Chapter 404 Suspected Godhead (8.1k)

"Lei Lian, have you completed the task assigned to you?"

Daji sat there on her knees, praying solemnly facing a pitch-black card no bigger than a palm. She sat there motionless, her low, unwavering voice filled with an inorganic sense of oppression.

"This is a rare task that Mother personally orders. You should have completed it as soon as possible."

"this……"

When Lei Lian heard this, his expression suddenly froze, and he lowered his head with guilt on his face.

"Sister, I did ask as soon as I got there, but I didn't ask specifically who did it—"

"Uh-huh!"

The black shadow was projected like a sharp arrow, piercing through Lei Lian's chest in the blink of an eye, nailing her to the rock wall.

"Ugh!"

Lei Lian hung on the rock wall, his heart and lungs convulsing violently.

Severe pain hit her, and she couldn't help but vomit a large mouthful of blood, which dyed the clothes on her chest red.

Zihei glanced behind him.

A bone-white mace was thrown out at some point, and it penetrated Lei Lian's chest in the blink of an eye. The knuckle-like protrusions were constantly rubbing between the heart and lungs, as if steel was constantly ravaging the unprotected flesh and blood. .

It must be quite painful.

I hope she can learn from this and stop acting impulsive and irritable every time.

"You really disappoint me, Lei Lian."

Daji looked cold and stood up from the ground.

Her gaze was directed towards Lei Lian like a sharp blade, so sharp that he wanted to cut off her head with his eyes.

"If you didn't complete the task assigned by me, I could still be lenient, but this is a task assigned by Mother herself after many years. I thought you should understand the importance of it. It seems that I am treating you Having high expectations.”

Her tone was calm, but her words were full of anger.

It's like she's angry that her mother's mission has not been completed, and it's like she hates that iron cannot be transformed into steel.

"It seems that I need to let you go back to sleep and reflect on yourself."

Daji waved his hand indifferently, and the bone-white mace detached itself and returned to her hand. She raised the mace in her hand high and tried to chop it down at Lei Lian.

Zihei's expression changed slightly and he shouted anxiously.

"Sister Daji, please give Lei Lian another chance...!"

"Wait a minute, I didn't gain anything at all!"

When Lei Lian saw Daji preparing to strike, his scalp went numb and he quickly begged for mercy.

"Sister, after I arrived there, I saw a member of the magic defense team. His strength should be at the team leader level! Moreover, I also found that one, I am afraid that he was the first-class sacrifice who ate peach in the magic city. "Pin', she also controls a special ugly ghost, which is definitely a 'first-class sacrifice'!"

Daji's chopping action paused slightly.

"Is there anything else?"

"And...a man."

Lei Lian thought hard for a while, and there really was nothing else except a man.

"Sister Daji, since Lei Lian only saw two people at that time, the answer is probably among those two people."

Zi Guangming breathed a sigh of relief and quickly defended Lei Lian.

"The mission issued by Mother is to find the person who interfered with the ghost gate. That person should be among the magic defense team member and the first-class sacrifice! Lei Lian has not completely failed to complete the mission, at least he has gained something! "

Roy: "..."

Am I a human being?

I didn’t expect that even the Eight Thunder Gods would be so fond of girls over boys!

I forgot the front, and I forgot the middle. Anyway, I feel cold and shivering. Can we men be better?

In the cave.

Daji stopped moving, her emotionless eyes glanced at Lei Lian coldly, then turned around and looked at the dark spiral pattern card embedded on the rock wall.

She looked at the card seriously, as if listening to something.

Upon seeing this, Zihei and Lei Lian looked at her nervously, as if they were waiting for the trial of the sinner.

"...Rejoice, Lei Lian, my mother is magnanimous and will forgive your negligence this time."

There was silence in the cave for a long time before Daji turned around as if taking orders and gave an answer that made Lei Lian feel relieved.

Zihei couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Although Lei Lian is always impulsive and irritable and looks down on humans, she is still her sister, and the next plan against the magic defense team also requires Lei Lian's strength.

"Lei Lian, although my mother has forgiven you, you can't forgive yourself."

