Facing an Ancient God for a Year

Chapter 2238: Chapter 2233: King of Crucifixion (23)

Kidnapping the Godson?

Behind high risk there must be high reward, the first thing Fu Qian thought of was this historically illegal act.

As for the Lonely King and the Native Council being allies, the latter coming purely out of humanitarian spirit to help seems very unlikely to Fu Qian.

On one hand, the Night Watchman clearly doesn’t intend to destroy this place, as long as it’s not irreparable, the Lonely King himself shouldn’t be in much danger.

At most, the Godson will be discovered, perceived as a latent threat to be dealt with.

In this situation, the actions of the Native Council come with huge risks, let alone making the situation more serious.

It can be said to be disadvantageous to both others and themselves.

Not to mention, the Lonely King wasn’t very approving of them at first either, and with the Night Watchman helping a bit, he is directly indecisive about which Ariel is the real one.

All in all, the details may be hard to grasp, but the intention of the Native Council’s journey felt highly likely to be for that thing inside Ariel.

This thing is so important to them that they’re even willing to risk big trouble.

Of course, my own trouble looks just as big.

Satisfying curiosity comes at a price.

The rift in time and space, this unique realm successfully isolated the Night Watchman outside, creating a brief operational space.

It is indeed a finely crafted tactic, worthy of being called a calculated gamble.

But with such a good tactic, why wasn’t it used on me as well?

If I was isolated outside, a series of maneuvers wouldn’t need to be exposed, and it would even be safer?

Surely it’s not just for this exchange, something that only I’ve always done.

So the biggest possibility seems to be that ”Ariel” doesn’t want to do it, but rather can’t.

There might be a factor of my close affinity with the Lonely King, but most critically, it’s probably due to the ever-open Calamity Eye.

This power, clearly from the Superior Being, always firmly locks onto the Lonely King, accumulating all the way.

It’s said that animals refuse to reproduce under unsafe conditions, would the seahorse sequence’s Lonely King inherit this trait as well?

And if Ariel and the Lonely King’s combination is well aligned, they should be able to empathize with it as well.

...

Sorry, His Majesty the King might not mind this adoption paperwork, but the Abandonment King disagrees.

Regardless of whether they can precisely target the tyrant’s esteemed name, the Native Council has clearly discovered some core issues, judging that if they don’t resolve it, then the birth process of the Godson would likely be locked down.

The ultimate result would be that despite offending the Lonely King, I was forcibly increased in affinity, allowing me to enter this special place.

It’s completely understandable the helplessness, but all I can say is that from the moment I was chosen as the tool person, attached to the Lonely King, the seeds of disaster had already been planted.

The cooperation of the Night Watchman’s logistics team was indeed indispensable here.

”I did it.”

At this time, the ”Ariel” opposite had already genuinely nodded, acknowledging the identity of the Lonely King.

”If you want to shift some things onto the council, then you’ve already succeeded, no matter what, we cannot complete the argument, and the Night Watchman is likely to go all out in annihilation next.”

However, his following words stood from the perspective of the Native Council, giving a peculiar sense of contradiction.

”We could foresee all these, so are you still not satisfied?

”It’s commendable that you’ve held on until now, but your body is clearly already on the verge of collapse. If I hadn’t blocked this attack, it might’ve gotten completely crushed; do you really not value your life that much?”

But it must be said, the analysis is well-founded and reasonable, even Ariel looked up as if acknowledging that real impending disaster.

”Don’t blame me for not warning you, if this thing hits you, some backup survival means may also be destroyed together.”

...

No wonder I had a bad feeling earlier, it’s supposedly a First Phase player.

Ariel naturally referred to the ”Heavenly Punishment Sword,” hearing that it has some traceability, don’t expect to just toss away a smelly skin bag and easily get rid of it.

”The phrase ’cherish life’ coming out of your mouth inevitably sounds strange.”

Nevertheless, while not doubting on one hand, Fu Qian was still unfazed by this retreat rhetoric.

”For me, it’s just using this form to communicate a bit. Although you’re not wrong, he is indeed very special.”

”Ariel” didn’t refute, and his tone even reverted to a kingly manner, looking down at his own body.

”The time I can stay lucid is getting shorter, and I’m seeing less and less, he provided some interesting things....

”So what is your choice? Leave or become my enemy?”

The only regrettable thing is that patience in communication is quite limited.

As he spoke, Ariel’s face already bore a touch of non-human ferocity, delivering a final ultimatum.

”The conditions are very generous, so as long as you leave now, all will be forgiven?”

So generous, worthy of a king’s name, Fu Qian nodded slightly at that moment, seemingly really considering retreating—Boom!

At that moment, a certain phantasmagoric yet surging spectacle exploded before his eyes.

Countless blood-condensed blades, combined into a splendid flower, directly bloomed in every corner within sight.

Unlike the lightning above, the flower was unaffected by this stalling, and the surrounding, already fragile scene, wasn’t torn in the slightest either.

But the body was different, on the already unbearable body of Fu Qian, numerous slashes were almost instantly added.

Leading to an immediate situation where one shoulder was left with only half, as mentioned before.

...

This is the true Blood Blade Storm.

As the brutal assault suddenly appeared, Fu Qian, at that moment, could only sincerely admire the visual effect.

The Native Council’s previous choice was actually wise, if not for the value of exchange, why would I be wasting my time here, I would’ve started to complete the mission long ago.

If they really went all out to isolate me outside, then the calamity on the Lonely King would just erupt at the same time.

Even if the calamity guidance at the Second Phase degree is not enough, they could still switch to a greater power.

In short, the moment when the Lonely King was locked, some of His fateful sufferings were already inescapable.

And to resolve this core issue, it’s not possible to exclude me from it.

Of course, that doesn’t mean that after the other party invited me in, they truly prepared for a peace talk.

Elimination was always the simplest and most direct way, not to mention standing from the Native Council’s point of view, there was always a hidden executioner—Ya Yu.

Just because it’s unseen doesn’t mean it’s not there, regarding this mysterious person from the Native Council, Fu Qian had a deep impression.

On one hand language inducement, on the other storing a big move, both very much fit their style.

”How could you be unscathed?”

Although for the results in front of him, Ariel seemed not fully satisfied.

Almost as soon as the storm ceased, Ariel’s voice came from the opposite side.
