The Thai woman looked at the boundless black and brown wasteland with anger surging in her heart.
At this time, even the presence of the Li family's descendants disappeared. Originally, they could track him based on what was left of his scent. But gradually, the breath also disappeared, which meant that the other party ran too far for her to track.
The treasure of the Great Deities Palace was s.n.a.t.c.hed right before her. That was the remnants of the Ancient Demon, that was her chance of reaching Gokudo Path!
Holding the baby with one hand, her body trembled slightly.
After that, the people of the Soul Destroying Alliance came to see the woman's silhouette looking at the distance desolately. They knew immediately that she had lost it.
“It was s.n.a.t.c.hed away just like that. Disgusting.”
“How can Li Xianyu be here? Is the Unparalleled War Spirit here?”
“Look around. There are no more sculptures here. There is only a layer of white sand on the ground.”
Eva Carpe pointed to the white sand on the ground and noticed something wrong. They had left the bronze hall behind them and it could no longer be seen. They had changed directions several times on their way. In this world without any landmarks to guide them, they had lost their way.
Somehow, the sculptures standing in the wasteland had disappeared. There was nothing in the endless wasteland. However, from time to time, white spots could be seen on the ground, which upon closer inspection, turned out to be small heaps of white sand scattered on the ground.
Wright Green leaned over, his fingertips dabbed in the powdery white sand, sniffed, as if thinking of something, and his face became extremely strange.
“This is what's left when the sculptures are crushed,” he said.
Earlier, when Eva Carpe broke a sculpture, Wright noticed the phenomenon of “turning into sand”.
But what did that mean? They did not understand, so they looked at him.
“Look at the state of those white sand branches, and then look at the thickness of their acc.u.mulation…” Wright Green whispered, “We can see two points. First, they were broken by people, and secondly, they were broken not long ago.”
They thought about it, and immediately understood what he meant. They showed some interesting expressions.
If the sculpture had turned into sand by its own accord, there should be some kind of pattern to the white spots. However, there were no patterns to the white spots. It just seemed like a mess.
To form such a distribution, it's probably only possible if the guy who broke the sculpture gathered them together and broke them at once. But who would do such a boring thing?
In addition, the air flow in this s.p.a.ce had been quite chaotic and there was a constant breeze, but the white sand seemed thick and had not yet been blown away, indicating that the white sand had just formed. Combining that with the sudden appearance of the descendant of the Li family…
“There are other people in the s.p.a.ce we are in, and others have entered the s.p.a.ce,” Faul Anderson said in a deep voice.
“It's impossible. Every key opens a different door. If we could cross between s.p.a.ces, what's the meaning of the key?” Gauss Kashub shook his head.
The Great Deities Palace wouldn't bother to play such tricks.
“But the appearance of Li Xianyu is obvious to all,” Eva Carpe said.
“So there's only one possibility…” said Wright Green.
The crowd looked at him.
“The eight s.p.a.ces merged,” the Thai women replied.
This speculation was bold, but it was the most reasonable.
“It's that woman who merged the eight s.p.a.ces, though I don't know how she managed to do it,” the Thai woman added.
“Shall we go back and have a look?” proposed Faul Anderson.
“That woman is dangerous, very dangerous. If you don't want to stumble across any secrets and be killed, you'd better not go back,” the Thai woman reminded.
“You guys are also very dangerous. My child told me that there are some terrible weapons on you. But why didn't you just use it? ” The woman lowered her head and teased the baby in her arms.
Subconsciously, the top S-cla.s.s fighters look at the metal boxes that were handed over to their subordinates.
Each box was two meters long, made of a bright silver super alloy. To open the box, one needed to unlock two locks, one mechanical and one electronic. No mistakes were tolerated. Once the pa.s.scode was wrong even once, the box will screw itself shut and can never be opened. Leaders of European and American families slowly approached the box and looked at Thai women on guard.
“Now there are only two parties here, you and me. If I am not wrong, you guys should be allies. How about we have a frank talk?” After that, the Thai women squinted, “what's your purpose of entering the Great Deities Palace?”
