Chapter 520: Chapter 254: Interrogation! Summoning Xin’s Followers!

Asking for a name, in essence, is not truly inquiring about the other person’s name. It’s a special kind of obedience test. If the other person is not honest, Ye Mingqiu doesn’t mind cutting off a few more limbs until he speaks truthfully.

Ye Mingqiu only pursues efficiency. He just wants this Lord to answer honestly as quickly as possible.

"Why doesn’t the Empire collect the Raw Stones from the Elf Detection Institute?" he asked simply and directly.

"...."

Gares was slightly stunned, not expecting this question at all. He thought this guy was here to hold him accountable for his wrongdoings, and had even prepared some rhetoric to respond.

With this, the rhetoric he had prepared was rendered useless. After a brief thought, Gares replied, "Because there is something anomalous in the Detection Institute, and the groups sent to collect the Raw Stones all disappeared, with no survivors. So no one dares to continue collecting them."

"...."

Ye Mingqiu frowned slightly, gradually realizing something was wrong. Even though he always thought that shadow was weak, just a mere spiritual supplement.

However, there are plenty of strong individuals within the Empire, many Dominator Level existences. Those sent to find the Raw Stones are likely not weak, so perhaps that shadow was stronger than he imagined, just suppressed by him, which made it seem weak.

The specific reason....

Soul Attribute attack?

Perhaps that shadow is proficient in Soul Attacks, and Ye Mingqiu’s Soul Strength is absurdly high, thus completely immune to the opponent’s output, making him slightly dizzy at most, leading to a misjudgment of the shadow’s power.

That must be it.

Misjudging the facts due to objective factors isn’t fatal. What’s fatal is believing the misjudgment and making wrong decisions based on it.

"Now, where are all the Raw Stones?"

Ye Mingqiu asked.

"Raw Stones are generally controlled directly by the Emperor. There are currently nine Raw Stones in existence, controlled by the Three Great Emperors. I don’t have the qualification to know their exact number and locations."

"Is that so?"

Ye Mingqiu lowered his eyes in thought.

The Three Great Emperors proactively collecting the Raw Stones might not be a simple matter. "Utilizing the Raw Stones to drive Heroes," this purpose might be real, but it’s definitely not the sole purpose; it’s a smokescreen to hide other intentions.

The essence of Raw Stones is a special item constructed by the world’s Will, containing a massive amount of World Origin. Their real purpose is likely related to World Origin.

Are they intending to acquire World Origin?

If so, then the flourishing of the black tide has a reason. They don’t really want the Hero to suppress the black tide. If it is suppressed, and the Raw Stones are used, they can’t obtain the Raw Stones.

Conversely, if the Raw Stones remain unused and the black tide continues to expand, then the world’s Will would be forced to construct new Heroes and Raw Stones.

This cycle repeats, gradually leading the world toward destruction.

In this cycle of destruction, the Three Great Emperors are not anxious. They probably have mastered some power or path, possibly linked up with other worlds or Spiritualists, or gained some power believing they can also defeat the black tide.

Looking at the current state of the nobility, the probability of the Three Great Emperors planning to flee seems higher.

Speaking of...

Weren’t the previous emergency summons conducted in five-person squads? Why am I the only one this time?

[Answer: According to the Spirit Realm’s power assessment, the current emergency summons task is sufficient to be resolved alone.]

If it’s just one person, the difficulty would certainly be higher than a five-person squad, right? Facing higher difficulty, could I receive more rewards?

[Answer: The rewards for this summons will be additionally increased.]

Understood.

Thus far, there are two distinct branches in the world-saving task.

First, take the acquired Raw Stones to suppress the black tide, temporarily eliminating the world crisis. But there will definitely be a new crisis with the Moros World later.

Second, continue to investigate the Three Great Empires, search for the truth behind, thoroughly solve the problem; this way should earn more rewards and a higher task completion rate.

Is there even a choice?

Ye Mingqiu raised his gaze again, looking at Gares in front of him, and said, "Take out your Treasure and all your savings."

"Okay, okay."

Gares nodded rapidly, while lightly asking, "If I take out the Treasure..."

"Screech!"

The Blood Spear arced again, followed by a heart-wrenching scream that echoed in the room.

The Tyrant looked down at him, showing a cruel and displeased look, saying, "When did I give you the right to talk nonsense? Don’t overestimate yourself."

"Hah... hah..."

Cold sweat poured from Gares’ pain as he let out hot breaths, eyes fixed on the Tyrant, bloodshot edged eyes gritting teeth threatening, "If I’m going to die anyway, I won’t hand over the Treasure willingly."

"Modus, heal him."

Ye Mingqiu raised his hand and said.

Soon, Modus walked forward, looking at Gares with utter disgust, reluctantly raised his hand, and released the Healing light.

Feeling the warmth on his body, Gares’ mentality gradually improved. He felt his threat had indeed had some effect. As long as he indicated his bottom line appropriately and utilized it, he might be able to reach a negotiation.

Then...

Once Gares’ severed limbs were reattached, the Blood Erosion Tyrant spoke again, coldly saying, "Cut off his five limbs, then heal him after a minute. If he refuses to speak, next time cut them segment by segment, then reattach them."
