I Don't Agree to the Terms-Chapter 1086 - 571: The Protagonist and the Antagonist Join Forces

"Luckily, I have a disguise on me, otherwise it would have been a bit difficult to handle."

Gu Shanhai pressed down the Mad God with one hand, while the other hand shook off the constantly creeping frost. This thing was shameless, always looking to cling onto something no matter what it was.

The Elf Clan, however, were an exception. Due to their long-term residence around the dual-star celestial body, they were no longer considered a normal Elf Clan. More accurately, they should be called the Frost Soul Clan. Their so-called strong cold resistance was actually an adaptation to the Destructive Frost, rather than true resistance to the cold.

"On that note, this god is indeed dutiful." Gu Shanhai quickly kneaded the Mad God into a small ball. After some research, he found that the reason this divine went mad was more due to overwhelming grief and an inability to bear the stimulus, leading to madness.

The death of believers and the collapse of faith were only part of the cause; the main reason was himself.

"To perish with the believers, such a unique race god is truly rare."

Faith-based gods are divided into two types: innate and acquired.

The innate ones are roughly akin to ancestral spirits, worshipped generation after generation, hence having extremely deep feelings for the race. The Mad God in Gu Shanhai's hands was in this situation.

On the other hand, the acquired ones are those who, through cultivation, gather faith, ignite divine fire, condense divinity, and eventually successfully transform. This type of faith-based god is more focused on themselves, treating believers merely as tools. They don't care about their lives, even if all the believers are gone. At most, they would fall into weakness.

Generally, if the existing faith collapses, the majority of lingering faith-based gods are acquired.

If this world hadn't still been struggling and needed this Mad God as a seed of hope after the Destructive Frost recedes, he would have probably died long ago.

Now, there's actually no difference from being dead, leaving only a frenzied flesh monster acting on instinct.

At first glance, it seems cruel, but in fact, it's another form of continuation. Once the frost melts, the original civilization can be re-evolved from the flesh, and by that time, under guidance, this Mad God can be reborn again.

However, this is a birth, not a resurrection, so the returning divine may be of the same kind but not the same entity.

"Come to think of it, it's somewhat like lying low to achieve a goal." Gu Shanhai mused on this matter.

"But has this world been so weakened by the Destructive Frost that it can't even resist?"

Under normal circumstances, what Gu Shanhai is doing is akin to taking away the protagonist of this world, and the world would certainly strike him down immediately.

Yet until now, there's been no reaction at all, like it's nearly dead.

But it certainly can't be dead, Gu Shanhai can still sense the world resisting the ever-spreading Destructive Frost.

"From the data, only the Destructive Frost of the High Magic Era poses a threat to the world, and even then, only at its peak. As long as the world endures when the peak subsides, the chances of survival are still quite high."

"And as long as it holds out until the Magic Power Tide falls to the Medium Magic Period, there would basically be no risk."

Fortunately, this world is currently in the High Magic Era, even if heading towards the Low Magic Period. However, the Magic Power Tide won't entertain the notion of a half-step Middle Magic; the concentration of Magic Power is clear-cut. The Destructive Frost won't accommodate anyone.

If more time passes, Gu Shanhai's actions would definitely invoke backlash from this world.

His purpose for coming here is only twofold: one is to observe the dual-star celestial body and the Elf Clan up close, and the other is to taste the world's ice cream flavor.

To see if it really can chill one to the core and set the spirit soaring.

He found that as long as he followed the dual-star celestial body, he could consume worlds wherever he went, and the entire celestial body world cluster could all end up in his stomach.

The Destructive Frost within the Magic Power Tide can easily suppress the world and destroy civilizations, and after this action, these worlds fundamentally have no means of resistance. Even so-called dark schemes become frozen within the frost.

Of course, there aren't no drawbacks. The dual-star celestial body is the biggest dark thread. Nobody knows what its origins are, nor what its purpose is in orbiting the entire world cluster.

If it's for harvesting, it doesn't seem like it, because if it were truly harvesting, no world could endure it.

It looks more like pure destruction and devastation.

Gu Shanhai can't quite grasp the operating principle; he can only say he's greatly shocked.

To understand more, it would require Gu Shanhai to investigate further.

He casually stuffed the Mad God into his mouth and chewed. The taste was a bit strange after all.

It looked like a meatball on the outside, but in essence, it was more like dough, and it wasn't at all chewy, with a mushy texture.

As for the flavor, it was a bit bitter and tangy. 𝙛𝒓𝒆𝙚𝒘𝒆𝓫𝙣𝓸𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝒄𝒐𝓶

"Should have boiled it first," Gu Shanhai sighed, but now that it's already in his stomach, he wasn't too bothered. He couldn't possibly regurgitate it to boil it again; that would be too troublesome.

"This thing is still somewhat useful, allowing my civilization system to advance further."

The civilization within him is just starting, even though Gu Shanhai forcibly accelerated it rapidly, the Mad God is, after all, the essence of a civilization, and perhaps even its origin. Once consumed, it naturally boosts his capabilities, even if just a little.
