Chapter 764: The Backup Plan is Truly Effective
Chapter 764: The Backup Plan is Truly Effective
[You have consumed a terrified True God and diligently absorbed the nutrients it brought, gaining a vague understanding of its power over its own abilities.]
[You have successfully activated the special badge with no level, "Heart Lake Illusion."]
[Heart Lake Illusion: While experiencing the illusion and the deity of the Heart Lake, you have developed a hazy comprehension of the two powers it wields.]
[Equip Effect:
Effect One: When intentionally deceiving, the credibility of your lies and disguises will significantly increase depending on the specific plausibility.
Effect Two: You can sense the intensely turbulent Heart Lake and draw a portion of its power to strengthen yourself, with the extraction range determined by your current maximum immersion value.]
[Advancement Path: When your immersion value reaches 60 and you defeat a True God-level being who possesses the 'Pseudohallucination' ability, the badge will automatically advance to the exotic badge 'False Illusionary Truth.'
When your immersion value reaches 60 and you defeat a True God-level being who possesses the 'Heart Lake' ability, the badge will automatically advance to the exotic badge 'Tide of the Heart.']
[Hidden Trait (No need to equip): Coveting the existence of 'Pseudohallucination' and 'Heart Lake' abilities will likely result in them taking the initiative to attack you.]
...
And he even managed to get a badge without a level?
Looking at the faintly flickering "Heart Lake Illusion" on the panel, Lyon blinked and revealed a thoughtful expression.
This was his second badge without a level. The previous one was the "Nightmare is the Deepest Fear in Night" contributed by the Nightmare King. The effects of "Nightmare, Night, and Fear" were very similar to "Heart Lake Illusion," providing some of the abilities of the Nightmare King.
So, that means... I can acquire the abilities of True Gods by 'consuming' them?
Hmm... I recall that in the Crab Director's 'Prison,' there should still be quite a few True Gods locked up. If I ask him for eight or ten of them to eat, wouldn't that...
"Director!"
Just as Lyon was slightly distracted, thinking about the Crab Director's inventory, the Aquarius Bureau Chief, standing beside him, clenched his fist and asked anxiously:
"What were you trying to find out?"
"Ah, find out what?"
"???"
Lyon's baffling expression left Aquarius somewhat perplexed, and he said with a strained face:
"You released it just now to gather information, didn't you?"
"Yes, but it's not talking."
"It's not talking because it wants to set conditions!"
"That's the same as not talking at all!"
"..."
Aquarius was left speechless by Lyon's response. His chest heaved rapidly, and then his lips twitched as he said:
"Then, when you ate it just now, it wasn't to read its soul?"
"Of course not. I'm not a brain-eating demon; how could I have such an ability?"
"But... but..."
"Stop with the buts! Instead of figuring out how we got into this mess and how to save your traitorous daughter-in-law, what we should focus on right now is finding a way to deal with those Earth Heritage descendants!)"
Feeling the Earth below gradually becoming tempestuous, Lyon hastily removed the snake bracelet from his wrist, freeing the female cleaner and her brother. He then urged:
"Luckily, I still have a backup plan... Hurry up! Quickly make your grandson abdicate and let your granddaughter succeed the throne as queen!"
"It's my grand-nephew and grand-niece..."
After unconsciously correcting him, Aquarius asked in a mixture of surprise and bewilderment:
"You actually have a backup plan?"
But does solving the Earthline Descendants' problem have anything to do with Harvey's abdication?"
"Yes, and it's a huge deal! In short, if you want to preserve the Northern Kingdom, you need to follow my instructions immediately!"
Interrupting the Aquarius Director, Lyon slapped the blue-haired king, who was still unconscious, and roughly pulled the crown off his head, placing it on the head of the female cleaner, who was completely bewildered.
The slender female cleaner had a much smaller head circumference than her brother, and the crown, which fit perfectly on the blue-haired youth's head, slid down her head and became a necklace around her neck.
Damn! Do the Northern Kingdom's craftsmen must be idiots! Don't they know how to make a standard-sized crown?
Lyon couldn't help but curse them for being incompetent, and immediately grabbed the metallic "necklace" adorned with gems, sliding it back onto the female cleaner's head. He used so much force that he even rubbed her nose red.
Without delay, Lyon removed the largest white gem from the center of the "Snow River Crown" and, using sheer strength, bent the front part of the metal crown into a "Z" shape, manually adjusting it to fit the female cleaner's head.
"Oh no! This crown is over six hundred years old! How could you..."
"If I didn't do this, your entire Northern Kingdom would become history today!"
Lyon replied while multitasking, and to ensure the modified crown would still be recognized, he turned the pointed end of the crown and reinserted the large gem, then shouted at the blue-haired king, who was filled with bewilderment:
"Hurry up! Abdicate quickly and let your sister become queen!"
"???"
Wait... no one in the family understands. I was just dragged into the river for a bath, and now I've suddenly lost my throne?
And, Uncle-Grandpa, are you just going to stand there and watch? Say something!
"Do as he says..."
After receiving his nephew's helpless gaze, the Aquarius Director's lips moved slightly, and he smiled bitterly, "Uncle-Grandpa doesn't have a solution right now. Just follow Lyon's instructions."
"But... even if I have to abdicate, the current situation is not right!"
The blue-haired youth's beard bristled as he protested, "According to the traditional custom of succession, a high-ranking elder should be present, foreign envoys should be invited in advance, and at least half of the tribal leaders or their representatives should attend..."
"Don't worry, we have everything!"
Lyon interrupted, "Your grandfather is the elder, I'm the foreign envoy, and we have tribal representatives. Everyone from Hot River City is here."
"Huh?"
"Hurry up and pass the throne to your sister! This is the Northern Kingdom's last chance!"
"..."
Although completely clueless about the situation, since his uncle-grandfather didn't object and his sister nodded in agreement after her initial bewilderment, the blue-haired king reluctantly raised his hand and stammered, "In accordance with the ancient customs of Eishoto Kingdom, honoring the sacred bloodline of our ancestors, as witnessed by Hexagonal Snow Mountain and Ice Plain Gale..."
"Cut the chatter! Stop talking about useless things and just keep it simple!"
"..."
"Hurry up and finish the speech!"
"I... I, Harvey Eishoto, the current king of the Northern Kingdom, hereby announce my abdication and pass the throne to Queen Melissande Eishoto."
