Chapter 847: Ritual? Execution! (Part 2)
Chapter 847: Ritual? Execution! (Part 2)
"You!"
Perhaps it was Lyon's playful and mocking gaze that provoked the third criminal, for the fear in their eyes instantly transformed into seething rage.
"Don't go too far! I'm a True God, not..."
"Bang!"
"Crime: True God."
Lyon twisted off the empty air canister, replaced it with a new one, and then pressed the gun barrel against the fourth True God's head, reaching out to pull the rag from his mouth.
However, the fourth True God seemed to understand Lyon's intention. Knowing that speaking his "last words" would result in a bullet to the head, he bit down on the rag, refusing to let it be pulled out.
"Bang!"
"Crime: Refusal to speak last words..."
Although it seemed like a lengthy process, from the moment the first True God was shot in the head to the moment Lyon pressed the gun barrel against the fifth True God's head, no more than ten seconds had passed.
With Lyon's incredibly high efficiency of executing a True God every three seconds, the "Constraints" suddenly decreased by nearly a tenth of the Tale of Illusions, finally confirming the previous guess...
The True Gods summoned by White Snake had all been captured by Shi Shen! They were being executed one by one on stage! Stop! Stop it, damn it!!!
After realizing Lyon's intentions, the Tale of Illusions, with eyes wide in fury, couldn't help but scream. Then, with all its might, it activated the Bedtime Story, attempting to stop Lyon's outrageous act of executing the gods.
While truth itself was unassailable, it could only correct those who tried to defy it. The Bedtime Story, though capable of forcibly suppressing its target, couldn't stop actions that aligned with one's "character."
Lyon, with his absurd and cruel reasons for executing those who opposed him, perfectly matched his own character as an Evil Prince, falling outside the regulatory scope of the Bedtime Story and facing no restrictions whatsoever.
Thank you. You're truly a good god.
Looking up at the sky where the crow's incarnation was howling, Lyon nodded at the pair of eyes filled with both rage and astonishment, expressing his goodwill and approval. Then, he reached out and yanked the rag from the fifth True God's mouth.
"What about you? What do you have to say?"
"I... I'm different from them! I'm a human! I really am!"
Hmm?
Lyon raised an eyebrow at these words, reached out to touch its forehead, and then calmly pulled the trigger.
"Unfortunately, you're not."
After wiping off the dirt from the gun barrel, Lyon pulled the rag from the sixth True God's mouth and pressed the barrel against it.
"No! Don't shoot!"
Seeing the five True Gods shot before him, the sixth True God couldn't help but tremble and plead:
"I... I surrender! I..."
"Bang!"
"Crime: Surrender."
"You... damn you! Do you think you've won?"
Realizing from the experiences of the previous six unfortunate ones that Lyon would never let him go, the seventh True God, with the cloth in his mouth removed, directly choked out:
"You'll have your day of death! And it won't just be you, but also your family! Your wife! Your descendants! Everyone you know will suffer because of your stupidity..."
"Bang."
Lyon shot the seventh True God in the head, then made a mark on his soul. Looking at the other thirty-two True Gods tied to the stakes, Lyon frowned and said:
"Asking each of you is too troublesome... So, since you all share the same crime, which is insulting me in your dreams last night, I hereby sentence you all to death!"
"?!?!"
Seeing Lyon pull out a handful of bronze nails and begin loading them one by one as "bullets," the remaining thirty-two True Gods began writhing frantically, their eyes turning upward toward the circling crows, who cawed in fury.
Quickly release your damn story! Hurry, or it'll be too late!
In reality, there was no need for their urging. When they realized that Lyon's actions aligned with the "character" of the Bedtime Story and couldn't be stopped, the Tale of Illusions, at the risk of backlash, desperately tried to interrupt the Bedtime Story.
The effect of the power.
However, all of this required time. It was only after Lyon executed the eighteenth True God and turned his gun towards the nineteenth True God that the Constraint brought about by Bedtime Story finally came to a halt.
Just as the nineteenth True God rejoiced and tried to break free from the ropes to counterattack... to escape, he suddenly seemed to have fallen into a dye factory, as his body was covered in a large patch of bizarre, colorful runes.
Then, malicious voices emerged from all around, and numerous strange patterns appeared under his skin, instantly stripping the nineteenth True God of his regained power. He collapsed on the ground, trembling uncontrollably like a live wire.
"The Curse Society's curses, the Witch Society's potions, the Rune Society's extreme evil spells, the Totem Society's venomous tattoos..."
Lyon poked the colorful parts of the nineteenth True God's body with his gun, pointing out the various hidden attacks he had suffered. Then, Lyon shoved the gun into the True God's mouth, which was foaming green, and explained with a cheerful smile:
"The curse was carved into the wooden stake, the potion was slipped into your breakfast, and the spells and tattoos were hidden in the lining of your prisoner clothes and the ropes that bound you... You should know that the Sorceress Kingdom has no shortage of people skilled in various arcane arts.
The original text can be found in Book 9@!
And now that you're all in my hands, as the Vice President of the Yarn Ball Society, I can call upon hundreds of my subordinates. Under the guidance of the Great Witch King, it's only natural for us to work on you overnight. Don't you think so?"
"You... you're despicable! I... I won't accept this!"
"Bang!"
Whether you accept it or not!
Under the watchful gaze of Tale of Illusions, Lyon shot the nineteenth True God and then stood next to the wooden stake. He leaned on the sniper rifle's supermodel-like penetration power and horizontally shot the remaining True Gods, killing six of them with a single bullet.
After Lyon changed his execution method, the efficiency of this execution increased to an unprecedented level. With just three gunshots, the True Gods, who had begun to slowly recover their powers after breaking free from the suppression of Bedtime Story, perished under the buffs that covered their bodies.
Even their souls, which escaped after their physical bodies died, could not flee. Instead, they were blocked by the Cat Princess and the mediums of the Medium Society on the execution platform. Within the range predetermined by the runes, they frantically scrambled like a swarm of headless flies.
"Madman! You're a madman!"
The True Gods, suppressed by the Watchtower Palace, were blocked by a group of weak mediums and unable to escape. They were tied up like dogs by Lyon, who held a long rope. The crows in the sky couldn't help but let out a piercing cry, and then, with eyes full of hatred, they shouted:
"You can't do this! Many of them are True Gods who can't die! If you really consume them, the mortal world will also be affected!"
"Yeah, I know."
Lyon tied the rope that held the string of True Gods to his wrist to prevent their escape and replied without changing his expression:
"Aren't they all still here? I'll check when I get back and decide which one to consume... What about you? What are you going to do?"
As Lyon spoke, he waved the rope holding the wailing True Gods towards the crows above. The string of souls, howling in despair, rose like kites, emitting a chilling sound that made one's scalp tingle.
"If I'm not mistaken, about two-thirds of the True Gods from the Butcher King Society are here, right?"
Lyon waved the "Emperor's Banner" in his hand, causing a series of wails and curses. With his increasingly unrestrained demeanor, Lyon smiled at the birds filled with boundless hatred and invited Tale of Illusions:
"So, what do you say? Do you want to come down and save them?"
