Saying.

Kong Nü noticed the visitors were still standing, seemed a bit rude, so with a wave he generated around Sui Bian and the others elongated banquet tables and seats sized for the big fellows.

And the tables were laden with delicacies and fine wine…

Indeed they were delicacies and fine wine, not the thick broth and rotten meat from the Nagu side.

Sui Bian, having no qualms, flicked his cloak with his left hand and sat directly opposite the brass throne.

But the Imperial Guard dared not be as casual as their fathers; especially Kangsi Tanding, helmet unfurled, stared at Kong Nü with utmost seriousness, his right hand tightly gripping the Ka Xiwu Si gun, staying on high alert.

If anything went wrong, Kangsi Tanding and his brothers would rather die than hold back, even if the opponent was also a multiverse‑ruling evil god.

"Relax, everyone."

Sensing his sons' unease, Sui Bian used Spiritual Energy to soothe Kangsi Tanding and the accompanying guards, then casually lifted the bone‑crafted wine cup, took a small sip, and replied:

"The fight can wait; I'm here to help you clean up the mess."

"Help me?" Kong Nü was startled.

Because of the mask, Sui Bian and the others couldn't see Kong Nü's exact features or expression, but the Spiritual Energy ripple clearly broadcast a signal that "it" was displeased.

Even Kong Nü's demonic realm shifted abruptly; the sky's forge fire intensified, magma spewed all around, and blood continuously streamed from the brass…

After all, Kong Nü was a Spiritual Energy entity perpetually angry, constantly craving to slash and kill.

"Help" as a word is an insult to Kong Nü! Yet after a brief silence, the demonic realm's anomaly faded, eventually returning to the state it was in when Sui Bian and his party first arrived.

It seems Kong Nü has calmed down…

Getting Kong Nü to be calm is theoretically impossible; if Jian Qi and Se Nie found out, they'd have to doubt whether they themselves are chaos.

As for Kong Nü, he hasn't noticed any change in himself, but Sui Bian can clearly sense that the "evil god" before him, responsible for war and slaughter, is gradually transforming.

During Sui Bian's first direct clash with Kong Nü, Kong Nü's plate armor was covered with twisted human faces and skin, and the helmet bore bone spikes.

Now, the armor bears only scarlet engravings, and the helmet is reduced to a crown‑like ornament, indicating Kong Nü is gradually shifting from "evil" toward "righteous."

Since chaotic evil gods are projections of intelligent beings' emotions and feelings in the material universe, Kong Nü can represent not only bloodshed and killing but also passion and courage.

Moreover, as a Spiritual Energy entity, the so‑called armor, helmet, attire, and weapons are all one with Kong Nü's essence.

Thus it appears the "special drug" the plague doctor injected into Kong Nü has taken effect.

"Explain how you intend to help."

Kong Nü shifted to a more comfortable leaning posture, propping his left elbow on the brass throne, left fist pressed to his jaw, ready to hear what the Human Emperor could offer.

"You can no longer stand alone now," Sui Bian drained his drink, set the bone cup back on the table, and continued, "Fighting Se Nie, Jian Qi, and over ninety percent of the evil gods at once— even I can't claim a sure victory."

"Ha!" Kong Nü scoffed, but said nothing in rebuttal.

Since the two "humans"...

Or after the two "gods" clashed blade against blade, sword against sword at full force, Kong Nü kept his promise; when the Human side's Other Dimension force, the Cursed Binding Legion, launched an expedition against the evil gods, Kong Nü also dispatched his Great Demons to cooperate with the legion.

At that time all the evil gods were utterly stunned; even Jian Qi abandoned thoughts of playing other universes and devoted himself to studying Kong Nü.

Primarily, the legion's expedition was understandable; the Human Empire and chaotic forces were at odds, and the two sides had to settle a life‑or‑death struggle.

But what wind is Kong Nü stirring?

"We" do have many grievances, that's true, but when it comes to the Human Empire, "we" should be on the same side! What the hell are you doing, stabbing an ally with a knife?

It's like what Italy did in the twentieth century, but Kong Nü's overall strength is not comparable to Italy's; thus the Other Dimension, which had been relatively "calm" for tens of millions of years, has once again plunged into chaotic war.

Within the Other Dimension, the "frontline" is handled by the Cursed Binding Legion and Kong Nü's six Great Demons; the "flank" and the guard duties of Kong Nü's realm are handled by the remaining two Great Demons and Kong Nü himself, the "god."

