Nurg's voice sounded again in Ashu Rufate's mind.

As last time, Nurgre's voice was as gentle and kind as a kind father, and even more rare, there was no supernatural power in it - at least Ash Rufate didn't feel it - not as dangerous as Slaanes.

At least now, Ashu Rufate has understood that his resistance to the temptation of Slaanes has reached its end. His instinct intuition told him that next time, he will succumb to Slaanes' temptation mixed with endless indulgence and enjoyment.

"You finally called me." Nurgo's voice had a clear emotion - not anger, but a kind of gratitude, a kind of "relieving breath" that was easily noticed. "Child, you finally noticed it. Fortunately you noticed it in time."

This attitude made Ashu Rufate not know how to answer for a while. He thought for a long time and finally decided to face the great god with the attitude of a Nurgre believer. Of course, just a disguise, he never thought that he would become a Nurgre believer - just as he still felt uncomfortable when he saw those Nurgre believers with evil diseases all over his body.

"Father, have you been calling me?"

"I can only get your attention, child." Nurg replied. "I can't contact you directly...you must contact me. Otherwise, they will notice everything. If that happens, everything will become out of control."

It is naturally self-evident who "they" refer to.

"Love Father, do you have anything to tell me?" Ashu Rufat asked.

"I know your heart, child. You hate me." Although Nurg said so, there was no hostility or disgust in his words, but only the taste of sighing. "I am not particularly surprised by this. Many people...many people who do not understand the essence of life are discriminating against us. In the eyes of these ordinary people, the beauty of appearance is the most important. But believe me, compared with the tenacity of life, it is the flowers in the moon in the water. A beautiful flower will wither if you forget to water it, and the ugly thorns can live in various harsh environments. Do you think a person is suitable for being a beautiful flower or an ugly thorn? And I think that in this unfriendly world, living is the most important thing, and the most important thing to live is the tenacity of vitality."

Ashu Rufate had nothing to say for a moment. In a sense, Nurgre was right. If you don’t say anything else, just talk about that swamp (now under Ashu Rufate’s name). No one except Nurgre believers can live there. Not to mention living, it’s not even possible to stay for a little longer. In fact, it’s not just a swamp. In the entire chaos realm, Nurgre believers are the least picky in the environment, and they can live under some extremely harsh conditions. Of course, an obvious fact is that the more harsh the environment is, the more obvious the distortion of Nurgre believers is.

"It is precisely because of this... that I try to make my children more resilient. For this reason, although it will make their image difficult for ordinary people to accept, I think it is worth it. However," Nurgo changed the subject. "You are an exception."

"Me?Exception?"

"Your vitality is very tough, and it has even reached the level of perfection and boredom. Child, you probably have noticed your own specialness. That's because your blood and flesh... your flesh contains unimaginable vitality of life, so that they are equivalent to poison in the eyes of ordinary people. Because ordinary people are extremely difficult to withstand such vigorous vitality of life." Nurg said. When the word "toxic" echoed in Ash Rufate's mind, his body couldn't help but tremble. "If you let ordinary people eat them, either sublimate, then destroy!"

During this period, with the drinking of drunken blood and the broken harp that could occasionally arouse his memory, Ashu Rufate remembered some fragments of memory.

Speaking of which, the scene was simply creepy: on a bright moon night, he stood in the wilderness, surrounded by a group of pale, human-shaped, but hunched monsters. The skin of these monsters was dull and dirty, with wild and crazy eyes, and sharp teeth exposed under their curly lips. And those monsters (Ashu Rufate remembered that they were called ghouls) were walking up one by one, sucking blood from him. It was not that he was knocked down by these ghouls and was bitten and sucked, but that he took the initiative to feed his blood to these ghouls.

Accompanied by this scene, there is an indescribable madness and despair - although Ashu Rufate couldn't remember what the madness and despair originated, he must have been very desperate when he was doing this, that is, letting the ghoul suck blood, so he adopted this method of almost self-harm.

There is no doubt that this kind of scene could never belong to humans. So Ashu Rufate believed that this was an extraordinary memory brought about by the integration of some external soul fragments into the body. But after Nurg said this, Ashu Rufate couldn't help but think of this indescribable horror scene.

"Of course, I know you don't trust me, child." Nurg continued. "But anyway, I must remind you. I have seen the future...I have seen your army collapse and disintegration, and you are desperate and tenaciously resisting under the siege of countless enemies. I have seen you fall in the siege, and you see your head being cut off by the enemy, hanging from the city of the Blood Fortress in the name of terror."

Nurg said in a deep and sad tone.

