Chapter 243: The One Who Devours Gods

Inside the tent, Lu Yi's conversation with the nameless Three Divine Generals continued.

"Remember this: Father God's Majesty has shown us grace as heavy as a mountain; without him, there would be no Lu Yi today." Lu Yi took a deep breath:

"I have been defeated now, I have lost, but even so, I will not betray His Majesty."

"But Big Brother, the current situation is..."

"Enough!" Lu Yi drew his waist sword and chopped off the table corner with one strike: "Rebellion must not be mentioned again, otherwise, do not blame me for being impolite!"

"Big Brother, sigh!"

The nameless Three Divine Generals looked at each other, each seeing the other's helplessness.

But they had no choice.

You must know, although their status in the military was very high, this status and prestige were both given by Lu Yi.

If Big Brother Lu Yi did not rebel, what use would just the three of them be? It seems this tide has finally turned to them.

Several thousand years of smooth days had come to an end.

Sighing, the nameless Three Divine Generals saluted and left the tent.

After they three left, Prime Minister Lu Yi's hand holding the long sword was still trembling.

To be fair, encountering such a setback, how could he be willing?

Half a life of war and battle, only to end up with a result of being ordered to die.

Pitiful, lamentable.

But Lu Yi was after all Lu Yi; even at this critical moment, he had not lost his rationality.

"A bunch of good-for-nothings, truly foolish to the extreme, provoking a smart person like Nu Bao, since they have already set a trap for me, how could they possibly give me a chance to escape?"

Big Boss: "Ah..."

He had the Tear Drop Magic Worm crawling on Lu Yi's body, truly unable to figure out what trap he had actually set for him.

What he said was indeed that he wanted to kill Lu Yi.

But he had not made a move yet...

"Rebel? Where would I rebel to?" Lu Yi laughed self-mockingly: "If I stop here, I can still return to the Abyss, and hundreds of years later still be a hero; if His Majesty remembers the kindness, maybe there is still a chance for me to return to the mountain."

"But if I rebel, then everything is gone."

"Is that true?"

"Of course it's true; besides, I—wait, who is it!" Lu Yi had just said two sentences when he jumped up in fright.

He looked around with his soul not yet settled, opening his perception to the maximum, but discovered no abnormality at all.

This was the trait of the Tear Drop Magic Worm; as transcendent creatures of the Evil God World, they could not be detected by perception magic.

Back then in Father God's Furious Treasure Vault, Big Boss suffered a small loss because of this.

Now turning it to his own use, it became a very useful trait.

At this moment, Lu Yi held a sword in one hand and a staff in the other, scanning the tent as if facing a great enemy.

Sweat slid down his forehead little by little, and his steps also slowly wriggled toward the tent's exit.

Such a powerful concealed aura ability proved the enemy's strength was far above his own.

As a smart person, Lu Yi dared not act rashly.

"Stop looking, Lu Yi, can't you feel it? There is no one else here." Big Boss controlled the Tear Drop Magic Worm, whispering in his ear.

"Where are you hiding? Come out!" Lu Yi gathered spiritual power.

"Hehe, I am inside your body; you want me to come out, do you want to die yourself?" Big Boss chuckled lightly.

"Inside my body? What nonsense are you talking?"

"Hehe, don't you understand yet? Lu Yi, I am you, you are me." Big Boss continued whispering: "I am your desire, I am your longing, I am the real you."

"Hehe, truly inferior words; you wouldn't really think that with such words you could bewitch me, right?" Lu Yi snorted coldly: "Since you are unwilling to come out, then I will have to go find His Majesty; I want to see who is hiding inside this tent."

After speaking, he made a gesture to leave this place.

But his body remained in a tense state, and the magic gathered on his staff did not slacken in the slightest.

"Lu Yi, stop pretending; your temptation is useless to me, I will not use this opportunity to ambush you." Big Boss saw through what this Prime Minister Military Strategist wanted to do, continuing to tempt:

"I said it, I am you, you are me, how could I hurt myself?"

"..." Lu Yi did not speak, only thinking where the enemy was hiding.

He simply did not believe that a second personality existed inside his body.