In the early war, Kong Nü's army and the legion enjoyed successive victories, but as more evil gods, especially Se Nie and Jian Qi, joined, pressure on Kong Nü's side multiplied.

As for confronting the legion?

Please, being wiped out by the legion means true death, and it would also indirectly boost the Human Emperor's power; the evil gods can only rely on "spells" for remote, concentrated bombardments…

The bombardment "yield" within the Other Dimension is of a scale unimaginable in the material universe.

Compared to it, a regular spell bombardment equals the energy released when a star over six hundred million kilometers in diameter collapses inward to form a black hole.

Mainly because Spiritual Energy effects in the Other Dimension are infinitely amplified; the material universe still adheres to physical laws, and of course the legion's Spiritual Energy has also received an "epic" boost.

Both sides trade blows.

Thus, all the evil gods can only trap the legion.

But for Kong Nü…

Since "it" is merciless, don't blame "they" for being unjust.

Even though Kong Nü is among the strongest fighters and was the supreme chaotic god for a long time, facing a siege by evil gods, especially by Jian Qi and Se Nie, is indeed overwhelming.

Jian Qi also once was the supreme chaotic deity and excels at using the spells Kong Nü despises most.

Therefore, in the Other Dimension, Kong Nü's Great Demons, facing opponents many times their size, even if they fight merrily and shout loudly, are still "unduly suffering."

Moreover, two of Kong Nü's Great Demons have already fallen, and Se Nie's Great Demons seized them first, opportunistically dividing the "bodies."

Se Nie?

No matter how dire the situation, Kong Nü still looks down on Se Nie, because those purple beings care nothing for order, honor, or selfless duty.

Indeed, Kong Nü is an evil god who values "fairness" and "responsibility" greatly.

Since the last "private talk" between Sui Bian and Kong Nü, ten years have passed; although the Other Dimension lacks the concept of time, the fact that Kong Nü's side suffered considerable losses is indisputable.

However, Sui Bian, due to the legion's expedition and the ever‑increasing numbers of Astate, finds his Spiritual Energy mass and physical stature steadily rising—seemingly a bit "unfair" to Kong Nü.

Returning to the present.

"Hehe." Seeing Kong Nü displeased, Sui Bian smiled and continued, "I intended a win‑win with you, but..."

"Stop the useless stuff! Riddles are what irritates me the most!"

Kong Nü abruptly cut off Sui Bian, then hammered the armrest hard, his eyes spewing fire… literally spewing fire.

Seeing this, Sui Bian shrugged, signaling Kong Nü to calm down, then turned his head to Kangsi Tanding and asked with Spiritual Energy, "Me? The riddler?"

"." Kangsi Tanding's eye corner twitched, remaining silent with the guards, unsure how to answer. Yet Sui Bian's expression darkened slightly, for he had discerned, via his sons' emotional waves, the answer to "Why aren't you?"

Dammit.

Sui Bian, in a very rare silent outburst, muttered a curse.

He and the Zero Three Emperor are indeed the same entity; even if they don't wish it, they will unintentionally evolve toward the Riddle Man.

Forget it.

Sui Bian, too lazy to tangle with the Riddle Man's topic, turned his gaze back to the nearby Kong Nü Dao: "At present, Na Gou and some fragments are still in a waiting state, while I am conducting experiments using fragments associated with Color Sin."

Experiment?

Kong Nü's fury subsided a bit, his eyes no longer spewed fire, seeming ready to listen attentively to what Sui Bian says next.

"If the experiment succeeds, news will emerge that the fragments under Color Sin will also defect, and then you can deliver another crushing blow, making the situation even more chaotic…"

It should be said, the more chaotic, the better; ideally pull that stinking lump into the water as well, forcing it to assist you.

!

After hearing that, the increasingly agitated Kong Nü, extremely displeased, said: "By your wording, you're making me use a trick to deal with those fragments?? No! That's the kind of thing that bird‑person likes to do, and I will never do it!!!"

"Where is that a trick? It's merely using their own method against them; employing their own way to deal with them isn't a trick," Sui Bian said solemnly.

In fact, the mid‑rank demon they previously captured had physical traits extremely similar to the demons under Color Sin.

Therefore, after being individually "cared for" by the Plague Doctor and Magnus, that mid‑rank demon's Spiritual Energy aura will no longer merely resemble, but in the eyes of other demons will be regarded as a true scoundrel of the Color Sin side.

