Chapter 1535: No Honor / Not Speaking of Virtue

"Senior Emma..."

Hearing the Taurus Director's words, Li Ang couldn't help but clench his fist, and for a moment he fell silent as well, while the Pisces Director pondered for a moment before likewise reaching out to block the Pisces pattern on the table.

"Same as Lord Taurus, I neither support nor oppose. Sorry, I'm not good at analyzing this kind of problem, I really can't determine which side is right, so I can only choose to abstain, but I'm willing to listen to you all.

If you choose to go to war, I'll definitely give it my all; if you want to continue talks, then count me in as one of the three people carving their names into the 【Nameless Stele Sea】."

"..."

So... two votes for, one against, two abstentions?

After assessing the current situation, the assembled Directors first exchanged glances, then in unison raised their hands and picked the black beans out of their ears, and immediately all looked toward the Capricorn Director's seat.

"Ahahaha, I thought you weren't planning to hear my opinion."

Not holding everyone's "bullying" behavior against him, the Capricorn Director reappeared in everyone's view and laughed cheerfully, then began to analyze:

"Regarding this matter, here's how I see it: fighting right now is definitely the best option, after all, better to fight early than late; but given our current state, not fighting is actually more prudent, yet we must also consider the Dead Realm's other possible plans..."

Bu Hao! Too careless!

Under the Capricorn Director's penetrating mental assault, the Archer Director sitting closest was the first to suffer, his square face turning green from the verbal beating, hurriedly trembling as he stuffed the bean back in.

The other Directors who reacted in turn also hastily followed suit, jamming the life-saving Silence Beans into their ears in unison and cranking the blocking level to maximum, then without lifting their heads stared at the round table before the Capricorn Director.

After a full ten-plus minutes, under the gaze of the remaining five Directors, the goat-head-fish-body Capricorn pattern on the round table blurred slightly, as if blocked by something, and everyone thereby understood the Capricorn Director's stance.

Oppose.

Two to two to two — for, against, abstain each two votes. Faced with this headache-inducing voting result, Li Ang for a moment didn't know what to say.

If the Dead Realm had an "XX Queen" that could trigger 【The Man Behind the Queen】, then I could totally replicate the Northern Border Kingdom operation, directly make a move and carry out a continental-plate-level forced demolition by force.

But among the Dead Realm rulers who count as "Kings," seemingly only the Crow-Eyed Granny and the Mountain-Patrolling Woman are female, and both are clearly hostile, impossible to let me hug them and rub badges, so my strongest trump card can't be used.

And the Cancer Director's analysis was quite reasonable too — the Cleanup Bureau's situation is indeed not good right now, more than enough for self-defense but severely lacking in offense; if we drag these old, weak, sick, and disabled along and forcibly wage war on the Dead Realm, that's gambling with the safety of all humanity...

Wait!

Suddenly remembering something, Li Ang reached up and touched his cufflink, pulling out the Myriad Soul Banner... pulling out the string strung with twenty-four True God souls.

"These are the spoils I seized in the Shrine Maiden Nation,"

He shook the rope hard, flinging straight the string of True Gods that kept wailing and cursing, then Li Ang tied one end of the rope to a table leg, and proceeded to keep pulling things out of the Mirror World.

"These are the corpses of those slain True Gods, plus the blood-soaked shrouds, and the execution ground, wooden stakes, ritual carpet, altar platform..."

He pulled out thirty-nine bloody mummies and stacked them on the meeting round table, and while continuing to pull things from the Mirror World, under the other Directors' extremely strained expressions, he spoke to the Taurus Director:

"Lord Taurus, can you forge a set of Anomalous Items specifically for dealing with Dead Realm rulers using these materials?"

"Huh?" "If it's not enough, adding this works too."

Reaching out to grab the three-headed black dog by the scruff, dragging it out of the Mirror World after it had eaten the Nonexistent Narrative, Li Ang tentatively said:

"Although the Nonexistent Narrative's body was beaten to death by my fists, it also counts as dying on the execution platform; if we fudge it a bit it should barely make a set... You see if these things are usable?"

Usable... usable! This is way too usable!

Looking at the round table piled high with blood and gore, then at the True God souls tethered to the chair leg, and the huge pile of complete materials soaked in divinity on the ground, the Taurus Director's breathing involuntarily grew heavy at once.

No matter how much money sits in a bank, it's just a string of digits that can be written in seconds; but if you convert all that money into cash, it's enough to pile a money mountain that makes you numb from scalp to soles.

The Taurus Director's mood right now was somewhat similar — even though she had long known Li Ang was extremely "wealthy," looking at this pile of "historic-grade" lavish materials, she was still so moved she could barely speak.

Anyone who achieves anything in the Taurus Secret Arts cannot lack love for Anomalous Forging; the surging Taurus Director clenched her fist three times in a row before suppressing the urge to pounce and roll around, voice trembling as she reminded:

"You... Li Ang, you need to think clearly. These are enough to forge a set of Anomalous Items numbered within the top 10, letting you instantly possess power rivaling or even surpassing an ordinary Pillar God; but if specially targeted at Dead Realm rulers, then it can only..."

"No problem, go ahead and use them."

After looking one by one at

Hearing this, Li Ang smiled and handed over the case holding the sniper rifle, then said with confidence in his eyes:

"No matter how rare the materials, they're not rarer than people. If they can solve the current problem, then these things are worth it... and since I got them once, I can definitely get them a second time; just use them up and go get more."

You son of a bitch!

Through the three-headed black dog's bulging belly, hearing Li Ang's words, the Nonexistent Narrative inside the dog's belly felt a surge of evil fire suddenly shoot up from the bottom of his heart, whoosh burning through his crown.

Use them up and go get more... this one trip of yours and the Slaughter King Association has already lost two-fifths of its members! Where else do you think you'll go get them? Damn it! You... wait! At least let me curse him once! Fuck!

Unaware of the Nonexistent Narrative's resentment, after putting away the three-headed black dog containing it along with the other materials Li Ang had produced, the Taurus Director couldn't help but say with mixed feelings:

"Li Ang... you... I really don't know what to say. With the things you've produced, this time we might really be able to settle it in one blow, and never have to negotiate with those Dead Realm rulers again."

No more talks?

Li Ang pondered for a moment at those words, then looked at the Taurus Director and said:

"Actually I think we can still continue talks with the Dead Realm rulers."

"Huh?"

"What I mean is, find a suitable venue, invite those Dead Realm rulers over to talk, and then..."

Speaking here, Li Ang paused slightly, then raised his right hand and chopped down fiercely, making a heavy cleaving gesture, then with a fierce glint in his eyes proposed:

【50】 "We set an ambush in advance, kill a few Dead Realm rulers first, and dealing with the rest will be much easier."

"Let's set up an ambush in advance, kill a few Death Realm rulers first, then dealing with the rest will be much easier."

"..."

"What's wrong? Is there something wrong with what I said?"

Seeing the Directors' strange looks, Li Ang couldn't help but ask back with surprise:

"It's already a fight to the death, do you still plan to talk credibility with them?"
