Chapter 2412: The [Truth Society]'s Reminder

The black dragon head, disproportionate to the human body, fell to the ground, but the headless body didn't die. Wings grew from its back, and it flew rapidly toward the sky. After a whistle, the head of the headless body wriggled and regrew, and two other Ringed Shushi with dragon wings also appeared in the air, each holding that kind of peculiar detector.

"Edwards' Eye."

Xia De stood in the alley and blinked. The man who regrew his head had traces of modification on his cheeks, heart, and some internal organs, while the other two had traces of modification on their left and right arms, hearts, and lungs, respectively.

The Ringed Shushi with black dragon scales on his face was a Seventh-Tier, and the other two were both Eighth-Tier:

"The 【Dragon-Feast Sect】 really has plenty of manpower..."

He thought to himself, and the Eighth-Tier Shushi whose lungs and heart had been modified had already taken a deep breath to accumulate power. Spirit and elements were converted into energy in his lungs, and then he opened his mouth in the air and sprayed toward Xia De below.

"Roar!"

"Roar!"

Xia De, holding the 【Higgs Dragon Head Stone】, looked up and sprayed a beam of moonlight. The moonlight crushingly destroyed the dragon roar in the air, and then evaporated half of the Eighth-Tier Shushi's body.

The other two hurriedly scattered. Xia De didn't use the 【Higgs Dragon Head Stone】 to accumulate power again but took a step back, hiding into the mist under the blessing of illusion.

Dragon wings flapped, and the situation that was originally a siege suddenly changed. They scanned the surroundings back-to-back in the air, but under the cover of the abnormally thick fog, even the vision of an Eighth-Tier Shushi was considerably hindered.

"Careful!"

With a tight brow, the Eighth-Tier Shushi whose arms were covered in brass-colored scales pulled his companion, and then moonlight arrows pierced their wings, and they fell rapidly downward.

Xia De, two streets away, "Tsked," withdrew 【Star Trace】, turned into a cat, and jumped onto the roof.

When he returned to the alley, lightning shattered Xia De's phantom for the first time. The two hiding in the alley didn't have time to be surprised before *Boom—* Xia De punched through the wall of the alley and shattered the head of the Seventh-Tier Shushi with black dragon scales on his face again.

"Split up!"

The two fled to the left and right ends of the alley. Xia De, holding the "Dragon Scale Detector" he had just picked up, jumped over the outer wall of the alley, watching the detector point at himself on one side and the Eighth-Tier Shushi whose arms had been modified by the brass dragon on the other.

He gave up the idea of chasing both at the same time and followed the detector's instructions to chase forward.

So five minutes later, on the surface of the Taton River, the man with broken limbs and in a coma was thrown onto the shore by Xia De. Xia De, standing on the water, looked down at the brass dragon scale he had dug out from the other party's right arm.

【Yes, the real thing.】

"She" reminded him softly. This also belonged to the Hawthorne family, the last dragon scale not mastered by Xia De. So far, all seven dragon scales had come into Xia De's possession.

"But, why?"

He lowered his head in thought, then looked up at the lady walking on the water from the mist in the downstream direction of the Taton River:

"Miss Pawo, what exactly does the 【Dragon-Feast Sect】 want to do by deliberately sending this dragon scale to me?"

The lady with an unremarkable appearance had a large silver-white book floating beside her. She came from the thick mist, as if waiting specifically for Xia De:

"God-Caller, you are so smart, you must be able to figure it out yourself."

The current president of the 【Truth Society】 said with a smile and stopped at a perfect position on the river.

Xia De looked at her:

"The 【Dragon-Feast Sect】's initial plan was that if they could make that dragon egg the Chosen One, it would be better; the god would directly use that dragon egg to descend, occupying the Chosen One's power. If the sect failed to make that strange egg the Chosen One, they would facilitate the birth of other Chosen Ones, thereby letting that god swallow the Ancient God's power.

The Dragon-Feast Ritual Site is the final ritual venue. Giving me all the dragon scales just facilitated the timely appearance of the Chosen One there... It's just that it wouldn't work if the Chosen One didn't appear. According to past experience, solving the distortion of the world requires the power of the Chosen One."

"Didn't you figure it out very clearly?"

Miss Pawo clapped gently, the smile on her face unchanged:

"Then why don't you guess why I appeared here?"

"The 【Truth Society】 cooperates with those cultists, so you followed them while they 'sent' the dragon scale to me. Miss Pawo, you 【Truth Society】 people are really everywhere."

"We are just running on the front line of exploring truth. Whether it is the dragon vein inheritance technology of the 【Dragon-Feast Sect】 cooperating with the diviner of Green Island, or the knowledge of human form elementalization studied by the 【Light-Worshippers' Seminar】, these all have high value, especially the latter..."

