Beating Instances through Words Left by the Dead

Chapter 84: Chapter 84: Proof of Sloth

After a massive feast, Wu Chang consumed the life force of 60 fishmen, bringing his strength value to 100.5 and causing his body size to swell to 11 meters.

If it weren’t for the need to resist the call from the deep sea, which required retaining a certain amount of will, he could have eaten even more.

What concept is a three-digit strength attribute?

In the Moonlight Sanatorium, even if Randy, possessed by Leman, took an elbow from him, it would leave Randy dazed.

The projection of the Evil God is already like this, let alone a Divine Envoy in a C-Level dungeon.

With one slap, the armor on the Divine Envoy shattered, and their entire body was embedded in the dock, turning into a spread-handed emergency exit figure.

Through the sense of touch, Wu Chang could feel that this slap had landed solidly; anything hard on the Divine Envoy’s body, be it armor or bones, even kidney stones, would be shattered by this blow.

Yet, despite such serious injuries, the Divine Envoy did not, like other fishmen, have white mist representing life force float out of their body; instead, they froze momentarily like a disconnection before regaining vitality and struggling to climb out of the pit.

Can’t handle it, used a Resurrection Coin?

He tried slapping again, and just like last time, after a short moment of stillness, the Divine Envoy revived again.

This time, he understood somewhat.

According to Matty, the dock in the Inner World is the townsfolk’s memory of being pirates.

Correspondingly, the fishmen are the former townsfolk.

Perhaps, unlike the fishmen, the Divine Envoy was never alive in the first place; it exists as lines of code or a program to maintain certain things.

Like facing a program that keeps popping up, just clicking the × at the top right isn’t enough.

Directly pulling the plug is the solution.

If there’s a core like a power source at the fishmen’s dock, without a doubt, it’s the statue of Count Jermaine.

This time, he switched targets, grabbing the remnants of a wooden boat on the sea surface, and fiercely slammed it towards the bronze statue.

The bronze statue did not collapse; like a video affected by signal interference, it became blurred and distorted, but after a short anomaly, it quickly returned to normal.

With Wu Changlai’s strike on it, Count Jermaine’s statue didn’t say anything, but the Divine Envoy on the ground became anxious, significantly speeding up their attempt to get up.

Anxious, which means he hit the right spot.

If from within the Inner World the statue cannot be destroyed, what about attacking from inside and out simultaneously?

Wu Chang’s True Self raised the wooden boat remnants again, while outside the Inner World, Wu Chang’s true form also arrived at Briff dock.

He raised a large hammer in his hand, synchronized with the Inner World’s True Self, smashing towards Count Jermaine’s bronze statue.

Bang!

Accompanied by a thunderous striking sound, the hammer hitting the bronze statue seemed not to strike metal but rather onto a transparent block of gel.

The ripple from the impact visibly spread through the air.

The ripples from the Outer World seemed to resonate with those from the Inner World, and with a snap, Count Jermaine’s bronze statue cracked, and along with it, the space where the statue stood.

The space shattered like glass, revealing a doorway leading to the Inner World.

On the other side of the door was the True Self in giant whale transformation state.

The True Self canceled the transformation, returning through the other side of the door to the real world, closing the door connecting the Inner and Outer Worlds.

Wu Chang found within the debris of Count Jermaine’s statue a miniature statue resembling a chess piece, carved with a running figure.

”Item Name: Proof of Sloth”

”Item Type: Special”

”Item Description: Possessing the Proof of Sloth allows free access to the special space—fishmen dock. In the fishmen dock area, you will be regarded as a Divine Envoy, empowered to judge the target’s sins. If the target’s Good and Evil Value is below 5, they will be determined as a sinner.”

”Note: In the presence of a Divine Envoy, the attributes of sinners will be significantly reduced, the reduction extent dependent on the sinner’s Good and Evil Value.”

The Outer World’s dock also counts as part of the fishmen dock area; with the Proof of Sloth in his hand, he gains the authority of a Divine Envoy, able to see the Good and Evil Value of others.

He glanced at himself in the mirror, and the Good and Evil Value reflected from him in the mirror was 20.

Clearing the backlog of mail at the post office, equivalent to completing several weeks’ worth of work in one day, caused his Good and Evil Value to soar significantly, coupled with the bonus from his status as Town Councilor, directly stacking his Good and Evil Value to 4 times the normal amount.

On Briff Island, he truly qualifies as a bona fide benefactor.

Just now, the kind-hearted Councilor Sean dispelled the resentment from the anger of an innocent.

With Matty’s self-destruction, the Inner World was breached, and blood-colored will from the former postman dissipated slowly.

Although Wu Chang didn’t entirely follow the blood-colored will requirements, didn’t actually lock Matty for long to see if he would go mad from prolonged inability to work.

But he successfully imprisoned Matty, completely stripped Matty of his work, and with Matty’s final self-destructive move being Matty’s proactive choice, it is still considered Wu Chang fulfilled the blood-colored will.

Completing the blood-colored will of the former postman granted him 1 point of energy, 1 point of will, and 2 points of inspiration.

Additionally, it provided a tight suit.

”Superhero’s Tight Suit”

”Artifact Level: C”

”Item Skills: Image!”

”Skill Description: The tight suit can change its appearance and model adaptively according to the user’s request, ensuring a perfectly tailored fit, with absolute comfort in fabric adherence.”

”Note: As a superhero, a dazzling image is indispensable; you wouldn’t want to break your clothes during transformation, letting your buddies or kitty say hello to the audience, right?”

”Item Skills: Energy Shield.”

”Skill Description: When equipped with the Superhero’s Tight Suit, an energy shield layer will be generated based on the user’s highest attribute, capable of resisting physical and energy-type damage; upon leaving combat, the shield’s durability restores 1% every minute. If the shield is completely shattered, it will enter a twenty-four-hour cooldown period.”

”Note: Being tough is the protagonist’s most crucial virtue; even if the villain is killed by the plot, your health bar needs to last until that moment.”

Wu Chang threw the Superhero’s Tight Suit to the True Self; the True Self chose to equip it, instantly transforming into a tight swimsuit.

The swimsuit adhered completely to the True Self’s body, making slight adjustments based on the True Self’s characteristics.

Upon activating the concealable mask, the True Self appeared like a miniature form of the giant whale transformation.

The swimsuit continuously adjusted its fabric based on the True Self’s stance, ensuring no excess folds in any posture; upon close inspection, it could be found constructed from countless hexagons, looking highly advanced in technology.

Having lost the D-Level item Earth Lizard Hide Armor, Wu Chang had been seeking a suitable armor, and the Superhero’s Tight Suit arrived just in time.

The Energy Shield was extremely practical, especially for someone like him who is intensely focused, with one attribute being incredibly high.

With his 92 points of Inspiration Attribute, the tight suit at C-Level in his hands exerted effects at least two to three times those of other people.

Yet compared to the second skill, he currently needed the first skill of the tight suit more.

Not all transformation techniques can simultaneously protect the pants as well as the Hulk transformation.

The True Self, just having undergone Giant Whale Transformation, though quickly draped in a Black Robe upon shrinking, was still stark naked during battle, even now in a vacuum state.

Without this tight suit, using Giant Whale Transformation outside the Inner World later would make for an exquisite scene, almost too unimaginable.

Crimson Courtyard, Red Wave Space, Dungeon Waiting Hall lounge room.

Lin Jiang suddenly stood up, ignoring the surprised gazes from others, shouting excitedly:

”The pollution level of Peaceful Town has decreased by 10%! I knew Sword Star could do it!”
