Chapter 770: The Beginning of a Legend
Chapter 770: The Beginning of a Legend
Reaching into his pocket, Lyon retrieved the Descent Doll used to contact the headquarters. The golden-haired doll with its white locks immediately scanned Lyon and his companions upon being brought out.
I knew Lyon would be able to handle the situation!
Seeing Lyon and his group unharmed, the Taurus Director, whose will had descended upon the doll, visibly heaved a sigh of relief. His expression then tensed as he asked, "Are you underground? What's the situation? Did you stop the Carnage King Society members?"
"Er... no."
Lyon shook his head and explained, "When we went down earlier, the Carnage King Society had already destroyed the Ocean of Tranquil Stones and released the Earthline Descendants from the Marrow Realm."
"What?!"
The Taurus Director's doll was shocked by this news. He clenched his teeth and said, "Those Earthline Descendants are no ordinary foes! If the three Clan Leaders join forces, they can even replicate the Great Pavilion's Shell. You must not confront them directly, it's best to..."
"Director Taurus, is the Shell you mentioned a giant with a yellowish-brown body, lacking eyes, ears, mouth, and other organs?"
"You've seen that thing? Then..."
"We've already smashed it."
"Huh?"
"That thing was indeed formidable."
Recalling the awe-inspiring might of the Earth Body, Lyon couldn't help but praise, "I threw ten mountains at it, but not only did it survive, it absorbed those mountains and became even stronger."
"Huh??"
"Later, I hurled over a hundred mountains at it, surpassing the Shell's recovery limit and completely shattering it. The Earth Tribes surrendered after that..."
After briefly explaining what had transpired, Lyon reminded the Taurus Director, whose doll looked bewildered, "Oh, right, Director Taurus, the Earth Tribes are willing to surrender to us. They're open to employment and a certain degree of control, which might help alleviate the Bureau's manpower shortage. When will you receive them?"
"Huh???"
...
As the Taurus Director was bombarded with one shocking revelation after another, leaving him speechless, the Carnage King Society, on the other hand, was half a step behind. They had just received the news of their plan's failure.
"I have some unfortunate news to share with everyone."
The man in the main seat, wearing a White Snake Mask, closed his eyes slightly and sighed, "Just now, Crow and Snow Miser, who were in charge of handling the Aquarius Bureau, had their true names disappear from the fragments of the Ten-Line Code. We've lost two more official members."
What?!
Upon hearing the White Snake Mask man's announcement, the shadows surrounding the skeletal long table gasped in unison.
No one questioned the veracity of this news because the fragments of the Ten-Line Code, one of the Carnage King Society's most important foundations, were never wrong.
Once a true name was signed on it, even the most adept liar, the God of Falsehood, couldn't escape the Code's constraints.
There were only two reasons for a name to disappear from the Code.
Either the signer was captured and completely erased by the more powerful authority, or they ascended to become a Pillar God, temporarily breaking free from the Code's hold due to their own power surge.
And for Snow Miser and Crow, who were far from becoming Pillar Gods, it was undoubtedly the former situation.
"So, it was that Lyon again?"
After a brief silence, a woman with a Black Cat Mask, who was quite familiar with Crow, spoke up first. "Did he team up with the Aquarius Director to eliminate Crow and Snow Miser before they reached the Earth Core?"
The masked man with the White Snake Mask nodded heavily, his expression grave as he said:
"The specific situation isn't clear yet, but it should be something like this."
"But... How could they have failed?"
A member of the Culling King Society, wearing a Leopard Mask, his face with disbelief, asked:
"Snow Miser prepared for this opportunity for ten years, almost completely infiltrating the Aquarius Bureau. With his two slippery hands’ powers, how could he be caught and eliminated?"
"Yes!"
Another member of the Culling King Society added:
"Snow Miser's plans in the Northern Kingdom were basically guaranteed to succeed. The difference should have been just a matter of earning more or less. How did it suddenly fail, and both of them died?"
"I also find it odd."
A third member of the Culling King Society nodded, his eyes full of disbelief as he said:
"Even Crow, he's always been unreliable, but how could Snow Miser, who was so meticulous, have a problem?"
"Right! Crow's death is normal, but how could Snow Miser die?"
"Wasn't it because Crow dragged Snow Miser's rear leg? This mess is all because of him!"
"Forget it, they’re both dead now."
"Sigh! This plan failed, it's such a pity, and Snow Miser's death is even more regrettable."
"Yes!"
"... What do you mean by this?"
Amid the surging power within his body, following the connection with the Ten Line Code, the members of the Culling King Society, who were mourning for Snow Miser, couldn't help but feel a mix of emotions. The man with the Crow Mask couldn't help but burst into anger.
"Damn it! I'm not dead yet!"
"??!"
〈(゜。゜)〈(゜。゜)〈(゜。゜)
Seeing the man with the Crow Mask suddenly appear at the table, radiating an overwhelming presence, the members of the Culling King Society couldn't help but be in shock.
"Crow?!"
The man with the White Snake Mask reacted first, quickly standing up, his eyes full of shock as he asked:
"You're not dead? You... Pillar God? You've become a Pillar God?"
"Right! I have become a Pillar God!"
Looking at the crowd whose jaws dropped in astonishment, the eyes of the Culling King Society members even carried a hint of fear, the man with the Crow Mask couldn't help but look around with a cold smile, retaliating:
"This is the result of my own handiwork after I personally liberated the Earthline Descendants from the Earth core and fought a bloody battle with the Food God of the Purification Bureau! Where do you faces have the nerve to talk nonsense with me, who wouldn't dare to stand before me in this world?"
"..."
"There's also, what do you mean by dragging me back? The one who clearly dragged back was Snow Miser, that fool!"
Recalling how he had been abandoned by Snow Miser, almost strangled to death by the Aquarius Bureau Chief, Crow couldn't help but roar in a ferocious manner:
"Snow Miser couldn't control the Aquarius Bureau Chief, I risked my life to rescue him!"
"Snow Miser’s mistake in handling led to the failure in capturing the Soul Lake of Hot River City, instead allowing the Food God to harvest all the souls of Hot River City. I alone held back two Zodiac Rank opponents! Furthermore, it was I who personally destroyed the blockade of the Marrow Realm, releasing the Earthline Descendants within the Marrow Realm! After Snow Miser, that fool, was eliminated, I fought a three-way battle with the Three Great Earthline Chiefs and the members of the Purification Bureau, shaking the entire earth core until mountains crumbled and the earth split!
"In the end, although I lost the battle, I forced the Food god to play his last card, indirectly causing the complete annihilation of the Northern Kingdom! Though I lost, I am still glorious! What right do you have to question me about this?"
"..."
After listening to Crow's legendary experience, the members of the Culling King Society couldn't help but look at each other, then they turned their gazes toward a member wearing a gray ram head mask.
"It's true."
The man with the Ram Head Mask nodded, the horizontal lines in his eyes full of astonishment as he confirmed:
"My powers tell me, though there might be some exaggeration, Crow didn't lie. He really did these things..."
