Chapter 696
Find Him a Stepfather
Eivass tossed the shimmering card into the air.
It glowed in the sky—like a coin tossed at sunset, its flip reflecting a brilliant golden light.
Eivass didn’t know what kind of card a Perfect Being could be sealed into, or even if it was possible.
Because the “Perfect Being” had only appeared once as a BOSS, as an enemy, throughout the entire game’s progression.
At this time, the Sin Scholar had not yet been born…
Eivass was also unsure if the Perfect Being could be considered a “Phantom Demon.” Theoretically, it shouldn’t be classified as one, since it still possessed the ability to dream. Yet, from another perspective, the Child of the Moon, which could also dream, could be sealed into a Phantom Card… and even be made into a Beast of Sin.
Looking at the successful sealing of Anastasia, perhaps targets that had not yet fully become Phantom Demons could also be sealed.
—Eivass certainly knew that the Perfect Being wouldn’t be easily killed. Let alone the Perfect Being… an ordinary Child of the Moon at this level of attack would hardly be killed.
But at the very least, the Perfect Man·Bram should have lost his ability to resist.
If he wasn’t sealed at this moment… it would be quite impolite!
Might as well give it a try!
As for which God’s power to pray for during the sealing…
Eivass already had an idea in mind.
—Because what he wanted was the initial energy cannon fired by Bram!
The Perfect Being, as a Level 6 enemy that players had to face alongside the Eternal Pope in their thirties or forties, must have a serious issue, or else defeating him would be impossible.
In other words, this was a complete and pure mechanic BOSS, as players couldn’t withstand even a single attack from him.
The mechanic of this dungeon was that after the Perfect Being repelled the Eternal Pope at the start, he would arrogantly drone on like an idiot.
Now, Eivass understood.
After all, Bram, a follower of the Bear Heavenly Envoy, was the pilot of the Perfect Being. He had hardly experienced any serious, evenly matched battles. Since obtaining the Spider Silk Grimoire, he had always suppressed weaker beings with his overwhelmingly powerful abilities… Later, he even went to the Southern Continent to pretend to be a god and bully the even more dim-witted Trolls.
He was unable to unleash the power of the Perfect Being’s body!
In the dungeon, the Perfect Being would gleefully extract everyone’s blood, then use it to create all sorts of bizarre and grotesque life forms. Eivass had mostly forgotten about the things he created… he only remembered a Vampire afraid of light and a Snowman afraid of flames.
These beings, without exception, had fatal, mechanical weaknesses. The Eternal Pope secretly provided support and buffs to the players, hiding blessings in various locations. The players would then pick up the corresponding blessings, gain a targeted super-powerful buff, and defeat those monsters.
As long as he could make him utter exclamations of foolishness like “What?!” or “How could this be?”, time could be bought. The creations he made would become increasingly powerful, starting as a joke and gradually becoming serious, and finally requiring him to rack his brain—and the buffs secretly provided by the Eternal Pope would also become stronger.
Once all his creations were defeated individually, the Eternal Pope would basically recover. She would return to full health, snatch back the radiant energy spear created by the Perfect Being, and defeat him using his own power.
As for the “Perfect Being’s” wipe mechanic, if defeated by the monsters he casually created, or if these monsters could not be defeated within a specified time, the players would “fail his trial.” Then, they would face the direct impact of the [Heavenly Light Spear].
Once this pillar of light struck the ground, it was an instant party wipe—even skills with extreme damage reduction were useless.
Eivass didn’t lack the creation power of the Path of Love. His little sheep was a Moon Witch, who also possessed creation power.
But he was covetous of that [Heavenly Light Spear]!
That radiance was power borrowed from Xi Tian Si. Xi Tian Si had an inseparable connection with Hengwo, and the Perfect Being was the key for Hengwo to break free from the Beast Lord’s constraints… For this reason, as a Child of the Moon, even a false Child of the Moon, he could receive the power of the Sun.
Since he knew that the key to that power was the “Sun,” the choices of cards were limited.
—Sun. King. Pope.
When it came to strong masculine energy, these were the only three cards.
Among them, the Sun card was used by Eivass for the Butterfly.
Of the remaining two cards, their commonality lay in their control obsession and leadership status.
The King leaned more towards material-level leadership, diligent and hard-working, possessing paternal security and violence, being strong and impulsive, having a sense of responsibility, ambition, and aggressiveness; while the Pope leaned towards spiritual leadership, related to a pure soul, emphasizing dignity, ruthlessness, cunning, faith, distance, and persistence.
—Eivass finally chose the [King].
The Perfect Man·Bram considered himself the King of Earth; this card was a perfect mockery of him.
Despite being a mere Level 6 without divinity, he boldly called himself a demigod—implying that he was a being above all living things and below God, a “person from another world” entirely different from beings in the Material Realm.
From another perspective, he was nothing more than an ignorant infant.
Although he had lost his bestiality and achieved Perfection… he was at most a perfect child.
Because “fear” was also part of bestiality. Having lost his bestiality, he had also lost his sense of urgency and self-restraint. It was like someone who didn’t care about winning or losing the game, who might even suddenly stop playing mid-battle to turn and chat with someone—because he couldn’t understand “what would happen then.”
Eivass deeply realized one thing—the Perfect Being was not perfect.
The Perfect Being shouldn’t be the evolution of humanity—it was indeed a paradox.
Since Bram’s father hadn’t disciplined him properly, even now, with Level 6 power, he remained a colossal infant prone to impotent rage…
—Then let the true [King] govern his power!
Coincidentally, he still possessed a trace of Authority… Since he could awaken the power of Authority, even if his level was not high, it indicated that deep down, he still acknowledged the path of Authority.
“I petition the Silver Crown Dragon, the God of Sacred Number Seven!
“The God of Unquestionable Command! The God who wears a crown and wields a sword—”
Eivass declared loudly.
At this moment, the light card had flown to its highest point. It happened to come into contact with the ball of blood mist descending.
Originally, the absorption was somewhat difficult—they were desperately resisting Eivass’s sealing.
But after Eivass prayed to the Silver Crown Dragon… in the next moment, an endless icy current was generated out of thin air!
Snow-white energy howled from high above, freezing those scattered flesh and blood mist into numerous small ice crystals, which were then covered with a thick ice shell.
And the shimmering void light card suddenly emitted a suction force.
These fragments flew like Iron Man’s armor or Saint Cloths in a detached state, flying piece by piece and filling the void parts of the light card. Soon, a golden-red card was formed.
—King!
