Chapter 1638: Chapter 1230 Exposed_2
"Asshole! How dare you underestimate me, die!" The Worm Apostle continuously unleashed mental beams, depleting Divine Power wildly, while Long Yi fearlessly bombarded back. As both sides pounded each other, Divine Power diminished even more. Being the one on the defensive, Long Yi’s Divine Power depleted even faster than the Worm Apostle!
"How about it, Long Yi, do you still have Divine Power?" The Worm Apostle jeered with a big laugh.
"None left, but what of it! Divine Power is... everywhere on the streets!" Saying this, right in front of the Worm Apostle, Long Yi’s Divine Power miraculously replenished again!
The Worm Apostle almost went mad. What was going on? His Divine Power had clearly bottomed out, so how could it suddenly surge so much?
Long Yi had always stored a large amount of Divine Power in the eternal entity, and now he just had to open a small portal to it in his personal space, hold it in his hand, and his Divine Power would refill!
This unbelievable scene genuinely terrified it. It had never seen anyone able to recover their Divine Power so rapidly! No, it had not even heard of such a thing!
Such a rate of recovering Divine Power would give him the upper hand in any fight against gods of the same Divine Status!
Asshole!
The Worm Apostle panicked; despite racking its brain, it could think of no better ideas.
"Give up, if according to our previous agreement, I turn you into a common person, I might still spare you. But if you continue being delusional, then don’t blame me for being rude. I might be patient, but only to an extent," Long Yi said.
"You wish! Even if I am no match for you now, do you think I would let you win so easily?" The Worm Apostle sneered, inching backwards.
"Or maybe you plan to suddenly conjure up a giant worm to scare me to death? Just so you know, the worm I fear the most is the green one, so put a little more thought into it if you try," Long Yi said.
"No, stupid Long Yi! Though I haven’t completed this device, and even without the strength of a Giant, I still can forcefully activate it! It can’t brainwash any of The Forgotten Ones, but it will immediately kill everyone in this Plane of The Forgotten Ones!" The Worm Apostle’s words were filled with ferocity.
"Aren’t you a Giant? Aren’t Giants always supposed to prioritize goodness? Come on, tell me your choice, whether or not you would kill me and thereby kill these ten billion Forgotten Ones! Can you bear the guilt of these countless lives?" The Worm Apostle roared.
"You’ve made a big mistake," Long Yi smiled.
"Firstly, although I am a Giant, I am just a Pioneer; I don’t possess the pure goodness of a Giant. I’ve walked from the Human Realm to here, killing countless lives."
"Secondly, if you really do activate this device and kill all of The Forgotten Ones, it’s merely one less group of enemies for me. Besides, the one who killed them would not be me, but you, so I wouldn’t feel any psychological burden at all. On the contrary, you are the huge threat to the entire universe. A single race in exchange for the peace of the entire universe, I think it’s worth it," Long Yi chuckled.
"Asshole! In that case, go to hell!"
The Worm Apostle rushed to the top of the spherical device, injecting Divine Power into it, but nothing happened.
"What’s happening?" The Worm Apostle again injected Divine Power, but still, nothing happened.
"Sorry, I really don’t know what this thing should look like after it’s activated, so I can’t make up any more stories," Long Yi said with a chuckle.
"Making up stories?"
The Worm Apostle became even more confused. Suddenly, he realized he was still standing dumbly in the same spot, and Long Yi was right in front of him. At this moment, his body was devoid of Divine Power, and there was no chance to dodge. Was everything just now an illusion? Was he actually being mind-controlled by Long Yi? But how could that be possible!
"Strange, isn’t it, worm? A mighty Worm being mind-controlled by someone else? Does it feel especially helpless and unjust?" Long Yi said with a smirk.
The Worm Apostle snorted coldly, without any superfluous words. Instead, he stood up and rushed towards the upper part of the sphere, pouring his Divine Power into it.
But, nothing happened.
"I think you understand without me saying too much, I would absolutely never let you activate this thing. Actually, before that, I didn’t even know this thing had such a function," Long Yi’s voice came from ahead again. At this moment, the Worm Apostle was shocked to discover he was still standing in the same spot without moving! He jumped again, but this time he did not activate the device. Instead, he rushed towards a nearby Teleportation Gate and appeared on the periphery of that large device.
Feeling that Long Yi did not follow, the Worm Apostle heaved a sigh of relief, ready to continue his escape. However, he heard Long Yi’s words coming from beside his ear: "So before that, I had already made all the preparations. For instance, those Worm consciousnesses you just devoured, more than half of them were imitations I created. Although they appear to be the consciousness of Worm Apostles, once you devour and assimilate them, it means your thoughts have already come under my control. Of course, I initially just speculated you would do such a thing, even under my coercion, but I didn’t expect you to actively do it. This exquisite cooperation really satisfies me; I almost want to give you a thumbs-up."
Long Yi continued talking to himself while also walking around the device. As he passed by the Worm Apostle, the latter suddenly burst forth with all his strength aiming at Long Yi, but when he snapped back to reality, he was still standing in the same spot without having moved an inch.
"Don’t keep trying; all the actions you want to perform have been replaced by illusions. Even your physical body has long since ceased to exist."
At this point, Long Yi snapped his fingers. Only then did the Worm Apostle realize his armor had been shattered by Long Yi, his head severed! In his dying moments, Long Yi awoke part of the consciousness merged with him, aiming to figure out how the device truly worked.
Now Long Yi had achieved his goal.
"You really didn’t disappoint me, worm," Long Yi remarked, holding the head in one hand. He watched as Divine Power surged in his palm, and then the head, maintained alive through Divine Power, turned into dust, leaving nothing behind.
At this moment, everything around him started changing as well.
Long Yi was no longer in his composed demeanor but was covered in blood. The Worm Apostle in front of him wasn’t just a severed head. His armored chest had been torn apart, but his main body was still present. Only now, he was already dead.
Long Yi let out a long breath, his Divine Power depleted, and he shook his head wryly, saying in the pact: "The Worm Apostle is dead, it’s time to try shutting down this device."
At that moment, on the outer perimeter of that gigantic device, Belle was continually firing a special Beam. This Beam drew Divine Power from Long Yi, continuously injecting it into the device to keep it stable. Upon receiving Long Yi’s message, Belle immediately rushed towards the device, and soon, the device was completely shut down.
"Damn, that was really dangerous!" Long Yi said, raising his hand and blasting the armor and The Forgotten Ones into pieces.
As it turned out, Long Yi’s plan had been exposed from the beginning.
From the moment Long Yi entered the device, after he subdued two High-level Worm Apostles and killed two Worm Apostles. The forces originally suppressing the High-level Apostles suddenly turned against Long Yi! The fake Long Yi containing the Apostle’s consciousness was immediately suppressed there, and the only remaining High-level Apostle casually tore the fake Long Yi to shreds. After that, the sole remaining High-level Apostle turned to the real Long Yi and said, "Come now, it’s just you and me left here, why continue to hide?"
