Has it already begun?
Through its own authority, after sensing countless fiercely surging [Heart Lakes], the Snow Fox heading toward the Earth's core couldn't help but let out a satisfied chuckle and completely put its mind at ease.
Although that Food God from the Clean-up Bureau indeed looked a bit sinister, even after being sprayed solidly by the bloodline of [Tranquility], it still managed to forcefully act under the authority of [Tranquility], which did give it a scare.
However, as a False Illusion and Heart Lake God, it was different from those fools it had met in the past.
Those foolish and arrogant so-called True Gods were merely crudely wielding their authority, and such clumsy and simplistic operations, akin to holding a bomb and hitting people with its shell, completely wasted their true strengths, putting themselves in danger.
Those idiots seeing the True God's authority as weapons and engaging in direct battles with the Clean-up Bureau's cleaners was, in essence, a foolish act. Once their authority didn't work, getting resisted or even countered by this Food God, naturally, they'd suffer a great loss.
The correct usage of True God's authority should be like its own, where there's not even a need to show up, simply relying on the unparalleled influence range of True God's authority to exert influence from a distance where the opponent can't fight back... such as now.
Feeling the [Heart Lakes] in Rehe City above, one after another starting to surge madly, and through those agitated Heart Lakes, a massive power constantly coming to itself, the Snow Fox felt thoroughly delighted and couldn't help but close its eyes in delight.
...
Human emotions are really exceptionally useful things.
A mere insignificant contact, plus some superficial verbal provocation, could ignite a blazing fire in their Heart Lakes, burning away all their reason and thoughts.
And before entering the underground Rehe, when wandering through that black-and-white Rehe City with Dongya, it came into contact with at least hundreds of creatures, leaving the seeds of [False Illusion] in their Heart Lakes.
Those creatures with seeds planted, as long as they couldn't maintain the peace of their souls, would have their Heart Lakes invaded by its seeds, taking root completely. Whether it's joy or sorrow, laughter or anger, all their intense emotions would become nutrients for the seeds to grow.
Once its seeds, nurtured by the Heart Lakes, begin to "sprout branches," the [False Illusion] world it wants them to see would gradually replace the original real world, becoming the only and undeniable reality.
When the False Illusion successfully replaces the real, the false world they see would then evoke even greater waves in their Heart Lakes, until emotions catch fire through the seeds' crimson flame flowers, refining these lowly, dull creatures into exquisite puppets faithful only to itself.
As these puppets are purified, the flames in their Heart Lakes would become new "seeds," and with body contact and emotional immersion, the stirring flames would spread to more souls, beginning to multiply rapidly.
Hundreds, thousands, tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands!
Feeling the flames of Heart Lakes already leaping in tens of thousands of hearts, with numbers advancing toward the million mark, and its own authority showcased, the Snow Fox couldn't help but let out a long breath of comfort, then turned to glance at its path.
Almost there! It's almost there!
As the largest city in the Northern Kingdom and even the entire northern part of the continent, Rehe City had a permanent population of over sixteen million.
And in this season when blizzards sweep and travel is difficult, there were nearly twenty million humans in Rehe City right now, along with a vast amount of beasts, insects, and birds, and parts of the Hexagonal Snow Mountain neighboring Rehe City, the total number of living beings above could probably approach one billion!
As long as it could plant its seeds in the Heart Lakes of these billions of creatures... no! Even if only half of them, and replace their reality with its created False Illusion, its power would leap, gaining the ability to directly contend with the Yellow Road Director!
And with the current speed of seed dispersion, it only needs less than a day to achieve this goal.
Moreover, the only one capable of stopping all of this, the Aquarius Director, was currently chasing behind it, completely unaware of what was happening above ground, and the others were completely helpless, leaving it only a bit short of complete success.
As for that strange Food God, no matter how unique, against the absolute power crushing force, is essentially worthless... well... hard to say.
Thinking of Leon's encounters with the Slaughter King Association, as well as other members who inexplicably fell into Leon's hands, the formerly confident Snow Fox couldn't help but waver.
Based on its understanding, apart from the Aquarius Director who "won" against that Food God once, successfully replacing the Clean-up Bureau's Taurus to complete the throne, there seems to be no one else who could laugh last in front of that Leon.
Even several times thought to be highly predictable successful operations were easily resolved by him. The Xue Xiao and Black Owl siblings were also turned and defected by him, and Dongya almost lost its life because of him; now, at the mention of Leon, it shivers.
So... caution is still needed. Even if it can't directly get rid of him, it needs to find some ways to limit his actions, preventing this troublesome guy from messing up its plans.
Recalling the brief contact with Leon, the Snow Fox's previously relaxed brow couldn't help but slightly furrow, then it stopped in its tracks, turning to look at the position where the massive Heart Lake was leaking behind.
The Director of the Clean-up Bureau Aquarius Branch, after having its Heart Lake broken by the illusion planted by itself and quickly realizing, blocking the senses to exempt the intrusion of illusions, effectively lost three of its five senses too.
Currently, he was chasing Dongya, led by that fool running aimlessly, should not catch up anytime soon, conveniently leaving it a bit of time for "operation".
Finding a relatively stable gap, briefly detaching from the lava channel rushing to the core, the Snow Fox closed its eyes, sensing myriad chaotic burning Heart Lakes above, and soon found a fiercely burning flame near Leon's calm and peaceful Heart Lake.
It's you!
...
"Hah..."
So cold!
Even with a Level 1 Cleaner level body, already having some "cold and heat resistant" capability, upon snowflakes melting at the neck and seeping into the collar, Leon, brushing off residual snow outside the Aquarius Branch, couldn't help but shiver.
"Uncle Hope!"
Unlike Leon, who still maintained his calm, the female cleaner, full of worry, had no time to look after herself, rushing into a thick felt tent under the black stone beam, with melting snowflakes still on her head.
"Quick! Quickly get everyone! Something big is happening!"