Daji looked at Lei Lian indifferently, with no trace of joy or anger in his expression.

Lei Lian was stunned for a moment.

No, she can forgive herself!

Respect for the mother is one thing, but this is two different things!

"This is an opportunity for you to make meritorious deeds. The task of capturing the 'first-class sacrifice' will be left to you. Also, you must obey Zihei's orders. If you make such a stupid mistake next time, I will personally deliver it to you." You go to sleep."

"Yes, I understand, eldest sister!"

Lei Lian secretly breathed a sigh of relief, patted his chest and agreed.

It's just capturing a first-class sacrifice. This kind of thing couldn't be easier.

Rather, if Zihei hadn't suddenly pulled her back this time, she could have killed the magic defense team member, crushed the man into a pulp, and then captured the sacrifice!

Wait, think about it this way, isn't it entirely Zi Hei's fault that she didn't complete the task?

"The 'Crackdown Day' is coming, and I don't want any mistakes to happen."

Daji looked at Zihei and Lei Lian in front of him, and his tone became sharp.

"Next, you have to think of ways to defeat the Demon Defense Team and collect enough sacrifices to fully revive Mother. At the same time, you must also be aware that the Ghost Gate may be interfered with again - only Mother can control the Ghost Gate. The stunt must only be performed by Mother. No one else is allowed to interfere with the ghost gate. Once such a person appears, he must be killed immediately. There is no room for negotiation on this!"

After a pause, Daji's expression suddenly showed a bit of weirdness, but then it calmed down.

"One more thing. Mother orders you to focus on the western area of ​​​​the Magic City. Something out of control seems to have happened there. If you find any doubts, you must report to me."

Mother is omnipotent.

How could something happen that was not under Mother's control?

A trace of doubt flashed in Daji's heart, but it disappeared immediately.

No matter what, mother is the strongest.

There is absolutely no way a human being can be a match for Mother!

"Yes, Sister Daji!"

"I understand, sister!"

Zihei and Lei Lian responded respectfully.

At Daji's signal, the two of them bowed and retreated.

The Brass Bird Familiar just stood motionless in the corner, not even breathing or causing airflow, just like a pure toy, not attracting anyone's attention.

Concerned about the western region of Magic City?

What happened there that was out of your control?

The speaker has no intention, the listener has intention.

After hearing what Daji said, Roy suddenly fell into deep thought.

The western part of the Magic City is probably the area responsible for the ninth team.

This "Mother" actually pays so much attention to Team 9?

Things that are out of your control...

"Is it possible that this 'Mother' can still detect the source's whereabouts?"

Roy's heart suddenly sank.

…………

The seventh division of the Demon Defense Team is located in the southern area of ​​the Demon City.

The Magic City was divided into nine areas by the Magic Defense Team, namely eight areas from one to three, five to nine on the periphery, and ten groups of areas in the center.

Among them, Group 2 is located in the far north, and Group 7 is located in the far south.

Both groups have very specific areas of responsibility.

Because the north and south sides of the Demon City are the areas where ghost gates appear most frequently, the north side of the Demon City where the second group is located is called the outer ghost gate area, and the south side of the magical city where the seventh group is located is called the inner ghost gate area. .

In these two areas, ghost gates appear particularly frequently, and the probability and number of ugly ghosts are the highest in the entire Demon City.

The reason why Roy came to Group 7 was because he heard that the ghost gates of Groups 2 and 7 appeared very frequently, and Group 7 was closer to their stronghold, so he came here, intending to find a ghost gate and sneak into it. The human world on the other side.

But I didn't expect to meet Aoyu, and then attract Uzen Kyoka.

In the end, he interfered with the Ghost Gate with his magic eyes and attracted the Thunder Refiner of the Eight Thunder Gods.

This series of changes is overwhelming.

But thanks to this, Roy also successfully connected with Uzen Kyoka. He didn't have to go to the human world on the other side to do something and then joined the magic defense team. It was an unexpected blessing.

The seventh group dormitory is located on a plain in the south of the magic city.

Group 7 dormitories are different from Group 9 dormitories. Group 9 dormitories are extremely luxurious and even have an indoor hot spring inside. Group 7 dormitories are much more normal and look the same as school dormitories.

