Madman Manufacturer

The dark tide, like the unchanging stars of ages past, surged and crashed against my ears.

A ferocious roar.

The sound of teeth grinding, which sounds sour.

Strange murmurings...

These sounds were so jarring and abrupt in this otherwise silent place!

He felt as if his scalp was about to be ripped off! In the darkness.

And there were also hands, from who-knows-where, constantly stroking and scratching His face.

As for the part below the neck.

It had long been completely engulfed by darkness and chaos.

The next second.

He struggled to open his eyes, which were trembling.

The terrifying hallucinations faded away like the receding tide.

A soft ray of sunlight shone down from above the Totem Pillar.

It gives people a warm and safe feeling.

He stood there catching his breath for a while.

Then she walked with graceful steps on the empty Ancient Altar.

Although I have woken up from the nightmare.

But His eyes remained bloodshot and fierce.

Every step taken.

His killing intent would increase by one point.

Beneath that youthful and energetic exterior lies a world-weary and painful past that belies its outward appearance.

Even now that we've returned to the present world.

But those nightmares from the depths of the starry sky still haunted him relentlessly.

This is the third time He has wept before the sun since His return.

"This is what light feels like..."

Plop! Plop! Plop! Large tears streamed down from below the white cat's eyelids.

It landed on the dry ground.

It formed patches of watermarks.

He let this happen, without caring about it.

I have been wallowing in darkness for too long.

He is now even thoroughly enjoying the feeling of being scorched by the sun! Even if it's somewhat morbid.

He felt happy too!

But soon.

The ferocity in his eyes was fiercely unleashed—

That should have been our sun!

That should have been our light!

"The Celestial Gods Race!!!"

In an instant.

The roar of the "White Cat God" echoed throughout the entire Totem Pillar! "We will reclaim our sun."

"And then we'll never let him go again..."

Accompanied by bursts of angry roars.

On the altar in the sunlight.

The White Cat God gradually lowered his proud head.

After a while.

He lay on the ground in a rather languid posture.

Not far away.

He was fully aware of the chaos that had erupted in the tribe.

But He had no interest in getting involved in these mundane matters.

The life and death of ordinary people.

He doesn't care at all! He only cares whether his commands are carried out.

As for the image of the former White Cat God.

He showed no intention of protecting him.

As a returnee.

He was well aware of the good deeds His kindness had done on this land, deeds that were celebrated by all...

only.

That's all in the past.

So-called good intentions are nothing more than an incomplete version of oneself.

Or perhaps it was a disguise He wore when He was weak.

The Gods of the Starry Sky are about to rise to power.

He no longer needs this disguise as Protective Coloration!

This thought came to mind.

He suddenly turned his head away indifferently.

His gaze pierced through the magnificent Totem Pillar.

It locked onto the white orb of light at the very top, which was bound by thick chains!

The orb of light emitted a lowly, cowardly wailing sound.

It was pleading with Him not to take His anger out on the people of the White Cat Tribe.

That was the benevolent thought of the White Cat God!

"How ignorant..."

He sighed softly, "How dare mortals be the object of our anger?"

"I just happened to need a batch of blood sacrifice materials..."

Thinking about this...

He nimbly leaped to the very top of the Totem Pillar.

Then he prepared to swallow it whole! But just then...

The white cat suddenly stopped moving.

Because at this very moment.

The darkness surrounding the Totem Pillar.

Suddenly, a glowing scene appeared! An outsider was approaching! The White Cat God instinctively raised its alert level.

But the next moment.

That heightened vigilance turned into unvented anger!

It's him!

That stranger who left and then returned! That merchant who was full of lies! That despicable mortal who claimed to know martial arts!

"How dare you disobey my orders?"

The White Cat God was furious.

He didn't have time to deal with the totem's benevolent intentions.

Instead, he cast a pair of eyes full of malice, eyes that could kill a mortal!

A few seconds later.

Something unexpected happened to the White Cat God! Just as He was staring intently at the other party...

The nightmare, which only occurred when He closed His eyes, returned! A dark tide, like the unchanging stars of ages past, surged and crashed against His ears! "No!"

Oh no!

"No, no, no..."

A wail arose.

The elegant white cat suddenly began to convulse violently on the altar!...

at the same time.

The guards stationed outside the Totem Pillar heard a loud tearing sound.

Immediately afterwards.

They saw that the incredibly thick Totem Pillar had actually cracked open from the inside! Crash! The earth shook.

Stone chips flew wildly.

The entire Totem Pillar seems to be in danger of collapsing!

"This, this, this..."

The guards, already somewhat unsettled by the internal riots in the tribe, were completely at a loss.

They looked at each other in bewilderment as they watched this scene unfold.

I don't know what to do.

"Quickly, report to the High Priest!"

After a while.

Then one of the guards, who seemed a bit more clever, shouted loudly.

But the rest of his companions all looked blank.

The clever guard slapped his thigh.

I simply went and reported it myself.

However, he hadn't run far when he was pulled back by an incredibly strong force!

