Chapter 248

"I've been asking you all along, where did your second personality go?"

The voice coming from inside his body made Lu Yi feel as if he had fallen into an ice cellar.

He stared blankly, lifting his head and looking straight at Big Boss, wanting to glean a clue from his face.

But he saw only mockery and ridicule.

"Big Brother, what are you waiting for? Give the order already!" Divine General XX shouted: "The assassination failed, we can only clash head-on now!"

"Yeah, Big Brother, twenty thousand against ten thousand, we have the advantage in troop strength, and with you commanding! Let's go, send this idiot packing!" Divine General X also clamored.

But Lu Yi acted as if he heard nothing, standing dazed in place, his forehead covered in cold sweat.

"Big Brother!"

"Shut up!"

Two seconds later, Lu Yi let out a furious roar, stopping the two Divine Generals' urging.

Immediately after, under their puzzled gazes, he slowly knelt on the ground.

"Big Brother, you, this is you..."

Divine General XX completely couldn't understand.

Weren't things fine just now?

Didn't you just force Big Boss and the others into a desperate situation?

Even if the surprise attack failed, there's no need to just concede defeat directly, right?

What's more, kneeling directly?

When has Big Brother, such a proud person, ever knelt to an outsider? "Nu, Nu Bao Divine General, I beg you..."

Lu Yi groveled humbly: "I beg you, spare my three brothers, I'll leave myself to your disposal, ca, can you?"

"Big Brother, what are you saying? What do you mean spare me? Get up quick, let's go together, kill that bastard, snatch those two women, and become the Wrath Father God ourselves!"

"Shut up, you bastard!" Lu Yi whipped his head around and slapped Divine General XX squarely in the face.

"Big Brother..." Divine General XX covered his face, looking at him in utter terror: "What exactly happened? Big Brother, we haven't lost, we haven't lost! The advantage is ours!"

"Advantage, what advantage! Ah!" With a long sigh, Lu Yi seemed to have aged decades, his body hunched, lips trembling: "There never was any second personality, there never was any second personality at all!"

"What did you say? Big Brother, you... you said all this was planned by the second personality..."

"I was tricked, the Wrath Father God was tricked, all of us, were tricked!" Lu Yi spread his arms and let out a resentful howl to the heavens:

"All of this is a trap set by Nu Bao! What second personality, that was simply his technique, he possessed my body, controlled my thoughts, my body, and conspired with you to formulate a rebellion plan!"

"Wh-what? This, this is impossible, how could there be such a terrifying technique in this world?" Divine General X was utterly terrified.

"Yeah, and, and why did he do this?"

"I don't know if there's such a terrifying technique, but why he did this..." Lu Yi lowered his head, disheveled hair fluttering in the wind, looking incomparably wretched: "It was to clear his suspicion, to turn him from a suspect into a loyal subject."

"To make the Wrath Father God hand over military authority to him..."

"But it's already come to this, what use is military authority?" Divine General XX didn't understand: "Right now, isn't it time for a head-on clash? It just depends on whose fist is bigger..."

"How do you still not understand, there is no head-on clash, no whose fist is bigger..." Lu Yi smiled bitterly, looking at his useless brothers: "He did this just to trick the Wrath Father God into leaving here. If I'm not mistaken, the Father God is already on the way to the Imperial Capital, engaging in a decisive battle with Dian Huo."

"And us people left here, whether generals or soldiers, are all his puppets on strings, people he can kill at any time."

"You, you mean to say, the purpose of his trap was to kill the Wrath Father God?" Divine General X froze.

"Yeah, from the very beginning, it was to slaughter the Wrath..." Lu Yi looked at Big Boss, his eyes revealing deep disbelief: "Nu Bao, I'm convinced, I'm truly convinced."

"I never imagined you would... scheme against a god. Even a god is just a chess piece on your board."

"And I, and that god, were actually played like puppets on strings in the palm of your hand."

"Hehe, lamentable, truly lamentable."

"If I'm not mistaken, your goal probably isn't as simple as just the Wrath Father God, right? You want to kill Dian Huo too, don't you?"

"Heh." Big Boss let out a light laugh, but didn't speak, merely looking at him indifferently.

"What? He still wants to kill Dian Huo?" Divine General X froze.

"Yeah, if it was just to deal with the Wrath, why set up such a grand scheme? The snipe and clam fight, the fisherman profits — from start to finish, his targets were always those two."

The three Nameless God Generals heard this, their faces instantly turning pale, breathing rapid, one even standing unsteadily.

Just killing the Wrath Father God already exceeded their imagination; they didn't expect Big Boss's arrangement was actually to kill both the Wrath and Dian Huo simultaneously.

With a mortal body, slaying twin gods...

This kind of thing, only appears in legends within ancient texts, right? And Lu Yi also smiled bitterly with pity and self-mockery.

