Chapter 1042: A Failed Telefraud and Aon Church's Declaration of War
"Did you hear what I just said?"
Scorpio Director, still dazed by Leon's excitement, hesitated for a moment before he couldn't help but emphasize again:
"Abyss has likely already allied with Slayer King Guild. When Virgo and I return with Lifespan, we will not only have to face Slayer King Guild and its two Supreme Pillars but also the seven Original Sin Demons from the Abyssal Hundred Hells!
If the present world can't provide support, even with Capricorn guarding Heaven's Mountain, we only have four directors. We'll be facing nine enemies who are stronger than ordinary Pillar Deities. On average, each of us will have to take on two Pillar Deities! Four against nine! We are four!"
"That's not quite right. It should be eleven against two, and we are eleven."
Leon corrected Scorpio Director and explained:
"The purpose of my descent into Abyss was to deal with these Original Sin Demons. So far, things are going smoothly. I've already taken down five Original Sin Demons. Once I find out the whereabouts of the remaining two Demon Gods, I'll capture them as well.
When I control the Sloth Demon and the Gluttony Demon God, we will have four directors plus seven Original Sin Demons, all working together to overwhelm Slayer King Guild's Azure King and Crimson King. Eleven against two."
"..."
"..."
"..."
"Sir Scorpio?"
After waiting for a while and hearing no response, Leon couldn't help but ask:
"Are you still there? Why aren't you saying anything?"
Why aren't I saying anything... What do you want me to say? Applaud and cheer for your joke?
Faced with Leon's claim of having the upper hand, Scorpio Director couldn't help but hiss and then said with difficulty:
"Are you really the new Aquarius Director?"
"Yes."
"Then... are you sure everything you just said is true? You're not joking with me?"
"I'm telling the truth..."
Seeing that Scorpio Director seemed to doubt his words, Leon organized his thoughts and explained:
"Sir Scorpio, you haven't been back in the present world for a long time, so you're not familiar with the current situation. Although the bureau lost many people this year, we managed to conquer the Dead Realm and turned it into the Netherworld Branch. Cleaners can now be resurrected, and we've captured and killed a batch of True Gods from Slayer King Guild. The rest..."
After giving a brief overview of recent events, and in the dead silence from Scorpio Director, Leon continued sincerely:
"I know this might sound unbelievable, but I have indeed mostly stabilized the situation in Abyss. You and Director Virgo can rest assured..."
"How can I rest assured?!!!!"
Bombed by one shocking piece of news after another, Scorpio Director finally couldn't hold back and roared:
"When the director contacted you at the end of last year, didn't he say that the previous Aquarius was suspected of betraying us and that the situation in the present world was not optimistic? This change is too fast! In less than a year, you've accomplished so much?
Suppressing Earth Progeny, killing all the rulers of the Dead Realm, reviving the East Carlisle Kingdom, infiltrating the Origin Deity Platform, and wiping out Slayer King Guild... This... You can't just make up lies without any logic! Do you think I'm stupid?"
"..."
I knew it...
Faced with Scorpio Director's angry outburst, Leon said helplessly:
"Calm down and listen to my explanation..."
"What's there to explain?"
Feeling like he was being played for a fool, Scorpio Director couldn't help but shout:
"According to what you said, unless you, the newly appointed Aquarius Director, are a once-in-a-millennium genius like the third director, capable of single-handedly beating a hundred True Gods, it's impossible to achieve what you described! Any other explanation is just nonsense!"
"..."
"Why aren't you saying anything? What's your explanation?"
"You've already given my explanation..."
"???"
"Everything you just said is my explanation. I really did it that way..."
"..."
"..."
"Ha ha."
Faced with Leon's direct acceptance of his ridicule as an explanation, Scorpio Director couldn't help but laugh out of frustration, muttering a few curses before coldly demanding:
"Speak! Who are you? Why do you have the stardust I collected? What happened to Jeanne and the others?"
"Perhaps we could do it this way..."
