Chapter 3860: All the rough edges have been smoothed out by reality.
Ah Xiruo slowly opened her eyes from her meditation.
An unusual fluctuation was coming from the [Devouring Heaven] ahead... The monitoring data from [Ice Wheel] showed that the [Fire Cloud Evil God] inside was in an unstable state.
"What happened? The old man was in pretty good condition before..." Ah Xiruo frowned. "Could it be because he was too greedy and reckless?"
"No, the talent of the [Fire Cloud Evil God] is already at the level of an unparalleled genius, considering only the race of the Third Minor World. His comprehension is too high, and his understanding of the [Rules of Divine Skills] far exceeds expectations."
"Isn't this a good thing?" Ah Xiruo couldn't help but be taken aback.
"Unfortunately, he is in this world. Although the restrictions of the third world are gradually being lifted, the current environment does not actually support [Fire Cloud Evil God] to do this."
"Tell me how to solve this."
Ah Xi Ruo asked directly.
She never actually had a real teacher; most of her knowledge came from the inherited memories of the True Dragon… This already makes her arguably the oldest being in the Divine Land.
But ever since she got the [Ice Wheel], Ah Xi Ruo has actually become less willing to use her brain—this [legacy], with its vast amount of knowledge far exceeding her own, is just too tempting!
Even she herself was unaware that she had developed a certain dependence on [Ice Wheel].
"Currently, the only options are to interrupt the [Fire Cloud Evil God]'s comprehension state, or to directly sever him and the space where [Devouring Heaven] is located and send him to a suitable place... Given the extreme difficulty of the second method, we recommend adopting a conservative approach."
“No… perhaps the second method isn’t difficult either…” Ah Xi seemed to be thinking.
Are you looking for...?
That heartless bastard...
But Green Bubble's chat interface is still stuck on the last time...
These past few days, Xi Ruo has been waiting—he promised to find a suitable time to explain to her, but three whole days have passed... Isn't he hungry at all?
It can't be that they're just tired of it...
Miraculously, the true dragon of China began to feel a sense of gain and loss.
"—My lord, are you planning to seek His Highness's help to resolve the issue of the [Fire Cloud Evil God]?"
Ah Xiruo no longer complained about Binglun's keen insight; she simply gave a soft "hmm."
【Binglun】paused for a moment before the sound resumed.
"In fact, I do not recommend seeking Your Highness's help. Given the mechanics of the [Root], the [Fire Cloud Evil God] is not worth your effort."
Ah Xiruo couldn't help but frown.
"I said that [Fire Cloud Evil God] is a special existence with one of the highest talents among humans in this world. In fact, he only needs to improve himself as the Third World is gradually liberated. Taking too big a step at once may not be beneficial to his future path."
Ah Xiruo couldn't help but roll her eyes. How could she not understand the principle of taking things one step at a time?
Why do you want to choose the second method? Don't you understand... What kind of idiotic human-machine interface is this?!
"—Huh? [Fire Cloud Evil God] is actively ending his comprehension state... His ability to control his desires is amazing. I need to reassess his talent. Is this the [possibility] that Lord [Cicero] bestowed upon this small world? How amazing..."
—What are the possibilities?
Ah Xiruo paused for a moment, then her gaze sharpened, and she saw that the black vortex of [Devouring Heaven] was beginning to shrink.
This contraction process, from slow to fast, meant that after just a few breaths, the black vortex had shrunk to nearly half its original size!
After half, it becomes half again. Rather than shrinking, it's more like compressing the whole thing!
About ten minutes later, the forbidden technique [Devouring Heaven] had been compressed to a size of only three meters in diameter.
The old man slowly exhaled, stretched out his hand and inhaled, and [Devouring Heaven] directly condensed into a black sphere no bigger than a palm, which fell into his palm.
Finally, the old scoundrel even absorbed the black sphere directly into his body.
A glint of light flashed in his eyes, and he immediately turned his gaze to Long Xiruo not far away... A heavy, abyss-like aura spread out, faintly causing Yun'er to transform into the form of a fierce tiger.
Ah Xiruo glanced at him sideways, put one hand on her hip, and said indifferently, "Old man, want a beating?"
The light in [Fire Cloud Evil God]'s eyes gradually faded. He shook his head slightly and smiled calmly, saying, "I have gained some understanding, which led to a misconception. Please don't be offended, Dragon Lord."
"You've made quite a bit of progress with this little bit of understanding." Ah Xiruo waved her hand, then stretched. "Now that you're alright, I should head out too. These past few days have been exhausting."
Ah Xi Ruo had been helping the Dharma Protector all along, and the old man knew it all. He slowly bowed to the true dragon of Shenzhou.
