Chapter 742: The Flame of the Heart Lake
Chapter 742: The Flame of the Heart Lake
Has it begun?
Snow Miser, on his way to the core, felt the countless raging Heart Lakes through his own abilities and couldn't help but chuckle in satisfaction, his worries completely lifted.
Although the Food God of the Purification Bureau seemed a bit eerie, even after being sprayed by the tranquil bloodline, he could still force himself to act, which had startled Snow Miser.
But as the master of illusions and the god of the Heart Lake, he was far different from the fools he had encountered in the past.
Those foolish and arrogant so-called true gods merely used their abilities crudely. Their crude and monotonous methods were like using a bomb to hit someone with its shell, completely wasting their true strengths and putting themselves in danger.
The fools treated the true god's abilities as weapons, and their actions of fighting the purifiers of the Purification Bureau face-to-face were utterly foolish. If their abilities didn't work and were resisted or countered by the Food God, they could only suffer a crushing defeat.
The proper use of a true god's abilities should be like Snow Miser's, where they didn't even need to show their faces. They could rely on the unparalleled influence of their true god abilities to affect their opponents from a distance where they couldn't retaliate... just like now.
Feeling the raging Heart Lakes in Hot River City above, and the immense power flowing towards him through those turbulent lakes, Snow Miser closed his eyes in great pleasure.
...
Human emotions were truly a useful tool.
With just a little contact and some shallow words of provocation, they could ignite a raging fire in their Heart Lakes, burning away their rationality and thoughts.
Before entering the Underground Hot River, Snow Miser, along with Raven, had wandered through the black and white city, coming into contact with at least several hundred lives, leaving behind seeds of illusion in their Heart Lakes.
Those seeded lives, as long as they couldn't maintain the calm of their souls, would be invaded by Snow Miser's seeds, taking root in their Heart Lakes. From then on, whether they were happy or sad, laughing or angry, all their turbulent emotions would become nourishment for the seeds to grow.
When Snow Miser's seeds, nourished by the Heart Lakes, began to 'sprout and branch out,' the illusory world he wanted them to see would gradually replace the original reality, becoming the only indisputable truth.
Once the illusion succeeded in replacing reality, the false world they saw would further stir up their Heart Lakes, igniting the flames of their emotions with the crimson flames of the seeds, refining these lowly and ignorant lives into refined playthings loyal only to Snow Miser.
And as these playthings were purified, the flames in their Heart Lakes would become new 'seeds,' spreading to more souls through physical contact and emotional influence, rapidly multiplying and spreading the raging fire.
Hundreds, thousands, tens of thousands, and hundreds of thousands! Snow Miser, feeling the flames of the Heart Lakes dancing in the hearts of tens of thousands, and the number rapidly approaching a million, couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief as his abilities were showcased. He then turned to look back at the path he had taken.
It's almost here! It's almost time!
As the largest city in the Northern Kingdom and the entire northern region of the continent, Hot River City had a permanent population of over 1.6 million.
In this season of raging blizzards, where travel is difficult, the city of Hetian is home to nearly twenty million humans. Adding the numerous beasts, insects, and birds, as well as the adjacent Hexagonal Snow Mountain, the total number of living beings on the ground at this moment is likely to approach a hundred million!
As long as he could plant his own seeds in the hearts of these hundreds of millions of beings... No! Even if he could only do so in half of them, and replace their reality with the illusions he created, his power would take a leap forward, gaining enough strength to confront the Yellow Dao Bureau Director head-on, or even defeat him!
With the current spread of his seeds, as long as he waited less than a day, he would achieve this goal.
Moreover, the only one capable of stopping this was the Aquarius Bureau Chief, who was currently chasing after him, unaware of what was happening on the ground. Others were powerless to stop it, and his success was only a matter of time.
As for that strange Food God, no matter how special he was, in the face of overwhelming power, he was simply not enough... Well... it's hard to say.
Recalling the encounters between Lyon and the Carnage King Society, as well as the other members of the society who had mysteriously fallen to him, the confident Snow Miser's expression froze.
According to his understanding, apart from the Aquarius Director's "victory" over the Food God and successfully replacing the Bull Director in the Purification Bureau, there seemed to be no one else who could have the last laugh in front of Lyon.
Not only did Lyon effortlessly thwart several high-stakes operations, but he also turned the Snow Owl and Black Owl siblings against their own society. Even Raven almost lost his life to him, and now the mere mention of Lyon's name sent shivers down his spine.
So... it was still necessary to be cautious. Even if he couldn't eliminate Lyon directly, he had to come up with a way to restrict his actions and prevent this troublesome fellow from ruining his plans.
Recalling his brief encounter with Lyon, Snow Miser's relaxed brows furrowed slightly. He stopped in his tracks and turned to observe the location of the massive Heart Lake that had leaked out behind him.
The Aquarius Division Chief of the Purification Bureau, after having his Heart Lake pierced by Snow Miser's illusion, quickly regained his composure and closed off his senses, exempting himself from the illusion's intrusion. However, this also meant losing three of his five senses.
At this moment, he was chasing after Raven, being led astray by that idiot. It would take some time before he could catch up, which was just enough to give Snow Miser some time for his "operation."
Finding a relatively stable gap, Snow Miser briefly detached himself from the underground Magma Channel leading to the Core. He closed his eyes and sensed the countless chaotic Heart Lakes above. Soon, he found a cluster of raging flames near Lyon's calm and peaceful Heart Lake.
You're the one!
...
"Hiss..."
It was so cold! Even with the First-Level Purifier's body, which had a hint of immunity to the elements, Lyon, who was outside the Aquarius Division's door, brushing off the melting snow from his collar, couldn't help but shiver.
"Uncle Hop!"
Unlike Lyon, who managed to maintain his composure, the female purifier was filled with worry. She rushed into a sturdy felt tent set up under a black stone beam, her head covered in melting snow.
"Quick! Call everyone! Something big is about to happen!"