No one answered her, and Eva Carpe and the others were more alert.
“Since I brought it up, I will show my sincerity first.” The Thai woman looked down at the child in her arms. “I think you all know its origin. That's right. It's the Holy Infant. The Holy Infant.”
The other family leaders looked at Wright Green, who frowned. “Didn't it die in the nineties?”
“That's just the official announcement to the world.” The woman said with a smile, “The baby was too difficult to create. How could the Thai demon descendants groups and the American a.s.sociation of Superpowered Beings be willing to destroy it? It had been sealed since that storm in the 1990s. For more than two decades, demon descendant groups in both countries had never stopped studying the Holy Infant. We finally made a breakthrough in the last few years, and we found a way to control the baby. What can I do? Motherly love!” The woman lovingly looked at the baby in her arms, and continued, “It needs a mother. A child without a mother is sad and angry, so it will destroy everything.”
“It seemed like a symbiotic relation,” Eva Carpe whispered to her companions.
“Now that you can control it, will there be a second baby in the future? Who owns the baby? What is its limit?” Wright Green asked several questions in a row.
The Green family was one of the major shareholders of the Dawn Alliance. The Dawn Alliance and a.s.sociation of Superpowered Beings had always been compet.i.tors. If the a.s.sociation managed to get its hands on a “nuclear weapon”, then the Dawn Alliance would be at a disadvantage.
“Obviously it would belong to Thailand. But we have an obligation to help the United States produce another holy infant. The original purpose of the creation plan of the holy baby is to defeat the Unparalleled War Spirit and to be the Second Unparalleled War Spirit. It is the existence that contains the combat power of the Unparalleled War Spirit. What's more powerful than is that it can continuously devour spirits and grow. In theory, it has no upper limit.”
If one were to compare the Unparalleled War Spirit to a nuclear weapon, the creation concept of the holy infant was like a military compet.i.tion between countries. Everyone wanted nuclear weapons.
“Theoretically, a lot of things are possible. If you can exceed the speed of light, you can even reverse time,” said Wright Green.
The Thai woman smiled and ignored his words. “My primary mission of this trip to the Great Deities Palace was not to obtain the treasure of the Great Deities Palace. My real target is the demon descendants who entered the Great Deities Palace.”
“It has reached a critical moment in its cultivation, and is only a step away from maturity. One third of the Chinese demon descendants experts have entered the Great Deities Palace, and there are many experts from all countries like you. There's no better chance than the Great Deities Palace… Oh, don't get me wrong, I am not considering devouring you guys yet.”
“You have strong enough chips in your hands, so I won't try to attack you. But I need even stronger spirits to feed the holy infant, and I need a lot. The Great Deities Palace is the best hunting ground for it. I thought that one from Baoze would enter the Great Deities Palace, so it was a surprise when he didn't enter.”
“But when the ten G.o.ds of Baoze gather here, even the Half-Step Gokudo Path Holy Infant would not be their match. Besides, there is the Unparalleled War Spirit with them.”
It was claimed that when the ten G.o.ds of Baoze gathered, they could face off with even a Gokudo Path expert. Of course, that was the best that they could do. Winning would be impossible.
However, that also meant that if the ten G.o.ds fought together, there would be little chance for a Half-Step Gokudo Path to stand in their way.
“What do you want to say?” Eva Carpe squinted, her pale green pupils flas.h.i.+ng with ideas.
“Alliance.” The Thai woman's eyes fell on the bright silver box. “You didn't use it in such a dangerous situation just now. It must be of special use. You were not even moved by the ancient demon's legacy, which showed that you guys must be plotting something very big.”
“There are two possibilities. One is that you know the secrets of the Great Deities Palace, and the things in the box have other uses here, and the other is that, just like me, you came to the Great Deities Palace for another purpose.”
Eva Carpe and others were silent.
“I prefer the latter. The Great Deities Palace had only been open twice. You can't know much about it.” The Thai woman's mouth turned up. “So what's your real goal?”
