Chapter 983: Interception, Obstruction, and Success

"Bai She?"

Looking at the masked man with the Bai She mask sitting in the main seat, the red shadow in the center of the long bone table, whose face was obscured, couldn't help but blink and furrow his brows in confusion. "I heard that before the Cleaning Bureau captured Uxusutu, a new Pillar Deity appeared in the Assembly, and he applied to become the Vice President. Why are you still acting as the interim leader?"

"...?"

After hearing the red shadow's question, the face behind the Bai She mask stiffened slightly, and he promptly bowed his head in deference, reporting, "Your Highness, Lord Dong Ya... Due to the frequent alerts from his Calamity Avoidance Truth, he voluntarily proposed to halt all activities in the Western Carleva Kingdom during the last Assembly."

"But our actions in the Western Carleva Kingdom have already reached the final stage. After a vote, most members believed that we shouldn't give up this great opportunity and could continue trying."

"And then?"

Hearing this, the red shadow in the center of the long table frowned and asked with a hint of dissatisfaction, "Because you disagreed with him, he directly refused to participate in subsequent Assemblies, and even during such an important time of communication with Old Earth, he insisted on not showing up?"

"Your Highness, Lord Dong Ya's absence is for a reason."

After a quick glance at the red shadow's expression, the corners of the Bai She mask's mouth curled up, and he spoke up in explanation, "Before Lord Dong Ya's promotion to Pillar Deity, he was swallowed by the Deity of Food of the Cleaning Bureau and was constantly eroded by the fear authority controlled by the other party. He nearly died in the Deity of Food's stomach, so he's... more cautious about the Deity of Food."

After pausing deliberately to let the red shadow understand that the word he wanted to use wasn't 'cautious,' Bai She continued, "In the subsequent actions in the Glacial Plain Country and the Shamaness Country, Lord Dong Ya encountered the Deity of Food twice. The first time, he not only witnessed the Deity of Food swallowing Xuebei but was also caught in the battle between the Deity of Food and the Earth Scion, the potential reaction made him hesitate.

As for the second time, he was trapped in Lord Uxusutu's Bedtime Story and was repeatedly threatened and intimidated by the Deity of Food. In the end, he... evacuated early, narrowly escaping the Deity of Food's cruel murder."

In front of the top leader, Bai She subtly exposed the dark history of the current head of the department, and then sincerely spoke up in defense, "After escaping death several times, Lord Dong Ya became highly cautious in his actions. He directly rejected the cooperation invitation from the representatives of the Dead World, successfully avoiding the Cleaning Bureau's massacre of the Dead World.

Although the Cleaning Bureau later conquered the entire Dead World and killed all the Dead World masters in one go, establishing the Underworld Branch and starting to resurrect a large number of deceased cleaning agents, Lord Dong Ya's Calamity Avoidance Truth indeed helped us avoid the harm caused by the Deity of Food.

So, we still respect Lord Dong Ya's opinions, but this opportunity is indeed too good. Everyone unanimously believes that we shouldn't give up such a favorable situation, so we might have offended him by disregarding his good intentions."

"...?"

Alright then...

After listening to Bai She's "explanation," which was so unconvincing that he didn't even bother to put on an act, the red shadow surveyed the surroundings and scrutinized the expressions of the members of the Extermination King's Assembly. He couldn't help but nod in resignation.

It seems that Lord Dong Ya isn't well-liked... Bai She is obviously trying to report my misdeeds to you, and these people actually look like they agree. Not a single one stands up to speak for him.

"If Lord Dong Ya doesn't want to come, then forget it. I'll let Bai She convey the rest of what I have to say today."

Understanding that the new vice president couldn't gain the support of the members, the usually gentle red shadow didn't say anything further. He tacitly approved Bai She's resumption of leadership over the Extermination King's Assembly and then spoke with an unusually solemn expression, "Recently, in the time vortex of Old Earth, we encountered people from the Cleaning Bureau. They fought with our past selves in the Black King's palace, forcefully killing our past selves and seizing a large piece of Life Fragment, enough to extend the lifespan of all humans in the present world by about forty years.

So, it's estimated that after some time, the Virgo Director and the Scorpio Director of the Cleaning Bureau will return to the present world with that portion of the Life Fragment and start helping the entire human race increase their lifespan limit."

What?!

Upon hearing the red shadow's announcement, the members of the Extermination King's Assembly were astonished, and Bai She's expression changed dramatically.

