. If the two encounter each other, Dou Mao would effectively be violating the contract, thereby offending the Evil God who established it. Death would be inevitable.

It wouldn't matter if Dou Mao's mutation was caused by that Evil God's idol or not.

Then, Milgorey forcibly tore her gaze away from the monolith. "I mustn't look any longer. I'm afraid I'll become utterly engrossed in it."

She sized Chen Gu up anew. "Regarding what happened last time, you surely hold a grudge against me, don't you?"

Chen Gu gave a dry laugh and replied insincerely, "I wouldn't dare."

"Hmph," Milgorey said, unfazed. "You are indeed special. But even if you do hold a grudge, it's of no consequence. For you to grow to a point where you could pose a threat to me, it would take several decades at least."

"I have to admit, I was deceived last time. There aren't many in this Star Sea who dare to scheme against me like that. Consequently, they paid a sufficient price to appease my 'wrath.'"

Chen Gu was skeptical. Milgorey wouldn't genuinely be 'wrathful.' She would merely simulate wrath to extort enough concessions.

"However, your Principal did approach me. Out of... respect for him... yes, respect. Beings of our level generally hold each other in high regard. We don't easily start conflicts over minor issues; that would only allow other entities of our station to watch gleefully from the sidelines."
