Because of Flora's unique experiences, Tang Qi thought it highly likely that she would bring a surprise to him.
Now, this premonition has been fulfilled.
"Compared to other Alien Objects, this one can extract the Divine Power within Flora, sustaining its own 'Little People Country', which has higher research value."
"Indeed, there are countless unfathomable things within the Mysterious, each bizarre and inconceivable."
Tang Qi stared at the "Little People Country" without taking immediate action.
In his eyes, a ghost light flickered.
[Curios: Creator's Toy (pseudo).]
[State: Chaos.]
[Information Fragment One: This Curios was created by a Demigod Level strong being from an Exotic Realm, imitating the widely spread 'Creation Template' in the Mysterious, but essentially it is far inferior; all life within it, including humans, cannot reproduce and lacks High-level intelligence.]
[Information Fragment Two: The biological life within the country will follow some stereotypical routines for activities, but meticulous observation will reveal that their total number always remains unchanged, with no real progress or changes occurring.]
[Information Fragment Three: The country possesses a certain level of intelligence, travels, extracts energy, purifies energy, and maintains the normal operation of the country.]
[Information Fragment Four: Since it has extracted the Fallen Divinity from Flora and is unable to purify it effectively, the Curios is undergoing unknown changes, part of its operating routines demonstrating chaotic phenomena.]
"Hmm?"
The discovery of a special phenomenon deepened Tang Qi's curiosity.
His subsequent observations confirmed the accuracy of the information fragments.
The tiny beings and beasts within the small country, which should have been following routines, displayed changes familiar to Tang Qi.
They became mad, attacking and devouring each other.
Their bodies also gradually distorted, sprouting irregular tentacles, meat tumors, or other organs.
And the god they worshipped, supposed to be the country's creator, a big-headed alien,
now in the statues erected in each primitive tribe, shockingly appeared as a bloated, rotting woman with three eyes.
"This toy clearly has self-purification capabilities, yet it still can't purify the Pollution within Flora's Divine Power?"
"These small beings have all been influenced by the Fallen Divinity."
As thoughts emerged while observing, Tang Qi promptly took action.
A surgical knife made of flames, bit by bit, penetrated the flesh in front of Flora's chest, then dug out a large chunk of flesh along with an oval glass ball.
"The Divine essence extracted by this toy is extremely weak; this chunk of flesh should suffice to keep it operational for decades, as long as the little life forms inside it don't die out."
"These tiny beings, their survival is supported by Flora's Divinity; to some extent, they are consuming the essence of Flora's flesh... perhaps also because of this, they are showing two distinctly noticeable changes."
"Their wills become mad, their bodies show irregular rapid growth of flesh."
Tang Qi chewed over the ideas emerging in his mind, yet his hands never stopped.
His next target was Flora's right arm.
There, a sharp, enormous tooth had pierced right through its bloated arm.
"A tooth of a Devouring Beast?"
A hint of surprise appeared on Tang Qi's face.
The emergence of this tooth implied that Flora had once encountered a Devouring Beast and battled with it.
But it was unclear whether it was the one Tang Qi had killed.
Tang Qi's gaze intensified, detailed Information Fragments emerged.
"Devouring Beast has not yet evolved into a 'Dark Dominator,' and Flora is in a weakened state, so they should be considered evenly matched."
"The clash of two divine powers, Devouring is 'devouring' everything, whereas Flora is more like controlling flesh, there's no specific term yet to describe this type of divinity."
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
Tang Qi, who was conducting research, suddenly saw the body in front of him looking like it was going to expand again.
Without hesitation, the Truth Thorns appeared again in his hand, and he viciously whipped it down.
Snap!
After the familiar sound, Flora once again silently wailed, then fell into a deeper coma.
"A gap in divine power? Rafael is far from recovering to his peak state, yet a single thorn he gifted me can so severely suppress Flora... Both being above the 'All Spirits,' the gap in strength between a Weak God and a 'Dominator-level God' is even greater than I imagined."
With that thought, Tang Qi shook his head.
Speaking of "Weak God", he is the weakest.
Silently encouraging himself, Tang Qi expressionlessly bent down to continue his dissection experiment.
Only, what he was dissecting wasn't a pitiful frog, or a little white mouse.
But an actual 'All Spirits', a chaotic, evil deity.
Even for a 'Demigod Level' polymath or Wizard, such a task would be exceedingly difficult, not only resisting pollution but also stripping flesh from the true form of a deity, keeping the deity continuously incapacitated.
Each checkpoint requires a long time to overcome.
But Tang Qi was different; his combination of Special Ability, Dream Spell, and Truth Thorns meant that a deity like Flora, under his Surgical Knife, was no different than a little white mouse.
For some long, tedious time thereafter, Tang Qi was completely immersed.
As time passed, on that laboratory table.
The originally bloated Flora began to involuntarily slim down.
Various persistent Alien Objects were stripped away by Tang Qi.
The Curios Secret Recorder continuously, without pause, recorded new findings and inspirations thought by Tang Qi, creating symbols and codes only he could decode, written on the paper:
"All Alien Objects 'Parasiting' on Flora's body, whether Extraordinary Creatures or bizarre Curios, are polluted by Flora's fallen divinity, exhibiting varying degrees of mutation."
"Most Alien Objects cannot exempt from pollution."
"However, a few alien objects not only exempt but can also suppress Flora to a certain extent."
...
"Snap!"
On the laboratory table, another piece of flesh fell off.
Its overall texture resembled gelatin, encasing an egg-sized creature inside, with a fierce, horrific body covered in a multitude of dark red patterns; a soul-shaking polluted aura oozed out from those patterns.
As this "Withered Blood Mite" was dissected away, Tang Qi almost uncontrollably shifted his gaze rapidly to the refreshed Flora.
At this time, not a single Alien Object remained on her true form.
Which means, Tang Qi would no longer be interrupted, he could closely, without any reservations, peer into the 'True Form' of a deity, and this Goddess had no power to resist.
Boom!
At first glance, Tang Qi stood frozen on the spot, an unprecedented ghost light exploded in his eyes.
He seemed to see an unbelievable world, the long-coveted 'secret' slowly unveiled at this moment.
