Main Volume Chapter 163: Make a foolproof trap?
However, changing one's destiny is one thing, but why did the Ocean Goddess change her plan at the last minute?
Wouldn't it be more in her interest to continue with her old ways, sacrificing her followers and Ajid, and then killing her own kind?
unless……
I can kill those Outer Gods for her...
Zhang Yun touched his chin, thought about it, and found that it seemed to be the case.
These outer gods were afraid that the inheritors would rise up and take their place, so they wanted to kill the inheritors.
But I am a special existence that is not restricted by the Heart of the World. No matter how they take away the Heart of the World or destroy the Heart of the World, they cannot prevent my inheritance level from increasing.
In other words, as long as I am allowed to rise, one day I will surpass those foreign gods and pull them down from their current altars.
It won't be discovered yet.
As long as the goddess of the sea keeps covering for me.
The inheritor of this world alone must return the heart of the world to its place. The other observing gods will know about this. In order to disguise her identity as a "loyalist", the goddess of the sea must also inform the foreign gods who are not here.
By then, as soon as those guys know about this, they will definitely try their best to stop it, and send down their original bodies to fight with the inheritors for three hundred rounds.
In the end, it is impossible to say who will win and who will lose... But it feels like the foreign gods that control multiple worlds are stronger. After all, they have been through many battles and have time to accumulate experience. The probability of them winning is definitely higher than the probability of a successful revolution by the inheritors of this world.
Thinking about it a little more, the Ocean Goddess chose to put down the "fire" and retreat, disassociating herself from the whole thing. I think it was not for the purpose of overthrowing the rule of the foreign gods in one fell swoop.
Instead, they use the inheritors' revolution in this world to select friends of their own kind who share the same consensus as them, or cause great unrest, and then spread the "sparks" of revolution in more manipulated worlds, waiting for more awakenings to break out in the future.
Otherwise, she could just join the inheritors of this world, openly announce her rebellion, and let the outer gods who share the same ideals as her join her. Wouldn't the success rate be higher this way?
Why bother to specially arrange the two pawns, the "villain" Edward and the "good guy" Kuula?
Being undercover?
Provide support in secret?
Even if she wanted to be an undercover agent for the inheritors and secretly help them, there was no need for that. After all, the whole thing started with her initial "negligence", and the source of the inheritors' rise also came from her.
If problems continue to arise, and the inheritor is fully aware of the information and subordinates of the outer gods and is able to defeat them all the way, then the outer gods will suspect her first and then lock her up for interrogation.
Unless those Outer Gods are not very smart...
There is no doubt about this...
There is no need to even wait for the follow-up. As long as other Outer Gods become a little more suspicious, after the Heart of the World is taken away by the Inheritor, all the Outer Gods who are observing this world will be thrown into jail immediately, and their communication with the outside world will be cut off. Wouldn't this completely prevent "traitors" from sneaking in?
Anyway, if Zhang Yun was the leader of the Outer Gods, he would definitely be the first to suspect that there was something wrong with this group of observers, then control them, and then gather strength to attack those inheritors who were going to cause trouble...
At this time, Zhang Yun was conducting an in-depth analysis, and Lucina and others had emptied the entire Ajid branch of alchemical tools and also looted several blueprints for making alchemical tools.
Unfortunately, the blueprints for the most valuable "explosive ball" and "magic musket" are missing. Instead, all of them are formulas for making potions with side effects, or some daily gadgets that improve the quality of life.
Kuula came to Zhang Yun and said coldly: "Now that we have finished searching, Her Majesty Lucina asked me to come and ask you what to do next. Should we search the area for the whereabouts of the Ancient Evil God's clone?"
Zhang Yun came back to her senses: "Hmm? Is it over?"
He asked, "Have you found the blueprints for the explosive ball and the magic musket?"
Kuura shook her head: "No."
"Uh... is that so?" Zhang Yun touched his nose, wanting to speak out what he had just analyzed in his mind and discuss with Kuula whether the thousands-year-old woman god thought so.
But he changed his mind and felt that he didn't need to rush to find out the reason behind this matter. He should first slowly follow the clues to explore the details, and wait until the time is right to make it clear and question Edward and the sea goddess standing behind him.
After all, the Outer Gods are now kept in the dark and will not affect this world. The Goddess of the Sea can be considered a half-ally, and the biggest threat, Akito, is still in front of them.
