Chapter 864: Unscrupulous
Chapter 864: Unscrupulous
Emma...
Upon hearing Taurus Director's words, Lyon couldn't help but clench his fist, falling silent for a moment. Pisces Director, after a brief pause, also reached out and covered the Pisces pattern on the table.
"I stand with Sir Taurus, neither supporting nor opposing. I'm sorry, I'm not good at analyzing such matters, and I really can't determine who is right. I can only abstain, but I'm willing to listen to you."
"If you choose to go to war, I will give it my all. If you want to continue negotiations, then count me in with the three who went to the Sea of Nameless Steles to have their names engraved."
"..."
So... two votes in favor, one against, and two abstentions?
After assessing the situation, the group of directors exchanged glances, then simultaneously raised their hands to remove the black beans from their ears. They then turned their attention to the Capricorn Director's seat.
"Ahaha, I thought you weren't going to listen to my opinion."
Unbothered by the group's "bullying" behavior, the Capricorn Director reappeared, laughing heartily. He then proceeded to analyze the situation.
"In my opinion, fighting now is the best choice. After all, it's better to strike early than late. But given our current state, not fighting is actually a more stable option. However, we must also consider the possible intentions of the Death Realm..."
Bohao! He let his guard down!
Under the mind-invading voice of the Capricorn Director, the Archer Director, being the closest, was the first to suffer. His square face turned pale as he trembled and quickly put the bean back in his ear.
The other directors, realizing the situation, quickly followed suit, stuffing the gag beans into their ears and turning up the volume to maximum. They then looked towards the round table in front of the Capricorn Director without lifting their heads.
After more than ten minutes, with the other five directors watching, the Capricorn pattern on the round table, featuring a goat's head and fish's body, became slightly blurred, as if something was blocking it. This gave the group a clear idea of the Capricorn Director's stance.
Oppose.
Two in favor, two against, and two abstentions. Facing this headache-inducing voting result, Lyon was at a loss for words.
If the Death Realm had a "Queen," he could trigger the ability "The Man Behind the Queen" and replicate his operation in the Northern Kingdom, directly causing continent-level destruction.
However, among those in the Death Realm who could be considered "Kings," only the Crow-Eyed Grandma and the Mountain Patrol seemed to be female, and they were clearly on opposing sides. He couldn't rely on them to hold the badge, rendering his strongest trump card useless.
The Crab Director's analysis was also reasonable. The current state of the Purification Bureau was indeed not ideal. While they could defend themselves, they lacked offensive capabilities. Forcing a war with the Death Realm while burdened with these old, weak, sick, and disabled individuals would be like gambling with the safety of all humanity...
Wait a moment!
Suddenly remembering something, Lyon reached for his cufflink and pulled out the Soul Banner... the rope with twenty-four True God souls attached to it.
"These are the spoils of war I obtained in the Sorceress Kingdom," Lyon said, shaking the rope vigorously to straighten the string of constantly wailing and cursing True Gods. He tied one end of the rope to the table leg and continued to pull out more items.
"These are the physical remains of those True Gods, the shrouds soaked in their divine blood, and the execution ground, stakes, ceremonial carpet, and platform..."
Lyon pulled out thirty-nine blood-soaked mummies and stacked them on the round table where the meeting was taking place. As he continued to retrieve items from the Mirror World, he addressed Taurus Director, his voice cutting through the other directors' tense expressions.
"Sir Taurus, can you forge an Anomaly Artifact specifically to deal with the Death Realm Sovereign using these materials?"
"Huh?"
"If that's not enough, we can add this as well."
Reaching out, Leon grabbed the nape of the Three-Headed Black Dog and dragged it out of the mirror world, having consumed the Tale of Illusions. He tentatively spoke, "Although I killed the body of the Tale of Illusions with my fist, it still died on the execution platform. If we stretch it a bit, we might be able to make a complete set... What do you think of these materials?"
They... they can be used! This is incredibly useful!
Glancing at the round table covered in blood and gore, then at the True God's soul tied to the chair leg, and the pile of divine materials on the ground, the Taurus Director's breathing became heavy.
No matter how much money you have in the bank, it's just a string of numbers that can be written in a few seconds. But if you were to exchange it all for cash, it would be enough to create a mountain of money that would reach from your head to your toes.
The Taurus Director's current mood was somewhat similar to this situation. Even though she already knew that Leon was "wealthy," the sight of this "historic" pile of materials left her so excited that she couldn't speak for a moment.
Those who had achieved success in the Taurus Secret Technique would never lack passion for Anomaly Forging. The Taurus Director's heart raced as she clenched her fists three times in succession before managing to suppress the urge to roll around in excitement. Her voice trembled as she reminded him, "You... Leon, think carefully. These materials are enough to create an Anomaly Artifact with a number below 10, giving you power comparable to, or even surpassing, a typical Pillar God. But if you specifically target the Death Realm Sovereign..."
"It's fine. Go ahead and use it."
Please... you... collect... 6... 9... books...
Upon hearing this, Leon smiled and handed over the box containing the sniper rifle. With a confident look in his eyes, he said, "No matter how rare the materials are, they can't be more precious than a person. If it can solve the current problem, then it's worth it... Besides, since I was able to obtain these materials once, I can definitely do it again. If I use them up, I'll just get more."
You're talking nonsense!
The Tale of Illusions, inside the Three-Headed Black Dog's swollen belly, felt a surge of malevolent energy rising from the depths of its being, burning through its skull upon hearing Leon's words. And if you use them up, just go get more? By the time you finish this trip, the Butcher King Society will have lost two-fifths of its members! Where do you think you're going to get more? Damn you! Wait a minute! Let me curse him! Fck!
Unaware of the Tale of Illusions' resentment, the Taurus Director collected the Three-Headed Black Dog containing it, along with the other materials Leon had brought out. She couldn't help but feel a mix of emotions as she said, "Leon... I... I don't know what to say. With these materials you've brought, we might truly be able to end this with a single blow, and we won't have to continue negotiations with those Death Realm Sovereigns."
No more negotiations? Leon pondered for a moment, then looked at the Taurus Director and said, "I think we can continue negotiations with the Death Realm Sovereigns."
"Huh?"
"What I mean is, we can find a suitable location, invite those Death Realm Sovereigns for negotiations, and then..."
Leon paused briefly before raising his right hand and making a powerful chopping gesture. His eyes gleamed with malice as he proposed, "Let's set up an ambush in advance and kill a few Death Realm Sovereigns first. After that, dealing with the rest will be much easier."
"..."
"What's wrong? Did I say something wrong?"
Leon was puzzled by the strange looks from the directors and asked with a hint of surprise, "We're already in a life-or-death situation. Do you still plan to uphold your credibility with them?"
