Capítulo 1177: Chapter 580: He’s Even More Radical Than Me! (Part 2)

These words left Liu Bo somewhat dazed, as he had considered many possibilities himself.

Being killed or imprisoned by the human Champion who scorns cooperation with Chaos.

Yet, he would give everything to prove himself, prove that he ‘never betrayed humanity.’

And now, was it the human Champion himself who spoke these words?

Hearing Li Ye admit he is the Chaos Chosen, Zhen Shan’s face turned terribly pale.

He knows clearly, once this news spreads.

The morale boost the human Champion can provide to humanity is equal to the devastation this revelation would cause.

Even the most glorious Champion has been corrupted by Chaos and turned into a Divine Chosen.

The human warriors’ morale might be shattered completely!

It might lead to greater despair, resulting in more occurrences of corruption.

But the Champion… also says he never betrayed humanity… Is it true?

Already corrupted by Chaos to become a Divine Chosen, watched by the Evil God, and still claims to fight for humanity?

Looking at the disbelief on the two’s faces, especially Liu Bo. He is too aware of the corrupting power of Chaos, his son and daughter-in-law, both outstanding in their families.

Resolute, brave, reliable, upright.

However, the two were injured by Chaos’s weapon, and under its corruption, gradually became Chaos’s minions.

Such is the peril of Chaos corruption, difficult to defend and resist.

He himself just wanted to borrow Chaos’s power, yet was deemed a human traitor.

You, a Divine Chosen, what right do you have to say these words?

Li Ye gently brushed his cheek with one hand.

Blood God Chosen Face, Eternal Chosen Face.

Two bursts of chaotic power flashed briefly, fortunately, the Spiritual Sealing techniques in this room are high-level, otherwise, merely those two powerful chaotic auras could have stirred up the entire war front.

“Are you actually the Chosen of the Double Gods?” Liu Bo grasped his weapon tightly. He knew all too well the value of a Double God Chosen.

“Actually, it’s Three Gods. I also hooked Jile… but Jile doesn’t know himself. In short, as you see, my ability is quite unique. It can mimic historical, epic, or even mythical figures’ powers.” Li Ye explained, “While influenced by Chaos power, likewise, I mimicked Chaos power, mimicked the powers I should have had as a Chosen.”

“Thus, in the eyes of Chaos sects, even in the eyes of the Evil Gods, I am a Divine Chosen. But I haven’t been corrupted by Chaos…”

“You could understand this as freeloading. At least, the council in City No.3 evaluated it this way.”

“During the outbreak of the Forbidden Zone and your war, I preemptively commanded two elite legions from the sects to attack Demon Abyss Mountain. Trying to lessen the pressure for Mountain City. Additionally, to consolidate my status as a Divine Chosen.”

“However, Disaster Fog came, engulfing them all.”

“Among them, a faction was discovered by you, and news of intending to negotiate with Chaos reached me as a Divine Chosen.”

“Luckily, you haven’t been corrupted by Chaos. Otherwise, I would have had to clean the house.”

Li Ye picked up the teacup and took a sip, “I’ve finished speaking. Now it’s your turn…”

This was the highest secret of No.3 Border City.

Now, it was disclosed by Li Ye to the two.

Zhen Shan was bewildered directly.

He was considered young among the council members but was already over fifty.

Served in Ye Boshou’s command, strategized against Disaster Fog, campaign against the Forbidden Zone, cleared Chaos.

What waves and storms has he not seen?

Yet… this scene he had truly never witnessed!

He could hardly imagine, could someone actually deceive all gods?

Is it fake? Perhaps you’re the Deceit Chosen One?

As for Liu Bo, he remained silent; suddenly feeling his plan, deemed aggressive by Zhen Shan, was too wrongly accused.

Liu Bo merely intended to utilize Chaos against Disaster Fog, determined to bite a chunk off Disaster Fog.

But Li Ye took it further, directly freeloading Chaos Gods!

