Chapter 1411: Chapter 1246: Dog and Dog Leash (Part 2)
This... seems right?
Partly convinced by his companion’s theory, the True God who noticed the situation was wrong nodded in agreement. Suddenly remembering something, he asked worriedly:
"Forget about Throstle Crow for now, is this arrangement really okay for us?"
"Huh?"
"I mean the ambush on the Food God."
Looking at the excited expressions of the gods in the encirclement, the questioning True God couldn’t help but speak worriedly:
"The command given by Father on God Gathering Island was merely to try to stall the Food God. But we directly ambush and encircle him..."
"It’s fine, ambushing him is the right move!"
Feeling several kinds of root sources within him start to boil as the Food God stepped into the encirclement, Angel True God took a deep breath and said with a slightly flushed face:
"The Food God is capable of killing several root remnants, his power is naturally extraordinary, directly confronting him head-on would surely result in heavy casualties. If we can injure him through ambush, the pressure in our subsequent confrontation will be much less."
"But... what if he notices it?"
"What are you afraid of him noticing?"
Watching Leon already entering the center of the encirclement, about to reach the predetermined ambush spot, Angel True God replied without blinking:
"Even if he finds out about our ambush, it’s merely a shift from ambush to overt confrontation. We were originally tasked to stall him, so why not attempt to ambush him first?"
"..."
Well, that makes sense...
After hearing Angel True God’s response, the questioning True God subconsciously nodded slightly, then instinctively clenched his fist and gritted his teeth, saying:
"You’re right! Let’s do it! No matter how strong he is, the Food God is just one person, with Father’s blessing, we might even defeat him!"
"Oh? What blessing did Fredri give you?"
Father gave...?!!!?
Upon hearing a curious inquiry from behind, the questioning True God immediately shuddered and turned around in panic, discovering that the Food God, who was supposed to be in the center of the encirclement, was bizarrely appearing behind him riding an old yellow bull!
"You?! You you you?!!!"
"I sensed a dream realm aura on you, you should be a True God with powers related to dream realms, aren’t you?"
After subtly stirring a bit of dream realm root source, mixing it into the ring of yellow clouds over Ring Time Mountain, and pulling hundreds of True Gods into individual dream realms, Leon curiously asked:
"The root source I have the most is the dream realm root, it should be your nemesis. So what blessing did Fredri give you that made you want to challenge me?"
I... I didn’t plan to fight you... No, no! I’m different now, I also have the dream realm root! I’m not afraid of you!!!
Seeing the curious look on the Food God’s face, the trembling Dream Realm True God invoked the boiling source within him, and with a sudden wave, the dream realm embedded in numerous brass clouds shattered in an instant!
Moreover, it’s not just him; at the moment Leon’s will carried countless dream realms spreading out, more than half of the True Gods sensed something wrong and immediately reacted by invoking the dream realm roots allocated to them, roaring and escaping from the dream realm!
"Food God! You’re finished!"
Adhering to the idea that even if defeated, the momentum can’t be lost, the elderly pillar god led a group of True Gods to encircle Leon, and with imposing momentum, declared amidst Throstle Crow’s desperate gaze:
"Relying on Father’s boon, we have mastered the root source like you, you can no longer defeat us easily with roots alone!"
"Oh..."
So it’s roots, Fredri really went all out.
Feeling the undoubtedly genuine albeit small amounts of root sources surrounding him, Leon’s brows furrowed slightly.
The root sources held by these True Gods are very few and can’t be used to attack him but are sufficient to exempt them from being ’crushed’ by roots. Dragging them into a dream realm to knock them down all at once by the dream realm root is no longer feasible and...
"Where is Fredri?"
Feeling an ominous premonition surging in his heart, Leon opened his mouth, frowning:
"Where did she go? Why isn’t she here?"
"You don’t deserve to know!"
"Haha, you guess!"
"Stop talking nonsense!"
The designated combat objective was delaying time, aiming for a hold-your-ground approach, the vocal True Gods immediately clamored indignantly, and a beast-shaped pillar god—half tiger-headed, nearly ten meters long—wearing several different roots roared and lunged toward Leon.
"Die, Food God! Today I, the supreme... Meow? Meow? Meow meow meow?!!!"
What kind of stuff is this.
Casually pinching the charging tiger-headed moron into a palm-sized kitten, Leon, amidst the gods’ confused gaze, shoved the supreme cat—which had wandered the Shepherd’s Plain for thousands of years and escaped multiple times from its dominator’s hands—into the old yellow bull’s mouth, then lightly tapped its belly.
"Go, find those with more roots."
"?!!!"x N
No... that’s not right?!!!
Watching Leon, leading the charge into the gods’ crowd, grabbing anyone who dared to move, the questioning True God trembled all over, beginning to doubt whether he was still dreaming.
Didn’t we agree that with roots, we could at least hold up against the Food God, maybe even not be instantly defeated? Then what is this nonsense? Why are pillar gods full of roots unable to withstand him even once? This is...
"Do not fear! It’s all a bluff!"
Seeing the encirclement beginning to dissipate, the Angel True God, status second only to the pillar gods, immediately stood up and shouted:
"This must be a collective illusion trap! The Food God, unable to root crush us, could never easily defeat so many! He’s... Cluck-cluck? Cluck-cluck?"
Isn’t there a possibility that I prefer using roots because it’s faster, not because I’m helpless without them against you?
Weighing the angel chick with a contamination value of only 70 points, Leon—whose current contamination value had reached 89.9 points—casually stuffed its terrified eyes into the old yellow bull’s mouth, then gestured lightly toward the elderly pillar god running away not far away.
Under the horrified view of the True Gods, the escaping elderly pillar god trembled all over, and the next moment, his size rapidly shrunk, yelping as he turned into a gray-furred Shih Tzu and bounced back towards Leon, promptly getting snatched and swallowed by the old yellow bull!
Hmm, gotta admit, that secret technique had been worth learning.
After combining Gemini’s [Abnormal Deception] and Sagittarius’s [Abnormal Enhancement (Pollution)], transforming the elderly pillar god into a tongue-lolling happy-go-lucky Shih Tzu remotely, Leon nodded contentedly, then pursed his lips towards the trembling gods, nudging his tongue against his upper teeth.
"Tsst tsst tsst~"
"Woof woof woof?!!"xN
...
It’s over, we’re really done now!
Seeing over a hundred Shih Tzus appear at Leon’s tsst call, Throstle Crow abandoned in the brass clouds closed his eyes in despair.
Surely finished, I am surely finished!
If there was still Disaster Avoidance, perhaps I could have struggled a bit, but that damned woman mobilized the No. 1 root, locking my Disaster Avoidance! I am... huh?
Just as Throstle Crow was closing eyes waiting for demise, he suddenly felt his neck lighten, that tiny chain heavy as mountains inexplicably snapped, its fragments dissolved into fine sand, quietly drifting away on the breeze until they vanished completely, leaving no trace.
