The Greedy Worms are tools of the Death Overlord’s struggle to survive.
No matter how the situation changes, no matter what they themselves think, this point is beyond doubt.
But how exactly does this tool work?
This question, which has existed from the beginning, seems possible to explore at this special place.
Compared to others, Laurie and the group undoubtedly stand out in this Realm of the Dead.
And the sole purpose of the Gospel Blast is to further amplify this uniqueness.
Three bird silhouettes, almost identical, yet so gloomy and fierce, combined with the feeling akin to that of the Bone Spirit Realm, the design undeniably holds a certain symbolism.
The illusion of the Death Overlord? Or the standard uniform of its tools?
Looking up, you can see the actions of the three birds are rapidly coordinated, following a peculiar rhythm in mutual pursuit.
Could it be a transformation and fusion of sorts?
The sense of déjà vu is so strong that Fu Qian can’t help but want to roll his eyes for a moment.
In any case, from this point, it can be seen that Laurie and the others should not be "awakened" to embrace death like the elderly.
On the contrary, their individual wills have been completely removed from here, leaving only pure imprints of power.
"Is this... a ritual to summon the Death Overlord?"
Selana, who didn’t have an answer, was undoubtedly shocked by this scene and timely voiced a guess.
"I hope so."
This time Fu Qian finally responded, staring unblinkingly, expressing a beautiful expectation.
...
"You don’t seem worried about your situation at all? You look like you’re really not favored."
The situation developed excessively bold, and Selana was somewhat unable to comprehend.
Continuously executing shocks to send three people flying, could it really be for summoning the Death Overlord?
If that truly is the purpose, how bold you must be, regardless of whether the person beside is truly an affiliate of the Death Overlord.
Though come to think of it, in such a place and scene, such a result is somewhat reasonable.
"Not worried."
Fu Qian’s response remained brief, so much so that the firmness almost materialized.
"Understandable, but your ritual seems to be lacking in some conditions, their number is obviously insufficient."
Somewhat cold, but Lady Selana was not so easily scared away by this.
As she continued to observe, she even pointed out the significant inadequacy of the ritual.
"Indeed insufficient."
A third consecutive cold acknowledgment, Fu Qian continued briefly to affirm this view.
Not speaking nonsense, there was some insight in this one.
Indeed, although the movements of the three birds respond to each other, a closer look reveals that this response is evidently part of a larger system.
To complete it, a substantial number is required.
No wonder, the Greedy Worms’ team numbered more than a dozen people, only three are present now.
"It seems you’ve made some miscalculations as well, not expecting them to be so cautious? Even among the four who came, one is missing."
Selana’s tone was somewhat gloating.
"So, did you ask them about Ji Yin’s whereabouts?"
The Half-god of the Blood Clan finally showed a moment of triumph, Fu Qian graciously accepted the taunt, not only not avoiding the topic but even confirming it.
"It’s a pity, it seems no one knows... Laurie did not even respond."
Selana was momentarily at a loss to pursue further, admitting that she had indeed asked such a question before, but unfortunately, it had little effect.
"That is rather disappointing."
Expressing a sentiment, Fu Qian’s voice, however, held no discernible emotion, still staring intently at the three birds.
...
"Sorondir may be arriving soon."
Fu Qian’s reaction was so calm, but Selana was momentarily at a loss, not knowing what to do.
If this truly were a ritual to awaken the Death Overlord, then in an unsuccessful situation, the person beside ought to take more action, and she could just observe as a spectator, yet things seemed displeased.
However, if it is not a ritual... it really leads to no conclusion.
The same green glow, the same silhouette of a single-wing human-faced bird, though the white bones adorned it differently, no clear pattern emerged.
It would never combine into a complete skeleton since there was obvious duplication among the claws.