Miss Pawo didn't know what she was thinking of, her voice was very light:

"The transmission speed of force generated by machines is not as fast as the propagation speed of light."

"But I shouldn't have the truth you are pursuing here, right?"

Xia De asked, and the lady smiled again:

"I'm just very curious how you will deal with this. The orthodox gods will not appear this time, and the god who is about to arrive is one of the strongest among the gods, even in the initial era, besides the Ancient Gods.

I am really curious, what method do you want to use? Are those unknowable-level relics that the orthodox churches are risking to activate? I think they will play with fire and burn themselves;

Or your wonderful labyrinth that fuses the Chosen Ones? But even if Balance, Death, Earth, and Space are all there, plus Light this time, the not-fully-grown Chosen Ones probably won't give you much more chance of winning."

She didn't know the harsh activation conditions of 【Labyrinth: Clock Tower Lovers】.

"Could it be those witches? Although the witches of this era cannot be compared with the past, does the 【Witch Council】 really have its own secret means to directly call upon the power of the Ancient Gods as rumored?"

She carefully observed Xia De's expression:

"None of them? It really surprises me more and more... I can't figure it out. Is the truth of the matter really falling into that 0.5% of 'others'?

Oh, God-Caller, you really always make me understand that mathematics cannot calculate all possibilities. Why don't we make a deal? You tell me your plan, satisfy my curiosity, and I will tell you a secret about the 【Dragon-Feast Sect】, and I guarantee I won't leak what you say."

Xia De smiled:

"Miss Pawo, do I look like a foolish idiot to you?"

The lady naturally shook her head:

"I naturally know you are very smart and very strong. Even though I have been promoted to the Ninth-Tier, I still don't want to get close to you. The probability of me being able to defeat you is less than 1%."

Her promotion speed was really fast enough.

"Then I won't joke with you. God-Caller, you know, I like numbers and probabilities, so when I bet, I often do some risk hedging. If you buy long, you must also buy short; if you bet on one side to win, you cannot forget to bet on the other side."

Xia De just looked at her:

"So?"

"The 【Whispering Chapter】 and the Chosen One are related to the future of the world. If a god-level existence is really allowed to touch the power of the Chosen One, I think the future will become very troublesome."

The smile on her face disappeared:

"Although we are partners, we don't really want the 【Dragon-Feast Sect】 to succeed. The orthodox churches can't be counted on, and I don't think the church is more useful than you. I have a piece of intelligence here, you judge whether to believe it or not:

Don't try to confront that god during the day. Its power is related to the Ancient God of Light. In the brightest situation of the day, unless the god you call is the Sun God, you have no chance of winning."

"Drag it to the night?"

"Or force the battlefield to become night, how to do it is your business. Night is your home field, this is weakening the opponent and strengthening you. If the church can find a relic that can convert day and night, such as 【Moon in Water】, it would be better; if they can't find it, it depends on your own ideas."

She waved at Xia De as a farewell:

"God-Caller, although your chance of winning this time is not high, I still hope you can win like before. After all, you are at least still a mortal.

Of course, if you lose, the 'world risk degree' will probably increase by about 270% within half a year. I look forward to seeing how you do it, God-Caller, I wish you luck. As for the next things, the 【Truth Society】 will not intervene. But one last small reminder, the Light-Worshippers' Seminar is probably also thinking about letting you both lose.

See you next time~"

She lifted the hem of her skirt and bowed to Xia De like a lady, then dissipated into a pool of water and disappeared into the mist. Probably even a lunatic wouldn't have thought that the method to deal with an evil god descending into a city is actually to call more evil gods.

【She has left, that one from the beginning was not the main body.】

Xia De, standing on the water, hummed, listened to the sound in his ear to confirm the current time, and then turned into a silver cat and left along the river.

Not long after, when Xia De rushed back to Belindell Manor, monstrous waves had already risen in the dock area.

When Luweiya pulled Xia De onto the ship, a wave hit just right, causing the entire "Radiant Messenger" to sway.

Miss Ilith controlled the ship from the captain's cabin, and it soon stabilized. When Xia De came to the deck, what he saw was that on the sea surface far away from the dock, three huge tornadoes that seemed to connect the sky and the sea were swaying in the mist like the tentacles of a deep-sea monster.

"The battle on the sea has begun."

Luweiya said in a deep voice, the situation was not very optimistic:

"A large number of cultists appeared riding dragons, and the church's fleet is fighting them head-on at sea. In addition to the monsters stained with dragon blood, at least five kinds of relics related to ships have appeared to help the 【Dragon-Feast Sect】. Miss Aurora took Miss Sylvia to support the mermaid girls, and they were also entangled by those monsters." **CHAPTER 2413**
