Chapter 853: The Death of Betrayal
Chapter 853: The Death of Betrayal
"Lyon!"
As the image in the small mirror split into two, the Taurus Director, who had joined the chat group, flushed slightly, his eyes filled with excitement as he said, "Listen to me! Those thirty-nine wooden stakes, you must..."
"They're gone."
"And the ceremonial carpet soaked in divine blood..."
"I still have it."
"The platform below, where many True Gods died..."
"I've taken care of everything, even the soil around it that was stained with divine blood, I've scraped it all up."
"Good, good! As long as it's all taken care of, that's great!"
Hearing that Lyon had obtained all the usable materials, the Taurus Director in the small mirror couldn't help but nod repeatedly. Then, with a smile on his face, he said,
"Lyon, you must give these things to me! If you also hand over your gun, I can guarantee to create a set of anomalous objects within the top 10, or even higher!"
"Then I'll have to trouble you."
"It's no trouble, no trouble at all. You're the one who's truly suffering. Ahahaha!"
"???"
What's going on?
The Taurus Director in the mirror couldn't help but burst into laughter, his laughter so hearty that even his tonsils were exposed. The Red-Haired Director, who was secretly drinking, couldn't help but pause, his eyes widening in disbelief as he asked,
"Wait! Are you serious about what you just said? You really took down forty True Gods?!?!"
"It's just luck, pure luck."
Due to the exceptionally outstanding performance this time, Lyon, who was usually calm, couldn't help but feel a surge of emotion as he saw the Red-Haired Director's stunned expression. After a moment of feigned modesty, he couldn't hold back his laughter and said, "It was originally impossible, but the Tale of Illusions intervened, dragging down most of the members of the Butcher King Society. They insisted on fighting to the end, so... hehe, so if we're talking about credit, her contribution is actually greater than mine. She deserves to be honored as an honorary director."
"Ah!!!"
Hearing Lyon's sincere praise, the Tale of Illusions, who had been stabbed, was immediately infuriated. His voice rose from within the dog's belly as he shouted,
"God of Food! Once I get out of here..."
"Enough, stop dreaming."
Glancing at the figure within the dog's belly, Lyon couldn't help but smirk and say, "Getting out is impossible. Your best outcome is to stay in the Crab Director's belly until the world ends."
"You!"
In response to Lyon's answer, the Tale of Illusions inside the dog's belly clenched his teeth. Then, with a cold smile, he retorted,
"You don't think you've already won, do you? The Butcher King Society isn't just me, there are other Pillar Gods! And! Although we didn't succeed here, we won over there in the Thousand Sails Kingdom!"
The Thousand Sails Kingdom?
Hearing the counterattack from the Tale of Illusions, Lyon couldn't help but frown slightly. Then, he looked at the small mirror in his hand, and both the Director and the Taurus Director's faces sank simultaneously.
Did something really happen in the Thousand Sails Kingdom? So... the greedy bloodline of the Sai Kingdom's royal family has been dealt with?
"What she said is true."
Noticing Lyon's expression, the Red-Haired Director sighed and took the initiative to explain,
"The Crab Bureau has done their best, but the situation in the Sai Kingdom is extremely severe. The entire Moon-Blocking Sea has been planted with Sun Corpse Incantations, and anyone exposed to sunlight will instantly turn into an undead.
So, the Butcher King Society only needs to break through the thick fog above the King's Ship to succeed. While dealing with them, the Bureau also has to protect the fog from being dispersed, which is an extremely challenging task."
So that's how it is...
Upon hearing this, Lyon fell silent for a moment, then asked with a furrowed brow,
"The Sun Dial Disk from the headquarters..."
"Can't we use the sunlight to disperse the thick fog?"
"Hmm..."
The Taurus Director, whose cheerful expression had faded, nodded and spoke with a heavy tone. "Whether it's the Sun Dial Disk or the Moon Phase Mirror, they will tear through the fog above the Moon-Blocking Sea first, so we can't provide much help. We dared not continue after forcefully killing two True Gods."
The Crab Bureau Chief had no choice but to go with the other cleaners to support, and they fought with the Butcher King Society for almost ten days. But three days ago, the fog above the Moon-Blocking Sea was punctured, and over forty thousand people on the King's Ship were instantly burned to death by the sun..."
The Taurus Director paused for a moment as he spoke, then pursed his lips. His eyes showed three parts pain and seven parts resentment as he said, "Actually, the Sagittarius Director had already thought of this. He had made preparations in advance and made a pact with several Death Realm Sovereigns. Even if the fog above the Moon-Blocking Sea was broken, they could still forcibly pull the Undead back from the Death Realm.
But there was a problem with the Death Realm. They didn't abide by the agreement between us and instead sided with the Butcher King Society. At the moment the Undead appeared, they took action and dragged the entire King's Ship into the Death Realm.

Apart from the Crab Bureau Chief, who reacted in time and narrowly avoided the attack, all forty thousand residents on the King's Ship, along with the Crab Bureau and the supporting cleaners, were pulled into the Death Realm, and not a single one of them managed to escape."
Did none of the supporting cleaners make it out?
Upon hearing this, Lyon fell silent for a moment before turning to look at the Red-Haired Bureau Chief.
"What about Senior Emma...?"
"Emma is also inside."
The Red-Haired Bureau Chief closed his eyes, his expression somewhat unpleasant as he took a gulp of wine. Then, he slightly turned his head and said, "Once you enter the range of the Sun Corpse Incantation, you'll be transformed into an 'Unseen' Undead. So Emma, being of the 'Undying Series', was naturally within the scope of the draft...
I'm sorry, Lyon. I and Sir Taurus didn't intend to hide this from you. It's just that we couldn't reach you, and we hadn't had the chance to tell you yet. Moreover, the Bureau is still negotiating with the Death Realm, and we might be able to forcefully retrieve them based on the agreement. That's why we didn't immediately inform you of this matter."
"Oh."
After responding noncommittally, Lyon glanced at the Red-Haired Bureau Chief, who was still drinking heavily in front of the Taurus Director. Lyon couldn't help but furrow his brows in thought for a moment. Then, his eyes flashed with inquiry as he asked, "Chief, the reason the Death Realm turned against us is actually because of me, right?"
"..."
"Is it because I consumed the Guardian of Death Hound and temporarily took away the corresponding ability, and they feared the Bureau would continue to do so, so they sided with the Butcher King Society? Or did they propose a condition, hoping the Bureau would hand me over, but it was rejected, leading to their sudden betrayal?"
"I knew you'd see through it..."
The Red-Haired Bureau Chief sighed and took a big gulp of wine before nodding. "The situation is indeed similar to what you guessed. The Death Realm did propose a similar condition, but it was rejected by the Bureau... However, this matter isn't entirely because of you; you merely ignited the fuse of the problem.
In the past, when the Death Realm tried to dominate the living world, the Third Generation Bureau Chief killed a Death Realm Sovereign and replaced the Malignant Spirit Valley he created with the current Sage's Graveyard. It was then that the Death Realm was forced to make a pact with us.
But now, the Third Generation Bureau Chief has been dead for who knows how many years, leaving behind only a little obsession lying in the graveyard. The Death Realm probably couldn't hold back any longer. Even if they hadn't sided with the Butcher King Society this time, they would have eventually tried to fight us."