Noticing that this Scorpio Director, whom he had never met before, seemed to be someone who liked to get stuck on details, Leon couldn't help but say helplessly:
"Those Original Sin Demons are right here with me. Should I call them over to talk to you?"
"What should they say? Stardust Language is one-way communication! Even if the Original Sin Demons really spoke, I wouldn't hear a thing! You call yourself a Director, and you don't even know this?"
"I’ve only been a Director for a short time, and I’ve been on missions all the time..."
"Ha ha."
F*ck you, ha ha.
Feeling a bit annoyed by the Director's attitude, Leon cursed him silently in his heart before frowning and saying:
"Then, how about you tell me what I need to do to prove that what I’m saying is true?"
"You..."
Scorpio Director was momentarily at a loss for words. After a moment of contemplation, he seemed to have an idea and suddenly raised his voice:
"You said you’ve already subdued five of the Great Original Sin Demon Gods, and you’ll soon capture the remaining two, right?"
"Right."
"Then that’s simple."
Scorpio Director continued:
"Virgo Director and I will be at Heaven's Mountain soon. The Heavenly Cicada of All Things and the Crimson Sovereign are chasing us. If you can hold them off with the Original Sin Demons, I’ll believe everything you’ve said."
"That... I’m afraid it won’t work."
Leon frowned:
"I plan to use the alliance between the Original Sin Demons and the Slayer King Guild to get close to the Heavenly Cicada of All Things and the Crimson Sovereign, and then sneak attack them to take out one of them. If I openly oppose them, this good opportunity will be wasted."
"Ha ha."
Faced with Leon’s refusal, Scorpio Director couldn’t help but sneer:
"Then there’s nothing more to say. I wish your plan success!"
"..."
"Don’t worry, we can agree on a secret signal. We can use it to verify each other when the time comes."
"..."
"Or, when you find Capricorn Director at Heaven's Mountain, you can ask him about the current situation. See if the current Aquarius Director is named Leon."
"..."
"Are you there?"
"..."
"..."
After a few more attempts at communication, Leon found that Scorpio Director had simply muted his microphone and ignored him. Feeling frustrated because his excellent performance had made him seem like a fraud, Leon reluctantly ended the call with a dark expression.
This guy... his mind is too rigid. Communicating with someone like him is truly a hassle... Wait, what’s up with Black Goat?
Feeling a strong sense of fear from Black Goat’s soul, Leon re-established communication with it and looked out through Black Goat’s senses.
"Get out!"
With a deafening roar, a large chunk of the Decay Tree above the Original Sin Demons, like a moon being devoured by a celestial dog, suddenly vanished.
When "Black Goat" raised its head with a frown, a pungent odor, accompanied by the deafening buzz of a million wings, descended from the pink canopy of the Decay Tree, making Leon instinctively cover his nose.
So foul... it smells even worse than Amien's Fecal Sea Potion! What the hell is this?
'You finally came out!!!'
Losing control of its body, Black Goat couldn’t help but weep in relief, its words somewhat incoherent:
'Gluttony Demon God! Gluttony Demon God is here!'
As if to corroborate Black Goat’s words, a series of angry roars echoed from above the Decay Tree.
"Don’t hide in there, I know you’re all there!"
"You damned bastards, you actually cut off my tongue!"
"Get out here! Today, I’ll show you who the strongest Demon God in the Abyssal Hundred Hells is!"
With each roar from the Gluttony Demon God, a piece of the Decay Tree above the Demon Gods was bitten off. By the time the last roar faded, the deafening buzz of the wings had reached just above their heads, about to break through.
"I’m almost done for."
Lust Demon God glanced up at the mangled Decay Tree with a pained expression, then looked at Black Goat with a cold gaze:
"Goat, the five of us can’t leave our seats. You’d better call out the main one, or else..."
"Separate the tree."
"?"
Hearing "Black Goat’s" request, Lust Demon God was momentarily taken aback, but quickly understood. Without another word, she curled her tongue and whistled up to the Decay Tree, which was struggling to hold on.
