Chapter 639: Chapter 299: Sending Away the Disaster Star
When news that the officials had led a team to rescue Li Yelai, who was trapped in the maze within the Great Snow Mountain, reached them,
Jiang Yong exhaled a breath of turbid air, as this was the most dangerous step in the operation.
If the officials became suspicious, it was not just a matter of the undercover mission failing; they might even accidentally kill the Chosen of the Double Gods.
“It was not in vain that we spent such a great price to create the maze.” Jiang Yong thought, feeling somewhat of a sting.
Now that the easily defensible valley had been discovered by the officials, it was highly likely to be turned into an outpost for attacking the Forbidden Zone.
This was a huge loss for the Church.
But all of this could be reclaimed!
He immediately sent this intelligence back to the Main Base, which notified the Execution God Chosen.
Meanwhile, in a forest somewhere in South Asia, a robust man ventured alone into the dangerous jungle.
Here, filled with many poisonous insects and miasma, under the influence of the Void Realm’s power, the jungle became even more bizarre and dangerous. Any intruder, if not careful, would become nourishment for the jungle.
Yet, he entered the miasma dressed only in lightweight clothing, ignoring the assaults from the poisonous insects and snakes.
He walked straight to a dilapidated temple deep in the mountains.
“Prince, Emperor’s Fall has been successfully rescued by the officials, and will soon return to Giant City.” The man sat on a broken pillar in the decrepit temple and spoke, “For now, it seems he has successfully infiltrated Giant City.”
“Very good…” A stone statue within the temple that looked alien spoke, “You have worked hard, Zhu Tu.”
This man was Zhu Tu, an Overlord Level Divine Chosen of the Main Base!
And the one he was speaking to was a higher-ranked Prince of Chaos!
“Have you heard that Emperor’s Fall has become the Chosen of the Double Gods, Prince? Does Lord Blood God care?” Zhu Tu asked, while fiddling with a skeleton finger bone.
“My Lord does not care about the blessing of the Father of Plague. Instead, He is very pleased to let His chosen ones have stronger powers. That will offer Him more exquisite slaughters. The blessing of the Father of Plague will allow Emperor’s Fall to challenge stronger opponents. That is what my Lord likes,” the stone statue replied. “You don’t need to worry either; you have your own strengths. My Lord is equally watching over you.”
“I know…” Zhu Tu nodded: “But Emperor’s Fall really has bad luck.”
“Indeed…” the stone statue also sighed: “The Red Fury and Xue Yin, the Chosen who greeted him, encountered the Eternal Life Faction on the way, and a bloody battle broke out. He was only at the Four Awakenings stage at the time and got swept up into the battle among the Divine Chosen.”
“After returning to the Main Base, he was attacked and nearly killed.”
“He accepted an invitation from Fen Xiao to lead a team to Border City No. 2, where he encountered a trap and nearly perished inside, with most of his subordinates lost.”
“His luck is truly terrible. In this world, there are those favored by fate, and those resented by it. He might just be such a character… If he can grow, he will certainly become the strongest.”
The stone statue lamented, and Zhu Tu said: “Furthermore, every calamity seems to hit us as well.”
“He was forced into war with the Eternal Life Faction, and Red Fury and Xue Yin were killed.”
“At the Main Base, he faced a combined assassination attempt from the Forbidden Zone and humans, leading to heavy losses for the Main Base, even the Treasure Vault was gone, turning into a super-volcano.”
“At Border City No. 2, Fen Xiao died… regardless of whether Fen Xiao was a traitor or not, Emperor’s Fall clearly brings disaster,” Zhu Tu remarked with great emotion.
Since Emperor’s Fall had come to the Church, it wasn’t just his bad luck—The Church had also been suffering alongside him.
Three Divine Chosen had already died; perhaps they were all cursed by him!
Isn’t that just a disaster star?
Of course, such thoughts were only to be shared in private. One could never say such things openly, otherwise Emperor’s Fall might just quit.
Laughter came from the stone statue: “So… it’s better to send such a disaster star into Giant City. You did the right thing. Let us wait and see what kind of calamity Giant City will encounter.”
“What about Fen Xiao?” Zhu Tu asked: “Why did he betray our Lord? Has he repented under the Blood-colored Throne?
“Not yet…” the stone statue paused before responding: “He hasn’t returned to the Blood-colored Throne.”
“How can that be?” Zhu Tu was surprised. As a Blood God Chosen One, even if Zhu Tu committed some act of betrayal, after death, he should be brought before the throne to face the Blood God. The blessing the Blood God had given him was still there; he should not be able to escape this fate. The Divine Chosen were supposed to submit under their deity’s throne, even in death.
“Two possibilities: either he completely betrayed our Lord’s faith and pledged allegiance to another deity, with his soul captured by another deity. The second possibility is that he was obliterated, body and soul! He died at the hands of the Fifth God’s believer, possibly utterly killed by the Fifth God’s power,” the voice of the stone statue carried an air of apprehension.
The oppressive presence of the Fifth God was too strong.
He granted His believers terrible powers they should not possess.
A Chaos Demon deep within the Void Realm was mysteriously attacked, with injuries that were difficult to heal.
This caused countless powerful beings of Chaos to fear, worried that the other side might trace the causal link and attack themselves.
As creatures of Chaos, like the Void Realm Creatures, they could only be exiled, not killed.
Thus, in the Physical Universe, they can act without restraint.
They are like playing a video game: if an account is lost, a character dies, then they simply spend a few hundred years to train a new one.
But the arrows of the Fifth God directly attack their true selves over the internet. They can completely kill them!
Such is the might of the Chaotic Gods!
“The Fifth God… that terrifying being traversing the Sea of Black Mud… which one could it be?” Zhu Tu asked: “That’s a Divine Chosen we’re talking about.”