“You have obviously already arrived at an answer,” Faul Anderson said quietly
“For a weapon that even a Half-Step Gokudo Path Holy Infant would fear, the target that it was designed to deal with must be extraordinary. At present, among the forces in the Great Deities Palace, those worthy of such a weapon would be the Baoze Ten G.o.ds or the Unparalleled War Spirit.”
She uses the word “fear”, and not just “cautious”. In fact, she had already arrived at an answer. It must be the Unparalleled War Spirit.
“How do you want to form an alliance?” Wright Green probed.
“You help me kill and feed the Holy Infant. In return, I'll help you with the work,” the woman said.
Half-Step Gokudo Path experts were very powerful, but there were many forces entering the Great Deities Palace, and there were too many experts. Even the ten G.o.ds of Baoze would not be able to dominate the entire place.
“No problem.” He nodded, agreeing with his companions in a silent exchange of gazes.
Originally, according to their plan, they were to hide in silence, waiting for the Unparalleled War Spirit to be alone. After all, if Baoze's people were present, their “a.s.sa.s.sination” would not succeed.
Thus, the Murray Family of Great Britain and the Sakurai family from j.a.pan were the spies who had infiltrated the enemy's interior and were closely following the tracks of the Unparalleled War spirit.
In other words, they were going insane as only after entering the Great Deities Palace did they discover that each key opened a different door, and different s.p.a.ces were not connected with each other. Those two families must be so angry.
Now with the joining of the holy infant, they had a much better success rate in their mission.
“What expression are you making?” Li Xianyu looked at Ryder and three senior employees.
The expression of the four smelly men was too familiar. It was the expression that the loser couldn't help but show when he saw the G.o.ddess.
As a man, Li Xianyu was no stranger to such facial expressions.
But… Why are they looking at me like this? Li Xianyu's heart sank.
The power of this ancient demon was the ability to charm, in other words, seduction. In ancient novels, all the fox spirits were proficient in this skill, and they specialized in hooking up with men and doing things behind closed doors.
Now that he had mastered this ability, his abilities to seduce women should be insane. But he didn't expect that his charm would work on both men and women.
Thinking of this, Li Xianyu turned devilish. He threw a charm at Mother Hua Yang and gave her a wink. “Mother Hua Yang, do you think I'm handsome?”
Huayang's face remained the same. “Very handsome, as handsome as your father.”
I'm satisfied with the answer, but no… She is too calm.
Was it because Hua Yang had a strong mental power and was immune to charm? Unfortunately, there was no other woman on the scene for him to test his powers.
Li Xianyu glanced at four men and silently lifted his charm.
However, what happened next was a bit different from what he imagined. The heat in the eyes of Ryder and others slightly reduced, they never looked at him the same way as before.
It was the kind of looking at the opposite s.e.x with a sense of longing.
“Ryder, come here.” Li Xianyu beckoned.
All of a sudden, the foreign boy was surprised. It was like a G.o.ddess suddenly talked to him.
Why did I have this strange sense of happiness? Ryder reflected in his mind for a few seconds, before coming over to Li Xianyu.
“Look at me now… How do you feel?”
“So beautiful…”
“Huh?”
“No no, there is just this special sense of attraction.” Ryder answered truthfully. When he spoke, he stared at Li Xianyu.
“Don't look at me like this, or your sister will fight with me.” Li Xianyu sighed.
He remembered that Aoki Yui's charming skill could be divided into active and pa.s.sive components. The pa.s.sive component was permanently activated, affecting the opposite s.e.x all the time. Thus, men would find her likable and would approach her.
The effect of active power would be much stronger than the pa.s.sive power. When that happened, the opposite gender's affection for her would be improved infinitely. When fighting, the other party would be conflicted and would not attack too ferociously
“Li Xianyu, what to do with this guy?” A senior employee came up and pointed to Eric and told him what had happened.
“Don't mind me touching your backside,” he said suddenly.
“F*ck off!” Li Xianyu angrily kicked him aside.
Men were all perverts.
