Norton's attack failed, and he seemed to know that he was powerless to resist. He collapsed to the ground, unable to bear the immense pressure on his body any longer.
"Puff!"
With the pressure of Kuba's life Pressure, cracks reappeared on his skin.
Cracks began to spread across Norton's decaying body, and even his pale face was covered in fissures. Kuba didn't seem to be in a hurry to kill him again, which left his body filled with endless pain, like being in a hellish Hell, constantly enduring the agony of his body breaking apart.
As Norton launched his sneak attack, the pale bone nail he threw failed to harm Kuba, who was floating in mid-air. When even with the help of special effects weapons, it was still impossible to overcome the gap between the two sides, Bowser's inner emotions finally collapsed.
Centuries of planning, just as success was about to be achieved, ultimately crumbled under the despairing oppression of his Existence Level. Such a realistic and cruel outcome seemed to have completely crushed Norton's heart, which had been taut for a century.
The oppression of his Existence Level was so overwhelming, and the outcome of his century-long scheming was so laughable that he lost all will to live. He collapsed to the ground, defenseless, and burst into laughter as if he had suffered a mental breakdown.
She even laughed through her tears.
"Hahahaha..." A sharp and maniacal laugh rang out from Norton's cracked mouth, which split open to the corners of his lips. His limp body collapsed and reformed repeatedly with the laughter.
Norton's maniacal laughter was filled with endless sorrow and bitterness. As he laughed louder and louder, his laughter even began to distort, eventually turning into a wail of grief. He sat on the ground like a madman, utterly heartbroken.
He even cried and screamed like a madman, revealing his most cherished secrets.
"Hahaha... Waaaaah... You're right, Kuba, I'm an outsider, I'm not a soul of this world!"
Do you think it's easy for me, Norton?!
I, a modern person who has experienced peace, stability, freedom, and equality, have been transported to this fucking world in a dream! And I've even become a priest in that dark Church, suffering twenty years of torment!
I wasn't allowed to look up, communicate, or have any personal desires; I wasn't even allowed to leave the house for twenty years. Who wouldn't go crazy in that situation?
I'm not some thoughtless child!
He told me to eat people, so I ate people; he told me to Mass, so I attended Mass. I originally thought that I would be cautious and careful in obeying the Church's orders. I thought that as long as I was obedient, one day I could become a missionary who was allowed to go out. I always fantasized that I could go out and see the world like other missionaries, instead of being oppressed by the Church. But after I finally went out to attend Mass for the first time when I was twenty, they tied me to Norton stake in the name of serving God!
Did I, Norton, break some cardinal rule?
Fortunately, I wasn't burned to death. I finally became Vampire. I originally thought that I could go anywhere in the world now!
I happily found a remote mountain forest, built my own house, and lived in seclusion there.
However, those monsters that roam the mountains and fields all want to devour me as soon as they see me. I can't even live in seclusion. Whether in the city or in the wilderness, I can only be a fugitive forever!
Am I guilty? Kuba, huh? Have I committed a crime?
Why do all the hardships befall me?
The Church has Holy Knight who specialize in hunting Vampire, and there are all sorts of monsters in the wild. They even waited for me Norton, for ten years!
I, Norton, have been a victim from beginning to end; I, Norton, am the one oppressed by this Garden of Eden!
Since this Garden of Eden doesn't welcome me, I'll transform it into a place that welcomes me!
To survive, I racked my brains and plotted meticulously. I discovered that I was indeed different from the creatures of this world. My flesh and blood could induce mutations in them; if I devoured enough, I could transform them into entirely new species. To fight against the Church, to fight against those monsters, I even went so far as to feed bats with my own flesh and blood, causing them to mutate and cultivate New-Type Vampire, so that my Blood Progenitor could prosper and this world could become suitable for my survival. Was I wrong?
All I ever did was try to survive; all I ever did was try to escape oppression!
