Chapter 996: I'm Not Extreme
Chapter 996: I'm Not Extreme
Huh?!
Wait a second, is your train of thought off here?
The group of over sixty deities felt their hearts nearly shatter as they sensed the sudden surge of murderous aura from the Goddess of Food, so intense that it seemed to touch upon the threshold of the 'Slaughter' authority. Just as they were about to be pulled back, Lyon, the very person who had caused all this, spoke in disbelief:
"Did you even understand what I'm saying? We can..."
"You can block the Origin Deity Platform, keep the Director here, and prevent her from returning to the mortal world. That way, the Palace of Observation will never be able to stop the deities from entering and exiting."
Lyon, holding thirty-odd 'Fear' authorities in his right hand, tugged the deities back while casually replying:
"And I think that after the Palace of Observation is broken, you'll definitely go to the mortal world to cause trouble. So, why not just get rid of all of you now... What? Is there a problem with my logic?"
Is there a problem...? The problem is huge!
Looking at the deities being pulled back, White Snake couldn't help but exclaim:
"Even if you get rid of all of us, you still can't stop the deities from entering the mortal world! There are so many other deities besides us!"
"I'll just go and catch them, then."
"Huh?"
"No, I mean, do you even understand what I'm saying?"
Looking at Lyon's nonchalant expression, White Snake felt the need to remind him again:
"There are more deities than just us! Besides us, there are the Gluttony Deities in the Hundred Tartarus, the angels in the Heavenly Mountain who have been corrupted, the deities in the Spirit Realm, and the Outer Gods who occasionally come from the Star Realm. You..."
"I said, I'll just go and catch them."
"Huh?"
"No, I mean, do you even realize what you're saying?"
Amidst the stunned gazes of the deities, Lyon glanced at the light ball containing the names of the Serpent Directors and casually responded:
"There are only thirteen major and minor planes surrounding the mortal world, including the Spirit Realm, Dream Realm, Moon Realm, Beast Garden, and the four shattered realms of Chaos, Order, Life, and Death. I'm not even twenty years old this year, and I can probably live for another hundred and thirty years. That's more than enough time to catch them one by one.
Well, even in the worst-case scenario, if I catch a deity from each plane every ten years, by the time I die, I'll have emptied them all... So, the Palace of Observation is actually not that important. I'll just get rid of all of you, and then there won't be any need for the Palace of Observation."
"What?!?!"
As Lyon spoke these words with such nonchalance, an indescribable sense of suffocation quickly spread, leaving the sixty-plus deities momentarily speechless, their terrified screams unconsciously stopping.
If these words had come from anyone else, they would have been dismissed as the ramblings of a madman. But when these chilling words came from the Goddess of Food, no one could doubt their sincerity... because he could make it happen!
Seeing the Original Clay Tablet, where the deities were struggling, being dragged back bit by bit, White Snake couldn't help but lower her arms, her eyes filled with powerlessness.
"You... This world... This world still needs deities. You can't be so extreme..."
"I'm not being extreme."
Feeling the 'Heart Lake' authority gradually strengthening due to the collapse of the deities' will, Lyon couldn't help but smirk, nodding towards the 'useful' deities tied up behind him.
"Before taking action, didn't I already keep the potentially useful deities? Moreover, what's dying are the deities, not the authorities. If I accidentally kill the wrong one, I can always find someone to make up for it, right?"
"But... but that will result in casualties!"
Looking at Lyon, who was completely indifferent to her pleas, Bai She, almost at the brink of despair, clung to her last hope and tried to persuade him, "With a face as small as yours, even with your strength, it would take at least a hundred years to capture Immortals, maybe even several decades. During this time, without the protection of the Palace of Observation, there will undoubtedly be massive casualties in the mortal realm. So, you can compromise for now..."
"I'm not interested."
Using his stronger right hand, Lyon pulled over thirty Immortals closer, then selected a few of the nearest ones. After identifying their respective powers, a layer of gray mist instantly covered his forehead, and he directly smashed his head into them.
In the next moment, gray mist enveloped the area.
The [Death] power, second only to the Pillar God of Truth, suddenly exploded, and with the [I Am the End of Death]'s deadly effect, the five Immortals who were locked onto didn't even have a chance to scream before they were sent into eternal slumber.
"When I was weak, I compromised with others. Now that I've become stronger, if I compromise with you, wouldn't it be as if my growth was for nothing?"
"..."
...
Almost there.
Feeling the determination he had shown, and seeing the hearts around him completely shattered, Lyon couldn't help but close his eyes briefly. Then, utilizing the power extracted from the [Heart Lake] ability, he instantly pushed the [Pseudo-Illusion] ability to its limit.
Accompanied by an imperceptible wave, "Lyon," with each hand holding nearly thirty Immortals, slightly relaxed while maintaining his original posture. His gaze swept coldly over the surrounding Immortals who had been pulled over, as if identifying the next target to be killed.
At the same time, a more realistic shadow emerged from behind "Lyon" and gracefully moved towards the direction of Bai She and Dong Ya.
The Serpent Director, of course, would never give up. After all, the revival of the Eastern Carleva Kingdom's 120 million citizens depended on him. Similarly, the Source God Platform couldn't be sealed either.
In the future, when he began to capture Immortals on a large scale, he would undoubtedly face fierce retaliation from the Immortals. Without the protection of the Palace of Observation to prevent the Immortals from 'entering' the mortal realm, there would definitely be massive casualties.
Therefore, Dong Ya's two threats had actually hit the mark, as both matters were his weaknesses.
However, the key to 'negotiation' was to hide one's intentions, continuously demonstrate one's willingness to 'harm' the opponent, and most importantly, display one's ability to cause harm, in order to completely shatter the opponent's trust in their own trump cards.
If he showed too much concern, he would immediately be manipulated by Bai She and Dong Ya, forcing him to make concessions in the terms and even be taken advantage of, resulting in the loss of benefits that could have been avoided.
But by displaying a sufficiently tough attitude and a dismissive demeanor, Bai She and Dong Ya would be less likely to take immediate action, giving him the opportunity to make a move and seize what he wanted... just like now!
"That's not right!"
Relying on the highly targeted Truth, Dong Ya vaguely sensed something approaching and immediately realized that Lyon's behavior had been strange. He reacted swiftly, screaming as he began to retreat desperately.
However, before Dong Ya could finish speaking, Lyon, having enhanced his [Pseudo-Illusion] and stealthily approached, stretched out his two hands covered in Root Color and violently tore through the heavy obstacles set up by [Calamity Avoidance]. He grabbed Bai She's neck and twisted it with all his might!
