Netherworld Retrograde

Capítulo 1195: Chapter 589: Calamity (Part 2)

He did not choose to approach again.

Because the Second Generation always harbored hostility towards him.

This was not her subjective hostility, but the malice of all Horror Demons towards intelligent life. She was trying hard to suppress this hostility.

Just now, when approaching, Li Ye could clearly feel her muscles tense. It seemed as if she wanted to leap up and axe Li Ye.

“Is the opponent… ‘me’?” At this moment, Li Ye also understood the identity of the enemy.

Regardless of Yan Shuang’s subconscious vigilance towards him, or the mention of his true self by the Second Generation, and the attack she encountered.

Even though I really don’t want to admit it, that Horror Demon might just be…

“That’s right, it’s you. It’s the corrupted version of you.” The Second Generation Champion responded after taking the medicine, “Your composition is quite mixed. As a result, it created such an undeserved Divine Chosen. A Three Gods’ Chosen combined with a Champion’s panel, plus a special Face. It’s really hard to deal with. High output, fast recovery, and it hits hard.”

Li Ye’s heart sank, damn it, the situation I least wanted to face has still appeared.

The corrupted version of myself… that is, the true Chaos Chosen. In the eyes of the Chaos believers…

Li Ye knew very well how troublesome it would be when an enemy with abilities identical to his appears!

No… he is even stronger!

Although Li Ye carries the title of the Divine Chosen ‘Emperor’s Fall,’ in reality, he was using Face to deceive All Gods, freeloading off their powers and blessings.

Only when activating the corresponding Face was he truly a ‘Divine Chosen.’

In a normal state, Li Ye couldn’t reap the powerful boosts of the Chaos Chosen.

But that ‘Emperor’s Fall’ is a real Divine Chosen, meaning he could receive those Divine Chosen blessings even in a normal state. He could have Divine Favor at any time, or even… Ascend Demon!

Could he use the Heroic Spirit Sea?

Could he use the Divine Demon Stele?

Li Ye’s mood gradually sank, it’s troublesome, really troublesome.

The Nightmare King hasn’t been eliminated, the Beastman Army continues to strengthen, and now comes a version of myself chosen by Three Gods. The strength seems to be even higher than mine!

Damn it!

How many people will die because of this ‘Emperor’s Fall’?

Seeing Li Ye’s complex thoughts, the Second Generation Champion walked around the villa, found a casual set of clothes from somewhere, and put them on loosely.

“Don’t get stuck, the Nine. Nothing is perfect.” She sat back on the sofa and crossed her legs, “Humanity finds hope in repeated desperation. During the outbreak of Calamity, humanity’s situation was very poor. But we Champions still passed down to the Ninth Generation… What’s up with your Cloak? Tell me about it, is the Old Mad King okay?”

Facing the inquiry of the Second Generation Champion, Li Ye suppressed his worries.

After organizing his thoughts, he informed her of the situation.

His Face ability, the origin of the Cloak, the Time Tree’s Heavenly Palace Battlefield, the Ancient Heavenly Court Battlefield, the current situation of the Old Mad King, the existence of the ark, the conspiracy of the Book Holder, and the emergence of the Master of Green Flames.

The Second Generation Champion listened attentively; these were changes in humanity’s situation after her death.

“The Chaos God has appeared for the fifth time? And is friendly to humans? The Sword Edge King… that kid finally stopped hiding. The Old Mad King’s lifespan increased at least… three thousand years into the future?” The Second Generation Champion sighed, “Many things have happened…”

Afterward, the Second Generation Champion smiled at Li Ye, “Seeing your face really takes some getting used to. I just had a fight with a guy with the same face. Especially since that face was boasting about capturing me.”

“Sorry.” Li Ye sighed.

“It’s nothing. Human Champions and Chaos Chosen represent two extremes. You and he may share abilities, but your personalities are completely different.” The Second Generation Champion comforted him.

“Could you talk about the details of your engagement with Emperor’s Fall?” Li Ye asked, “I need to take him down first!”

“He’s strong, or rather you’re strong, so he becomes even stronger.” After some thought, the Second Generation Champion said, “But there remain some differences between you two.”

