Netherworld Retrograde

Capítulo 891: Chapter 418: You Delight Me

“Indeed.” Li Ye Lai felt somewhat lucky, grateful that he did not possess divinity.

Otherwise, with his rotten luck, there’s a high probability of encountering Captain Yang Chen’s residual sound.

When the Champion is an ally, it brings immense relief.

But if he’s on the opposite side, that’s just hopeless…

“How much of the original’s combat power does the residual sound possess?” Li Ye Lai asked.

“It’s almost a hundred percent mimicry. Moreover, it doesn’t succumb to spiritual attacks, which is fatal for me…” Cheese said, “But actually, this depends on how much of the relic’s recorded target’s data is available. If only one ability was used in the relic, then that residual sound can only use one ability. Also, they can’t replicate Taboo Items. As for Secret Treasures, they’re imperfectly copied, having only a portion of the prototype’s effect. This is considered their weakness.”

“But even so, they’re still hard to deal with…” Li Ye Lai frowned, “What happens if you eliminate the residual sound avatar?”

“If you’re still in the relic at that time, a second residual sound avatar will appear. If you’re strong enough and keep winning, you could even witness all the recorded powerhouses, including Captain Yang Chen.” Cheese said, “Fortunately, once you leave the relic, they will dissipate on their own. However, if you wish to obtain the heritage within, you must act quickly, and a lot depends on luck.”

Luck plays a big part; if luck is on your side and the residual sound that appears happens to be countered by you or your teammates, then you might still manage to hold them off and explore the relic.

If luck is bad… running for your life could be a struggle.

“So, if I’ve appeared in the relic, I’ve already been recorded. Am I likely to encounter my own residual sound avatar later?”

“Yes,” Cheese replied, “But you probably haven’t unleashed your full power yet. Therefore, your current avatar should still be relatively manageable. If your peak combat power had been recorded… aside from Captain Yang Chen, others would probably curse upon seeing it.”

This was a fact, as of today, Li Ye Lai’s combat power had been affirmed by both the Giant City and the Church.

“By the way, what are you recording?” Cheese looked at the paper and pen in Li Ye Lai’s hand.

“Intelligence. You eat first, I’ll make a trip to the ark to inform the Giant City of the situation here.” Li Ye Lai responded and explained a bit about the ark’s existence and abilities.

When it comes to conveying information, the Ark Chosen Ones are the most convenient.

Currently, Jing Lin was still in the Giant City and could communicate quickly with the officials through him.

“I see, that’s indeed better than our plan. So, the action to destroy the passage can be initiated earlier.” Cheese thought for a moment and said, “Moreover, you can search for some means to counteract the Heartless Fruit after the ark.”

“Don’t rush into action yet. Wait for the Giant City’s reply…” Li Ye Lai said, “When entering the ark, my external perception is almost zero, during which I will need a protector.”

Cheese chuckled, “Don’t underestimate me, I’m also a Five Senses Spiritual Ability User. Besides, I have so many Imitative Heavenly Soldiers.”

Indeed, the Imitative Heavenly Soldier is particularly suited for the Ravings and Divine Protection Path Spiritual Ability Users.

Both can enhance them, like Cheese’s Four Awakenings Dragon Roar.

It can enhance the Spiritual Barrier and Spiritual Ability Sharpness of the Imitative Heavenly Soldiers, greatly boosting combat power.

If Li Ye Lai could apply the Heavenly Lament Instant Death Effect on the Imitative Heavenly Soldiers, it would be even more terrifying.

Of course, the consumption would also be massive. The cost-effectiveness doesn’t seem great…

“Alright, then I’ll leave it to you. You eat first, I’ll be back soon.” Li Ye Lai responded.

He then took out a suit and Copper Face from the Reserve Space, removed his armor, and changed.

Looking at Li Ye Lai’s muscular physique.

Cheese silently bit into a Shatang Fruit, then asked, “Do you always enter the ark in this form?”

“Yes, after all, friends and foes are indistinguishable, these are essential disguise methods.” Li Ye Lai explained, “The ark records the image of a Chosen One the moment they enter. So, I can even roll in the mud; even if in reality, the mud has dried or fallen off, in the ark, I’m still covered in mud.”