Compared to such words, he believed more that something was charming his thoughts.

"Hehe, Lu Yi, why are you unwilling to believe your own intuition?" Big Boss said softly: "You are a top-tier strong one approaching Tenth Rank; within this camp, besides Father God and Mother God, who can shield your perception?"

"If such a big shot really exists, why would he come to approach you?"

"Lu Yi, do you really think you are still like before, a favorite by Furious Father God's side?"

"With endless use value?"

"Shut up." Lu Yi gritted his teeth, trying his best to throw these thoughts out of his head.

But his heart inevitably became chaotic.

This was the problem with smart people.

If it were an idiot like Mu, hearing Big Boss's words, he would only have the heaven-defying thought that "I am really awesome, so many people approaching me."

But Lu Yi was different; he would weigh the pros and cons.

Thus, he wavered.

Yes, he had now lost Father God's trust and was a dying man; what value was there worth a big shot tempting him? "Hehe, Lu Yi, you know very well what I am saying, right? After all, I am you, you are me."

"Shut up!"

Lu Yi roared violently, and the sweat beads on his forehead were even more numerous than just now.

Even his underclothes were soaked through.

He let out two long breaths and cast a calming spell on his own head.

His restless heart quieted down, and only then did Lu Yi breathe a sigh of relief.

Damn it, this bewitching thing was truly terrible; without realizing it, he had fallen into its trap.

"Hehe, it's not you who fell into my trap." As if guessing what he was thinking, Big Boss said in a low voice: "But you almost accepted your true self."

Damn it, how did this bastard know what I was thinking? Lu Yi said nothing, sweating profusely.

Because you are a rational person, all your thinking follows interests and gains, and your mind is easy to guess... Big Boss smiled: "Because I am you, and you are me, that's all."

"I say again, shut your mouth." Lu Yi gritted his teeth, and another series of soul-refining spells were cast upon himself.

But this time, he did not feel the body's tranquility.

Instead, a surge of heat and fear was rushing forth from his lower abdomen.

"Lu Yi, relax, don't you feel it? You are embracing your true self, and correspondingly, the seal that shackles you is also being undone." Big Boss said while controlling the Dragon-Phoenix Twins within Lu Yi's body.

These were planted in Lu Yi when he previously impersonated the wrathful Father God.

Not only him, but his three Nameless God Generals brothers also had them planted in their bodies.

It was also thanks to the wrathful Father God's generous help; otherwise, Big Boss really couldn't have silently stuffed the Dragon-Phoenix Twins in.

By injecting Bu Qi Zhi Ren, Lu Yi's power also began to climb steadily, from Ninth Rank Stage 7, advancing toward the Tenth Stage.

"No, impossible, why is my power..."

This time, Lu Yi was truly shocked.

His Dragon's Strength had stayed at Ninth Rank Stage 7 for nearly a thousand years already.

During this long time, he cultivated extremely hard, yet made not an inch of progress.

And now, this long-dust-covered seal was undone.

"Lu Yi, have you ever thought about why your power cannot improve?" Big Boss whispered temptingly.

While tempting him, he activated the Great Love Little Angel Divine Chosen skill.

【Effect 2: You can draw out the target's negative emotions within their body and convert them into pain.】

He drew out bit by bit Lu Yi's resentment toward the wrathful Father God and his unwillingness toward his own situation, then amplified these negative emotions bit by bit by 5 times, 10 times, 20 times, 50 times...

"Shut up, shut up." Lu Yi's eyes were already bloodshot, and there was an indescribable pain within his body.

"Is it really that you lack talent? You were a youth prodigy, before Ninth Rank everything went smoothly, but why after reaching this stage, you cannot advance even a step?"

"That's because talent has high and low; I can reach today, I am already very satisfied!"

"Is that so? But have you ever thought, perhaps someone is restricting the development of your power?"

"You shut up, damn it, you shut up for me! It is Father God, it is Father God who gave me Spirit Medicine, bestowed secret teachings, that I could reach today; I do not allow you to speak ill of him!" Lu Yi's eyes were bloodshot, and he waved the Long Sword in his hand wildly.