Whizz!
Upon receiving the command from the Lust Demon God, the already heavily burdened Decay Tree instantly parted to the sides, as if granted a reprieve, revealing the sky above.
As the Decay Tree retreated, a mass of foul-smelling, yellowish-brown smoke descended, completely enveloping the area where the Demon Gods stood.
Then, a bright yellow fly, as large as a calf, emerged from the cloud of stench, its three pairs of giant wings, bristling with long mouthparts, buzzing furiously. It then, with a fierce demeanor, retreated a considerable distance upward.
"Listen up!"
Extending its tarsi, covered in bristles and suction cups, the Gluttony Demon God carefully adjusted the seat on its back before roaring down at the others with a menacing tone:
"You filthy shits, not even a hint of loyalty after all these years, you dare to gang up and sneak attack me... I'm done being a Demon God!"
"..."
Amid the bewildered gazes of Leon and the original sin demons, the Gluttony Demon God continued to retreat while shouting from a distance:
"I'm here to deliver a declaration of war! I've abandoned my identity as an original sin demon and joined the Aon Church, where the Pope has appointed me as the Chief Mount of the Lord!
Listen up, you damned heretics! The Aon Church is gathering forces and will soon invade the Abyssal Hundred Hells to exterminate every last one of you bastards!"
"..."
"Also, don't even think about capturing me! If I hadn't been so careless and unprepared for your sneak attack, you worthless scum wouldn't have been able to touch a single hair on my head!"
"..."
"I'm out of here! Ahaha!"
"..."
Aon Church? Chief Mount of the Lord? What the hell is this? The way it's delivering its threats while retreating, acting tough but clearly scared... Is the Gluttony Demon God related to the Black Goat?
Watching the Gluttony Demon God flee in a panic, Leon blinked, feeling a bit overwhelmed.
The Lust Demon God, understanding what had transpired, blinked her watery eyes and spoke in a seductive tone:
"Lord Demon God, you've just returned to the Abyss, so you don't know about Heaven's Mountain, do you?"
Heaven's Mountain?
Leon's eyebrows arched in surprise, and he turned to look at her, his eyes filled with confusion. Seeing his reaction, the Lust Demon God giggled and said in a flirtatious voice:
"This Meat Goat isn't your true form, is it? It's just a puppet you chose, right?
Lord Demon God, I wasn't part of the group that sneak attacked you. I've always been loyal to you. If you really need a puppet, why not..."
"Get to the point!"
"..."
"And stop that, it's disgusting."
"Y-Yes..."
Seeing the disdain in Leon's eyes, the Lust Demon God's expression stiffened slightly, muttering to herself that he must be another one without any balls, before reluctantly explaining:
"Here's the situation. The God of Food from the Clean-up Bureau seems to have established a strange church on Heaven's Mountain and created some bizarre Purple-Skinned Angels. These angels have been causing trouble lately...
To deal with them, we captured Beelzebub a few days ago and cut out its tongue, which was full of the sin of gluttony. It seems to share the same 'faith' and has allied with the Demons in the Abyss who worship the God of Food and those Purple-Skinned Angels, planning to attack us."
"..."
What the hell is going on here?
After listening to the Lust Demon God's explanation, Leon couldn't help but raise his hand, pointing at his nose, eyes wide with shock:
"Those Purple-Skinned Angels worship me? The Gluttony Demon God wants to be my mount? Why hasn't anyone told me about this?"
"..."
(O_o)?!!! x5
...
As Leon and the original sin demons began to "reconcile" the situation, trying to figure out what went wrong, Capricorn, who was standing guard for the "Pope" with the other Yellow Path Bureau directors, rubbed his eyes in confusion as he watched the star patterns above Heaven's Mountain shift, revealing a wide "path."
Is someone from the Bureau coming through the Star Gate to Heaven's Mountain? Why hasn't anyone told me about this?
