A faint scent of blood lingered in the air, as everyone retreated once more, bracing for the plan’s failure.
"How is the evacuation of the population going?"
"How can you evacuate such a huge city in just one or two days?"
However, at that very mont, everyone heard a chilling "heeheehee" of laughter!
This laughter, chanical and ice-cold, ca from the wooden City God Temple, "hee" "heehee" "heehee" "heeheehee," growing louder and louder, like so sort of taunting from a resentful infant, causing everyone present to shudder involuntarily.
"Do we have to do this?" Old Lu wiped the cold sweat from his back. "Why make it so scary?"
And with the appearance of this laughter, the spores in the Blood Pool began to burst one after the other, dense mold, moss, and spores--grainy, flaky, scale-like--exploded, revealing a red and green luster inside.
"Retreat, hurry up and retreat! Hey, you two turtles, hurry and retreat!"
Even the two turtles, frightened by that "heehee" laughter, quickly scrambled away. This place was just too terrifying.
The group hastily retreated about five hundred ters before several Investigators climbed a tall building to get a clear picture of what was happening in the direction of the Blood Pool.
That "heeheehee" laughter seed to be toying with its opponent. The spores continuously withered and exploded one after another, revealing bizarre figures in the colorful halos.
And the tree in the middle of the Blood Pool seed to be controlled, caught in a dilemma between wanting to pull away and being unable to escape.
"This laughter, it shouldn’t be coming from ’The Ga,’ right? It wouldn’t be so perverted," mumbled Li Qingshan. "Even on the statues of the Emperor of Heaven, there’s no presence of ’The Ga.’"
"It’s definitely ’Delusion,’" said a soldier from Blue Star, shaking his head. "Only a Demon God like ’Delusion’ would have such a twisted sense of humor. That’s the spherical statue that fell to the ground."
"Do you not feel hatred for it?" asked Li Qingshan. "After all, it didn’t die and has beco a... tool?"
"Hate, of course I hate," the young soldier recalled the past struggles with ’Delusion’ and sighed. "But if ’Delusion’ could be controlled and used as a tool, it might not be such a bad thing. It truly is a powerful Demon God."
"Yes, even ’The Ga’ had to rely on its backing to defeat ’Delusion.’ This battle is essentially a struggle between villains," Li Qingshan said, sowhat enlightened.
"Wait... By that logic, isn’t the City God Temple the real weapon of mass destruction? Facing any unbeatable evil entity, just throw the City God Temple at it, and ’Delusion’ would crawl out!"
The ongoing battle was intense, and the Investigators only heard the "heehee" laughter; as for the bizarre scene inside the Blood Pool... countless indistinct tentacles, hideous and terrifying, those absurd laughs, just hearing a phrase of them could make a sane person collapse into madness, turning into a lunatic.
Even several S-class Investigators could no longer bear it and started to block their own hearing.
But the tree was overwheld by the one-sidedness of the laughter.
After about 15 minutes, the entire Blood Pool disappeared, all the flesh and blood having been sucked into the City God Temple.
The crisis... resolved!
But before anyone could relax their guard, that "heeheehee" piercing laughter sounded again, from behind them.
The laughter ca in waves, and even the heartbeat uncontrollably synchronized with it, blood circulation rapidly increased, and muscles throughout the body involuntarily twitched.
Just as the heartbeats reached their peak, the laughter abruptly stopped.
"Ah!" Lu Tianming’s eyes widened as his body lurched heavily, panting deeply, sweat soaking his shirt.
Even an S-class Investigator was too frail in the face of a true Demon God.
But upon checking, it seed like nothing had happened.
"Damn, I thought I was gonna die."
Old Lu rolled his eyes and clutched his chest, sighing, "What’s this about, a warning not to use it as a hitman? Or is it saying we should bring in more monsters for it to toy with? Truly a Demon God of madness."
In comparison, ’The Ga’ seed like the genteel, lovely, yet sowhat aloof girl next door.
Glancing at his watch again, he saw that capturing this "lifeless beauty" only rewarded a paltry 3 points, aning most of the credit went to the one who had just made a move. The idea of using it to freeload for rewards could not be realized.
"Whatever, it’s better this way. More formidable opponents should be left for those Demon Gods to deal with; we just have to take down the small fries," Old Lu relaxed his spirit and turned around, laughing loudly, "Gentlen, the major trouble is solved. Next, let’s figure out how to take control of this city!"
...
(PS: Does this Chapter seem like things are back to normal?)