Pitiful, truly pitiful.

He had always guarded against Nu Bao, viewing him as a great enemy.

Yet he never expected that in his eyes, there had never been him at all.

What he schemed was always the Wrath and Dian Huo.

In his eyes, I am like an ant, oh no, should say, probably not even an ant counts.

And the most tragic thing is, he doesn't even have the courage to refute.

Such scheming, Lu Yi admits he absolutely could not design.

Utilizing everything usable, treating every person and thing that appears as a chess piece to be applied.

Whether it's himself, or the Wrath, or Dian Huo, even the true Mother Goddess currently in the tent.

He calculated everything.

Played everything.

Losing at the hands of such a person, he is convinced in heart and mouth.

"Nu Bao Divine General." Lu Yi knelt once more, prostrating: "I beg you, I implore you, spare our lives."

"Since we are all enemies of the Wrath Father God, all want to kill him, why not shake hands and make peace?"

"If you take control of this Wrath and the Shadowlands' Second Realm, you'll need people to govern it, won't you? We still have value, we can still work for you!"

"Big Brother, what are you doing!" Divine General X shouted: "Don't let him scare you, our soldiers outnumber his, I just don't believe that he alone can kill all these soldiers——"

Bang, bang bang, bang bang bang.

Before Divine General X could finish speaking, the sound of balloons exploding rang out.

He turned his head to look, and his pupils reflected an unforgettable, horrifying scene.

One by one, Demon Race heads exploded like balloons.

First ten, then a hundred, then a thousand……

These Demon Race members were blown to pieces in extreme agony, and then transmitted that agony to the colleagues around them.

Triggering the next round of explosions.

Just like dominoes, falling one after another.

Divine General X could speak no more, his legs went weak, and he actually fell sitting directly onto the ground.

He had fought wars for over a thousand years, yet had never seen such a Purgatory sight.

No combat, no slaughter, no howling.

He didn't even know how the enemy did it.

The horror brought by this unknown fear pushed him to the brink of despair.

He touched his own neck and head, terrified that the next second, his own head would also explode into debris.

Only at this moment did he realize just what kind of terrifying enemy he was facing.

He turned his head to look at Big Boss, but saw only a sunny, cheerful smile.

But strangely, that smiling face, in Divine General X's eyes, turned into the Death God come to claim his life, raising its scythe at him.

A stream of yellow heat flowed out from his trouser leg.

"My L-Lord, spare my life, spare my life!" Divine General X disregarded his incontinence, head-banging on the ground, begging for mercy frantically: "I'm still useful, I'm still useful!"

"Yes, Wrath Explosion Divine General, we still have value, please, give us a way to live!" Lu Yi also pleaded:

"We're willing to sign a Contract, serve as oxen and horses, serve you for all eternity!"

"Yes, yes!"

"Spare us, spare us!"

The three unnamed Divine Generals also followed suit, continuously kowtowing, begging for mercy.

Unbelievable, these four great Demon Race experts who stood above ten thousand, at this moment, were as lowly as stray dogs begging for food.

"Hehe, what you say is indeed correct."

Big Boss revealed a gentle and sunny smile: "We do indeed have a common enemy, and you do indeed still have value. Both emotionally and logically, I should accept this condition."

"Then, then, My Lord, we……"

"But I refuse."

Big Boss picked his ear, and said blandly:

"Lu Yi, I just told you, I gave you a chance, unfortunately, you didn't seize it."

"I'm the kind of person who hates others insulting my possessions the most."

As his words fell, whether it was Karenina or Regina, both their faces flushed red.

They really liked the term "my possessions".

And Mu was even more shocked frozen in place, thinking to himself: 'Holy shit, you can still act cool like this? This charming? God damn this is what showing off in front of people looks like…… gotta write this down in my little notebook.'

"No, Lord Wrath Explosion, we, we were……" Lu Yi hurriedly explained.

He really wanted to say, that was just to distract you, to make assassination convenient.

But words at this moment were so cold.

Lu Yi knew, Big Boss's killing intent was decided.

No matter how he begged, it was useless now.

Thus, he clenched his fist, violently stood up: "Hehe, Wrath Explosion! Don't think everything can go as you wish!"

Staff gripped in hand, violent Spiritual Power suddenly gathered.

In an instant he erupted with power comparable to Tenth Rank.

This did not originate from Big Boss, but was power he slowly unsealed and reclaimed after Awakening his memories.

"Big Brother!"

Two of the Three Divine Generals' eyes trembled, knowing Lu Yi was going all out, and also stood up, gripping their Weapons.

Since there was no avoiding it, they'd die with honor! But they didn't notice that Divine General XXX instead retreated half a step, shielding his brothers behind him.

