177: Chapter 177 Chains of Order

Yeros had been watching Lin Sheng's every move.

Seeing Lin Sheng standing there motionless, Yeros's heart tightened.

She took a step forward and asked,

"Do you have no way either?"

"Yeah, it's a bit tricky."

Lin Sheng nodded. He hadn't really wanted to go through the trouble of dealing with things here anyway, so he said casually,

"With my current strength, it's too much of a strain to open this space without the help of external items."

"Is that so?"

A trace of loneliness flashed across Yeros's face.

She lowered her head, her thoughts unknown.

Seeing Yeros remain silent, Lin Sheng was already planning to leave.

However, in the next moment, Yeros seemed to have made some kind of decision.

With a flip of her palm, a small section of a chain appeared in her hand.

This chain had only five links, each as thick as a finger.

The ends of the chain were not complete but appeared broken.

Lin Sheng estimated that this chain must have been severed in the middle.

But even with the chain severed, Lin Sheng couldn't help but be startled when he felt the terrifying suppression brought by the Order upon it.

He had a feeling that if the chain were complete, it would be more than enough to suppress his current self.

Lin Sheng had only been talking, but he hadn't expected Yeros to actually be able to produce such a treasure.

"Will this work?"

While Lin Sheng was dazed, Yeros had already held the chain out in front of him.

Looking at the chain flowing with the brilliance of Order, Lin Sheng reached out and took it.

He tried to activate this section of the chain.

However, this wasn't Lin Sheng's item after all; when his power acted upon the chain, the effect was negligible.

"This isn't mine; I can't use it normally."

After several fruitless attempts, Lin Sheng spoke.

Yeros's eyes instantly dimmed; even though they were covered by a black cloth, Lin Sheng could guess the change in her expression.

But just as Yeros was about to take back the chain, Lin Sheng changed his tone and continued,

"However, I have a way to transform it into my own."

Hearing this, Yeros perked up again.

She looked up at Lin Sheng, who was also looking at her at that moment.

"But there is a condition."

Before Lin Sheng could state the condition, Yeros hurriedly said,

"I'll agree to any condition."

"Good."

"Then this item belongs to me from now on."

A smile inadvertently appeared at the corner of Lin Sheng's mouth, but Yeros didn't care about it at all.

Although the chain was precious, in her heart, resolving the pollution was more important than its value.

Lin Sheng waved his hand at Yeros.

"Turn around first, and block your perception while you're at it."

Although there was a ninety-nine percent chance that Yeros knew Lin Sheng's identity, it hadn't been brought into the open, and Lin Sheng didn't want to bring it to light either.

It was enough for them to have a tacit understanding.

Hearing Lin Sheng's command-like words, Yeros hesitated for a moment before turning around as he said.

Lin Sheng also turned his back to Yeros at this time; he lifted his shirt, revealing his belly.

Subsequently, he forcefully pressed the chain into his stomach.

Lin Sheng's current body couldn't parasitize this section of the chain, but he could use his body as a medium to draw in the flesh of his original body, which was currently undergoing Evolution, to parasitize it.

A mixed aura of "nobility," "evil," "holiness," and "madness" descended upon the place. Since Lin Sheng had instructed Yeros to block her perception, she did not feel this chaotic aura.

After a few breaths, the chain wriggled and "crawled" out of Lin Sheng's stomach.

At this moment, the chain seemed to have gained its own consciousness; from time to time, several randomly wriggling Tentacles and flashes of gray or purple light would emerge from it, only to be quickly suppressed by a golden light.

Sometimes the golden light couldn't suppress the Tentacles, and at those times, a surge of the power of "Order" would emerge to suppress them. However, most of the time, before the power of "Order" could even touch the Tentacles, it would be swallowed up by a black light.

That wasn't even the most interesting part; for a few moments, Lin Sheng even saw a cluster of milky-white light that looked like a "traitor."

This light would sometimes help the black light swallow "Order" and sometimes help "Order" resist the black light.

This scene left Lin Sheng somewhat entranced.

He sank his mind into the chain and breathed a sigh of relief after realizing he could completely control it.

Although the level of "Order" was very high, after the chain was parasitized by Lin Sheng, "Order" became obedient to him.

As for the other powers, they were originally Lin Sheng's, and he had absolute control over them.

"All right."

"You can turn back now."

Lin Sheng patted Yeros on the shoulder; since she had blocked her perception, this was all he could do.

As soon as Yeros turned around and saw the chain in Lin Sheng's hand, she subconsciously took a step back.

Is this still the same chain as before?

Yeros couldn't help but ask herself.

Lin Sheng ignored the slightly dazed Yeros; once she turned around, he focused his attention on the space in front of him.

Lin Sheng activated the chain, and multicolored light radiated from it, condensing into a single beam that bored into the space in the blink of an eye.

As the light flowed, the degree of the space's concealment dropped significantly.

At this point, even if Yeros didn't focus her attention, she could discover the abnormality within this space.

Lin Sheng pressed on, sending out several more streaks of colored light.

After the last streak of colored light landed...

"Gurgle, gurgle."

The sound of rolling boiling water emanated from in front of Lin Sheng.

Then, countless water element pollutants gushed out from the space before Lin Sheng.

This scene was even more intense than a ten-million-level mob grinder in a certain game.

Lin Sheng was about to act when he suddenly remembered what Yeros had said earlier—that she would handle the rest.

So, he withdrew his hand and stood quietly to the side.

The moment the space was opened, Yeros had already released her divinity, enveloping the water element pollutants to prevent them from escaping elsewhere.

Yeros aimed her palm at the pollutants, and a faint brilliance radiated from it, instantly covering all of them.

Although the pollution was only at the demigod level, Yeros still very carefully cleansed the pollution from these water element pollutants.

Under Yeros's purification, the originally turbid bodies of the water element pollutants became clear again, and clumps of flesh carrying pollution were expelled by them.

Lin Sheng noticed that at some point, the black cloth covering Yeros's eyes had been soaked by moisture.

"What's wrong?"

"He... is crying."

Yeros's voice, carrying a hint of trembling, reached Lin Sheng's ears.
