Chapter 1519

~8 min read 1,500 words

Do you want to save them... So besides these True Gods, have you set your sights on me too?

Watching the Food God below, who was holding a long string of True God souls but neither made a move nor left, just looking up at them, Wuyou Zhishu, circling in the sky, couldn't help but clench their teeth, their gaze toward Hearing Li Ang becoming increasingly fierce.

However, even though they hated not being able to pounce down immediately and tear the damn Food God into ten thousand pieces, when they saw the look of anticipation on Hearing Li Ang's face, Wuyou Zhishu only felt a slight chill on their back, and the anger that had filled their mind was frozen into ice shards in the blink of an eye.

It's this look!

Before, when they heard that thirty-something True Gods would descend, he had looked at them with this disgusting look, then cheerfully gave them a thumbs-up, saying that the King-Slaughtering Society would surely flourish under their leadership.

As for the final result...

Looking at the string of True Gods Hearing Li Ang was dragging, Wuyou Zhishu in the sky couldn't help but be silent for a while, then turned and left without a word!

Can't save them! Wait for death!

Although as a Pillar God, they were a cut above the ordinary Zodiac Director, the premise was that the location absolutely could not be chosen in the present world. Under the forced suppression of the Watchtower, the strength they could exert was not much stronger than an ordinary True God, and they were absolutely no match for the Zodiac Director.

And the people from the Pisces Branch were not far outside the Secret Law City; it was only because they had no way to deal with 【Bedtime Story】 that they had to withdraw voluntarily. Now that 【Bedtime Story】 had been lifted by them, if the Food God notified the Pisces Branch...

"Don't worry, the Director of the Pisces Branch won't come."

Seeming to guess what Wuyou Zhishu was wary of, Hearing Li Ang below directly said in a loud, comforting voice:

"She was injured by someone and is not in a good state right now. It's estimated she still needs to recuperate for a while, so you still have a good chance to save them."

Bah! Even a fool knows that's impossible!

"Then how about this."

Watching Wuyou Zhishu, who was flying straight toward the high sky no matter how they shouted, refusing to look back even in death, Hearing Li Ang thought for a moment and promised:

"If you are willing to come down and spar with me, I can promise to let one-third of these True Gods go... How about it? Are you interested this time?"

"?!!!"

Faced with Hearing Li Ang's outrageous proposal, the pitch-black crow flying halfway froze, then stopped its wings and said suspiciously:

"Are you serious?"

"Of course I'm serious."

Looking up at Wuyou Zhishu, who had stopped fleeing above, Hearing Li Ang explained sincerely:

"The truth you hold is simply too dangerous, even bypassing the protection of the Watchtower. While I am confident I can resist it, others may not be. So if letting go of a few True Gods can gain me a chance to deal with you, I think it's quite worth it."

"..."

If he could really let go of a portion of the True Gods... then maybe it's worth taking a risk?

Watching the Food God, who didn't even bother to pretend anymore and frankly stated that they wanted to kill them, Wuyou Zhishu was silent for a moment, then said with a dark face:

"But how can I be sure you will let them go?"

"That is indeed a problem..."

After frowning and pondering for a moment, Hearing Li Ang seemed to have suddenly thought of something, and his eyes lit up.

"Wait a moment!"

Under Wuyou Zhishu's suspicious gaze, Hearing Li Ang rummaged through the long string of True Gods he was holding, picked the nineteenth True God off the rope, then pinched the neck of the terrified nineteenth True God and shouted at the pitch-black crow circling above:

"It just so happens that the God of Contracts and Promises is right here! As long as you agree to come down, we can sign a contract through them immediately!"

"..."

Sign my ass! Do you think I'm a fool?

"No!" Watching the God of Contracts and Promises, who was being held in Hearing Li Ang's hand like a dead dog, their soul trembling like chaff, Wuyou Zhishu couldn't help but grit their teeth, then shouted to bargain:

"They have already been caught by you, and their physical body has been destroyed, leaving only their soul. Even if you actively step into their authority now, they may not be able to restrain you!

If you really want me to come down, it must be guaranteed by the Black Cat who inherited the position of the Great Witch King, and she must swear to the Heart of the Great Court! Also, letting go of one-third is not enough!"

After looking at the long string of True Gods in Hearing Li Ang's hand, Wuyou Zhishu said coldly:

"Food God! I can give you a chance to catch me, but in exchange, you must let go of two-thirds of the True Gods! And it must be the moment I come down, you must release their souls directly!"

"Two-thirds is too many, at most half, don't even talk about more."

"No, it must be two-thirds, not one of the twenty-six True Gods can be missing!"

"Then get lost!"

Hearing Li Ang sneered at these words, then used the Archer Secret Art: Hearing Li Ang Limited Edition to strengthen the 【Silver Dagger of Judgment】, temporarily polluting it into a three-headed black dog, and drove the three heads of the black dog to bite the heads of three True Gods respectively.

"Crack!"

Accompanied by the sound of sharp teeth cutting through souls and the miserable screams of the three True Gods, the souls strung on the long rope instantly decreased by three, and only thirty-six of the thirty-nine captured True Gods remained.

"You?!!!"

"My conditions remain unchanged, it's still half when you come down."

After picking through the crowd of screaming True Gods and selecting three heads that were unlikely to affect the operation of the present world, and ordering the three-headed black dog to bite them respectively, Hearing Li Ang said calmly:

"However, every time you refuse me, there will be three fewer True Gods on this rope. Now it's half of thirty-six True Gods, in a while it might be half of thirty-three True Gods, and then it might be half of thirty True Gods."

"You... you madman! There's no such way to set conditions! You at least..."

"Wrong answer."

"Wait! Don't!"

Amidst Wuyou Zhishu's shocked and angry shouts, the three-headed black dog transformed from the Silver Dagger of Judgment bit down again, and the souls of the three True Gods instantly broke into two, disappearing into the dog's mouth with screams.

"Now it's half of thirty-three, so do you want to continue refusing my proposal, or do you want to..."

"Damn it! I agree! I agree! You... stop!"

"Crack!"

"Bastard!!!"

Watching the three-headed black dog suddenly open its mouth and swallow another True God, Wuyou Zhishu in the sky was furious.

"I already agreed! Why are you still making a move?"

"Because thirty-three is an odd number and cannot be divided by two."

After answering the question as a matter of course, Hearing Li Ang reached out to touch the strung-up True God souls one by one, then reached out to grab them and adjust their positions, stringing the True Gods who helped maintain the rules of the present world on the first half, and tying the True Gods who didn't matter if eaten on the second half.

Immediately following, amidst the terrified expressions of the two groups of True Gods, Hearing Li Ang first tore the rope stringing the True Gods from the middle, thought for a moment, then rummaged through the first half, plucked the seventh True God, whose soul had a mark, and threaded them onto the edible second half, then shook the first half of the rope toward the top of his head.

"Here, these can be let go. As long as you come down, I will release them immediately."

"..."

Watching the True Gods, who were one fewer than agreed, Wuyou Zhishu, circling in the sky, nearly bit their teeth to pieces.

However, through the previous transaction, they had already understood Hearing Li Ang's style and knew that if they argued on grounds of reason, the Food God would only use the excuse of balancing the numbers to take the opportunity to eat a few more True Gods. Therefore, they had to pretend they saw nothing, ignored the seventh True God's desperate screams, and nodded in resignation:

"Fine! Make her swear!"
