Volume 4, Chapter 79 – Duan’s Test, and a Sudden Situation

“Unable to command the Terran Malevolence to fight?! What does that mean?!”

Staring at the old scholar’s face, Duan questioned sternly.

To this,

the old scholar couldn’t help but nervously lower his head and speak out the conclusions of his recent investigation.

“The Savior indeed possesses absolute dominion over the Guardian… but the prerequisite is that the Savior is a true Savior… The current Miss Xingwu has less than half of her real soul, with most of the rest being artificial soul, even fused with your power, Lord Duan…”

“Get to the conclusion directly.”

“The conclusion is that Miss Xingwu’s soul is impure. At this stage, she can at most suppress the Terran Malevolence, but lacks the power to command Gaia Lobir to release power or engage in battle.”

“What nonsense are you spouting?!”

Duan was undoubtedly dissatisfied with this answer, even angry.

“Are you kidding me? Can’t control her?! Then how did Xingwu activate the power within the Terran Malevolence back in Clavino? Was that enormous Tree of Death fake?”

“That time was because Gaia Lobir had consumed the… mental power-weakening drugs that Lady Tilisa prepared. And… the evil god wasn’t on guard.”

“What about now?”

“Now Gaia Lobir has developed some resistance to the drugs. Not only that, the curse power within her body has also actively formed a special defensive mechanism, making it impossible for Xingwu to control her casually. If we force domination, it might cause the Terran Malevolence to lose control, and then…”

Speaking thus, the old scholar nervously swallowed.

“There would be big problems.”

“So you’re saying that now Xingwu can at most make the Terran Malevolence sleep like this? But can’t command this monster to fight?”

“Y-yes…”

“What about making Gaia Lobir fully expose her Primordial Core?”

“The core area already contains enormous energy… exposing it would cause loss of control… it’s not really feasible.”

After receiving this reply, Duan’s expression became increasingly grim, and the cold, terrifying spiritual power rippled around him, directly causing the nearby scholars and Blood Guards members to tremble and retreat in unison.

Can’t fight?

Can only sleep?

Reаd oո КatReаԁіոgСαfe

What use is that?!

The evil god he wanted to offer to Lord Astral… was supposed to be an ultimate tool that could destroy all enemies! Not some idiot who only knew how to sleep!

“Then what does it take to control this monster!!!”

Pointing at the blue-haired girl who was sleeping with closed eyes not far away, Duan asked coldly.

“Well… unless…”

“Unless what?”

“Unless Miss Xingwu’s commands have more compulsive force… that is to say, Miss Xingwu needs to obtain more… authority belonging to the Savior.”

“The Savior’s authority? You mean…”

“Yes, that is, returning part of Miss Xingwu’s soul to her. And erasing the conflicting impurities within Miss Xingwu’s soul.”

Speaking thus,

the old scholar’s voice became smaller and smaller, the fear in his voice growing increasingly intense.

And Duan’s expression indeed became extraordinarily cold and chilling, just as this scholar had predicted.

“The conflicting impurities refer to that part of my power, right? You know what you’re saying, right?”

“Yes.”

The old scholar nodded fearfully:

“Lord Duan, I know that erasing that part of the soul imprint would weaken your control over Xingwu. But, but only this way can we bring out more of the Savior’s power, and possibly control Gaia Lobir.”

At this moment, Duan fell silent.

Although not satisfied with the other’s statement, Duan was certain that the old man before him didn’t have the courage to deceive him.

Besides,

before the operation began, the matter of Xingwu being unable to control Gaia Lobir due to her incomplete soul… Duan hadn’t failed to consider it.

“To return that part of the soul to her…”

Rеаԁ оn KαtRеαԁіոɡСаfе

Glancing sideways at the black-haired girl standing near the evil god with vacant eyes, Duan narrowed his eyes slightly and fell into contemplation.

“I’ll need to think about this carefully first.”

“What should we do now, Lord Duan?”

A Blood Guards team leader came to Duan’s side and consulted respectfully.

“Should we bring Miss Xingwu and the others back to the Nether Palace?”

“Xingwu definitely needs to be brought back…”

Speaking thus,

Duan looked toward the sleeping blue-haired girl, a trace of hesitation gradually emerging in his expression.

