Monster Paradise

First Liege’s appearance, who was dressed in a white robe, did not match Lin Huang’s imagination. He looked like he was in his 20s at most. He was almost as handsome as Aza, but lacked the feminine vibe.

“Is there anything that you need from me?”

Lin Huang asked right after taking a good look at him.

“I want to borrow some people from you,” First Liege informed Lin Huang of his intention directly.

“Borrow people?” Lin Huang raised his eyebrows.

“The powerhouses from the Sword Alliance who have mastered over ten quadrillion chaotic cosmoses. The ones who participated in the previous battles.” First Liege nodded. “I want to borrow them.”

Seeing that Lin Huang was staring at him and said nothing, First Liege continued, “I want to challenge Aza, but I need people to help me delay and deal with the three Outer Gods and the Black Goat’s Offspring that might show up.”

Lin Huang squinted his eyes as he listened up to this point. “Do you have the confidence to challenge Aza?”

To him, the First Liege’s aura was only as strong as Aza’s Primordium. If they really were to fight, the chances of victory were 50/50. However, Aza also had an endless amount of clones.

“I don’t, but since Aza is already here, I don’t think we should delay this matter any further,” First Liege said expressionlessly.

Lin Huang frowned. “Great Chaotic Heavenly Dao should’ve told you that Aza has countless clones in other timelines and dimensions, right?”

“I know.” This was the only thing First Liege responded with.

Lin Huang spoke after seeing that First Liege did not elaborate further, “Even if you fought Him and won, what meaning is there in killing His Primordium? His Primordium can project His will into any of His clones. He’ll rise up again sooner or later.”

“Then I’ll kill him again when He does! I’ll keep killing him until He no longer dares to show Himself!” First Liege’s tone was laced with killing intent.

“I don’t think you understand what Aza’s ultimate goal is.” Lin Huang shook his head helplessly. “He wants to become a Transcender and refine the Great Chaotic Heavenly Dao! In order to achieve this, He has been plotting for hundreds of eras. I don’t think a guy like Him would give up His goal easily just because He lost a couple of battles.”

“Also, even if you do win once or twice, can you guarantee that you will keep winning? As soon as you fight him, you’d become Aza’s primary target. Even if you really defeat Him, from then on, He’ll keep finding ways to attack you every time until He defeats and kills you!”

“He’s not the only one who has clones. I have them too. Even if I’m killed, I will rise up again!” First Liege sounded determined.

“This guy…” Lin Huang frowned.

Lin Huang gained a rough understanding of the man before him, who was so stubborn that he seemed to be on the verge of being possessed.

Perhaps he had been trained by Great Chaotic Heavenly Dao, and had been constantly reminded of his objective to defeat Aza, so much so that defeating Aza had become his obsession.

Lin Huang did not continue to advise him after witnessing his determination.

“Alright then. Since you’ve already decided, I’ll send people to delay the Outer Gods for you. How many people do you need?”

“All of them.” First Liege had clearly thought it through before coming here. “It’ll be tough if the legitimate Black Goat’s Offspring appears.

“Also, I’m not asking the Sword Alliance to help for free this time. I can pay to hire them!”

Lin Huang raised his eyebrows when he heard that. He was secretly happier now. “Sure, I’ll tell them, but I don’t know how many people will be willing to help. You can discuss the hiring fees with them later. When do you need them?”

“I need some time to prepare. Let’s make it three days later.” First Liege gave him a timeline directly. “Didn’t Aza give us three days as well? I want to give Him a surprise then.”

“Sure! I’ll get them to empty their schedules for that day.” Lin Huang agreed directly.

First Liege left after obtaining Lin Huang’s phone number.

He thought for a moment after watching First Liege leave. He sent over a will projection to the dimension where Great Chaotic Heavenly Dao was again.

“First Liege just came to me, though I suppose you already knew that.” Lin Huang said directly.

“I saw.” The cloud-like Great Chaotic Heavenly Dao spoke again.

It did not say that it knew, but it said that it had seen it. It had witnessed the entire conversation Lin Huang had with First Liege.

“Did you instigate him this time or…”

“It was his own decision,” Great Chaotic Heavenly Dao answered before Lin Huang could finish.

“Why didn’t you stop him?” Lin Huang asked further.

“I tried to, but it didn’t work.” Great Chaotic Heavenly Dao’s tone sounded rather helpless. “He’s the child that I chose, not my puppet. He usually listens to my suggestions, but he’s very determined this time.”

“Perhaps his stubbornness has something to do with the fact that I’ve been reminding him about his mission. Killing Aza is his reason for existence, so he probably wanted to take action as soon as Aza’s Primordium showed up.”

“No matter whether he wins or loses, it doesn’t matter.” Although Lin Huang did not stop First Liege, it did not mean that he agreed with what he was doing.

“Looking at the result, it’s meaningless indeed.” However, the Great Chaotic Heavenly Dao clearly held a different perspective. “If he takes action, it will force Aza to activate more clones urgently… If we look at it from that perspective, it’s a good thing.”

“So he’s just a sacrifice to you?” Lin Huang squinted his eyes.

“Just like Aza, he has many clones too. He won’t really die even if his Primordium dies. All he has to do is to change the body he uses,” Great Chaotic Heavenly Dao explained calmly.

It was at this point that Lin Huang suddenly recalled that Great Chaotic Heavenly Dao was an entity of absolute intelligence. It did not possess any feelings for other living beings. To it, First Liege was just a tool that could be used to fight Aza, and that was about it.

In all likelihood, Great Chaotic Heavenly Dao probably thought of Lin Huang in the same way.

Lin Huang did not dwell on the matter after dismissing his will projection.

He informed Bai and the other imperial monsters instantly.

“There’s a job for you guys. Join the assault on Aza three days from now. Get ready, your mission will be to delay the Outer Gods and the Black Goat’s Offspring. Kill them off directly if you can.”

Bloody was the first to respond, “You’ve located all of Aza’s clones?”

“Not yet. I won’t be the one fighting Aza this time, but rather Heaven Secret’s First Liege. He needs your help,” Lin Huang replied immediately.

“I got happy over nothing. I thought that you were going to fight, boss. Can I not go? I’m worried that after Aza kills that First Liege, I’ll be killed too,” Charcoal voiced his objection instantly.

“This is a paid job. From what I know, First Liege should be quite wealthy. Great Chaotic Heavenly Dao spent almost all of its resources on him alone. You guys can negotiate your payments with him directly,” Lin Huang offered them a simple explanation.

“Money doesn’t really matter, though I suddenly feel like moving my claws. I want to fight!” Charcoal changed its tone quickly.

“You’re no longer afraid of Aza attacking you after killing that First Liege?” There was clearly a teasing tone in Grimace’s response.

“I’m not an idiot. Can’t I run once I see that the situation is turning bad, even before he’s defeated?” Charcoal sounded like it was proud of itself.

“Does that First Liege really have the ability to fight Aza?” It was Bai who asked the next question.

“His level of ability is similar to Aza’s Primordium,” Lin Huang responded quickly, “If they really were to fight, I’m guessing the odds are 50/50.”

The imperial monsters were relieved when they heard Lin Huang’s evaluation of First Liege.

They were initially worried that First Liege did not know his limits. Now it seemed like that was not the case.

“Those who are willing to go, it’s best that you can confirm with me today so that I can figure out the headcount. Also, remember to make yourself available three days from now.”
