Mage Academy: I Have Infinite Skill Points - Chapter 351
351 A Useless Chess Piece
Buddha himself did not have the ability to remove the ancient curse!
Although he was one the strongest, his power still could not compete with the power of Laws!
“Lin Ming, please save me,” Buddha pleaded with Lin Ming.
“Didn’t Great God Pan Gu say that even if he was infected, he would choose to accept death?” Lin Ming smiled and said.
“That’s Pan Gu, not me,” Buddha shook his head and said.
Some people were willing to die, while others were extremely afraid of death.
“Besides, Pan Gu had said this because he knew that he wouldn’t be infected by the ancient curse,” Buddha had nothing to hide now.
After all, he knew that Lin Ming knew a lot of things.
He was a man on the verge of death. If Lin Ming did not take action, he would be a dead man.
Therefore, it would be a joke to hide anything now.
Besides, for him to have been infected by the ancient curse, he felt that he was trapped in a conspiracy.
As such, he instead wanted to say more to Lin Ming even if Lin Ming didn’t ask him anymore.
“Well, senior Pan Gu has such abilities. Perhaps your ally also has the ability to remove the ancient curse,” Lin Ming nodded and said.
“What?!” Hearing Lin Ming’s words, Buddha could not sit still.
Did Pan Gu also have such an ability?
He and Pan Gu had been allies for so long, yet he was clueless about such a thing!
However, when Lin Ming said this, Buddha seemed to acquiesce in his words and believed in him.
Because he knew, there was nothing in it for Lin Ming to lie to him.
“Lin Ming, you don’t seem surprised that I have been infected by the ancient curse?” Buddha looked at Lin Ming and asked.
In his opinion, Lin Ming should be surprised that he had been infected by the ancient curse.
After all, he was one of the originators of the ancient curse.
But now, not only did Lin Ming not find it strange, he was even extremely calm and did not even ask anything.
“What’s so strange about this? You must have raised your doubts after you listened to my words and had doubts in your heart. Perhaps you’ve decided to back out, right?” Lin Ming looked at Buddha and said.
“You… how did you know!” At this moment, even the Light of Buddha around Buddha had turned purple.
Although his strength had weakened, it didn’t affect his agitation and the fear in his heart at all!
“I don’t even need to think about it. The fact that you have been infected by the ancient curse proves that you have lost your value,” Lin Ming sneered and said.
“Lost my value?” Upon hearing Lin Ming’s words, Buddha broke out in cold sweat!
“Did you really think that your power is the number one in all the worlds, including the void?” Lin Ming looked at Buddha and asked seriously.
“Although you are one of the strongest, there are many things that are not so simple that the strongest can have absolute control over them,” Lin Ming continued.
“For example, you can’t affect Pan Gu, but he can easily affect you,” Lin Ming smiled and continued.
“You… what exactly are you…” Buddha was currently panicking hard.
This was the first time since he became one of the strongest that he felt fear!
True fear!
Currently, Buddha’s fingers were trembling crazily!
As one of the strongest and one of the originators of the ancient curse, he had existed for a very long time!
Yet now, he was just a chess piece!
And a chess piece that was dispensable at that!
How could he not be afraid?!
Even at this moment, he had a feeling that there was life was meaningless.
“Hey, what are you thinking about?” Lin Ming patted Buddha’s shoulder and interrupted his wild thoughts.
“Lin Ming, you don’t have to help me break the ancient curse,” Buddha lowered his head, sighed, and said.
“Why’s that? Have you gotten over it?” Lin Ming smiled and said.
“It’s not that I’ve gotten over it, it’s that I can’t get over it. Right now, even if I live on, it’s just living on in degradation. There’s no meaning to it,” Buddha sighed and said.
“Right, your strength isn’t yours, right? Your true strength should only be at the advanced God-tier, right?” Lin Ming sized up Buddha and said.
“How… How did you know?” At this moment, Buddha was once again agitated.
“It’s obvious that you had used Fate to nurture yourself to become one of the strongest. On top of that, you had done this when you were at the advanced God-tier. Did I say anything wrong?” Lin Ming said calmly.
“No, nothing’s wrong,” Buddha sat down and nodded.
There was nothing he could hide from Lin Ming since Lin Ming could see through him with a single glance.
“But, how did you see through it? This…” Buddha asked again.
As one of the strongest, Buddha would give a sermon once every thousand years.
But now, in front of Lin Ming, he was like a child who had just started cultivating.
Although he had reached the strongest tier relying on the nurture of Fate, he was indeed one of the strongest!
“I’ve always said that if it’s not one’s own power, then the power simply won’t be one’s power. No matter what method it is, how brilliant the method is, or how perfect your fusion is, if it’s not yours, then it will never be yours,” Lin Ming looked at Buddha and said.
“Right now, you are being used only because of the Fate in your body. You don’t have the ability to resist because you didn’t rely on your own cultivation to become one of the strongest. Do you understand?” Lin Ming looked at Buddha and said seriously.
“But, this power is currently in my body…” For a moment, Buddha was at a loss for words.
“Abandon it,” Lin Ming interrupted him.
“I…” Being one of the strongest for so many years, if Buddha abandoned the power of Fate now, he could only become an Advanced God-tier.
By then, he would really become an ant!
He would have no ability to resist the experts at the strongest tier at all.
Even a finger of those among the strongest could destroy him!
Therefore, he still couldn’t accept Lin Ming’s words.
“Fellow friend Buddha, to be honest, I don’t usually talk so much. It’s just that I feel sorry for you, which is why I’m willing to say so much nonsense to you. This power of yours is your decision, and it has nothing to do with me,” Lin Ming waved his hand, indicating that he didn’t want to listen to Buddha’s words anymore.
“However, since you’re so pitiful, I can help you remove the ancient curse,” With that, the power of Chaos appeared.