For a true deity who theoretically possesses infinite lifespan, these forty years are insignificant. But for humans, whose maximum lifespan is just over one hundred and fifty years, these forty years are of extraordinary significance, enough to significantly advance many cleaning agents!

Especially that Deity of Food, at an age of not yet twenty, he has already reached this level. In the future, he will almost certainly become another Third-Generation Director. And if a Third-Generation Director appears who lives for a full two hundred years and has the Deity of Food's predilection...

Then this ten-thousand-god long table where we hold our meetings can be directly renamed the Deity of Food's dining table!

After envisioning such a terrifying future, all the true deities present tensed up. Those who had been executed by Lyon in the past turned pale instantly.

"Your Majesty, the Herald of Red!"

The old woman with the monkey mask on her left hand, Baisha, stood up from her seat with a killing intent in her eyes. "We will definitely stop the two directors of the Cleanup Bureau. We won't let them return to the mortal world!"

"Yes!"

Another true god wearing a monkey mask stood up, his eyes full of ferocity as he looked around. His voice was cold and stern as he spoke, "This time, no one can back down! If the Deity of Food and Drink lives for another fifty years, we're done for!"

"Seconded!"

"I... I'll do it too!"

"It's just two directors. If they're killed, they can still be resurrected after a few decades. What's there to be afraid of?"

"I'm in! Count me in!"

Excellent!

As he watched the true gods stand up one by one, expressing their willingness to stop the two directors even at the cost of their lives, the red shadow on the long table nodded in satisfaction. He then raised his hand and made a gesture as if to say, "You're doing well... But for this matter, we've already asked others to handle it. There's no need for you to directly involve yourselves."

"Huh?"

Amidst the confused gazes of the true gods, the red shadow spoke with a smile in his eyes, "To prevent the Cleanup Bureau from directly using the 'Life' fragment, the Yellow King has fallen into a deep sleep within the Time Vortex. He has cursed the stolen fragment, and only the Capricorn Director's 'Abnormal Purification' secret technique can remove the Yellow King's curse.

Moreover, I and the Green King are chasing after them. Their first stop after returning will undoubtedly be the Paradise Mountain, where they will seek the Capricorn Director of the Cleanup Bureau. The Capricorn Director, who possesses the purification secret technique, can temporarily control a large number of angels who wish to remain awake.

Considering that demons are the best at dealing with angels, we've already contacted the Hundred Tartarus of the Abyss. The task of intercepting the two directors will be left to the demons within the Hundred Tartarus. Your task is to restrain the mortal world and prevent the Cleanup Bureau from sending reinforcements."

Restrain... the mortal world?

After hearing the task assigned by the red shadow, the true gods of the Extermination King's Assembly couldn't help but look at each other in bewilderment. They then turned their gazes towards Baisha, who understood their meaning. Baisha cautiously asked, "Your Majesty, the Herald of Red, what exactly do you mean by restraining the mortal world?"

"Stop the Deity of Food and Drink."

The Herald of Red's figure trembled slightly, and he looked at them with confusion in his eyes as he muttered, "For some reason, that Deity of Food and Drink is very popular in the Hundred Tartarus of the Abyss. Many demons admire him, and some even worship his statue.

Even the Gluttony Deity of the Gluttony Prison has vacated his throne and taken the first seat on the left, indicating that if the Deity of Food and Drink is willing to become a demon after his death, he is willing to give up his position.

Due to this special situation, I and the Green King are worried that his arrival at Paradise Mountain will influence the actions of the demons in the Hundred Tartarus. So, we've decided to try to keep him in the mortal world, and that's where you come in. You need to stop him..."

As he spoke, he noticed that the true gods had all quietly returned to their seats, their eyes lowered and their hearts seemingly filled with dread, as if afraid of being called out by a teacher. The usually good-tempered Herald of Red suddenly darkened, and he rarely lost his temper, his eyes flashing with anger as he said, "Listen up! This is not a task for any one of you, but for all of you! No refusals allowed!"

"...

"No matter what, you must hold him back for me! Don't let him lead the team to support Paradise Mountain!"

"...

"It's fine to let the other directors and the Zodiac Directors go, but you must stop the Deity of Food and Drink!"

"...

"At the very least, hold him back for a short while, make him arrive a little later..."

"...

"...

"...Even now, you still won't agree?"