"Is that so? But, I just now did not say that the person restricting your development is the wrathful Father God, oh." Big Boss laughed lightly.

"Ugh..." Lu Yi was stunned on the spot.

"Hehe, look, we have a very good consensus, isn't that right?" Big Boss continued to tempt him: "Don't you find it strange? Why does the wrathful Father God want to kill you? Is it really just because you abused power?"

"But, wasn't this power to act arbitrarily given by him?"

"You have used it for several thousand years; why does he want to take it back now?"

"You, you shut up..." Lu Yi's voice grew smaller and smaller, and the indescribable pain grew heavier and heavier.

Just like a knife cutting the heart.

"Hehe, Lu Yi, you should feel it, right? Actually, your power could have advanced long ago." Big Boss whispered: "The Spiritual Power you have accumulated can not only let you reach Tenth Rank, but even let you reach the position of Demigod."

"No, impossible..."

"Facts speak louder than words, isn't that right?"

"I..." Lu Yi's fingers trembled.

Feeling his power constantly rising within his own body, plus those constantly strengthening negative emotions toward the wrathful Father God.

Lu Yi only felt himself within the Abyss of contradiction, difficult to escape.

This increase in power was real and solid.

Just as if he had cultivated it himself.

"Lu Yi, it's time to face Reality; you are a smart person, you should have already deduced the result, right?" Big Boss whispered like a Demon, constantly tempting this loyal military strategist to fall into the Abyss.

"I..."

"Tell me, tell me what your answer is?"

"I don't know, I don't know..."

"Hehe, then I'll change the question; before you, where did all the confidants of the wrathful Father God go?" Big Boss smiled gently:

"They also fought half their lives for the wrathful Father God; they, where are they now?"

"I, I don't know, I don't know, Father God said, said they died in battle, Returned to Abyss..." Lu Yi's voice was intermittent.

"But have you ever seen them with your own eyes?" Big Boss continued to tempt: "Even a Tenth Rank Demon Race, Reviving from the Abyss only takes a thousand years; you have been by Father God's side for so long, among his old subordinates, have you seen even one?"

"I, I, I haven't..."

The Long Sword slipped from his hand; Lu Yi gripped his Magic Staff with both hands, using it like a cane, propped against the ground.

His body staggered.

Big Boss's words woke Lu Yi up; he indeed had not seen those seniors who followed the wrathful Father God.

No, not just not seen them. He didn't even have any memories related to these people.

His own, he was promoted all the way by the wrathful Father God, and became the Prime Minister of Zhi Fu Ling.

But who the previous Prime Minister was, he did not know.

This thought had just appeared, Lu Yi felt his whole body turn cold; that indescribable pain became more vigorous, almost tearing his head in two.

Wait, you really don't know? A string of screens, fragments flashing back and forth in Lu Yi's mind.

Bottle after bottle of demon potions, scream after scream of agony...

Those fragments, he didn't know when they happened.

"Then, what is the truth you saw?"

"I..." Lu Yi was tortured by heartache until he could barely think, both eyes bloodshot: "Father God's Crown... His Majesty is using us to refine medicine..."

"He, he ate all the demon race who had value but couldn't be controlled..."

"I, I am the same, my strength could have been raised long ago, but he wouldn't let me raise it, he wanted to eat this portion of spiritual power."

Lu Yi painfully slumped onto the chair, clutching his hair, soul lost: "That's right, it's exactly like this, he actually wanted to eat me long ago, but, but he lacked a suitable strategist by his side."

"That's right, so I've been able to survive until now."

"And now, Nu Bao came, he's young, his potential is outstanding, he's a tool that can be used for a long time."

"So, so I have no value anymore."

"So, I should die."

"Becoming Father God's spirit medicine is my best destination."

Li Cheng: "..."

No, brothers, this idea of yours is quite bold.

How come I feel you're so good at making things up?

Before you made up that I framed you, now you're making up that Nu Bao wants to take you to refine medicine.

This imagination of ours, isn't it a bit too rich? Li Cheng shook his head, but didn't intend to interrupt him.

After all, the more Lu Yi thinks, the easier it is to bewitch him to rebel.

