Chapter 204

"Actually, I have a better way; do you want to try it?"

"Let's hear it."

"I'll slaughter you, and then go defect to the Fourth True Ancestor."

Ladri raised her small hand and gestured at her own fair neck.

"With your head, I think it will be easier to gain his trust."

"Ladri, I am serious."

"Why do you think I'm not serious?"

"???"

"Haven't you reacted yet?"

Canine teeth like fangs were exposed between her lips, and the smile on Ladri's face grew colder.

"I've already found a new employer, you idiot."

Schafiliar was silent for a few seconds: "...By new employer, do you mean the Fourth True Ancestor?"

"That's right, the Fourth True Ancestor contacted me remotely yesterday."

Rising from the sofa, Ladri walked toward Schafiliar step by step.

"He said that as long as I can kill you within today, I can have a seat in his Empire of the Night."

"Originally, I didn't want to do this, but since you want to sell me out to continue executing that dangerous plan, I have no choice but to take action."

"You are no match for me."

Schafiliar's face was full of confidence: "In order to take revenge on the three True Ancestors, I have long since modified my own body."

"With your strength alone, even if I stood still, you couldn't move me."

"That's what you think."

Ladri's voice suddenly came from behind Schafiliar.

"In order to be able to deal with you, I have already taken power from the Fourth True Ancestor first."

Bang~!

Her fair little hand was raised high and slapped directly onto the back of Schafiliar's head.

Accompanied by a crisp sound, Schafiliar, who had been full of confidence a second ago, had his head sent flying by Ladri just like that.

"Geez, wouldn't it have been better to just surrender obediently?"

Raising her toe to flip over Schafiliar's corpse lying on the ground, Ladri reached out and rummaged through his bosom.

"You just had to be stubborn and go against that monster."

"Since you want to seek death, then go die alone."

Anyway, Ladri hadn't lived enough yet; it was impossible for her to go and die with him.

Pulling an iron-gray short sword from Schafiliar's bosom, Ladri picked up his head and walked toward the door.

The "letter of intent" had been obtained; it was time to find the Fourth True Ancestor.

Although she successfully obtained the "letter of intent" and arrived at the Neon mainland in the first instance, Ladri did not successfully meet Lin Que.

According to a certain Gap Witch who refused to reveal her name, the other party was currently traveling between the three Empires of the Night and various human countries.

As for the reason, he had suddenly become interested in beast-eared girls and wanted to go around to find beast-eared girls of every category to unlock the "full collection" achievement.

Although Ladri felt this reason was somewhat absurd, considering the other party was the Fourth True Ancestor, she didn't say much.

Time passed slowly, and it was a week later when Ladri successfully met Lin Que.

"Schafiliar's younger sister?"

After listening to Ladri's self-introduction, Lin Que thought for a moment, and a look of sudden realization appeared on his face.

"I remember now; Schafiliar is that guy with the abnormal brain who always wanted to open the Gate of the Otherworld, right?"

"Yes, that's right."

Ladri nodded her small head: "Your Majesty Fourth True Ancestor, you can rest assured, my brain is still quite~ normal."

"Haha~ that is naturally normal."

A smile appeared on Lin Que's face: "After all, if you were as stupid as him, you wouldn't have been able to see me."

"Thank you for your understanding."

Seeing that Lin Que was so easy to talk to, Ladri, who had originally prepared many excuses, breathed a sigh of relief.

Then, seeming to remember something, she rummaged through her bosom and pulled out an iron-gray short sword.

"Your Majesty Fourth True Ancestor, please accept this."

"A magic tool?"

"Yes."

Ladri replied: "This short sword is one of the legacies of the Heavenly Tribe; the ancient Heavenly Tribe controlled the Fourth True Ancestor through it."

The Fourth True Ancestor Ladri referred to was the Primordial Fourth True Ancestor.

The Primordial Fourth True Ancestor was an artificial vampire created through the technology of the Heavenly Tribe, so it was possible to influence its actions through a controller.

If it were replaced by a newborn Fourth True Ancestor like Lin Que, who had swallowed the Primordial Fourth True Ancestor and replaced it, it would be useless.

However...

"Although this short sword cannot influence Your Majesty Fourth True Ancestor, it can influence the Flame-Light Night Lords, who are also products of the Heavenly Tribe."

"If Your Majesty Fourth True Ancestor is interested, you can research the specific control method through this short sword and reverse-solve the defects in the Flame-Light Night Lords."

"Solve the defects? That wouldn't be so much trouble."

Lin Que casually tossed the gray short sword back: "I solved that kind of thing long ago."

His blood wasn't drunk in vain.

Now, the twelve Flame-Light Night Lords, including Aurora, had Lin Que's power mixed into both their bodies and souls.

Wanting to influence them with an outdated controller was naturally impossible.

If someone really used this thing to forcibly control a Flame-Light Night Lord, they would only be backlashed by Lin Que's power and crumble into pieces along with the magic tool.

"Your Majesty Fourth True Ancestor, this short sword actually has another function!"

Seeing that Lin Que was not interested in this, Ladri, who had originally wanted to claim credit, paused and hurriedly added.

"In fact, besides acting as a [Controller], this short sword is also the [Key] to opening the Gate of the Otherworld."

There were three requirements for opening the Gate of the Otherworld.

Itogami Island, which acted as an altar, the key used to open the Gate of the Otherworld, and magic power vast enough to open the gate.

Lin Que was already the master of Itogami Island, and his own magic power reserve was at a monster level.

Now that he had obtained this key, it was equivalent to mastering the qualifications to open the Gate of the Otherworld.

"The time to open the gate is at night."

Ladri introduced in detail: "As long as you hold this key at night, you can open the Gate of the Otherworld through Itogami Island."

"So, why make it so troublesome?"

Lin Que shook his head somewhat helplessly: "Isn't that 'Otherworld' you speak of just the space station built by the ancient Heavenly Tribe between Mars and Jupiter?"

"The distance isn't far, just a few hundred million kilometers; I've already gone up there for a stroll while traveling these past few days."

"Ah?"

Ladri's expression went blank, and she stood there stunned.

"You've been there?"

"Yeah, I've been there."

Lin Que raised his finger and casually swiped from top to bottom, pulling out a simple space portal.

"If you want to go, just dive right in."

"The gate can be maintained for about twelve hours; there's nothing good over there, so remember to come back when you've seen enough."

Ladri: "..."

Was the other party serious?

Noticing that Lin Que didn't seem to be joking, Ladri, who had originally wanted to say something, fell silent.

That was a distance of hundreds of millions of kilometers!

Opening a portal without borrowing the power of the planet's dragon veins, relying only on his own power.
