We evil gods must hide.

Chapter 10 The Shattered Divinity

Fiona tilted her head.

"You can't measure it like that. This is a scale, not a divination ball."

"Alright, let's try another one. I'll throw a marked stone over there, and the price for bringing it back is..."

"Can."

Although Fiona didn't understand, she still followed the procedure.

Balance scales, gold coins, crystals.

The crystal then leveled off with the gold coin.

The probability is 50/50.

"this?"

Fiona looked on with some confusion.

"Then, if it were you, walk over there, and consider the price you'd pay for us saying goodbye."

The same result.

"So the probability of surviving or dying while venturing into the black fog is absolutely 50/50?"

"This is the first time I've encountered such an outcome."

Fiona frowned, crossed her arms, and looked completely puzzled.

"One of the core tenets of the Church of Justice is that we find it very difficult to find true balance."

Lin Qi stared at her intently.

His mind was filled with the scene of the gray dwarf falling down, and the swordsman in the black mist was clearly Fiona herself.

But he didn't mention it to the other party.

It is said that there is a terrifying being within the black mist.

Lynch suddenly had an idea.

"Why don't you try walking halfway across the stone bridge first, Your Excellency Chosen Swordsman?"

Lynch gestured for him to proceed.

"Why didn't you go?"

Fiona asked, puffing out her cheeks.

"With your better equipment and stronger abilities, you have a greater chance of survival when encountering monsters."

"hehe."

Fiona rolled her eyes at Lynch, activated her full armor, and cautiously stepped onto the stone bridge.

Even as he walked halfway through, he kept adjusting his position, fully demonstrating a believer in fairness's obsession with details.

as predicted.

The black mist began to churn.

[Hint: A mysterious entity has been alerted]

Then, as the two held their breath, the being in the black mist appeared. After seeing it clearly, eight hundred question marks simultaneously flooded their minds.

He was a fat human, with a respectful smile on his face, dressed elegantly, and wearing a white apron.

In his hand was a tray.

A roasted duck lay on top, covered in green sauce.

[Name: Fat Chef Oku]

Race: Human

【Attribute: None】

[Note: The being Fiona fears most]

Lin Qi's mouth was slightly open.

On the one hand, this scene did indeed confirm my suspicions.

The black mist will reveal what the person fears most.

On the other hand, Fiona's biggest fear is actually a cook?

Fiona's face had turned green on the stone bridge.

She stared blankly at the fat man opposite her, painful childhood memories flooding back, and she almost dropped the sword in her hand.

Ding Deng Deng.

Fiona retreated swiftly.

The fat chef smiled slightly and disappeared into the black mist.

"By the God of Justice."

Fiona looked at Lynch seriously.

"Lin Qi, there must be extremely evil magical artifacts or creatures on the other side. I think we can't let them wreak havoc on the world."

As she spoke, she took out a round, exquisite magical object and gently pressed it on a certain spot.

"What is this?"

Lin Qi asked, puzzled.

You'll find out soon enough.

Fiona smiled slightly and tossed it over.

Then he ran behind Lin Qi at lightning speed and hid, covering his ears.

Seeing her like this, Lin Qi knew she was definitely not a good person.

"That's an alchemical shock bomb, often used on the ground to dispel various area-of-effect spells. I set a delayed detonation."

"I'll definitely blow that hateful, awfully bad-cooked dog chef, who's turned into black mist, to smithereens."

"We can still see clearly what's on the other side."

Fiona said.

Lin Qi was speechless.

However, there doesn't seem to be anything wrong with the other party's choice.

A few breaths passed.

"Did you hear anything?"

He suddenly twitched his ears, as if he heard something rolling.

"What did you say?"

Fiona covered her ears, not hearing what he said, and thought he was questioning her.

Lin Qi turned around, about to loudly remind her that something was wrong, but out of the corner of his eye he caught a chilling sight—the alchemical bomb that Fiona had just thrown down had somehow appeared behind them, emitting faint white smoke.

