Chapter 677 – Orochi and Nuwa
In the end, Adam, Fu Daotian, Fuxi, Nuwa, and elves from the Eden Garden Planets went out together.
Everybody's expression was dark. They didn't like how Miaomiao treated them as baits. However, the sages didn't say anything other than accompanying them to the medium realm.
Adam sighed and gazed at Nuwa, "Is joining Mu-Nyang's side the right decision?"
Nuwa nodded, "It is necessary. We can't serve Hongjun and Pangu, or everybody that we know will be erased. Mu-Nyang is the only salvation."
"Then, do we have to really work for Miaomiao?"
"I don't like him, too, but Miaomiao is the one that Pangu tried to raise as Heavenly Dao's Protector. Now that Mu-Nyang poached him from Pangu, he might be the key to solving this deadlock and the endless war between Mu-Nyang and Pangu," Fuxi massaged his temples. He clicked his tongue in frustration.
Adam still complained, "From what I have seen so far, Miaomiao has changed. He was stupid and na?ve, but he was always honest and grateful to his benefactors. But now, he's…"
Nuwa patted Adam's back, "His accumulating stress makes him this way. Don't mind his current behavior. Just think of him as a teenager in puberty."
"…"
"So far, he has been pushed around by the seniors around him. He was only a mortal a few months ago, but he is now at the center of the war between Creators. What kind of burden do you think he has been carrying on his back? What kind of stressful life he had been through? You need to account for everything to understand how he feels about the world and this universe."
Adam sighed. He understood Nuwa's point.
Fuxi added, "It's also because of the doomsday promises. Without Pangu and Mu-Nyang's war going on, Miaomiao might have chosen a benevolent method to manage his underlings and friends. But now, everything doesn't matter anymore. The entire universe has gone to shit. If I were him, I would have treated other representatives like he did as well."
Miaomiao might have had enough of all the farces that the sages, Devil, Lilith, and Adam had put him through. Now that Miaomiao had enough power and a method to face Great Dao Sages, he began abusing his authority.
Adam was worried. As things progressed, Miaomiao might abandon them in the future.
"Can Miaomiao still be trustworthy?"
"Trustworthy or not, he protects his wives and the cats, right?"
"So?"
"He hasn't given up on humanity. He still has a bit of guilty conscience left in him. Don't give up on him yet. Let's wait and see."
"…"
Adam nodded as he chose to believe in Fuxi and Nuwa. He led his vessels and chess pieces, heading closer to one of the Orochi's clones.
Orochi
The Dragon God that everybody respected and feared was now a potential foe!
Even though a clone's strength was capped at the pseudo sage realm, its combined force of eight heads was enough to challenge a sage.
Adam sweated profusely, staring at one of them.
But before Adam made his move, Nuwa hovered in front of him, facing the 8-head dragon.
BOOM
BOOM
BOOM
Before Adam could react, the Orochi's clone already activated his eight Providence Domains and restricted his movements.
Fortunately, Nuwa stood before him, blocking all fatal attacks from the eight heads with one hand.
While Nuwa was tanking the damage, Fuxi teleported to the center of the Orochi's den. He froze time like how Miaomiao used his stopwatch clock.
All clones stopped in their tracks, except for the real body of Orochi.
The clones suddenly shrank and were sucked into Fuxi's sleeves. Just like that, he had captured all Orochi's clones!
In the end, pseudo sages were still pseudo sages, regardless of whoever it was. Sages had more tricks to dominate non-entities like former Orochi.
But the real body of Orochi had been upgraded. He had transformed into a chest-naked handsome man with purple skin and long golden hair. Orochi wore saggy cotton pants and bronze pointy shoes, which didn't look comfortable. However, he walked as if his clothes didn't hinder his movements.
Fuxi couldn't collect this man.
Orochi glared at Fuxi and complained, "A sage shouldn't be bullying pseudo sages. Your opponent is me!"
Suddenly, Orochi vanished and appeared behind Fuxi. His palm strike hit the back of the sage.
Fuxi was unharmed. A shiny layer of array formation, which had been floating a centimeter over Fuxi's back, blocked the palm strike.
Fuxi sneered, "All your clones are mine!"
"You're overestimating yourself, sage."
Orochi bellowed. His hand distorted and transformed into a dragon's head. It opened its jaw and tried to swallow Fuxi whole.
But Fuxi teleported away. He reappeared in front of Chaos Realm Faction's portal.
Fuxi sneered at Orochi while he continued to maintain the time domain. Then, he rushed back to the Chaos Realm Faction's headquarters plane to proceed with his plan.
Orochi paused and glanced at Nuwa, Adam, and weak deities behind them, who couldn't move under Fuxi and Orochi's time domains. His sight fixated on Nuwa for a while before he lightly scoffed.
Nuwa suddenly moved. She collected all frozen deities and pseudo sages into her dantian universe before the invisible gravity force reached them.
BOOM
The ground around Nuwa suddenly sank 100 meters. She suffered from a direct hit of the gravity attack, and she was pressed to the sunken ground. Fortunately, all deities and pseudo sages were safe.
Orochi reappeared next to her. He stomped on her head, pressing her against the ground.
"I've seen you somewhere before. Oh, right. I remember you. You must be Nuwa, the goddess of elves, yes?"
"…"
Nuwa didn't reply. She took a deep breath, slowly recovering from her injuries.
Orochi sensed the fluctuation in Nuwa's body. He grabbed her head and pressed several acupuncture points of Nuwa, blocking her dantian and power.
"I see that you're smart, so I'm giving you a chance. To be honest, I don't care about my clones. But I want to know what is happening here, and what you all have been doing. Explain everything to me, and I'll let you live!"
Nuwa looked surprised. She stopped gathering Connate Qi.
"I'll tell you everything. But first, please do not harm me and the others inside my dantian."
"I'm a fair guy. As long as you cooperate, I'll keep my promise."
"Good. Well, it might be faster if I show my memory to you."
"Don't add anything useless. I cultivate negative karma, and I can read your karma memory!"
"Ha! You sounded like Mao Miaomiao when he was overly relying on his karma skills."
"…"
Nuwa's index finger touched his forehead. The latter closed his eyes and skimmed through the memory of Nuwa.
A few seconds later, he opened his eyes and glared at her.
"You sages are disgusting! How could you do this to your vessels and mortals!?"
