“Speaking of which, I really need to thank her properly.”

Williams smiled and said, "If it weren't for her, I would have only been able to use some messy organs to piece together a complete body.

"Her arrival, on the contrary, perfected the resurrection ritual, allowing me to be reborn without relying on other organs.

"And even more perfect than before."

A Wu Nian’s heart stirred. This was why those organs were scattered throughout the mansion—if that witch hadn't appeared before, the heart, brain, and other organs should have been collected by Williams and placed together.

In that case, if the players wanted to complete the mission, they would have to face not only the interference of the abnormal organs, but also Williams, who possessed divinity. The difficulty was a bit too great.

It's just that the embryo in the mission objective has been controlled by Williams early on. If the ultimate goal of the system is to have everyone kill Williams,

Why add the unnecessary step of having the players clear out the abnormal organs scattered throughout the mansion, which have little to do with the resurrection ritual?

Even if those organs were left alone, they wouldn't have any particularly bad effects, right? On the contrary, clearing the organs is more dangerous.

A Wu Nian was lost in thought. The Stonemason narrowed his eyes slightly,

And Dong Feng Po felt a chill. The embryo he had just seen was so ugly, twisted, and bizarre that he couldn't tell that it was once a human being.

Could such a malformed thing really be called a god?

Seeming to see his disgust, Williams said indifferently, "Don't use your ignorant assumptions to speculate on the definition of god.

"God is unknowable, invisible, unfathomable, and immeasurable.

"Exhausting the imagination of mortals cannot fully describe the profound essence of god.

"What's more, my resurrection ritual is far from complete.

"Otherwise, the moment you opened the door, you would have gone mad because you directly faced the essence of divinity."

Forest Cat did not refute. The divinity of some powerful natural gods is indeed unbearable for mortals to behold directly.

The moment they see divinity, the brains of mortals will be impacted by a huge amount of divine information. If they are not careful, they will become brain-dead vegetables, fools, or madmen.

What she wondered was how Williams, a mere mortal, could withstand a trace of divinity.

The divinity forged by the belief and will of worshipers has an unparalleled advantage over mere human nature.

Even if mortals can barely withstand the erosion of divinity and successfully deify themselves, they will be eroded by divinity, losing their self-awareness bit by bit.

For individual lives, what is the difference between losing self-awareness and dying?

From the moment of self-deification, sitting on the throne of God, possessing great divine power, and accepting thousands of worshipers is just another person.

Judging from the mystical knowledge that Forest Cat possesses, Williams' plan is a complete dead end.

Unless Williams has some other trick up his sleeve that she doesn't know about.

A flash of inspiration flashed in Forest Cat's mind, as if she had grasped some clue.

"Speaking of which, you really don't discriminate."

Li Ang looked at the motionless mud ball and laughed, "You don't mind turning into a woman?"

"Gender and appearance are just extensions of divinity for gods,"

Williams said indifferently, "I chose this body simply because she is more compatible with the life, creation, reproduction, and healing contained in this trace of divinity.

"Women are more inclusive than men."

"Well said!"

Li Ang planted his spear on the ground and clapped his hands wildly, sincerely praising, "I'm so happy to hear you say that, I can't help but clap my thighs, the exhaustion of the hot weather is gone, I'm full of energy, this society is really getting better, our women can live however we want, the corners of my mouth are rising unconsciously, happiness is everywhere, women have finally truly stood up!"

??

Williams was a little confused, completely unaware of what Li Ang was up to. "What are you so excited about?"

"I'm happy for you."

Li Ang said, "Don't be afraid of your hobbies being attacked by the world.

"A hundred-dollar electronic watch and a million-dollar Rolex show the same time. Don't be afraid of being looked down upon, believe in yourself.

"Today's society is becoming more open and inclusive. Even if you're a cross-dressing大佬, you can debut as an idol."

Williams, who had been trapped in this mansion all along, didn't know what a cross-dressing大佬 was, but judging from Li Ang's tone, it couldn't possibly be a sincere compliment.

"Hmph, crazy talk."

Williams sneered, "Aren't you people here for this trace of divinity?"

"Yes."

Li Ang generously admitted this point, "Divinity is a good thing. The higher-ups have given a death order. As the owner of the mansion, you not only need to be ordered to hand over the house for arrears in property taxes,

but also because you have divinity without reporting it, you are required to hand over the divinity to the authorities.

Even if you can really become a Buddha or an ancestor, it won't be your turn, a country bumpkin, to do it first, understand? At most, you'll be rewarded with a few hundred dollars and a banner."

"Huh? Become a Buddha or an ancestor? What are you thinking?"

Williams sneered, "I've already said that gods are existences that are difficult to describe accurately in human language. Compared to gods, the essence of humans is too fragile.

"If you want to leverage the power of life with a human body, you must pay a price.

"The bloodline power possessed by the Leslie family is the curse they inherited from their demigod ancestors.

"I don't know how many years I've studied divinity. I spent so much effort to come up with such a resurrection and reincarnation ritual, and the side effects are still huge.

"Even if you take the divinity back, you will never be able to improve and utilize it.

"At best, you'll create a divine abomination with only powerful power, or an immortal, ignorant tree."

Williams wasn't lying about this. He had heard of this situation in his lifetime.

A powerful European nobleman used his connections and spent money to hire countless mystics, trying to use the divinity of a weak natural water god to sublimate the essence of life, cure his slow illness, and even achieve immortality.

He succeeded, and he also failed.

He fused with the divinity. The disease on his body did disappear completely, and he also successfully achieved immortality. It's just that the external manifestation became a pool of spring water that will forever be placed in a golden grail, only able to respond mechanically to the outside world.

Compared to that kind of deification method that completely disappeared self-awareness, the path Williams took had fewer side effects.

Forest Cat took a deep breath, wiped her fingertips on the stone necklace around her neck, and said faintly, "Actually, you have never given up monitoring the descendants of the Leslie family, have you?

"You have been monitoring the whereabouts of the Leslie family members, especially the original owner of the body you are now manipulating.

"You watched her awaken her abilities, watched her become a witch, slowly guided her to discover the family history, discover the truth on Roanoke Island, and finally deprived her of her existence—

"That's also why you didn't actively erase the handwriting left by Mrs. Leslie in the generator room. You needed to guide the witch to your presence.

"In other words, before that, your control over the mansion itself was not as strong as we imagined."

Forest Cat stared at the mud ball, as if she wanted to penetrate the mud wall, "Considering this, combined with the fact that we were teleported away as soon as we entered the mansion,

there is a possibility,

that the witch has not completely died, right? It was she who manipulated your body, teleporting the players to different rooms, preventing you from killing them early.

"She is still having a continuous impact on your body.

"You are weaker now than we imagined."

As Forest Cat spoke, she slowly pulled out her riding crop. The other teammates who had noticed the paper-tiger essence of Williams also silently raised their equipment.
