Spare Me, Great Lord! Chapter 517

Chapter 517 - Check From Across The Sea

Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios

At this moment, Lu Shu realized that the large amount of magical stones might be an essential element to Takashima’s sacrificial ceremony. Otherwise, why the incessant contribution of 999 distress points…

The greatest trouble he caused in Japan this time was perhaps stealing those stones!

At first, Lu Shu felt a tinge of guilt for destroying his image. But now, it seemed everything was perfectly justifiable…

Did he take those stones away for his own sake? Nope. It was to prevent the emergence of a Class A enemy, so as to protect the safety of the Heavenly Network. Wasn’t that his credit? Absolutely yes!

As expected, only when he did not mean it, could Lu Shu stir up real affairs…

Takashima had made up his mind. In the very beginning, the magical stone altar was meant to replace a few sacrifices, in order to minimize the number of lives loss. After all, human capital was crucial for the Collection of Gods as well.

But now, there was no other choice. Takashima was well aware of the severity of the situation, the Collection of Gods might perish if he failed to advance to Class A soon.

He eyed his trusted subordinates, whose eyes were teeming with craziness with the knowledge of the upcoming events. They had long since pledged their lives to Takashima, and had lost their sanity while working for him.

His subordinates split into teams of ten, each led by a Class C. They walked into the crowds, enclosing all Collection of Gods members in the fortress like a giant web. One of the teams immediately spilled the commoners’ blood.

All of a sudden, screams of fear and agony shrouded the place. Those commoners had never expected they would be the first casualties in the given situation!

In front of the Practitioners, commoners were totally defenseless. In a fraction of a minute, streams of blood covered the ground. Abhorrence penetrated Lu Shu’s heart. How could the Collection of Gods take other people’s lives as they pleased!

Other Collection of Gods members were confused. Gradually, they quietened down, watching the massacre from the side. Then, the trusted subordinates drew out a gigantic magical spell on the floor, hauling the dead bodies around as their paint brushes.

And the spell would include each and every Collection of Gods member inside, with no exception!

Lu Shu felt his flesh creep. Has that Takashima Tairatsu gone mad? Was he really planning to sacrifice so many people?! What more, his own people?

Other Collection of Gods Practitioners were petrified too. “What…”

They had only practiced the techniques for the sacrifice, which could serve two purposes. On one hand, they could accumulate their own power at the expense of other people’s lives, just like what happened at the Beimang remains. On the other, they could sacrifice the future of their own cultivation in exchange for a temporary surge in power.

Yet, they had utterly no knowledge of the scene right in front of their eyes now.

Trusted subordinates had towed out the goods from Warehouse No. 17 and No. 15 and placed them in the sacrificial formation. Then, everyone was aghast to see them instructing other Practitioners to arrange magical stones. It felt like the Practitioners were asked to chop onions and gingers and boil themselves in the pot.

In fact, many of them had no idea what Takashima wanted, but they carried on without any complaint nonetheless.

This was insane. Lu Shu found it hard to understand the logic, even though it truly existed.

Everything was so absurd that Lu Shu felt it was a bit surreal.

A man raised his voice and questioned, “Lord Takashima, are you planning to sacrifice all of us?”

Just when he was done talking, he was sliced into halves by a trusted subordinate nearby. And his blood became the fresh ink for the spell formation.

Then, the “goods” that had been kept captive in the base were brought up. There were a whopping hundreds of them. All of them were immobilized due to the injections.

Takashima announced, “Now, the Collection of Gods is facing a strong enemy. In a time when our shared family is about to be destroyed, we, the Collection of Gods, would rather die in glory than live in dishonor. It is time for your sacrifice, for the Collection of Gods.”

“Die in glory!”

“Die in glory!”

“I vow to survive or perish with the Collection of Gods!”

“I vow to survive or perish with the Collection of Gods!”

Madness filled many people’s eyes, but a minority suddenly dashed towards the gate. “I’m not going to sacrifice myself!”

For some reason, Lu Shu felt relieved at the sight, for he had finally seen a piece of clean land amidst a stinky, disgusting swamp of dirt. He understood patriotism, but not to sacrifice themselves for Takashima, a mere individual.

Fortunately, some people in the Collection of Gods still had their sanity.

Lu Shu did not move. Takashima’s trusted subordinates started a massacre among the runners, while others watched in apathy.

After all of them were killed, people resumed the arrangement of magical stones under the trusted subordinates’ guidance. They followed a certain pattern. It was a majestic view where thousands of people were arranging tens of thousands of magical stones.

In the meantime, Lu Shu secretly picked up the stones put down by those in front. In the disorder, no one noticed what he had done…

But Lu Shu would not stay at only one place. Like a busy bee, he would go to somewhere else after picking up a few stones…

Eh? There’s one here. Eh? There’s another one there…

Some people turned back only to see in bewilderment that their stones were gone.

“From Asano Katsuhito’s distress, +199…”

“From…”

Just when Lu Shu was enjoying himself, one of Takashima’s trusted subordinates roared, “Watch out for those around you. Report once you notice anyone stealing magical stones!”

Lu Shu felt regretful. He could have picked up tens of thousands of magical stones!

The subordinates searched everyone for the stolen stones when they supervised the work. When they came to Lu Shu, his pocket was even cleaner than his face, and he only had in his hands the five stones given to him just now. Lu Shu yelled with great passion, “Die in glory!”

His shout scared the subordinate. “Do your work!”

Actually, Lu Shu was pondering how to disrupt the ceremony. First of all, he had to ensure his own safety. Secondly, should Takashima successfully advance to Class A, wouldn’t that mean Coral would be in danger?

Lu Shu would not have cared if it was some other person. But it seemed that he was the root cause for the conflict between the Deities and the Collection of Gods this time.

He would not stay put if Coral were to die for him.

When she treated him with all sincerity, he had to do the same as reciprocation. That was Lu Shu’s philosophy in life.

Besides, he had to clear the fake news about his death, so as to let her know that the check she promised earlier was still valid…