One is sincere in their worship, the other is worthy of receiving it.
I won’t say more.
The old man suddenly pondered for a moment, then waved his hand, and a small black hole appeared in his palm. Immediately, something was spat out of the black hole. "Dragon Lord, what should we do with this person?"
The humanoid creature that was spat out of the black hole... was none other than Carol (B)!
Why is it described as a humanoid creature?
Because Carol (B) was very dry at this moment, extremely dry, she was completely burned out, feeling as if she had been completely hollowed out... even the big thunder was almost gone, and you could still see the ribs.
Ah Xi Ruo couldn't help but scratch her cheek, wondering if she had gone too far in hyping up this big wavy hairstyle.
"Let's take her back first. We can question her more thoroughly when she wakes up. This guy is probably from out of town too."
After saying that, Ah Xiruo raised her hand, and the power of the true dragon instantly transformed into ten layers of seals, which were imprinted on Carol (B)'s body... After the big wave woke up, it would no longer be able to do anything.
……
"Hey, Master, you're back! Where have you been these past few days? I've been looking for you..."
Inside the embassy.
“…We can talk about it later.” Ah Xi Ruo yawned. “I’m so sleepy, let me catch up on some sleep first… See you later.”
"Okay?" Ziling's mother nodded gently.
The expert did indeed look very tired.
"Great God, are you hungry?" Ziling's mother asked hurriedly with concern.
"...Sleepy! Not hungry!" Ah Xiruo glared at her. "Are you kidding me? Do I look like a hungry person?"
Then Xi Ruo quickly returned to her room... Zi Ling's mother shrugged, somewhat confused, and decided to continue writing her little essay.
……
The return of [Fire Cloud Evil God] naturally delighted everyone at the Divine Embassy—as the Bureau's highest combat power, [Fire Cloud Evil God] actually had a greater ability to unite people's hearts than Ah Xi Ruo to some extent.
After all, the Dragon Lord is the Dragon Lord, and she belongs to the entire Divine Continent... while the [Fire Cloud Evil God] is one of the initial creators of the Divine Continent Administration Bureau.
"...I never expected so many things to happen." After listening to Huo Zhen's account, the old man couldn't help but sigh. "You've had a tough time these past few days, Old Huo."
Huo Zhen smiled and said, "Don't be so sentimental. I actually benefited from this misfortune. But now that you're back, I'll return the burden to you. I also wanted to go into seclusion to meditate these next few days."
[Fire Cloud Evil God] nodded. Old Huo stepped into the mythical realm, and he immediately sensed that... he would finally have another opponent to spar with.
"Chief Advisor, Lord Huo!"
An agent with a serious expression came and knocked on the door.
"Is there something you need, Cangfeng?" Huo Zhen smiled slightly. "If it's about the remnants of the invaders, we can just call them all back as a formality. There's no need to actually go looking for them."
"What remnants of invaders?" The old man frowned.
Huo Zhen shook his head. "It's nothing, just a farce... Anyway, we didn't lose out, we even made a profit. I'll explain to you when I have time."
Old Huo's words imply that the matter needs to be discussed privately... Cang Feng holds a high position in the Administration Bureau, yet he still has to avoid it, so this matter is definitely not insignificant.
Having worked together for half their lives, the two had long since developed a tacit understanding.
"Cangfeng, tell me your business first," Huo Zhen said, turning around.
"My lords, Director Wayne of S.H.I.E.L.D. requests an audience with you," Cangfeng said solemnly.
The old man and Huo Zhen exchanged a puzzled look.
……
In the same room, Director Wayne remained lying down, unable to move... The old scoundrel, who had come with Huo Zhen, silently observed this "ruler" who had once managed the [inhuman] people of the Beautiful Country.
“We heard you have something to say to us.” The old man thought for a moment and said, “Director Wayne, you can speak now.”
Wayne was silent for a moment before speaking with difficulty: "You all know why Vincent came to me, right?"
The two exchanged a glance... The old man had already learned the general outline from Huo Zhen, and could only say that the actions of the American military were within his expectations.
"Your dealings with the military are tacitly approved by those in the know," the old scoundrel shook his head and said. "We have nothing to say about that... Do you have any other requests? You should ask Vincent about that."
“No, I want to make a deal with Shenzhou… with your Administration.” A strange glint flashed in Director Wayne’s eyes.
"Speak freely," Huo Zhen said seriously.
"I will not admit in the public trial that I used the power of S.H.I.E.L.D. to secretly transport the nuclear bomb into Washington," Director Wayne said through gritted teeth. "I will expose the military's conspiracy in the public trial."
The old man frowned. "What do you want?"