Originally, Duan had indeed planned to bring Gaia Lobir back to the Nether Palace, but now? Considering that Xingwu’s control over the Terran Malevolence Gaia Lobir wasn’t as perfect as he had expected, Duan began to ponder.

Bringing the evil god into the Divine Kingdom, into this blessed land?

Was it really

appropriate?

Setting other things aside, Duan planned to conduct an experiment first.

The next moment,

the purple-haired man raised his hand and snapped his fingers. A helicopter suddenly flew out from the fortress behind, dropping four huge nutrition pods directly, slamming them onto the ground in front of the Terran Malevolence.

Inside the nutrition pods were four sleeping women.

Not ordinary women, but women whose bodies emanated the aura of Augury Force…

That’s right,

these four were all Divine-Graced Maidens cultivated by Paradise Manor, Divine-Graced Maidens who hadn’t yet been activated.

As the pod doors opened, the Divine-Graced Maidens’ aura enveloped the blue-haired girl, while Duan and numerous Paradise Manor scholars quietly observed from the side.

“Hmm? No reaction…”

Rеаⅾ оո ΚαtRеaⅾіngСαfе

After several dozen seconds, seeing that the blue-haired girl still showed no movement, Duan narrowed his eyes slightly.

Then,

this Solrog Ancestor stepped toward Bai Lianyue again, directly drew a sword from a Blood Guards member’s waist, and without a word pierced through Bai Lianyue’s head!

“Hmm?”

Tilting his head, pulling out the sword,

Duan then struck consecutively at the blue-haired girl’s chest, abdomen, legs, and other vital positions…

Blood quickly flowed out, staining the ground below red.

And the blue-haired girl still sat quietly in her chair sleeping, without the slightest movement.

Seeing this,

Duan glanced sideways behind him and directly swung his sword!

“Crack!!”

Accompanied by blood spattering, Xingwu’s arm was directly severed by Duan.

However,

several dozen seconds passed,

Xingwu still stood in place with vacant eyes, and the Terran Malevolence similarly remained motionless, continuing to sleep heartlessly and foolishly.

After taking in such a Terran Malevolence, the wariness and trace of worry in Duan’s eyes finally dissipated somewhat.

“Mm, perhaps I was overthinking.”

However,

just as Duan was still continuing to observe Bai Lianyue and Bai Xingwu while pondering… seeming to sense something, this Solrog Ancestor’s pupils contracted and he suddenly turned his head toward the southeast direction. In that direction, he felt a terrifying oppression… rapidly approaching them.

“What’s happening at the Maretide Kingdom now?”

Glancing sideways at his subordinate, Duan asked with a grave expression.

Rеaⅾ оո ΚatReadingСafе

“Reporting to Lord Duan, news just came from the Maretide Kingdom.”

A Blood Guards member monitoring communication equipment hurriedly stepped forward, saying with an uneasy expression.

“Among the Vassals of Sea monsters previously rampaging in the southeastern part of the Maretide Kingdom, a girl resembling a Siren charged out and is rapidly heading toward the Divine Kingdom border…”

“Siren?”

Among the known Vassals of Sea vassals, there doesn’t seem to be one in Siren form, and something that can make me feel uneasy?

Could it be that monster?

Why is it coming at this exact time?!

After realizing the possible identity of the approaching entity, a rare trace of unease emerged in Duan’s pupils.

“Damn Polarvitan…”

“Polarvitan?”

Upon hearing this name, whether Blood Guards members or Paradise Manor scholars, all changed color dramatically, becoming fearful.

After all, the Abyssal Lord

wasn’t like the Terran Malevolence who had already been controlled by them.

“Lord Duan!! What are we waiting for!! Let’s quickly enter the guardian domain! Then we won’t need to worry about the Abyssal Lord! Without an invitation, that monster can’t enter.”

An elder hurriedly came to Duan’s side to urge.

“Lord Duan! How should we handle Gaia Lobir?”

Another Blood Guards member also asked with concern.

To this,

Duan didn’t answer immediately, but cast a thoughtful gaze toward the southeast. Looking there, then at the blue-haired girl, then at the one-armed Xingwu beside her… finally Duan bit his lip and made a decision.

——”Return to the Nether… bring Gaia Lobir back together.”
