"Good Giant, you’re amazing."
"Yeah, yeah!"
The two little ones, like two tiny guards, stood on either side of Chen Shouyi’s shoulders.
"The brave little ones wanted to co and help you, but before we could get there, the bad guy was already killed by the Good Giant," the Shell Lady said with two excited blushes on her face, chattering in his ear like a chatterbox.
"Yeah, yeah!" the little red one echoed.
How could they say such shaless words without blushing?
"The Good Giant doesn’t need your help; just take care of yourselves," Chen Shouyi said helplessly.
"If the little ones can take care of themselves, isn’t that amazing too?"
Chen Shouyi nodded helplessly again.
"Then Good Giant, why don’t you praise ?" Shell Lady asked.
Chen Shouyi almost stumbled upon hearing this.
Do they seriously have no self-awareness?
...
This period of over a month’s refinent, though quite risky, ended without any danger, yielding incredible rewards.
His will and perception made leaps in progress, especially perception, which soared past the thirty-point threshold.
Even though the remnants of Tamu’s will still lingered in his mind, causing him occasional distress and anxiety, Chen Shouyi believed that with ten days to half a month of effort, he could gradually wear them down.
If worst cos to worst, he could activate Insight once more.
Suddenly, he felt a bit puzzled:
"Logically speaking, after activating Insight, my own willpower shouldn’t improve, so it shouldn’t have any effect on resisting Tamu’s gaze. But in reality, not only was it effective, it was surprisingly so."
After activating Insight, he could even barely withstand the opponent’s gaze.
He had a thoughtful look:
"Could it be because of Ascending Dinsions?"
The more he thought about it, the more probable it seed:
"Two-dinsional beings can’t defend against attacks from the third dinsion, and similarly, three-dinsional beings can’t defend against attacks from the fourth dinsion.
No matter how weak the attack might be.
Just like an army without anti-air capabilities facing an air force, higher-dinsional beings can strike from another dinsion, while lower-dinsional life forms have no ans of defense other than to endure.
But once my will ascended to the fourth dinsion,
I then gained the corresponding ’defense’ abilities.
Of course, this is all just my speculation and needs confirmation, but it’s probably not far off."
Chen Shouyi silently pondered this, his steps fast and sure, with just a slight push of his ankle, he crossed over a hundred ters, appearing to shrink the ground into inches, with textbook-perfect basic steps.
In a short while, he was back where he started.
The giant tal sphere, he certainly wouldn’t abandon it here.
"This thing is worth billions, bringing it back also supports national construction," Chen Shouyi thought to himself.
However, before that, he needed to carry out elent separation. Otherwise, given the current technical capabilities of Great Xia, it would be utterly impossible.
After instructing the two little ones to return to the cave,
he focused his will and pointed a finger.
The next mont, the tal sphere began to disintegrate step by step, while various elents reassembled in the air into blocks of ingots.
For a mont, the sky was like dumplings, falling to the ground.
A near accident occurred during the process.
While synthesizing a block of radioactive tal, it suddenly emitted a dazzling blue light and released high heat, obviously exceeding critical mass, starting a chain reaction.
Fortunately, Chen Shouyi responded extrely quickly, and in an instant, the radioactive tal ingot was instantly dissociated, stopping the chain reaction.
Otherwise, it could have been a small-scale nuclear explosion.
After this lesson, Chen Shouyi kept a respectful distance from radioactive elents, allowing them to disperse.
A few minutes later, all the tal ingots were collected into his space.
This was a huge fortune.
Among them alone, there were 2000 tons of gold, in addition to over a thousand tons of platinum.
Well, the gold he would keep for himself.
Though it was of no use to him.
But it was nice to look at the shiny gold at ho.
...
"There is no relevant intelligence currently, but I will notify all border defense forces to pay attention to the border situation. If there is any news, I’ll inform you imdiately."
On the day Chen Shouyi returned to Zhonghai, he called the President.
The death of a Barbarian God was undoubtedly a rather troubleso matter. Not only would the nation where the god resided fall into chaos, but extre organizations might also erge, especially if the country bordered the chaos, the border areas would be affected.
"No need to notify , I’m not interested in knowing," Chen Shouyi said honestly.
"Uh, alright." On the other end of the phone, the President had a wry smile, feeling sowhat fatigued. Although he was very familiar with General Manager Chen, every conversation with him was sowhat unsettling.
However, considering the acquisition of a Divine Corpse, he had no complaints.
"By the way, I also have a batch of tal ingots on hand, you can co pick them up along with the Divine Corpse," Chen Shouyi ntioned.
"I want to ask how much in total, so that related departnts can prepare."
"I’m not sure about the specifics, but probably several thousand tons," Chen Shouyi said.
"How... how much?" The President’s voice rose unintentionally, thinking he had misheard.
Chen Shouyi had to repeat himself.
One couldn’t bla the President for seeming like he hadn’t seen the world before; the quantity was truly astonishing. Just last year, the annual steel production of Great Xia barely recovered to a hundred million tons.
Even globally, excluding the mist-shrouded United States, it’s estimated to be only two hundred million tons.
He wasn’t aware this wasn’t conventional tal like iron or aluminum, but heavy tal, and the compressed kind at that, which would astonish him further.
Many minor gods’ weapons are made of this tal.
In the industry, every bit is treated like treasure.
...
At a temple on the India and Ba Country border.
The newly ascended god of India, Samir, and the Goddess of Agriculture sat in silence, the atmosphere oppressive and mute.
The news of the God of Power’s fall was like a bolt from the blue, filling both with dread.
After a long ti, Summit spoke with difficulty, "Honorable Goddess of Agriculture, have you ever wondered why you all went there as if coordinated, and even descended in true form?"
He was the only one who resisted the impulse and didn’t go there. It wasn’t because he was once an Ascetic and had a strong mind, but because his true form remained on Earth, making the influence minimal.
The Goddess of Agriculture felt a twinge of surprise at his words, "God of Truth, have you discovered sothing?"
"Everything has a cause, and everything has an effect; no behavior is without reason. Doesn’t this strike you as odd? I suspect an unseen force is driving us. Of course, you are an ancient deity of Tamu, so you should know more than I do."
The Goddess of Agriculture seed to ponder; she recalled Tamu’s current chaos, her face turning grim. She murmured, "Perhaps a catastrophe兆 is approaching."
