Chapter 902: A Great Harvest
Chapter 902: A Great Harvest
"You mean, our plan might have been discovered by the Faceless One?" After hearing the words of the Archery Director, Taurus, who was assisting the Third Generation Bureau Chief, couldn't help but wipe away his sweat. He then furrowed his brows and asked in a serious tone, "What if they refuse to come in, no matter what? We might have to force our way in, but with our current situation..."
Interrupting Taurus, the Cancer Director, with his protruding belly, smiled and said confidently, "Aquarius, with just a quarter of his soul, completely eliminated a Dead Realm Lord, and even severely injured the Mountain Patrol Woman and the Flesh-receiving Doe. He also managed to kill the strongest First Death. Now..."
"It wasn't me who killed him!" A dull protest came from the coffin carried by the Pisces Director.
"The First Death most likely died due to internal strife and has nothing to do with me. I didn't kill him!"
"Alright, let's assume it has nothing to do with you." Without arguing with Lyon, the Cancer Director nodded in agreement and continued with a cheerful analysis, "In any case, among the Dead Realm Lords, only the Engraver, the Faceless One, the Mountain Patrol Woman, and the First Death have reached the Pillar Deity level. Aside from the ordinary Overlords, there are also the Flesh-receiving Doe and the Crying Doll, who control multiple locations and are slightly weaker than the Pillar Deity level, known as 'Strong Overlords.'
In a one-on-one situation, they are slightly weaker than us Directors, but they are still a cut above most Zodiac Bureau Chiefs. Now, these most troublesome opponents have been severely weakened by Aquarius. Among the Pillar Deity level, one is gone, and one is heavily injured. The same goes for the Strong Overlords, who are almost at the Pillar Deity level, with one eliminated and one severely injured.
Given the current power balance, even though each of us has our issues, we might be at a significant disadvantage when facing the Dead Realm Lords. However, our chances of victory are still over eighty percent!"
"But it's not just a matter of having a chance of winning..." Hearing this, Taurus sighed and looked at the cheerful Cancer Director with a complex expression. "I and Pisces only have soul-related issues, and at most, we'll suffer severe injuries if we fight. But your secret arts and the Archery Director's consume your lifespans. With the limited time you have left, if you engage in a direct confrontation, you might..."
"It's just a matter of dying a few years earlier; it's not a big deal." Cancer Director patted his large belly and said with a smile, "I don't really care anyway. During the last Five Palaces selection, I also found a few suitable candidates to inherit my secret arts. Although they're not as good as Aquarius, I'm not worried about the Cancer Palace being without a successor. Dying is not something to be afraid of... What do you think?"
"I have no objections." Looking at the Cancer Director's gaze, which carried a hint of subtle provocation, the Archery Director couldn't help but shake his head in resignation. Then, with a calm expression, he replied, "We might die, but it's worth the risk. We can fight."
"You two... you two..." Glancing at the two old friends who had reached the end of their lives and seeing their determined expressions, Taurus felt a slight twinge of emotion, unable to finish his sentence twice in a row.
Meanwhile, the Third Generation Elder, who was busy throwing divine corpses into the pot, kicked the coffin containing Lyon away and, taking advantage of the moment, gave a thumbs-up, expressing his approval. "You two are not bad! Your abilities may not be the best, but your courage is decent. The Purge Bureau in your hands has been a mess, but it hasn't completely fallen apart."
"Your abilities are indeed a bit lacking... Hmm... I might have misunderstood you in the past. You guys are capable, just not in terms of raw power."
"..."
"It's not that our abilities are inferior, we can't compare to you and the previous generation of Purifiers, but do you have to emphasize it three times in one sentence?" The Capricorn Director and the other directors were taken aback by the heartfelt "praise" from GenSan. The Taurus Director, about to lose two old friends forever, couldn't hold back his anger and interrupted, "GenSan! You always say such things..."
"I'm just speaking the truth."
Interrupting the Taurus Director, GenSan kicked Lyon's coffin again, and as curses and exclamations sounded from within, he pointed to his head with a smirk and explained, "If your abilities were up to par, you would've realized you were surrounded long ago."
"Surrounded?" The directors were momentarily stunned, then looked up in the direction GenSan was pointing.
To their shock, above the dense fog of the Sage's Graveyard, several pale lands, distinct from the sky's color, were rising in a spectacular manner, merging at the center of the sky, completely enveloping the entire graveyard, blocking off all possible escape routes!
...
What a bountiful harvest!!!
The Purge Bureau directors, gazing up from within the Sage's Graveyard, their eyes filled with astonishment, and the Death Realm Overlords who had participated in the encirclement, couldn't help but reveal their genuine delight.
Not a single mistake, every move, every detail, was perfectly executed!
They had only hoped to capture the God of Food and deal with the two directors protecting him, but to their surprise, there were four directors in the Sage's Graveyard! And even better, two of them were old and frail, exuding death energy, while the other two had peculiar souls, filled with flaws!
Facing the Death Realm Overlords, experts in death and souls, these problematic directors of the Purge Bureau might not even be able to unleash half their strength. Even the weakest Death Realm Overlord could give them a run for their money! With twelve against four, it would be difficult to lose this battle!
"Attack!"
Looking at the group of weak and invalid characters from the Purge Bureau below, the Faceless Man couldn't help but smirk. Without hesitation, he signaled the Death Realm Overlords to launch a decisive and overwhelming assault on the Sage's Graveyard.
"Boom!"
As the Faceless Man lowered his raised arm, raven feathers darkened the sky, and the Yellow Springs reversed. A colossal palace, constructed from countless white bones, emerged from the depths of the ink-black forest, adorned with hanging corpses.
Immediately, the music for sending the departed into their coffins began to play. Countless deceased souls, stripped of their physical forms and flesh, accompanied by tens of thousands of ancient tombstones, formed an endless tide of corpses. With pale blue lights that scorched souls, they flooded into the serene graveyard, turning it into an ocean of death.
"..."
Wow...
The directors exchanged glances, their eyes filled with joy, as they witnessed the surrounding sea of death, the endless wave of deceased souls, and the Death Realm Overlords charging towards them.
This was indeed a bountiful harvest!!!