If I speak out about this now, it will easily affect the morale and loyalty of the team, and I might even have to break up with the Ocean Goddess, and then the loss will outweigh the gain.
And if this guess is true, the whole thing was planned by the Ocean Goddess, and everyone is a pawn in her plan. I was also used by her and became a deadly machete hanging over the head of the Outer God...
to be honest.
It doesn't matter.
Just a small problem.
After all, the goddess of the sea was using him, so wasn't he also using her?
If there were no protection from the Sea Goddess, given the mysterious appearance of those foreign gods and their love of killing inheritors, their fighting power would definitely be higher than that of the Ancient Evil God. If I fight them head-on, I will definitely be beaten and run away, and I will not have the time or opportunity to develop.
In another situation, if I knew about the Ocean Goddess's plan for revolution first, and the Ocean Goddess didn't know that I was a time traveler who had been resurrected countless times, I would probably take the initiative to find her and reach the current cooperation...
So Zhang Yun threw away all the thoughts in her mind, turned to look at the tied up Hanyu Miriko, and asked: "Hanyu Miriko, they told me that they didn't find the blueprints of the explosive ball and the magic musket. Do you know where they are?"
Miriko Hanyu said, "I know, but I can only give you the blueprints for the magic musket first. I won't tell you the blueprints for the explosive ball for now. When you fulfill your promise and let me go, I'll send someone to give it to you."
"You don't have to worry that I'll regret it."
"Now that Ajid knows that I betrayed them, they will definitely not tolerate me. If I want to survive, I can only help you defeat Ajid."
"But I value my life very much, so I will not directly participate in this war. Instead, I will go to Fantakinia, get more alchemical drawings, send them across the North Ocean, and finally hand them over to you..."
Zhang Yun said without hesitation: "That's fine."
He reached out his hand, took away all the Savilla steel and special ropes that restrained Hanyu Miriko, threw them into his backpack, and waved his hand and said, "We are going to the imperial capital of the Great Xia Dynasty now. You can send someone to deliver the blueprints. Remember to have your people stand at the city gate. I will find him."
"There's nothing else to do, just go on your own!"
After hearing this, Hanyu Miriko was stunned and didn't react: "Let me go?"
ah?
Just let me go like this?
She thought that Zhang Yun would tie her up for ten days or half a month, or at least kill the clone of the Ancient Evil God, before letting her go. Moreover, she would have to put some restrictions on her before she left, to prevent her from breaking her promise and not giving her the blueprints later.
In the end, they were just released without doing anything?
Miriko Hanyu frowned. "Aren't you afraid that I will go back on my word? Not give you the blueprints and other alchemical tools, and then rejoin Agito and continue to fight you?"
Zhang Yun scratched his ears and said, "It's okay. These blueprints are quite ordinary. It doesn't matter if you don't give them to me. As for the ones that are really useful, such as magic cannons and magic airships... I don't think you can get them, right? If you could get them, you would have used them before. There's no need to hide them."
"As for you rejoining Agito?"
"It's up to you. Anyway, I promised you this time that I'll let you go, but if I see you again next time, I won't let you go."
"For specifics... let's take the guy who died tragically next to you as a reference!"
After saying that, Hanyu Miriko looked at a member of Ajid who was hacked to death by Brother Zun beside her. A trace of fear flashed in her eyes. She pursed her lips involuntarily, and her slender arms trembled slightly.
Not long after, she regained her composure and said calmly, "Haha, Mr. Zhang Yun is really confident! But don't worry, I won't break my promise. I will give you all the drawings. You just need to wait in the capital of Daxia."
"However, I hope Mr. Zhang Yun will consider carefully the clone of Ajid's follower and not meet it for the time being."
"Its power..."
"Even if all of you are inheritors, we are no match for it. Only by relying on the power of the kingdom and Daxia, using a sufficient number of elite professionals, and relying on countless sacrifices, can we repel it."
Well?
Sufficient quantity?
Is this thing an epic meat shield?
Does it need to be worn down bit by bit by a large crowd of people?
Although she was worried, she couldn't lose face, so Zhang Yun waved her hand and said, "Don't worry about that. I know very well how powerful the clones of your Ancient Evil God of Ajid are, and I also know how to defeat them."
"It would be best if that guy is willing to hide. Don't cause any trouble and be quiet."
