Netherworld Retrograde

Capítulo 872: Chapter 408: Your Parents Should Have Lived…

Inside the safe house, it was learned that the Book Holder commissioned Li Yelai to kill… Li Yelai himself.

Yin Fire, the nun, and the others were stunned for a moment, then burst into joyful laughter.

This Book Holder sure knows whom to trust!

I really wonder how defenseless the Book Holder would feel knowing the Copper Face they hired is actually the Night General himself?

Even sent the Heaven and Earth Cage, such a fine item, as a down payment.

This has miraculous effects for powerful warriors.

It can be used for uninterrupted duels, sealing off the enemy’s escape, or become a defensive trump card when needed.

With Li Yelai’s strength, acquiring such an item truly adds wings to a tiger.

And this is just the down payment. If the commission is truly completed, the reward for the final payment is likely to be even more exaggerated.

After laughing for a while, Yin Fire glanced at his communicator and restrained his smile, calmly saying, “It seems the Book Holder has already discovered your variable. This might be the plague of destiny that the Father of Plague mentioned. The Book of Destiny cannot predict the calamities triggered by you. So, once your calamity appears, it often changes its deduction.”

“This also explains why the Book Holder said No.3 Border City would suffer unprecedented losses in Disaster Fog No.71, with less than ten percent surviving. Yet, we didn’t suffer such terrifying losses.”

“Because, your calamity and the Mobius Ring Map made us abandon the plan of the Spiritual Energy Phased Array. This is not within the calculations of the Book of Destiny.”

“If we had used the Spiritual Energy Phased Array, perhaps some other accident might have occurred, leading us to… pay a greater price….”

Listening to Yin Fire’s analysis, Li Yelai silently nodded.

Unexpected incidents would indeed occur.

Because the Insect Master had long prepared a counter for the Old Mad King’s surprise attack, specially preparing a body for a Golden Cicada Escape.

If the Spiritual Energy Phased Array had been used, the spiritual ability users on the official side would have suffered enormous losses. Even if a signal were sent to draw the Old Mad King’s strike, it would be dodged by the Golden Cicada Escape, allowing the Insect Master to regain strength and continue spawning the insect swarm.

By then, the official forces would have few remaining vital forces, forcing humanity to pay a greater price to kill the Insect Master.

That is the outcome described by the Book Holder, during which some strong individuals would rise, those listed.

Yet, Li Yelai’s calamity led the official side to abandon the high-casualty Spiritual Energy Phased Array and was later guided by You Must Meet Strong Enemies before the Golden Cicada Escaped Insect Master.

Even with Li Yelai now, he probably couldn’t defeat the Insect Master at that time.

Trading with Mr. Shadow was the only choice, thereby destroying the original destiny at its source.

“But because you cannot always activate the Curse of Misfortune, yet you survive, after the first major variable, the strong individuals on the list are altered. With your talent, you naturally returned to the deduction of the Book of Destiny, appearing on the so-called list. But you on the list became a Chaos Chosen. Yet, once calamity arrives, you become a part-time Chosen.” Yin Fire smiled.

“The Sub Immortal Palace also died because of your variable, writing off a future civilization before it even emerged. Subsequently, you summoned back the immortal…”

“You saved a lot of people, really… very good…”

“But now, he realizes this and is eager to eliminate you, not hesitating to find you, this Chaos Chosen.”

“I worry that besides you, others may have accepted this commission.”

“That could really be troublesome.”

“I know.” Li Yelai responded to Yin Fire’s concerned gaze, “But assassinating an official captain inside the Giant City is very difficult. Besides, with my current strength, unless the Overlord makes a move, escaping should not be a problem. I still have Ma No.4 and the Imitative Heavenly Soldiers. Unless the opponent also has a Heaven and Earth Cage, but that’s unlikely, such Secret Treasures can’t be mass-produced.”

Ma No.4, a full-grown Ancient Sky Comet Dragon!

Meanwhile, Li Yelai also has five Imitative Heavenly Soldiers with divinity, and a large number of Sixth Sense Heavenly Soldiers.

Even when facing the Overlord, though he can’t win, he can always escape.

Moreover, inside the Giant City, Li Yelai is the official captain, Champion Team One’s proxy!

Outside the Giant City, he’s the Blood God’s Blade, Plague’s Son, and a Chosen of the Chaos Twin Gods!

Both identities guarantee his safety.

Apart from the Chaos Chosen, it’s unlikely many would be so reckless. Ironically, Li Yelai himself is a Chaos Chosen… Heh.

“What about the list?” The nun asked, being a Spirit Extinguisher, she was difficult to corrupt by Chaos, and due to her high involvement, she became one of the few insiders.

“What if the Book Holder guides the strong individuals on the list to confront you?” The nun asked, “How will you deal with it?”

“The strong individuals on the list… Ye Han is one; his presence here is largely due to reviving the evil corpse within the doll. So, the doll might also be.” Li Yelai responded, “By this reasoning, the geniuses on the list aren’t necessarily all enemies. Am I not on the list too?”

The list won’t document all geniuses, but those strong individuals with a place in the so-called future.

Among them, those willing to attack an official captain probably aren’t many.

“Moreover, since I’m now regarded as a variable, the Book Holder probably wouldn’t dare let too many strong individuals approach me; if I’m to change any more fates, he’d really be defenseless.” Li Yelai said with a smile, “And Chaos Chosen are different, they’re supposed to find Champions for a showdown, even without his intervention.”
