Chapter 196 Excellent Social Skills
When that feeling of fullness washed over him, facing the imposing snake-haired old woman before him, Xia'er's eyes, which had been bewitched by the Chaos Sea, could no longer turn into circles. Let's leave the talk of feminine charm aside for now; this is a long-awaited social occasion for men.
With her senses, Xia'er unleashed indiscriminate lightning storms that pierced through countless mirror images of Chick. The witch's attacks always appeared beautiful yet deadly, and in addition to the equal amount of destruction returned to her, various curses, plagues, and weaknesses never ceased.
These negative curses didn't have much effect, after all, the negative buffs that Shael was under were much stronger than these "lower" curses. The highest level of pollution was a terrifying curse in itself, and curses can sometimes conflict with each other.
Chick didn't gain any advantage, but her gaze towards the elf was even more intense than before. The Witch Path Sequence 0's ascension ritual involved actively going to the Earth's core to accept the pollution of the Chaos Sea without falling or becoming alienated. This ascension ritual had originally made Chick very conflicted.
Angels who have seen the second blasphemous tablet generally understand what the "Chaos Sea" means. It is a remnant of the "Great Old Ones," the core of the original God, one of the three pillars. All the extraordinary beings of the five families avoid it like the plague, yet she actually has to go underground to find the Chaos Sea for free.
If Chick is truly the kind of cute girl brother who has endured countless humiliations to climb to his current position, she could simply kill Xia'er and have a chance to be infected by the Chaos Sea's pollution. This would be much safer and much simpler than facing the Chaos Sea directly. Once the witch takes off her long dress, who wouldn't be interested except for those who are pretending to be virtuous and those who are truly incapable?
Ironically, Chik's career has been relatively smooth sailing since her debut. Although she made a mistake when she was young and was forcibly gender-swapped at Sequence 7, the pride in her heart has always remained.
The gender-bending was just an accident.
I know I'm beautiful, but nobody can touch me!
My beauty is meant to be admired by only me!
Anyone who dares to mention my body will be killed by me!
Chick possessed an incredibly clear self-awareness, even if she couldn't get what she wanted from Shael in one go.
However, Xia'er's value in her eyes was not affected in the slightest. She was a living angel corrupted by the Chaos Sea, and she had great research and reference value for her.
The only person Chick knew who was connected to the Chaos Sea was the Fallen Creator.
But she clearly had no intention of going down to her old ways and being subservient. At worst, she would just go to the center of the earth. What kind of witch would she be if she didn't have any adventurous spirit?
Master Qi despises those who are hesitant and indecisive.
So, when Chick's attitude changed, Xia Er could clearly feel that the witch, who had been as fierce as a storm just moments before, softened her expression and looked at Xia Er as if she were some kind of treasure-giving boy.
It's like he's getting exactly what he needs; Chick has always been confident in his incredible luck.
At this point, Chael also felt there was no need to continue fighting, so she decided to stop. After all, fighting a witch was quite boring.
He's as shameless as the Fool, with all sorts of clones and such that he's practically invincible.
But the moment their eyes met, these two "angels" who had risen to power at full speed through sheer force seemed to sense something. Both Xia'er and Qi Ke were inclined to beat up their conversation partner before communicating, but this time their target was not so easy to deal with.
After their eyes met, the two realized they were the same kind of people, so their initial intention to stop became ruthless again.
Both of them relied on luck and the fact that they survived "eating anything" to grow rapidly, taking the lead in acquiring those high-level characteristics and then securing their upper ecological niche.
Chick is the kind of man who is truly blessed with both luck and courage.
Xia'er's path to success was also very clear. If he were thrown into a slum or the lowest rung of society, he would probably just blend into the crowd or die in some stinking ditch. He didn't have the determination and will to fight his way up from the bottom, and he was always very clear about that.
He doesn't have that ability; he's just an opportunist.
If you start with nothing, then believe in the Hidden Sage and rely on the blessings of the evil god to quickly escape the vicious curse of being stuck at the bottom, toiling away in vain.
Whether it's an evil god, an external god, or something corrupt...
Take any power that's given away for free; it's power gained by selling one's humanity.
As for the consequences... it doesn't matter... we'll figure out a solution later.
Although these two "Angel Kings" have different personalities, they do have some things in common. For example, in terms of social interaction, they both have certain shortcomings. They both believe that as long as they beat the other person up and show enough strength, the other person will have to listen to them even if they are unhappy.
Chick also had another purpose: to test Shael's strength.
She was relatively restrained. Although she tried hard to make Xia'er lie down and sleep for a while, she only wanted to play for another minute. After all, the pollution of the source material was getting more and more intoxicating, and Chick was worried that this excellent research subject would waste her limited life on her meaningless probing.
The female head of the witch family did not find it strange that Xia'er could unleash the power of the Angel King.
The pollution of the source material has this effect. As long as one is not afraid of death, this level of improvement is still considered conservative.
Chick speculated that the Eternal Sun, the God of Knowledge and Wisdom, and the Lord of Storms, all the true gods of the five families, should be able to create a Sequence Two avatar or a divine descent vessel to access the power of the Chaos Sea. The three gods could also use this method to increase their compatibility with the source matter.
This was also the solution that Chik came up with: to let the clone come into contact with the underground pollution. This might be better than directly contacting the Chaos Sea, although the main body would also be affected more and more severely over time, but the margin for error was higher.
In the eyes of the true god, Shael's method is rather useless. The true god's avatar can exert the combat power of the angel king without the power of the Chaos Sea. Borrowing the power of the Chaos Sea in this way is equivalent to taking out a high-interest loan, which is completely not worth the effort.
After a minute of intense fighting, neither of them had really hurt the other, and then they stopped almost simultaneously.
Chick restored the broken mirror world, conjuring up a jade table and high-backed chairs for the guests. Chael brought out the fine wine brewed by the Earth Pope himself, and Chick conjured two stemmed glasses. As the glasses clinked, the wine swayed, and the atmosphere became strangely harmonious.
Although both of them were somewhat disappointed that they hadn't been able to beat each other to their knees, they were still quite satisfied with this social outcome, seeing how sensible the other person was.
