Chapter 1099: Chapter 502 Come Let’s Be Slothful Together

"Ah? The main body moved!" the Watchman exclaimed in surprise, looking back.

At this moment, Mu You, whose lower half body had already been swallowed by insects, suddenly raised his right hand, holding the Pen of Order, and pointed it toward the Fairy King, starting to slowly move the tip of the pen.

As Mu You moved, the distant Fairy King first became stunned, then suddenly clasped his head and fell to the ground, crying out in pain, clearly enduring great agony.

"Your Majesty!"

From a distance, Tina, who was hiding behind the Watchman, noticed the change in the Fairy King, quickly flew over, and hovered outside the barrier, anxiously watching the suffering fairy within.

The entire repair process continued for several minutes before finally stopping.

As Mu You stopped waving the pen, the Fairy King, bathed in sweat, knelt on the ground, supporting his body with his hands to prevent himself from collapsing.

"I actually... have been controlled by Gusha for so long..."

After recovering his senses, the Fairy King incredulously looked at his own hands, then gazed upward at the snake’s eyes in the sky, full of horror.

Reflecting on everything that happened and realizing the cause and effect, the Fairy King couldn’t help but give a bitter smile. He had always thought that he had a good control of Gusha and took pride in his steadfast will, yet he had unknowingly been infiltrated to such a degree by Gusha’s will...

"Are you awake now? If you are, hurry up and suppress these demonic creatures!" the Medicinal Plant Gatherer’s cold voice came.

At this moment, the swarm of snakes in the surrounding space continued to emerge nonstop. Even though they were very weak, and the gatherers could kill a bunch with a mere flick, the relentless numbers were overwhelming.

To protect Mu You and Gege Wu in the back, the three avatars now found themselves so pressed that they couldn’t free up their hands for anything else.

Seeing the urgency of the situation, the Fairy King quickly closed his eyes again, concentrating carefully and adjusting his emotions.

This is the terror of Gusha, it doesn’t control someone overtly but amplifies the desires in the controlled person’s heart, breaking through their mental defenses bit by bit without their notice.

Like the Fairy King, although at first he thought his heart had been fortified enough not to be bewitched by anything, long-term imprisonment in The Darkest Place had made desires like loneliness, despair, and longing for the outside world grow uncontrollably.

He had to admit, without knowing when it began, his heart had started to yearn to leave and return to normal life.

Gusha had taken advantage of this change in his mindset, gradually amplifying his desires and taking the opportunity to root its consciousness deep into his thoughts.

Of course, Gusha dared not overdo it; too forceful an influence and the Fairy King, as the Guardian, would immediately sense the manipulation and actively reject the foreign will.

Even though Gusha occupied part of his will, it could only slightly shield some of his thoughts. For example, just now, when Gusha blatantly summoned countless snakes to attack the intruders, if it had been before, he would have immediately sensed something amiss and started to proactively block Gusha’s actions.

But just now when the Fairy King saw the snakes all over the ground, he failed to realize anything amiss—as if it was perfectly natural for Gusha to summon these creatures, completely outside of his control as the Guardian.

Luckily, he had now become aware in time; otherwise, if his will had been eroded any deeper, the consequences would have been unimaginable.

The Fairy King closed his eyes to concentrate, trying to calm his emotions.

However, it wasn’t long before he opened his eyes again, sweating profusely.

"What’s going on? The number of snakes hasn’t decreased at all, and they’re even increasing..." The three people watching said doubtfully as they gawked at the denser swarm on the ground. This guy had his eyes closed just for show for so long and hadn’t managed to suppress Gusha at all.

"I can’t do it; Gusha’s will continues to invade my thoughts. Whenever I think of calming down, the fearful thoughts disrupt me..." the Fairy King said with a wry smile.

"What should we do?" the Watchman asked.

"My consciousness has already been severely eroded by Gusha; I’m completely powerless to resist it... We need someone else now!"

"Someone else?"

"Yes, we need a younger soul to replace me..." As he spoke, the Fairy King unconsciously looked toward Tina, hovering next to the barrier. He paused, then suddenly said excitedly, "Wait, do you have Royal Family blood?"

"Ah... Tina is just a branch of the Royal Family..." Tina was taken aback and instinctively answered.

"That’s enough!" the Fairy King exclaimed joyfully. "It’s great that we have a fairy with Royal Family blood here. Only a fairy of the Royal Family can establish a spiritual connection with Gusha. Your bloodline may be diluted, but you’re enough to establish the connection."

"Ah... but, Tina..." Tina instinctively raised her head to look at the pair of snake eyes in the sky. Just a glance filled her with extreme shock, causing her body to tremble, and a deep, unspeakable fear exploded within her: "No, Tina can’t do it... I can’t handle this kind of thing..."

"What are you talking about? Helping the Guardian seal Gusha is the mission of the Royal Fairies for generations! I have stood guard here for eight hundred years, more than fulfilling my duty. It’s time for me to be free!" the Fairy King said excitedly, his eyes gradually flickering with an unrecognizable fervor.
