Chapter 878 Volume 9 – Chapter 125: The Loners’ Temporary Alliance (Part 1)
After sending the white ball of light back to where it should have been, the Yan Wuyue World suddenly became turbulent!
The source was the scattered petals of the cherry blossom tree.
Countless petals were floating in the wind, like a massive rain of cherry blossoms in the entire Yan Wuyue world.
The petals fell to the ground and turned into seeds. At this moment, one giant tree after another rose suddenly among the city-states in the Yan Wuyue world. A large number of active tree roots emerged from the ground, swallowing one individual after another.
Feeling that the whole world was in a panic, Dazhe suddenly opened his eyes and tore off the key he was wearing.
A massive tree root suddenly appeared at this moment.
The key turned into a golden sword, cutting off the tree root directly. Dazhe snorted, and the broken roots sneaked back into the ground slowly, disappearing.
“Boss?” Dazhe frowned but looked at Luo Qiu.
Boss Luo shook his head. The maid looked at Dazhe and said, “Don’t mind it. Have you forgotten what Eric said when signing the contract?”
Dazhe was stunned. Looking back, what Eric promised was one-third of the Yan Wuyue World’s genuine soul, but because he did not get this Yan Wuyue world, he used an old suitcase as collateral.
Since this old suitcase was only used as collateral, it meant that there was only one way if Eric wanted to get it back. He had to pay the initially agreed price, one-third of the genuine soul in the Yan Wuyue World!
“This guy is forcibly plundering the soul of the Yan Wuyue World?” Dazhe couldn’t help but be shocked.
“This is the real world-class nightmare.” You Ye nodded, “It depends on whether Eric can succeed under Izanami’s anger.”
At this time, the boss made another silent gesture and looked towards the enormous cherry blossom tree.
…
Looking pale, Eric wiped off the blood dripping from the corner of his mouth with his fingers. He glanced at the crimson red on his fingers and ignored the heavy damage he had suffered. From the time Izanami exposed his identity, he knew that his plan had failed.
The number of genuine souls worth one-third of the world, exchanged for the club making a shot for once. It was just that in the two choices of Izanagi and Izanami, he chose the wrong Izanagi, which led to Izanami’s counterattack.
One mistake caused his whole plan to fail.
But if he chose Izanami, then this one-third of the genuine souls seemed extremely cheap. The club might be making a loss. But even so, the club would still take action due to the spirit of the contract.
Just because he got to choose between the two, one would be easy, and the other would be difficult. Hence, the situation offered a relatively cheap price. Eric couldn’t help but smile bitterly. If he investigated Izanami, he would not lose in the end. Even if the number of genuine souls he got to pay exceeded one-third of the amount in the Yan Wuyue World.
Eric stopped repenting and redressing his mistakes. He would not easily succumb to depression just because of some hindrance. He quickly understood what he needed to do at this moment. He would try to get as many genuine souls as possible to pay for the club participation. Then, he would exchange for his suitcase and then leave the Yan Wuyue World.
As long as he returned to the main world, Izanami dared not pursue him further. With that, he was considered safe. The only regret was Miki.
At a particular section of the cherry blossom tree, looking at Miki, who almost merged with the cherry blossom tree with only half of her body exposed, Eric reached out and gently stroked her face, “Miki… consume the world.”
This marked the beginning of the cherry blossom petals drifting across the earth…
Feeling the creatures being swallowed while constantly extracting the power of this nightmare, Eric’s pale face began to recover a trace of blood. He sighed, “It’s a perfect container. What a pity.”
But, Eric frowned instantly because he felt that in Miki’s body, this perfect container, there were some changes that he couldn’t control at this time!
The power transmission of the nightmare was beginning to weaken. It showed signs of breaking! As the creator, the connection between him and Miki was cut off at this time!
Who is secretly sabotaging? Could it be the club?
No! Eric denied this idea almost immediately. He clearly understood what the position of this club was—a being beyond everything else. The club wouldn’t even bother to make such petty moves.
Eric subconsciously pressed his forehead to Miki’s forehead and then closed his eyes. Not long after, Eric opened his eyes solemnly, “Orochi. Something like this is hiding in Yan Wuyue World.”
“Shameful intruder. How dare you plunder my genuine soul?”
A cold and resentful voice appeared behind Eric at this time. The one who came was Izanami!
An ugly body with terrifying gazes filled with hatred.
Eric’s face changed slightly, but he quickly regained his composure because he discovered another intruder who was earlier than him hidden in the Yan Wuyue World: Orochi.
“Ms. Izanami, I think we can still talk.” Eric was unruffled.
Izanami sneered, approaching step by step.
Eric said calmly, “I am indeed unmatched to you, but you have to pay a heavy price if you want to kill me. If this is the case, I am afraid that you will lose your Yan Wuyue World.”
“Shameful intruder, do you think I would believe you?” Izanami didn’t listen at all. The underworld water began to gush out from behind her.
Eric felt the horror of these underworld waters with his heart thumped. Sure enough, he was facing a weak divine power. His strength at this time could not match up to it.
“Orochi has reappeared.” Eric said slowly at this time, “There is another bad news for you and me. Orochi is gathering his world power that was taken away by you from the Three Deities!”
Izanami did not let the underworld water disappear but fixed her eyes firmly on Eric. The intruder possessed a strange power. Even with her weak divine power, she would still be affected by his magical power and succumbed in a daze. In Yahiro-dono not long ago, it was because of being affected and falling into a short illusion that this hateful intruder was able to get a chance to escape.
Eric shook his head and said, “I accidentally discovered the existence of Yan Wuyue and easily obtained nearly one-third of the world’s power. At first, I thought it was because you and Izanagi are in charge of the world so that the power is not concentrated. That’s why I was able to succeed. It doesn’t seem to be the case now. The fundamental reason is that this part of the power has been completely branded! Its true master is only sealed, and what I get is only other’s possession! Izanami. I think even you are helpless with this part of power. You eventually intercept a small part of it, decorate it, and give it to Three Deities, right?”
“You are very weak now.” Izanami sneered, “It won’t take too much time to deal with you! Since I was able to defeat Orochi, it also applies to now! Don’t forget, Orochi just broke the seal. He’s not in his peak state!”
“But I can run away, although I will have to pay a certain price. However, you have no way to stop me.” Eric narrowed his eyes, “You will not easily return to the main world because once you return, you will expose the Yan Wuyue World. Ms. Izanami, I think you should understand how attractive a piece of world fragment is to those with an intermediate divine power or higher? Moreover, I can easily help Orochi get back his divine power before I leave.”
