Chapter 746: Durant
Chapter 746: Durant
"I've more or less figured out what the Carnage King Society is planning to do in Hot River City."
After urging the female purifier to finish the bottle of Tranquil Saliva, Leon reached out and touched the black goat's horn, observing the agitated souls in the city. With a furrowed brow, he explained, "The member of the Carnage King Society on the airship, wearing the wolf-head mask, claims to be the god of Illusions and Heart Lake. Once emotions become too intense, he can shatter one's heart lake, leaving them susceptible to his control... You must have just experienced his influence."
After briefly explaining the situation, Leon glanced at the now-calm middle-aged man and continued, "If I'm not mistaken, before infiltrating the Underground River, the god of Illusions and Heart Lake likely left some sort of 'trigger' in Hot River City.
Right now, he's stimulating the heart lakes of all the city's residents, just as he did to you, causing their emotions to become unstable. By showcasing his powers, he's strengthening himself."
You guessed right~
Hearing Leon's words, the Snow Miser within the middle-aged man couldn't help but smile with a hint of pride.
Unfortunately, even if you've guessed my plan, it's too late to do anything. The only one capable of knocking out the entire population of Hot River City and calming their heart lakes is the Aquarius Director, who is currently not on the ground.
As for the young girl by your side, with her Tranquil bloodline, she does have the ability to suppress heart lakes. But she is still far from mature, and against the spreading 'Seed of the Valley,' she alone cannot protect the nearly billion lives within the city. So...
"Fortunately, I came prepared."
"?!?!"
Amidst Snow Miser's shocked gaze, Leon pulled out a basin and pointed at the slightly murky water inside. With a serious expression, he said, "You've already experienced the effects of Tranquil Saliva. Ordinary people without the Leon Value will become highly resistant to the Heart Lake God's influence with just a tiny bit of exposure.
Next, we can head to the Underground Hot River and pour this water into the river. Then, we'll detonate all the pipeline furnaces in the city. Once the hot water, mixed with Tranquil Saliva, flows through the city due to the furnace explosions, the Heart Lake God's abilities will..."
As Leon spoke, the middle-aged man, who had just been splashed with a few drops of Tranquil Saliva and stood motionless, suddenly lunged forward and plunged his head into the basin.
In less than a hundredth of a second, the man buried his face in the basin and drank all the water Leon had brought out, just like a thirsty man gulping water.
"You said this was your last batch, didn't you?"
After finishing the water, the middle-aged man—no, Snow Miser controlling Hop's body—met Leon's astonished gaze with a satisfied look.
"I admit, you are a troublesome opponent, coming up with such an ingenious plan. But unfortunately for you..."
"Oh, my apologies!"
Leon glanced down at the basin in his hand, a slight smile on his lips. He turned to the middle-aged man with a friendly expression and apologized, "I grabbed the wrong basin. This one isn't Tranquil Saliva; it's the water I used to wash with a few days ago... Well, I guess it could still be considered my last batch?"
"?!?!"
Seeing Leon's slightly mocking expression, the 'middle-aged man' instinctively smacked his lips. He then erupted in a mix of shock and anger, shouting, "You're toying with me?!
"Don't get the wrong idea, I'm in a real hurry and have no time for games."
Lyon pointed at the fur hat on the middle-aged man's head, transforming it into a black three-headed dog. After pinning down his soul, Lyon smiled and explained, "Your Heart Lake ability is incredibly convenient. The slightest emotional fluctuation, and you can infiltrate their minds. Moreover, since the vessel is an emotion, an intangible derivative of the soul, it's even difficult to detect any abnormalities during a soul inspection."
"If I were you, I wouldn't waste such a useful ability. I'd find a way to sneak into my enemy's heart, and even if I couldn't stab them, I'd at least eavesdrop on some valuable information."
At this point, Snow Miser couldn't help but widen his eyes.
"So... so you intentionally left him alive? You devoured all the other cleaners, leaving only him to narrow down the search?"
"Yes," Lyon nodded. "Since you've controlled Melis once, you might think I'm prepared, and you probably wouldn't choose her again. So, you'd likely infiltrate the Heart Lake of another cleaner. And by devouring the rest, I left you with no other choice."
"..."
I've been played...
Listening to the rapid panting of the three-headed black dog on his forehead and feeling the drops of saliva on his bald head, Snow Miser, controlling the middle-aged man, couldn't help but speak with a sullen expression.
"So, you brought out that basin of water to give me a reason to act, to test if I was in his Heart Lake?"
"Mhm."
However, aside from this, if I could make the Heart Lake God's heart lake surge, I might even obtain a related emblem... But unfortunately, the stimulation doesn't seem strong enough.
Glancing at the regretful Lyon, Snow Miser furrowed his brows and then spoke expressionlessly, "So, you don't actually have that much Tranquil Saliva?"
"Indeed, I don't," Lyon nodded, glancing at the female cleaner beside him who had gone brain-dead. "Melis may have drooled a lot during her deep sleep on the airship, but she's still human. No matter how much she drools, it won't amount to a whole basin, let alone after dilution and distribution throughout the city..."
Phew... that's a relief...
After hearing Lyon's words, Snow Miser, controlling the middle-aged man, couldn't help but feel relieved. However...
"But I plan to have Melis take a nice, long, hot bath in the Underground Hot River."
"What?!"
Seeing the middle-aged man's eyes widen in shock, Lyon smiled and said, "Although there isn't much Tranquil Saliva, with Melis' Tranquil bloodline, there will be an endless supply of Tranquil Bathwater."
Damn you, you're just toying with me!
Snow Miser glared at Lyon, then looked at the female cleaner beside him, her face turning red. He clenched his teeth and said, "Impossible! Her Tranquil bloodline is remarkable, but it's still far from a true deity! That diluted substance is no match for my ability; it can only slow down the spread of my power!"
That's enough.
Lyon smiled at Snow Miser, but this time, he didn't respond to his words. Instead, he looked up at the setting sun on the horizon.
As long as I can stall for a few more hours, night will fall, and the darkness is where I truly thrive.
