I! Cleaner!-Chapter 1049 - 966: The Plan

We’re screwed!

Looking at the red-haired director whose eyes were full of certainty even when asking "Isn’t that right?", Leon couldn’t help but sigh at his bad luck. He then signaled Young Ha to take out a small bottle, inserted a straw, and took a sip.

"What’s that?"

"The antidote for the separation potion, I got it from Senior Amien."

After stretching his slightly stiff body, Leon explained with a grim expression:

"The day after you left, Senior Jerry returned. I got a few scent-sensitive mice from him and tracked all the places you visited in the past few days. I found out you went to Senior Amien’s office, so I asked about it.

And although you threatened her not to speak, I also threatened her, saying that if she didn’t tell the truth, she’d be forever banned from collecting materials in the [Hell of Filth]. So not only did she tell me what you did, but she also gave me a copy of the antidotes for all the potions you took."

"I see..."

After silently noting a black mark for the traitor, seeing Leon stretching in front of him, the red-haired director couldn’t help but sigh.

I’ve lost...

Although I saw through Leon’s plot at the last moment and didn’t reveal the specifics of the plan, only explaining why I stood with the Snake, in the end, I still fell for Leon’s trap.

Leon drove that idiot Snake into running frantically but never aimed to kill him outright, probably intending to force me to come to him, then find a way to extract my plan.

After all, I had already shown resistance before. I definitely wouldn’t reveal it casually; only when caught by him might I let my guard down and disclose the plan...

Damn! This little rascal is getting more cunning!

After fully understanding Leon’s intentions, the red-haired director closed his eyes and said:

"So what? What do you decide to do?"

"Me?"

"That idiot Snake has already been captured by you."

Looking at the Snake Director who was still pinned down through the unusual item left on him, the red-haired director reopened his eyes and said wearily:

"In my plan, he is an indispensable link, but if I’m not mistaken, his life must already be in your hands, and he’s no longer capable of resisting you... or maybe even me?"

"There’s no way... The [Thirty-Two Preservers] on you aren’t just for show!"

Quickly shaking his head, denying the red-haired director’s assertion, Leon stealthily directed Young Ha to put away the "Temporary Notice on Canceling the Decision to Expel Olivia Farolan from the Royal Family"and then wrapped his arm around Princess Aerial’s waist, saying sincerely:

"I just want to take this chance to have an open and honest conversation with you to see if there’s a better solution to this issue."

"..."

So... you really have a way to bypass the protection of [Thirty-Two Preservers] and subdue me directly?

Looking at Leon in front of him, who stubbornly refused to admit it, the red-haired director suspected a few things based on his behavior and sighed, giving up the idea of trying to launch a sneak attack, before asking:

"What do you want to talk about..."

"Of course, your plan!"

Seeing that the red-haired director’s attitude finally softened, Leon couldn’t help but feel relieved and continued warmly:

"Director, I respect the choice you’ve made, but before that, I want to know what exactly you plan to do. Things might not necessarily reach that point, and perhaps we can find a mutually beneficial solution."

"There won’t be any other way."

The red-haired director shook his head, calmly saying:

"This isn’t an issue that your superior intellect or strength can solve... The people of the East Carleighwen Kingdom were erased from this world long ago, and the only way to resurrect them is through the Crimson Blood that the Snake Director has integrated with.

Before being destroyed by the [Thirteen Ant Colony], Snake had already initially completed his plan, replacing all the blood of the East Carleighwen Kingdom’s people with Crimson Blood, essentially making them a part of the Snake Director and even the Crimson Overlord, and Pillar Gods don’t truly die."

"So... it’s possible to ’resurrect’ the ’dead’ blood through the Snake Director?"

"Yes."

Nodding in agreement with Leon’s words, the red-haired director continued:

"However, such a resurrection only brings back the blood, not complete people, so the Snake Director needs to ascend to godhood and create his divine kingdom on the old grounds of East Kalavin Kingdom.

In his divine kingdom, all those killed by the [Thirteen Ant Colony] can, through the links formed by the Crimson Blood, become his believers, and a True God has the power to bring believers into the divine kingdom to become heroic spirits."

To elevate the Snake Director to godhood...

Leon pondered for a moment upon hearing this, then frowned tightly and said:

"So the Slaughter King Association’s condition is that after he’s taken away the [Justice] bloodline from everyone in the West Caraille Kingdom, weakening the Watcher’s Palace, they’ll allow the Snake Director to enter the Source God Platform, permitting him to imprint his will on the corresponding divine powers and become a newly born True God?"

"Hmm."

That’s really a bit troublesome...

Upon hearing this, Leon couldn’t help but frown and said:

"So the Slaughter King Association is a ’use first, pay later’ setup. If the Snake Director and you don’t first weaken the Watcher’s Palace, it’s destined that the citizens of East Carleighwen Kingdom can’t be resurrected?"

"Use first, pay later... it’s pretty much like that."

Nodding once again, before Leon could ask more, the red-haired director proactively explained:

"As for my plan, it’s to suppress Snake’s bloodline exchange, maintaining at a point where it’s about to switch the bloodline, becoming the last [Justice] bloodline, and ascending to godhood before Snake."

The one attempting to ascend will be taken away by the Source God Platform along with their ’divine power’, effectively cutting off the bloodline of the West Carleighwen Kingdom in the present world."

"I think I understand your plan..."

Leon said somewhat uncertainly:

"The Source God Platform is a fairly vast plane. After you go there, you won’t be found immediately, and you can have the Slaughter King Association fulfill its promise first, assisting the Snake Director in becoming a god and resurrecting all the people of East Carleighwen Kingdom. Meanwhile, you won’t have truly disappeared, so the Watcher’s Palace can be maintained...

But what then? You won’t be in the present world anymore, so how will you bring back your [Justice] bloodline?"

"Enter the depths of the Source God Platform and complete the final step of the ascent."

The red-haired director calmly replied:

"When I begin to imprint my will on the justice divine power, the [Justice] bloodline I possess will conflict with the Snake who’s already become a God of Justice. The competition between two Ascenders for the same divine power will indirectly connect the present world and the Source God Platform.

At that time, Snake can continue to push the bloodline exchange at the critical point, swapping my bloodline onto a dark-haired person in East Carleighwen Kingdom, letting him replace me as the last [Justice] bloodline... hmm..."

At this point, the red-haired director paused slightly, glanced at Leon’s hair color, and seemed to discover something amusing, causing the corner of his mouth to lift.

"The speed at which your hair changes color is actually slower than Snake’s... Leon, if no one has a higher bloodline concentration than yours, then the [Justice] bloodline I return might just fall onto you. You better take good care of yourself~"