"Interesting, Tenth Rank, come on, let me see your limit." Big Boss laughed lightly, narrowed his eyes, and simultaneously, re-injected into his body the pain energy continuously collected from the exploding heads.

He did not directly interrupt Lu Yi.

Because he indeed needed an enemy to test just how strong this 【Great Love】 amplified Ability/Capability really was.

This relates to the strategy for dealing with the Wrath Father God next.

"Receive your death!"

A loud roar, and Lu Yi violently swung his staff, surging Spiritual Power erupting before him, the sky instantly darkened, a Spiritual Power tornado raged across the dome, power comparable to a Forbidden Spell destroying heaven and earth.

Big Boss stood with hands behind his back, already prepared, resisting the enemy's final strike.

After all he had already saved the file, he wasn't afraid at all. Next second, Lu Yi stabbed the staff violently into the ground.

That heaven-destroying, earth-annihilating might condensed into a vortex before him,

Forming a…… at the fastest speed

Teleportation Gate?

Holy shit, this bastard's trying to run! Motherfucker!

Big Boss's mouth corner twitched, he inwardly cursed that those who play politics truly have black hearts, and his foot stomped hard as he rushed up.

And Lu Yi had already opened that door, waving his staff again, he rolled up the three Nameless God Generals and threw them inside.

"Big brother! Big brother! What are you doing!"

"No, big brother! We want to face the enemy together!"

Two Nameless God Generals roared and struggled, only Divine General XXX charged into the teleportation gate without looking back.

"Shut up, you noisy idiots." But Lu Yi didn't run as Big Boss thought, instead he stepped forward, waved his staff, released countless magic seals, slowing Big Boss's pace.

With his other hand, he lightly waved, and completely closed that teleportation gate.

Big Boss held the Sword of Terminus, in a few swings he shattered those spells, looking at Lu Yi with some surprise.

He indeed didn't expect, this Military God of the Rage Domain, pulling such an operation, actually just to send away those three idiots.

"If you had run just now, you could have lived a while longer." Big Boss said indifferently.

"Rage ah, my whole life, has been like a chess piece, manipulated by the Rage Father God, manipulated by you." Lu Yi shook his head, sighing:

"Even my wife, my children, my parents aren't real, they're all spies planted by the Rage Father God."

"I've never had a real life, my entire life is fake."

"Only those three, are the brothers I met on the battlefield."

"So, no matter how useless they are, no matter how despicable, I will save them."

"I see." Big Boss nodded, considered he understood this character's entire persona.

A pitiable person too.

If not for encountering the Rage Father God, he would have had a magnificent story.

"Rage ah, don't look at me with those eyes." Lu Yi suddenly smiled: "And don't think you've won for sure."

"On one hand, I just didn't want my magic to affect my brothers!"

"On the other hand, talking to you was also to delay time, to accumulate this forbidden spell!"

"Now, the incantation is complete, who wins who loses, is still unknown!"

"Feel the power that destroys heaven and extinguishes earth, Primordial Magic — Falling Stars!"

With a loud shout, Lu Yi violently swung out the magic array.

His face instantly aged, his hair turning from brown to white.

His cheeks covered in earthworm-like wrinkles, skin withered like an old tree that's lived who knows how many years.

He injected his entire lifespan into it, invoking this heaven-destroying earth-extinguishing forbidden spell.

A huge meteor appeared above the dome, falling toward the ground.

Wild wind pressure snapped trees, rolled up river water; miserable thunder resounded through the clouds, rising and falling.

Flying sand and walking stones, broken walls and ruins, like the end of the world.

"Damn it, this power is too strong right? This old bastard was hiding this kind of ability?" Mu Xin Shen Dou Zhen.

The Eighth Rank power Big Boss temporarily boosted him to, was completely insufficient to resist this surging spiritual power.

"Big Boss Brother!" Karenina barely supported her body, but still kept retreating under the wind pressure.

"Master." "Awoo~"

The female knight and her mount war dog, both wanted to rush before Big Boss to protect him, but couldn't advance an inch, just holding their ground without retreating already used all their strength.

Inside the tent, Princess You Fei watching this forbidden spell like a natural disaster from third perspective, her face already pale.

Such terrifying power reminded her of that Night City Battle.

Back then, it was exactly such a forbidden spell, that made Night City's original garrison vanish in an instant.

And when that forbidden spell was released, she was thirty kilometers away.

One could say she closely witnessed, just how terrifying a forbidden spell of this rank is.

Magic of this rank, fundamentally isn't something that rising Dong Xi can deal with.

At this moment, she clasped her hands, continuously praying for Big Boss: "Discipline Mother God above, shelter Big Boss to survive, must shelter him to survive!"

Just after praying a few sentences, You Fei gritted her teeth, about to rush out of the tent.

"Don't go, won't make it in time, even if you make it, you can't do anything."

