Chapter 1140

"Mhm, it's definitely the last one!"

Seeing that Aquarius chose to retreat, the corners of Leon's mouth couldn't help but curl up slightly, and he immediately asked:

"What's going on with the Krolok Kingdom? Why are they so frantically looking for energy? Even at the cost of going to war with other countries?"

"..."

"And what's the situation with the Gemini Branch? What exactly did you and that Artificer 01 talk about? Why did you abandon the Gemini Branch and leave with Nicole after you talked? How is the Krolok Kingdom's royal family now? They..."

"Damn it! You call this one question?"

"Uh... you can understand it as me still asking the first question 'What's going on with the Krolok Kingdom,' and the small questions that follow are all part of this big question."

"..."

If you count it like that, you might as well just ask me what I've experienced in the last hundred years!

"Just one! No more!"

"Don't you hope that Nicole's life can be..."

"Do you still want your life? If you don't, I'll give you a quick end!"

Tsk... really stingy!

After complaining about the Aquarius old man in his heart, Leon could only choose the one he most wanted to know among a pile of questions.

"What exactly is going on with Artificer 01 and the Gemini Branch?"

"I'm not familiar with her either!"

Fearing that he would be entangled by Leon like a piece of taffy, the Aquarius Director not only didn't care how many questions this sentence counted as, but even directly hinted:

"It's the same kind of 'not familiar' as with the Flesh-Bearing Doe!"

Meaning... Artificer 01 is also a member of that organization? You even recruit artificial intelligence?

In Leon's surprised gaze, the Aquarius Director said at a very fast speed:

"As for the Gemini Branch, all members are now controlled and cannot disobey her orders. The entire Krolok Kingdom is hers, operating according to her will... Farewell!"

"Then what exactly is her will?"

"Aquarius?"

"Are you still there?"

"..."

It seems he really left this time...

After pressing the knife and asking twice, and hearing no more news, Leon couldn't help but tsk. He then pulled the paper cutter out of his neck, reached out and pushed the female reporter's butt, and said weakly:

"Move aside, I have to get out."

"Wait a little longer!"

Unaware of the conversation between Leon and the Aquarius Director, the female reporter who was blocking the dog's mouth said vigilantly:

"The Aquarius Director might not have left. If you come out now, what if he attacks you?"

However, your father has already attacked me, and not only did he attack me, he even chatted with me for a while...

"It's fine... I guess he should have left..."

After casually brushing her off, Leon, whose soul was as transparent as a plastic bag, used his last bit of strength to pry open the Dog God's mouth, carefully crawled out, and then sat on the ground with a thud.

This time it really was... although his soul was still complete, he was first swallowed into the dog's stomach, and then received a knife on his neck. He really suffered a lot. He felt his soul starting to drift...

"Are you alright?"

After reaching out and pulling Leon up, looking at Leon's soul, which had become drifting and as light as thin gauze, the female reporter asked with concern:

"Why don't you go back inside and hide? Your soul state isn't very good, and near the 【Gate of the Dead】, there will be wind blowing from the world of the living from time to time. Don't get blown away by the wind."

"..."

Indeed, I feel that if you weren't pulling me, I might have drifted away with a gust of wind.

After feeling his soul, which was frighteningly light, Leon couldn't help but sigh. Then, although he didn't go back into the dog's mouth, he walked half a circle around the Three-Headed Dog God's corpse and found a sheltered place to hide. Hmm... wait, what is this smell?

Just as Leon, who was exhausted to death, closed his eyes and prepared to take a good rest, a scent with an inexplicable temptation suddenly rushed into his nose... perhaps not just his nose.

After suddenly opening his eyes, Leon was surprised to find that the Three-Headed Dog God he was leaning against was releasing an indescribable, terrifying attraction to his entire soul, making one want to...

Take a fierce bite!

"Don't look. I have the same feeling, but this isn't appetite."

