Chapter 128: Is Human or Ghost, Both Are Showing Off

It's Azathoth, the Blind Idiot God.

"No! They're going after the four Epic Wizards! Stop them!"

The surrounding witches were dumbfounded.

Qiumingshan Chesu and his companions dashed forward, unable to contain their excitement. "Brother Long Ji, your predictions are spot on! They really did start fighting among themselves. If we just follow behind, we might have a chance to rescue someone. Our combined strength truly is unbeatable!"

Long Ji nodded, but secretly watched Qiumingshan Chesu's characteristic foolish laugh, his heart sinking slightly.

He had no real intention of truly cooperating. After all, these idiotic players had different intentions from his and were too troublesome. The only true path was to control things himself, plundering their strength to empower himself, so he wouldn't be too weak and could even contend with others.

However, those four individuals were also a bit tricky. Although they had lost their bodies, they were still four Level 6 legendary wizards. While he still had this backup evil god body, he could certainly take them down, but it would cost him some combat power.

"Use them to draw fire, then, when they're off guard, the moment we rescue Aier'min, that's our chance to attack them!"

Footsteps pounded!

The four players sprinted forward, slightly opening a Spatial Magic Box to collect the three unconscious individuals and Cersi's soul.

"Now!"

Long Ji's eyes flashed as he suddenly attacked the four individuals beside him.

"Bang!"

Suddenly, a massive hand struck, sending Long Ji himself flying backward.

Long Ji's mind went completely blank.

Rumble!

The ground trembled.

Ah ha ha ha ha!

At the same time, maniacal laughter erupted as a new giant of light rose to its feet.

"Surprised? Didn't see that coming?" Qiumingshan Chesu cackled, looking at the thrown Long Ji. "Looks like we both had the same idea—to ambush each other in that exact moment. My acting was pretty good, wasn't it? I tricked him into believing our Church of Light had no backup bodies at all!"

The speed of Qiumingshan Chesu's betrayal left Long Ji speechless for a moment. He slowly stood up, exhaled a cloud of stale air, and cursed, "Damn it, I thought he was just an idiot! I never imagined he could be so cunning and even feign death."

Not only was Yamada feigning death, but it turned out all four of them were feigning death as well. How incredibly sly!

In reality, everyone had been in this game for over a hundred years. To have survived this long, who among them wasn't two-faced? Both sides clearly understood that while teaming up was the best option, many things couldn't be idealized to the point of unconditionally trusting others with one's back. What if the other party intended to kill them? There was no trust whatsoever. Since the other party couldn't be trusted, it was better to strike first and ambush them—that was the best approach.

"That kid is truly shameless," Long Ji said, his expression odd. "Ji Gonghao Yi Pai Daxing and Xue Zhongsong Tan Song Zhongji were just pretending to be simpletons with me, acting all righteous, and then they slapped me in the face the next moment!" Those four little scoundrels!

He wasn't bad in that instant either; they ambushed each other, and neither side gained an advantage.

"Attack!"

Long Ji's expression suddenly hardened, and he turned to grab the Epic Wizards on the ground.

"Old sly fox," Xue Baixue and the others cursed, then started snatching the four individuals on the ground.

In an instant, both sides scrambled for the nearest targets. Qiumingshan Chesu and his group snatched Charlotte and Aier'min. Meanwhile, Long Ji grabbed Emery and Cersi.

Further away, the four Cthulhu Evil Gods, embroiled in their own infighting, watched this scene with extreme rage. "Those two little insects actually tried to snatch people while we were fighting amongst ourselves! Everyone, this is not the time for internal strife. Let's deal with them first."

"Good!"

"It truly is the best choice."

"Everyone, let go of your hidden agendas."

The four instantly replied with cold voices. The next second, terrifying auras surged forth as they joined forces once more. The next second, they fiercely struck their own bodies again.

"Hahahaha!" Bell laughed wildly. "Good thing I dodged quickly! You sly ones, are you still putting on a show?"

Everyone had already unleashed their true fury. They all knew the best method now was to eliminate the lingering trouble, to get rid of those two little insects... but they couldn't resist ambushing each other. After all, the Cthulhu Evil Gods represented the strongest power in this world. What did it matter if they let them escape? If they wanted to, they could always play hide-and-seek and capture them again. But by eliminating the others now, they could truly control this power.

On the other side, deep in the mountains.

After a desperate sprint, everyone hid in the woods, panting and exchanging glances, their faces showing immense excitement. The rescue was a success. Pulling off a stunt and then escaping—could anything be more thrilling?

Qiumingshan Chesu felt incredibly exhilarated, panting heavily. "Damn, those old schemers were all playing me! Good thing we had a trick up our sleeve too."

"Good acting," Xue Baixue chuckled.

"666! Golden Horse Award of the Year!" Zai Ke Duoshou was delighted.

They immediately released the two from the Spatial Magic Box: Charlotte and Emperor Aier'min, both covered in blood and completely unconscious.

"These are two Epic-level individuals... Aier'min, our idol no less."

"We saved the world! Although they're severely injured, a few months of recovery should bring Aier'min back to life."

After many years, they smiled. They had finally met their idol, Aier'min, and truly helped her. To say they weren't excited would be a lie.

But then, the blade of the Pandora Demon Sword suddenly stood upright, blocking the unconscious duo, and exclaimed in alarm, "Charlotte, Aier'min, wake up! We've fallen into the hands of evil gods!"

A demon sword?

Pandora?

The group exchanged glances. They had all heard of this legendary alchemical demon sword. Charlotte was indeed a genius, capable of creating "alchemical life forms." It was said to be Charlotte's powerful alchemical creation, allowing the sword to cultivate and develop its own consciousness. The Spatial Magic Box, developed over the years, was naturally something they had heard of and were all using.

"If you want to kill them, you'll have to step over my corpse." The sword, blocking the two, said in a panic, "Charlotte, Aier'min, wake up! We've been captured by evil gods!"

"Don't worry," Qiumingshan Chesu quickly reassured it. "We're not bad people. Evil gods are vast, chaotic consciousnesses that naturally contain both good and evil. We are the good part, otherwise we wouldn't have rescued you."

"Really?"

The Pandora Demon Sword stood in front of the two, its voice innocent.

"Of course it's true," Xue Baixue said with a gentle smile.

The people of this otherworldly realm were still so innocent. They looked at the demon sword, so loyal to its master, staunchly blocking in front of its owners and not attempting to flee. It was truly admirable.

However, the sword secretly sighed, "The good side of evil gods? You old schemers, you're making my scalp tingle as a native of this otherworld."
