Foreign Land Reclamation By a Vegetable-growing Skeleton Chapter 1129

Chapter 1129: Chapter 693: It Loves These Sneaky Methods Too Much Chapter 1129: Chapter 693: It Loves These Sneaky Methods Too Much The Little Devil King of the Purgatory Twins was no different from the Great Devil King. They looked exactly alike, hairstyle and all, and their strengths were identical too. When they stood side by side, one could be forgiven for thinking there was a mirror between them. Perhaps the only difference was their personalities.

The Little Devil King of Purgatory had a more lively and extroverted personality, more prone to zipping around and enjoying the thrill of roaming…
So when Dimali quietly approached him with a fragment of God Status, the Little Devil hesitated.

“You're on your own now, right? I have a Blank God Statue, but just one. Do you want to trade?”

The Ancient God's Eye was a remnant of a Divine Tree's burl. It was called the Ancient God's Eye because the burl was shaped like an eye. In reality, there was no difference between it and the rest of the Divine Tree remnants, apart from being easily recognizable, which made it a venue for the consciousness of the Ancient Gods of the Chaos Plane to communicate.

But it was just consciousness communicating; their true forms dared not come, as it was too easy to be taken out all at once. Only one of the Purgatory Twins would dare come alone. Coming together was unthinkable.

Only when one was elsewhere could the other easily escape from here.

It was only the Purgatory Twins who dared come in true form; other Ancient Gods had to use Little Eye Demons in their stead. Little Eye Demons were descendants of the Eye Demon Acron, similar to the relationship between Giant Dragons and the Dragon God.

But Acron was dead, and these unsheltered Little Eye Demons had become masterless Bloodlines. They possessed a very special ability to manifest one's thoughts in another place through a connection of consciousness.

Ancient Gods could capture a Little Eye Demon, bind their consciousness, and let it manifest their thoughts somewhere else, achieving communication from afar without revealing themselves. Even if an enemy killed the Little Eye Demon, the Ancient God wouldn't be affected in the slightest.

This led to an unwritten rule among the Ancient Gods of the Chaos Plane: do not kill wild Little Eye Demons at will. Nobody knew which Ancient God's consciousness they might be bound to, and if they weren't currently bound, one could bind them later, so don't kill recklessly.

This special ability allowed the unsheltered Little Eye Demons to find a new value for survival and ensured the continuation of their race. Although from time to time some unlucky ones were captured and bound, it was negligible compared to the overall population.

Even the Ancient God Hunters like the Purgatory Twins wouldn't kill Little Eye Demons carelessly because if they lost a meeting place like the Ancient God's Eye, who know where those Ancient Gods would hide? And where would he find information about these elusive beings?

The consciousness manifested by Little Eye Demons was biased, and the Little Devil King of Purgatory was unable to discern the true identity through the fluctuations of consciousness–not even if the bound consciousness was that of the Great Devil King of Purgatory.

However, he could distinguish the aura of Little Eye Demons, and the one before him was a frequent and relatively trusted information source, an insider among the Ancient Gods.

This insider among the Ancient Gods had traded some Ancient God clues for difficult-to-obtain items from him, such as the Light of Creation. They had cooperated several times with certain gains, but he had yet to catch any Ancient Gods. He strongly suspected that the insider was deceiving him with outdated information.

But it didn't matter; outdated information was still information, and it was better than searching blindly. Therefore, for the insider's information, the Purgatory would have certain trust, treating it with skepticism as potentially obsolete.

However, something like a Blank God Statue obviously transcended the realm of being 'outdated.' The Little Devil's eyes lit up, and he began to waver.

Did an Ancient God Hunter need a Blank God Statue?

As long as they remained under the shelter of the Abyssal Big Mouth in the Chaos Plane, they didn't need it. But once they left the Chaos Plane and no longer wanted the shelter of the Abyssal Big Mouth, the Blank God Statue became very necessary.

Why wouldn't someone want the shelter of the Abyssal Big Mouth? Heh, that's a good question…

Only one? Then he'd exchange it for himself, hide it away, and bring it out when necessary…

What's considered necessary? Heh, that's a good question…

The Wishing Angel naturally also had the ability to perceive into people's hearts, but it simply hadn't encountered enough 'hearts' before, and was thus fooled by two others who had seen far too many 'hearts.' If Ange met someone with even less experience, then it would have been its turn to take advantage,”Secret delivery.”

