Beast Taming: My Intelligence System Chapter 931 - 576: Eerie Onslaught (Part 2)

The six Deceit Kings reached a consensus, and their personal armies were mobilized.

"Minions, conduct a thorough sweep for human survivor enclaves and locate them all. Our objective is to breach the areas where humans dwell."

"Advance, my minions, find the survivors. We require more blood sustenance!"

"Capture additional blood sustenance to present as offerings to me."

"Let us engage in a contest. The one who secures the most blood sustenance during this competition will be granted the privilege to plunder more humans. What say you?"

The rules for this game were established by the Deceit Kings.

"However, such large-scale, conspicuous movements might surely incite panic among the humans. Are we perhaps overstepping?"

"What if the humans uncover the reality of this world?"

The Serpent Lady Deceit voiced her reservations after a moment's pause.

"There are already humans originating from the new world. The humans native to this world can be sacrificed and transformed into our blood sustenance."

"But we have perpetuated this game for such an extended duration. Those who stumble upon the truth are permitted to feign ignorance, and in doing so, might be spared. Yet, should they contemplate resistance against us, I am afraid I shall obliterate them entirely. How does that sound?"

The Crimson Wedding Dress Deceit scoffed as she uttered these words.

"Replacements are readily available. Allowing them to persist for a while longer is the utmost leniency I can extend."

Within the Deceit Realm, these paramount eerie entities regard humans as mere sustenance.

They derive enjoyment from this elaborate game of subjugation and are disinclined to alter their playful interactions with humanity.

Should humans refuse to participate, they will simply initiate a new round of the game.

The Deceit Kings, bolstered by the backing of the Deceit Emperors, shall receive unwavering support.

This support is contingent upon them not precipitating the downfall of the entire Deceit Realm.

The subordinates of the Deceit Kings unleashed their forces in full, an action that naturally drew the attention of all humankind.

The Bright White Tower stands as one of the designated locations for human confinement. Nevertheless, this metropolis is of immense scale, serving as the largest human containment site.

It is also the dominion of the Ten Thousand Eyes Deceit.

The Bright White Tower harnesses light-attribute abilities and functions as a facility for the artificial cultivation of holy artifacts.

Although artificially created holy artifacts do not possess the same efficacy as their naturally occurring counterparts, employing artificial sanctity might result in an individual remaining at the Crimson Deceit stage. However, some who reach the half-step Crimson Deceit phase and find themselves unable to ascend are destined to dissipate into nothingness.

The Ten Thousand Eyes Deceit has utilized artificial sanctity to subjugate numerous eerie creatures, employing these Crimson Deceits as his personal subordinates.

Among the six Deceit Kings, he is recognized as the most formidable, commanding the largest expanse of territory.

"The cultivation of artificial sanctity necessitates noble souls. Each forged artificial sanctity grants us the capacity to withstand the power exerted by those at the half-step Crimson Deceit level."

"With the Deceit King's forces comprehensively deployed, it is imperative that we expedite the cultivation of artificial sanctity. This involves transforming more untainted souls into artificial sanctity, thereby enabling our survival within an environment fraught with peril."

The Tower Master of the Bright White Tower, a powerful figure on par with a Deceit King, contemplated these thoughts aloud.

Kneeling before him were numerous White Tower Bishops, each possessing a strength equivalent to at least Tier Six.

"Tower Master, with such a significant deployment of eerie forces, should we not proceed to render aid to our allies?"

"We cannot simply stand by and watch them become eerie blood sustenance,"

responded a bishop with sincere conviction to the Tower Master.

"Negative."

The Tower Master's gaze swept across the somber, gray sky, where a malevolent moon cast an eerie black moonlight.

"I can discern the palpable malice emanating from the eerie. This signifies their deliberate intent to perpetrate a massacre."

"Do you comprehend the implications of this?"

"It signifies that should we intervene, the eerie forces will retaliate against us with their full might."

"Although we may appear to be the most potent force within the Deceit Realm, for the supreme Deceit Kings, a single exertion of power might suffice to annihilate us."

"In these tumultuous times, it is wisest to mitigate troubles rather than exacerbate them."

"Disseminate my directives: accelerate the production of artificial sanctity."

"The souls of infants serve as the most suitable raw material for the creation of artificial sanctity."

"We require a greater number of Holy Infants to enhance the success rate. This presents our opportune moment."

"This comprehensive deployment by the Deceit Kings appears to carry with it an underlying motive of reshuffling the existing order."

"In the absence of Deceit Gods and the dormancy of Deceit Emperors, the Deceit Kings are, in essence, the true sovereigns of the Deceit Realm."

"However, rest assured, I have discreetly established contact with a Deceit King to secure their allegiance as an ally."