“Help me rescue someone,” Wayne said in a deep voice. “After you rescue her, I need you to take her to Shenzhou, preferably to Qilin City, and give her a normal life.”
"Who?" Huo Zhen asked in a deep voice.
“Her name is Triss, she’s my son’s girlfriend, and she’s pregnant. She’s currently in Vincent’s hands,” Wayne said in a deep voice. “If you can take Triss away and promise to protect her, I will not only target Vincent and his group in the public trial… I can also provide you with information on all non-human beings throughout the United States! As well as secrets that S.H.I.E.L.D. has ever possessed!”
"...Wayne, wouldn't this be considered treason?" the old scoundrel murmured.
“I am only loyal to myself,” Wayne said calmly. “If you don’t agree to this deal, then I will do as Vincent asks… So, it’s up to you whether you agree or not.”
“We will consider this matter carefully.” The old man nodded. “Don’t worry, you will get an answer before you go to court.”
Wayne slowly closed his eyes and said softly, "I want some beetroot soup... I haven't had beetroot soup in a long time."
……
……
Shenzhou, [Qilin City].
A hotel in the suburbs near the border... deep inside.
The corpses of the Void Demons were piled up into small mountains—these were the achievements of the gods of Asgard!
The gods have lost count of how many primordial demons they have slaughtered... even four primordial demons have been killed—almost all by the god-king Odin.
Gungnir, the spear of eternity, unleashed an astonishing power amidst this seemingly endless carnage.
Even so, the gods still felt despair!
Once the corpses of the Void Demons pile up into a mountain, these remains will vanish into thin air... Then, even more Void Demons will surge out of the passage!
The gods couldn't possibly estimate how many more Void Demons were about to enter... but they knew exactly how much divine power they had left!
They can't even get the slightest bit of replenishment here!
If the slaughter doesn't end, there are only two outcomes for the gods: either they will be devoured by the [Void Demon], or they will die from exhaustion of their divine power...
"Boro, why don't you just go and confess your crimes!"
Driven to desperation, the gods no longer looked at General Boro with the same righteous indignation they had shown at the beginning... In this slaughter where there was only consumption and no replenishment, the eyes of the children of the gods had long since changed.
Even Odin, the king of the gods, would occasionally cast a strange look of disgust at this troll general.
"Damn it!" This troll general was no pushover either. "Why don't you just kill me and take my head to be humiliated?"
He wanted to admit his mistake, but the door wouldn't open, and the guy named Chen Mingming wouldn't show up. Who could he apologize to? Air?
But just as General Boro finished speaking, the gazes of the gods... the sons of gods towards him instantly underwent a dramatic change.
The troll general was now truly experiencing firsthand what it meant to be easy to see the city god, but difficult to deal with the underlings... He was filled with regret.
Suddenly, after a group of Void Demons were driven back by a divine being, a child of God, with a murderous glint in his eyes, began to approach General Boro.
General Boro felt a sudden chill run down his spine... Damn it, could these guys really be planning something?
"Roar--!"
He roared in fury, intending to fight to the death—he would rather kill this son of God first than die at the hands of the other.
If the gods really want to kill me now, I have no chance of survival... So, I'll take one with me if I can!
"stop!"
Suddenly, Odin, the king of the gods, roared.
"The gate is open!"
"what?"
"door……"
In an instant, the eyes of all the gods turned to the door that no matter what... even the Spear of Eternity could not break open, a sliver of light did indeed appear!
As the gate opened, the surrounding Void Demons seemed to be afraid of something, and instantly stopped all their attacks, even retreating to the exit of the passage.
The door was fully open, but none of the gods dared to rush out... the killings of the past few days had worn away the pride of most of them.
Chen Mingming reappeared before the gods of Asgard.
He held a small handkerchief, gently covering his mouth and nose, and slowly walked in with several female assistants. "It seems you all had a good time hunting these past few days."
hunting……
The gods remained silent.
"I've come here today specifically to inform you all that I have reported your requests to my superiors." Chen Mingming squinted as he swept his gaze over the gods. "However, even I am still waiting for instructions from above... So, you may have to wait a while longer. I will notify you immediately if there are any new developments."
Seeing that Chen Mingming seemed about to leave, Odin, the king of the gods, finally couldn't hold back any longer. "Your Excellency, please wait a moment!"
"Is there anything else?"
Then Odin, the king of gods, looked at General Boro with eyes that seemed to hold thunder.
The troll general, who had just been planning to kill one or two of the gods' children, suddenly shuddered and lunged at Chen Mingming. When he was about ten meters away from Chen Mingming, the troll general landed on his knees and slid all the way down.
"I was wrong!"
—Killing one or two of God's children... is nothing compared to getting out alive!