Looking at the true gods around the long table, their heads lowered, necks tucked in, and skin hardened, they remained silent. The red shadow on the table couldn't help but feel perplexed and glared at Baisha, who was also looking down.

Isn't it a bit much for you to come and tattle on me?

Dong Ya, the Vice-President, may have been a bit unpopular, but he has faced off against the God of Food several times and managed to escape death each time. Yet, after hearing the mission, this snake-like creature didn't even dare to respond, and still had the audacity to act strangely in front of Dong Ya?

Oh no...

Feeling the increasingly malevolent gaze of the red shadow and the sudden surge of pressure, Bai She, whose scalp was tightening, gritted her teeth, stomped her feet, and stood up. With a determined expression, she raised her hand and declared:

"We can take on the Hundred Prisons of the Abyss!"

"What?!?!"

"Yes, yes, yes!"

Under the bewildered gaze of the red shadow, upon hearing Bai She's proposal, the true gods who had just wanted to shrink into their chairs suddenly straightened their backs, puffed out their chests, and spoke out in agreement with fervor:

"It's just a group of angels. I'm willing to go to Heavenly Mountain!"

"Heavenly Mountain is a suitable choice. I'm actually quite skilled at dealing with angels."

"Such an important task shouldn't be left to the demons. We should handle it ourselves!"

"Yes, yes."

"Let's do it! Count me in!"

"..."

Seeing Bai She's declaration and the enthusiastic support of the other members of the Extermination King's Assembly, the red shadow shook violently twice. Then, with a look of disbelief, it reminded them:

"Don't underestimate Heavenly Mountain. Those polluted angels will kill anyone they see, and their numbers are almost infinite. Even true gods can easily be overwhelmed and crushed to death. It's more appropriate for the demons to handle this..."

"We can do it too!"

"It's not a question of whether we can or can't!"

The red shadow, with a pained expression, said:

"Director Capricorn possesses a purification secret art that can keep angels lucid. So, he can approach the polluted angels without danger, but it would be difficult for you to pursue and kill him..."

"We can!"

The elderly woman who had stood up first took a deep breath and promised with a flushed face:

"Your Majesty, the Herald of Red! If you're worried, we can go there right now! We can eliminate Director Capricorn in advance!"

Hearing the words of the elderly woman with the monkey-like appearance, the true gods recalled the dangers of Heavenly Mountain, and their hearts wavered slightly. But then, thinking of the other side of the scale, the God of Food, they gritted their teeth and stood up, joining in the room, made them declare:

"The monkey-faced woman is right! We can do it too!"

"We're not inferior to the demons of the Hundred Prisons of the Abyss!"

"Let's do it! Count me in!"

"..."

You guys are really something...

Seeing that they would rather fight a million angels than go against the God of Food, the red shadow couldn't help but twitch. Then, with a toothache, it waved its hand to stop them:

"It's fine if you want to eliminate Director Capricorn in advance, but first, let's not discuss whether you can do it or not. If you really do eliminate Director Capricorn, then Director Scorpio and Director Virgo, who possess the 'Fragment of Life', may not go to Heavenly Mountain first. So, it's better not to rush... And if you really want to exchange tasks, it's not impossible..."

At this point, seeing the gods secretly sighing in relief, the red shadow couldn't help but ask:

"Are you really that afraid of him? You'd rather risk being polluted by the 'Pus of Evil' and fight a million crazed angels than go against the God of Food?"

"..."

Of course!

Hearing the red shadow's words, the members of the Extermination King's Assembly looked at each other and saw the affirmation in each other's eyes.

Is there even a need to say it? Compared to being polluted by the 'Pus of Evil' and fighting a million crazed angels, the God of Food is indeed more terrifying!

After all, even if those angels have gone mad, they are still beasts that have lost their sanity. But when the God of Food looks at us, it's as if he's looking at pigs in a pen, and when he mentions us, he counts us by the 'head'!

"Alright..."

Seeing that the true gods didn't directly admit it but implicitly agreed, the red shadow couldn't help but nod in resignation. However, just as it was about to retract the order and assign the task to the Extermination King's Assembly, a deep, muffled bell rang from directly above.

This... It's done?!?!?!

Looking up at the bone clock on the top of the long table, after the last bit of white completely faded away, a surge of excitement appeared in Bai She's eyes, and she reported with joy:

"Your Majesty, the Herald of Red! Our plan has succeeded! From now on, the Palace of Observation can no longer stop true gods from descending into the mortal world!"
