The Whale in the Mountains
Chapter 623 No Intention of Being Enemies
It was a middle-aged woman dressed in a white robe, with fair skin and a plump, wealthy appearance.
Especially her square face with large ears gave off an almost androgynous feeling.
"You are Amaterasu?"
Chen Xiao squinted his eyes and asked.
Since it emerged from the Amaterasu Token, it naturally had to be Amaterasu.
Of course, definitely not Amaterasu herself.
"That's right, I am Amaterasu."
The middle-aged woman's lips moved, her expression as calm as still water, without any discernible emotion.
Upon receiving a definitive answer, Chen Xiao's divine sense immediately crushed towards Amaterasu.
Regardless of whether she was an avatar or something else, he would eliminate her first.
However, to Chen Xiao's slight surprise, the Amaterasu avatar that emerged from the Amaterasu Token was not simple either, at least above that stinky toad.
"Mr. Chen, your visit to Dongyang this time is nothing more than to kill the chicken to scare the monkey. You have already killed the Emperor and a group of Dongyang experts, so why must you exterminate us all?"
Amaterasu frowned slightly, and continued, "Moreover, if we really fight, Mr. Chen may not be a match for my Imperial Clan!"
"Heh, whether I am a match or not, we will only know after fighting!"
Chen Xiao said with a sneer.
"Mr. Chen, I will apologize to you for what happened before. Now you have earned my respect with your strength. Please believe me, our Divine Clan does not want to be enemies with Mr. Chen!"
Amaterasu said sincerely.
As she said this, her illusory body was almost crushed to the point of dissipating by the power of divine sense.
Although her strength was above that of the stinky toad, it was not difficult for Chen Xiao to disperse her.
However, seeing that she was speaking sincerely, Chen Xiao withdrew his divine sense and instead said, "You were the ones who went to my territory to be cheap first. It is only natural that I killed them. You didn't manage the rabble under you, and even helped them do evil. Now you say you don't want to be enemies with me?"
"You say you don't want to be and that's that? Where is Chen Xiao's prestige?"
Even if the person in front of him was a figure from mythology, Chen Xiao was not afraid at all.
If you don't give me face, I'll take you on!
"Mr. Chen, to express my apologies, I am willing to clean up this mess you left behind for you."
Amaterasu began to offer her bargaining chip.
It was just a pity that this chip was worthless in Chen Xiao's eyes.
"What's there to clean up in this mess? Do you think I'm worried about stirring up some international dispute? At worst, I'll just destroy the entire Dongyang!"
Chen Xiao said domineeringly.
He was not acting on impulse, but had seriously considered it.
If he were to destroy Dongyang, where should he start… the entire plan had already begun to take shape in his mind.
"Mr. Chen, I do not doubt that you have such ability, but if things really come to that point, a large-scale war will definitely break out, the world will be in chaos, and lives will be lost. The worst affected will be the vast number of ordinary people living at the bottom."
"I believe that is not what Mr. Chen wants to see."
Amaterasu said calmly, and her words were not alarmist.
Chen Xiao could indeed destroy Dongyang, but the whole world knew that Dongyang was just a dog raised by their American daddy.
Even now, there were still American troops stationed within Dongyang's borders.
If Dongyang was destroyed, the United States would definitely not stand idly by.
At that time, a world war would truly be on the verge of breaking out.
Chen Xiao's mind moved slightly, but he still said coldly: "You don't need to use these to threaten me. According to international practice, the first to provoke is the despicable one, and, you don't think I'm some kind of saint, do you?"
"Of course not."
Amaterasu shook her head, "Mr. Chen can of course launch a war… but before that, we, the Dongyang Divine Clan, will do everything possible to prevent things from developing to that point."
Chen Xiao suddenly fell silent, looking at Amaterasu in puzzlement.
After a moment, he asked; "I have already gone this far, why are you Divine Clan still not attacking me? Aren't you supposed to exist to protect Dongyang?"
"Yes, and no."
Amaterasu explained, "What we protect is the common people of Dongyang, not that small group of people. Emperor Kizheng wanted to lay his hands on things that did not belong to him, so he was simply asking for his own destruction. Now that he is dead, there are other members of the Imperial Family who can succeed him. It will not have a big impact on the entire country."
What Amaterasu said made some sense, but the more she said it, the more Chen Xiao could not understand.
Because she was too forbearing, and there must be something fishy about it.
"I need a reason that is convincing enough for me. So far, none of the reasons you have given can convince me."
Chen Xiao stared at Amaterasu, word by word, "What exactly are you Dongyang Imperial Clan up to!"
"Since that is the case, it seems I must tell the truth."
As Chen Xiao expected, there was indeed another hidden reason for Amaterasu's forbearance.
"To be honest, Mr. Chen, until two hours ago, the Divine Clan had not given up on the idea of letting you go."
"The reason why I changed my mind is because I saw the scenes in your dream."
"The scenes in my dream?"
Amaterasu's words left Chen Xiao completely confused.
Then, he remembered something.
"Are you talking about that illusion?"
Amaterasu nodded.
"That's right, because the Qingqiu Illusion that trapped Mr. Chen used the Amaterasu Token, I could see the scenes that Mr. Chen experienced."
"And the greatest talent of the Qing Fox Clan is actually the ability to predict the future through the subconscious of living beings. This talent has also been applied to the Qingqiu Illusion."
"In short, Mr. Chen's experiences in the illusion are likely to be reenacted in reality!"
Hearing this, Chen Xiao's heart skipped a beat.
In fact, ever since he escaped from that Qingqiu Illusion, Chen Xiao had been worried, as if a stuffy breath was stuck in his chest.
He wanted to release this stuffy breath by killing people, but after he had just killed so many people, not only did the situation not improve in the slightest, but it even showed signs of worsening.
Now, hearing what Amaterasu said, Chen Xiao's head was struck by lightning, buzzing.
Because the scenes in that illusion were what he absolutely did not want to see in reality.
"Stop talking nonsense there, spreading alarmist rumors, that kind of thing will never happen!"
Chen Xiao gritted his teeth, and a layer of haze covered his eyes.
"Mr. Chen, please don't be agitated!"
Amaterasu immediately comforted him, "The future that the Qing Fox Clan can foresee is always the worst-case scenario, so what you saw in the illusion is also just the worst-case scenario."
"In fact, those things are not bound to happen."
"That is just the worst case, an extremely small probability event!"
"Not only you, but I also do not want such a thing to happen."
Hearing Amaterasu's explanation did not alleviate the stuffiness in Chen Xiao's chest.
This kind of thing, even if it is a small probability, as long as there is a slight possibility of it happening, Chen Xiao cannot accept it.
But he had to accept it, he could not find a reason for Amaterasu to deceive him.
"Mr. Chen, whether you believe it or not, the Heavenly Dao is about to descend upon this world again. This world needs a hero like you, and it also needs our Dongyang Divine Clan."
"So I sincerely hope that we can join hands to resist foreign enemies together. Do you think this reason is sufficient to explain my previous actions?"
Amaterasu finally asked.
