Beast Taming: My Intelligence System Chapter 932 - 577: Redemption
Previously on Beast Taming: My Intelligence System...
Do you believe in the divine light?
Isn’t that merely empty rhetoric?
Why not confront darkness with the very essence of darkness itself?
Ye Bai embraced this philosophy, intending to vanquish magic with magic.
"Netherworld Hell Wolf, take the lead with those Hell Demon Wolf pups, let us commence the feast!"
Just as the Shadow Dancer Deceit King began its insidious emergence from the shadows, a powerful wolf paw ruthlessly pinned it down.
Soon after, the distinct sounds of ravenous chewing echoed from within the shadowy depths.
The Shadow Dancer Deceit King’s subordinates were being systematically consumed by the formidable army spearheaded by the Hell Nether Wolf.
Exhibiting agility akin to a phantom, the Ten Thousand Changes Silkworm moved through the battlefield. Wherever its path led, a deceitful entity was stripped of its life essence, crumbling into mere wisps of black ash.
"My word, what extraordinary sights greet my eyes!"
"A deceit is on a brutal rampage!"
"Surely this action is a direct defiance of our Deceit King?"
The Thousand-eyed Deceit, idly observing the intricate patterns on his palm, clearly recognized the presence of survivors from the Underground City.
"Shadow Dancer Deceit King, your forces are facing a massacre of immense proportions; does this not inflict any pain upon you?"
The Thousand-eyed Deceit posed this question with palpable curiosity to the Shadow Dancer Deceit King.
"Pain? Such a sentiment is utterly foreign to me. While they share my lineage, they are, in essence, merely my subordinates."
"As long as it is not I who perish, why should I be burdened with suffering."
"Nonetheless, their actions have pushed my patience to its absolute limit. As the ancient adage suggests, even when striking a dog, one must first acknowledge its master."
"With so many of my Shadow Dancer Deceits annihilated, I must demand retribution. Otherwise, the other deceit lineages will undoubtedly lose all respect for me."
The Thousand-eyed Deceit let out a chuckle, his immense eye situated upon his chest fixed unblinkingly upon the Shadow Dancer Deceit King.
"Might it not be prudent to dispatch those two inconsequential ones to test the waters first?"
"Shall I have the honor of leading this charge?"
The Shadow Dancer Deceit King offered a superficial nod of accord.
In truth, this particular Shadow Dancer Deceit King was a practitioner of the Gou Dao Liu cultivation path. He had long harbored reservations regarding the Ancestor's ambition for rapid deification.
Despite his earnest counsel, the Ancestor's resolve remained unshaken. Ultimately, as the Ancestor neared his ascension to the status of Deceit God, he was directly struck down.
Through this act of treachery against the Ancestor, the Shadow Dancer Deceit King secured the acceptance of the other deceit emperors.
The Shadow Dancer Deceit King harbored a sense of unease regarding the current unfolding events. The Thousand-eyed Deceit's desire to act now presented a perfect opportunity.
He was eager to ascertain the true strength possessed by these humans hailing from another world.
"Insignificant pawns, advance upon the human survivors' encampment! I wish to witness firsthand the extent of your capabilities!"
The Thousand-eyed Deceit issued his unequivocal command.
The skin of both Celestial Secret Star and Celestial Minor Star rippled violently, birthing countless eyes that erupted across their forms.
These orb-like structures, pulsating with a crimson hue, unleashed beams of energy akin to focused lasers.
"My, the Thirty-six Heavenly Warriors?"
"They have met their end in this desolate place?"
"What a grim and ironic twist of fate."
While Ye Bai did not recognize the figures themselves as the Thirty-six Heavenly Warriors, he certainly recognized the distinctive armor they donned.
It appeared that the ranks of the Heaven and Earth Association were becoming increasingly depleted of viable combatants.
"This situation is proving rather intriguing."
"Give it a try, Ten Thousand Changes Silkworm."
"Let us ascertain their current cultivation level."
The Ten Thousand Changes Silkworm swiftly morphed into a charging arachnid form, extending a vibrant crimson tongue and lunging directly towards Celestial Secret Star and Celestial Minor Star.
The blood-red laser beams struck, but instead of causing harm, they were harmlessly deflected by the Ten Thousand Changes Silkworm's resilient exterior.
Numerous parasitized individuals, now bearing blood-red eyes, were caught in the laser's path. They writhed in agony before disintegrating into nothingness.
"To see so many humans corrupted and parasitized… the blood-eyed deceit tribe truly deserves utter annihilation."
Ivy watched his suffering kin, and tears began to well in the corners of his eyes.
"Do not despair, we shall undoubtedly eradicate the blood-eyed deceit entirely."
"I am curious, though, do these humans raised by the blood-eyed deceit possess any awareness of the truth?"
Ivy nodded in confirmation, revealing, "The facility where the blood-eyed deceit cultivates humans is known as the Bright White Tower."
"I spent a considerable duration within its walls, from the very moment of my birth until I reached maturity, my life unfolded within the Bright White Tower."
"In those days, my greatest aspiration was to become a valiant knight."
At this juncture, Ye Bai detected a subtle inconsistency: "Did you not acquire the deceit hand?"
"Were you not born in that small village? This seems to present a contradiction."
Ye Bai found himself utterly perplexed by this revelation.
"I must clarify. I deliberately omitted certain details concerning my past. I was once an adherent of the Bright White Tower, a fervent believer in the divine light."
"I held the conviction that humanity possessed a glimmer of hope within the Deceit Realm."
"Consequently, I integrated myself into the Bright White Tower's operations. Its Tower Master possessed profound knowledge regarding the creation of Holy Objects."
"He publicly declared these creations as miracles bestowed by the Light God, proclaiming himself the world's savior."
"Upon joining, I eventually uncovered the grim reality: the fabrication of Holy Objects necessitated the absorption of pure and untainted souls."
"During this period, I also discerned that the Tower Master was, in fact, affiliated with the Thousand-eyed Deceit. It was owing to the Thousand-eyed Deceit's influence that the Tower Master managed to establish such a formidable organization."
"Humans are nothing more than mere livestock, bred through deception." "Therefore, I severed my contract with the blood-eyed deceiver, escaping to a humble town to live in obscurity." "That is the extent of what you know leading up to this point." Ivy recounted the immense struggles he had endured. From the shattering of his deeply held beliefs to the present day, where he had forged such a formidable organization. "The blood-eyed deceiver is a direct offspring of the Thousand-eyed Deceit. This Thousand-eyed Deceit possesses the ability to perceive our thoughts through its blood-eyed offspring." Ivy elaborated further, his voice low. "As a result, some among us humans have been transformed into what they call Holy Objects." "Now, the blood-eyed deceivers have appeared once more. However, I believe I have finally attained the strength required to confront them." "Allow me to fully unleash the savage power that resides within and engage these blood-eyed deceivers in a battle to the bitter end." "This, for me, is atonement. This is redemption."
