Volume 8: Future · Gap 4 · Competitive Games Chapter 55: Jörmungandr
In this game, the Poison Spirit Society undoubtedly poisoned the game.
The first to come on stage was Shi Yu, and after he came on stage, his condition was not quite right.
Although he was still suppressing the opponent, there were always some small problems when dealing with the opponent's moves, and he even lost points in places where he shouldn't have lost points.
Obviously, he was only fighting an opponent with low resonance rate and insufficient strength, but he made countless mistakes and various problems occurred frequently.
"Check yourself to see if you have been poisoned ." Although Old Wang knew that the Poison Spirit Society was shameless, he still felt extremely unhappy when the incident really happened.
The other few people who did not play also started to check themselves, but they did not find the problem. Therefore, it is likely that the poison has not yet taken effect, but needs to be triggered by the opposing player.
After Shi Yu won a game and returned to the coaching booth to rest, he informed Lu Bai and others of the situation.
"Once the battle begins, your senses will become sharper, and then you will have some hallucinations and see some scenes that are not like the human world. Your concentration and even your inspiration will be affected."
Shi Yu's statement made Lu Bai instantly alert. This statement seemed very similar to the real dimension he had encountered before - critical point.
The distortion of inspiration is critical.
Lu Bai's Mandala of the Other Shore was created based on the wild spirit of the critical monster alien demon species.
Critical things are extremely strange and can distort a person's inspiration and thoughts. Your inspiration will be entangled with the critical point.
It can be said that Criticality is an extremely dangerous dimension. In Lu Bai's eyes, it is much more dangerous than the Netherworld or the Filthy Land.
After all, there are succubi in the abyss. Those succubus ladies who can do both S and M make the abyss very tempting.
But at the critical point, there is really nothing left, only all kinds of strange monsters that distort your mind.
The outer dimension of Poison Spirit seems to have some connection with Criticality?
Or could it be that the poison they used this time just happened to be somewhat related to Criticality?
This is not surprising.
The reason why the real dimension is called the real dimension is because of its huge influence.
The earth is in the real dimension of Starry Sky, and Starry Sky is a starry sky type dimension dominated by volume.
So although the Earth is connected to various real dimensions, it has not deepened these connections and further polluted them.
The Church of the Thousand-Dimensional God is also taking great precautions against this.
But it is different for the outer dimensions, as they are much more deeply polluted by the influence of the real dimensions.
Although it is not as serious as the previous Demonic Land, where the entire dimension was pulled into the abyss.
However, it is normal for people to often summon demons or cause pollution and alienation incidents.
When normal people go to the outer dimensions, that is the true investigator mode.
The possibility of exposure to real-dimensional contamination is much higher.
Therefore, it is quite normal for poisonous spirits to possess critical-level poisons.
Shi Yu was poisoned, and his inspiration was a little abnormal, but it had not yet reached the point of critical contamination. With Shi Yu's ability, all the poison that had been revealed was expelled from his body during the ten minutes of rest.
But this poison is indeed a bit too much.
How they behave themselves in the mainstream area and how they treat drugs as daily necessities is their own business.
But now it is used on others, especially on people in their Zhongzheng District, which is the greatest sin.
Some things, even if decades or hundreds of years have passed, will not be forgotten and treated as insignificant trivial matters.
Shi Yu just smiled and returned to the stage.
In the second game, Shi Yu looked at the villain on the opposite side with a very calm face.
The man opposite him couldn't help but sweat profusely.
An ominous feeling arose.
The second game started with Shi Yu serving.
An inexplicable oppressive atmosphere enveloped the scene.
It was like the stuffiness on the sea before a storm, or like there was an immovable rock blocking my chest.
"Three Demonic Spears: Earthly Python!"
The first of the Three Demonic Spears is called the Kraken, which symbolizes a sea monster that grabs everything and drags it into the deep sea, that is, the engulfing power of the sea.
The second one is the giant snake of the world - Jörmungandr.
Jörmungandr is a being in Norse mythology. He is the second son of Loki, the god of trickery, and Angrboda, the giantess, and the brother of Fenrir and Hela.
Odin saw the threat of Jörmungandr and because of Ragnarok, he threw the young Jörmungandr directly into the bottomless sea and sealed him at the bottom of the sea.
Jörmungandr grew bigger and bigger, and finally on the day of Ragnarok, he broke through the blockade and had a decisive battle with Thor, the god of thunder.
In that battle, Jörmungandr was killed by Thor, who hit him on the head with Mjolnir, and Thor was pierced through the body by Jörmungandr's fangs , dying from the poison.
In the process, the venom spewed by Jörmungandr polluted the entire ocean, and the poisonous gas filled the nine realms.
