Chapter 1636: Chapter 1229: The Plan of the Worm_2
A messenger?
Simu was very puzzled.
Then she looked at the Worm Apostle.
"So, worm, what message do you plan to deliver to me?"
Simu asked.
"I bring peaceful goodwill, as well as, a message for Long Yi."
"Then, what is the message?" Long Yi suddenly pushed the door open from one side and walked in.
"Long Yi?" Simu was extremely confused. Long Yi had clearly gone to the Plane of The Forgotten Ones and had not yet returned. Where did this Long Yi come from?
"Tell me, Worm, what do you have to tell me?" Long Yi asked.
"Yes, I represent those Worm Apostles who yearn for freedom, here to propose a deal. A deal that will permanently resolve the trouble with Worm Apostles. We will create an opportunity for you to approach the three High-level Apostles that control us. Once you get close to the High-level Apostles, we will immediately unite to suppress them until you eliminate them all," said the Worm Puppet.
"Since it’s a deal, what do you expect to get?" Long Yi pressed on.
"Survival, and freedom. We agree to let you transform us to ensure that we will not cause any trouble for you in the future, and at the same time, we hope to have the right to continue living."
The Worm Puppet said.
"This seems very beneficial to both parties, so I’ve decided to agree," said Long Yi.
"Good, then please come with me into the Plane of The Forgotten Ones."
"Sure, let’s go immediately."
The whole conversation process was filled with a strange smoothness. Simu was initially puzzled. But then she did not bother to ask anymore, and Elsa, as well as the others who arrived later, didn’t even have the chance to hear a word before Long Yi had already left.
"What on earth is going on?" Elsa asked curiously.
"What else could it be, nine times out of ten what I just witnessed was a farce directed and acted out by himself," Simu said.
Although Elsa had not seen the details, she basically guessed the content.
Yes, this was entirely something orchestrated by Long Yi, even the puppets were under his control, so there really was no need for any negotiation. They just had to go through the motions, and it was over.
Entering the Plane through a secret passage, the Worm Apostles conspiring to overturn the three High-level Apostles had already gathered. When they saw Long Yi, they were filled with surprise, as this was pretty much the arrival of a savior for them.
The leading Worm Apostle said, "Lord Long Yi, to prove our loyalty, we are willing to sign a servitude contract with you. We are willing to completely abandon self, in exchange for your trust in us."
But Long Yi shook his head and said, "I can already feel your determination, so there is absolutely no need, tell me your plan."
The Worms were stunned for a moment, clearly finding Long Yi’s inexplicable trust somewhat incredible, but none of this was a problem. If someone trusts you, what else is there to say?
"The plan is this: every day, the High-level Apostles will summon us to meet them and synchronize their consciousness with ours. During this opportunity, we will activate a device on us that can suppress the consciousness of an Apostle. You disguise yourself as an Apostle—blend in among us. Once we complete the suppression, you immediately strike and kill them!"
The leading Worm Apostle laid the plan out completely.
"But how can I disguise myself as an Apostle? After all, I am not an Apostle," said Long Yi.
"That is why, at this time, you need to trust us. We will copy part of the Apostles’ consciousness to you, which requires opening up your consciousness space... It is also for this reason that we had hoped to sign a servitude contract with you, to prove that we absolutely will not harm you," said the Worm Apostle.
"I see, no problem. You have already explained this much; I have no reason not to trust you now. Come, copy the consciousness," Long Yi said.
"Your trust in us is moving, Lord Long Yi!" said the leading Worm Apostle excitedly.
Long Yi released his thoughts, and the consciousness of the Worm Apostle was immediately copied into him. Coupled with Long Yi’s own Divine Status and Divine Power, he now appeared no different from a regular Worm Apostle in the perception of the common Worm Apostles.
Long Yi donned the armor specially prepared for him, thus, everything was foolproof.
"So, when do we go meet those three High-level Apostles?" Long Yi asked.
"Actually, it’s right now," the leading Worm Apostle said.
"What a coincidence?" Long Yi smiled.
"Yes, we thought you would arrive a bit later. But you came much earlier than we expected, and it just so happened to coincide with this opportunity. Of course, if you still need time to prepare, you can wait. After all, safety first," the leading Worm Apostle said.
"No, there’s absolutely no need to prepare anything else, what would I, in all my grandeur, need to prepare?" Let’s set off! Long Yi said nonchalantly.
"Truly worthy of being Lord Long Yi, your bravery and confidence are admirable!"
The Worm Apostle led Long Yi deep into the planetary system. The Forgotten Ones’ clan was composed of several planets, but the High-level Apostles were not on any planet; rather, they were in a device at the center of the system.
That device was an enormous brainwashing device under construction, which, once operational, would control all The Forgotten Ones and turn them into Puppets. At that time, billions of armed The Forgotten Ones would flood out of this Plane, and the front lines would face a massive crisis.
But now that Long Yi had arrived, such an event would definitely not occur.
The Worm Apostles were all gathering towards this location, and Long Yi, mingled among them, was completely unnoticed. The Worm Apostles entered the large device one after another, not exchanging any information among themselves, relying only on vibrations to recognize each other’s existence.
Finally, all the Worm Apostles came to a very spacious hall, where Divine Power surged and light shot out from every corner. Three large metal discs revolved around a spherical device, and on the metal discs, there were also three Worm Apostles exuding powerful Divine Status fluctuations, they seemed to be the High-level Apostles.
"You’ve all arrived, so now, release your consciousness, and I will synchronize you."
A High-level Apostle slowly descended, still high above.
At once, all Apostles released their consciousness.
But clearly, there was someone here who absolutely could not open up their mind.
Long Yi.
"You, why don’t you release your consciousness? Are you questioning your Overlord?" the High-level Apostle roared.
Hearing this shout, the two other High-level Apostles also descended, simultaneously looking at Long Yi, who remained silent.
"Answer me, lowly servant! Otherwise, I will forcibly pry open your thoughts and turn you into a Puppet!" another Worm Apostle shouted.
At this moment, Long Yi, however, raised his head and slowly said, "That’s because, to me, three dead bugs don’t merit much conversation!"
Buzz!
All the Worm Apostles, already prepared for rebellion, activated the suppression device at the same time, and Long Yi immediately burst out of his armor and entered the state of Divinization. In an instant, he appeared beside one of the Worm Apostles, aiming a punch at the chest. The fist, imbued with all his Divine Power, smashed through the armor and also the Worm Apostle within.
"One!" Long Yi roared, turning to charge at the second High-level Apostle.
"It’s Long Yi!" the High-level Apostle exclaimed, preparing to flee, but his apostolic consciousness had been suppressed. Mere Divine Power couldn’t match Long Yi, and with only a single punch, the second Apostle was annihilated.
"The last one!"
Boom!
The punch thundered forward, yet stopped right in front of the Apostle, unable to advance even a fraction further.