But the dark Holy Lord Church sees me as a thorn in their side, a thorn in their flesh, and for years they have sent Holy Knight to hunt me down. Various monsters relentlessly pursue me, and even those damned Werewolf have united to hunt me, devouring my flesh in an attempt to evolve. Even the Blood Clan I created have betrayed me at every turn. Seeing that the bats that have undergone complete mutation by consuming my flesh are of the same origin as me and can truly harm me, they have been plotting day and night to devour my flesh when I am off guard, in order to completely eliminate me.
What did I do wrong?
Am I, Norton, not worthy to live in this Garden of Eden?!
After countless hardships and sufferings, and a century of planning, I have finally strengthened my Blood Clan, slaughtered all the monsters in the wild, and completely severed the lineage of the dark Church that had lasted for thousands of years. I am finally about to gain my last freedom. However, at this final moment, Bill, the only person who has been close to me and the only one who has been sincere to me for so many years and who has accompanied me for ten years, actually betrayed me and released you, this so-called god!
My century-long plan has come to naught in a single move!
But I had already seen the light at the end of the tunnel, and was about to gain true freedom, and then you just appeared out of nowhere again...
I, Norton, have been in this world for hundreds of years, and I'm truly exhausted. To hell with this damn Garden of Eden, Laozi 'm done! Laozi never want to stay here again... Hahaha... Waaaaaah...
This plan failed; it was fate, it was fate!
Norton lay on the ground, laughing and crying at the same time. His body was completely relaxed, and his mental state had completely collapsed. He even revealed that his own flesh and blood could undergo mutations and that he was a transmigrator, all while releasing his emotions.
And everything he said was the truth.
However, he didn't mention any of the mistakes he made, nor did he mention the downgrade in Existence Level after eating his own flesh and blood, which resulted in a complete mutation and placed him below Norton.
Hajinuo is quite skilled at quoting out of context, and his use of euphemisms and subtle references is also very good.
His entire body collapsed to the ground, limp with emotional breakdown, and even glistening tears of blood flowed from his eyes. His decaying face was devoid of all the previous scheming and acting skills, now completely devoid of any trace of grief or despair, his face numb and even his eyes had become utterly wooden.
His unrestrained words were unintentional on his part, but were taken to heart by the listener.
Floating beneath the crystal atop the mountain, Kuba, who had seemed to have his attention fixed on the sun, finally turned his head slowly, revealing a strange smile on his exquisitely perfect face.
"I see. I knew there couldn't be anything truly immortal in Garden of Eden. After all, even God had weaknesses in Garden of Eden. How could you, a mere, extremely weak outsider, possibly live forever with your barren soul?"
It turns out it's because your foreign soul crossed the boundaries set by God, and to kill you, it needs to enter your boundaries...
Norton, loose lips sink ships. If you don't spill your secret, I really can't do anything about it.
My time is running out. If I cannot kill you now, in order to prevent God's will from entering my body, I will have no choice but to return to the cross once more.
And you can continue to be your God in the Garden of Eden through your extraordinary power.
Unfortunately, you've revealed your own weakness. It seems your life is truly as unlucky as you've said...
Kuba had no doubt about the veracity of Norton's words.
First, Norton even admitted that he was an outsider, and that his own flesh and blood could cause mutations. Who would reveal such a secret unless they were truly heartbroken?
Secondly, even if he didn't say that Kuba couldn't kill him, even if he could crush him indefinitely, Kuba would still need to return to the cross in the end, and Norton would regain his freedom.
Third, his barren soul and inferior physical Existence Level made it impossible for Kuba to see any possibility that Norton might rebel or set a trap.
Kuba has been a god for too long; he has become accustomed to the height of his Existence Level.
Just as Norton's physical Existence Level lower than Kuba's, so even a bone nail made from God's bones could not penetrate Kuba's divine body, Norton's barren soul, though possessing some special talents, was too weak and inferior to Kuba believe that Norton could harm him in any way.
After all, people are of different Existence Level, and no amount of scheming can overcome the difference in their Existence Level.
Even when he, Kuba, killed God and dismantled His divine body, it was because Kuba's flesh and blood Existence Level identical to God's!
