Worthless Profession: Dragon Tamer

Chapter 988, Beneath the Beautiful Appearance Is…

“You’re different though. You actually knew to probe for my goal.”

“After knowing my goal is to prevent Ancient Gods from ending this era, you then stated your goal is the same as mine. Then, you even wanted to use your appearance to tempt me into cooperating with you.”

“Everything you did was to make me abandon the thought of killing you, and instead stand in the same camp as you. That way, your immediate crisis would be resolved. You’d even have an opportunity to find a chance to devour me later. Or even devour the other four Divine Seat holders travelling with me together.”

“If you truly only have the strength of a Mid Tier Ancient God but can become a High Tier Ancient God every time, then I must say your cunningness is definitely your greatest achievement.”

After these words, the chain hooks gradually tightened, binding the Moon Goddess’s body until it became somewhat distorted.

The Moon Goddess’s face showed no expression of pain, as if this appearance had no sensation for her whatsoever.

A smile emerged on her face, incomparably sincere. “Why would you think this way? I believe there must be some misunderstanding. I had no interest whatsoever in the Ancient Gods Struggle For Supremacy. Moreover, I truly love this era. If you’re willing to preserve this era, I not only won’t oppose you, I could even help you achieve your goal with all of my capabilities.”

“Everything I’ve said is sincere, without any ill intentions against you. Release me, and I’ll naturally demonstrate my sincerity…”

“No need!” Lu Fan directly interrupted the Moon Goddess’s words, sneering coldly. “The words you just spoke have already shown me your sincerity.”

“If you truly had no interest in the Ancient Gods Struggle For Supremacy, why would you secretly negotiate with other Ancient Gods, have them bring the other two Ancient Gods here for you to divide and consume? Secretly subverting other Ancient Gods is enough proof that you’re not as averse to competition as you claimed.”

“Since you had such intentions yet still insisted you had no thoughts about the Ancient Gods Struggle For Supremacy, how credible do you think that is? At the very least, I won’t believe a single word you say. Even if you truly are as you described, what does that have to do with me? As long as you are even slightly suspicious, I won’t trust you. After all, I’d rather have one fewer ally than one more enemy lurking at my side!”

The Moon Goddess was different from Ouyang Bai Ge.

Before proposing cooperation, Ouyang Bai Ge had already demonstrated her sincerity. At that time, Lu Fan also had no alternative. He could only choose to trust Ouyang Bai Ge.

From that perspective, Ouyang Bai Ge was truly trustworthy. At least now, with her help, Lu Fan had progressed from having almost no chance to having a ten-to-twenty-percent chance.

But this Moon Goddess clearly had other thoughts. Lu Fan could not trust her.

If she truly did not want to participate in the Ancient Gods Struggle For Supremacy, why would she bestow Ancient God Power upon her followers, facilitating her control over them and consumption of their Life Force at those critical moments?

If she did not want to participate in the Ancient Gods Struggle For Supremacy, why would she try to deceive those two Ancient Gods into coming here to consume them?

Lu Fan even suspected the Moon Goddess’s target actually was not two Ancient Gods at all. She wanted to double-cross them all, and directly take down all three!

Moreover, Lu Fan’s current situation was developing in a positive direction.

He did not need to negotiate any terms with the Moon Goddess. The best outcome was seizing the Moon Goddess’s Divine Seat.

All things considered, Lu Fan had absolutely no intention of any cooperation with the Moon Goddess.

Having heard Lu Fan’s words, the Moon Goddess’s expression froze, then she actually began laughing. It was extremely maniacal. Instantly, her flawless appearance became terrifyingly hideous.

“Excellent! I never imagined that though you’re merely someone from the current era who just obtained an Ancient God Divine Seat, you’re more intelligent than many other Ancient Gods. That’s right. Everything I just said was to deceive you. I am participating in the Ancient Gods Struggle For Supremacy for myself. I too want to become the God King!”

“Originally, I could have had you and the others all devoured, waiting until the next era for all of you to resurrect. But now, you’ve truly angered me. I’ve decided to kill you and seize your Divine Seats to give it to my lovely followers! If you want to blame something, blame your own ignorance!”

With that, her body suddenly began to expand.

However, because she was bound by the Little Blade Armour Dragon King’s chain hooks, the bound portions of her body could not expand at all.

This resulted in her resembling a tied-up balloon. It was incomparably bizarre and absurd.

That originally supremely beautiful figure and face had now completely distorted, devoid of any aesthetic appeal.

Finally, this appearance burst open.

Lu Fan had been prepared and did not dare get too close, immediately retreating backward.

However, he did not retract the Little Blade Armour Dragon King’s chain hooks. After all, if he could bind her with the chain hooks, he would have an inherent advantage.

Yet as Lu Fan retreated, a black shadow drilled out from his chain hooks.

That black shadow was incomparably slippery. The chain hooks simply could not bind it down, which gave it the opportunity to escape.

After it escaped, Lu Fan could see its True Form.

It was an existence over ten meters long, resembling an eel in appearance. Its entire body was slimy, its appearance utterly indescribable. It was hideously ugly.

Even Lu Fan found it impossible to connect the thing before him with the Moon Goddess from moments ago.

Thinking that if he had truly believed her words and had lost that last bit of self-control, he might have rolled in bed with such a thing… he felt a chill all over his body.

The Ancient God’s True Form was finally revealed, she exchanged no further words with Lu Fan. Opening her mouth directly, a beam of moonlight shot toward Lu Fan.

Lu Fan immediately dodged. This moonlight grazed his body and blasted out, leaving a penetrating deep crater in the ground.

This strike appeared harmless, yet it had pierced through the enormous Moon!

If he actually took that hit, it would not feel pleasant at all!

Lu Fan immediately raised his assessment of her danger level several notches. He promptly summoned all his Pet Dragons, preparing to have a proper battle with her.

All the Pet Dragons surged forward together, releasing Skills to bombard her.

But she was not easy to deal with either. Her slippery body constantly weaved through the Skills, dodging almost all avoidable Damage.

Even when Skills were about to land on her body, she would prop up a Moonlight Barrier, blocking the Skills.