Although it is only two stories high, because there are only a few people living in it, it looks very open. There are many rooms of various types, and the outside of the dormitory is also covered by the same barrier as the ninth group.

"This is the dormitory of Group 7!"

Kyoka Uzen and Roy ran for two hours before finally returning to the dormitory of Group 7.

She took Roy into the barrier and into the dormitory. She took off her shoes at the entrance and took him to the living room.

"You have traveled such a long way, please rest here first. I will report on the work first, and then send you back to the living world, okay?"

"Okay, I'm not in a hurry."

Roy casually sat down on the sofa in the living room, smiled and nodded.

"I can't thank you enough."

Kyoka Umae breathed a sigh of relief.

She went to the kitchen and poured Roy a cup of tea, then returned to her room, sat down at the desk, turned on the computer, and logged into the magic defense team's app.

Then I made a video call to a registered friend.

The call was answered quickly.

There was a lazy voice coming from over there.

"Jingxiang? It's really rare for you to come to me outside of work!"

"Because there's an emergency, team leader."

Kyoka Uzen sat upright at the table, her expression serious.

On the screen in front of her, what appeared on the other end was a girl wearing strawberry-patterned pajamas. Her face could not be seen clearly in the video. She could only be seen sitting on the bed in a duck-sitting position, with someone beside her. There were two dogs, one black and one white. The girl stretched out her white palms and stroked the two dogs happily.

From time to time, you can still hear the sound of "yo yo yo yo".

"Emergency situation? You said this even though you are always serious. It must be a situation that is beyond your expectation. What is it specifically?"

"That's it..."

Kyoka Uzen told the girl opposite her what happened in the canyon to the girl who was playing with her dog.

Nothing is hidden.

Even when she transformed into a slave for no apparent reason, she told the girl opposite her all about it.

"You transformed yourself? Congratulations to you."

The girl opposite buried her face in the dog's hair, rubbed it with happiness, and congratulated Jingxiang sincerely.

"Your peach ability cannot be used to enhance your own strength, which has always been the biggest drawback. In this way, you have overcome even the biggest drawback of your own ability, and you are one step closer to your ambition to become the overall team leader. , of course, I will always be the overall leader of the magic defense team, no matter how strong you become~"

Kyoka Uzen sighed softly, a trace of sadness appeared on her expression.

"That's the problem. On the way back, I tried again and the transformation failed."

"Um?"

"I tried to go into slave form myself, but there was no reaction at all."

"...Maybe it's because your abilities have evolved and you haven't mastered the new evolution yet?"

"No, my ability has no response at all. In contrast, I prefer that I can't do it at all. It was just an accident that I could transform into a slave form before."

"Haha, I feel a little sorry for you, Jingxiang, you have finally narrowed the gap with me~"

The girl on the other side of the screen lifted herself from the dog, revealing a moist and round face. There was no trace of pink on her oval face. Although she was just plain-faced, her beauty was not inferior to that of Uzen Kyouka.

Her purple eyes, as clear as spinels, seemed to be able to speak, revealing her pity for Uzen Kyoka.

"If I remember correctly, there can only be one slave you bind with the 'Infinity Lock' at the same time, right? And before this slave dies, the contract cannot be canceled, and you cannot sign it with the next slave. contract?"

"...That's right."

"Hahaha, doesn't that mean your ability has completely become useless?"

The girl on the other side of the screen couldn't help but cover her lips, with a deep smile in her eyes.

Kyoka Uzen looked depressed and said nothing.

This is the character of the overall team leader.

She never cares about other people's feelings and will only express her own thoughts in her own way. Even if she offends others, she doesn't care at all.

If she wanted something, she would grab it with her own hands.

If she encounters failure, she will regard it as a shame in life and try every means to wash away this shame.

She is a born winner and does not allow herself to fail or her subordinates to betray her. She places herself high in the clouds and looks down on everyone like a god.

Uzen Kyoka already knew what kind of person the overall team leader was and would not be offended by her remarks.

But she was still in an extremely bad mood at the moment.

