“You!” Shamaila woke up with a start as she saw the scary Fang Yu looking at her. She trembled as she remembered her bad memories with her, which all just happened earlier.
“What do you want now!” Even though Shamaila understood why Fang Yu kidnapped her, she still felt scared being this near to her.
“Muuu….” Tang Li pouted as she saw the scared Shamaila. She let out a sigh, as if she was a wise old man about to give a life lesson.
She leapt out of Fang Yu’s head, just to land right onto Shamaila’s lap.
“…..” The adorable face of Tang Li, along with her body that just makes anyone want to pinch her managed to calm the scared Shamaila down.
“Can I pet her?” Shamaila as she gazed at Tang Li’s wide eyes. “She’s just so cute!”
“Yeah, yeah, you can do that.” Fang Yu replied dismissively, as if petting the universe’s cutest creature was no big deal.
“Sis! You baddie!” Tang Li wailed as her plump cheeks were pinched by the smiling Shamaila.
“Sis! Make thish shtop! Hihihihi!” Shamaila then started tickling Tang Li, which elicited high-pitched giggles from the talking baby.
A minute passed by, and a frowning Tang Li went back on top of Fang Yu’s head. Her cheeks were red from Shamaila’s pinching, and her breath was slightly harried from all the laughing and giggling that she had.
Tang Li seemed to be slightly angry, as she bit the top of Fang Yu’s head repeatedly.
“Chomp, chomp, chomp.”
“So have you calmed down now?” Fang Yu said as he saw Shamaila having a calm expression.
“Chomp, chomp, chomp.”
“Yes, I am fine now. So what do you want from me?” Shamaila replied calmly.
“Chomp, chomp, chomp.”
“I think you already know what it is.” Fang Yu replied as she ignored the persistent Tang Li. “I called you Mexella earlier right?”
“Chomp, chomp, chomp.”
“So you knew.” Shamaila let out a sigh as her appearance changed. Gone was the ‘Shamaila’ face that Fang Yu was familiar with. In front of her was the appearance of Mexella, the third aspect of the Goddess!
“Chomp, chomp, chomp.”
Shamaila touched her original face as she started to say something to Fang Yu.
“When I was born, my father did not know what was about to happen to me. But as I grew up, my father noticed that my face and appearance was approaching that of Mexella.”
“Chomp, chomp, chomp.”
“With my fathers abilities, he determined that there will come a time on which my appearance will match that of Mexella’s accurately. When that time comes, the Great Solomon surely will not be pleased.”
“Chomp, chomp, chomp.”
“My father panicked, because I was the only daughter of his principal wife. My father’s principal wife stayed barren for thousands of years, and it was only recently that she became pregnant with me.”
“Chomp, chomp, chomp.”
“Luckily for me, my father created the artifact which protected me. That artifact has two uses, the first one is to change my appearance to a different appearance. The second one, just like what you know, is to turn me undetectable.”
“Chomp, chomp, chomp.”
“With the use of this artifact and my father’s protection, I was able to stay alive even with close proximity to the Great Solomon.”
“Chomp, chomp, chomp.”
“Now that you already confirmed it, let me tell you my request.” Fang Yu said as Tang Li coughed a little from accidentally breathing in Fang Yu’s hair. But the persistent baby weathered it out as she continued biting her way.
“Chomp, chomp, chomp.”
“I want you, in your original appearance, to have a ‘walk’ outside with me and Tang Li.” Fang Yu whispered beside Shamaila’s right ear.
“Chomp, chomp, chomp.”
“You want me, along with you two, who looked like Ofneas and Oqtris to show our faces outside?” Shamaila looked slightly scared by this.
“Chomp, chomp, chomp.”
“You want us three to bait the Great Solomon!” Shamaila shook her head as if she found this hard to believe. “You are nuts!”
“Chomp, chomp, chomp.”
“Exactly.” Fang Yu grinned as she approached Shamaila, who started backing down slowly.
“Chomp, chomp, chomp.”
***************************
“Argh!” Let’s move out!” The hooked-nosed man said as he flew away with his companions. The incoming Undead Horde could not be taken lightly, so the Palace of the Gods must use the maximum power that they can use to stop the horde.
“Ramsay!” The hooked-nosed man pointed to one of his companions. “Bring all the sacrifices towards the sacrifice altar! We shall do the sacrifice while we were also defending against the Undead Horde! I am sure that the Beast God Planet Envoy can wipe out the Undead Horde with ease!”
The hooked-nosed man waved his hands, paralyzing all the divine beasts, including Chi Xing.
“If I just paralyzed them all earlier, then we would not have come to this. Argh! I am sure I will get punished for this!”
The hooked-nosed man then disappeared along with his companions, heading towards the Undead Horde.
This is going to be a hard battle, but it is a battle that they must fight for the God Continent.
“Ok ok…” Ramsay command nodded his head as he picked up the divine beasts. The doors of the Palace opened as he rushed inside.
