Chapter 1043: Azazel Breathes a Sigh of Relief

Azazel looked at Ophis, who was revealing only her head, while cold sweat continued to pour down from his forehead.

"H-hello there, Ophis..." Azazel said, trembling slightly.

"Young man, w-why is the Infinite Dragon God in a place like this?" Azazel gave Lingyun a very awkward smile.

"Hm? Why is she here? I just brought Ophis home for a while!" Lingyun said with a smile.

"Bringing Ophis home for a while—you really are extraordinary, young man. This is Ophis! The Infinite Dragon God!" Azazel's voice was slightly distorted.

"What does the Infinite Dragon God amount to? Do you know who she is?" Liuli pointed a finger at Great Red, who was sipping juice to the side.

Azazel's gaze instinctively turned toward Great Red. From Great Red, he sensed an even more vast power, a power that seemed even greater than Ophis'.

Does an existence even more powerful than Ophis exist in this world? Azazel could not help but fall into deep thought.

Suddenly, a bolt of lightning flashed through Azazel's mind. Azazel couldn't help but widen his mouth, his eyes filled with an expression of utter disbelief: "C-could it be that this is...?"

"That's right, she is Great Red!" Liuli said with a smile.

"Gulp..."

Azazel couldn't help but swallow his saliva. He felt that he must have been sabotaged by someone at some point, causing him to hallucinate, which was why he had suddenly encountered these two terrifying existences. Most importantly, there was no record of Great Red ever descending into this world, so whether the person in front of him was truly the real Great Red remained an unknown.

"She is indeed Great Red!" Ophis spoke up at this moment, directly shattering Azazel's fantasies.

Although he had never truly interacted with Ophis directly, Azazel knew that an existence like Ophis would not deign to lie. In other words, the one before them was truly that legendary existence, Great Red, who was excluded even from the world's power rankings.

At this moment, a sense of dizziness couldn't help but surface in Azazel's eyes. Two legendary Dragon Gods descending simultaneously upon this small place called Kuo Town—if this matter were to explode, he didn't know how great a storm it would cause.

"Young man, you really do know how to surprise me!" Azazel took a deep breath, barely steadying his mind, and said slowly to Lingyun.

"It doesn't really count as a surprise. For you all, before engaging with the terrorist forces, successfully turning their leader to your side should be good news, right!" Lingyun said.

"Turning the opposing leader to our side?" Hearing Lingyun's words, a flash of astonishment couldn't help but cross Azazel's eyes.

"That's right, turned to our side. I've brought Ophis into our camp now!" Lingyun said.

"Hey, young man, you aren't joking, are you? Bringing Ophis into your own camp—is such a thing really possible?" Azazel couldn't help but exclaim.

"You don't think the Khaos Brigade is something indispensable to Ophis, do you?" Lingyun said with a light chuckle.

"Isn't that the case? You have to know, Ophis even distributed her extremely precious Snakes to them!"

"Extremely precious Snakes? When did you get the delusion that things like Snakes are extremely precious to Ophis? Ophis can produce things like this whenever she wants, okay!" Lingyun rolled his eyes and said.

As if to verify Lingyun's words, Ophis stretched out her hand, and one after another, the Khaos Brigade's greatest trump card—the "Snakes"—appeared in Ophis' hand, then dropped onto the sofa, looking just like things produced at will.

"If that's not the case, then why did you establish the Khaos Brigade, Ophis? You gathered so many dangerous individuals and even bestowed such powerful Snakes upon them." Azazel's expression couldn't help but become serious.

"Originally, it was to defeat Great Red and reclaim the original silence. But now that I have Lingyun, it is no longer needed!" Ophis shook her head gently and said.

"So that's how it is. Being able to abandon a dangerous group like the Khaos Brigade—that is truly great." Azazel couldn't help but breathe a slight sigh of relief.

The Khaos Brigade with Ophis and the Khaos Brigade without Ophis were existences of completely different magnitudes. After all, having the world's number one powerhouse as a leader created truly terrifying pressure.

"Within the Khaos Brigade, I have never issued any orders." Ophis said calmly.

"So that's how it is. In other words, you were just like a mascot within the Khaos Brigade?" Azazel said softly.

At the beginning, he had worried that Ophis was the direct leader of the Khaos Brigade, which would have tied their hands in their operations. But if Ophis were merely a mascot, then things would be much easier to handle. Then again, with Ophis' personality, she really wouldn't care about such things; her goal had always been to defeat Great Red and reclaim the original silence.

"In other words, the actions of those guys in the Khaos Brigade during this time weren't authorized by you either!" Azazel asked.

"Mm, I am unaware of what the people below have done." Ophis said calmly.

"Then, if we take action against the Khaos Brigade, you won't intervene, right?" Azazel asked again, feeling somewhat uneasy.

"This thing, it doesn't matter if I just give it to you now!" After Ophis said this calmly, she shifted her gaze back to Lingyun.

For the current Ophis, the affairs of the Khaos Brigade were truly not as important as what she would eat for her next meal.

Watching Ophis sell out the entire Khaos Brigade so cleanly and decisively, an expression of being unable to laugh or cry couldn't help but appear on Azazel's face.

However, this also allowed Azazel to drop a heavy stone from his heart; after all, without the massive boulder that was Ophis, they could finally let go and go all out.

"Since that's the case, it seems our plan needs to change first. I need to go see the others, so I will take my leave." Azazel said to Lingyun, then left in a hurry.
