Chapter 373: Enhanced Child of Taboo?

"Sure enough, all living beings are troubled by sunk costs, even true gods."

"The Chaos Gods have invested quite a bit here; otherwise, how could an empire built by a mere human handle the invasions of green-skins, ratmen, and Zerg simultaneously... The Demon Star Command chose this place as a place of conquest, likely for this reason as well."

"If those three demigods really recover, my plan to change the world is destined to fail."

"Even if I have more followers and control a larger territory, it will be useless."

"Unless I am willing to stay in this galaxy for hundreds of years and fight a guerrilla war with those three..."

At this thought, Li Yu couldn't help but shake his head.

Although the mission given by the Demon Star Command this time had no time limit, it might really allow him to spend hundreds of years before settling.

But Li Yu had no such intention, and it was fundamentally impossible to do so.

He could create such shocking momentum now!

The key point lay in the Lord of Judgment.

And his tricking of the "Lord of Judgment" was not without limits.

He had only succeeded in summoning it by exploiting a loophole.

There was a risk of exposure at any time; by then, let alone the Lord of Judgment continuing to help him, it was more likely to turn around and hunt him down.

Although he could summon the "Lord of the Furnace" in reverse to expel the Lord of Judgment—which was easy given his friendship with the Furnace—this rebellion plan would definitely fail.

The Furnace was more powerful than Judgment.

But its authority was not as easy to use as Judgment's.

It could indiscriminately destroy the Long Chao galaxy, but it could not achieve the precise control and damage over a certain level or group like Judgment could.

"There is no other way!"

"I must solve those three demigods in a short time, otherwise it will still be a defeat."

"Trouble, truly a great trouble."

Li Yu sighed, frowning.

But there was not the slightest surprise in his eyes.

Nightmare-level difficulty should normally be like this.

If it could be easily completed by taking shortcuts, then this difficulty would be too underestimated.

One must know that there were far more Demon Star Commandants who knew how to take shortcuts and play dirty tricks than just him.

However, he also had a premonition in his heart:

"As long as those three demigods are solved, the Chaos Gods will definitely choose to give up this place."

"And I will also obtain a perfect evaluation."

With this thought, Li Yu left Storm Star and, using Void Bait Threads and some fanatics as space-time anchors, crossed the starry sky and entered Long Huang Star directly.

That's right!

He was going to be an assassin himself.

The targets of the assassination were the three imperial demigods: the Pope, the War Commander, and the Mad King.

Behind each of them stood three Chaos Evil Gods that Li Yu was already very familiar with.

Myriad Changes!

Blood God!

Evil God!

This galactic empire clearly used the "Long Huang Sect" as its state religion and revered the human powerhouse Long Huang, who was rumored to have already ascended to godhood after founding the First Interstellar Empire.

Who could have thought?

The three supreme rulers of the Empire did not believe in Long Huang at all, and behind each of them stood a Chaos Evil God.

It was incredible, but that was the fact.

Of course, Li Yu's behavior was not much different.

The God Emperor Sect, whose initial form was the "Hundred-Armed Long Huang," also had nothing to do with Long Huang, and it was Li Yu who was in control behind the scenes.

Poor founding emperor of this Long Chao Empire!

All parties used him as a front and an excuse.

From this perspective, he was likely truly and completely fallen.

Otherwise, whether he was a demigod or had already ascended to godhood, he should have had some reaction.

As soon as Li Yu descended on Long Huang Star, the scene that entered his eyes made him very satisfied.

The structure of this planet!

Was somewhat similar to a pyramid shape.

The ruling class all lived on the upper levels, possessing vast resources and enjoying all the offerings.

While other classes were layered downwards, with resources decreasing in turn... the commoners, who were the most numerous and had the most miserable fate, lived in the 【Bottom Nest】.

Their lives were almost fixed.

That was to burn their own flesh and soul to support the classes above.

In some local areas, the average human lifespan was even less than twenty; they were truly consumables in the literal sense.