Still, they remain unable to fully believe, of course, they cannot fully believe the Champion has been corrupted by Chaos.

“Is there anything that can prove this?” Liu Bo asked seriously.

Li Ye nodded slightly and revealed the Biomimetic Tear Drop.

Upon the manifestation of the Old Mad King in his prime, Liu Bo and Zhen Shan stood up, stunned.

Despite no leakage of power, the Tear Drop made them feel as if facing a King.

“This is the Mad King’s mimicry. Still, it can’t prove my identity. The mimicry lacks autonomous consciousness. After all, it could be that I have deceived the Mad King using my Champion identity. As for other tokens, naturally, they don’t exist. My identity is the highest secret of Border City.” Li Ye said.

Seconds later, Liu Bo sat back down, “This truly is insane…”

Zhen Shan remained in doubt.

Liu Bo smiled bitterly, “Sit down. If he truly leaned towards Chaos, Giant City would have already undergone large-scale corruption.”

Zhen Shan paused for a moment, then also sat back down, “Champion, you have truly given me a massive shock.”

“Each other. I also feared you might be corrupted by Chaos. Before coming, I was continuously contemplating how to deal with you. Things are clearer now, you haven’t been corrupted. I’ve also relayed the secret to you.” Li Ye said, his hand beside him flashing with golden spatial fluctuations.

Two pieces of parchment infused with chaotic aura emerged.

These were the ‘Eternal Army’ and ‘Defeated’ contracts.

“Have a look, Chaos Contract. It’s used here in Border City.” Li Ye pushed the parchment toward the two.

Chaos Contract, Border City…

“Sigh… Each Giant City may have its secrets, but Border City’s secrets are incredibly insane. Making collective use of Chaos Contracts?” Liu Bo’s expression was complicated; he cautiously opened the parchment.

Due to his nature of work, he had encountered extensive Chaos Knowledge, well-acquainted with Chaos Contracts.

After carefully examining each character.

Liu Bo’s complexion grew increasingly complex.

This Chaos Contract was indeed meticulously designed. It even gave the signatories greater benefits, placing Chaos’s demands posthumously or during near-death.

No textual traps…

“I see… The aim is, instead, a price?” Liu Bo said, “At least it ensures, before the price arrives, the contractors won’t be corrupted.”

“Indeed, the stronger the amplification, the greater the price. These two contracts maintain an extreme balance. Battling for humanity while alive, becoming living corpses after death. Directed by higher-generation contractors.”

“As for the Defeated, it grants certain kill squads extreme measures amidst despair. It points toward deviation…”

Liu Bo nodded silently, asked once again, “Can the amplification be further enhanced? Even just a little…”

“Impossible now, even I cannot alter more benefits.” Li Ye shook his head, “In trading with Chaos, this is the best contract possible.”

“For instance, the Old Mad King… the Chaos Believer just showed, he received the blessing of the Eternal Life Faction, thus rejuvenating and gaining extensive lifespan, could live a hundred years more.”

“Doesn’t this blessing fit the Old Mad King well? But it’s impossible, to gain such a blessing, the price is the Old Mad King himself, impossible for humanity to accept!”

“We can’t receive great benefits while avoiding Chaos corruption.”

Zhen Shan laughed after reading the contract, “It’s already good enough, don’t be too greedy, Liu Bo.”

“If we can smash Disaster Fog, we wouldn’t need to worry about Chaos’s continued spread! Simultaneously, because we signed the contract with Chaos, from the Chaos sect’s perspective, we’re prospective believers for them, actually saving many troubles.”

Liu Bo had considered turning towards Chaos, risking life and death against Disaster Fog. The price, though Disaster Fog is destroyed, those allied with Chaos would surely perish.

Whereas Li Ye’s contract considered both aspects.

After pondering for a moment, Liu Bo signed the contract.

Feeling the Chaos force entering his body, Liu Bo said, “Champion, if the situation truly reaches its worst.”

“Please, let go of your mercy…”
