Chapter 94: Why Won

Great Vortex.

A certain star system deeper inside.

A demon world completely shrouded in Subspace Energy.

An even denser, towering demon factory, where countless mutated mortals labor heavily on one hand while enduring painful mutations as their bodies constantly warp within the A-space Fluctuation.

At the apex of the endless wails of suffering mortals, inside a planetary fortress, a Chaos war gang lord, with a "seriously earnest" face, repeatedly nods at the Heilu before him:

"So you mean there's a group of mortals, carrying a dozen or so ships, following the War General all the way into the Great Vortex?"

Seeing the other's earnestness, Heilu's face lit up with the excitement of finally meeting someone who "understands reason."

He even, with great care, in a single breath pointed out at least three errors.

"They're not mortals; they're evil gods wearing mortal appearances."

"And it's not a dozen ships; it's a dozen broken ships."

"Moreover, they're not following the War General; they're chasing to slash."

Heilu, while explaining, had tears of emotion welling in his eyes, even wanting to grasp the other's hands.

The pirate lord opposite hadn't expected Heilu to have such an "emotional" side; faced with Heilu's careful correction of his mistakes and the offered hand, he was momentarily stunned, unable to respond.

Heilu, with a trembling, tearful voice, bitterly recounted his hardships so far:

"Brother, you have no idea how I've gotten this far."

"I've run the whole way, spoken the whole way, yet not a single one believed me."

"Even if my words are dry, they still rush forward."

"Along the way I've already seen at least four war gangs; without firing, they still jump onto that evil god's Bridge."

"Sometimes I even wonder, if I hadn't told them these things, perhaps they'd be more normal and not so eager to prove I'm talking nonsense."

Tears glistened in Heilu's eyes; the Chaos lord whose hands Heilu had grasped was momentarily at a loss for words.

Only DuJiao, serving as a humanoid lucky star behind them, couldn't help but flicker his eyelid under the gloom!

Heilu still has the nerve to cry; if he hadn't been pointing at a mortal and calling them an evil god, and saying they followed the War General to fight, these war gang lords wouldn't have been provoked by his words into jumping to see just how brave that mortal truly is.

In other words, those four war gang lords who went to their deaths were all summoned by Heilu!

And now, looking at the pirate lord before him, perched at the edge of the Great Vortex's core, Heilu seems to have finally found someone willing to listen to him.

Only Heilu is moved to the core, but DuJiao, looking at the Chaos lord who gives Heilu a disgusting, ungraspable stare, sighs helplessly.

He probably expects a fifth one to go to their death soon.

DuJiao says nothing, and after being moved for a long while Heilu looks up, about to continue his lament, when an enemy raid alarm—one Heilu has heard countless times on his journey—resounds through the fortress once more.

Heilu's eyes snap open, and he stands upright:

"Damn, that evil god is coming to kill!"

Heilu's face shows terror, and the Chaos lord opposite finally seizes the chance, pulls his hand back and also stands up.

"Prepare the troops immediately!"

The Chaos lord orders, and Heilu's face brightens at the news:

"Do you want to run with me?"

After saying that, fearing the other's hesitation, Heilu adds:

"If you and I combine, our chances of escaping will be much higher!"

Heilu's face is full of anticipation, and the Chaos lord actually nods in agreement:

"No problem, we'll set out together to find the War General shortly."

Heilu's face breaks into a smile; he feels his persuasion finally worked, but before Heilu can speak, the Chaos lord adds:

"But before that, I need to take care of something first."

Heilu is startled: "What is it?"

Chaos lord:

"It's nothing much; a group of mortals and a dozen broken ships entered my territory, I have to clean them up first!"

Heilu: "......???"

He watches the Chaos lord ignore him and walk away, even sneering with a light "psst" as he passes by.

Heilu can only stare wide‑eyed, standing dumbfounded.

Then he watches the other not even bother waiting for anyone, as about a dozen Astats board the Yunxuji and fly into space.

Heilu's cheek twitches, and the feeling of being moved vanishes instantly.

Heilu first silently and rapidly opens and closes his lips, then lifts his head and says:

"Let's also get ready."

The Astat who had been running alongside shows anticipation and quickly says:

"Shall we also go up and deal with those mortals?"

Heilu is stunned, seeing his subordinate also not believing the evil god; his cheek twitches even more.

Then, surprisingly not angry, he turns outward directly:

"Then you stay here; I'll take my men and leave first."

The remaining Chaos Astat, hearing this, feels a bit awkward; he was the Astat left behind on Alert Star that day, stationed on the ship, and had never even seen Xisi's face from start to finish.

So he truly doubts the exaggerated tales Heilu told.

But now, seeing Heilu too lazy to refute him and only intent on fleeing, the Astat just pauses, then grits his teeth and follows Heilu.

He doesn't know whether those mortals are powerful, but the war gang lords ahead have indeed never contacted Heilu again.

Soon, Heilu boards a warship only half‑supplied, while waiting for the ship to leave orbit, he looks to the other side of the orbit, awaiting the Chaos lord to send the Xisi fleet to their deaths.

In fact there's nothing to see, because they can't see the scene of jumping in.

They only know that this seemingly normal Moon-class, like a man‑eating giant beast, has already swallowed an unknown number of Chaos Lords.

At this moment, inside the Moon-class Bridge, the Chaos Lord kneeling on the ground watches the KongnueKuangZhanshi who has placed an axe directly on his own neck, as well as the Five Gods 'Evil Demon' gathered around, and even a mortal of the Green Skin boss, cursing their former self countless times in their heart for what they did an hour ago.

"Tell me, where is Abadon!"

The KongnueKuangZhanshi smashed a fist straight into the lord's face.

Looking at the ferocious demons before him, the Chaos Lord could only feel the urge to cry without tears, envying that most of them have already left Heilu on the Orbit.

He doesn't even have the desire to resist; after all, just by looking at the 'Dream Combo' before him, the lord tries to pray in his heart, yet doesn't even know who the hell to look for!

"War General......"

"No! Abadon!"

"Abadon said he wants to continue deeper into the Great Vortex; I guess we need to find Xiulun."

Xisi, hearing this, glanced at the Thousand‑Child Supreme Wizard beside him; the wizard promptly bowed respectfully to Xisi, confirming that the other party was not lying.

Xisi withdrew his gaze, too lazy to speak, and simply raised an eyebrow at the KongnueKuangZhanshi.

Then, while the Chaos Lord's face was full of terror, he was suddenly beheaded by a fierce axe swing from the other side.

"Prepare to Leap, I'm going to find Xiulun!"

Xisi's ship gradually began to continue moving together with the Moon-class.

Watching Xisi start to move again, Heilu, hidden on the other side, also saw the questioning gazes from his subordinates.

No need to ask for the result, because when the Chaos Lord jumped up and the other side acted as if nothing was wrong, everyone already knew the outcome.

Now everyone's gaze is only asking whether Heilu intends to continue running toward the next War Gang.

And Heilu, confronting the notion of total resignation, after half a day of contemplation, looked at Xisi, who had been killing War Gang lords all along, and finally made a momentous decision!

"This evil god seems only to kill War Gang lords; we won't go after the War Gang, we..."

"Go straight to find Xiulun!"