The other side.

Inside the Commander's tent.

Nu Bao Father God stood inside the Storm King Palace Bedroom, looking at Li Er lying on the bed, bound by Turtle Shell Binding, falling into contemplation.

After sensing that True Mother God's command had made a mistake.

Nu Bao Father God rushed back without stopping.

Bringing along, he also bound Li Er back.

Of course, to not let Li Er detect his true identity, Nu Bao Father God also thoughtfully knocked him unconscious.

Before I taste you, you rest well.

With a mocking smile, and licking his lips again, Nu Bao Father God came to the window side, pulled the curtains closed.

His coffee-colored, even slightly red pupils, glowed with light in the darkness.

Borrowing this light, he looked into the mirror.

Only to see inside the eye whites, things like earthworms wriggling.

"Damn it, how come it's this fast this time? It shouldn't be." Nu Bao Father God frowned.

After a sigh, he waved his hand, and summoned a Teleportation Gate.

"Hm? Nu Bao, aren't you supposed to be dealing with Dian Huo? What wind blew you here?"

Inside the gate, is a manor with birds singing and flowers fragrant.

White-robed young girls, are playing and frolicking in the garden, a kindly-faced old man sits by the flower clusters basking in the Sun, several middle-aged people are preparing the midday meal.

On the spotless tablecloth, piled full of dazzling delicacies and fine wines.

Everything, under the warm sunlight's shine, appears peaceful and leisurely.

And in the center of such a harmonious scene, a Lady wearing a black-robed green-patterned Long Robe, holds a spray pot, fertilizing and watering the flowers and grasses.

Her face is hidden behind the Face Veil, features cannot be seen clearly.

But faintly can be seen, this Lady's eyes are closed.

"Nu Bao Father God, you so neglect your duties, aren't you afraid Great Will will blame you?" The Lady slightly turned her head.

"Alright, Plague Mother God, here there's only us two, no need to probe." Nu Bao Father God shrugged: "That supreme existence, how could it possibly care about such trivial matters?"

"Hehe, Father God's Crown, you mustn't speak carelessly oh, now, the other five, all believe your plan to attack Full Moon Academy is Great Will's formulation." Plague Mother God let out silver-bell-like laughter, handed over the spray pot.

"Hahaha." Nu Bao Father God approached her, laughed heartily, took the spray pot: "You say, if they knew this plan and tasks were issued by you, what expressions would they show?"

"Who knows." Plague Mother God lifted her hair: "Hm, then Father God's Crown, the Full Moon Queen you promised to give me, when exactly will you send her over?"

"According to the original plan, I should have already gotten her by now, right?"

"Rest assured, everything is within the plan, wait until I refine Dian Huo, then burn the Academy with one fire, bring your medicine guide to see you." Nu Bao Father God watered the flowers, revealing a victory-in-hand smile.

"Alright alright, this slave believes you once." Plague Mother God laughed and fell back, several youths rushed up, using bodies as cushions, for her to lean on.

"Right, about True Mother God, do you have any clues?" Nu Bao Father God changed the subject: "Why would she appear in my Camp?"

"This slave doesn't know." Plague Mother God laughed and put her hand on a young girl's face, gently stroking.

"But, she said she received Great Will's task, to come help me."

"That's impossible, Nu Bao. No life can contact Great Will."

Plague Mother God laughed and lightly exerted force with her hand, that young girl's body began to melt.

Two seconds later, transformed into a bottle of Spirit Medicine, suspended in Half Air.

If Li Cheng were here, he would recognize at One Eye, this Spirit Medicine is identical to the 【Gather Demon Spirit Medicine】 Nu Bao Father God gave him, which is that Spirit Medicine that let Lilith directly rise five levels.

Plague Mother God grasped that Spirit Medicine in hand, opened the bottle cap, drank it in one gulp: "Hm, not bad taste, hehe, right, Nu Bao, this matter you did very well."

"That True Mother God bastard, repeatedly provoked me, constrained by her favored one's identity, I've had No Way to make a move on her."

"This time, you helped me vent anger. Hm, I think our Ally relationship is getting more and more solid."