“How do you know this so well, has anyone actually done it?”

Li Ye Lai nodded, he heard it from Chu He.

A Chosen One, in a rush to enter the ark, didn’t have time to disguise themselves, and so resorted to this trick. Thus, everyone liked to call him ‘Mud Man.’

Then, Li Ye Lai sat on a rock, closed his eyes, and injected Spiritual Energy into the ark ticket.

In the next second, his consciousness arrived in the hall.

“Captain, please help me contact Shan Cha, Chu He, and Li Ming. And please open a private space for me.”

….

While Li Ye Lai was unaware, as his consciousness left.

Cheese walked up in front of him, speaking softly, “Xiao Ye?”

Seeing no response from Li Ye Lai, she extended her slender arm and removed Li Ye Lai’s Copper Face.

Looking at Li Ye Lai’s handsome face.

Cheese whispered softly, “Sometimes… you are quite defenseless.”

Regarding this, Li Ye Lai had often cautioned her, and perhaps the Doll had heard it too, maybe even the Little Mad King?

His mind might not comprehend that it varies from person to person…

“I, unlike you, am no gentleman!”

Then, Cheese seemed to remember something, humming lightly.

“Of course, neither is the Doll!”

Especially when he was drugged during his fainting…

Finally, she sat on Li Ye Lai’s lap, approached his cheek, and her slender white fingers slid into his garment.

…

Meanwhile, in another place, within a relic.

A residual sound avatar clad in Ming Guang Armor, wielding a Sky Halberd, and riding an elegant and powerful Ancient Dragon.

Was battling intruders.

Under the shocked gaze of the intruders, that residual sound covered its face. A thousand Heavy Knight Shadow Army emerged!

Simultaneously, the Ancient Dragon’s black and red steel wings unfolded, Spiritual Flames filled the air. Like a meteor darting around, Thunder Spears emerged, assaulting the intruders on the ground.

Even with thorough preparation, equipped with numerous Secret Treasures, and supported by an ample Think Tank for tactical analysis.

He still fought tooth and nail.

“That’s a high-level ability from the Netherworld Path, the Shadow Army!”

“Is he not even at the Sixth Sense stage yet?”

“That Ancient Dragon’s residual sound has no divinity, yet it possesses such power?”

“We can’t hold on! Retreat now!”

The Jile Sect’s Strategy Team was astounded.

They specifically chose this location to experiment and understand their enemy’s abilities. By triggering the residual sound avatar of official powerhouses, they hoped to learn about their abilities and characteristics in battle.

However, the new avatar that appeared this time utterly reshaped their expectations.

The one-man-one-dragon combination was just too terrifying.

“This is… the Champion Agent…. This is just one Face?” Even the Divine Chosen Fallen Desire looked grave at that moment.

She was unsure about the total number of Faces possessed by the Champion Agent. But the known ones were three!

This was just one, yet it rendered a Sixth Sense Demon General unable to raise his head.

This is too frightening; what would his peak combat power be like?

If the Heartless Fruit could parasitize him… perhaps… the Jile Sect could produce another Divine Chosen One?

And the handsome man beside her clapped with a grin.

“Good, very good!”

He originally aimed to capture powerful abilities through the Jile Sect. And Champion Yang Chen’s Undying Golden Body was one of the choices!

Once he acquired such a physique, he would be invincible among the Overlords!

But if there’s something he desired the most…

It would still be the Champion Agent’s Wanxiang Face Mask!

That ability was even more special, unique!

And possessing it meant gaining multiple abilities, Shadow Army, Divine General Dharma Image, Weakness Perception…

These are high-level abilities from other paths!

To obtain these abilities on his own, he would need to consume several precious Heavenly Usurping Cages.

Now, with just one, he could gain so many powerful abilities. How could he not be tempted?

“I didn’t expect that, the powerful ally coming to aid the Champion was you…”

“Even the Book Holder couldn’t foresee such a variable.”

“Night General…. You truly delight me!”
