[Data Deletion]
After the God of Desire fell from his Divine Rank, he could no longer be called a "Deity".
Even if He is not Lin Yu's [Summoned Creature], He will not be restricted by the Wall of Rules set up by Shen Bingmiao - after all, the God of Desire is not even a permanent resident of the Divine Realm.
He had long since lost even his own Divine Kingdom.
However, as a Deity who has fallen from Divine Rank, in terms of rank and strength, He is even inferior to some of the more powerful Chosen of God.
But...
Now, the situation has changed.
Because Lin Yu used the [A Brand-New Name and Home] and the status of this Former Deity to create a somewhat ambiguous atmosphere, he successfully impersonated the Senior Sister...
Therefore, with the blessing of "belief", Lin Yu has temporarily acquired a status and identity equivalent to that of a "Deity".
Now, Lin Yu has used the [A Brand-New Name and Home] to conversely bless the God of Desire, helping Him to temporarily return to... the status of Deity.
The God of Desire today is not far removed from His peak form.
Therefore, the Desire Golden Light that He releases, which entwines around the "Diviner," does more than simply cause the "Diviner" to become mentally confused, Hallucination, or fall into a dreamlike state.
At this moment, the power of Desire around the "Diviner" became increasingly solidified, transforming into clusters of... glittering, Entities gold.
The gold, like thorns, transformed into some kind of restraint, binding the "Diviner's" body, the sharp thorns piercing his skin, causing blood to flow freely.
This is a personification of the Diviner's Desire for "material things"!
Then, beneath the Diviner's body, the flowing blood grew increasingly viscous and heavy; his body was gradually becoming heavy and hard—bones, muscles, blood, organs...
As the gold flowing from the Golden Thorns seeped into his skin, the Diviner seemed to be transforming into some kind of metal statue.
This is a concrete manifestation of his Desire for "fame and fortune"!
At the same time, while his mass increased, his body was slowly shrinking—or rather, it was aging in reverse.
The Diviner's hair is getting shorter, his height is getting shorter, his hands and feet are getting smaller, and his features are getting more and more childlike...
He seemed to have transformed from a young man in his twenties into a child.
This is the embodiment of his Desire for "immortality"!
The three transformations combined almost turned the Diviner into a Golden Child statue entwined with thorns.
The Authority "Desire," wielded by the God of Desire, produced an almost bizarre effect when confronting an enemy of equal "higher rank."
Furthermore, the Diviner can sense...
These processes of thorns, gilding, and regression are not merely "symbolic" or "superficial."
His body and energy flow had become incredibly stiff; not only did his movements become painful, but even his thoughts Living Beings level. At the same time, the skills and experience he had acquired seemed to have regressed to those of a child.
Indeed, Diviner's willpower allows him to control his "Desire," and his endless, almost greedy Desire can become a kind of "drive" and "motivation," rather than a harm.
But...
The changes that occurred in the Diviner at this time had nothing to do with willpower.
His own Desire bypassed his will and, under the influence of Authority, directly manifested their negative effects on him.
And all these negative effects... are not the real "killer move".
Because after these changes occurred, when the "Diviner" attempted to deal with the Authority of "Desire"...
The Authority "Game" and "Rule" also exerted its influence simultaneously.
On the "Diviner," the same "status panel" as that of the previous Demon Ancestor Gantuo appeared.
The data-driven, Game panel is connected to the soul and body of the "Diviner," and to the individual "Player" as part of the "Death game."
Given that the negative effects of the "Desire" Authority were already sufficient to weaken the "Diviner's " combat power, Lin Yu naturally did not inflict more negative status effects and control effects on the Diviner as he had done against the Demon Ancestor.
The influence he exerted on the Diviner... was only one.
"Instant Death."
Before the Diviner's eyes, the words "Death game" appeared in blood.
But this time, there were no hints or Rule.
It's just meaningless gibberish.
[ソ测试百度%E4%B8%AD%E6%96%87ぉ╂𫓺ソ]
The garbled text scrolled rapidly, accompanied by a sharp beeping sound, and then quickly the characters flashed, transforming into meaningful text.
The bright red character for "death" filled the Diviner's field of vision, and at the same time, the Diviner could feel his own Life Force and Soul Power rapidly dissipating.
The soul and body are... uncontrollably heading towards "death".
Even Diviner, in that moment, couldn't help but feel fear and panic.
He finally realized that the "God of Games and Rules," the "Hacker," this madman before him, wasn't just "buying time."
Or rather, while her goal was indeed to buy herself ten minutes, she was also genuinely... trying to kill herself here.
