Chapter 445: Chapter 155
To be honest, the gods of the Alliance of Evil Gods shouldn’t have lost the game so fast.
They were all powerful gods with exceptional, life-saving skills. If they worked together, Sui Xiong and Yorgaardman couldn’t win, let alone Sui Xiong by himself.
However, the most typical character of evil gods was “selfishness.” At the moment, selfishness was a flaw for them. For the evil gods, they wouldn’t work together to fight in a war until there was no choice. But now, there was a great opportunity to escape, who would risked their lives to fight the Void Mask?
They just had to run faster than the others!
This was similar to a famous joke on earth: Two men met a lion, and one man ran without looking back.
Another man shouted, “Why are you running so quickly? Can you run faster than a lion?”
The former man ran and answered, “I don’t need to be faster than a lion. I just need to be faster than you.”
Actually, this joke was wrong. Beasts like lions and tigers would attack their prey’s back. So when the former man just turned around, the lion would go after him. As for the other one who didn’t turn around timely, he might be able to escape.
Therefore, wilderness survival experts always emphasized this. When you encounter beasts in the wild, never turn around or run away. What you need to do is to stand up straight and look at it bravely while stepping back slowly.
Experts who lived in the wild would never turn their backs to beasts. The reason was the same.
Fortunately, Sui Xiong was not a tiger or a lion. The principle of his attack was not so complicated. There was only one motivation— attack whoever was near him.
Therefore, the evil gods were doing right. As long as they ran fast enough, Sui Xiong would fight those who ran slowly and were close to him first.
And then, the evil gods understood the principle, and everyone ran fast.
In the half-minute when the God of Fear removed the life energy, the evil gods were defeated like a collapsed mountain, and there was no chance at a comeback.
The God of Fear almost went crazy. He was nominally the Master God of the Fear System and the leader of the alliance of evil gods. But in order to avoid being framed, he had never signed a real covenant or agreement with any god. Strictly speaking, he only had one man, and that was himself.
The reason why he could keep this evil gods system and maintain this alliance was due to his powerful strength and ferocious deterrence; his invincible faith accumulated a long term with his troops, and so did his iron discipline and cruel punishment.
If they were defeated this time, it would ruin all the faith and discipline. That would not be easy to bring up again!
He asked himself how many gods would follow him without faith and discipline. Would they follow him as usual if there was only force and brutality?
Maybe only the God of Shadow and Assassination.
The God of Fear was extremely angry. He took his sword and rushed to Sui Xiong directly. Fortunately, he has not lost his cool. On the way, he took time to send a message to the God of War, asking this powerful god to help him.
Although there was no allusion of “death of the lips and cold of the teeth” in this world, the God of War knew that if the God of Fear died, he himself would also die. He was ready and waiting for the God of Fear to ask.
Getting the message of God of Fear, he led the whole War God System to attack without any hesitation or delay.
The giant, leading warship was slow in daily life, but at the important moments, it moved extremely fast. Immediately, it rushed straight towards Sui Xiong and Yorgaardman.
“I will fight the God of Justice, and you kill the Void Mask,” in the message to the God of Fear, the God of War said. “Of course, if I get the chance, I will help you kill the Void Mask.”
The God of Fear had no objection because the God of War was only a helper he had invited. It was good that the God of War could fight the God of justice. And the God of Fear had no more wishes.
Hey, if he is the helper, will he help a lot? the God of Fear asked himself.
There were lots of descriptions about that message, but in fact, it only took a minute to think. When the God of Fear opened his eyes, Sui Xiong had just killed the eleventh evil god, and when he rushed to Sui Xiong, Sui Xiong had killed the twelfth.
With a loud noise, Sui Xiong turned more than a dozen tentacles into solid weapons, blocking the two-handed sword of the God of Fear.
Next, he took full advantage of his tentacles flapping up and down, beating the God of Fear freely. But the God of Fear was smart. He not only could block all his attacks but also seized the opportunity to fight back. Each two-handed sword attack came with amazing strength and powerful Divine Power. And the condensed Divine Power was more difficult to deal with than pure power. It took great effort for Sui Xiong to tackle each attack.
At first, Sui Xiong was able to gain the upper hand through his many tentacles. But as time went by, the strong strength of the God of Fear came into full play. Every time they confronted, Sui Xiong suffered losses, so the balance of victory slowly tilted towards the God of Fear. Sui Xiong became more and more disadvantaged.
Looking at this, Yorgaardman wanted to support Sui Xiong but was stopped by the God of War.
The God of War was very shrewd, and he did not seek merit. He united the forces of the whole War God System and enclosed Yorgaardman. He was not in a hurry to attack, so ninety-nine percent of his energy was devoted to defense. All he was thinking about was putting Yorgaardman on hold for as long as possible so the God of Fear would have enough time to kill the Void Mask.
Of course, Sui Xiong’s other friends had come to help, but they were stopped by the gods of the Fear System and the evil gods who had escaped before. There were several powerful gods on both sides. Morani and Leonard had done their best. Ariel and Manissy joined, and the only two Gods of Healing in the world helped, but they still fell behind.
That was to say, Sui Xiong had to rely on his own strength to fight with the God of Fear for a while. If he could not hold on, he would have to choose between dying in the battle or running away.
At least from the current situation, he seemed to be defeated.
Sui Xiong certainly understood this. He was not brainwashed by militarism to believe that “death was the most glorious thing.” When the situation was not good, of course, he would choose to escape. But after thinking, he found it was not easy to escape.
At this moment, he and the God of Fear fought, and each one’s power was entangled. Once Sui Xiong wanted to escape, he would be immediately perceived by the God of Fear. Thus, it would greatly weaken his power, and the other side’s power would be greatly increased.
He knew that he could not win against the God of Fear. If they kept this seesaw game going, he would be killed.
In other words, he could not win, and it was difficult to run away. He could only wait to die.
