Netherworld Retrograde

Capítulo 889: Chapter 417: Suppression Plan_2

“For example, leave one person behind to destroy all the Heartless Fruits growing from the corpses, then jump into the lava to end their own life. This would completely eradicate the spread of the Heartless Fruit…”

“You and Moon Shadow Captain coming to support would only add two more victims,” Cheese calmly said. “So, during this time, you must avoid being parasitized, find an opportunity, return to the surface with this information, and spread the message!”

The strong members of Champion Team One and Fifth Team had long accepted their fate and duty.

They were to give everything to completely eradicate the Heartless Fruit, an apocalypse-level threat!

Cheese felt the same, so when she saw Li Yelai, she was full of joy but also very rational.

She couldn’t, out of personal desire, drag him into the death list as well.

He still had a bright future… he couldn’t be harmed by her…

Did she not realize? If Li Yelai were parasitized, he too could not return to human society.

At least in her final days… she could possess him.

Under the influence of the Heartless Fruit, she indeed had such extreme thoughts.

To actively… parasitize him… to take him back.

Perhaps in the end… both would die, but she could obtain what she wanted…

However, Cheese was very rational and suppressed that bizarre thought.

And she wanted Li Yelai to leave here without being infected…

Besides herself, there were others who loved him, and humanity needed this hero.

She couldn’t act on selfish desires…

‘Ah, ah… is this the early death of a white moonlight?’ Cheese thought, wanting to laugh yet feeling a bitter anguish inside.

She took a sip of the coffee in her cup, only feeling the bitterness growing stronger…

‘So bitter…’ she thought to herself, ‘She really got a good bargain…’

Under the influence of the Heartless Fruit, jealousy corroded her reason like acid…

But she could only drink the coffee silently.

“Impossible,” Li Yelai interrupted Cheese, saying, “There must be another way… In those relics, there should be means to deal with the Heartless Fruit!”

“If there were means, how could they have been exterminated?” Cheese sighed deeply. “This is already the best method… We are already as good as dead. Let’s not involve more innocents.”

“There must be other ways…” Li Yelai said, “I will definitely bring you all back. I will!”

“Now is not the time to be stubborn,” Cheese sighed. She understood Li Yelai’s character too well…

Seeing the atmosphere tense between the two, Liu Yun interjected, “Night General, how did you and Moon Shadow enter the second layer? Was it just the two of you?”

Li Yelai paused, informing them about the Imitative Heavenly Soldier he carried and the Immortal Palace Battlefield details.

Though they knew of the Immortal Palace Battlefield, they were unaware of some details.

When Li Yelai spoke of the Immortal Palace Battlefield’s specifics, Cheese and Liu Yun were extremely surprised.

Future human elites, past Immortal methods. A sword-wielding woman was drawn in…

The future identities of the human strong. Li Yelai’s two different identities…

“In the future, you became a Champion,” Liu Yun remarked, “This is not surprising. You should be a Champion.”

Li Yelai silently shook his head, knowing he was not worthy…

“The future, indeed, is mysterious…” Cheese said, “I wonder what our endings are in those two futures?”

Li Yelai’s expression changed as the image of a charred corpse surfaced in his mind.

He looked at Cheese, his gaze flickering: “That kind of future will not happen again. This is not your end!”

“Looks like you know my future ending,” Cheese’s eyes brightened, “With our relationship, care to share?”

Li Yelai shook his head, continuing to divulge other intelligence.

Also, Ye Han’s actions and his own ability as a Causality Divine Calamity.

“Ye Han… truly a beast, but at least he delivered something good,” Cheese murmured.

She sighed internally; if only that beast Ye Han hadn’t appeared.

Li Yelai and the Doll might not have developed so quickly…

The desire for hatred surged, it would be right to kill him, yet he was already dead.

“Causality Level Divine Calamity, it was then I used this trick to counter the Yunling Civilization’s Causality Strike! And from another angle, the Heartless Fruit is a kind of Causality Strike too. I may be able to directly counter it!” Li Yelai said.

“But that’s only a possibility… If you can’t counter it, you’re just parasitized in vain,” Cheese said softly, “Once you’re parasitized, humanity loses its Causality Level Divine Calamity. And also loses someone who should have been a Champion…”

“I won’t die; I have a trump card…” Li Yelai paused, Mr. Shadow’s power was indeed formidable, but whether it would work against something like the Heartless Fruit was uncertain.

But it’s worth a try…

“I’ll find an Extraordinary Creature to kill and test,” Li Yelai said.

‘There’s a more convenient way to get infected,’ Cheese thought. Then shook her head and refused: “Once parasitized, it’s all over. Even if you aren’t affected personally because of the Divine Demon Stele, what about the Doll? Will you never touch her in this lifetime? What about those around you, will they not be affected by the Heartless Fruit? These are all considerations.”

“However, your arrival indeed eases our pressure. You brought many Imitative Heavenly Soldiers,” Liu Yun said, “Share some with me, I’ll distribute them later.”

“Distribute them?” Li Yelai asked.

“Yes, because we’re all parasitized by the Heartless Fruit, it’s inevitable that when we’re together, the Heartless Fruit will influence us to make wrong decisions.”

“Some of the nobles in the city state, under the influence of the Heartless Fruit, held disgusting and filthy banquets. A complete moral collapse… The city state didn’t dare to kill them, so they locked them in a building. Do you want to know what they did inside?”

Li Yelai shook his head. A group of humans completely controlled by desire, whatever they did didn’t need to be stated…

If only there were still ceremonies of indulgence and corruption.

The emergence of elite troops of Jile, Desire Demons, wouldn’t be surprising.

As a Chosen of the Double Gods, Li Yelai knew some of Jile’s practices. They pursued desire and thrill.

Yet each release of desire raises their threshold.

To seek thrill again, they must pursue the ultimate.

The food once enjoyed no longer tasted flavorful, thus they consumed even more, even as their intestines exploded, tasting their own flesh and blood.

This is Jile…

Developing this way, a new Jile Divine Chosen might appear here.

Liu Yun said, “So, we each separated, forming some contact means to ensure we weren’t found while being able to maintain some communication.”

“The Imitative Heavenly Soldiers you brought can relieve our pressure very well.”

“Now, we know the city state is secretly building a passage to the first layer. Once they succeed, we will concentrate our forces to destroy the passage and transmit the information from here.”

“Since you’ve come, you are the best candidate. Then, we’ll conduct you into the passage and destroy it. This way, the Heartless Fruit won’t spread,” Liu Yun said, glancing at Cheese with a smile on her face, “Of course, it’s best not to get infected… If infected, it gets quite troublesome…”

“Off I go, oh, don’t let anyone remain here. Lest I suddenly get a murderous urge, no man or woman will be spared.”

With that, Liu Yun took a box of Heavenly Soldiers from Li Yelai’s hand.

He turned to leave the cave.

Cheese also stood up, looking at Li Yelai: “Let’s go, we need to find a new place too.”

At this moment, as Cheese stood, she saw Li Yelai’s collar, or rather, the collarbone below… there was a noticeable bite mark…
