Chapter 819: Chapter 422: The Love God’s Dark Side Ascends to Godhood, Goddess Grace?
"Finally, it’s time to begin... the true escape plan."
Tal Griffin’s face held a smile as calm as death.
The expression of skin smiling but the heart not found puzzled the followers of the Love God’s dark side, who kept coughing blood.
"Why? Aren’t we supposed to be partners?"
With a look as if he were staring at an idiot, Tal replied:
"As long as I sit in the position of the Lokeshi Honorary Emperor, I must consider from the perspective of this nation underfoot.
Foolish ones, in the perspective of major powers, there are never absolute partners, only absolute interests."
As he spoke, his hands never stopped moving, and with a flip, the ice blade shattered the Love God’s dark followers into pieces.
The demigods and legends, once so triumphant, instantly turned into a pile of minced flesh.
Everyone was stunned, staring at this man, confused as to why the betraying platinum giant chose to strike his allies.
They couldn’t understand, really couldn’t understand, was all this a trap designed to lure out the dark side’s hidden means and resolve them in advance?
But it didn’t make sense, who would draw out the enemy using a mutual destruction approach?
Yet, the dark followers of the Love God who threatened them walked toward death at this moment.
The one who acted was a traitor.
Some who still didn’t believe in his betrayal had excitement flash in their eyes.
While his current actions indeed had problems, at least it wasn’t betrayal.
If played well, it could indeed balance his merits and demerits.
They didn’t want to see a true betrayal among the top elites internally.
If the platinum giant betrayed, it meant at least half of the Griffin Family’s higher-ups were involved in this, otherwise, the platinum giant couldn’t hide it from his kin, nor the other families’ higher-ups.
But in the next moment, a chilling scene unfolded before their eyes.
One after another...
Powerful figures whom regular professionals wouldn’t touch in their lifetime appeared one by one behind Tal Griffin.
They held a certain sphere in their hands.
Within that sphere spread a twisted and filthy power.
Streaks of magic light flew from the skies, instantly targeting this group of strong beings.
"Don’t let them release those things! That’s Abyssal Pus, a conglomerate of all filth and corruption!"
Olivia gritted her teeth as she spoke.
No one knew Abyssal Pus better than the Great Sin.
Essentially, this substance was concentrated energy from the fusion of the Seven Deadly Sins.
Soaking in it long enough would indeed show traits of some of the sins.
It was precisely due to this that people back in the day wanted to extract Abyssal Pus from abyssal demons.
In fact... this stuff can serve as a "supplement" for the Sins.
It can completely act as "experience fruit" for the Sins.
But all this has a premise.
Which is that the Sins can withstand it.
Abyssal Pus is a more severe source of pollution than mental contamination.
Even if the Sins are tolerant toward it, touching too much would lead to madness symptoms.
The most likely outcome is the complete release of previously suppressed evil thoughts.
Especially the category of the Seven Deadly Sins one belongs to, which amplifies desires tenfold, hundredfold.
Her face was solemn as she looked at Tal Griffin, her voice colder as she spoke:
"Tal, should I interpret this as a declaration of war on us?"
Tal’s expression remained calm, taking the sealed sphere containing the Abyss Dragon from the hands of Lokeshi Empire leaders behind him.
Calmly, he said to Olivia:
"Her Highness Olivia, we have no intent to be enemies with you, nor with that person, but compared to those, the pain of a failed plan is harder to bear.
Master Louis is a presence capable of shaking an empire’s plans with personal power; we need means to counterbalance him, even if it means drawing on the power of the Abyss."
He spoke as if pronouncing a judgment.
Olivia gritted her teeth.
She finally understood his intentions.
Small amounts of Abyssal Pus can indeed enhance the power ceiling of the Sins.
Yet, the amount of Abyssal Pus in his hand was too much.
Moreover, Abyssal Pus could easily integrate into the Sins’ bodies.
Whether it was she or Louis, if they approached too close and allowed him the opportunity to destroy those spheres, releasing Abyssal Pus, it wouldn’t be long before they were affected.
This was absolutely unacceptable to her.
"Is your goal to prevent us from joining this battle?"
Olivia’s question was phrased as a query, but her tone was unusually certain.
Abyssal Pus surely had a use Tal Griffin needed, but the core purpose of choosing this stuff was to keep Louis from interfering.
At that moment, Louis’s voice appeared before them.
He looked gravely at Tal ahead, speaking deeply:
"What kind of terms did they offer you to make you willing to venture perilously for the Love God’s dark side?"
Tal Griffin chuckled and said:
"Perilously? Ha, is that what you think?"
Everyone present shattered the spheres, the filthy force spreading outward.
They were not fearful in the slightest, calmly allowing Abyssal Pus to squirm like sludge underfoot.
"Begin it, the final Ascending Ritual."
As his voice fell, those Abyssal Pus started to spread continuously.
Louis’s face shifted slightly, pulling Olivia and Alice out of the area instantly.
