Chapter 29: 19 This is the love of Mother Gaia!

"Old man, drop those gold coins!"

Bang!

Le Cheng lifted his foot and kicked heavily on the Prison Director’s nasal bone. With a crisp sound, the collapse of the bridge of the nose was visible to the naked eye. However, he quickly felt an invisible force resisting, forcing him to retract his foot.

"The old man really does have a trump card."

At this point, Le Cheng had already activated his micro-operation, and with the doubling of strength and speed, plus the amplification of the ghost clothes, his power had been enhanced at least fourfold. Yet even so, he was still unable to inflict a fatal wound on the other side. On the contrary, the invisible protective force surrounding the Prison Director was becoming more and more apparent.

"Gibberish..."

The Prison Director cursed at Le Cheng, but unfortunately his face had already become something indescribable, and the sound coming from his mouth was like the whisper of an ancient god. Le Cheng could not make out what he was saying.

In the end, however, Le Cheng was able to understand his intention through a mixture of guessing and analyzing.

"So that’s it, you’ve been looking around because you’re waiting for reinforcements to hold me back so that you can bring out your last trump card, right?"

"Ah, if you’d just said so earlier. Preventing an opponent from using their full strength really doesn’t fit with my style. Okay, I’ll give you a chance; let me see your final trick."

Saying that, Le Cheng voluntarily stopped his attack and smiled as he stepped back three meters.

Huh?!

The Prison Director, with his eyes squinted to slits due to swollen facial muscles, suddenly showed immense confusion. On one hand, he was surprised by Le Cheng’s audacity; on the other hand, he suspected it might be a plot to make him lower his guard.

However, whether it was a scheme or not didn’t matter anymore because this three-meter distance gave him enough time to catch his breath.

After his body had recovered slightly, the Prison Director immediately took something out from behind him. It was wrapped in a white cloth, its shape indistinct, but as the cloth was lifted, even Le Cheng felt a hint of surprise.

It was a human head, one couldn’t tell if it belonged to a man or a woman just by its appearance; only its beauty seemed surreal, otherworldly. Pink pupils exuded a breathtaking mysterious charm, and suddenly Le Cheng felt that a strong will was assaulting his soul, tearing at his emotions, trying to make him succumb to this beauty...

Le Cheng squinted his eyes, scrutinizing the head closely.

[???]

That it could be identified by the Identification Eye meant this head was alive, but the observations of the Identification Eye couldn’t yield any information.

And in that instant, Le Cheng felt the gaze from the head.

Immediately, Le Cheng’s eyes showed a brief wavering and confusion.

"Ha ha, you looked, you looked. When you gaze at It, It gazes back at you. Pay the price for your foolishness and arrogance!"

The Prison Director laughed wildly, his facial swelling easing as he brought out the head, and he could finally speak normally. While speaking, that head’s mouth opened slightly, and a flesh-colored tongue shot out like lightning towards Le Cheng.

At the same moment, the power of the gaze weakened, and Le Cheng’s eyes quickly became firm again. But even he could no longer avoid this attack, barely managing to dodge to the side.

Then—

Pfft!

The flesh-colored tongue directly pierced his right shoulder, and with a severe tearing, the whole arm was connected by just a few strands of flesh, blood spilling profusely, the sharp pain causing his brow to raise.

"I thought it was something else, turns out your ace is just tattling to mommy."

During the moment he was gazed upon by the head, when his mind was in a daze, Le Cheng saw a vague figure, an existence that seemed like a pillar at the center of Chaos, with an extremely beautiful body, mysterious and fatally attractive, as if it held all the beauty and desire of this world...

The God of Slaanesh!

Of course, the head in the Prison Directors hands couldn’t possibly belong to the actual God of Slaanesh. It might be some poor imitation, or it could belong to someone else, but regardless, it contained the Divine Power of the God of Slaanesh.

So, when Le Cheng gazed at it, he was also observed by the God of Slaanesh.

This led to a brief wavering and haziness in his spirit.

Gods are not beings that can be seen by the naked eyes of mortals, whether they are gods of Order or Evil Gods of Chaos. Their very existence represents some supreme rule of the universe. Even being glimpsed from afar, the energy and messages released by them can impact the will of mortals – at the very least, causing madness, or at worst, overwhelming with information and causing the brain to explode.

Le Cheng had only experienced wavering and haziness because, firstly, his spiritual power had already surpassed human limitations; secondly, the God of Slaanesh he observed was not its true form.

Of course, Le Cheng’s will was ultimately disturbed by the divine, leading to a delayed reaction, which is why he was struck by that pink tongue, almost severing his right arm.

However, Le Cheng had no regrets.

Just a right arm, after all.

"Hmph, I’d like to see how long you can remain defiant!"

After Le Cheng’s right arm was injured, the Prison Director finally had the feeling of exultation, but Le Cheng’s attitude annoyed him deeply. To still show such an unhurried demeanor at such a time.

"Do you really think you have any room to resist in the face of His power?" the Prison Director mocked.

Le Cheng smiled faintly, "As a mortal, it’s no shame to lose to a god, and moreover... I haven’t lost yet."

"Is that so? Then witness His true power," the Prison Director said, raising the human head high, "Great God of Slaanesh, please bring punishment upon the unbeliever!"

Whoosh!

As the Prison Director’s words fell, a massive energy was drawn from his body, visibly aging him. Meanwhile, the human head he held began to slowly open its eyes.

The Prison Director glared hatefully at Le Cheng.

"You will regret this!"

He was merely a White Robed Bishop, not a Divine Chosen Son, and using the power of a god without permission prematurely aged his body by thirty years.

And when that head fully opened its eyes, Le Cheng felt an invisible force enveloping him, as if he was stuck in a quagmire, even his thoughts and will starting to be fragmented and slipping towards the abyss...

"It seems that with my current strength, it is indeed too early to look directly at a god. But... you don’t think you’re the only one who can call for a protector, do you?"

Daddy once said, to counter a god with another god!

Buzz!

Without hesitation, Le Cheng activated the Deputy Mark. Accompanied by a resonance from the depths of his soul, a sharp pain came from his left hand. Soon after, a milky white light radiated from the double moon mark on the back of his hand.

The Deputy Mark was not just a symbol of identity. More accurately, it was comparable to a command seal, serving as a way to communicate with the divinity behind the deputy without any cost.

Of course, there was one prerequisite to activate the Deputy Mark—the deputy faced a threat from a god!

Theoretically, gods would not intervene in battles between deputies or life-and-death crises deputies face in replicas. Only when a deputy encounters the power of other gods, whether actively or passively, it would be considered a grave offense.

Thus, as the Deputy Mark was activated, a vague silhouette appeared behind Le Cheng.

"I am Gaia."

The silhouette took the form of a girl with flowing long hair and a graceful figure, but her distant and hollow voice seemed to come from another world.

Then, the "girl" opened her arms, like the hands of a mother, gently embracing Le Cheng’s body.

In that instant, the negative influence brought by the God of Slaanesh was completely gone.

"Mother Gaia, you arrived just in time."

Le Cheng promptly began to curry favor. Even he did not expect that Gaia would personally intervene, sending down her projection—was this Mother Gaia’s love for him?
