Chapter 756: Ocean of Tranquil Stones
Chapter 756: Ocean of Tranquil Stones
Huh?
The black-haired woman, who was about to reach out and touch the Crow's head, suddenly hesitated and withdrew her hand.
"Hmm?"
The Crow-masked man, who had been waiting with his eyes closed, opened them in surprise.
"What's wrong?"
"Nothing..."
Snowbeast hesitated, then spoke with a strange expression.
"I just felt like someone licked the palm of my hand... But it must have been just an illusion, right?"
"Of course, it's an illusion!"
Hearing this, the Crow couldn't help but roll his eyes.
"I have zero interest in you! How could I possibly lick your hand?"
"I didn't mean you licked it. What I meant was, I suddenly had a strange feeling just now... Never mind, it's not important."
After shaking his head slightly, Snowbeast reached out again, rubbed the Crow's mask, and turned the black Crow mask into a white wolf-headed mask. Then, he instructed:
"It's all set. From now on, you are me, and I am the one who was killed ten years ago, a First-Level Purifier of the Aquarius Bureau.
If the Food God and the Aquarius Director come down together, then don't bother running. Just threaten them with my life. But if the Aquarius Director chases after us alone, throw me at him... Got it?"
"I got it..."
The Crow touched his face, then looked down at his now-slender body. Wearing the wolf-headed mask, he couldn't help but question:
"So your plan is to disguise yourself as someone who died ten years ago and then ambush the Aquarius Director again?"
"What's wrong? Is it not feasible?"
"..."
Isn't it feasible? Of course not!
Facing the black-haired woman's rebuttal, the Crow was speechless.
"This person has been dead for ten years. The Aquarius Director isn't stupid. How could he possibly fall for such a dumb trick? If he has any brains at all, he wouldn't believe that you're that Purifier!"
"You're right. He wouldn't fall for such a trick."
The black-haired woman nodded, then smiled and countered:
"But what if I really am her?"
"???"
What... What are you talking about?
"Ten years ago, after I killed this woman, I didn't destroy her body or soul. Instead, I devoured her whole.
Even during the 'digestion' process, I didn't use any violent methods. She managed to survive in my stomach for ten years solely through her willpower... And if I can swallow her whole, I can spit her out whole as well."
The black-haired woman gently caressed her smooth face, and as the Crow's eyes widened in shock, she continued to explain with a gentle expression:
"I don't intend to disguise myself as this woman and ambush the old man from the Aquarius Bureau. Instead, I want him to 'see through' my deception and personally kill this woman.
His Heart Lake already suffered partial leakage due to the previous ambush. Once we reveal the truth, and he learns everything, even if he doesn't collapse, his Heart Lake will undoubtedly be damaged again!"
"Sss..."
The Crow, who had just gasped in shock, wore the face of the female Purifier's mother and smiled slightly, revealing a slightly mocking expression.
"As the Illusion and Heart Lake Deity, I excel at dealing with people with deep 'scars' in their hearts.
Even if my strength is significantly inferior to his, I might not be able to control him by breaking his Heart Lake. But once his Heart Lake is thoroughly stirred up, I can fill his soul with endless illusions.
"And when what he sees, hears, touches, or even senses intuitively cannot be guaranteed to be real, then he can't do anything either."
"..."
"Do you have any more questions?"
"No more..."
The Crow Masked Man, whose heart was slightly disturbed by the sight of the Snow Miser's charming smile, shook his head subconsciously and said, "Since you've already made preparations, should I start now?"
"Yes."
The black-haired woman nodded slightly, turned around, and looked towards the vast expanse of crimson magma deep within the Earth's core.
Countless earthy yellow giant bricks formed a stone canopy, stretching from the eye to the distant horizon, covering the entire sea of lava, revealing only a faint glow through the cracks.
"Crow, remember to destroy all the Tranquil Stones at once. There must be no omissions."
With a wave of her hand, she lightly patted the stone ocean in front of her. After crushing an area the size of a pond, she watched as the Tranquil Stone Sea rapidly regenerated from a distance, restoring the Tranquil Stone Sea in the blink of an eye. Her face, illuminated by the red glow, couldn't help but give instructions:
"This thing is the third-generation Taurus Director of the Purification Bureau, specifically created to seal off the Great Pavilion's Ten Descendants. As long as there's still a Tranquil Stone left in this ocean of stones, the Three Descendants of the Earth in the Marrow Realm won't be able to come out. You must..."
"I know, I know!"
The Crow Masked Man, who was in the process of closing his eyes and mobilizing his powers, repeated impatiently:
"The Ocean of Melt's Stone Sea, the Moon of Ebb's Moon of Drought, the Tree Homeland beneath the Cloud Homeland; Tranquil Stones unmoving, Marrow unending; Tranquil Drought Fish unswimming, unswimming eyes unseen; Silent Tree Flowers unopened, unopened feathers unable to fly..."
"Although I didn't experience those events, after all these years, I've heard enough. In any case, regardless of the unending Marrow, as long as I destroy all the Tranquil Stones in one go, we'll have accomplished our mission!"
As the Snow Miser, who was about to say something, was stopped, the Crow Masked Man opened his arms, and a thick black fog, almost dyeing the world black, began to spread in all directions with a chaotic and intense scent.
Immediately after, countless completely black crows emerged from the Crow Masked Man's body, scattering in all directions with a piercing screech, flapping their wings filled with an ominous aura. They flew into the white dome above, which was filled with stalactites...
Boom!!!
What was that sound?
Lyon, who had followed the trail left by the Heart Lake Deity, sensing the violent sound coming from the Earth's core as if the earth itself was wailing, couldn't help but frown, feeling an ominous premonition.
Judging by the sound's location, it seemed to be coming from the deepest part of the Earth's core. Either the True God of the Carnage King Society and the Aquarius Bureau Chief were fighting, or they were in the process of breaking the seal of the Marrow Realm.
If it was the former, it would prove that Barto Director had caught up, which would be a good thing. But if it was the latter...
"Lyon!"
Just as Lyon was frowning and preparing to repatriate some Nightmares and the Nightmare River to weaken his own power and increase his speed, a female Purifier's voice suddenly called out from behind him.
"I smelled it! This time, it's definitely Uncle's scent! The direction is the same as the one you chose. This time... Oh no! I can also smell blood! Uncle is injured!"
