Chapter 885: The Faceless One
Chapter 885: The Faceless One
How could this be?!
As the Faceless One hurriedly approached, he witnessed a bizarre sight—Lyon, emerging from the chest of the female mountain patrol officer in a peculiar posture. The Faceless One's steps halted, and the eye sockets on his face suddenly sank, revealing a horrified expression.
"How is this possible? The God of Food should have been captured by the rules of Lingering Mountain. Why did he suddenly disappear and then reappear from the officer's chest? And what is this strange 'parasitic' method?!"
"It's not that hard to understand."
Lyon stretched his neck slightly, then placed his hands behind his head and leaned comfortably against the officer's cold chest. He began to explain leisurely:
"The Heart Lake ability inherently possesses such power. Although I've been relying on the Heart Lake ability to seize strength and suppress you with absolute force, who says I can only overpower you with brute force?
Before I killed that deer, I took advantage of the momentary turmoil in your Heart Lakes and planted seeds in your hearts. Because my Corruption Value was over 70 points, higher than any of you, you couldn't even detect it.
Also, don't bother searching. Although I've weakened now, the Corruption Value of those seeds... well, the Lyon Value is terrifyingly high. With your Corruption Value of only 67 points, even if you tore your soul apart, you wouldn't find them."
"Impossible!"
Seeing the lifeless eyes of the female officer, who seemed to have completely become Lyon's puppet, the Faceless One clenched his teeth. "You're lying! Your soul was just captured by Lingering Mountain! With a weakened Heart Lake ability, you couldn't possibly hide from the Netherworld Overlord's perception of souls!"
"Why couldn't I?"
Feeling the female officer's increasing resistance, Lyon slightly curled his lips and, while intensifying his erosion of her Heart Lake, looked at the Faceless One and said, "If you had just taken the time to understand, you'd know that the full name of the Heart Lake Deity is 'Deity of Illusions and Heart Lake.' The Illusion ability even takes precedence over the Heart Lake ability.
The illusions it creates are so powerful that even the Water Bottle Star Palace, with its support, couldn't see through them. How could you possibly detect them?"
"..."
"Furthermore, in a confrontation between True Gods, it's not just about who falls into the other's ability first, but also a battle of Corruption Values."
As the Faceless One fell silent, Lyon, while riding the female officer in her Heart Lake and pummeling her, accelerated his erosion of her Heart Lake. He struck a victorious pose and continued arrogantly, "Even if Illusion and Heart Lake aren't powerful abilities and would be no match for the three of you head-on, it doesn't mean they're useless. As long as you expose a weakness, these two weak second-rate abilities can still function.
With the support of twenty million souls, I not only shook your Heart Lakes when I appeared but also created enough openings and accumulated a Corruption Value of 73 points. With such a massive Corruption Value, even the weakest ability would possess..."
Lyon's speech was abruptly cut off by an odd curse. His expression changed, and he quickly retracted his head back into the female officer's chest.
In that instant, the officer's cracked palm viciously clawed at her chest, leaving five deep scratches.
"You... Are you all insane?!?!?"
As the Sentinel Girl, who had directly hidden herself in her own heart, refused to come out, her face turned pale with despair. She spun around to face the Incarnated Doe and the Faceless One, who were both bewildered, and shouted angrily:
"He's just a quarter of a soul fragment! And he only has some third-rate abilities. He's not as powerful as he seems, and it's impossible for him to control me instantly!
You... You could have interrupted the possession by attacking my body before he fully entered my Heart Lake. Damn it! You did nothing just now! You just stood there and listened to his nonsense?"
"...?"
Seeing the Sentinel Girl's eyes filled with despair as she screamed hysterically at them, the Incarnated Doe and the Faceless One exchanged a glance, at a loss for words for a moment.
So... Was the God of Food just buying time? Did we fall for it?
"Don't be angry. It's not entirely their fault."
Just then, Lyon's face reappeared, switching between the 【Dirty Mouth】 badges. He spoke sincerely, "People, and even the dead, are naturally inclined to seek benefits and avoid harm... You fell into his trap too quickly and suddenly. They needed to understand the situation and ensure their safety before daring to approach.
And I just told them that they also have my seeds in their hearts. To avoid becoming my mount like you, they'll definitely check themselves first..."
Lyon dodged the Sentinel Girl's attack by retracting his head, then reemerged, sighing. Taking advantage of the Sentinel Girl's emotional turmoil, he continued to erode her Heart Lake while shaking his head in exasperation, "What a temper... Fine, if you don't want to listen, I won't explain... Hey, you're missing!"
You! Me! Me! Aaaaaahhhh!!!
Despite knowing that Lyon was deliberately provoking her, the Sentinel Girl's Heart Lake still trembled violently. She was once again subjected to the invasion of Lyon's soul fragment. Meanwhile, the Faceless One and the Incarnated Doe, now understanding the situation, quickly spoke up:
"Stop! Don't get agitated!"
"Calm down! Stay calm!"
After managing to soothe the enraged Sentinel Girl, the Faceless One quickly assessed the current situation and began to analyze:
The correct version can be read on 6x9x Book Bar.
"Actually, this might not necessarily be a bad thing..."
?!?!?!
Hearing the Faceless One's words, the Sentinel Girl, who had just suppressed her anger, couldn't help but stare wide-eyed, her breathing becoming rapid.
Not a bad thing... Do you even call that human speech? Why don't you trade places and become his mount?
"Calm down! Relax!"
Seeing Lyon's mouth reappear on the Sentinel Girl's chest, the Faceless One quickly gestured for her to keep her Heart Lake stable and maintain suppression over Lyon's soul fragment. Then, fixing his gaze on Lyon, he spoke in a cold tone, "God of Food, regardless of what you say, I'm certain my eyes did not deceive me. The rules of Lingering Mountain definitely struck you just now... Do you remember what your face looks like?"
