Chapter 372: 0314 Lack of Oxygen Can Make People Dumb (Part 2)_1
You finally noticed.
Hearing the threat of the Goddess of Fortune, Leon furrowed his brow slightly but instead released a sigh of relief internally.
Since the Watcher’s Palace would block the presence of all "non-human" beings from entering the world, coupled with a similar appearance making it easier to gain belief compared to an aberration, most True Gods, upon descending, would adapt their bodies to be more "compatible" with the world’s rules by appearing with human form and shell, reducing the repulsion from the Watcher’s Palace.
But ultimately, True Gods were still not purely flesh and blood beings and were almost impossible to kill through such ans. If the Goddess of Fortune really "died" from lack of oxygen, she would rely lose the physical body she possessed. Once free from human corporeal influence, the chaotic soul would imdiately return to normal.
Moreover, apart from this, the situation of Senior Tom and Senior Emma was also dire; they would likely suffocate to death before the Goddess of Fortune’s body could die from lack of oxygen. The longer this stalemate continued, the more dangerous it beca. They had to coax her into leaving as soon as possible.
*The problem was that when you were in the "unyielding upper hand," there was no need to negotiate with her; rashly speaking to drive her away would only arouse her suspicion, even risk being discovered in bluffing*. Then everything would be over.
So the only solution now was to "encircle three sides and leave one open," exposing a flaw to give her a "card" to negotiate with, allowing her to find a "way out" herself, then narrowly escape through this escape route.
However, the experience of lack of oxygen magnified by thirty thousand tis seed to also affect the Goddess of Fortune’s mind. He had tried to hint several tis, yet she failed to discover this left-way escape route. *If she couldn’t even catch a direct hint from the eyes, he would really have to take the risk to drive her away*.
...
"You threaten ?"
Facing the long-awaited resistance, Leon, fully imrsed in the role, used the remaining drunkenness, narrowed his eyes, and said coldly,
"You can just kill them off and see if I care!"
Moved, his soul moved!
Seeing Leon, though still sturdy, slightly waver involuntarily, showing a faint chaos brought by a lie in the soul, the Goddess of Fortune finally found a way out and was overjoyed, hurriedly grabbing this lifesaving straw, and eagerly spoke,
"Lies! I saw lies in your soul! You’re lying!"
Hearing the words of the Goddess of Fortune, the "aware of his slip" Leon’s cheek twitched slightly, revealing an expression of frustration in his eyes, deeply hidden yet clearly visible to the Goddess of Fortune.
"Though I don’t know what you’re planning, putting in so much effort to infiltrate the Purification Bureau, your purpose must not be simple, and absolutely not allowed any error!"
Capturing the extrely subtle change in Leon’s expression and feeling that no one could act to this degree, the Goddess of Fortune finally let her guard down completely, weakly yet not without pride, she said,
"Genuinely deciding success or failure, it’s often not power but wisdom! Old Soil person, you wouldn’t want to be targeted by the Purification Bureau and expose your identity, would you?"
"..."
Seeing Leon, whose expression changed to one of unpredictable shade, clearly weighing within himself whether to kill her, the Goddess of Fortune feared driving him into choosing a mutual destruction. She quickly restrained her smug look, then suggested with a gentle expression,
"Old Soil person, like I said earlier, we are not necessarily enemies. The reason we got to this point is simply that I happened to stumble upon your infiltration, yet our interests and goals are not conflicting and could even be cooperative!"
"..."
Seeing Leon who remained silent and unmoved by her words, the Goddess of Fortune couldn’t help but tense up and quickly explained,
"Of course, even if you don’t want to cooperate, it’s alright. As long as you release your asures and let
go, I can imdiately swear by my Authority to not reveal today’s events. You can continue to hide in the Purification Bureau. How does that sound?"
"..."
"Not enough!"
After silently counting to twenty in his mind, using this deliberately left gap to show his internal "struggle," Leon furrowed his brow tightly, displaying full reluctance, and said,
"Besides that, you have to help
eliminate all doubts, at least providing a reasonable explanation. Otherwise, three Cleaners who lost the ability to resist yet mysteriously escaped from your hands would still appear very suspicious!"
"This... is also possible!"
Hearing Leon’s request, the Goddess of Fortune bit her lip, pulled out a broken pink trident, and stabbed it hard into her left arm, staining it with a lot of blood. She then swung the trident to cut off half of her serpentine tail.
"This is the weapon of the Lord of Lustful Dreams, and I happened to enter through the Dreamrealm, making it an appropriate excuse for you guys ’surviving’ from my hand."
With the broken trident, pinning the severed tail to the ground, the pale-faced Goddess of Fortune weakly said,
"When the Purification Bureau starts its investigation, they will know he was here from the sight of this item and assu that, angered by multiple forced entries into the Dreamrealm, the patrolling Lord of Lustful Dreams attacked
after you stalled , forcing
to escape injured. I might even go for a fight with him upon my return from the Dreamrealm, and as for you, just pretend to be unconscious and claim you know nothing... do you think this explanation works?"
"..."
6.
Seeing the Goddess of Fortune who, without a word, directly severed her tail and prepared to go through with the act by returning to battle the Lord, Leon couldn’t help but give her a thumbs-up internally, then frowned and nodded, saying,
"It’ll do... just make sure to swear to everything!"
"I will, I will!"
As the Goddess of Fortune, according to Leon’s request, swore by her Authority to ensure no leaks and affird her commitnt to fight the Lord of Lustful Dreams, she saw a slightly eased expression on Leon’s face and timidly reminded,
"Then the things on , do you..."
"Co over here."
"Huh?"
"Stop wasting ti, co over here!"
Appropriately displaying the annoyance brought by "forced compromise" and the impatience from this anger, Leon reached out to tap the forehead of the Goddess of Fortune forcefully and then gently knocked the cufflinks hidden in his mouth with his Tongue.
Following that, from a dozen mirror surfaces within the Erald Valley broken open, a large amount of oxygen was quietly released. At the sa ti, the isolated [Dream of Verdant Green] was opened, quickly flooding the area with oxygen.
A tap on the forehead is all that is needed?
Not feeling any special energy fluctuation from this tap, the suspicious Goddess of Fortune was about to ask further when she felt her body suddenly lighten.
After that unassuming tap, her already overwheld body felt utterly relieved, like a traveler in a desert for ten days finally encountering heavy rain.
*So subtly concealed and yet extrely lethal... truly a terrifying thod...*
Glancing fearfully at Leon’s right hand, having brushed against the brink of life and death, the Goddess of Fortune wanted nothing more than to linger a mont longer. She imdiately forced open the Dreamrealm, dumping over twenty thousand of herself into it without a second thought and swiftly turned to leave!
*What a damned misfortune! I just wanted to capture a Level Three Cleanser to interrogate about the toad, but unexpectedly ended up touching a big fish from Old Soil. Not only did I lose a Holy Spirit, but nearly lost my own life as well!*
*This damned world is far too deep of water. I’m never coming back!*