“How so?”

“According to your statement, your Face connects causally with existences from history, legend, and mythology.” After recalling for a moment, the Second Generation Champion said, “When he used the instant death ability, there seemed to be an unexpected situation.”

Instant death? It’s Da Yi Face’s Heavenly Lament.

Did Emperor’s Fall experience an obstacle when using Da Yi Face?

Li Ye remembered that when unlocking the Da Yi Face, the Solar Piercing Hero seemed to cross space-time and made eye contact with Li Ye.

‘Da Yi’ was somewhat surprised, yet instantly understood.

Even communicated with Li Ye, ‘Go, young ones, don’t let yourself regret, just as I did back then!’

‘Fire the Golden Arrow once more, save those you wish to save.’

Thus, Li Ye bent the spear into a bow and used the Solar Piercing Golden Arrow to knock down the Supreme…

Therefore, Li Ye believed that Da Yi might still be alive.

And felt the causal connection, briefly communicated with Li Ye.

After all, it’s Da Yi, the heroic figure from mythology, who’s powerful and might be able to respond through a causal link.

Could it be Him discovering Emperor’s Fall’s causal connection and causing him trouble?

The possibility is high, this can somewhat limit the use of Da Yi Face by ‘Emperor’s Fall.’

If only Da Yi could shoot an arrow over, Emperor’s Fall couldn’t possibly withstand an arrow from Da Yi, right?

“Moreover, he does not have the Heroic Spirit Sea you mentioned. Otherwise, I’d be more injured, or even directly taken down.” The Second Generation Champion said.

“There’s another possibility, if he’s a copy of me, the summoned Heroic Spirits might be equivalent to mine… they would attack him first.” Li Ye contemplated.

“Could be.” The Second Generation Champion nodded, then said, “Furthermore, my divinity has not been suppressed. He lacks the ability to transform into a Divine Calamity like you. Otherwise, it’d be harder for me to handle.”

Not having… this means? No Divine Demon Stele? That doesn’t make sense…

Li Ye quickly thought, then asked, “How’s his luck?”

“Luck?” The Second Generation Champion frowned.

“Yes, I’ve watched your battlefield, such as when crossing an iceberg whether it suddenly collapses and buries him. Or when stepping on a piece of ice whether the ground suddenly gives way. This kind of Calamity.” Li Ye asked.

“What kind of jinx are you?” The Second Generation Champion teased, thought for a moment, then shook her head, “No, at least I didn’t notice.”

Li Ye pondered, “How did you end the battle?”

“Both sides took a major hit and then departed.” The Second Generation Champion said, “If I had known you were near, I should have stalled him longer. The two of us could beat him together!”

‘Siblings with an age gap of over fifty years?’ The Champion Cloak inexplicably mused.

The Second Generation Champion frowned, vaguely feeling something was offending her.

Li Ye then asked, “Just left like that? No further encounters?”

“Why?” The Second Generation Champion was puzzled.

Li Ye then came to a realization, so that’s it… that’s it!

‘Emperor’s Fall’ is different from Illusion Change, the latter directly copies the body, abilities, and curses.

But Emperor’s Fall is shaped based on the perception of a particular angle.

‘Emperor’s Fall’ does not have You Must Meet Strong Enemies!

Li Ye’s initial curse was not ‘Calamity,’ but ‘Heavenly Slaughter Star,’ a negative impact curse on close ones.

Mr. Shadow’s appearance elevated Li Ye’s curse from ‘Heavenly Slaughter Star’ to ‘Calamity,’ adding a heap of negative effects such as Vehicle Killer, Heavenly Thunder Bombing, You Must Meet Strong Enemies, etc…

Simultaneously, due to ‘Calamity’ being of high specification, Li Ye gained curse resistance, not affected by the companion curses of other Spiritual Ability Users.

The Divine Demon Stele enhanced ‘Calamity,’ turning Li Ye into a Causality-level Divine Calamity!

This signifies that ‘Emperor’s Fall’ does not have Mr. Shadow; indeed, how could Disaster Fog dare to construct Mr. Shadow-like existence?

“Then it’s… winnable!”
