I! Cleaner!-Chapter 1224 - 1113: Schemes Upon Schemes Upon Schemes and Damn, I’m Freaking Smart_2
"Shh!"
Just as the Scorpion executive was about to spit out crushed iron pellets, the Mermaid beauty reached out and wiped his mouth away remotely. In the next moment, she appeared in front of the Scorpion executive, gently tapped him on the forehead.
"Not very smart, but your courage is commendable. You're not too bad~"
No, you're the one who's not smart! Your whole family is not smart! I'm super clever, okay?
Stunned by the Mermaid beauty's slap, the furious Scorpion executive was ready to strike back, but suddenly saw a flash of colorful light. Next, he "saw" his back marked by the wrist palm demon's black handprint.
Am I done for? Am I really that weak?
Seeing his body instantly activated, then shattered into pieces under the erosion of colorful rays, the spirit of the Scorpion executive was shocked, doubting his own strength.
However, what happened next shocked him even more.
A hand glowing with color gently grabbed his soul's head and twisted it in a certain direction. His soulless body followed the same motion, painfully spraying out two streams of rust-red iron mist.
Soon after, a scoundrel who had recklessly abandoned him earlier was swept into the path of the iron mist by an invisible sea current. In an instant, he was rusted into an iron statue, sinking straight down to the seabed.
Watching the unwillingly sinking Cancer executive, before his vision was completely obscured by colorful light and his consciousness fully sank, the Scorpion executive couldn't help but have a peculiar thought.
Looks like I'm not the only weak one, you're not that great either!
...
Phew... These executives from the Cleaning Bureau, their abilities aren't impressive, but dealing with them sure is troublesome.
The Mermaid beauty rubbed the Scorpion executive's soul in her hand and reinserted it back into the body sealed by "Color of Origin". She then waved to create a stream that threw him down where the iron statue had descended.
As for the surrounding members of the Sea Race, it was as if their senses were partly blocked; not one of them noticed the sinking "statues" of flesh and iron, continuing to scream and flee while inwardly cursing the Mermaid beauty's reckless behavior.
"Almost done! Almost done!"
Glancing at "herself" far away, who was both ensuring and overseeing the demolition work, and at the elderly merman sighing behind "herself", trying to persuade her to not mess around, the Mermaid beauty seemed to remember something, and a gentle expression flickered in her eyes.
However, as she prepared to swim back and merge with her avatar to continue the major demolition project of the Tidal Realm, the shell pendant hanging beneath her ear suddenly opened its small mouth slightly and spoke discontentedly:
"Why did you send Food God to the Netherworld? That's not what we agreed on."
"..."
Hearing the questioning voice beside her ear, the Mermaid beauty's steps paused slightly, then she smiled faintly without much emotion:
"What deal? Haven't I already fulfilled my promise to you?"
"Don't pretend!"
The shell earring snapped in anger:
"We agreed earlier that we'd create an opportunity for you to seize the present world's origin. As an exchange, you were supposed to take the sea eye to the Ring Time Mountain of Old Soil and deliver Food God right to our encirclement!"
"Is that so~"
Hearing this, the Mermaid beauty blinked, then answered apologetically:
"Maybe I just missed my homeland too much and accidentally slipped?"
"..."
Accidentally slipped my ass! You did it on purpose!
Seeing the Mermaid beauty starting to act shamelessly, the shell earring roared in anger:
"Do you know how much we sacrificed to create this opportunity for you? You..."
"I know, I know."
The Mermaid beauty smiled:
"The Crimson King granted me blood and flesh from the ocean, making me a pure-blood mermaid with no anomalies, even Food God can't detect anything wrong;
Omnia Cicada aligned me with the world's rules, preventing me from being influenced by the destruction of the Netherworld and allowing me to perfectly integrate into this newly structured world;
Azure Sleep disturbed order, instilling me with disaster of destruction, providing the chance to escape fate and offering a possibility to change everything anew;
The Old King twisted the stable flow of time and placed non-existent me back into the past, awaiting the opportunity to seize the origin..."
Grabbing the shell earring to end its speaking rights, the Mermaid beauty smilingly continued:
"From the moment I arrived in this world, you've been incessantly reminding me of these talks, I could recite them two hundred years ago! Although you helped me, offering me a second life and a chance to capture the origin, it doesn't mean I should thank you.
You only aim to exploit my desire for the origin to gain an opportunity to kill Leon, thus shelling out vast sacrifices for my second life. So starting from the very source, the one I should truly thank is Leon himself.
Since he helped me such a great deal, giving me a second chance at life, how could I bear harming him, don't you agree?"
"Hiss... Seems reasonable?"
"No way, she's just spewing nonsense!"
Arguing with itself, the released shell earring angrily stated:
"Whatever you say, Food God mustn't return to the world! You need to shut the sea eye to the Netherworld!"
"I'm sealing it, sealing it~"
Looking at the sea eye continuously spewing various buildings, the Mermaid beauty smiled:
"Before obtaining this world's origin, I also don't wish him to return. But sealing the sea eye completely requires merging the half taken away by the Tidal Realm back with the remaining half in the world.
But doing so would cause the entire Tidal Realm to collapse, and there're too many people and things there. I must wait until they're fully relocated~" 𝘧𝓇𝑒𝑒𝑤ℯ𝑏𝓃𝘰𝑣ℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮
"Evangelin! Are you messing with us?"
The shell earring, or rather the mighty Four Pillar Gods, angrily exclaimed:
"After you seize the origin, the whole sky, earth, and sea of the world will rapidly shrink back to the state during the Decennial Court descendants. At that time, 90% of the Sea Race would perish!
Be it the world's collapse post-origin capture or the spatial turbulence from Tidal Realm's fall, the result is the same for them—death! They'll all die!
Damn it! You've decided to seize the world's origin yet risk Food God returning while making us wait for these doomed Sea Race to relocate? Are you insane?"
Am I insane?
The Mermaid beauty fell silent for a moment upon hearing this, then glanced at the chaotic Sea Race around her and chuckled lightly.
"Probably, and it seems I'm quite insane."
"You?!"
"Okay."
Grabbing the shell earring attempting to speak, she summoned a stream binding its "mouth" tightly, then leisurely swam toward the direction of the sea eye.
"I need to help them relocate; let's talk about other things later when I'm free!"
You lunatic! You're all lunatics!
Crazy! They're all crazy!
As the Mermaid beauty swam to the other side of the sea eye, resuming her grand demolition task, the wrist palm demon previously killed and discarded by the Scorpion executive suddenly opened its eyes. It swam to where the Scorpion executive fell and.
Dove into the Scorpion executive's remains, it found a small bag of intact "Stardust." Relieved, it grasped the bag tightly with the thumb and little fingers, then sprinted toward the sea eye.
Netherworld, huh... Aquarius! I'm coming to save you!