At the same time, the Plague Doctor will employ his special brain‑washing technique; once the mid‑rank demon is brain‑washed, it will obey his orders completely.

What would happen if that one, or more similar mid‑ or high‑rank demons, were sent to attack Na Gou, Jian Qi, and the other evil deities?

And if, at this moment, Kong Nü were to seize the opportunity to speak out, confirming that Color Abuse will also carry out a "backstab", the resulting chaos would be obvious.

Because all evil gods, including Kong Nü himself, understand that Kong Nü's polished words amount to disdain for using schemes, while the harsh truth is that he's "brainless", which will directly cause Color Sin to be unable to argue.

Only Jian Qi might notice Kong Nü's abnormality, but once real weapons are drawn, who would care about Kong Nü's temperament? Moreover, the evil gods already keep each other at arm's length.

"." Hearing that, Kong Nü fell into silence, frantically pondering whether this was a deceitful trick Jian Qi liked to use.

"This is not deceit at all, old comrade, you should know that in Huaxia we have a military treatise called 'Thirty‑Six Stratagems', which includes the tactic of 'Kill with a Borrowed Knife', and don't forget, we are at war, we must purge the dissenters," Sui Bian added in time.

"Fine." Kong Nü had no further objection.

"Also," Sui Bian stood up at this moment, "I have another plan that can give you a certain advantage in this interdimensional purge war."

Another one?

Kong Nü was a bit bewildered; to be honest, it was truly too lazy to think.

If it weren't for the special drug, and since Sui Bian is the only "god" who can let it fight to its heart's content, Kong Nü would have long since been unable to contain its anger and would have gone slashing people.

Sui Bian, no longer acting as the Riddle Man, placed his right hand on the hilt of the Emperor's Sword at his waist, then retrieved the Emperor's Claw from storage and slipped it onto his left hand.

Immediately, Sui Bian's eyes emitted golden light, and his back‑styled hair flared outward; his black long hair rose gracefully due to Spiritual Energy fluctuations.

?

!

!!!

Seeing Sui Bian assume a "battle stance" for no apparent reason, Kong Nü was initially puzzled, but quickly leapt up from the red bronze throne, extremely excited, and said:

"Hahaha! Come on! Let us fight again…"

But Kong Nü's fervent words were abruptly cut off, and at the same time, its body was enveloped by a scarlet Spiritual Energy.

"What… what is this?" Kong Nü was stunned.

It sensed ultra‑powerful entities existing across multiple universes, and the "delicious" emotions they emitted, which are…

Is this the intense battle will that Astate unleashes in combat? How could that be?

"Don't lose focus!"

Boom—!!!!

The sword and axe clashed, unleashing a tremendously powerful Spiritual Shock, while the Demon Realm simultaneously spewed magma pillars; the nearby blood pool boiled and churned, and farther away the Jingguan formed from countless corpses twisted wildly.

It turned out that as Kong Nü was stunned, Sui Bian instantly drew the blazing sword blade from its scabbard and deliberately controlled its speed and force to slash at Kong Nü.

Reacting, Kong Nü quickly raised a sharp axe to block.

"Old comrade, I've already given you a wave of amplification; shouldn't you show—something—?!!"

Saying that, Sui Bian, at a speed no OriginalBody could perceive, thrust the Emperor's Claw into Kong Nü's abdomen.

"Clang!!!"

The piercing metallic screech caused Constantine and the squad of elite guards, who had been hiding at a distance, great pain.

Blocking the five‑finger claw with his sword and continually stepping back, Kong Nü, after successfully withstanding Sui Bian's another attack, asked in confusion: "You, releasing those children's nature?"

"Nature? Don't describe my sons so crudely; they are not only warriors, they can also be teachers who educate, and even painters, singers!!"

"Clang!!"

"Clang!!"

Blades continued to clash, and Sui Bian, who had originally only wanted to test, now attacked as if for real.

After all, hearing Kong Nü say his sons' "nature" is bellicose made Sui Bian extremely angry.

As for Kong Nü's earlier question, it was actually Sui Bian using his paternal link with Astate and the others to temporarily lift the emotional and mental shield supplied by pure Spiritual Energy.

He likely removed only a tiny portion, merely transmitting the concepts of "war", "kill", and "death" to the interdimensional space, and additionally designating Kong Nü as the "recipient".

Moreover, these three emotions were not just a fleeting thought of the Astates; they were battle will accumulated over centuries, even hundreds of years, directly conveyed to Kong Nü.

Most importantly, the number of Astates has already approached ten million…