"Damn it, doesn't this guy's use of 'Authority' consume his own energy?! Even if she hasn't fallen into a true, eternal slumber yet, and was just pretending before... wouldn't this level of 'consumption,' this method that directly affects me, a 'Tier 4,' immediately cause him to lose his self-awareness?"
The "Diviner" thought quickly, realizing that his time was running out.
At this rate, let alone ten minutes, even one minute later... he'll have to close his account completely!
Despite the surprise and confusion, the Diviner did not feel that he was in a "Desperate Plight".
"The 'Game,' as the 'Supreme' Authority, coupled with its perfectly compatible 'Rule'... is indeed a formidable opponent!"
The Diviner looked at Lin Yu and sighed.
His life was as fragile as a candle flickering in the wind.
But Lin Yu could sense that... the Diviner's tone didn't seem like someone who was truly desperate.
Although he had gained full Authority the "Game" and the "Rule," Lin Yu did realize just how terrifying his Senior Sister's potential was.
But he still doesn't believe that this method can really ruin Diviner!
Perhaps, by cooperating with the God of Desire, they could kill any Demigod, any "Tier 4" being.
But... he is definitely not the strongest "Tier 4" Diviner, the number one person below the Deity.
What's your solution?
Lin Yu looked at the "Diviner" and asked.
The Diviner, entangled in Golden Thorns, transformed into a golden statue, and still in a state of Instant Death despite his shrunken form, calmly raised a single finger.
"As long as it involves 'Authority,' then my general explanation of 'Authority' can be applied."
As he spoke, the "Diviner's " "Heart Domain" opened.
Within the "Heart Domain," a vibrant, beating heart appears in the "Diviner's" hands.
This time, the "Diviner" didn't crush it, but instead gently lifted it up.
"Respect it, respect it, for Heaven's will is clear, and destiny is not easily changed."
The Diviner whispered, "This heart keeps spreading and growing, sprouting transparent parts that seem both illusory and real."
This heart grew a body that was like a human's, yet different from a human's.
In that instant...
A shattered Destiny, Fragment of Fate, seemed to transform into a complete "Destiny."
But...
This is not a real "Destiny," but rather the "Destiny" Authority Projection past or future, past or future, complete or about to be complete states onto the present due to its own characteristics.
This false Authority of Fate is bestowed upon the "Diviner," temporarily excluding the influence of the Authority "Desire," "Game," and "Rule."
This is the "comprehension" that the "Diviner" came to understand.
Most "Authority"Authority are mutually exclusive!
The influence of Authority that acts directly on him will dissipate as he attempts to incorporate and merge with another Authority.
Especially the special Authority of "Destiny".
At the same time, due to the special nature of "Destiny"... at this moment, although the "Diviner" may seem to be merging with Authority in other Authority, the integrity of "Destiny" is currently false, and he will not truly and completely merge with "Destiny" and bear the risk of hastily merging with Authority.
Therefore, under such methods...
The Diviner has returned to "normal"!
The gold color on his body dissipated, the thorns disappeared, and his appearance returned to that of a young man.
The blood-red words in my field of vision faded away, and the process of life and soul being lost ceased.
Only...
After all of this "stopped," the Diviner discovered an even bigger problem.
Everything before was merely a cover-up and a disguise.
Even the terrifying "Instant Death" effect was some kind of disguise—which sounds incredible, like someone using a "nuclear bomb" to create a "feint" and divert attention.
But it did happen.
That "Instant Death" is still not the most terrifying method that the other party can inflict on oneself.
The Diviner raised his head and looked at Lin Yu.
Half of his body has been "digitized," as if it has become some kind of "Information Lifeform."
Meanwhile, these "data-driven" aspects... are "disappearing".
It's not "Instant Death," nor is it the previous "loss of Life Force"... This process is even more irreversible than everything that just happened.
"What kind of tactic is this?"
The Diviner stared at Lin Yu and asked in a low voice.
Lin Yu laughed.
"This... is [Data Deletion], 'The Diviner' is [Data Deletion]."
Although no blood-red words appeared before his eyes, the "Diviner" could clearly sense that this [Data Deletion] was the true means imbued with the will of the "Death game".
How did you do that?
The Diviner asked again.
Lin Yu's smile widened.
"Even though you always call me a 'Hacker,' don't forget, everyone actually calls me an 'Administrator.'"
"I am the Administrator of the 'Death game'... This is the Authority of authority granted to me by the 'Game'."
"Enjoy this, Diviner, you are the first—the first 'Player' to suffer an attack from the 'Death game' Administrator privileges!"
