Chapter 1727: Leon

Exposed…

Looking at the smile on the face of the Cicada of All Things and the Original Sin Demon God covered in cyan light, Leon couldn't help but close his eyes slightly, taking a deep breath in his heart.

From the first day he joined the Cleanup Bureau, the thing he feared in his heart had finally happened… Upon discovering that they could not deal with him no matter what, the enemy had finally turned their gaze toward his family.

"How did you discover it?"

Staring at the Cicada of All Things, who was smiling very gently, Leon, having completely lost any sense of luck, spoke without expression:

"Was it because I helped her cover her clothes? Or did you discover something from her soul?"

"Neither. Those are secondary reasons. Primarily, it was thanks to my own eyes."

Reaching out to trace a half-circle in the void in front of the side of its head, pointing to the three eyeballs embedded in its brow and temples, the Cicada of All Things smiled and said:

"To be honest, although I saw at the very beginning that the Original Sin Demon God was incomplete, I merely took it as wear and tear during the revival process, or some extremely minor error.

The Original Sin Demon God who was killed in the Pool of Resurrection missing a bit of kindness after being revived is as normal as a few drops of water missing from the ocean. Compared to the boundless ocean, who would care about a few missing drops?"

"…"

"Oh, apologies. You would care."

Looking at Leon, who was silent opposite him, the Cicada of All Things, whose mood seemed very good, smiled:

"Lord Food God, do not try to pull any more tricks… I can feel that from the moment I appeared, you have been desperately extracting the power of the Original Sin Demon God, hoping to control her completely in your hands before I could act.

But no matter how covertly you act, in front of my eyes, your actions are more conspicuous than the sun embedded in the sky. With the six Great Angels currently under my control, and with them suppressing her, it is impossible for you to snatch your sister back completely."

His sister?!?!?!

Hearing the words of the Cicada of All Things and thinking about the implications, the six Great Angels and Original Sin Demon Gods present were immediately shocked, looking toward the Original Sin Demon God who was bowing her head.

The Original Sin Demon God is actually his sister? This… a Demon God? A human? Is this reasonable?

"This is very reasonable."

Whether it was to continue exerting psychological pressure on Leon or because it had the habit of liking to answer others' questions, the Cicada of All Things pointed to its five eyeballs again and explained with a smile:

"Among my five eyes, these three single eyes represent 【Cognition】, 【Law】, and 【Method】, while the two compound eyes represent 【Individual】 and 【World】. Therefore, the world in my eyes is different from yours.

What I can see is not just your appearance, but your souls, your knowledge, your thinking, and the traces left behind after you, as individual entities, have interacted with the entire world.

Explaining it this way might be a bit complicated. Simply put, what anomalous items you have used, what places you have been to, what kind of enemies you have fought, what kind of training, immersion, and learning you have undergone… these things all have traces to follow in my eyes."

After patiently finishing its explanation of its abilities, the Cicada of All Things smiled and continued:

"In my eyes, among all the anomalous 'traces' remaining on this Lord Food God, the one that had the earliest contact with him is identical to a certain 'trace' on the Original Sin Demon God. This proves that they had contact with the same anomalous item a long time ago.

Upon discovering this strange commonality, I compared the characteristics of this trace with the knowledge I possess, and then naturally understood the ability of that anomalous item… and even found a way to lift its effect."

Smiling at the expressionless Leon, the five eyes of the Cicada of All Things rotated slightly, gazing toward Leon's face in unison for the first time, and then said pointedly:

"Lord Food God, for someone as powerful as you, even if this inconspicuous anomalous item were lifted, you could forcibly resist its effect and would not return to your original position.

But for your 'ordinary' sister, if the effect of this anomalous item were completely lifted, then her soul would 'whoosh' and instantly disappear from the present world, returning to where she belongs."

"…"

"Finally, Lord Food God, please do not harbor any sense of luck, nor be blinded by so-called human righteousness. You must make your choice as calmly as possible."

After pointing toward the Original Sin Demon God, who was bowing her head, the Cicada of All Things smiled and said gently:

"Even someone as powerful as you, once a drop of fresh water returns to the sea and is diluted a billion times by the ocean, it is absolutely impossible to find her again… You understand what I mean, right?"

"…"

I understand, of course I understand… but you motherfucker! You motherfucker!!!

Staring extremely earnestly at the Cicada of All Things opposite him, examining its entire body from top to bottom, and after memorizing its build, face, features, eyelashes… wishing he could even memorize the position of every nerve behind its lenses, Leon spoke without hesitation:

"You win. You hand the Original Sin Demon God over to me, and I will go find the Virgo Director for that portion of 【Lifespan】… Additionally, regarding this transaction, you had best not play any tricks whatsoever, otherwise…"

"Otherwise, you will definitely try every possible means, even if it means perishing together, to kill me completely… Rest assured, I see this point very clearly."

After smiling at Leon, the Cicada of All Things retracted all the cyan light from the Original Sin Demon God, leaving only the most insignificant bit at the center of her brow, and then smiled:

"Although you currently wish you could grind me to dust, you still retain reason in your mind and will not abandon everything to perish with me. After all, in the eyes of you, who are more arrogant than the most arrogant Demon God, I, one of the small Four Pillar Gods, am not yet worthy of you exchanging your own life for mine.

But if I dare to go back on my word and destroy what you cherish most, then the revenge I receive will be unscrupulous, and very likely completely without bottom lines. While I am not afraid of you, I do not wish to be entangled by someone like you…"

"Hm? You are leaving just like that? Do you not want to chat a while longer?"

Chat your mother!

Ignoring the invitation from the Cicada of All Things behind him, and after asking for the Scorpio Director's location on the "phone," Leon, whose face was dark, immediately turned his head and rushed over without a moment's pause.

Supreme Four Pillar God! Cicada of All Things! Wait until I go to the Old Earth to catch your true body, gouge out those five damned eyeballs of yours, and crush them one by one. Then I will chat with you for as long as you want!
