Chapter 369: Avoid

Chapter 369 - Avoid

In the darkness.

A strong light shone down.

The God of Night barely managed to open his eyes, only to find that he was tightly tied to a chair. Ropes that exuded Occultism power had bound his hands and feet, making it impossible for him to move.

His eyes showed a hint of fear, followed by confusion.

"The Dark Deity?"

The God of Night called out.

His voice spread far and wide in the empty and abandoned high-rise, but there was no response.

There seems to be no one around.

Strange ...

The Dark Deity was a law enforcer, yet she lured me into a trap and forced me into a situation where I would definitely be punished.

Yet she didn't kill me.

Why did she tie me up here?

The God of Night struggled for a few breaths' worth of time, but found that he couldn't escape from the ropes on his body, so he couldn't help but shout:

"Dark Deity! What exactly do you want!? "

A howling wind blew through the broken window.

At the very next moment.

A feminine male voice came: "Don't misunderstand, I'm not the Dark Deity"

The God of Night was surprised.

The void of space opened as a man holding a black umbrella walked out.

This man's upper body was bare, revealing numerous black Occultism runes. A pair of wide-brimmed sunglasses covered his eyes, making it impossible to see his expression.

"You are" the God of Night asked.

"I've been searching for this seal for a very long time. I originally thought that I would only be able to find it after destroying the world above, but a kind person brought me here" the umbrella holder smiled.

"You came from outside!"

The God of Night blankly exclaimed. "That's impossible, the Law created by all Occultism life forms should have erased you, how did you manage to survive until now?"

The umbrella holder smiled: "Perhaps I'm the main creator of that Law"

"Ahahaha! You? Creator? How arrogant! "the God of Night laughed.

After laughing for a while, he quickly realized something.

I'm still tied up, so it's not a good idea to become enemies with him.

At this point, the umbrella holder spoke again:

"Last night, something major happened in Endless City"

"What is it?" the God of Night asked.

"A human with Occultism talent disappeared. She should have died as nutrients, but she completely disappeared from the seal"

"Along with her, the law enforcer, the Dark Deity also disappeared"

"And you are the last person to see the Dark Deity."

After the umbrella holder finished speaking, he quietly looked at the God of Night.

The God of Night couldn't help but shudder, and he hurriedly said, "Wait a minute, I had just fought with the Southern Cross Star God and suffered heavy injuries. The Goddess of Darkness had also sealed my Occult Power, and in the end, I think she knocked me out in front of everyone."

The umbrella-bearer interrupted him, "You want to say that you don't know anything, right?"

"Yes, everyone saw it" the God of Night said.

The person holding the umbrella thought for a moment, then said slowly,

"... I know of many Occultism techniques that can allow another entity to impersonate you."

"That's impossible!" the God of Night immediately said. "The strange laws that I have mastered cannot be mastered by others. This is the uniqueness of the laws. They are very proud and will never bow down to others."

The umbrella-bearer sighed and shook his head. "Have you ever thought ... that the Laws are only arrogant towards you?"

"This is common knowledge," the God of Night retorted.

Just as he was about to continue, he suddenly shut his mouth tightly.

Behind the umbrella bearer, layers of dark fog emerged, giving off an ominous feeling.

A second later.

The black fog scattered.

Lumps of flesh appeared on the umbrella bearer's back one after another.

These lumps of flesh began to wriggle, quickly turning into humanoid entities of various shapes and sizes.

These people seemed to have grown out of the umbrella bearer's body as they all looked at the God of Night.

The God of Night opened his mouth wide and exclaimed: "Midnight Deity, Poison Deity, Curse Deity, what did you do to them?"

The three Deities all looked at him.

One of them spoke up: "There is a possibility"

"What possibility?" the second followed up.

"The Goddess of Darkness took that Occultism soul for herself, then killed this coward and impersonated him to avoid being discovered by us" the third explained.

Three people grew out of a single person's back, and they were even discussing the situation in front of them.

