Chapter 673: All Good News
Chapter 673: All Good News
Within the eerie space shrouded in mist, a sinister table constructed from bones, diverse shadowy figures of varying sizes, and numerous attendees wearing masks...
"Everyone who could make it is here."
In a gathering spot that perfectly fit the traditional villainous style, a humanoid shadow sitting at the head of the long table surveyed the attendees before forcefully clapping his hands and announcing in a loud voice:
"Ladies and gentlemen, the purpose of this meeting is to inform you of three pieces of news."
Upon hearing the words of the man in the white serpent mask, the Slaughter King Guild members who were conversing with each other immediately fell silent, their gazes turning towards him.
"The first piece of news is that Aquarius's plan has succeeded."
With the first words out of his mouth, a bombshell was dropped, leaving the Slaughter King Guild members in an uproar. The man in the white serpent mask smiled and said, "He has replaced the Taurus Director and become the current Overseer of the Watchtower Palace. According to the agreement between us and him, any advance warnings about us will be blocked by him and will not reach the hands of the Purification Bureau. Even if he can't block them all, he will try to delay them as much as possible."
So, the most troublesome early warning capability of the Watchtower Palace has been sealed off?!
Upon hearing this, the members of the Slaughter King Guild couldn't help but feel overjoyed.
In their past actions, the most troublesome and dangerous opponent was the Watchtower Palace's 'surveillance,' which was impossible to avoid. Once a disaster reached a certain level, the Watchtower Palace would send the message directly to the Purification Bureau more than half a year in advance.
Sometimes, even before the Slaughter King Guild members had taken action or even finished discussing their plans, the Purification Bureau would already be fully prepared, just waiting for the right time to spring their trap. Taking action under such circumstances was almost like walking into a death trap.
Now that Aquarius has become the Overseer, without the Watchtower Palace's future warnings, the Purification Bureau, no matter how strong they are, will not be able to defend as comprehensively as before. Finally, the opportunity for the Slaughter King Guild has arrived!
"Ladies and gentlemen, please calm down!"
After the excited members of the Slaughter King Guild whispered among themselves for a while, the man in the white serpent mask, who was presiding over the meeting, clapped his hands again and smiled, "In addition to the matter of the Watchtower Palace, there's another piece of good news to share today... Due to Aquarius's previous attack, the Purification Bureau has been greatly distracted, and our operations in the Northern Kingdom, the Sorceress Kingdom, and the Thousand Sails Kingdom have made excellent progress.
Especially in the Northern Kingdom, due to the transfer of the Aquarius Division's Commissioner, the Purification Bureau's protection of Hot River City has become lax. Even if we do nothing, within just one month, the entire Hot River City will self-destruct!"
Could it be this smooth?!
After hearing this, the members of the Slaughter King Guild were almost boiling with excitement. Even though everyone wore masks, the intense exhilaration could not be contained and radiated from each individual.
While the impact of this news was slightly less shocking than the 'blockade' of the Watchtower Palace, it was still a once-in-a-millennium opportunity.
According to the current situation, if these three royal bloodlines... No! If just two more royal bloodlines are severed, the effectiveness of the Watchtower Palace will be greatly weakened, and True Gods will be able to freely enter the mortal realm! The most challenging step in breaking through the 'dam' is to create the first breach. Once a large number of True Gods can descend, with the current state of the Purification Bureau, the remaining royal bloodlines will eventually be cut off one by one.
As time went on, the Watchtower Palace would inevitably regress, reverting to its original state, while the successive generations of the Purification Bureau would face constant setbacks, eventually leading to a complete loss of control!
"Alright."
After allowing the members of the Slaughter King Guild to exchange words in a chaotic manner for a while, the man in the white serpent mask finally spoke up to stop them. With a serious expression, he said, "Even though it's not the best time, I must inform you that the last piece of news today is undoubtedly bad news... Do you remember that cleanser named Leon Ryan?"
Leon Ryan?
Hearing the man in the white serpent mask, the woman sitting to his left, wearing a black cat mask, couldn't help but react slightly. She furrowed her brows and asked, "The cleanser who incited the black owl to destroy the Coroc Kingdom and framed us for it? Has he done something recently?"
"It's not about what he's done, but rather, he's grown too quickly."
After glancing at the woman in the black cat mask, the man in the white serpent mask spoke, "This time, the Magpie and the Aquarius went down together and had a confrontation with Leon. Using some unknown method, Leon forcefully took the power that should have belonged to the Nightmare King. He almost killed the Magpie."
"I wasn't almost killed..."
A faint, hoarse voice sounded from the woman in the black cat mask's diagonal.
The Magpie-masked man, who had remained silent since the gathering began and was the only one not participating in the revelry, couldn't help but raise his hand. With a face full of emotion, he added, "I was almost eaten by him! That Leon... let me tell you, he tried to swallow me whole! If it weren't for Aquarius pulling me back, I would have been devoured alive!"
"..."
Devouring a True God... Are cleansers this crazy nowadays?
As he watched his body tremble involuntarily, the Magpie, clearly shaken to his core, finally calmed down. One of the members of the Slaughter King Guild cautiously asked, "So... is he the next Crab Director? From your description, it seems like he wanted to use Crab Secret Art to swallow you and send you to his Belly Deity Prison."
"No! Absolutely not!"
Hearing this, the Magpie-masked man shook his head, his face filled with lingering fear. "I didn't sense any secret art... That person just wanted to eat me!
I can't explain the feeling he gave me... it's like I was a piece of passing meat, and he was a starving watchdog, eating me as if it were the most natural thing in the world!"
As he spoke, the Magpie-masked man shuddered, recalling the horrific scene. His eyes widened in terror as he continued, "You don't understand, the expression on that man's face... he didn't see me as a god, nor did he look at me with fear, hatred, or any other emotion.
In his eyes, I was nothing but a piece of meat, born to be devoured by him. He didn't hesitate for a moment; he just grabbed me and shoved me into his mouth without a second thought! And after swallowing me..."
"..."