“Damn bastards!” Ramsay, who was carrying them cursed as he slapped Chi Xing on the cheeks.
“Slap!”
Even with her tough body, Chi Xing’s nose began to bleed as she suffered minor facial injuries. After all, it was a Law Domain Practitioner who slapped her.
Even the Original Peak Fang Lin could be slightly damaged too.
“What? Acting tough now huh? Well that won’t last, since you are about to be sacrificed!”
Because of the quickness of Ramsey’s movements, Illusion Fang Lin could only see blur around him as the man continued to move. Because of this, Illusion Fang Lin was unable to see the interior of the Palace.
“There!” Ramsey stopped as he stepped on a large formation. Illusion Fang Lin looked it by the side of his eyes as he heard Old Man appreciating the formation.
“This thing right here is a teleportation formation.” Old Man said as he seemed to nod while looking at the formation. “This should be bringing you to the top of the Palace.”
Right after Old Man said these words, the formation lit up as Illusion Fang Lin with his affinity to the space mark felt the extremely quick shift of the space around him.
A moment passed by, and he saw an entirely different surroundings.
“It’s harder to breathe here….” That was what Illusion Fang Lin thought as he realized where he was.
He and the other divine beasts were currently at the top of the Palace.
And when Illusion Fang Lin said top, he meant the top part where the clouds were just at their level and large flying beasts could be seen!
“Of course you can’t breathe properly here. You are 10 kilometers away from the ground.” Old Man snorted as he replied.
“Even though you are a Second Stage Practitioner, you still need to breathe air in order to survive. Only when you reach the God or the Immortal Stage that you can abandon breathing at all. But as of now, you have to struggle with the decreased amount of air here at this part.”
“Of course I know that…. I just have to make an obvious statement to start a conversation…..” Illusion Fang Lin crossly replied.
Because of his higher specs, Illusion Fang Lin was not that affected by the lesser amount of air. But the other divine beasts with him were already taking quick, deep breaths which filled the air with some weird sounds.
“What! You want me to start the sacrifice now? But I am all alone here!” Illusion Fang Lin heard Ramsey seemingly talking with someone else privately as he walked towards a large mirror and a massive bronze cauldron.
“He’s talking with someone through divine sense huh.” Illusion Fang Lin said, which elicited more snorts from Old Man.
“That’s another obvious statement you made there! Can’t you just shut your mouth and don’t state things like that! I hate things like that! I could still remember the time someone explained to me what mysterious powers are. He said that they are powers, and that they are also mysterious, that’s why they are called mysterious powers! Do you realized how dumb that sounded? And you almost talked like that now!”
Old Man’s sudden and harsh rant managed to stun Illusion Fang Lin.
“Ok I will shut up now…..”
Ramsay continued talking, as if he was engrossed on his talk. “I can do it alone? Ok, ok, can you reiterate to me the steps for the sacrifice again? I just want to make sure.”
Illusion Fang Lin’s ears perked, as well as the other divine beasts as they listened intently.
Ramsay, who saw the interest in the expressions of Illusion Fang Lin and the other divine beasts, smiled as he started to talk louder.
“Oh, so the first thing I should do is to put all the Divine Beasts in the bronze cauldron?” Ramsay patted the said cauldron, which produced booming sounds that made Illusion Fang Lin’s organs tremble.
“Then after that, I have to boil them alive with a special concoction inside this cauldron? Hohoho, that’s not a good way to die!”
“!!!!!!!” The eyes of the divine beasts widened as they stared at the bronze cauldron with dread.
Even Illusion Fang Lin, who was supposed to not feel pain, winced as he imagined what being boiled alive would feel like.
Ramsay’s smile widened as he saw the dread in the eyes of the divine beasts. He then turned his back to them as he continued his ‘chat’ with this talkmate.
“So I need to boil them until they were fully melted in the concoction? Then after that, I have to pour that ‘soup’ on this mirror?”
This time, Ramsay approached a large, silver mirror which had a diameter of around 10 meters. Its sides were gilded with sculptures of various powerful and unique beasts.
The sheen on the mirror was so bright that Illusion Fang Lin had to look away just to preserve his eyesight.
“So after that part, I just have to go and watch the mirror, and the envoy from the Beast God Planet will arrive?” Ramsay waited for some seconds, and he nodded his head as if what he said was confirmed.
“Now then…” Ramsay faced the divine beasts as he stretched out his left hand.
“Crackle….” Above his left hand, peals of red, scorching flame appeared. The divine beasts near Ramsay felt the heat of the flame, and they started to crawl away from him.
Too bad they were paralyzed, so they could only helplessly flop as Ramsay approached the bronze cauldron.
He smiled at the terrified divine beasts as he threw the flame under the bronze cauldron.
“Ok then, why don’t we start ‘cooking’ now? All of you better turn out good, for I hate ‘cooking’ something only for it to become RAW!”