"Should we face an invasion from other Deceit Kings, this secured Deceit King will undoubtedly provide us with assistance."

"Nevertheless, the stipulations set by this Deceit King are substantial—requiring an expenditure of one hundred artificial sanctities for their intervention."

The Tower Master articulated this with a hint of melancholy.

"Do not cast blame upon me; direct your grievances toward this era. Were it not for the circumstances of this epoch, all could live in tranquility, and the elderly would receive due care."

The Deceit Realm is fundamentally inhospitable to the survival of human beings.

The Tower Master had long grasped that the Bright White Tower served as naught but a human confinement.

His very purpose, as Tower Master, was to engineer artificial sanctity, thereby bolstering the might of the Ten Thousand Eyes Deceit.

Through this manufactured sanctity, the Ten Thousand Eyes Deceit could proliferate more Crimson Deceits, beings that would unquestioningly follow his directives.

Indeed, the Tower Master found himself a host, parasitized by the Blood Eye Deceit, compelled to generate vast quantities of artificial sanctity under the command of the Ten Thousand Eyes Deceit.

Failure to comply meant the annihilation of his soul, as the Ten Thousand Eyes Deceit would detonate the Blood Eye Deceit.

Being still in his youth and clinging to life, the Tower Master had no alternative but to permit the sacrifices of countless other humans.

"Do not fault me; place the blame upon this era. Truly, this is not what I desired; it is an arduous path for me!"

Tears flowed from the Tower Master, though they were likely as genuine as a liar's promise.

Upon receiving intelligence that the eerie forces were mobilizing their full might, Ye Bai was struck with profound astonishment.

"Are the eerie preparing for all-out war against us?"

"I hold no objection to conflict, but with so many individuals gathered here, surely a war would bring dire consequences for humanity?"

It bears mentioning that each of the six Deceit Kings commanded forces numbering in the billions.

Currently, their priority was the challenging task of pinpointing the hidden enclaves of human survivors.

It seemed inevitable that the Underground City's concealment would not endure much longer before discovery by the eerie.

Consequently, the Ten Thousand Changes Silkworm, having undergone a transformation into an eerie-like form, resolved to depart stealthily. Its unique sustenance came from consuming eerie beings; the more it devoured, the more potent it became.

The entirety of this Ten Thousand Changes Silkworm radiated a menacing black energy, making it an almost indistinguishable counterpart to the eerie.

In effect, the Ten Thousand Changes Silkworm became a mobile instrument of destruction for the eerie.

Wherever its path led, the eerie creatures became mere sustenance for its insatiable hunger.

Coupled with its existing powerful physique, already at the Peak of Tier Eight, the Ten Thousand Changes Silkworm's strength surged with remarkable speed.

In a mere span of half a month, it ascended to reach the Peak of Tier Six.

At this juncture, it sought a secluded location to continue its evolutionary progression.

Concurrently, the Ten Thousand Changes Silkworm, fueled by a transformative evolution driven by human belief, also embarked on its own evolutionary journey.

With both undergoing their transformations simultaneously, the Ten Thousand Changes Saint Butterfly experienced immense elation.

"The opportune moment has arrived; at long last, I can ascend to Tier Nine."

"Once those two accomplish their advancement to Tier Eight, I am certain to break through to Tier Nine."

"This Deceit Realm is undeniably the land of my ascent."

"I have made my resolution—this Deceit Realm must be preserved. Whenever respite is needed, I shall return here to recover my strength."

The Ten Thousand Changes Saint Butterfly secretly solidified this determination.

However, at this precise moment, the Underground City was finally detected by the eerie forces.

"At last, the location of those humans has been ascertained. I was perhaps a bit remiss, and now over ten thousand individuals are present."

"Amongst such a bounty of sustenance, the outsider should be present, correct?"

"Yet, even if that individual is absent, it matters little."

"With so much life force available, I should be able to attain another level of power."

The Shadow Dancer Deceit King resolved to annihilate this place entirely, transforming it into his personal sanctuary before any others could claim it.

"Shadow Dancers, commence your assault immediately. Ensnare the shadows of these humans and subjugate them as your thralls."

The Shadow Dancer Deceit King commanded with malevolent glee.

At this juncture, the demeanor of Shadow Deceit shifted dramatically.

"Ye Bai, I believe I have located the Shadow Dancer Deceit King; they have arrived here."

"This signifies that our sanctuary has been compromised."

"The Shadow Dancer Deceit King is infamous for his cruelty; most eerie beings hesitate to engage him directly."

"Furthermore, as you are aware, the Shadow Dancer Deceit King possesses formidable strength."

"We might very well require Light Skills to overcome him!"
