Chapter 96: The 'Cake' Delivered to the Door
"Hahaha, all I need now is to move my hand, and I can detonate their substitutes."
"What are you going to do?" Su Tu's expression turned gloomy.
"Relax your heart and spirit!" Bakalu said.
"Here, all Extraordinary is forbidden; you cannot enter my heart and spirit." Su Tu understood what Bakalu meant.
Yet Bakalu laughed with a sheep's mouth wide open: "Humans are ignorant. This place is indeed bound by forbidden techniques set by my true form, but this body of mine is formed from the faith of the Tri-Deity Cult, so it's naturally unbound!"
"This..." Su Tu's eyes flickered, seemingly unwilling.
"What? You are unwilling!!" Bakalu spread his hands, and each substitute began to tremble, as if connected to him. With a single thought, those substitutes would be utterly annihilated.
"No, I am willing!"
Seeing this, Su Tu became panicked. He clenched his teeth, as if he made some kind of decision, and then relaxed his heart and spirit.
Bakalu saw this and let out a cunning laugh.
"Humans are foolish; you will be under my control—how can you save yourself? These ants will die along with your actions!!"
Su Tu's expression became grim.
But Bakalu moved quickly, almost instantly turning into a Spiritual Light and merging into Su Tu's inner world.
Just as the so-called substitute of the Evil God entered his heart and spirit,
the bitterness at Su Tu's lips could no longer be contained, transforming into an indescribable smile.
"Gods are stupid indeed."
"Delivering the goods right to the door."
This was the moment he'd been waiting for; he wanted Bakalu to voluntarily enter his inner world.
In this space, Su Tu couldn't harness the Power of the Heart and Spirit to deliver Bakalu, the 'big cake,' to Xue Yue.
Because of this, Xue Yue was anxious, constantly sending 'whimpering' emotional waves in Su Tu's inner world.
Initially, Su Tu was somewhat worried; after all, this little sheep toy was labeled as deity, and from its boasting, its true form seemed incredibly grand.
If he rashly let it into his inner world, who knows what trouble it would cause.
But the waves from Xue Yue reassured Su Tu.
Once Bakalu entered his inner world, it was nothing more than a harmless piece of cake.
The Extraordinary and Martial Artist are one, all flourish together and all decline together; therefore, Su Tu believed Xue Yue would not harm him.
So Su Tu pretended to be coerced.
Along with Bakalu entering Su Tu's inner world,
Su Tu felt the surrounding space change...
The twisted ram horn Divine Seal dispersed at some point.
The substitutes originally covering the entire Subspace began to continuously disintegrate and vanish.
The substitutes vanished quickly; within a few breaths, tens of thousands were completely gone.
Moreover, Su Tu felt as though this space established some kind of connection with him.
At the same time, all the tourists who've been to Paradise these past days felt as if something lost had been regained, but they couldn't articulate what this was.
Only vaguely, they felt as if someone had regained this thing for them, a strange gratitude arising in their hearts inexplicably, leading to confusion.
The entire Paradise Space bore countless torn limbs and pools of flesh, narrating a just occurred tale of cruelty.
[You have ravaged Bakalu's teasing avatar, Body Strengthening Proficiency +200, Fighting Proficiency +50]
[Strengthen Body (High Tier): 310/5000]
[Fighting (Middle Tier): 910/1000]
The system prompts also emerged right at this moment.
This trip to Paradise brought a significant increase in proficiency for Strengthen Body and Fighting.
Especially Fighting, which needs only ninety more proficiency points to break through to High Tier.
In the next few days, if he works hard, he should be able to push it to High Tier before the Training Camp starts.
Moreover, this isn't Su Tu's greatest harvest. The biggest gain has already entered his inner world.
One candy can boost Spiritual Wisdom and Dao proficiency by fifty.
So, how much proficiency will a cake formed by countless candies bring him?
Thinking of this, Su Tu couldn't help but feel some anticipation.
"Strange, with Xue Yue's gluttonous nature, it should've eaten the cake by now, but why hasn't there been any system prompts?"
Su Tu felt curious; he originally thought that as soon as the so-called Evil God's avatar entered his inner world, a massive wave of proficiency would accompany it. But now, the system remains utterly silent.
If it weren't for this being the turf of the Three Deceitful Sect, he'd love to enter his inner world immediately to check the state of the cake.
"Oh no, got caught up in the thrill of killing and forgot to ask how to exit Paradise."
Su Tu wanted to leave the Paradise Space but found that the road he came from had closed.
The substitutes involved Su Tu's friends, and the believers' derogatory remarks boiling his killing intent. Amidst the carnage, he forgot to inquire how to exit this space.
However, at this moment, the space seemed to sense Su Tu's desire.
Grrr~
With an eerie sound, a door unexpectedly appeared right in front of Su Tu.
"Huh?" Su Tu looked at the entrance, finding mirrors on the other side.
It turned out to be that mirror house.
"Is this space listening to me?" Su Tu felt puzzled, and simultaneously, an inexplicable sensation sprouted within him, like he could control this space with a word.
This feeling emerged mysteriously.
He didn't stay longer but stepped out of Paradise, returning to the mirror house.
The door did not disappear this time, quietly standing before Su Tu.
"Close the door?" Su Tu hesitantly spoke, uncertain whether his sensation held any truth.
But as his words fell, the door vanished instantly.
"Open the door." Su Tu spoke again, and the black door appeared once more.
However, this black door differed a bit from when Su Tu initially entered, but he remembered the door initially carved with images of the three deities, now etched with a familiar figure.
Limbs make mountains, flesh forms rivers, a youth stands atop a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood, like... God descends!!
The carving clearly depicted Su Tu.
"Why do they make me look like a villain..." Su Tu gazed at the carving, feeling somewhat dissatisfied.
He always considered himself a gentle and elegant scholar.
Nevertheless, now wasn't the time to dwell on such matters, as the Paradise Space indeed seemed responsive to his orders...
Su Tu's lips curled upward, delighted by the unexpected gain.
He reached out his hand and spoke: "Shrink!"
Su Tu wanted to test if this space could shrink and be carried by him; after all, if it could only exist here, it wasn't very useful to him.
But if it could be taken away, its utility would be immense. Imagine in future confrontations, facing opponents with strong hearts and fragile bodies, he could drag them into Paradise Space for forcible combat.
What kind of scene would that be?
God's iron-duel coliseum!!
As Su Tu's voice fell, the black door vanished instantly, and a small Crystal Bead appeared in his palm.
"It really works!"
Su Tu's eyes shone with joy; this item significantly augmented his power. Ordinary Martial Artists, if deprived of Qi and heart power, would be no different than little bunnies facing Su Tu...
And just as Su Tu grasped Paradise Space in his hand...
In the deep, boundless, unruled Subspace.
A pair of dark purple eyes quietly opened, releasing an invisible wave upon opening, progressing through Subspace to the present world, impacting all influenced by this wave.
In an instant, all began to turn chaotic, mad, civilizations fought, nations waged war, order crumbled, disintegrated.
"Who... has stolen... my sovereignty..."