The enraged Father God stared at the Plague Mother Goddess, falling into deep thought.

Though the True Mother Goddess was indeed favored by the Abyss Will, as early as ten thousand years ago, the Abyss Will had already stopped responding to them gods.

Of course, only the Plague Mother Goddess and the Enraged Father God knew this matter.

Over these ten thousand years, the Abyss's commands were basically issued by the Plague Mother Goddess impersonating the Great Will.

But now, the True Mother Goddess said she was assigned by the Great Will...

This was not a good omen.

"Alright, then my Enraged Majesty, what did you come to find me for today? Surely not just to claim credit?" The Plague Mother Goddess smiled while shaking the spirit medicine in her hand, her eyes tightly closed, looking pleased.

"My body is collapsing again." The Enraged Father God shook his head and stated his intention.

"Collapsing? Impossible." The Plague Mother Goddess frowned: "It's only been a thousand years since you last took the medicine, right?"

"I don't know, but it indeed happened."

"Hmm... have you been injured recently, or encountered anything special?" The Plague Mother Goddess asked again.

"Injured, something special..." The Enraged Father God pondered, immediately thinking of his Reversal Dragon Whip.

Could it be that the Dragon Clan bloodline is incompatible with me?

But he immediately ruled out that option.

Impossible, absolutely impossible.

I, the Enraged Father God, would rather die than allow anyone to sever my long whip again.

"No, nothing happened."

He hurriedly shook his head.

"Fine." The Plague Mother Goddess helplessly shrugged, then snapped her fingers.

Row after row of coffins appeared in the sky.

"Hehe, how is it, meeting your old subordinates again, aren't you deeply moved?"

"Hmm, I am quite moved. They were all excellent subordinates, loyal and outstanding. I miss the time spent with them." The Enraged Father God smiled, a happy expression appearing on his face.

"Then, how about the feeling of making them into spirit medicine and swallowing them?" The Plague Mother Goddess also smiled.

"That would naturally be even happier." The Enraged Father God clenched his fist: "A king has the duty to do his best to satisfy his subordinates' needs."

"And subordinates naturally have the duty to spare no cost, to satisfy the king's desires, even if crushed to pieces."

"Don't you agree?"

"Plague Mother Goddess."

"Hehe, you're still the same as ever. I really like you more and more." The Plague Mother Goddess covered her mouth, letting out a laugh like silver bells:

"Watching you devour the Enraged Mother Goddess and take her divinity and godhood back then was indeed correct."

"Aldrich, the Devourer of Shen Shen."

"Give me more experimental subjects. I guarantee that the wild Enraged divinity will one day become your power."

As he spoke, the coffins opened, and a middle-aged man with tightly closed eyes began to struggle painfully and howl.

If Lu Yi were here, perhaps the dust-covered memories could break through the terrifying shackles.

He would remember that this middle-aged Demon Race person before him was no one else, but the former Enraged Father God's military strategist.

The middle-aged man howled miserably, turning into a bottle of spirit medicine.

But this bottle was filled with even richer Spiritual Power than the one the Plague Mother Goddess had drunk before.

The Enraged Father God took the spirit medicine and drank it in one gulp. The earthworms constantly writhing in his eyes disappeared.

He exhaled deeply: "Ah, don't worry, I will bring the Full Moon Queen to you as soon as possible."

Immediately, he raised his head, looked at the rows of coffins, and revealed a pleased smile.

Nu Bao, ah Nu Bao, the strategies you offered me were truly not bad.

In the past, my gaze was too short-sighted.

What's the point of just devouring these high-level Demon Race members?

My target should be the remaining five gods.

Suffering, Deception, Lust... not one of you can escape.

Right? PS: Please vote for monthly tickets~PS2: Regarding the foreshadowing of Enraged, it was actually done long ago. Readers who have been pursuing reading should have discovered it.

1. All demigods appearing are female, except Enraged.

2. Enraged said he was different from other demigods, obtaining his godhood through his own effort.

3. The other demigods have all more or less displayed divine power of the same name, such as Suffering, Lust, Deception... Only Enraged, named Enraged, but his power has nothing to do with anger.
