Magic Deity: Godly Choices - Chapter 265

Chapter 265: Demon Beetles

This kind of abnormal phenomenon had never happened in the Second Continent, and he had never seen a similar situation in any of the shrines.

However, he had a faint feeling that this kind of golden aura might have an important connection with the lock of the power hierarchy.

Su Han sat cross-legged on the bed, thinking about the connection.

“Lord Su Han, you should rest first. Although I don’t know where you came from, if you want to stay here for a long time in the future, my brother and I can solve the problem of your identity.”

Dina smiled and said, “During the war, because people die every day, it’s impossible to register everyone’s identity. So, Sir, you…”

Before she could finish her words, her face suddenly turned pale, and her whole body went limp, kneeling on the ground.

Su Han opened his eyes and frowned slightly. He quickly helped her up and said, “What’s wrong?”

Dina shook her head. With Su Han’s help, she came to the cabinet with difficulty. She opened the drawer with trembling hands and took out a small blue bottle from the drawer. She poured out a white pill and put it in her mouth. A moment later, her expression gradually returned to normal.

“It’s okay.” Dina rubbed her temples and smiled apologetically:

“It’s an old problem. A few years ago, when I was on a mission, my body was corroded by some bad things from the outer regions. However, it’s not a big deal. The temple has given me medicine.”

Su Han frowned slightly. He picked up the small blue bottle in Dana’s hand. He could faintly feel the faint aura of radiation in the pill. It was probably not something good.

He opened his Eye of Law and peered at the pill. Immediately, he discovered that there were abnormal wheels of law lingering in the pill.

He narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at Dina’s body.

He immediately saw that there were many insect forms crawling all over Dana’s body. At a glance, they covered her entire body.

Those insect forms were continuously absorbing power from her two wheels of law, life and soul.

The medicine that Dina had just taken could not contain these insects at all. Instead, it was more like a nutrient that contained radiation. Su Han saw that after those pills were absorbed by Dina, those insects temporarily stopped eating her life, they turned to absorb the power from those pills.

However, Su Han also noticed that the power contained in those pills was also a power that could have a huge impact on life and soul.

Although this power could temporarily stop the insects from moving, the toxicity contained in it was no less than that of those insects.

Moreover, after those insects had swallowed the medicine for a long time, they had become even more terrifying.

Su Han slowly raised his head and looked at the puzzled Dina in front of him.

“If you take this medicine again, you will die in less than a year.”

Dina’s face instantly turned pale.

Su Han stretched out his hand, and the wheel of laws of devouring appeared. Dina instantly felt a swelling pain on her arm, and she immediately saw in horror that something was rapidly surging under her skin.

Puchi.

A pitch-black worm the size of a grain of sand broke out from under the skin on her arm, and Su Han grabbed the worm.

The worm kept wriggling like a devil from hell.

Dina cried out in horror and said, “This… This is…”

There was nothing more terrifying than seeing a worm crawling out of her body with her own eyes.

Su Han said expressionlessly, “I don’t know how you were parasitized by this worm, but I can tell you that this worm is eating your life, and the medicine you took is only to temporarily curb your pain. Not only is it unable to destroy this worm, but it will instead nourish and strengthen this worm. If you continue to take this medicine, you are courting death.”

Daina’s face was pale as she said, “Impossible! The Divine Hall of the Medical Center assigned this to me. They clearly told me that I’m not in any serious condition. It’s just that my body has been affected by foreign substances. As long as… As long as I take the medicine, I can completely recover in a few years…”

Su Han looked at the worm in his hand and said, “Do you know this kind of worm?”

Hearing Su Han’s words, Dina trembled and said, “I… know…”

Su Han looked at her and asked, “What is this?”

Dina’s face was pale, and her eyes were dull as she said, “This kind of bug is… A weapon that our First Human race used to fight against the barbarians. It’s called the Demon Beetle. This kind of beetle can eat the barbarian’s barrier, and it has a very strong strategic significance for us.”

Su Han said indifferently, “Then do you know how this kind of bug was hatched?”

Dina was suddenly shocked, she muttered, “I… don’t know… Back then, our group was ordered to go to a cave in the outer region to explore for mineral deposits. Then, we were suddenly attacked by an unknown substance. When we woke up, we had already returned to the barrier and became ill.”

Su Han said indifferently, “What would you think if I told you that the pill you took not only couldn’t kill the bugs, but it was also poisonous, perfectly nourishing the bugs and speeding up your death?”

When the bugs absorbed the power of the pill, he clearly saw several relevant wheels of law.

Dina trembled and said, “Sir Su Han… You must be joking… If we follow your words, then… won’t I be a hotbed for the Demon Beetles?”

She forced out a smile and said, “I must have been accidentally infected by those bugs. I must immediately report this matter to the Divine Hall…”

She stood up and was about to leave.

Su Han said indifferently, “Then I guarantee that you will immediately be controlled by the Divine Hall until the Demon Beetles in your body hatch. But at that time…”

Dina stopped where she was, her face pale.

“This… is impossible… I’m just an ordinary person, and my talent in cultivation is so poor. Why would the shrine target me?”

Su Han said indifferently, “They may not be targeting you.”

Su Han stood up and said, “They target people like you who don’t have enough talent and have no improvement in cultivation. Even if you can grow to the upper limit in the future, you’re just cannon fodder on the battlefield. Rather than that…”

Su Han said indifferently, “Why can’t you turn you into a resource?”

Dina took a few steps back and sat on the bed. She looked at her body and the bug in Su Han’s hand, and a great disgust and fear rose in her heart.

“This is impossible…” she sobbed.

Su Han came to her side expressionlessly and reached out to hold her wrist. Dina immediately felt as if her whole body was in pain.

“Don’t move.” Su Han said indifferently, “If anything happens, I will not be responsible.”
