Under the influence of the Stasis Extreme Form, Zen wasn't able to think straight.
He heard the words of the Evil God, but he couldn't fully comprehend them.
After a while, the Evil God stretched out his hand and drew a circle again in the air. Then, the hexagonal snowflake that was broken and spread out earlier gradually emerged and reorganized into the circle. As it was completely restored, Zen was able to return to normal.
The moment he came back to his senses, the Evil God's words from before drilled into his mind. At the same time, he noticed that the Evil God was now approaching him.
"Stasis Extreme Form?"
Zen's expression changed drastically as he realized how dreadful the skill was.
He was wondering why the ancestry-level bloodline couldn't restrain its power. Never did he expect that the Evil God would be able to use the power of the Deep Space.
The Evil God didn't say anything and just looked at him with a playful smile. He was enjoying this moment when he could clearly see the bewilderment on Zen's face.
He remembered Zen once told him that there was a much wider world outside. He thought that he must probably have the same flabbergasted expression on his face. But now, it was Zen's turn to experience it.
"How did you obtain such a level of power?" Zen couldn't help but ask him without hesitation.
The Evil God fiddled with the hexagonal snowflake and asked teasingly, "Do you want to know?"
"Of course," Zen replied quickly.
"Join us, and I'll tell you," the Evil God said with a conniving smile.
"Forget it then," Zen answered sternly.
Upon hearing his immediate reply, the Evil God placed the hexagonal snowflake in front of Zen. He wasn't willing to take no for an answer that quickly. "I heard that you have fought with the downgrader. You should know by now what kind of power he possesses. If you can't even resist my power, then you definitely have no chance against him. Even if you rely on your primitive land, nothing would change. You will die with everyone. But if you follow me, I can save you! I can save everyone around you!"
Zen couldn't understand where the fanaticism in the eyes of the Evil God was coming from. It was as if saving him meant saving the whole world.
However, Zen just dismissed him by saying, "I don't need you to save me."
After deeming that they had nothing more to talk about, Zen turned around and was ready to leave. The flying ship that he used was destroyed by the Evil God earlier, so he needed the Grand Teleportation skill to return to the primitive land.
However, just when he was about to enter the space channel, the Evil God swiftly grabbed and crushed it, preventing Zen from leaving. "Aren't you afraid of death?!" the Evil God yelled through gritted teeth.
"Why should I be afraid?" Zen retorted with a cold stare.
"Then tell me, what is the meaning of my existence?" This time, it seemed that the Evil God was discombobulated.
Zen felt a little confused as he saw the strange expression on the Evil God's face.
"I have all his memories, and all my talents and power are here to serve him. But I'm still who I am! Isn't that weird? Is this just the entire meaning of my life?" the Evil God asked with a gloomy expression.
At this moment, Zen and the Evil God were just avatars of their real selves. However, Zen's avatar was fully connected to his real self, while the Evil God's avatar possessed his own train of thoughts. He could move and think independently from the will of his real self.
"I can't answer that for you. You'll have to ask the Evil God," Zen said as he shrugged his shoulders.
"Then let me go with you! I don't want to go back and act like a mere slave. Besides, I can teach you how to transform power into a higher level!" the Evil God roared in a desperate tone.
Then, Zen looked at the Evil God intently. He couldn't believe that this avatar could act this way. He found that this avatar of the Evil God was a bit too emotional.
It was actually a good thing because he could make use of him.
But just as Zen made his decision to let the avatar go with him, an unknown black spiral suddenly pierced through the void.
This black spiral then transformed into a massive spear that was over ten thousand feet long. Moreover, it turned out that its target was the Evil God.
The Evil God quickly sensed the danger that it brought. He immediately lifted the hexagonal snowflake in his hand and pointed it towards the black spear. The snowflake was already about to break, but the black spear was unimaginably faster.