What are you doing?

The clever guard was a little puzzled.

Because the person who grabbed him was actually another seemingly silly companion.

This person is his childhood friend.

They rarely have their own ideas!

When the two of them are together.

Usually, it's him who says what his friends do.

There will be absolutely no attempt to stop them!

"What exactly are you doing?"

I saw that my friend seemed quite lost and dejected.

The guard raised his voice somewhat uneasily.

The next second.

The guard seemed to snap out of a daze and leaned back.

A simple, honest smile appeared on his friend's face.

Then, pointing in the direction of the Totem Pillar, he said, "It's alright, Tiger, nothing happened..."

"Were we just seeing things?"

Are you seeing things?

Are you kidding me? Tiger angrily tried to shake off his friend's hand:

"I don't have time..."

His voice suddenly froze.

Because when Tiger turned around.

The Totem Pillar that had been split in the middle miraculously 'healed'!

No.

It's less about healing.

It was as if it had never cracked at all! Tiger was dumbfounded!

"No!"

"Something's not right!"

"It's impossible for everyone to be seeing things, right?"

Tiger roared, "And we all heard that sound just now, didn't we?"

He roared with all his might.

He tried to find some recognition from his companions.

But the next second.

A scene that filled Tiger with despair unfolded—

All the guards looked at him with the eyes of someone looking at an alien! Their expressions were full of strangeness and incomprehension.

"There was no sound. You must have misheard, Tiger."

"Yeah yeah..."

"Saying the pillar cracked, are you hiding something?"

"The pillar has been perfectly fine!"

The guards chattered amongst themselves.

A dizzying sensation washed over me.

That moment.

Tiger felt his hands and feet were ice cold.

His friend next to him patted him on the shoulder with a sympathetic look:

"I think you're just too tired, Tiger!"

"Would you like to go and rest for a bit?"

This sentence is like a secret code.

Three or five burly men immediately surrounded him with blank stares.

Tiger knew something was wrong.

Suddenly.

He displayed a powerful will to survive.

He broke free from the encirclement of the burly men.

It broke through the encirclement of the other guards at an incredible speed! A brief moment of chaos ensued near the Totem Pillar.

Tiger ran wildly.

He dared not slacken his efforts in the slightest! Because he could sense it.

Those people are chasing me!

Even though they were calling out their own names.

But Tiger knew very well.

They are no longer my companions!

And that's why he knew that.

It's because he had secretly read some banned books!

I know some of the evil god's methods!

"What exactly happened to the god?"

"First came the order for a blood sacrifice, and then the demand for 30 pairs of virgin boys and girls..."

"Now the Totem Pillar has encountered this kind of change again!"

Even when running.

Tiger was also in a state of utter confusion.

But he persisted.

Relying on an excellent sense of danger.

They took advantage of their familiarity with the terrain of the tribe.

Tiger successfully broke through the guards' encirclement! 10 minutes later.

He left the center of the tribe.

They arrived at a solitary little house on the edge of a cliff!...

Knock, knock, knock! Tiger knocked hard on the door.

"Master Priest!"

The young guard knocked on the door and called out.

In the jungle behind us.

The footsteps of the pursuers came one after another.

"It's too late..."

The more Tiger thought about that scene, the more his scalp tingled.

So he turned to leave.

But at that very moment...

The door to the cabin creaked open.

A kind, aged face appeared. "Ah, it's little Tiger..."

"Come in and let's talk!"

Tiger grabbed the former High Priestess's hands excitedly and cried out, "Something terrible has happened, Lord Anger!"

"The Totem Pillar has cracked, and the guards are behaving strangely..."

"They seem to be possessed by an evil god..."

The High Priestess slowly led Tiger to sit down.

"Don't be afraid of the children."

"You are absolutely safe here."

The old man handed him a cup of fragrant flower tea.

Tiger instinctively took a sip.

I felt warm all over and my lips and teeth smelled sweet! "My lord..."

Tiger was excited and wanted to say more.

But suddenly.

He shuddered. "Why didn't they chase after us?"

The old man stared at him intently.

The wrinkles on his face began to writhe like earthworms:

"You just mentioned evil gods. What I want to know is, how do you know what evil gods are like?"

"If you've never seen an evil god, you'd have no idea what it means to be possessed by one, right?"

"Could it be..."

"Have you seen an evil god?"

The old man's voice was erratic.

It carried immense pressure!

Tiger stared wide-eyed in shock.

"No... I didn't!"

The young guard shouted.

"Okay, I believe you."

To his surprise.

The old man did not press the matter further.

Instead, she looked at him with a kind expression and said, "I think you're just too tired, Tiger."

"Let's take a break..."

The tone was remarkably similar.

Tiger was filled with fear and dread as he discovered that, without knowing when, things had started to change.

The High Priestess's face was superimposed on his friend's! He gripped the teacup in his hand, trembling.

When I looked down...

What are those flower petals and tea leaves floating on the hot water?

They were clearly segments of earthworm remains and fly heads!