Just like what the team leader said.

The slave she contracted with the Infinity Lock cannot be unlocked by external abilities. Even she herself cannot take the initiative to terminate the contract.

There is only one way to terminate the contract.

Either the master dies or the slave dies.

No other options exist.

Moreover, there can only be one slave of hers at the same time!

In the previous battle in the canyon, Uzen Kyoka herself became a slave.

This was done based on Roy's contract reversal technique. After his contract reversal ended and he left, Kyoka Umae was in big trouble.

She turned herself into a slave. She had become a slave, and she was the only slave. Even if Roy's contract was reversed, the target of her infinite lock had been locked to herself.

But her Infinity Lock cannot theoretically be activated on herself.

In other words, her ability has fallen into a self-contradictory endless loop.

Unless the slave Kyoka Uzen dies, Kyoka Uzen will never be able to contract the next slave.

"What's this!"

Kyoka Umae punched the table hard, her face full of anger.

She didn't know about the reversal of the contract, but she knew that she was now a slave, but her ability could not turn her into a slave. This contradictory result resulted in - her Infinity Lock was completely destroyed!

She doesn't even know what's wrong or where to start to fix it!

If there is any difference between activating the Infinity Lock this time and before, there is only one.

The contract she signed this time was with Roy.

Roy.

Thinking of the young man sitting in the living room at this moment, Uzen Kyoka frowned slightly, feeling a little confused in her heart.

To be honest, Uzen Kyoka couldn't see through that boy Roy.

There seem to be many mysteries and incredible things about him.

Could her ability malfunction have anything to do with him?

Kyoka Uzen doesn't know.

"How did you transform before? Let's re-enact the scene at that time and see. Maybe we can find something?"

At this time, the woman on the other side of the screen finally had enough laughter, wiped the tears that overflowed from the corners of her eyes, and gave her a suggestion with a smile.

"Although you have been aiming at my position as the overall team leader, I recognize your talents. If you go down, I won't be able to bring up another team leader in a short time."

"You're right...I'll try it later."

After hearing this, Kyoka Uzen suddenly understood, her expression brightened slightly, she suppressed all the emotions in her heart for the time being, and changed the topic back to the topic.

"There are other questions, about the strange woman who can control ugly ghosts, and the strange existence who calls himself the Eight Thunder Gods. How to deal with that?"

"Well, this... you should increase patrols for the time being. If you encounter the Eight Thunder Gods, you can fight them if you can, and retreat if you can't, or you can contact me."

The woman on the other side of the screen laughed.

She raised her chin and laughed high, with a look of contempt on her face.

"No matter what the Eight Thunder Gods or the Nine Flame Gods are, I will defeat them all! Tell them that this era does not need gods at all!"

"After all, I - Yamashiro Ren, am the strongest!"

"...I understand."

Kyoka Yuzen frowned, somewhat disagreeing with her statement, but still nodded obediently and agreed with her strategy.

The head of the Magic Defense Team, Yamashiro Ren.

This is the name of the woman on the other side of the screen.

She took the position of the head with an unprecedentedly powerful attitude, and her strength was the strongest among all the head leaders in history. She was unprecedentedly powerful, as powerful as a god!

If it was her, it would not be surprising even if she could beat the Eight Thunder Gods.

But Yuzen Kyoka felt very unwilling.

Her ideal was to become the general leader of the magic defense team and kill all the ugly ghosts in the magic city, and she needed strength for this.

Yamashiro Ren's saying "fight if you can, run if you can't" made her very angry. If she couldn't even beat the Eight Thunder Gods, how could she become the general leader?

But now her ability was useless, even if she wanted to say something unyielding, she didn't have the confidence.

She would probably only be laughed at by Yamashiro Ren.

"I must recover my strength, and even master a stronger power than before!"

Yuzen Kyoka swore secretly in her heart.

This is not a goal, but something that must be done.

If she can't even do this, then she will never be able to be the general leader in her life!

"Oh, and the woman who can control the ugly ghosts, she said she was originally a human, and she said something about the Onmyoji——"

"Ah, don't worry about this, I'll take care of it."

