Chapter 2105: The Most Tragic Boss in History

~8 min read 1,412 words

The old wizard fell silent for a moment, then placed the 'empty wine bottle' beside his feet.

"The taste is actually not bad, bring another bottle."

The old wizard demanded the 'wine' in a hardcore manner.

"Okay."

Su Xiao then took out a bottle of 't49_37 solution', threw it to the old wizard, after which the old wizard continued drinking with relish.

"Your seal on the heart has already been crushed by you, I can feel it, as for Azathoth's consciousness now residing in whose body, ah…… I can't be bothered to say."

The old wizard's 'I can't be bothered to say' was both helpless and heartbreaking, a sigh uttered only after being arranged clearly and explicitly.

"No wonder you're willing to tell me all this, you're just stalling for time."

"..."

Su Xiao did not answer, his purpose already achieved, he had no habit of explaining things to enemies.

"Hey, kid, say something."

Blue veins bulged at the old wizard's neck, the deadly poison began to take effect, this poison acts slowly but its toxicity is extraordinarily domineering.

"Who broke your leg."

Su Xiao voiced the doubt in his heart.

"This one, hahaha……" the old wizard gave a low laugh, then continued: "You might not believe it, but it was the Girl of Sorrow who broke it, that doll, long since no longer needing any crystal heart, after Nyah died, she was no longer simply a doll, the craftsmanship of Dawn makes one feel 'hard to fathom'~"

The old wizard let out a long breath, the 'wine bottle' in his hand slipped and shattered on the floor with a crack.

"Azathoth's consciousness, bestial Azathoth, are they now two separate entities?"

Su Xiao muttered under his breath, for some reason he felt bestial Azathoth would not be easy to deal with either, but for now he must first resolve Azathoth's consciousness, if the two recombined, who knows what stage it would reach, even if it peaked at seventh stage, he could not withstand it.

With over 70% of his doubts resolved, the relationship between the Muis family and the Moen family also clarified, Su Xiao took out a small bottle of kerosene, threw it onto the old wizard's corpse, and flicked the cigarette butt onto the ground.

With a whoosh, flames surged up, killing the old wizard, only a kill prompt appeared, no rewards at all, showing that after breaking free from Azathoth's control, the old wizard had indeed done much for the Reincarnation Paradise, thus being judged as a contractor-type identity.

Even so, the old wizard must die, for if Azathoth's consciousness were to transfer again into his body, things would go badly.

First, Moen Laurent's suspicion is completely ruled out, he cannot be the vessel for Azathoth's consciousness, because he is being eroded by the White Goat's ability, he knows too much, those evil gods are punishing him, making him live in pain.

Dawn and Gus are next, they know less than Laurent, thus they suffer less pain.

Everything Laurent has done so far has been under manipulation, including founding the Wizard Association, but Laurent has already reached a state of being guilt-free.

The old wizard's earlier description of the three immortal wizards was also interesting, 'great pitiful people', now thinking about it, indeed they are.

They rebelled against the ancient gods, wanting to restore normalcy to this world, although one of them was used in the process, they were indeed great, but also equally pitiful.

Having sorted his thoughts, Su Xiao walked out of the secret room, after walking ten or so meters, he arrived before the teleportation array.

Shortly after, Su Xiao returned to the Wizard Association headquarters in Helu City, no wonder civilian life here is miserable, Helu City was built under the coercion of the Ruler·Sotoss, and the Wizard Association was then promoted through the utilization of 'Azathoth's consciousness'.

Under such rule, civilians being able to live well would be ghostly, the ancient gods forever loom high above, controlling all beings according to their whims.

Compared to them, the Moon God is practically a clear stream among the ancient gods.

And the Ruler·Sotoss and his ilk are merely indulging in wanton abuse of this world.

Returning to the Wizard Association headquarters, Su Xiao reached the thirtieth floor via the stairs, entered the Old God Temple within.

Scrape~ scrape~

The sound of weapon grinding came from afar, Gus was sitting before a square stone, polishing a long-handled battle axe.

"No need to rush, in two days I'll go deal with the doll."

Gus spoke without lifting his head.

"That matter is unnecessary."

"Huh?"

Gus stopped polishing.

"There was a misunderstanding, the doll is fine."

Leaving those words, Su Xiao turned and walked out of the Old God Temple, Gus paused for a moment, then continued polishing the axe blade, he could feel that something major was about to happen.

Leaving the Old God Temple, Su Xiao sat on the stone steps waiting, Bubu Wang remained inside the Old God Temple as a precaution, Bahah was located in the Rest House, Am was on the first floor of the Wizard Association, as for Kaisar, he was also doing something very important, the plan had reached its final stage.

After waiting an hour, Kaisar, panting heavily, came running up from the lower stairs.

"Done."

Kaisar wiped the sweat from his forehead, then quietly said something else.

"Then let's go see them."

"They're overjoyed, naturally, after all, that's the recipe for the Ice Soul Magic Potion."

Kaisar smiled somewhat lecherously, he had just gone to contact the Moen family.

……

On the tenth floor of the Wizard Association, in a temporarily tidied-up living room, over a dozen wizards were busy, various foods were placed on the round stone table at the center, looking quite good.

"Guests may arrive at any time, hurry up."

Dressed in ancient-style noble attire, face pale and smooth, Moen Tony urged them on, compared to other wizards in long robes, his outfit was somewhat unconventional.

"The guests have arrived."

A low voice came from somewhere, Moen Tony urged the wizards in the room to leave the banquet hall, while the sole remaining black-robed wizard was none other than the head of the Moen family, Moen Alfuth.

The door was pushed open, Moen Tony quickly stepped forward to greet them, his face beaming with enthusiasm.

"Mr. Kukulin, Kaisar, please come inside."

Tony differs from most wizards, although he is only a gray wizard, he is not insane.

"Tony, you're being too polite."

Kaisar, despite saying that with his mouth, had already sat down at the round stone table and reached out to grab a roasted chicken.

Su Xiao sat beside Kaisar, placed a piece of parchment on the table, seeing this, Tony's eyes lit up, and together with the head of the Moen family, Moen Alfuth, they took their seats.

According to the previously agreed price, 80,000 silver coins, the Morn family has purchased the formula for the Ice Soul Demon Elixir.

Tony got straight to the point as soon as he spoke; the Ice Soul potion has long been out of stock, so the Morn family urgently needs its formula.

"The price is not an issue, but I have a request."

Caesar rubbed his hands, gesturing for Tony to come closer.

Tony looked puzzled, glancing at his clan leader, Morn Alphers.

Bang!

A crow suddenly struck the window, and in the next instant, a gleaming blade flash appeared.

Drops of fresh blood splattered onto the dining table, and Morn Alphers' head rolled off.

"You!"

Morn Tony's pupils contracted; he was about to shout, calling for the family members hiding in the adjacent room to break through the wall and rush in, when a voice appeared out of nowhere.

"Meaningless struggle."

The headless corpse of Morn Alphers remained seated, calmly setting down the cup of red tea in his hand.

"Ancient God Azathoth, have you heard of the Butcher of Living Beings?"

Su Xiao flicked the bloodstains from his long blade, and on Morn Alphers' neck, a wooden plaque was inserted, with a blue glow flickering in the groove above; this item is called 【Chapter of Greed】.

With a thud, the headless corpse of Morn Alphers suddenly collapsed onto the dining table, a bloodstained wooden plaque falling away; within the 【Chapter of Greed】, it is said that all beings are equal—the Butcher of Living Beings who had 'slain' Su Xiao seventy-nine times now welcomes a new guest.
