National Guardian's Gone and We're Done-Chapter 91: The New World Organization Can Continue to Exist, but It Must Obey My Orders Henceforth
When it mentioned the Vampires of the Lighthouse Empire, the goat-headed Evil Spirit’s tone was like a dry branch in the cold wind,
trembling with an inexpressible fear.
Compared to that terrifying Evil Spirit at the peak of the Great Xia Empire’s Demon Cave, the one who wielded a rattle,
the goat-headed Evil Spirit could definitely overpower it, and even all the other Evil Spirits in the Demon Cave. 𝘧𝓇𝑒𝑒𝑤ℯ𝑏𝓃𝘰𝑣ℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮
Yet now, as it spoke of the unfathomable Vampires behind the Lighthouse Empire, it revealed an unprecedented level of fear.
"You Evil Spirits... where exactly do you come from?"
Chu He asked, looking at the goat-headed Evil Spirit before him, his curiosity piqued.
It was rare to encounter an Evil Spirit he could have a rational conversation with, so he naturally wanted to uncover more secrets.
The goat-headed Evil Spirit lowered its head as if lost in distant memories. "When I reawakened, I was in an abyss deep beneath the ground.
"It was endlessly dark and bone-chillingly cold.
"I struggled with all my might to break free of my restraints and return to this world.
"I know nothing of my own origins.
"Some information is innate, engraved deep within my soul."
"The Lighthouse Empire of your human world... their system for ranking Evil Spirits did not originate with them.
"Above their rankings, there is a hidden, secret realm... Deity.
"This system of classification is known only to us Evil Spirits.
"Therefore, the information the Lighthouse Empire has leaked was likely manipulated from the shadows by the Vampires."
The goat-headed Evil Spirit slowly raised its head, a complex mix of emotions flickering in its eyes. "The Vampires are god-like beings.
"They have existed on this planet for over a thousand years.
"They possess wisdom and power far beyond that of humans, and they are cunning and cruel.
"They feed on human blood and live in communities.
"Their existence is something most Evil Spirits can only dream of."
"Vampires? They’ve existed on this planet for thousands of years?"
Chu He was utterly shocked.
’An Evil Spirit race with such a long history?!’
"Yes, for over a thousand years."
The goat-headed Evil Spirit’s voice was filled with envy for the Vampires. "Before your Martial Arts even developed, the Vampires already stood at the pinnacle of the Evil Spirit pyramid.
"They are true Divine Level Evil Spirits, beings your human minds can scarcely imagine."
"Then what about you?"
Chu He stared at the goat-headed Evil Spirit. "What level are you?"
The goat-headed Evil Spirit was silent for a moment, as if weighing its options.
"I am in the Demigod Realm, above the Curse Level but below the Divine."
The goat-headed Evil Spirit answered truthfully, "Before you attacked me, I had not even recovered a tenth of my peak strength. Just try to imagine the Vampire clan, and you will understand how terrifying they are.
"The Vampires are currently manipulating the Lighthouse Empire into frequent activity. It’s highly likely their Ancestor is about to reawaken."
"From the sound of it, you Evil Spirits aren’t exactly united," Chu He inquired.
"Why should we Evil Spirits be united?" The goat-headed Evil Spirit gave a slight smile and said, "You humans aren’t exactly a unified front, are you?
"Evil Spirits are now running rampant, slaughtering indiscriminately, leaving mountains of corpses and rivers of blood in their wake. Yet aren’t your great human Empires still scheming against one another?
"I have seen your file. You, of all people, should know what you endured in the Great Jing Empire."
As it spoke, a human-like mockery flowed through the goat-headed Evil Spirit’s eyes.
"If you Evil Spirits have become so powerful, why do you still hide so cautiously?"
Chu He asked.
"Because we have not yet fully reawakened."
The goat-headed Evil Spirit said, "There are many experts among you humans, such as yourself.
"When that Xiao Cangqing set foot in this town, he immediately entered my sensory range. And yet, even so, I completely failed to detect your presence, which is how I ended up letting the wolf in the door."
"And how do you control the entire New World Organization?"
Chu He asked.
Looking around the underground space, Chu He noted that the goat-headed Evil Spirit had clearly never left, and there was no communication equipment in sight.
Hearing Chu He’s question, the goat-headed Evil Spirit released a fluctuation of Mysterious Power.
Soon, figures in black robes began to emerge from the surroundings.
These black-robed people included men and women, old and young.
When they lowered the hoods of their robes, their faces were revealed. They were clearly human, yet they also bore a slight resemblance to a goat.
They looked extremely bizarre, and their eyes were identical to a goat’s.
"These people all carry the power I have bestowed upon them.
"When an Evil Spirit steps into the Demigod Realm, it develops a unique kind of Mysterious Power.
"This Mysterious Power is able to flawlessly suppress all Evil Spirits below the Demigod level to a greater or lesser extent.
"After becoming a true Divine Level Evil Spirit, it will gain absolute suppression over all other Evil Spirits.
"To recover my strength, I need to capture enough humans and Evil Spirits to devour.
"Ordinary humans are no longer of much use; the humans and Evil Spirits I consume must be high-level."
The goat-headed Evil Spirit pointed to the core members of the New World Organization in their robes, whose faces were growing to resemble a goat’s more and more, and said, "To me, these people are nothing more than tools.
"When their bodies have been completely eroded by my Mysterious Power, they will die.
"In the meantime, I can issue commands directly to their brains."
"This is the fate of all humans who merge with Evil Spirits; the only difference is how long it takes.
"Furthermore, during this process of fusion and erosion, the humans have no self-awareness of the change.
"Their personalities will also increasingly lean toward ours—they become cold, selfish, emotionless, and begin to crave blood and slaughter."
The information revealed by the goat-headed Evil Spirit completely confirmed Chu He’s prior suspicions.
’Choosing to merge with an Evil Spirit is the beginning of the end, and it only makes the Evil Spirits stronger.
’The Lighthouse Empire claims to have a plan and theory for humans to perfectly merge with Evil Spirits to gain power,
’but in reality, it’s a malicious plot with hidden intentions, a vicious scheme extremely detrimental to humanity.
’The true architects of this plan must be the Vampires behind the Lighthouse Empire.’
"You’ve told me everything without omission. Do you have some ulterior motive?"
Chu He stared at the goat-headed Evil Spirit.
The whole process had been far too smooth. So smooth, in fact, that Chu He hadn’t needed to use any of his methods to get the information he wanted. This alone made him suspicious.
"Unlike the Vampires, I have no ability to reproduce.
"I am a race of one. If I die, that is true extinction. My kind will completely vanish from this world. I understand this principle quite well."
The goat-headed Evil Spirit answered frankly.
"Good. You have some self-awareness. Since you can control your subordinates remotely, you’ll come with me.
"The New World Organization can continue to exist, but from now on, it will take its orders from me."
Chu He took out the God-Beating Whip and lashed out with it.
The goat-headed Evil Spirit was caught completely off guard, never imagining Chu He would suddenly attack.
Strangely, when the whip struck the goat-head’s body, it made no sound at all.
