Chapter 946: Chapter 944: Conditions for Containment
The mist in the isolation chamber gradually dissipated,
The ’malice’ remaining between the wounds was completely eradicated, and the malice detection value of the entire isolation chamber also dropped to green.
The Great Emperor composed himself, slightly catching his breath, and looked at the just-finished birthing Lene with a face full of astonishment.
In terms of power, heart realm, or total vitality, the Great Emperor surpassed Lene by far, yet she possessed something he could never reach, that being this unique creation.
Earlier, when dealing with the four-star difficulty phenomenon - [Fish], due to a lack of experience in confronting evil, everyone suffered greatly at first, leading to multiple conceptual injuries.
It was precisely because of Lene’s existence that everyone’s concept integrity was preserved, and everyone changed their attitude towards her, considering her an indispensable team member.
This time, even the Great Emperor did not place much hope, knowing that Yi Chen’s injuries were more severe, yet Lene still managed to reclaim the concept in this manner.
The Great Emperor secretly made a decision that once they returned to the Pathology World, he would personally visit the [Forest of Newborns].
Lene’s birthing this time nearly exhausted her physical strength; even with the Great Emperor constantly infusing Essence Blood, her body still became extremely frail.
Seeing the newly born arm connect to William’s body, her face was still filled with smiles, allowing her to lay down her burdens, as her eyelids gradually closed.
Just as her vision was about to vanish, she saw the hanging-state William remove the rope and reach over, after which she knew nothing.
...
Conference Room.
The fully recovered Yi Chen was still adapting to this arm, which was supposed to be completely missing,
He couldn’t understand why Lene, this existence wholly at odds with him, symbolizing absolute vitality as the goat-like girl, was able to give birth to the arm of himself as a deceased individual.
Ultimately, he reached a valid conclusion.
『Pure concept... unaffected by life or death, merely ’birthing’ the concept, even forcefully making the original concept undergo biological reincarnation, reborn from within Lene.』
At this moment, Jesus’ incarnation started speaking.
"Both of you! Surely talented individuals recommended by the Golden Lung Venerable, not only managed a First Level Contact but also survived and remained intact under ’unknown’ attacks.
Now please write down the negative intelligence obtained; if confirmed as valid and able to deepen our understanding of the unknown, more rewards will be given to you."
However, Yi Chen merely stared at the blank paper in front of him, writing nothing.
Jesus’ incarnation naturally noticed this anomaly, "Mr. Yi, are you contemplating how to write the most effective negative information, or what’s going on?"
"No, I just think there’s no need to write anything."
"Why do you say that?"
Yi Chen held the pen with both hands, slowly turning his head towards Jesus’ incarnation.
"Because you already know everything, and have already met with the so-called ’unknown,’ perhaps even had more interactive actions, completely understanding what the other party looks like, their personality and abilities, possibly even knowing the fundamental carrier of evil well.
The information we provide is meaningless, merely used to assess our individual potential, and to give corresponding rewards, allowing us to better engage in handling and suppressing malice."
Jesus’ incarnation maintained the same gentle gaze, "How did Mr. Yi arrive at this conclusion?"
"Though my arm was severed, I too sent my consciousness slash into the last layer of the Faraday Cage, presumably also harming the opponent and thereby perceiving the internal situation.
Inside was a relatively cozy and spacious residence, with all necessary living supplies available.
The so-called ’unknown’ was living his desired lifestyle inside; the so-called containment facility seemed more like a stability facility, keeping the opponent’s emotions stable and willing to stay here.
Additionally, based on my observations along the way, the seemingly impregnable containment area actually contained no fewer than three vulnerabilities.
It’s impossible to fully confine such an existence, let alone no issues appearing over decades. As long as any vulnerability has problems, the opponent can easily leave and instantly kill all of you.
For the opponent to be ’safely confined’ for decades, it’s evident that he himself is willing to stay here, or perhaps you, Jesus, have reached some trade or conditions with the opponent.
Combining what was expressed by the Golden Lung Venerable before my arrival here, regarding the historical formation of the seven-layer Heaven and your obsession with ’balance,’ it’s not hard to deduce that you aim to achieve a kind of balanced state with the entire Evil Circle through friendly communication with him as a medium, even at the cost of relinquishing authority.
Just like Heaven and Hell here."
Upon completing this deduction, Yi Chen himself was somewhat surprised; he usually didn’t like such lengthy discussions, nor could he explain such fluid reasoning.
Jesus still remained smiling, not showing a single intention to hide anything, while clapping his hands and providing an affirming response.
"Impressive... it’s becoming rare to encounter someone like you visiting here; the reason for ignoring the rules and lingering more than five seconds is because you foresaw all this?"
"Foreseeing is a bit much, it’s just a bit of speculation."
Jesus’ incarnation didn’t hide anymore, "You’re right, initially we exhausted all efforts to bring the counterpart here, discovering that no matter the containment design, it’s impossible to confine the opponent long-term.
As long as he can’t be killed, he will eventually escape or even destroy the entire [Seven-layer Heaven].
Thus, I made an extremely risky decision,
Upon knowing the literary carrier corresponding to the Disaster, I spent a few days carefully reading and proactively contacted them, seizing the opportunity through face-to-face discussions.
Even such a Disaster, still ’follows’ or ’continues’ the settings between literary carriers.
The opponent is a presence with decorous manners and a strong focus on principles; although the fundamental evil is quite extreme, there’s room for communication and negotiation.
Indeed, as you mentioned,
I reached [conditions] with him, willing to let him stay here, over these years I have always tried to find the inevitable balance through communication with him."
"For someone like that to stay, the conditions surely aren’t simple, right?"
As Yi Chen posed this question, Jesus’ smile gradually faded, turning into coldness, "Compared with the extinction of the entire Material Plane, the loss of all Rules and collapse of the God Frame, certain individual sacrifices are acceptable."
"So you let those of us who meet certain standards as ’excellent visitors’ come, using rewards as bait, becoming their ’ingredients’?"
"As I said, specific sacrifices are acceptable.
Moreover, we have sufficient defense measures to a certain extent ensure the safety of the contacts.
As long as you achieve what you did, predicting the danger ahead and withdrawing, or possessing the skill to survive the highest-level contact and return, you will not die, eligible to receive superior material supply and talent cultivation.
If you still get influenced and die during indirect contact, it indicates the individual’s ’talent’ isn’t enough, even surviving wouldn’t change the grand scheme.
If there were no conditions to achieve balance, allowing the opponent to stay here, more worlds would have perished and more sacrifices would have occurred over decades."
"Is this your method of saving the world?"
"Indeed, everyone has their methods; this is the only method I can think of under apocalypse.
However, today’s contact showed me another faint possibility; Mr. Yi, you must live continually until my method fully fails, using your individual ability to drag the malice towards Death’s Deep Sea.
So,
As the ruler of the seven-layer Heaven, I will provide as much support as possible to you and the Pathology World, requesting forgiveness from all of you."
