Chapter 1901: The Instigator
But since Lin Qiye dared to go, he had his preparations ready.
As the spiritual power within Lin Qiye's body fully recovered, a purple glow flickered deep in his eyes, and the blade of Ame-no-Murakumo began to vibrate at high speed in the void!
【King's Authority】!
As spiritual power poured frantically into the sword, Ame-no-Murakumo shimmered like stars, transforming into a phantom that merged with Lin Qiye's body. A terrifying aura erupted from within him!
After merging with Ame-no-Murakumo, Lin Qiye gained its characteristic of 【cutting through all things】. Merely standing there, he was like a sword that could cleave the world, the surrounding space warping around his presence.
Lin Qiye raised his palm and slashed through the void ahead. The space around him parted like cloth cut by a knife, an instant fissure splitting open.
Lin Qiye's form flashed and he dove straight in.
When he appeared again, he had crossed an immense distance. Saturn, which had seemed so close just moments ago, was now left behind, reduced to the size of a soccer ball.
Lin Qiye didn't stop. He raised his hand once more, slicing through space, and vanished into the void...
After several more attempts, his figure had reached the edge of the solar system. The last trace of spiritual power was wrung out of him, and Ame-no-Murakumo was forcibly ejected from his body, falling back into his hand.
With the ability to cut through all things, Lin Qiye could directly cleave space itself and traverse the void to reach impossibly distant places. It was this method that allowed him to move from Earth to the vicinity of Saturn in a short time.
Of course, crossing such vast distances in one go placed enormous strain on Lin Qiye. Each time, it completely drained his spiritual power, and he could only use 【King's Authority】 again once his spiritual power had slowly recovered to full.
At this rate, it would take him a considerable amount of time to truly reach the depths of the universe... and that wasn't even accounting for the return journey. This also assumed that "Miracle" didn't fail.
In the vast cosmos, if "Miracle" failed, he would have no chance to turn around and search again. If he did that, the time required would be measured in centuries at minimum. So his only choice was to pick a direction and press forward relentlessly, until he found the answer he sought.
From the very beginning, this might have been a journey without a destination... No one knew what awaited him in the depths of the universe—answer or eternal solitude.
But he had no choice but to move forward. This was the only clue pointing outside the chessboard.
After depleting his spiritual power, Lin Qiye's complexion was somewhat pallid. He sat back down on the body of Ame-no-Murakumo and began meditating to recover.
His consciousness descended into the Asylum of the Gods within his mind.
...
Asylum of the Gods.
Before the empty hospital ward, Lin Qiye, dressed in a white coat, stood alone.
After 【Chaos】 was discharged, the hospital had become completely desolate. Except for the four wards filled with maddened universes, no one else remained.
Before his departure, Lin Qiye had already instructed the Seraph分身 to summon all the nurses back to the real world, Li Yifei included. Possessing both Miracle and Darkness Laws, and only half a step from the Supreme Realm, he now had enough divine power to summon all the nurses and still remain free to act.
Lin Qiye didn't know how long his true body would drift through the cosmos, and with all patients discharged, keeping the nurses idling in the hospital was a waste. They might as well contribute to Great Xia's battlefield.
Lin Qiye looked before him, where a spinning wheel panel still hovered in the void.
After 【Chaos】's treatment progress reached 100%, he had earned one chance to抽取 [extract] one of Its abilities. This was also the only ability he could extract from Him—the last patient in the hospital... To be honest, Lin Qiye was quite curious about Cthulhu Faction deity abilities.
The panel before him was entirely black, emanating an eerie glow, with crimson text distributed across different regions of the wheel, the number of sections truly numerous.
"This guy's number of abilities exceeds Nyx and Merlin combined..." Lin Qiye muttered, gazing at the dizzying wheel.
"【Avatar: Black Pharaoh】, 【Avatar: Lord of Aberration】, 【Avatar: Black Bull】, 【Avatar: Black Demon】, 【Avatar: Bloated Woman】, 【Avatar: Black Lion】... 【Instigator】, 【Eye of Blindness】, 【Evil Fanaticism】..."
Lin Qiye briefly scanned through these abilities. Most were various bizarre avatars, along with some unique abilities belonging to 【Chaos】. Their names sounded equally sinister.
What if he ended up抽到 [drawing] an avatar ability? Would he become a Cthulhu Faction creature?
Lin Qiye thought to himself.
After a moment, he shook his head and spoke calmly:
"Begin extraction."
Whatever the outcome—even if he became a Cthulhu Faction creature... he'd抽了 [draw] first and deal with it later. He could simply not use it if necessary.
As Lin Qiye's words fell, the black wheel spun rapidly. The needle swept across the densely packed abilities and slowly stopped at a certain region.
Lin Qiye narrowed his eyes and looked closely.
"
Instigator:
As an evil creature born from chaos and disorder, you possess the ability to alter the cognition of any creature to a certain degree.
Through language, actions, and other means to deceive the target, you can subtly change the target's cognition and thoughts, causing them to act and think according to your will.
The degree of change in the target's cognition and thoughts is determined by the difference in power between you and the target, as well as the method of instigation. The weaker the target and the more one-sided the instigation, the lower the difficulty of change.
"
Seeing this ability, Lin Qiye's expression was somewhat complicated.
From this ability's description, it seemed he had抽到 [drawn] 【Chaos】's signature ability... After all, it was rumored that 【Chaos】 took pleasure in instigating others, provoking conflicts and wars.
Of course, this ability was of limited use in actual combat. When a real fight broke out, no one would be successfully instigated by a few words and immediately lay down their arms in surrender. Moreover, the description stated that it required "subtle influence"—one or two instances of instigation wouldn't necessarily be effective, unless the power gap between both parties was extreme.
Recalling carefully, it seemed he himself had also been successfully "instigated" by 【Chaos】 without realizing it... The idea to lead people to annihilate Olympus had been sparked by 【Chaos】's instigation. Later, after discovering he'd been deceived by Fate Monk and returning to give him a beating—that too had originated from 【Chaos】's instigation.
Of course, this didn't exclude the influence of his own emotions. 【Chaos】 had simply gone along with the natural course of events, adding fuel to the fire.
As Lin Qiye raised his palm, the beam of light bearing 【Instigator】 automatically flew into his body, becoming part of him.

As the story nears its end, Sanjiu needs more time to reorganize the final outline. Today's update is only two chapters~(??w??)?