"If it wants to jump out, I don't mind spending some time to break it up and give it a small gift to its original body in the ancient battlefield."
Miriko Hanyu sighed, "Well, fine, I won't persuade you any further. When you encounter the clones of those monsters, you will know exactly how terrifying their power is!"
"Then I'll leave first."
"See you later."
After saying this, Miriko Hanyu activated the power of Ajid in her body and transformed into a monster four or five meters tall. With long wings growing from her back, she flew out of Ajid's branch and disappeared into the dense forest in the distance.
Kuula, who was standing nearby, didn't understand what the Rising Sun Country said. She didn't know what Zhang Yun and Kuula had just said, but she knew that this guy actually let the guy who obtained the power of Ajid go without hesitation!
You bastard, why don't you ask for our opinion?
Her Majesty Lucina's opinion?
hateful!
She asked, "What are you doing? Just letting her go? Aren't you afraid that she will tip off the police?"
Zhang Yun rolled her eyes at Kuula and said, "Hey! What are you talking about? You have stolen more than a dozen bases from others. Do you think they are stupid? I don't know what you want to do in the Great Xia Dynasty?"
"I guess these guys have already ambushed the Great Xia Dynasty."
"No matter which route we take or how far we go, we will eventually face their ambush. There is no way to escape it."
Kuula frowned and said, "You can't just release it!?"
Zhang Yun waved her hand indifferently and said, "Don't worry, she won't affect us. On the contrary, she will lend us a helping hand and bring us some key props that can turn the tide of the battle."
"Just talking about the explosive balls, if we meet Ajith on the battlefield in the future, we should start by sweeping a circle of magic to break their magic shields, and then shoot thousands of explosive balls at them, instead of blowing them up directly?"
"Not to mention this magic musket, which can directly turn unemployed civilians into a considerable fighting force, covering us from the side and attacking enemy soldiers from a distance."
"These things are much more valuable than her life."
More importantly, the map just showed that this traitorous elder sister of Ajid had completely figured it out and turned green, representing "friendly forces". Killing her directly would be a waste of talent...
Kuula continued to question: "Yes, these things are valuable, but can you guarantee that she will hand over the blueprints instead of taking the opportunity to escape?"
Zhang Yun patted Kuula's shoulder, straightened the wrinkles on her clothes that she accidentally made during the battle, and then said, "Big sister, please protect our Holy King and complete your duties. Don't think about or worry about other things."
"I won't cheat you here."
"Ah there is Ouk?"
Kuula turned his head away indifferently: "Humph!"
At this time, Lucina came over. She didn't dwell on why Zhang Yun suddenly let Hanyu Miriko go. Instead, she asked, "Zhang Yun, have you made up your mind? Do you want to check nearby? The whereabouts of the Ancient Evil God's clone?"
"Lily just said that there is a special smell here, different from ordinary Ajid members, but you can tell it comes from Ajid."
"I suspect it's the smell of that clone."
Zhang Yun raised her head: "Oh? A special smell? That should be the Ancient Evil God's clone!"
Zhang Yun was very confident about the Deep Sea Emperor's sense of smell. After all, it could smell the scent of Batya's shadow even though it was so far away in the ocean. Now that a stronger clone has appeared, it will definitely be able to smell it out instantly.
However, after raiding so many Ajid branches before, they couldn’t smell the scent of the Ancient Evil God’s clone, but when they came to this last base, they smelled it?
Is this the only place it has been?
Or was it "born" here from the beginning, but it just didn't intend to care about us who were in the Rising Sun Kingdom and went directly to the heart of the Great Xia Dynasty?
Well……
A bit weird...
Obviously, seizing the "master key" is the highest priority task, which can directly release the body of the ancient evil god. There is no reason for it to ignore this goal and go and do something messy, right?
Unless there is something on the Daxia Dynasty side that is more important than Lucina’s “master key”.
or……
This guy had no intention of letting us escape. He was just preparing in advance and making a trap that was strong enough for us to step into before destroying us with his lightning speed.
Just like what Miriko Hanyu and that ancient evil toad did, they set up an illusion array in advance and did the trick on us without anyone noticing.
These killed Agito members were sacrificed to buy time. Their lives were sacrificed in exchange for a trap that would definitely capture Lucina.
Um……
Judging from the way Akito likes to arrange four or five backup plans before doing things...
The second possibility is more likely...