"Wow!"

Tiger could no longer withstand this strange pressure.

He knelt on the ground and vomited.

His eyes gradually began to crumble!

Very soon.

Inside the log cabin.

The commotion subsided.

The guards outside the jungle seemed to have reached some kind of tacit understanding.

They quickly dispersed.

Finally, he returned to his post.

They diligently guarded that intact Totem Pillar.

It was as if nothing had happened.

"Log: You used 'Faction: Cannot Be Looked At'"

"The White Cat God has fallen into 'confusion' because it is gazing upon your true form!"

"Log: You tore apart the Totem Pillar and broke into it!"

"You have encountered the 'Chaotic White Cat God '!"

"You used ' Insane Murmur ' on the people of the 'Central Settlement of the White Cat Tribe '!"

"Record: Insane Murmur in progress..."

All the guards and nearby residents have been bewitched by you.

Only the guard Tiger showed immunity and resistance!

"You've taken control of the guards and the former High Priestess to further pressure and control Tiger..."

"Tiger has fallen! He's become one of those controlled by ' Insane Murmur '!"

The interior of the Totem Pillar.

On the spacious altar.

Roger carefully searched through the data column.

She couldn't help but think to herself, "I never imagined that such a small White Cat Tribe would have a strong man who could resist ' Insane Murmur '!"

It is possible to obtain an exemption without special training.

This Tiger is absolutely a talent!

Roger marked the young man's name on the list of "Insane Murmur".

Only then did they turn their attention to the White Cat God, who was still struggling in a state of chaos.

To be honest.

This guy's suicidal tendencies far exceeded Roger's expectations.

Just now, while we were dealing with Tiger.

The White Cat God had already struggled out of the chaos once! But who knew what would happen after he regained his senses?

He couldn't resist glancing at Roger again, even though it was a bit cheeky.

Unfortunately, he was also an Unlucky One guy.

It was judged as a failure at just one glance.

The chaotic twitching resumed.

Seeing this scene.

Roger didn't even want to do it himself anymore.

He wanted to see if he could drive the other party into a "crazy" state!

"If only it could be like that..."

"This proves there's nothing wrong with the newly assigned ' Lucky One ' title!"

That's what I really thought.

But just to be on the safe side.

Roger still expanded his domain and authority inside the Totem Pillar! The use of Extraordinary Strength is not allowed on the Ancient Desolate Continent.

But as a source of power itself.

Authority, domain, status, and laws are all tools that can be used.

The nature of the Slaughter Authority Rank is extremely domineering.

Once Roger's domain was expanded, it compressed the three major domains that originally belonged to the White Cat God— "Felidae," "Hunting," and "White Fur"—to an immense size, almost squeezing them into the edge of the Totem Pillar! This was determined by the difference between Totem God and those Heavenly Dao Ascendant.

Totem God feed on the beliefs of indigenous people.

To put it bluntly, they are a degraded version of the Divine Kingdom Practitioner.

Although it also possesses status, domain, and authority.

However, in terms of quality, it is far inferior to the Heaven Path Ascension who have undergone repeated refinement.

The difference in strength is obvious in a confrontation! The Slaughter Authority Rank unleashed a fierce attack.

As a result, Roger naturally took the initiative.

On the other side.

The White Cat God finally broke free from the second wave of chaos.

Seeing that Roger did not make a move.

He was overjoyed.

But in the end, she gave in and closed her eyes.

"Who exactly are you?"

He shouted sternly.

Roger said quite naturally:

"Isn't it basic polite to open your eyes when asking someone about their background?"

"Don't worry, I won't ambush you."

The White Cat God hesitated for a moment.

He was taken aback by Roger's ruthless methods.

The murderous intent subsided immediately.

The "admitting defeat" index skyrocketed.

"This person doesn't seem to be here to kill me..."

"At most, opening your eyes will only cause you to feel dizzy for a moment!"

"I can feign compliance for now... and wait for my reinforcements to arrive before joining forces to kill him!"

The White Cat God had a few thoughts running through his mind.

Then, he secretly used his power to contact several brothers who had returned from the stars through the Totem Pillar.

He then slowly began to speak, "You..."

You can't lie to me!

As they were talking.

He opened his eyes somewhat nervously.

The next second.

A dazzlingly bright smile was shoved right into His face! "Aaaaaaah!"

A scream erupted.

On the data panel.

"Notification: The White Cat God has fallen into 'confusion' due to gazing upon your true form!"

"A total of 3 instances of chaos have been reached!"

"Warning: The White Cat God has gone mad!"

"You have successfully driven a Totem God mad, achieving a new milestone: Forbidden Object."

"Forbidden Object: What is forbidden is a great existence that even the eyes cannot reach."

"Corresponding title: Madman Manufacturer (Your level of calmness +10%; for each character you drive insane, your calmness level will increase by an additional 3%)."

"So easily fooled!?"

Looking at the large white cat in front of me, hysterically scratching at the altar.

Roger looked surprised.