Yamashiro Ren interrupted her narration with a smile and waved her hand.

"That's it, I have something else to do."

As soon as the voice fell.

Without giving her a chance to react, the screen went black.

Yuzen Kyoka was stunned in front of the computer for a long time and let out a long breath.

This is Yamashiro Ren's style.

She won't give the other party room to say anything if she doesn't allow others to intervene. No matter what she wants to say, even if she wants to help get rid of that woman, she won't give her a chance.

Arbitrary and self-willed.

This is the strongest of the Magic Defense Team.

"It seems that the darkness within the Magic Defense Team should not be underestimated..."

Yuzen Kyoka took a deep breath and lay quietly on the chair.

She was silent for a long time, unable to say a word.

…………

In the living room.

Roy sat on the sofa, looked around, and confirmed that there was no one around. He took out the smartphone he used to curse the world from his pocket.

He unexpectedly found that there was wireless network in the dormitory of Group 7. The ghost gate of the magic city was really strange.

Roy ignored the network here, but clicked on the message column and found the blank sender.

"You look very concerned?"

"What do you mean?"

After a while, the source sent a message.

"Mother of the Eight Thunder Gods, you sent me a message directly, didn't you? You care about that mother? Don't say it's just a coincidence. This is the first time you contacted me after entering this world."

"I won't quibble like humans. I do care about this. That mother is full of mysteries."

"It's full of mysteries for you? This is really rare."

"Don't think I'm too omnipotent, especially in the outside world."

The source sent a message, "I said before that my understanding of that world must also be carried out through you as a tentacle. I don't plan to exert too much power there. It's not a problem to bring you back, but I won't help you defeat the enemy, especially since that mother herself is not simple."

"What do you mean? How simple can she be?"

Roy asked curiously.

According to the information obtained by his familiar, the mother has been staying in the dark spiral pattern card and has not even appeared once. It seems that only Daji can communicate with the mother.

But even his familiar can't find it, so the mother may not be that strong, right?

That's what Roy thought.

That mother might be strong, but not beyond imagination.

If he fought with all his strength, even if he couldn't win, it wouldn't be a problem for him to survive.

"She might have godhood."

"What did you say?"

Roy's eyes suddenly fixed, and his expression became serious.

"Godhood? She has godhood? Is there a real god in this world?"

That Lei Lian.

Although she called herself the Eight Thunder Gods.

But Roy didn't feel any divinity from her at all!

Maybe the definition of gods in different worlds is different, but Lei Lian herself is just strong, without any divinity in her body. Even her strength, Roy didn't think she was really strong, at least Roy felt that he would not lose.

If it was a real god, even Roy would have to retreat.

It's true that his current strength has become much stronger, but it's still far from enough to fight against a real god. If it was just a fallen god like the one in the Type-Moon world, it would be okay.

The so-called Eight Thunder Gods, in Roy's eyes, are just a group of relatively strong guys.

But their mother actually has a godhood?

Are you kidding?

If the mother has a godhood, why don't the Eight Thunder Gods she gave birth to have a trace of divinity? The descendants of the true gods should at least have some unusual features, right?

Don't say that their strength is the most unusual thing about them.

That would make Roy want to laugh.

"This is also what I find strange. I don't smell the smell of divinity in this world, and there is no trace of divinity in the Eight Thunder Gods. Only that mother, I see something like a godhood in her."

"Is it the real godhood?"

"Divine nature is different in different worlds, but it is indeed the same thing as the godhood."

"...Is it true or not? That's troublesome!"

Roy fell silent, and scratched the back of his head in annoyance after a while.

He really didn't think he had the ability to go against the real god.

After thinking about it, he lowered his head again and typed on his phone.

"Can you see what level of god she is? The strength of a god? Or the strength of a god? Or the main god level?"

"If your servant is closer, you might be able to see more."

In other words, apart from knowing that there is a suspected godhood, nothing else can be seen clearly.

What a useless source!

"There is undoubtedly something strange in this world. In theory, real gods should not appear in this world without any divine soil."

The source sent messages one after another.

"You'd better be careful. If it doesn't work, just wake up the trump card I gave you."