This scene was indescribably eerie, causing the God of Night's fear to grow stronger and stronger.

The umbrella-bearer put his hand on his shoulder and softly asked: "Did you hear that? Now, please explain. Perhaps you can provide me with more clues. "

Cold sweat was dripping down the God of Night's face.

He struggled to speak: "This is a world where the strong preys on the weak, who kills who, who eats who, is a very normal thing, just like you. I don't understand why you care about this."

"It's not the same."

The umbrella-bearer patiently explained: "The Goddess of Darkness managed to hide from the Laws I created in the past and took away a soul, this is a huge matter."

"Please release me, sir, I'll accompany you" the God of Night said.

"But as the three of them said, what if you are the Goddess of Darkness?" the umbrella-bearer asked.

It was quiet all around.

The God of Night gritted his teeth: "Please release me, I will find a way to prove my identity and dispel your suspicions"

The umbrella-bearer put the black umbrella away and muttered: "That's too troublesome. I'm a person who hates troublesome things."

He leaned down and silently looked at the God of Night.

At the very next moment.

Boundless dark fog emerged from his back and turned into black bugs out of thin air, covering the entire abandoned floor.

The God of Night's expression changed, as if recalling something, he suddenly let out a high-pitched scream.

Doong!

A dull thud.

He was struggling so hard that he fell down along with his chair.

But he didn't dare to waste even a second and begged while lying on the ground:

"Please forgive me! Please forgive me! Let me be your servant, I beg you! "

The person stood there silently.

Countless black bugs swarmed forward, instantly engulfing the God of Night.

The sound of gnawing could be heard in the silent building.

One breath.

Two breaths.

Three breaths.

All the black insects disappeared.

The God of Night stood up with a contemplative look on his face.

"It's not him" the God of Night spoke with a strange tone.

"How regretful" the umbrella-bearer regretfully said.

He opened the black umbrella again and spoke with waning interest: "Since the clues here are cut off, let's do something else ... since everything is going to be destroyed anyway"

"Yes"

Saying so, the God of Night turned into a mass of flesh and blood that fused into the umbrella-bearer's body.

The umbrella-bearer slowly walked out of the abandoned building.

...

At another location.

Endless City.

In a dark alleyway.

A black-clothed old man sat under a streetlight with his eyes closed, as if he was asleep.

Suddenly.

The sound of shouting and fighting could be heard from not too far away.

A few moments later, someone loudly called out: "Stop fighting, he's already dead!"

"He's really dead"

"Let's go!"

Under the streetlight, the black-clothed old man sat still, but his throat moved a bit.

Very quickly, 7-8 young men with terrified expressions ran out from the alleyway.

When they walked past the streetlight, they acted as if they couldn't see the old man at all and only ran forward as fast as they could.

Finally.

They all left the alleyway.

It was only now that the black-clothed old man opened his eyes and slowly stood up from the ground.

"A fresh soul, full of despair and sorrow, full of vitality."

The old man spoke with a satisfied tone and patted the dust off his pants.

He slowly walked into the alleyway.

Halfway there, he suddenly stopped.

"Darkness Deity, weren't you patrolling the city? Why did you come here? "The old man asked.

Liu Ping stood at the entrance of the alleyway and said with a smile: "I met with some trouble. Although the mediation was successful, after all, there was a mistake. I guessed that someone would want to take revenge on me, so I had to hide."

The old man revealed a gloating expression and said: "Yes, it's not that easy to mediate between the Gods."

"So I need your help. After all, I don't know many people" Liu Ping said.

"Me? Help you? "The old man stared at him and said:" The price for my help is very high. "

"Don't worry" Liu Ping said.

He flipped his hand and took out the 'Void World Battle Arena' card and threw it out lightly.

"I'm just borrowing your identity. I don't need you to attack anyone else."

Peng!

The card rang softly.

In an instant, the old man and Liu Ping disappeared from the alleyway at the same time.