“What do you want to exchange for it?” The Little Devil King was tempted.

“My lord, what is the greatest weakness of the Purgatory Twins?” Anthony, Silver Coin, and Negris gathered around Ange and asked.

Drosa wanted to come closer to answer; he knew the Purgatory Twins' greatest weakness was 'they are the weakest pair among all the Ancient God Hunters.' However, before he could speak, Anthony cast a Silence Technique with a flick of his hand.

Although he could break this not-so-strong silence spell, Anthony had made it clear he did not want him to speak, so Drosa prudently kept his mouth shut. Otherwise, he would offend the veterans in the team, and that would make for a difficult future.

Didn't you see how Little Fat Dragon couldn't beat anyone, yet everyone still coddled it? The occasional mockery came only from the veterans in the team. Dare a newcomer do so?

Heh heh, Black Smoke Ring was a prime example. Normally there was nothing wrong, but once they got their chance, they'd be very miserable indeed. Little Snake, on the other hand, was much shrewder.

Ange tilted his head.

“My lord, the greatest weakness of the Purgatory Twins is their ability to switch places with each other,” Anthony said.

Drosa couldn't help himself and broke free from the silence, saying, “That doesn't sound right. Their ability to switch places is their greatest advantage, how could it be their greatest weakness?”

“What if we could locate one of them and attack at the moment they switch?” Anthony asked.

Drosa furrowed his brows. If that was the case, then the target would definitely be in a completely unguarded state, having just escaped danger. With the twins just having arrived at the same place, they momentarily couldn't use their switching ability. It was very possible that they could both be taken down at once.

The Purgatory Twins' most troublesome ability was their switching ability. There was a gap between their strength and that of hunters like Dark Wing and the Goddess of Starfire. If their switching was restricted, it would essentially limit their strongest skill. Considering how dependent they were on their switching ability, it was indeed possible to turn their advantage into a disadvantage.

Ange cocked his head the other way.

“The only thing that could tempt them to take the bait is a Blank God Statue, but it can't be located. Is there any way to make a 'non-blank' God Status look just like a Blank God Statue, yet still be locatable by us at any time?” Anthony finally spoke the reason they all came to see Ange.

However, before he finished speaking, Negris had already jumped up, “Have you all gone mad, suggesting such an idea? Making a Blank God Statue locatable? If you imprint any sort of brand on it, it won't be a Blank God Statue anymore. Its value lies in its blankness, its ownerlessness; any impurity, and it becomes worthless!”

Anthony responded with a wry smile, “We have no choice, we're too far from the Chaos Plane. Without a stronghold there, no matter how many methods we have, we cannot implement them. This is one of the few feasible methods. We don't need to imprint a brand; we just need to remember its energy fluctuation or something similar, to detect it within a certain range. That can work too.”

Ange nodded, then pulled out a Blank God Statue, conjured the Equal Cross, and used the Goddess of Beauty Fist to extricate the Blank God Statue's phantom. He imprinted a brand on the Equal Cross and reflected it back onto the phantom of the Blank God Statue, where the brand was then imprinted.

When the phantom retracted back into the Blank God Statue, the trace of the brand was no longer visible.

“Sss–” Negris sucked in a breath, “That's a bit complex, let me mull it over…”

“So first, you use the Equal Cross to reflect your Soul Brand, just like when you branded Tom? And then reflect that onto the phantom pulled out by the Goddess of Beauty Fist. That phantom is the Enhancing Shadow of the Goddess of Beauty, so you're saying, once the Blank God Statue is enhanced, the brand will activate?”

“However, how can a God Statue be considered enhanced? By attaching a spirit to it? Kvada, if someone attaches their consciousness to it, your brand will activate? Then wouldn't you be able to control them? Isn't that a bit too deceitful?” Negris was excited, his eyes sparkling. He loved this kind of sneaky tactic too much.

PS: I'm pretty much okay now; just a bit of a stuffy nose left. Thanks for your concern.
