Chapter 646: So You Were Setting a Trap for Me Here!

Next up to take action were Seeing Ange, the Serpent of Misfortune, the Goddess of Life, the Golden Titan, Shamala (Seraphim Luna), the False Harvest Goddess (Lisa), the God of Swindling Merchants, the Witch, the Great Sage, Flash Feti, Lumbar Disc Harvey... and also Jian Gu Bonehard Bonehard Luoke (Lord of Annihilation), who had come from afar to provide support.

Facing such a lineup in the void, the fate of the Chaos Spirit needed no explanation; the scene was too gruesome, and I refuse (can't be bothered) to write it out...

Time drifted along like that, and more than half a year passed.

"Luo Luoka, from now on this will be your home. We've used waterproof silk membranes to divide it into many pure cavities, each one filled with pure water. If one gets polluted, you can immediately move to a new cavity. Are you satisfied with this?" Nai Ge Li Si said, a smile of a child-abductor on his face.

But the 'child' being abducted went willingly. In a clean crystal bottle, the ball-of-water Luo Luoka poked a head out from the bottle's mouth and nodded impatiently.

Pure Water Element +1. Nai Ge Li Si's face bloomed into a grin as he said to Luo Luoka: "Go on. Once you coordinate with Tom, you can pull the entire Conch along, and from now on we can move through the void."

Luo Luoka nodded excitedly: "I've become pure!"

Then with a 'po' sound, the water ball in the crystal bottle suddenly collapsed, losing its tension and sinking back to the bottom of the bottle, while Luo Luoka's consciousness had already transferred to the purified water in the conch shell's cavity.

The once Jian Gu Bonehard Bonehard Luoke, now the Lord of Annihilation, watched all this with some helplessness, and only after Luo Luoka left did he sigh: "You've abducted our Luo Luoka. From now on, the circulating water for the Star Burst Formation won't be easy to handle."

Luo Luoka was prone to depression; the moment it touched anything dirty it would shut down, so it wasn't well-known among the Conclave of Mages, but in fact it was the most important of the twelve members of the Conclave. Without it, the entire Star Burst Formation would be uninhabitable.

The circulating water system relied entirely on Luo Luoka to maintain it; otherwise it simply couldn't support the daily water needs of several hundred thousand people.

Nai Ge Li Si couldn't care less about that, and even put his hands on his hips, righteously lecturing: "You have the nerve to say that, you ungrateful dead bones. Luo Luoka is so afraid of dirty things, and you still made it handle the circulating water? I abducted it to save it from hell. Pushing a conch shell with us is far better than dealing with dirty water."

"Sigh." Jian Gu Bonehard Bonehard Luoke sighed. It was precisely because of this that he hadn't stopped it, and was actually glad to see it happen. His complaints only began after Luo Luoka had left.

"Stop sighing. You think I don't know? You bought a pile of silk cloth from Lisa to make filter membranes, and combined with some sedimentation pools and water elements, you can complete the water cycle. If it really doesn't work, just reincarnate everyone into undead creatures." Nai Ge Li Si said.

His old tricks exposed, Jian Gu Bonehard Bonehard Luoke's old face reddened, and he played the rogue: "No way. You abducted my Luo Luoka, so you have to find a way to compensate me."

That was Jian Gu Bonehard Bonehard Luoke's real purpose.

But Nai Ge Li Si changed the subject: "I'm really not used to you being like this. Where did that old Jian Gu Bonehard Bonehard Luoke who only ever used his fists and never his mouth go? How come you've now learned to make capital out of every little thing?"

Jian Gu Bonehard Bonehard Luoke's old face reddened again. To tell the truth, he wasn't used to it either. In front of outsiders it didn't matter—strangers didn't know the old him—but now, in front of old familiar dragons, this change embarrassed even himself.

"Can't be helped." Jian Gu Bonehard Bonehard Luoke said helplessly: "Your Majesty tossed a pile of things down and walked away. If I only used my fists, all this stuff would have been gone long ago."

Fighting was easy, managing a household was hard. Jian Gu Bonehard Bonehard Luoke, who had never had any experience in this area, was thrown in at the deep end, learning as he went. To have maintained things to this state was already quite impressive.

