Host, Please Be Honest! What Exactly Are You? Chapter 678 A Treacherous Friend

678  A Treacherous Friend

Amidst the pelting rain, howling wind, and an encroaching darkness, a vile pollution of evil swirled like tempests around the heavenly link. "WHAT IS HAPPENING!~"

Several reporters, their protective bubbles failing, collapsed to the ground as the winds assailed them from within. The immense, pure heavenly link stood firm, yet it was under a barrage from the actions of Beelzebub, Lucifer, and their cohorts. Bhahahahhaahahha~

The Titans unleashed roars of laughter that echoed through the space, with Ice Titans gleefully hurling shards. Lava Titans, Wind Titans… A multitude of Titans and other creatures continued to pour forth from portals that had yet to be destroyed. Yes… yes… the end was nigh. And to complete their plan, it was time to introduce the crackling abominations they had been breeding in the underground sewage systems. "Come out, MY PRECIOUS!" Belphegor shrieked. In an instant, a torrent of viscous, green creatures surged from the sewers like an oozing slime. They appeared to recognize Belphegor, emitting strange, crackling cries of delight, finally liberated from the condemned filth they had inhabited. Thanks to Loki's key ingredient, these little ones should now fulfill their purpose.

"Now, now… darlings. You shall all enter the light, corrupting it so we may subsist upon it."

Chaos reigned supreme, with humanity poised not only to face its demise but to endure a millennium of servitude. Are you content? Are you exhilarated?

ARE YOU BLOODY EXCITED?

The Underworld princes howled with maniacal laughter, tearing their human disguises without a second thought. BEHOLD, their true forms. The most hideous entities imaginable. They say beauty resides in the eye of the beholder, but countless humans vehemently disagreed. BLUGH~

All humans fell to their knees, retching violently, spitting blood from the sheer force of their nausea.

These were to be their new Masters? These grotesque beings their new rulers?

Even Butler Sheng, though he managed to refrain from vomiting, gagged repeatedly. And then, after all their strenuous efforts… a passage was finally breached. SUCCESS!

All four Princely brothers and the Titan King exchanged knowing glances. "Brothers," Lucifer declared, his voice a haunting melody of sorrow. "The moment for vengeance is upon us."

"Indeed…" Asmodeus chortled. "With these prized conduits (the green monster slime), we shall defile the heavens, spreading a debilitating plague that will render them at least half as potent as they are now."

And it was all due to Loki. They wished they could obliterate him countless times, yet the undeniable truth was that they always required him… No one else possessed his unique capabilities.

It was precisely this reliance that fueled their profound loathing for him.

However, one day, when they finally obtained all that was rightfully theirs, HE would be the first to PERISH. That was their solemn vow. They had done it! They had triumphed! They had succeeded!

Their fantasies of pummeling and battering the Almighty, Gabriel, Raphael, and the rest into submission were already spiraling out of control. Ah yes, they could vividly picture it now. They even imagined themselves in a boxing ring, delivering a flurry of blows, like the true heroes of their own epic sagas. Surely, it would feel immensely satisfying to bludgeon those infernal beings into oblivion!

No one could suppress their wicked grins. Well, with the opening now created, they supposed there was only one course of action left. "Brothers," Beelzebub intoned eloquently, observing the vile sewer creatures making their way toward the aperture. "It is time to—"

BAM!

[4 Princes]:...

[Titan King]:...

[Titans and Underworld creatures]:...

[Humans with teary eyes]:...

It transpired with astonishing speed.

Before Beelzebub could finish his declaration, the very opening they had struggled to create sealed shut in less than a millisecond, preventing the creatures from entering. And the most devastating part? The other elements used to forge the opening rapidly disintegrated into dust, as if their very essence had been completely depleted. This… was this how it was supposed to happen?

Hold on, wait a minute…. The four princes and numerous others felt as if their hearts were about to rupture. From the very end, everyone could hear Beelzebub's teeth grinding and gnashing audibly. "LO-KI!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

The world seemed to convulse with tsunamis, earthquakes, and all manner of devastation the moment this cry escaped Beelzebub's lips. In the blink of an eye, Beelzebub seized Loki by the collar, shaking him with such ferocity that even Loki became disoriented. "You scoundrel! I will strangle you to death!"

"Is this amusing? Is it fun to toy with us in this manner?"

Lucifer, Asmodeus, and Belphegor also advanced, their weapons drawn, stabbing at Loki as if he were a piñata suspended by a rope. Do not intervene! Do not restrain them! Allow them to pummel this wretch until his very identity is forgotten!

They swore upon their own graves that they would kill him, bury him, resurrect him, cleanse him, dry him, hang him, and then stomp him until he ceased to exist once more!

"Die, you villain!"

"What insolence! What impudence!"

"That's it! I swear that if I don't tear your head from your neck, my name isn't Asmodeus!"

"You bloody son of a BASTARD! What else can I expect from someone spawned from that Almighty Scoundrel? Fine! I, Lucifer, was also spawned from him. But you— Fucking, motherfucking, treacherous, despicable, son of a bitch… You're just something else… SOMETHING TRULY WICKED!"

"Dammit, after toiling for millennia, this is the result of our hard work?"

"Brothers, why are we wasting our breaths? BEAT HIM!"

"KILL HIM!"

"INCINERATE HIS BODY TO ASHES!"

"..."

[Humans watching]:...

Could they possibly express sympathy for these princes of the underworld?

Hadn't they heard? They had been toiling for ages. Even if it were humans, they would likely launch missiles and go all out in anger if someone treated them this way. "Loki…" Several people murmured his name, vowing to avoid this guy like the plague. From his initial appearance today until this moment, they felt the name 'Trickster' was quite fitting for him. Such a person might cause them to develop high blood pressure if they remained in his presence. "DIE!"

"DIE!"

"DIE!"

Beelzebub and the others were so consumed by rage that when the 'corpse' they were holding suddenly transformed into a wooden carving, they were dumbfounded, searching frantically for Loki like maniacs. "Now, now, boys…"

"LOKI! You must have a way. Show us another passage THROUGH NOW!"

They lunged towards him once more upon seeing him. But what he said next left them frozen in place, their attention shifting to one place and one place only. "Although I enjoy watching you all descend into chaos, I cannot take credit for this… Isn't that right, Grandmaster."
