Netherworld Retrograde

Capítulo 1051: Chapter 510: Filthy Thing?

‘Tricked? Tricked by what? Tricked by whom?’

Together with Zhou Ding’s bafflement came the wild warnings from his inspiration!

The inspiration, once ethereal, now transformed into a tangible roar!

Danger, extreme danger! Escape, flee immediately!

His muscles trembled all over, his heart pounding wildly. His blood almost boiling.

All of these were warning him to flee from here.

It was a tremendous fear between life and death…an absolute peril he couldn’t face!

Yet, from his perspective, the danger level of the Mechanical God Core remained low…

Unchanged as always.

This left him dazed but also made him realize.

It was clearly his greatest trump card, the means by which he had grown so far.

The repeated generous rewards made him completely trust the ‘values’ he saw.

He was like the protagonist of a novel, a genius destined to rise but fallen halfway. Yet he gained his golden finger by a twist of fate. Or rather, the system…

He was supposed to rise through the golden finger, to lord over all lives, changing his destiny by defying fate!

But he never thought that it was all a deception…

Those values might be real, but surely some parts were altered.

Tricked, wasn’t he truly tricked?

Just when…did it start?

“Zi Yu!!!” He let out his final roar, enveloped by the endless torment. The Mechanical Magic Cube burst into red light, the beam devouring Zhou Ding’s flesh, as if he was suffering a thousand cuts.

Meanwhile, within the Void Realm, Zi Yu let out a joyous laugh.

‘Why be angry? Zhou Ding, as an actor, you should laugh and let the story reach its climax!’

‘Oh great Master of Transformation, wise God of Deceit. Look here, what a wonderful drama this is!’

‘And I, Zi Yu, shall bring the story to its ultimate climax!’

‘Revive, once glorious and supreme civilization. Roar your arrival to this world before the entire Void Realm!’

‘Let the Silence Annihilation Titan’s firepower baptize humanity! Just as you sank the Ancient Heavenly Court back then!’

She laughed unrestrainedly, the piercing laughter echoing into Zhou Ding’s mind, causing his Soul Well to shatter.

This was all indeed a masquerade!

Several years ago, upon learning the Mechanical God Core had ended up at the South City Zhou Family, she initiated her plan.

She selected many people from within the Zhou Family. Among them, choosing the most talented Zhou Ding.

Zhou Ding’s talent was undoubtedly strong, otherwise, he wouldn’t have grown so rapidly.

The reason for his repeated failures to progress was due to her interference.

She pushed an anticipated genius step by step into desperation, and at his most desperate and mad moment, provided him with the greatest hope.

She guided Zhou Ding to discover the previously undiscovered Mechanical God Core.

Through rewards for kills, Zhou Ding gained part of the Silence Annihilation Titan’s knowledge, allowing him to unlock the Mechanical God Core step by step!

Letting the Zhou Family notice his difference, and during the Zhou Family’s investigation, altering the favorability value Zhou Ding saw, making him believe the Zhou Family intended to bury him, leading him to flee the Zhou Family and come here.

At the same time, she altered the danger value, deceiving Zhou Ding’s inspiration, causing him to drop his guard against the Mechanical God Core.

Of course, just now she altered the favorability value Zhou Ding saw.

Forcing him into despair…forcing him to fully unlock the Mechanical God core!

Finally, bringing the story to a climax!

A genius craving recognition, under her scheme, step by step fell into the Abyss, bringing immense harm to humanity!

What a marvelous conspiracy, surely favored by the Divine!

The moment Zhou Ding let his guard down, the performance was inevitable.

The values he trusted were all modified by Zi Yu, leading him to break with the Zhou Family, guiding him towards his own ending.

…

On the other side, the quartet led by Li Ye Lai and the Iron Guard Armor moving swiftly in the dark also felt a terrifying pressure.

This made Li Ye Lai’s expression shift slightly: “Seems like we are heading in the right direction!”

“Is it really this direction? Has the Old Family Head already clashed with Zhou Ding?” Zhou Hao wondered uncertainly. This power seemed too overwhelming. Moreover, it was still rising.

“Zhou Ding has this kind of trump card? We might not be able to handle this job.” Grenade commented.

However, in the next second, the running Iron Guard Armor stumbled to the ground, the Mechanical Soul inside seemingly reaching its limit.

But its metal finger pointed forward.

It seemed to want Li Ye Lai and the others to hurry…

“Alright, from here on, we’ll go ourselves.” Li Ye Lai said softly: “You have already shown us the way.”

Upon hearing this, the unmanned Iron Guard Armor seemed to let out a sigh.

Then, its arm fell, utterly silent.

The loyal Mechanical Soul completed its final mission…

This left Zhou Hao and the others with mixed feelings.

Li Ye Lai then spoke: “From here on, I will take over. Everyone, withdraw.”

“You? Against this kind of enemy, us going together might still be dicey, why bother being reckless?” Strawberry frowned.

“Indeed, let’s retreat here. This is beyond our ability to handle. The authorities need to intervene.” Zhou Hao sighed: “Of course, I won’t forget to pay everyone’s reward.”

“You… can you really handle it alone? Don’t you need our help?” Grenade asked respectfully for some reason.

“No need, you all leave first, evacuate nearby residents. My companions should be on their way. As for that thing… I will make my move!” Li Ye Lai said, and in an instant sped up, disappearing from their sight.
