I! Cleaner!-Chapter 1068 - 984: The Deal

"Or... How about we go capture the Scarlet Hair Lady!"

After flipping the Origin Mud Plate hanging in the starry river with the True Gods of the Slaughter King Association and failing to find any trace of the Food God, Myna nervously suggested, feeling his heart beating faster and faster:

"I don't know why, but ever since I got here, my heart's been restless. I feel like something bad will happen if we stay too long..."

"?!"

Hearing Myna's words, the True Gods shuddered in unison.

If it were before, people might think Myna was just scared of the Food God to the point of madness. But since he's been right so many times, if they ignore his advice again, it'd be everyone else's mind that's gone, not his.

Especially now, with the Food God missing; although they saw him fall from the Ascension Steps, the Food God must be near the Origin Mud Plate, yet he's nowhere to be seen...

"Let's wait a bit more!"

Seeing the True Gods thinking of retreating, the silent White Snake clenched his fists and then stepped forward with a pale face, saying:

"I don't want to be like a pigeon trapped in a cage by an eagle, fearing for my life every day, hiding from the cleansing squads and worrying about the Food God's massacre... Those who want to find the Scarlet Hair Lady can go, but I'm staying!"

"..."

That's right...

Seeing the determined White Snake, the True Gods exchanged glances. They vaguely felt that he wasn't entirely wrong.

Even though Myna's "plan" was highly feasible, it only worked well for him. For the others, living wedged between the cleansing squads and the Food God sounded worse than death. Better to take a risk and stay!

"No! This isn't right!"

With a clear thumping sound, Myna's expression changed. He clutched his chest, stepping back a few steps, and then said with a blank face:

"There's something wrong! Absolutely something wrong!!!"

"?!!"

Amidst the startled expressions of the True Gods, Myna said in a panic:

"Something must have isolated the Food God just now, momentarily blocking my truth! Now he's coming back! And he's coming back more dangerous than ever! I... I can't! I need to leave! I have to go!"

"Wait!"

Seeing Myna preparing to flee, the White Snake hurriedly grabbed him.

"You can go! But the Serpent Master's name you have to..."

"Here! Take it back!"

Flinging his hand to free himself from the White Snake, but failing, Myna stomped his foot and begrudgingly took out a ball of light, shoving it rudely into the White Snake's mouth, and cried out amidst the drumming of his heart:

"I might be wrong! There are no three options; other than capturing the Scarlet Hair Lady, the other two are dead ends... Let go! Let me go!"

This dramatic?!

Hearing Myna's urgent shouts, the True Gods' expressions changed multiple times.

After another round of being shot down by the Food God, around sixty True Gods remained in attendance, and with those who came sensing the Source God Platform's anomaly, the number of True Gods on the Origin Mud Plate surpassed a hundred.

No matter how strong the Food God is, he's just one person. Could countless True Gods really not deal with him? Could it really lead to a dead end?

"Lord Myna... Are you sure?"

Weighing both sides, unable to fathom why it would be a dead end, the Mountain Pig True God hesitantly asked:

"We didn't even plan to attack this time; we just wanted to negotiate with the Food God... Now there are over a hundred True Gods here on the Origin Mud Plate, and more are arriving. Are we really in danger just by negotiating?"

"Negotiate? What do you want to negotiate with me?"

"Of course... Oh my god!"

Hearing the curious inquiry from behind, the Mountain Pig True God was about to answer but suddenly realized it was wrong. Screaming, he started to run but was ultimately dragged back by a firm arm around his neck.

In the horrified eyes of the True Gods, looking at the Food God who removed his mask to reveal his true face, the Mountain Pig True God, nearly choked, wailed:

"Foo-Foo-Food Foo-Food..."

"Want some pancakes?"

Casually cracking a joke only he understood, Leon, who emerged from the 3rd Origin realm, tightened his grip, lifting the limp Mountain Pig True God, and looked around at the True Gods on the Origin Mud Plate before asking again:

"Speak, what do you want to negotiate with me?"

"..."

"Food God!"

Seeing the Mountain Pig True God, restrained by Leon and too scared to even tremble, the White Snake Masked Man couldn't help but hold onto Myna tighter and shouted angrily:

"You better let him go!"

"?"

Looking at the White Snake suddenly "threatening" him, Leon blinked in confusion and pointed at Myna, who was tightly held by the White Snake, and said with puzzlement:

"What if I don't let go? Will you tear up Myna with me, strangling him to death?"

"Food God! Don't be too arrogant!"

Seeing Leon raise his hand, channeling the three "level fifty" powers of [Blood], [Death], and [Fear], slowly pressing them toward the Mountain Pig True God's head, the White Snake shouted in anger to stop him:

"Isn't Serpent Counselor working with you? His name on the [Law Book] is in my hands! If I crush it now, he will die for sure! And as soon as he dies, your plans will be completely thwarted!"

My plans... Reviving the citizens of East Carleighwen Kingdom and reconnecting Watcher's Palace?

"Food God! Let's make a deal!"

Seeing Leon pause his hand, not directly using sheer power to crush the Mountain Pig True God, White Snake secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

With limbs intertwined like four white phosphorus pythons, firmly binding the trembling Myna, ensuring he couldn't escape, White Snake braced himself and said:

"You can't revive the twelve million deceased of East Carleighwen Kingdom without Serpent Counselor, and his life is now in my... our hands!"

Swallowing the light ball representing Serpent Counselor's name, White Snake removed his mask, spat out another light ball, and explained:

"This is a page of the [Law Book]... Our terms are already signed on it. As long as you give up becoming a True God and leave the Source God Platform, promising not to covet eternal life, we will return Serpent Counselor's name to you!"
