Chapter 1000: Is That Right?

"Ah... I know you're powerful, but isn't this a bit too much?"

After listening to Lyon's explanation of the cause and effect, the red-haired Bureau Chief, who had come with the determination to face death, felt her mind go blank for a moment, almost losing her ability to speak.

Gazing at the mountain of god corpses piled on the source tablet and the "survivors" tied to Lyon, the usually lively and delicate features of the red-haired Bureau Chief rarely showed a peculiar expression of stupor.

After a rather long silence, she couldn't help but reach out and pinch Lyon's thigh.

"Why are you pinching me?"

Lyon, who was explaining the situation, frowned when pinched for no reason. She grabbed the hand that was about to pinch her again and said with a hint of annoyance, "If you want to know if this is a dream, you should pinch yourself. Pinching me won't hurt you."

"It's not that... I can still tell the difference between a dream and reality."

Her eyes, with their slightly fixed gaze, stared at Lyon's face repeatedly until Lyon glared back at her. Only then did the red-haired Bureau Chief calm down, and she spoke with awe in her eyes, "I just have some doubts about your race... You actually advanced to the Two Hundred and Fifty Steps on the Ascent to Divinity... Lyon, are you really human? Not some mysterious race born with the ability to master authority?"

"..."

Damn... In a sense, that's not wrong at all. Is this what women's intuition is like?

After hearing the red-haired Bureau Chief's question, Lyon's lips twitched, and she couldn't help but think of her brother William back home. She then complained with a black line across her face, "What nonsense are you talking about? If there were such a strange race, wouldn't they have taken over the world long ago?

And if we're talking about being born with authority, the descendant leaders of the Ten Descendants of Datang directly reach the same level as a Pillar God when they come of age. Isn't that far more powerful than any mysterious race?"

"That's true..."

After nodding in agreement with Lyon's statement, the red-haired Bureau Chief looked at the surviving true deities who dared not speak, and sighed, "But compared to the Ten Descendants of Datang, you're still more terrifying... Although there are no Pillar Gods here, over a hundred true deities besieged you, and not a single one escaped. I still can't believe it even now."

"It's not as formidable as you think."

Following the red-haired Bureau Chief's gaze, Lyon turned to look behind her. The true deities, frightened, took a few steps back. Lyon explained, "The reason these true deities lost to me was mainly because they first entered my authority range and had already developed a fear of me beforehand.

When you fear someone who has mastered the power of fear, it's like a dead person challenging the ruler of the deadly realm in the deepest part of the dead realm. It's basically impossible to win no matter how you fight."

"That's still outrageous."

The red-haired Bureau Chief shook her head. "Over a hundred people against you, and they have such intense fear of you... Hmm... Could they be the true deities who were released after the incident in the Shamaness Country?"

"Yes."

Seeing that the red-haired Bureau Chief had grasped the crucial point through casual conversation, Lyon's face broke into a smile. She nodded in acknowledgment, "If we're just talking about the strength of Lyon's value, my level compared to most of these true deities is actually quite similar, and there isn't a huge gap. Logically, they shouldn't be that difficult to deal with.

But among them are quite a few true deities who were killed by me once in the Shamaness Country, and they carry my 【Death】 authority on their bodies..."

Along with the power of Fear, it has been empowering me from the very beginning.

When they started to flee, the Lake of Heart of every deity was thoroughly disrupted, and some even completely collapsed, becoming my captives. It was as if I was drawing strength from them to strike at themselves, so it didn't take much effort."

"No wonder..."

After nodding in realization, the Red-haired Bureau Chief relaxed her stance slightly. Then, looking at Lyon, who hadn't even scraped off a layer of oil, she blinked and added, "The Source God Platform only recognizes authority, and your power of fear is already extremely strong, almost reaching the level of a Pillar God. On top of that, with these little tricks... Hmm... You were deceiving them, right?

Let me guess, you intentionally put on a vicious appearance, and even though you were heavily injured, you remained calm and collected. You completely shattered the morale of these deities, and in the end, you took them down in one fell swoop, right?"

"Well... not entirely..."

"Right?"

"?"

After a moment of surprise, Lyon and the Red-haired Bureau Chief locked eyes. Lyon's eyebrows twitched slightly, and then he nodded in understanding.

"Yes, that's exactly what happened... But is there a need for this?"

After acknowledging the Bureau Chief's attempt to get him to admit to her version of the story, Lyon asked with a hint of confusion, "Lord Taurus and Lord Cancer are both very busy. The Bureau is basically run by me now, so it's impossible for anyone to investigate me. So, who am I trying to hide this from?"

"Then it depends on who you're guarding against~"

Looking at Lyon, who was still stubbornly holding on even though he was almost at his limit, the Red-haired Bureau Chief didn't get angry. Instead, a hint of appreciation flashed in her eyes. She smiled and said, "By the way, Lyon, before you returned to the present world from the Underworld Branch, the Third-generation Bureau Chief complained to Lord Taurus, demanding that you move the Bo Shi Hell away from the Sage Cemetery, or he would defect from the Cleanup Bureau and join the Extermination King's Assembly... What do you think about this?"

"..."

What do I think? I think you've guessed it right...

Facing the Red-haired Bureau Chief who directly pointed out his suspicions, Lyon couldn't help but feel helpless and said, "Was I that obvious?"

"It's passable. For those who aren't close to you, it's still barely believable."

Seeing that Lyon finally admitted to being cautious about the Third-generation Elder, the Red-haired Bureau Chief chuckled lightly. Then, she decided to be open and honest as well. With a playful smile, she said, "You're not the type to cause trouble. At least, most of the time, you're quite level-headed. So, even if you truly hated the Third-generation Lord for some reason, you wouldn't do something as extreme as opening the Bo Shi Hell right at his doorstep.

The only reason you would do such a thing is if you sensed a threat from the Third-generation Lord. So, you wanted to use a tactic that wouldn't completely break ties but would make him especially uncomfortable, to test his stance and bottom line.

Hmm... Although you often choose to strike hard or even fatally once you've decided to take action, you're still quite cautious when selecting your targets before taking action. You always try to make contact and explore your opponents first. This is also a little habit of yours when you're doing something."

"Tsk..."

"Alright, let's not talk about this for now."

Seeing Lyon's slightly displeased expression after his plan was guessed, the Red-haired Bureau Chief smiled and voluntarily changed the topic. With a hint of curiosity, she asked, "Lyon, do you not plan to become a deity?"