Wake up the trump card He gave?

Roy was stunned for a moment, then reacted.

That's right.

If there is a real god in this world, then neither he nor Miss Okita can be her opponent, and only by waking her up can we deal with that god.

Perhaps, it can also prevent the so-called "cleansing day" from happening?

The reason why the mother has not fully awakened, the Eight Thunder God said that a large number of sacrifices are needed. It may be because of insufficient vitality that she cannot wake up.

If we prevent the purge day from happening, maybe we can make the Mother of Eight Thunder Gods sleep forever.

However, as long as the Mother of Eight Thunder Gods still exists, she is a huge hidden danger.

If we want the stability of the Magic City and want to get a stable supply of peaches from here, we still have to find a way to solve this hidden danger.

Roy turned off his phone and put it in his pocket.

"But, the Ghost Gate is a spell made by the gods, so my magic eye should have been backfired..."

In the canyon, Roy tried to intervene and control the Ghost Gate, but failed.

At this moment, he was relieved to know that the Mother of Eight Thunder Gods might be a real god.

The Ghost Gate is a spell made by the Mother of Eight Thunder Gods, and it is under the control of the Mother of Eight Thunder Gods. Roy forcibly intervened and competed with the gods for control, which was a bit reckless.

The reason why he can forcibly control the magical creation of the Holy Grail is because the Holy Grail has no independent will. If the Holy Grail has an independent will, it will probably resist Roy's invasion, causing Roy to be backfired.

In the final analysis, it was not the magic eye that was not good, but Roy himself.

Even with the help of the magic eye, he could not snatch the control of the spell from the hands of the gods.

And the mother of the eight thunder gods who controlled the ghost gate was in a deep sleep. Even if she noticed Roy's invasion, she could not punish Roy with divine punishment. She could only send the eight thunder gods under her command to check the situation, so Roy did not notice the "will of God" at that time.

If he wanted to snatch the spell from the hands of the gods, he would probably have to upgrade his pair of reverse moon magic eyes to the legendary "rainbow level" to be able to do it.

Roy got up on the sofa and stretched.

In any case, the mother of the eight thunder gods has not yet confirmed her resurrection, and he may not necessarily meet her. At this stage, he just needs to be prepared to evacuate the magic city at any time.

"Haven Kyoka hasn't finished reporting her work yet?"

Roy walked back and forth in the living room.

He still has to go to the present world.

He was a complete black household in the human world over there, so he had to create an identity for himself, otherwise it would be very troublesome if the magic defense team came to find him. The omnipotent foreign tourists were very suitable for dealing with the inspection of the magic defense team. It would be easy to get aviation records and passports by using hypnosis...

Roy walked out of the living room and looked at the kitchen next to him.

The magic defense team only had women, so it was not easy for him to go to places like bedrooms, but it would be okay to walk around in places like kitchens, right? It just so happened that he was a little hungry, and he hadn't eaten for a long time.

"Ahhh?!"

A shrill scream suddenly sounded.

Roy was startled and looked in the direction of the kitchen in surprise.

In the kitchen, in front of the refrigerator door, a slender long-haired girl was standing there, her eyes fell on Roy, her face flushed, and the finger pointing at him trembled uncontrollably.

"You, you, you, you, you, aren't you a man? Why are you here so late at night?"

The girl's facial features are quite pretty, but still a little immature. She looks young, probably only about 16 or 17 years old. She has long dark green hair that looks familiar. Her skin is dazzlingly white under the dark hair. Her exposed waist looks even slimmer than Kyoka Yuzen's.

Oh.

She's not wearing a coat.

Roy understood.

The girl was only wearing a set of white underwear, exposing large areas of white skin. She covered her underwear with one hand and pointed at Roy with embarrassment.

"Isn't this the kitchen?"

Roy looked at the stove and cabinets next to him and fell into deep confusion.

"Is it my fault that I met an exposed woman in the kitchen?"

The girl standing in front of the refrigerator door was stunned when she heard this.

She opened her mouth but had nothing to say.

The monthly ticket exceeded 600, and one more chapter was added, but she still owed six more chapters.