"Will I lose?" Although Ashu Rufat knew that his chances of winning were not particularly high, he did not expect that he did not even have a chance to escape. At least in theory, the possibility of him running away alone was quite high. "You... can you see the future? But it is not the legend that only the Lord of Deceit..."

"Yes, I can. We can. But the Lord of Crazy is undoubtedly the best in this regard." Nurg said. "Peeling into the future is like observing a tree, starting with only one thick branch, then watching it diverge at the top, and then each diverge is split into more branches."

Ashu Rufate suddenly noticed something that although Nurgo pointed out his final failure, he did not let him give up.

"The Lord of the Deceit is very smart... The real prediction is like cutting a leaf in the whole forest. This is the most direct method, but not the simplest. There is another more reliable method, which is to choose the future you need, and then destroy all other possible futures. Reduce all variables and guide all possibilities. The Lord of the Deceit is the most proficient in this. As for me, although I can also peek into the future, I cannot do this. Although doing this can grasp the destiny and the future, I have to make a choice, in other words, make sacrifices and give up. But, giving up my children... I can't do it."

According to legend, Nurgo is a god with a fatherly personality. Perhaps it was because of the fact that Nurgo's tone and attitude had an impact, and Ashu Rufate immediately turned the topic to the right place.

"Is my future...unchangeable?" Ashu Rufate asked.

"No, kid. As I said, observing the future is like observing a tree. At first, you only see a thick branch, and then you see it diverge at the top, and then each diverge is dividing into more branches. The future I see is a branch, but if you continue to develop like this, it will inevitably develop to that position."

If Ashu Rufate was a little nervous before, he has calmed down now. If he is right, this is a very classic business negotiation - to be honest, since he has been with Ajin for a long time, Ashu Rufate has learned a lot of business skills for cheating and stealing. Ajin is a very honest businessman (of course, this is Ajin's self-proclaimed), but this does not affect Ajin's play with those linguistic traps.

When Ajin bought something, he never tried to suppress the other party. In this regard, his most common sentence was "Who dares to take such a bad thing except me?" Of course, there are also "If you don't sell it to me now, you will have to throw the garbage pile in two days". In short, try to create an atmosphere that makes the other party panic, and then buy it - of course at a low price - this trick may not be successful, but as Ajin said, anyway, it can't cost you anyway, so why not try it?

Nurg is the same. First, scare it, and then it's the turn to buy it. Well, as for whether this is a lie... Although the Lord of Deceit is the master of lies and tricks, I have never heard of any evil god with the excellent quality of "honestness".

"What should I do?" Ashu Rufate asked tentatively. He actually wanted to see what price Nurg would offer - basically, no matter what price Nurg offers, he would not agree. Unless that condition is very easy to achieve.

"Use all the power in your hands," Nurg said. "You must tap every potential of your army and never fight like this. You cannot have too many worries about the inside... That is something that only the winner, or the destined winner, is qualified to worry. I can only say so much."

"Wait..." This time, it was Ashu Rufat's turn to be surprised. Nurg didn't even offer any price, so he exposed the secret to him, and then it was over?

"I am not the Lord of Crazy." Nurgo seemed to have seen the surprise in Ash Rufate's heart. "I will not bind you with oaths, promises, etc. I will not regard my children as pawns that can be abandoned at any time."

"Then why do you tell me this?" Ashu Rufate asked. "Or tell me this specifically? What are the benefits for you?"

"For you call me Father," Nurg replied. "Maybe for you, it's just a lie, not from the truth. But for me, it's enough."

Nurgo's will disappeared. Ashrufate came to his senses and took his hand back from his forehead. Then he discovered that the slight light on the original Nurgo logo had disappeared on the ring.

He sat for a few minutes, then stood up and shouted outside: "Come."

Immediately, the guards on duty at the door walked in, waiting for the instructions of Lord Chaos.

"Call Flint and Tarik..." Ashu Rufat immediately ordered. "No, inform everyone, tell them that I am going to hold an urgent military meeting. Everyone is going to attend."

The guards took the order to leave. Ashu Rufat sat back on his seat in dejectedly and looked at his hand blankly. What's going on? That scene, the scene where the ghoul sucked blood... it should be a fragment of memory... it is a memory brought by the fragments of the soul of other lives... but those words of Nurg...

Could the mixing of souls also lead to physical mutation? What's going on? Or... he is not a human at all? But what is he who is not a human? Or is it a blessing from the gods in the Star Realm? Damn... his mind is in chaos.

If someone is present, he will definitely see a very strange scene: Chaos Ash Rufate looked down at his hands, gritting his teeth and making a fierce look at him.
