Chapter 426: The Power of Deception
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
The space of the plane had shattered, and there were other planes that were connected to it.
“Alright.” Xu Yuan decided to cooperate because the god was being sincere.
“I need you, Your Highness, to help me hide the Rotten Blood Sphere so that outsiders can’t find out about the Death Swamp. At the same time, this space needs to quietly devour the power of other space.”
“No problem. Leave it to me,” said Xu Yuan.
It was a pity that the God of Deception and Lies could not be subdued easily. Otherwise, things would be much easier.
“Do you need me to find a body for you to stay in temporarily?” asked Xu Yuan, looking at the translucent god.
“There’s no need for that for now. 1 want to personally forge my divine body. My previous body can’t accommodate a new soul.”
The God of Deception and Lies sounded determined. It was clear that he had some ideas to create a new body.
Su Wan’s job was to cooperate and protect the god while he recovered his strength. She needed to protect him, especially from the Spider Queen.
In return, the god would work for her.
It was impossible to subdue and recruit a god. Su Wan wasn’t that strong.
She couldn’t rely on Xu Yuan to do that, either. They were all ancient gods. They were afraid of the Dark Demon Dragon.
If it wasn’t for the fact that they had rescued the God of Deception and Lies from the clutches of the Spider Queen, the ancient god wouldn’t have agreed to cooperate with them at all.
The gods were strange and unpredictable. No matter how difficult a position they were in, ordinary people couldn’t hope to match up to them.
Without hesitation, they led the God of Deception and Lies through the spatial rift to the Death Swamp.
When Eliza saw the God of Lies, she felt a suffocating power envelop her. Even though the god had lost his body, his power still surpassed everything in sight.
Leona didn’t trust him. She didn’t trust this whole agreement, but she had faith in Su Wan. She’d follow Su Wan’s decision with all her heart.
The God of Deception and Lies was indifferent to Leona. He had no interest in heroes.
He looked at the battle. His gaze lingered on the corpses that were gradually sinking into the rotten swamp.
“The integration of the plane’s will with this land is truly extraordinary.”
He expressed his amazement. Even gods couldn’t achieve such a feat.
“Can’t you do the same?” Su Wan asked curiously.
“To integrate the plane’s will into the land, one needs a deep understanding of the rules of life. I cannot do that.” The God of Lies shook his head.
Although the gods had some exposure to the rules of life, only a few could reach such a level.
“Rules of life? Isn’t that the power of the Goddess of Creation?” Su Wan was curious.
“Yes, but the Goddess of Creation is missing, so the rules are open to all gods, and they can access them,” he said with a hint of regret in his tone.
Not many gods knew about this because they were all scattered. However, it wasn’t as surprising when Su Wan considered the origin of the Dwarf God.
The short and majestic existence had stepped into the River of Fate.
“Help me conceal the aura of the rotten swamp,” he said.
He possessed the powerful ability to conceal himself, but it only worked on himself and the nearby army. It was almost impossible to hide both the rotten swamp and the spatial rifts at the back.
Even if it were possible, he couldn’t stay here indefinitely.
The God of Lies gazed towards the central area.
The Rotten Blood Sphere hidden by Su Wan underground was completely exposed to him.
“Now, don’t let anyone disturb me.” The God of Lies slowly closed his eyes, and a light and ethereal energy surged around him, flowing outwards.
Wherever it passed, space immediately underwent imperceptible, subtle changes.
It spread over the rotten swamp, causing the faint mist to distort. The closer it got to the central area, the greater the changes were.
The scene that unfolded surprised Su Wan.
The armies engaged in battle within the corrupt swamp began unconsciously avoiding the central area. It was as if an invisible wall blocked their path.
Subsequently, a thin mist surged forth, obscuring the recently opened spatial rifts in the underground world.
The entire process was surprisingly brief. In less than ten minutes, the God of Lies opened his eyes again. He had covered the entire area.
Unless a demigod-level creature appeared, it would be impossible for anyone else to detect that the decaying swamp was a living land.
“I’ve also concealed the Space Gate,” said the God of Lies.
“Why can I still clearly sense their presence?” Su Wan looked at the two areas. Her eyebrows were slightly furrowed.
“Because you’re their Lord. To hide it from you, I’ll need to use a hundred times more divine power than I used right now.” The God of Lies laughed.
Using deceptive divine power, he merged the core of this active land with the swamp, making the life energy indistinguishable.
When others approached this area, their subconscious would instinctively ignore and avoid it. Even extraordinary heroes weren’t immune to the effect.
With the life signs concealed, no one would deliberately attack the swamp. The spatial rift used the same method.
He allowed the spatial rift to fuse into the swamp and used the aura to cover the loss of spatial power.
“Although I’ve lost most of my power when it comes to deceitfully concealing domains, there are very few gods who can compare to me,” said the God of Lies proudly.
Su Wan nodded in approval.
To be able to thrive even when his own followers had abandoned him, he must be powerful! He had stayed alive till now, after all.
“Leona, enter and see if you can still perceive the aura of the swamp,” said Su Wan. Her gaze turned to the silver-haired, silver-eyed Vampire Duke.
Leona flapped her bat wings and flew over.
Although the mist on the swamp greatly affected his vision and perception, Su Wan’s movement wasn’t restricted in the swamp.
Leona flew into the swamp and quickly headed toward the center. However, there were times when she flew in an arc and ended back at square one. She was unable to get within a hundred meters of the Rotten Blood Sphere..
