Then, Let Them Offer Their Loyalty! Chapter 1736 - 709: Qiu Tu: My Will Is the Law
Previously on Then, Let Them Offer Their Loyalty!...
An overwhelming force descended, crushing any will to resist, and physically restrained everyone to their seats.
Attempts to rise were futile; they were utterly incapable of moving.
It felt as though invisible "Rules" bound them, preventing them from lifting themselves from their chairs or the ground—they were cemented in place.
And this wasn't an isolated incident!
Casting their eyes around, they observed that others were struggling just as they were, yet no one could budge even a fraction!
'Insane. He's truly insane.'
'Qiu Tu is certifiably mad!'
With these thoughts echoing, the entire banquet hall transformed into a horrifying tableau, the assembled leaders' expressions contorted with extreme displeasure.
A few daring individuals attempted to voice curses against Qiu Tu or to rally everyone for an escape, but they discovered... Qiu Tu's command to "shut up" was an absolute decree.
No sound could escape their lips, nor could any messages be conveyed. Every single person present was silenced.
Qiu Tu's control extended beyond their bodies; he had also effectively sealed their ability to speak.
They were like lambs awaiting a slaughter, pinned down and immobile, anticipating Qiu Tu's deadly work.
With this chilling realization, Qiu Tu, clad in a black uniform and seated expressionlessly at the head table, commenced a roll call.
His movements were like the swift scythe of death. The Western Kingdom, the Eastern Kingdom, the Northern Kingdom, and even the remote Southern Kingdom.
From each table, a representative from their respective forces was summoned, only to be sent to join the three Divine Kings.
It mattered not if they were at the Eighth Rank Mid-level or the Eighth Rank Peak; not a single Great Evil God could withstand even a single move from Qiu Tu.
Each Great Evil God whose name was called was dispatched after Qiu Tu casually uttered, "Go accompany the Divine Kings."
Furthermore, throughout this process, Qiu Tu maintained absolute dominance over the several dozens of Great Evil Gods remaining in the banquet hall.
This display of overwhelming power, leaving opponents utterly helpless, was the first time these leaders truly comprehended the chasm between Qiu Tu and ordinary Heavenly Gods.
Recalling their past experiences, they felt even the four Divine Kings could not dispatch foes with the same terrifying ease that Qiu Tu exhibited, akin to culling mere beasts.
'Is this the terrifying might of a peerless prodigy who has ascended to the level of a Heavenly God?'
Some elder Evil Gods who had survived the "Heavenly God Cataclysm" observed Qiu Tu's oppressive actions and were faintly reminded of Zhao Ji from days past.
In those times, Zhao Ji had responded to the provocations of countless Evil Gods and Heavenly Gods with a singular command: kill.
She killed until they trembled in fear, killed until no opponents remained, killed until their hearts and souls submitted.
It was through her blood-soaked path that Zhao Ji became the foremost power of her era.
However, a similarity existed between them, yet a distinction too. Qiu Tu pursued "Order" through the "Chaos" of relentless slaughter.
Zhao Ji, in her own frenzied butchery, sought it through the path of "Life."
With such thoughts, the leaders who were present couldn't help but remember the dozen or so individuals that Qiu Tu had previously eliminated.
Prior to Qiu Tu's specific accusations, these leaders had not noticed anything peculiar. However, subsequent to Qiu Tu's identification, they began to sense that the deceased individuals indeed seemed somewhat unusual.
Within the confines of the "Western Kingdom," the Golden Lion, after a brief period of contemplation, quietly conveyed to those in his vicinity,
"I recall receiving a report two days ago. It stated that Morioka had covertly arranged a clandestine meeting with several individuals."
"Upon further reflection, it appears those particular individuals were the ones implicated."
Hearing the Golden Lion's statement, the others also began to recall the events, subsequently nodding slightly with dawning comprehension in their eyes.
In all honesty, those who serve have straightforward desires from their superiors. A fundamental principle is all that is necessary.