"run!"

Lynch's heart clenched. Without thinking, he grabbed Fiona's bewildered little hand and dragged her across the stone bridge.

boom!

The loud explosion instantly reverberated throughout the stone bridge, and a violent impact swept over them, sending dust flying everywhere.

Lin Qi's mind went blank for a moment, his whole body ached, and a trickle of blood spilled from the corner of his mouth.

Without his armor, the force of the explosion nearly shattered his bones.

In the chaos, he subconsciously looked at Fiona, who, despite wearing temple armor, was also blown up, coughing up blood and looking pale.

The two people flying in mid-air met each other's eyes and saw panic in each other's eyes. They wanted to say something, but were violently blown away by the aftershocks of the explosion.

However, Fiona fell into the black mist below and disappeared.

Lin Qi, on the other hand, fell heavily to the other side of the stone bridge.

The world was spinning, I felt dizzy and my mind was a complete blur, and the back of my head felt cool.

"Damn it, I'm going to faint."

In his last glimpse, the black mist suddenly rushed towards him.

. . .

"Ouch, that hurts!"

Fiona swore she had never been so badly injured.

Being hit at close range by a tantalizing shock grenade, although her armor protected her from most of the damage, the impact still made her feel as if her internal organs were dislocated.

He struggled to his feet and wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth.

Looking around, Fiona's expression gradually became somewhat confused.

"Where is this place?"

The place before them was both familiar and strange; it seemed to be the temple hall where the two of them had always stayed, but it also seemed to be somewhat different.

"Why did I get hit by the alchemy shock bomb?"

"Where's Lynch?"

She remembered that she had just completed her fourth sweep with the other party and was discussing their future.

The other party seemed to have expressed some viewpoint.

But Fiona frowned, unable to recall what Lynch had said.

Moreover, who is Lynch?

. . .

Lynch had a dream.

I dreamt that I was the true Forgotten God, sitting on a familiar stone throne, with countless goblins neatly arranged below me.

But it's different from what I remembered.

The goblins below, clad in heavy armor and wielding heavy axes, appeared to be organized and disciplined elite monsters.

Their eyes shone with light, gazing at him with unwavering devotion and adoration.

Countless voices rang in Lin Qi's ears.

[The evil god Lynch is worshipped by goblins, Faith +5]

[The evil god Lynch is worshipped by goblins, Faith +5]

[The evil god Lynch is worshipped by goblins, Faith +5]

Pleasure.

Is this the pleasure that belongs to God?

Lin Qi couldn't help but groan.

However, as the power of oblivion surged in, Lin Qi sensed something was wrong.

With each power of oblivion, a scene would appear in Lin Qi's mind, and these scenes seemed to belong to countless living beings.

Goblins, grey dwarves, black knights, and so on.

The vast majority of these scenes are extremely horrific, with blood and flesh flying everywhere and corpses strewn across the fields.

I witnessed the scene from the perspective of the gray dwarves being vaporized by flames.

Lin Qi suddenly woke up, covered in cold sweat.

The surrounding black mist was still there, but for some reason, it had become somewhat thinner.

The stone bridge was already teetering on the brink of collapse from the alchemical bomb, and the entrance on the opposite side had also collapsed.

Fiona has disappeared.

While Lin Qi was worried, he scanned the area and saw that it was a platform that occupied a considerable area, and deep inside the platform, there seemed to be a room from which thick black mist was emanating.

He braced himself with one hand, trying to get up.

I immediately felt intense pain in my body.

My vision went black, and I almost fainted again.

He gritted his teeth and stood up, walking step by step toward the room. When he reached the door, he cautiously peered inside.

That was a table.

On the table was a gem-like object with a crack in the middle, from which black mist was constantly gushing out.

That seems to be the source of the fog.

[Hint: This is a shattered, forgotten divine essence.]
