Chapter 459: 237: Avant-garde Art_4
But at least in the eyes of Bazatous’s followers, such an artist who passionately loves avant-garde art should be their "Heavenly Father."
"Very imaginative."
At Bazatous’s invitation, Ethan sat face to face with Him, with Lindong, still in its vapor state, leaning on his left side, and a green-haired girl on his right, ready to fend off the sudden appearance of tentacles at any moment.
Compared to the intense war atmosphere of the Courage Trial, this second trial felt more like a tea party, making him almost forget the original content of the trial.
Moments after sitting down, Ethan recalled Flor’s description of Bazatous’s trial.
This was a trial of evolution, where candidates participating in the trial could only gain Bazatous’s recognition by evolving their bodies and souls. He plainly stated that among the three trials, the trial of evolution was the most dangerous one—they would be thrown into a world full of monstrous flesh creatures, possibly encountering powerful Old God creations like the Giant Divine Soldier. This world followed the law of the jungle, and only those who could adapt to the primal slaughter could survive in this terrifying world.
Flor had offered his own solutions.
They had to hunt down vicious creations and then consume their flesh and blood.
But now, Ethan couldn’t see what was so terrifying.
Bazatous even prepared an entertaining show.
Only to see a red-haired woman give a look to the Nine-headed Worm under the blood-colored waterfall, and this meticulously selected creation displayed its talent to Ethan. One of its heads somehow caught a meatball and vigorously tossed it into the air, using its nine different heads to rhythmically bounce the meatball in midair like a seal at an aquarium.
It was not difficult to see that it was performing with great effort, doing its utmost to please him as the audience.
"Great!"
Ethan applauded enthusiastically for the Nine-headed Worm’s performance, and the red-haired woman with seven eyes showed a smile, rewarding this creation through her actions.
With a snap of fingers, another two heads emerged from the red water.
The size of the Nine-headed Worm also swelled, successfully evolving to eleven heads.
——Are you satisfied?
Ethan heard excitement and anticipation in the murmurs.
It seemed that Old Ba had always been waiting for someone who could discuss art with Him.
His attitude towards the world seemed subtly different from Kaisaros and Sincaro, without deep resentment, seemingly uninterested in revenge, only wanting to promote His artistic aesthetics among humanity.
Ethan now had enough reason to suspect that Old Ba was so concerned about Saint Mary because the Bloody Priestess version of Mary was an excellent inheritor of Old Ba’s art.
But clearly, apart from extreme fanatic followers, the general populace found it hard to accept Bazatous’s style of art.
"I am quite satisfied, but you should know why we are here. Let’s first discuss the content of the trial."
Even though he knew the examiner, Ethan did not advocate favoritism.
He had also made ample preparations to meet Old Ba.
——No need for a trial, that applies only to humans.
——You have already reached the most perfect state.
The red-haired woman shook her head.
As early as a few months ago, Ethan had already defeated the Giant Divine Soldier. There were no more creatures in this plane that could further aid Ethan’s evolution.
She felt regret over this.
"Then let’s talk about your art."
The seven eyes of the red-haired woman simultaneously shone with brilliance; this was undoubtedly what she most wanted to hear.
Ethan proactively proposed a trial plan, "If I can come up with a way to promote Bazatous-style art, would that count as passing the trial?"