The bitterness could be felt from Jian Gu Bonehard Bonehard Luoke's tone. Nai Ge Li Si said sympathetically: "Too pitiful. We met Lisa, Anthony, Silver Coin and other management talents early on, so we can't appreciate your bitterness. Sorry about that."

Jian Gu Bonehard Bonehard Luoke narrowed his eyes: "You really know how to get on my nerves with your words now. Don't let me catch a chance to throw a sack over you and beat you up."

Sensing something, Seeing Ange, who was planting things in the distance, straightened his back.

Jian Gu Bonehard Bonehard Luoke quickly piled on a smile: "Just chatting, chatting with an old friend."

Seeing nothing seemed amiss, Seeing Ange bent back down and resumed planting.

Jian Gu Bonehard Bonehard Luoke let out a breath and asked quietly: "Is Seeing Ange really the vegetable-planting skeleton from the old farm?"

"Of course. If he weren't a vegetable-planting skeleton, would he be this obsessed with planting things?" Nai Ge Li Si said.

"But didn't he just inherit Your Majesty's Undead Divine Spark? It's just one divine spark—why is it so 'fierce'?" Jian Gu Bonehard Bonehard Luoke couldn't understand. The 'fierce' he meant here was 'oppressively intimidating.'

Jian Gu Bonehard Bonehard Luoke had personally beaten up more gods than he could count, like the God of Knowledge standing right in front of him, so he didn't really put gods in high regard. The Lord of the Dead was an existence comparable to a deity.

But the pressure Seeing Ange gave him was too great, almost like facing Your Majesty. Clearly this skeleton only cared about planting vegetables and normally didn't pay much attention to people—why was his aura so fierce?

"Heh heh, he only inherited one Undead Divine Spark, but he lit up several divine sparks on his own, and even lit a second Undead Divine Spark. He's a multi-aspect super-god. You'll get used to it." Nai Ge Li Si said proudly, hands on hips, looking every inch a dragon throwing his weight around behind a god.

"Then can you ask Seeing Ange to give my bones back to me?" Jian Gu Bonehard Bonehard Luoke asked.

Nai Ge Li Si asked, puzzled: "Don't you already have Giant Hand Baru's skeleton? Why do you still need your own bones?"

"Heh heh, my bones are harder." Jian Gu Bonehard Bonehard Luoke said peevishly. How could Baru's bones compare to his old bones? Though both were of the Dead, an old Dead's bones were far harder than a new Dead's.

"No no no, you've been gone so long, your bones already suffered bone-density loss, weathered and crumbled, so we burned them." Nai Ge Li Si spouted nonsense without a second thought.

Realizing Nai Ge Li Si was determined not to return his bones, Jian Gu Bonehard Bonehard Luoke turned and said: "Then can Your Majesty's skeleton be handed over to me?"

"Hand it over to you? Where would you take it?" Nai Ge Li Si asked curiously.

"Nowhere. Hand it to me to guard." Jian Gu Bonehard Bonehard Luoke said.

"Uh, I wasn't stopping you. If you want to guard it, go ahead. The Witch has been guarding it there all along. As long as you don't move the skeleton away, that's fine." Nai Ge Li Si said.

"You agree?" Jian Gu Bonehard Bonehard Luoke asked, pleasantly surprised.

Nai Ge Li Si said, baffled: "If you want to go guard the Old Undead, what's there for me to disagree about? Just don't get in our way."

"That's great, then I can rest assured and hand all of this over to you. Thank you, God of Knowledge. From now on the Conclave of Mages is yours. I'm off to guard Your Majesty." Jian Gu Bonehard Bonehard Luoke dumped a whole bunch of badges, keys, prohibition permissions and so on into Nai Ge Li Si's arms, then without looking back darted toward the teleportation array, and with a whoosh teleported away.

Nai Ge Li Si was dumbfounded, holding that pile of things at a loss: "What do you mean? You go guard the Old Undead and dump all this on me? You don't want the Conclave of Mages anymore? Kuabada, so you were setting a trap for me here?!"
