I! Cleaner!-Chapter 1070 - 986: Green Peppers

No? Why did they all suddenly run away?

Watching the True Gods suddenly break formation and start to flee in all directions inexplicably, Leon couldn't help but be slightly taken aback and then frown.

Weren't we supposed to offer a... have a fight to the death? Why are you going back on your word? This is really... oh well, it's not a big deal.

After shaking his head slightly, Leon's eyes, glistening with colorful light, blinked softly. The vivid, multicolored origin color over his iris flickered twice, then clearly marked dozens of dark ribbons rapidly extending into the distance.

This is good. After reaching the third level of origin, even though I was forced into a riddle, the effect of this new badge is really quite practical. 𝐟𝗿𝐞𝚎𝚠𝐞𝚋𝕟𝐨𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝕔𝕠𝚖

Through the origin color coated on his iris, Leon clearly saw the fear powers spreading towards the gods. He couldn't help but nod in satisfaction, then reached out to seize one of them and tugged hard.

"Ah!!!"

With Leon's action, a female True God who didn't belong to the Slaughter King Association and merely followed out of curiosity, shrieked involuntarily. She then flew backward, landing with a thud into a mud pit.

"?!!"

Running so fast, clearly not a good god!

Like a fisherman reeling in a line, Leon dragged the god trapped in a dark blue mud pit out with the "rope" formed by the powers of fear. In just a few seconds, he pulled her back to his side.

"Food, food, food..."

"A good food god... um... I mean, you are a good god."

Reaching out to gently pat the trembling goddess on the head, Leon's expression became noticeably kinder after extracting two transparent, fragrant powers.

"Don't worry, although you're not useful, you don't seem harmful either. I won't harm you for now."

After checking the goddess's powers and confirming they were indeed harmless [Flowers] and [Summer], Leon released the hand that was gripping her throat, instead wrapping the two powers around her hands and tying a tight knot.

"But I can't completely rule out that you've never done anything bad. It's suspicious how the God of Flowers and Summer ran so fast, so you will stay here for now. I'll investigate after I bring you back."

Looping the other end of the "rope" around his arm, Leon secured the God of Flowers and Summer before switching targets, pulling another god terrified of him back.

"Help! Save me!"

Well... you should be asking for help, but it's useless.

After pulling out the second god's power and finding it was filled with the miserable [Famine] power, Leon's eyes narrowed slightly. His origin-colored right hand unhesitatingly extended to the god's neck.

There's no need to keep this one. Might as well kill it and stack the [Slaughterer of Gods] layer. Although most True Gods pose no threat to me, stacking some might come in handy someday.

"Crack!"

"Mother!!!"

Watching the second god's neck suddenly snap, followed by the instantaneous collapse of the [Famine] power, the terrified goddess couldn't help but scream, instinctively trying to run away.

Unfortunately, the other end of her [Flowers] and [Summer] powers was tied securely to Leon's arm. She barely took two steps before feeling a void surge through her body, causing her to crash to the ground uncontrollably.

"I suggest you best not run."

Glancing at the goddess who had stumbled ten meters away, Leon, already reeling in the third god, turned back to warn:

"The other end of your two powers is tied to me. The farther you run, the more powers will be pulled out, and you'll be turned back into an ordinary being if you run further. So, it's up to you whether you keep running or not, I won't stop you."

"I... I..."

"Move aside a bit; you're tangling in my rope."

Having reeled in the trembling third god, discovering they possessed [Craftsmanship] and [Artisan] powers, Leon couldn't help but be slightly delighted. He swiftly and securely bound them, placing them alongside the God of Livestock and Disease, who was wearing a boar mask.

Great, considering I've only captured four True Gods so far, having two useful ones is a good outcome. If the remaining ones follow the same "proportion," that would be excellent. After all, I'm not a cruel person... hmm... this one's got to go.

On extracting the fourth god's powers and confirming them as a fierce and murderous Evil God, Leon's expression turned slightly displeased as he reached out, stripping the powers, snapping the neck, harvesting the soul, and discarding the corpse all in one go, placing them alongside the previously eliminated God of Famine.

After swiftly processing five True Gods and establishing a preliminary identification process, Leon's work efficiency significantly improved.

Murder… right pile.

"Crack!"

Deceit… right side.

"Crack!"

Desolation… right.

"Crack!"

Law… this one should stay, bind it well.

Noble God? Doesn't seem like a good being, but not worthy of outright killing either, better take it back and inspect closely.

Under the gods' most desperate gazes, the Food God seemed to transform into a mother spider in the dark lair. Each time their hand reached out and pulled, a True God, face full of despair, was dragged backwards while screaming.

Afterward, the recalled True Gods would have their powers inspected one by one by the Food God. The useful ones would be bound securely, while the useless ones had their necks twisted mercilessly, thrown alongside the God of Famine and the God of Murder...

It was akin to a picky child flicking away the green peppers from their plate!

There's no escape, absolutely no escape!

Watching the pile of True Gods with twisted necks piled up on the side after being flicked aside by the Food God, the remaining gods finally realized that as long as they couldn't erase the fear of the Food God from their hearts, they'd be pulled back and killed, even if they fled to another plane.

Faced with this desperate situation, among the gods with no escape path, some had their ferocity ignited. Halting their fleeing steps, they turned back, eyes full of viciousness, and roared:

"Food God! Don't go too far!"

"Stop running! Let's attack together!"

"Take him down! Don't be afraid! No matter how strong he is, he can't possibly take all of us down alone!"