But now, from the Bottom Nest upwards, smoke of war was everywhere.

The commoners who had gained power, under the arrangement of the 【God Emperor Sect】, were counterattacking upwards in an orderly manner.

However!

There were three places they dared not disturb, no matter how many people they had.

They were the Papal Headquarters, the War Commander's Mansion, and the Imperial Palace.

These three places were now like "giant reefs" in a turbulent flood, always standing firm.

And there was no counterattack from within, letting Long Huang Star be ravaged.

Clearly, all three sides were waiting.

Waiting for the three powerful demigods to recover, waiting for the Lord of Judgment to retreat, or simply for a complete eruption to destroy the entire galaxy.

Whichever of these two endings happened, it meant Li Yu's complete failure.

Therefore, he would not allow it.

As for the Lord of Judgment, he could be exposed at any time, and he couldn't afford to delay for even a second.

Li Yu didn't even hesitate in the slightest and walked directly toward the Imperial Palace.

The demigod inside.

Was the master of the Long Chao Third Interstellar Empire, Ilya, titled the "Mad King."

As Li Yu moved forward, secrets surfaced in his mind.

Both related to the Long Chao Empire's royal family and his target for this trip, that Mad King Ilya.

"The royal family of the Long Chao Empire, besides all being natural psionicists, also inherited the dragon bloodline of their ancestor, Long Huang."

"They all possess strength, speed, and defense far exceeding mortals, with many dragon characteristics remaining on their bodies, such as dragon scales, dragon pupils, etc., and can even cast some dragon forbidden arts... Rumor has it that their ancestor was once an ordinary human who accidentally captured an ancient mother dragon and, taking advantage of her severe injuries, desecrated her, making her pregnant with a half-breed fetus, from which the Long Chao clan was born."

"Every royal family member, after reaching adulthood, is assigned a dragon-like creature that looks like a giant winged lizard as a mount, which the royal family wants to use to prove that they are indeed descendants of the ancient dragon race."

"But what Serafina peeked at was another version: saying that the Long Chao ancestors were actually a hybrid race pieced together through genes, with humans as the main bloodline."

"There are many gods in the Chaos Universe who love to do this kind of thing."

"The most notorious is the Old Saint."

"It is euphemistically called making the world prosperous and lively, even if it is deformed."

"Perhaps because they are a hybrid race pieced together by genes, within the Long Chao royal family, besides the tradition of intermarriage among close relatives, various twisted perversions often appear."

"This makes them highly favored by the 【Chaos Gods】."

"Powerful bodies, twisted souls, perverted temperaments... they are simply born to be the divine choices and devotees needed by the Chaos Gods."

"In fact, the probability of Chaos divine choices, and even great demons, appearing within the Long Chao royal family is very high, which is why for so many years, this royal family has always held onto this powerful interstellar empire and never let go of its authority."

"Every time a 'new emperor is born,' the Chaos Gods descend on Long Chao Star to enjoy and compete wantonly until the dust settles."

"Mad King Ilya is the most twisted and terrifying perverted royal in the clan."

"He possesses an extremely handsome, almost demonic appearance, combat techniques that even the Blood God admires, and various disgusting hobbies, including but not limited to self-abuse, dismemberment, cannibalism, necrophilia, etc., and even these horrific quirks are just child's play for him."

"It is precisely because of his extreme pursuit of senses and desires that he obtained the ultimate favor of the 【Evil God】."

"Strongly investing a large amount of favor and blessings, Ilya defeated everyone in the great battle for the new emperor within the royal family, and tortured every one of them, regardless of gender, in an inhumane way..."

"One must know that among the competitors were his own younger sister and older brother."

"It was because of this battle that he obtained the title of Mad King."

"Afterward, he even obtained the promise of the Evil God: he would enjoy the Evil God's blessings forever and have the opportunity to ascend to become His subsidiary god."

"In short, an enhanced version of the Child of Taboo?"