After noticing Leon's gaze, the female reporter quickly reminded him:

"Although your soul is complete, more than 80% of it was digested by the Dog God and integrated into its body. So your soul, because of its own weakness, is instinctively longing to take back what you lost from it."

"So that's how it is..."

Upon hearing the female reporter's words, Leon nodded in realization, then asked with some hesitation:

"Then if I eat it, can I get back the soul I'm missing?"

"What?"

Being asked by Leon's question, the female reporter's brain was stunned, and she said with shock:

"You... say that again? What do you want to do?"

"I mean, can we eat it?"

After smelling the "fragrant" Three-Headed Dog God, Leon, whose eyes were "hungry" and somewhat green, gritted his teeth and said:

"With my current soul strength, I can't control my body at all. I'll have to lie in bed for a year or two, and during that time, I'll even need someone to feed me water... I don't think this will work! We have to take back what we lost!"

"But... but it's a True God..."

Looking at the Three-Headed Dog God's huge corpse, Leon also felt some hesitation in his heart, feeling a bit disgusted by eating something that could talk.

But as soon as he thought that he might be unable to control his body because of his weak soul and lie paralyzed in bed for a year or two or even longer, Leon immediately regained his confidence.

At most, there is one more month until the Taurus Director ascends the palace. The damn Aquarius old man doesn't know what kind of trouble he's going to cause. At such an important time, how can he be paralyzed?

Besides that, the Princess hasn't succeeded to the throne yet, the situation can't be said to be 100% stable, and that mysterious organization targeting the royal family is constantly active. There's also the Flesh-Bearing Doe that suspectedly caused Senior Emma's tragic life, as well as Artificer 01 who will likely invade the Traveling Thrush Kingdom in the future...

With so many life-threatening things waiting, let him do nothing and lie in bed for a year, even needing someone to hold him to drink water, feed him, and go to the bathroom?

Screw that!

"True God, my ass!"

After completely making up his mind, Leon took a deep breath. Amidst the female reporter's somewhat terrified expression, he took out a paper cutter with a wooden handle and a silver blade and slashed fiercely at the Dog God's body.

"Don't care what kind of god it is. Since it wanted to eat me just now, I have the right to eat it now. This is what you call fair!"

Just as Leon was waving the paper cutter and starting to cut meat from the Three-Headed Dog God, a sorrowful and indignant dog bark suddenly sounded from the top of the 【Cliff of the End】 in the deepest part of the Dead Realm.

That bark, carrying a strong sense of resentment, tore through the dim sky of the Dead Realm and spread outward from the deepest part. It not only made the dead souls full of confusion on the 【Road of No Return】 look up one after another, but also attracted the attention of all the creatures in the Dead Realm.

Angxi's bark?

The creatures of the Dead Realm who heard this dog bark all showed a look of shock on their faces.

Logically speaking, as the Guarding Death Dog, the Three-Headed Dog God's range of activity should be limited to the vicinity of the 【Gate of the Dead】 and it shouldn't be able to go too deep into the Dead Realm.

But now, its bark suddenly appeared in the deepest part of the Dead Realm, coming from the top of the 【Cliff of the End】, which was the end for the dead. Then there was only one possibility...

The Guarding Death Dog had actually been killed!

Facing this upheaval that happened once in a thousand years, the entire Dead Realm woke up in that dog bark. Almost all the masters of the Dead Realm sent their envoys to investigate, and those with urgent tempers even chose to go in person.

Countless dense dead energy tore through the night sky, like boiling oil falling into boiling water, burning the dark gray sky until it boiled, covering the earth of the Dead Realm in a dark mass.

And the Death-Reporting Crows circling on the Road of No Return were so frightened by this change that they screamed repeatedly, interrupting their work of guiding the dead to sneak forward, and began to flee in panic.

In the end, even the 【Road of No Return】 that traversed the Dead Realm itself trembled with the upheaval of the Dead Realm, roaring at the stone statues standing on the side of the road with a roar that no one could understand.

"Go and see for me! I must know who did this!"
