Chapter 1093: Chapter 500: The Game Character Out of Control

Mu You raised an eyebrow as he looked over the latest text, "This is far from a loosening seal; it’s clearly on the brink of collapse. Had I arrived a moment later, I fear Gusha would have already broken free."

"Guardian of the Realm, I will now help you suppress Gusha, sending it into a deep slumber. Seize the chance to extract the Holy Spear and reinforce the seal. But remember, the entire process must be completed within five minutes. If we go over time, Gusha might regain consciousness and escape," the Fairy King urgently looked at you, his eyes urging you to start pulling out the spear immediately. You choose..."

With time of the essence, Mu You had no time to hesitate and immediately began controlling his character to take action.

You approached the Seal Spear, inputting energy into the Circuit and summoned the arm of the Kylin.

Seeing the Kylin arm appear, the Fairy King finally breathed a sigh of relief and quickly held his breath to concentrate, returning to a meditative state.

Through its efforts, you noticed the serpentine skin beneath the Holy Spear gradually becoming still, until it fell completely silent. Only then did you extend the Kirin arm, grasping the handle of the Holy Spear.

You plant your feet on the earth, with the Kirin Arm unleashing a steady stream of strength. With a thunderous sound, the golden Holy Spear began to rise at an incredibly slow pace, gradually pulling free from Gusha’s flesh...

Lifting the spear was a slow process. Even with the tremendous strength of the Kirin Arm, it needed to be lifted millimeter by millimeter. He estimated that just to pull the spear out of the giant snake would take more than a minute.

During this process, Mu You could hardly do anything. However, shortly after he began pulling out the spear, Mu You suddenly realized something was amiss.

This was four thousand years ago, yet from Fuya’s perspective four thousand years later in the Bitter Garden, the situation had not improved. The anomaly existed as before, and there were even mutations that now included the local fairies within its attack range. That meant, even in the future, the issue with Gusha was likely still unresolved.

A question arose, if he managed to reinforce the seal here and now, locking away Gusha’s power completely, then how would that be explained in the future?

"Eh? Uncle, why do you have that look on your face? I know you’ve been trapped here for eight hundred years and are looking forward to breaking free, but shouldn’t you be trying to maintain calm right now?" Suddenly, Watchman’s voice came from behind.

You turned around and saw the Fairy King within the barrier, who, unbeknownst to when, had opened his eyes and was staring intently in the direction of the Seal Spear, watching the slowly rising Holy Spear with a fleeting frenzy in his eyes.

Immediately, upon hearing Watchman’s voice, the oddity in the Fairy King receded quickly, and his expression soon returned to calm...

Mu You furrowed his brow, grateful for Watchman’s timely reminder which made him notice the change in the Fairy King. There was definitely something wrong with this situation!

His first thought was whether the Fairy King was already under Gusha’s control and would seize the chance to release Gusha’s consciousness right when he extracted the Holy Spear?

With this thought, Mu You quickly had his character stop pulling out the spear.

You sensed something fishy and chose to delay pulling the spear.

Just as you were about to release the Kirin Arm, you suddenly found yourself unable to move!

You’ve been hit by the Poison of Chaos and entered a state of Chaos.

In a state of Chaos, you will lose control over your Game Character.

Your Order Deviation Value begins to rise...

"Hmm?"

Mu You was shocked, his interface turned entirely red just like when he was previously controlled by the Shadow Ghost - the panel couldn’t be opened, nor could he perform any operation.

Mu You instinctively pressed on his Pocket Watch.

Time flows backward, and you return to ten seconds ago.

You remain in a state of Chaos, your Deviation Value still rising...

"?"

Mu You was stunned. From the first alert, time had indeed reversed, but the character hadn’t reverted after the time reversal?

What was this ’Poison of Chaos’ that could even be immune to time?

What unsettled Mu You more was whenever the game indicated the increase in the character’s Deviation Value, he could feel the Deviation Value within himself rising as well...

"What’s wrong?"

Lamp God noticed the change in Mu You’s expression and couldn’t help but ask.

Mu You quickly explained briefly what had just happened to Lamp God.

"Chaos... This is bad!"

Lamp God was alarmed upon hearing and said solemnly, "This must be a trap set by the God of Chaos!"

"Oh?"

"I should have thought of this earlier. A scenario involving the God of Chaos, how could it be so simple?" Lamp God lamented while hitting his head.

"What exactly is going on?" Mu You asked.

"The God of Chaos has always seen the God of Order as a thorn in his side, always plotting to eliminate his adversary. This Poison of Chaos was clearly a trap set by the God of Chaos for the God of Order: the moment the God of Order personally attempts to seal Gusha, and the Holy Spear descends, the Poison of Chaos will trigger. Of course, just a Chaos trap would not have much effect on the God of Order in his prime. At worst, it would cause a brief confusion before he recovered."

"However, the key lies in the confusion arising during the sealing of Gusha. That slight discrepancy could very likely result in a sealing failure, allowing Gusha to escape. And Gusha, upon breaking free, would naturally regard the present God of Order as its primary target. The God of Order, although powerful, would be hard-pressed to contend with Gusha alone, and even if he could escape, he would likely suffer severe injuries from Gusha, at which point the God of Chaos would have the chance to eliminate the God of Order."
