I Don't Want to Get Hurt, So I'll Max Out My Defense-Chapter 2079 - 2107: Suspected Out-of-Control [Wealthy Li Xiaobai]
Hall of Gods.
More than twenty gods gathered together, surrounding the Father God, and before them, a giant mirror displayed the scene below.
In the scene was a young man, rushing quickly, continuously conquering one city after another.
"Ancient Buddha, your followers have been completely absorbed, and in the future, I fear your disciples of the Buddhist Sect will be called remnants."
The Fire God joked.
The Ancient Buddha remained silent, his expression very unpleasant.
The Water God said: "It has been confirmed, there is no Materialism God; it’s all the doing of this intruder named Li Xiaobai. The Cultivation Technique he brings has the potential to change the entire landscape of the Cultivation World."
"Changing the landscape would require at least hundreds of years, but he won’t live that long."
"I’ve been pondering why we repeatedly encounter difficulties when dealing with the intruder. After much thought, it’s still because we’re too conservative. In the wild, humans can fight wolves barehanded but end up dying in the wolves’ den out of fear of injury."
"Now, as our ranks grow stronger, it’s time to go to full-scale war. We shouldn’t act superior, always sending lower-ranked individuals to handle things, and then the weaker ones get crushed while the elders step in, giving the enemy an opportunity to refine themselves through repeated encounters."
"When we fight, it should be an all-out attack. Regardless of whether there are helpers among the gods for the intruder, we just need to end this farce before they can react, and everything can return to its original track. I propose that all twenty-four gods here, half an hour from now, join forces to kill the intruder. Whether the opponent is in the Saint God Realm or the Dao Fruit Realm, treat them equally, and handle them with caution!"
The Father God stroked his beard and said leisurely.
"The Father God is right. I’ve also been reflecting lately; to be honest, it boils down to not taking him seriously enough, resulting in huge losses. If we had addressed the intruder with all our might during the first encounter, he would have been eliminated long ago."
The Ancient God spoke, having suffered a major setback at the hands of the Chaos World’s Four Monkeys, largely because of being dragged out for too long.
If there weren’t unnecessary words, no long-winded talks, and we targeted the enemy’s core directly, even if experts blocked him, he could severely injure the opponent. How could he have been defeated utterly while the enemy escaped unscathed?
In other words, if the Wine God had unleashed his full force initially and slain the Pig-headed Emperor, the future Chaos World’s Four Monkeys wouldn’t have come.
Though they are gods now, remnants of human weaknesses remain, which is unfavorable.
The Father God nodded slightly: "Since we have reached a consensus, let the Mirror God provide the essential target data, and be sure to remember it clearly."
An old woman with silver hair slowly stepped out, her sleeve gently gliding across the giant mirror, shifting the image from Li Xiaobai to a little white dog.
"This old body has discovered that Li Xiaobai is the core of the intruders with a deep connection to the dog. Although it is only at the Dao Fruit Realm, it possesses very large fragments of the Law of Order, roughly estimating that two-thirds of the Law of Order is in its hands."
Then the image turned again. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝓮𝒘𝙚𝙗𝒏𝙤𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝒐𝙢
On a certain mountain range, a withered middle-aged man was passionately writing.
"This man is named Yu Huan Shui, the possessor of the Law of Fate. He traveled with Ye Wushuang for a time, appearing as if in the Dao Fruit Realm, but within him lies a vast power restrained by shackles. Once freed, he would have a place amongst the gods."
As the old woman explained continuously, the mirror image kept changing.
"This person is named Jiang Que..."
"This person is named Da Jianbi..."
After a while, the old woman finished introducing the core members among the intruders.
She primarily introduced the younger generation such as Jiang Que, who had not yet appeared; as for those like Su Yunbing and Ye Wushuang, the gods had interacted with them many times and understood deeply.
"Our main targets are Su Yunbing, the God of Strength, and those few Saint King Realm intruders. They possess the power to temporarily restrain the gods."
"I suppose confronting Su Yunbing requires three gods for assured victory, and for the other intruders, two gods should attack jointly to kill them."
"This old body suggests sending the remaining Divine Children to snipe Li Xiaobai and others, drawing out the experts and annihilating them all at once."
The old Mirror God woman said sinisterly; she could monitor the myriad worlds through the mirror and had long felt dissatisfied with the actions of ants under the starry sky. The Father God’s words struck her heart, as obviously, obstacles could be cleared in one stroke, yet these gods kept wasting chances for the sake of dignity, exacerbating the opponent’s growth.
"Understood, I’ll arrange the manpower."
"This god will seek out the Chaos World’s Four Monkeys to stall them under the guise of a plea for forgiveness."
"Alright, proceed."
The Father God made a decision, and the gods scattered to conduct their final deployments.
Meanwhile.
The oblivious Li Xiaobai was busy traveling.
He had just subdued a city and acquired tens of thousands of Visualized Items.
Initially determined to discern them properly as advised by 520, the sheer quantity overwhelmed him, stuffing them in hurriedly with no time to scrutinize each one.
Moreover, his body began exhibiting some peculiar phenomena.
When using the Space Law to travel, he often lost his bearings, veering off course and crashing into trees.
However, his body was robust; crashing merely happened and moving forward was prioritized, for now it was a race against time with no opportunity to digest his harvest.
But soon, some bizarre anomalies emerged; trees he collided with would no longer shatter, occasionally melting or turning incredibly soft.
"Is it the properties of melting and softening?"
"It’s strange since these Laws, after being seized, should be managed uniformly by the System, recorded on the panel, theoretically preventing any chance of rebellion, yet they are activating on their own, why is that?"
Li Xiaobai was puzzled; if he needed a certain skill, he would activate it through the System, yet now these skills were surfacing one by one independently, with no discomfort felt by him.
It was as if another entity were experimenting with these Laws.
"Hmm?"
"Some other entity, what have I forgotten?"
"All living beings within my body are under absolute control at the Lake of Resentful Spirits. If I speak of other beings... [Wealthy Li Xiaobai]!"
Li Xiaobai suddenly felt a chill; he almost never used Visualized Items, to the point of nearly forgetting its existence.
He recalled when he first took [Protagonist Halo], [Wealthy Li Xiaobai] came forward to seize the halo.
Then he thought it was his Visualized Item, harmless, so he didn’t care. But now thinking about it, he was horrified. If all the Visualized Items seized were taken by [Wealthy Li Xiaobai], the consequences would be disastrous.
The prophecy of 520 was coming true, he had the System, unaffected by these Laws, but [Wealthy Li Xiaobai] lacked the System and was not a product of it. Judging from its exhibited autonomous consciousness, it existed as an independent entity, likely developing thoughts.
If it revolts, he would be in great trouble.
"Come out, [Wealthy Li Xiaobai]!"
He called out his Visualized Item, but received no response; the dazed figure did not appear.
"Guard a thousand times against outsiders, yet fail to guard against insiders, I don’t believe you can outdo me!"