The True Mother God who had been observing the battle situation, eyes slightly narrowed, pulled out a fan from somewhere, covered her cheeks, leisurely said:

"Heh, truly interesting, this one called Lu Yi, actually with a mortal body, broke through that shackle, used demigod power, first one in ten thousand years right."

"Though the price is life, still counts as remarkable, hehe."

"Mother God Adult, do you have a way?" You Fei bit her lip, expression nervous.

"Oh? Hmm~ interesting~" True Mother God raised an eyebrow, face showing gossip expression: "Worried about your lover?"

"Who, who's worried about him!" You Fei's expression instantly became awkward.

"I, I'm doing it to return to the imperial city, to reclaim my rightful position..."

"That's right, that's how it is, definitely not worried about him!"

"Definitely not!" Watching You Fei's deeply concerned look, True Mother God laughed lightly again: "Hehe, forget it, you young people's business I won't ask, hmm... but this power, indeed is power Rage can't handle."

"I'll help him block it then, let this strategist I favor owe me a favor, hehe."

Saying this, True Mother God raised her hand, looked at the light screen, intending to help Big Boss block this move across the light screen.

But the movement on her hand just made, abruptly stopped.

"What's wrong, Mother God Adult?" You Fei hurriedly asked.

"Situation's not right." True Mother God's face slightly changed.

"What?" You Fei looked at the light screen, her pupils also at this moment sharply contracted to a point.

On the screen, Li Chengzheng held the Sword of Terminus in a drawing stance, his tiger's mouth pressing against the sword hilt, his expression unchanged.

His figure stood in stark contrast to the Strong Ones around him who were being blown away by the vast Spiritual Power.

His black robes fluttered in the wind; on his face, devoid of joy or sorrow, not a trace of fear could be seen.

He simply stared at that meteor, stared at Lu Yi behind the meteor.

And this strategist who had burned his last Candle was laughing maniacally:

"Hahahaha, I made it, I made it! This is the Demigod's Domain, this is the Demigod's Domain!"

"So this is the World's truth, this is the operating law of Spiritual Power!"

"Ah, worth it, worth it! Hahaha!"

"Wrath Burst! Ahahaha! Did not expect that today I, Lu Yi, would not only witness a person who played a god in the palm of his hand! But would also personally kill this person!"

"I can die without regret!"

"Go die!"

The Wand swung out violently.

That heaven-destroying, earth-annihilating meteor smashed down toward Li Chengzheng.

Lu Yi's face revealed a smile of victory and satisfaction.

And Li Chengzheng moved as well.

The Pain Power numbering in the tens of thousands, absorbed from the Demon Race he had headshot, coiled around his body.

His aura rose continuously, rose, rose again.

That power fused as one with his saber.

He looked at the meteor, the Direct Death Magic Eye already open.

Intersecting lines appeared within the meteor.

Those were the lines to disintegrate this meteor, this meteor's Weakness.

With a low chant, on the intersections of those lines, faces grew one after another.

And the corner of Li Chengzheng's mouth also slowly curled upward; the long saber in his hand swung out violently.

The sword blade carrying infinite Pain Power slashed out a pitch-black, night-like Sword Light.

That Sword Light seemed like a single slash.

And also seemed like countless slashes.

In an instant, under the effect of 【Merciful Evil Smile】, it simultaneously slashed across every face that had been summoned.

Only a Rumble was heard.

Countless cracks emerged on the massive meteor.

Less than one second later, this meteor disintegrated like Butter cut by a hot knife.

Crumbled completely!

Piece after piece of small Stones, carrying Flames, fell from the Sky; all sounds in this world seemed to have Disappeared.

Everyone stared Stunned at those Shredded fragments, so shocked they even forgot to open their mouths and Speak.

"I... am I dreaming?"

You Fei Murmured to herself.

The next second, the Screen changed again.

Li Chengzheng's figure vanished in an instant; when he reappeared, he had already Transmigrated through the meteor's wreckage, arriving In Front of Lu Yi.

Only then did Lu Yi React — the Demigod Spell he had released at the cost of everything.

Was actually shattered by the man before him with a casual strike.

"Impossible, impossible, you can't be Wrath Burst, you can't be Wrath Burst! Who exactly are you? Who exactly are you!"

"Damn it, not that easy, not that easy!"

"Die! Die!"

He roared in terror, waving his staff again, releasing countless spells.

These spells all already Possessed Demigod-level might.

But before Li Chengzheng's unstoppable sword momentum, they were Weak like a beginner's moves.

Finally, Great Love's Angel Broke Through all the Forbidden Spells, arriving In Front of Lu Yi.

Sword Light flashed.

Utter silence.

With a Bang.

The Chair under the True Mother Goddess's flesh buttocks fell to the ground, and she also Stood Up, looking at Li Chengzheng on the Screen, Eyes Tremble...
