Chapter 2284: Setting Up and Using a Segue
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Fights between Samsara Realm Dictators might not result in death, and they would continue to avoid each other in the future, but they would instruct their subordinates to take over the fight to cause a war to break out.
Such a situation had happened in the past, and the biggest victim had been the entire Marsh East Circle.
It was always best to be prepared.
Was the Marsh East Circle going to have to suffer through another war?
The air of desolation formed a harrowing wail, and the figures of six Turning Wheel Realm Dictators appeared in midair.
The six Turning Wheel Realm Dictators positioned themselves facing each other in pairs, assuming a kneeling position on the ground, thus forming a makeshift throne.
Among them emerged a short-haired, muscular man who took his place on the throne. His distinct features included red eyes and gray hair.
He held a remarkable three-meter-long knife in his left hand that radiated a mesmerizing display of nine colors. The knife was undoubtedly a Dictator’s source totem, a testament to its origin from a Dictator who had successfully transcended the Turning Wheel Realm. The luminance of the light emitted by the knife further affirmed its prestigious lineage.
Dictator Carnage Source sensed Dictator Tyrant Lizard’s death and silently fixed his cold eyes onto Lin Yuan. It was as though he was waiting for Lin Yuan to offer an explanation.
Only Dictator Carnage Source’s close subordinates had the right to be by his side.
But at that moment, none of the Turning Wheel Realm Dictators dared to stick their necks out to say a word against Lin Yuan.
It was best for these Turning Wheel Realms to play it safe when they were in the presence of a Samsara Realm Dictator.
Given their understanding of Dictator Carnage Source, he was probably trying to pick up the pieces of his pride and would not genuinely try to attack Dictator Ten Thousand Source.
If he was injured, there was a high chance that the other six figures would take advantage of him.
The seven Dictators in Marsh Abyss who had the word ‘source’ at the back of their names might be allies at certain times, but they were also rivals.
After Dictator Carnage Source appeared, Lin Yuan found out about Dictator Carnage Source’s power through communicating with Begin Lady.
Dictator Carnage Source’s aura was even stronger than that of Begin Lady. This meant that Begin Lady would be at a disadvantage if it had to fight Dictator Carnage Source.
But this did not mean that there was no way of fighting.
If Green Vine interfered during a fight between Begin Lady and Dictator Carnage Source, the latter would definitely take a hit.
But this did not mean that Lin Yuan’s side would be able to escape unscathed. In fact, he might even end up paying a higher price than Dictator Carnage Source.
Lin Yuan looked calmly at Dictator Carnage Source, and his eyes showed no intention of dodging.
This stalemate allowed Dictator Carnage Source to understand Lin Yuan’s stance.
As a result, Dictator Carnage Source was rather awkward.
You were the one who killed a Dictator who was under me. How can you expect me to lower my head first? Ridiculous!
If Dictator Carnage Source could clearly sense Lin Yuan’s power, he would have pushed on with the stalemate.
But the key point was that Dictator Carnage Source could not sense Lin Yuan’s power.
Green Vine’s aura of annihilation frightened Dictator Carnage Source. He could be certain that this aura would definitely be able to harm him if it exploded. Thus, he decided to stop the stalemate.
In his long life, ever since calling himself Carnage Source, he had never been unable to sense the power of another being.
All Dictator Carnage Source could do was scoff before asking, “Ten Thousand Source, can I ask what Tyrant Lizard did to anger you that you had to kill him?”
Dictator Carnage Source’s words caused all of the Dictators present, including Dictator East Glow and Everything, to look shocked.
Firstly, Dictator Carnage Source had addressed Lin Yuan as ‘Ten Thousand Source’, meaning that he acknowledged this name. This meant that there would no longer be seven figures from Marsh Abyss, but eight!
Furthermore, Dictator Carnage Source’s cold and haughty tone was not due to him trying to put Dictator Ten Thousand Source at a spot but a segue that he had created for Dictator Ten Thousand Source to use.
Otherwise, there would be no need for Dictator Carnage Source to speak first and clash against Dictator Carnage Source’s aura. A more normal behavior would be to demand compensation from Dictator Ten Thousand Source.
Regardless of what Dictator Tyrant Lizard had done wrong, the fact remained that one of Dictator Carnage Source’s people had died while no one from Dictator Ten Thousand Source’s side had lost their lives.
Lin Yuan smiled faintly when he heard what Dictator Carnage Source said. This was a similar smile that he had put on when he faced Dictator Tyrant Lizard.
However, Lin Yuan had no intention of attacking Dictator Carnage Source.
What a joke. If they really started to fight, he would be the one suffering a bigger loss.
Lin Yuan was pretending to be a Dictator and was harvesting the resources he needed from the marsh world.
As such, it went without saying that he needed to take the segue that Dictator Carnage Source had created. Otherwise, if Dictator Carnage Source felt forced and ended up attacking him, he would have no choice but to give up on his act. “Your subordinate attacked my follower right in front of me. What would you have done if you were me?”
Lin Yuan’s words were reasonable.
Yet, when Dictator Carnage Source heard his words, his expression hardened.
Lin Yuan’s words seemed to be an explanation, but he was actually shirking responsibility and pushing the blame onto Dictator Carnage Source’s side.
This was not the behavior of one who was taking the segue.
I already set up the segue. Are you not going to take it? Do you think that you can do whatever you want with me?
Just as Dictator Carnage Source was about to speak, Lin Yuan went on to say, “l have established an alliance. Are you willing to join it? After joining the alliance, you will be given the right to share in the benefits and manage the alliance. I won’t restrain you in any way. ‘
If Lin Yuan was the king of the alliance, Lin Yuan’s words to Dictator Carnage Source were essentially offering Dictator Carnage Source the chance to be a king of equal status.
Dictator Carnage Source had appeared in time to hear Lin Yuan’s explanation of the alliance. Thus, he knew that this alliance could lead to him trading for the big and small source fruits.
Pure source-type power was also useful to Samsara Realm Dictators. This was why Samsara Realm Dictators were also unwilling to give away pure source-type power as rewards.
Lin Yuan’s words meant that Dictator Carnage Source would enjoy equal status with him and would also allow Dictator Carnage Source to fulfill his aim of coming.
Dictator Carnage Source happily accepted this means to an end.
A smile spread across Dictator Carnage Source’s cold and chiseled face.
He walked over to Lin Yuan and reached out his fist.
Bumping fists was a gesture of respect and agreement in the marsh world.
Lin Yuan gently bumped his fist against Dictator Carnage Source’s fist.
At that moment, the alliance that Lin Yuan had set up changed completely.
There had never been a faction in the marsh world that had two Samsara Realm Dictators.
Once news of this alliance leaked, an unimaginable number of Dictators would be clamoring to join..