And because it surrounds the world and is connected from beginning to end, it is similar to the Ouroboros.
Therefore, Jörmungandr actually symbolizes the cycle of poisonous things in the world.
Ragnarok in Norse mythology is an irreversible fate. As time goes by, more and more poisonous things will accumulate in the world.
Jörmungandr absorbs these poisonous substances to grow, and then uses these poisonous substances to destroy their source.
In this respect, it is similar to the unstable equilibrium line of Ophiuchus.
The only difference is that the main body of Ophiuchus is the poison of man, while the main body of Jörmungandr is the poisonous cycle of the world.
The air behind Shi Yu seemed to freeze at this moment. One could vaguely see a shadow moving and changing. A monster of an indescribable size was hovering behind Shi Yu, swallowing and spitting out something.
"Since you like poison so much, then I will return all these things to you!" Shi Yu served the ball, and the power of Jörmungandr was activated at this moment.
All the poisons they had applied before were reflected back at this moment, like venomous fangs, piercing into the bodies of the opposing players.
Shi Yu is not an expert in using drugs, but his expertise is in using his power to overwhelm others.
The poison of Jörmungandr is not a very strong one. It is generally poisonous substances from nature such as environmental pollution. The toxins returned are mainly the poison that the opponent had previously used.
The opponent is a poison expert, so his body naturally has a lot of poison resistance. But in terms of toxicity alone, Jörmungandr's poison cannot even catch up to the opponent's expertise.
However, when it comes to the argument of toxicity, there is a saying that goes like this: Talking about toxicity without considering the dosage is just hooliganism.
And when the dose is large enough, plain water can kill people.
Shi Yu is now the one who is playing hooligan with the other party. Jörmungandr's body is so big that it can circle the world with its head and tail connected, so it is called the Midgard Serpent.
The poison that was given to Shi Yu before was returned a hundredfold at this moment!
With just one ball, the opponent was speechless and fell to the ground, looking at the sky with a silly smile on his face. His body twitched unnaturally, he had incontinence, and a large number of poisonous sores appeared on his body. He looked more like a ghost than a ghost.
Shi Yu did not just go on like that, but instead swept his eyes across the people from the Poison Spirit Society. His usually friendly eyes were now filled with murderous intent.
"If you want to die, keep going!"
After saying this, Shi Yu turned around and won the battle.
The ten-minute halftime did not help to calm down the situation.
When the second player, Yi Houwen, came on the court, he kept attacking throughout the whole game, forcing the opposing players to retreat again and again.
But throughout the whole process, Yi Houwen did not show any abnormalities.
I don't know if he was scared by Shi Yu, or because the opponent felt that it would be difficult to win even if he used tricks or poisoned him, so he completely gave up.
It was Guan Qi's turn to play in the third game.
Her complexion still wasn't very good; just one night's rest wasn't enough to make up for the loss.
The person opposite looked a little hesitant, and even tried a few times in the middle.
It’s just that witchcraft has been inseparable from poison since ancient times.
With the advantage in strength, Guan Qi fought back the moment the opponent tried to cheat, and the man finally chose to give up.
After Guan Qi finished his work, he immediately came to Lu Bai's side, put his hands on Lu Bai's body, and observed Lu Bai with his eyes. This look made Lu Bai look a little puzzled, but he also vaguely grasped something.
" I think I know where the poison is."
The other party's behavior of tentatively trying to activate the poison that had been prepared before, and then giving up, just happened to expose the hidden poison.
"This poison should have been given by the coach on the opposite side." Guan Qi said as he started to take action.
A poisonous snake crawled out from her sleeve and bit Lu Bai's shoulder.
The venom penetrated into Lu Bai's body, and then Lu Bai sensed something, as if there were some misty clouds around him, and his body was becoming lighter.
Various illusions appeared around, and the world became distorted.
But this illusion soon disappeared.
Lu Bai himself had experience in fighting against critical points. With his desire and devilish nature, he restrained his running inspiration, and the illusions around him disappeared.
At the same time, Old Wang on the other side also extracted a worm-like thing from Lu Bai's body.
Then the referee robot was called over.
Use this little bug as evidence and ask the referee to check and determine the cheating behavior of the Poison Spirit Society.
If you really want to poison someone silently, even though we know it, we will have no choice but to accept the loss.
But if we can identify the problem, you will have to pay the price.
The halftime interval of the game was then extended. Under the witness of the referee robot and representatives from each district, Guan Qi used the same method to extract the same insects from Jie Li, Ning Sa and others.
The coach from the Poison Spirit Society's face turned dark, and then he stood up and admitted his mistake to everyone, taking all the blame.
Given his status, he could be spared the death penalty, but he could not escape the punishment of life imprisonment.
I guess I'll be stuck in one place for the rest of my life.
