Endless Debt-Chapter 961 - 56: Encounter Battle (Part 2)
He paused for a few seconds, Mammon’s voice became severe.
"Tell me, Second Seat, tell me, what exactly is Leviathan plotting?"
Countless crimson eyes watched the Second Seat.
"I can give you everything you want, Second Seat."
The Second Seat’s body started shaking, then erupted in mocking laughter, he laughed for a while, almost to the point of coughing up blood, before he slowly stopped.
"Leviathan has already given me everything I need," the Second Seat shook his head, "as for what you want to know... Leviathan knows my heart of revenge, so he chose to help me with revenge, it’s just that simple. As for more, I know nothing."
The writhing of tar was stagnant for a moment, and the Second Seat continued, "All I know is that my revenge will somehow help him, that’s it."
"An unavoidable scheme?"
"Yes, that’s right," the Second Seat agreed, nodding, "That’s also what I find terrifying about him, he will help you, because helping you is helping himself."
Mammon said, "It seems that if I can stop you from reclaiming Xilin’s body, I might indirectly foil his plans."
"Ready to take action?"
The Second Seat showed no change in response to the Devil’s threat, "The situation here is already chaotic enough, are you sure?"
Mammon was silent, staring at the Second Seat for a long time, suddenly throwing out an ambiguous comment.
"You’ve changed a lot, Second Seat.
The changes brought by pain might twist your appearance, but with your inner resilience, it shouldn’t twist your will."
Mammon drew closer to the Second Seat, the scorching tar emitting a foul stench, countless crimson eyes flickered like breathing lights.
"You’re not the same Second Seat as I remember..."
Mammon’s voice was cold and merciless.
"Are you truly the Second Seat?"
The Second Seat remained silent, devoid of expressions, unable to display any expressions now, he was akin to a dried-up corpse.
"Hahaha!"
A grotesque laughter erupted from the tar, the pitch-black tar transformed into a writhing, distorted black serpent, which coiled around the Second Seat’s body, wrapping around his neck, staying by his ear.
Mammon whispered in a voice only the Second Seat could hear.
"I don’t know what Leviathan is really up to, but I know who you are..."
This time the Second Seat finally reacted, his bloodshot eyes slowly moved, fixing on the serpent slithering by his ear.
"You can deceive everyone, but you can’t deceive the Devil, let alone me."
The poisonous snake dissipated, and the fleeing tar reorganized once more in front of the Second Seat, deliberately emphasizing his words.
"You acknowledge this... Second Seat?"
The Shadow-Seeing King remained the same, prompting Mammon to erupt into uncontrollable laughter, his laughter was earth-shattering, as if the entire Fog Abyss Fortress was shaking violently from it.
"I will help you," Mammon put away his hostility, "I want to see what Leviathan truly intends to do, of course, I’m even more curious about your fate."
The tar dispersed, returning to the shadows, the sinister words echoed around the Shadow King’s ear.
"When you need it, the gray mist will envelope the entire realm of Oubos."
The Shadow King slowly stood up, the faint sound was heard.
"By the way, the Order Bureau’s action team has infiltrated the Fog Abyss Fortress."
Mammon completely left, the Shadow King donned the Silver Mask once again, from the shadows on one side, the Third Seat clad in Iron Armor stepped out of the darkness.
The Third Seat asked, "Are you alright?"
"Nothing much."
The Shadow King indicated that he was fine, as for Mammon’s words, he never took them to heart.
From the start to the end, Mammon didn’t understand one thing, everything was under the Astronaut’s plan, he wouldn’t allow anyone to disrupt the plan, even if the Order Bureau and King’s Secret Sword united, even if their army descended upon them, Xilin’s body would still return to the Shadow King’s possession, this was destined, just like fate.
The Shadow King believed it so.
The Third Seat asked, "Can his words be trusted?"
"He has no reason to lie... someone has infiltrated?"
The Shadow King looked at the Third Seat, who fell silent, seemed like he was thinking, or perhaps had lost consciousness, after a few seconds of pause, he spoke.
"After self-inspection, a vulnerability appeared in the Void Realm, strangely, it didn’t trigger any alarms."
"Don’t underestimate the Order Bureau."
The Shadow King said, "Deal with them, don’t let them discover the Decay Epidemic."
If the Order Bureau discovered such a massive Decay Epidemic, it would only expedite the decisive battle of this conflict.
The Shadow King wasn’t ready yet.
...
"Damn, this place is really huge, are they hiding here all the time?"
In the dim corridor, Palmer’s voice resonated in the minds of several people through the Whistle, under Palmer’s peculiar nature, this secret infiltration turned into a sightseeing tour, ever since entering the Fog Abyss Fortress, Palmer’s gaze hadn’t ceased.
The place they occupied could be considered a historical building, only now this historical building has undergone obvious secondary renovation, it has been reinforced in various ways to prevent its collapse. 𝗳𝐫𝚎𝗲𝚠𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝘃𝚎𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝗺
The architecture was cold and silent, there weren’t many King’s Shield Guards stationed here, since the infiltration, Bologue’s party hadn’t encountered any enemies.
Bologue didn’t relax vigilance because of this, though the members of King’s Shield Guards were few, most of them hailed from the King’s Secret Sword, their overall strength was formidable and not to be underestimated.
