Chapter 1518: Ritual? Execution! (Part 2)
"You!"
Perhaps stung by the playfulness and mockery in Hearing Li Ang's eyes, the terror in the third criminal's eyes instantly transformed into a towering rage!
"Don't go too far! I am a True God, not..."
"Bang!"
"Charge: True God."
After unscrewing the empty gas canister and replacing it with a new one, Hearing Li Ang pressed the muzzle directly against the fourth True God's head and reached out to pull the rag from his mouth.
However, the fourth True God seemed to have figured out Hearing Li Ang's intentions. Knowing that he would be shot in the head the moment he finished his "last words," he actually bit down hard on the rag, refusing to let it be pulled out.
"Bang!"
"Charge: Refusal to speak last words... You're next!"
Although it sounded like a long process, from the moment the first True God was shot to Hearing Li Ang pressing the barrel against the fifth True God's head, less than ten seconds had passed in total.
And under Hearing Li Ang's high efficiency of executing one True God every three seconds on average, the "Nothingness Narrative," which discovered that the "restraint" had suddenly decreased by nearly one-tenth, finally confirmed its guess...
The True Gods it had the White Snake summon down had all been caught by the Food God! They were being executed one by one on the stage!
Stop! Stop it right now!!!
After figuring out what Hearing Li Ang was planning to do, the Nothingness Narrative, eyes splitting with rage, let out a shriek and then exerted all its strength to activate 【Bedtime Story】, attempting to stop Hearing Li Ang's outrageous behavior of shooting the gods.
Although Truth itself was irresistible, it could only correct those who attempted to violate "Truth." While Bedtime Story could forcibly suppress a target, it could not prevent behavior that fit a "persona."
And Hearing Li Ang's act of cruelly killing opponents using absurd reasons perfectly matched his own persona as an Evil Prince, jumping perfectly out of the regulatory scope of Bedtime Story; he was not restricted at all.
Thank you, you really are a good god.
Looking up at the crow avatar screaming in the sky, Hearing Li Ang nodded at those desperate eyes filled with shock and anger to express his goodwill and approval, then reached out and plucked the rag from the fifth True God's mouth.
"What about you? What do you have to say?"
"I... I'm different from them! I'm human! I really am human!"
Hm?
Hearing Li Ang raised an eyebrow at these words, reached out to touch its forehead, and then pulled the trigger with a calm expression.
"Regrettably, you are not."
After flicking the filth off the muzzle, Hearing Li Ang tore the rag from the sixth True God's mouth and pressed the muzzle against it.
"Don't! Don't shoot!"
Looking at the five True Gods executed before him, the sixth True God couldn't help but tremble:
"I... I surrender! I am willing to..."
"Bang!"
"Charge: Surrender."
"You... damn it! Do you think you've won?"
Understanding from the fate of the previous six unlucky ones that Hearing Li Ang would never let him go, the seventh True God stiffened his neck and cursed as soon as the rag was removed:
"You will die one day! And when that time comes, not just you, but your family! Your wife! Your descendants! Everyone you know! They will all suffer because of your stupidity..."
"Bang." After blowing the seventh True God's head apart and marking his soul, Hearing Li Ang looked at the other thirty-two True Gods tied to the wooden stakes, frowned, and said:
"Asking one by one is too much trouble... How about this, your charges are all the same: insulting me in your dreams last night, so you must all be sentenced to death!"
"?!!!"
Watching Hearing Li Ang take out a handful of brass nails and start loading "bullets" one by one, the remaining thirty-two True Gods began to twist frantically, looking up and howling at the crow circling above.
Quickly undo that damn story of yours! Hurry! If you don't undo it, we're finished!
However, they didn't actually need to urge it. Upon discovering that Hearing Li Ang's behavior fit the "persona" of Bedtime Story and could not be stopped, the Nothingness Narrative had already begun to forcibly interrupt the effect of 【Bedtime Story】, risking backlash.
But all of this ultimately required time. It wasn't until Hearing Li Ang had executed the eighteenth True God and turned the muzzle toward the nineteenth that the restraint brought by 【Bedtime Story】 finally ceased.
But just as the nineteenth True God was overjoyed and broke free from the ropes to counterattack... or rather, to escape, he seemed to fall into a dye vat, his entire body covered in a large patch of colorful, strange runes.
Immediately after, a tone filled with malicious content emerged from all around, and a large number of strange patterns surfaced from under his skin, instantly draining the little strength the nineteenth True God had managed to recover. The entire god collapsed to the ground, shivering uncontrollably as if he had touched an electric fence.
"Curses from the Curse Society, potions from the Witch Society, wicked secret words from the Rune Society, poisonous totem patterns from the Totem Society..."
Hearing Li Ang poked the colorful parts of the nineteenth True God's body with the muzzle, explained one by one what traps he had fallen into, then shoved the muzzle into his mouth, which was full of green foam, and explained with a smile:
"The curses were carved on the stakes, the potions were put in your breakfast, and the secret words and patterns were in the lining of your prison clothes and the ropes binding you... You should know that the Witch Kingdom is never short of people who understand various secret arts.
And since you have all fallen into my hands, as the Vice President of the Yarn Ball Society, it is only natural for me to call over hundreds of subordinates and, under the guidance of the Great Witch King, do a little work on you overnight, don't you agree?"
"You... you are despicable! I... I refuse to accept this!"
"Bang!"
Whether you accept it or not, it doesn't matter!
Under the Nothingness Narrative's eyes splitting with rage, Hearing Li Ang shot the nineteenth True God, then stood to the side of the wooden stakes and, relying on the sniper rifle's overpowered penetration, shot and killed six of the remaining True Gods in one go.
And after Hearing Li Ang changed his execution method, the efficiency of this execution was improved to an unprecedented degree. With just three gunshots, the True Gods, who had broken free from the suppression of 【Bedtime Story】 and were slowly recovering their strength, all perished under the blessing of the debuffs covering their bodies.
Not even the souls that escaped after their physical deaths could get away; they were blocked on the execution stage by the Cat Princess and the mediums from the Medium Society, scurrying around like headless flies within the range limited by the secret scripts.
"Madman! You madman!"
Watching the True Gods, who were blocked by a group of weak mediums due to the suppression of the Watchtower Palace and could not escape, being tied in a row like dogs by Hearing Li Ang, who held a long rope, the crow in the sky couldn't help but let out a miserable shriek, then shouted in despair:
"You cannot do this! Many of them are True Gods who cannot die! If you really eat them, the present world will be affected! You..."
"Mm-hmm, I know."
After tying the rope stringing the True Gods to his wrist to prevent them from escaping, Hearing Li Ang replied without changing his expression:
"Aren't they all still here? I'll wait until I go back to check before deciding which one to eat... As for you, what are you going to do?"
As Hearing Li Ang spoke, he flicked the rope at the crow above his head. The long string of wailing True God souls immediately fluttered like kites, emitting bursts of desperate screams that made one's scalp tingle.
"If I'm not mistaken, two-thirds of the True Gods of your King-Slaying Society are probably here, right?"
After waving the "Human Emperor Banner" in his hand vigorously, inciting a series of wails and curses, Hearing Li Ang, whose style became increasingly unrestrained, smiled and issued an invitation to the Nothingness Narrative, facing those bird eyes filled with monstrous hatred:
"So what do you say? Do you want to come down and save them?"
