Defying the Fate of Beheading
Chapter 917 - 467: God of Time and the Paradox Device
Mr. One wiped away a cold sweat.
When he saw Louis appear in front of him, his first thought was that he was done for.
Facing a monster like this up close was far more serious than being sent to the guillotine.
Even if the guillotine were enhanced with magic, it couldn’t cut off his head, but Louis didn’t need any equipment to blow his head up.
Fortunately, the other party immediately said he wasn’t here for him.
This allowed Mr. One to breathe a sigh of relief.
He thought it might be because he had slightly raised the tariffs on imported magic materials, causing dissatisfaction.
But in the next moment, he became anxious again.
"W-Why is Helmer coming to us?"
"Perhaps he thinks your location on the Edge of the Sword Coast is too advantageous."
The Demon King Army’s growth rate is quite astonishing.
Being trapped in the Underground City was still manageable.
Once they break free, the Demon King Army can turn the people they kill into newborn monsters via demonic qi.
If they start rolling like a snowball, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Mr. One’s face turned dark.
Since Louis wasn’t planning to kill him, the biggest threat actually became the Demon King.
Strictly speaking, facing Demon King Helmer is more troublesome than facing Louis.
After all, Louis stands on the side of the human faction.
He can at least be reasoned with.
Helmer, however, will not reason with anyone.
He will only chop off everyone’s heads and turn them into members of the Demon King Army.
Thinking of this, he looked towards the other members of the O5 Council.
Everyone nodded and said:
"Then we must trouble Marquis Louis to assist us in eradicating this world disaster."
Louis nodded, glanced at Olivia, and said:
"Olivia, you stay here first; I’ll go to the Supreme Forest and be right back."
"Alright."
In the next moment, his figure vanished from the scene.
Everyone frowned.
They couldn’t quite discern how Louis teleported away.
Olivia smiled and explained:
"Didn’t you guess when you saw him teleport over just now?"
The group was terrified.
Indeed, it was the direction they least wanted to face.
Wherever Princess Ense’s avatar is located, that’s where Louis can directly reach.
It’s practically a nightmare for the Extraordinary.
A great sin capable of creating numerous avatars, coupled with a Divine Realm that can teleport to her side at any time.
It’s like the call of the Death God.
Olivia gave them a subtle glance.
For a moment, she didn’t know what to say about this group in the O5 Council.
Was it because they felt their strength was closer to Ense’s, so they felt threatened by this ability?
Yet for Louis’s domain, Am Empire isn’t even among the reinforcements.
You could say they are really good at investing.
Back when the supply chain system wasn’t fully established, they were shamelessly trying to join in.
Now, they’ve tasted some early benefits, but aren’t strong by any means.
At least Tunisia, having caught their breath, wants to find a chance to punch them.
After all, these merchants took advantage of Tunisia’s conflict with the trolls to play dirty tricks behind the scenes.
After completing her mission, Olivia left first and returned to her residence for rest.
However, the O5 Council was pondering a question.
Since Helmer plans to start a battle on their territory...
"We need to activate that thing."
Mr. Two, who had been silent, said calmly.
The members of the O5 Council exchanged glances.
Mr. One was silent for a moment and said:
"It’s better not to activate that thing just yet. If we use it, not only do we lose our final trump card, but if it doesn’t work as expected, we might face mad retaliation."
Lady Five added quietly:
"It’s not mad retaliation; it would be a fight to the death."
After a moment of silence, Mr. Two said:
"You’re right; let’s not test this possibility. The O5 Council was established to lock this thing down. Whether for us or for the external world, it’s better if it remains dormant."
At this point, Lady Four suddenly looked up at Lady Five and asked:
"What is this thing you’re all talking about?"
The faces of the O5 Council members instantly froze in horror.
They silently drew their weapons, and Mr. One calmly said:
"Four, I’m giving you a chance to explain; don’t force us to act against you."
Lady Four, bewildered, said:
"What on earth were you talking about? I don’t understand your meaning."
Mr. One with a complex expression said:
"There’s nothing more to say. Four, you’re under arrest."
Lady Four’s face showed anger:
"You’re arresting me without giving a reason, thinking I won’t resist?"
Yet, she was taken aback as she saw the horrified expressions from the O5 Council members directed at her.
She couldn’t understand what was happening, but in the next moment, her sharp eyes noticed her reflection in the glass window, with her lips slightly curling upward.
But she had no intention of smiling.
She was very angry at the moment.
At that moment, she finally realized something was wrong with herself.
Instinctively, she wanted to smash her forehead.
She had a way to bring herself back to life after death.
Yet in the next moment, her mouth uncontrollably uttered a cold voice:
"Turns out that guy was right."
The next moment, she lost consciousness.
And then...
A roaring sound echoed again.
Soon, everything returned to silence.
In the Imperial Capital of Am Empire, a gigantic crater appeared.
A massive number of citizens had no time to react and were instantly turned to dust.
The citizens in the surrounding areas fell to the ground in agony, wailing.
A twisted force was tearing apart their flesh and invading their bodies.
