Chapter 205
Chapter 205 – For Demons
This morning, in Luo Yang inner palace, Medusa, in the little Diao Chan form, received a long message from the system goddess .
[By now, you should have realized that I'm not an A . I . but the goddess of this dimension . But I'm not revealing myself to brag or anything of the sort this time . This is an emergency .
Something is happening in the Netherworld . I'm guessing that there's a war or some sort between Heaven and Hell again . The creator wants to summon me to the other side to get rid of those troublemakers, and he will temporarily cut the connection between all dimensions for a few thousand years . That means the souls of the remaining otherworlders will be trapped in here after death during this period .
I have requested the creator to refuge my idiot daughter here in this dimension . She has 10 wings like Zuo Ci, so she can partly inherit my authority and reinforce the stability of this fractured universe . A new soul circulation system will be created by her so our current pieces of God's shit can turn into a complete realm . I expect her to be here before the New Year .
Your new job is to form a new Hell Realm for your kins as soon as possible . I've given a similar task to that attention-whore and Zuo Ci . Both of them will create a new realm of their own .
Since you four can't create a new world with only eight or ten-winged power, I'll give you the authority to use the lands in this world as your new home . You are free to expand your territory or turn a country into your new Hell, Heaven, or whatever you want to call it . You can also drain the people's lifespans as you see fit .
All restrictions on you will be lifted, but I have to delete all of your system skills . It gives a burden to this dimension because they are something that defies this universe's laws .
Note that you should not kill all the remaining otherworlders in here . I need them to scatter their seeds and make babies in this world since they are the only ones with real souls . Only children who were conceived by these guys are born with souls .
The rest of the locals are nothing but empty shells . If you want to turn the natives into your demonkind, you can donate a drop of your blood and demonize them . However, you are on your own if your fellow demons turn into monsters or the humans extinct from the planet .
You can ignore my order if you want to, but I can't guarantee what will happen if one of the three of you found an Immortal Realm while the others did not . This is your future, not mine .
Good luck, and have fun duking it out! I'm outta here, bitches!]
This was the last message she received from Lilith . It was sudden, but it gave her hope and a new inspiration .
…
"Give that old man to me, and I won't hurt anyone," Demanded Medusa .
Still intimidated, Li Feihong questioned while his legs were trembling, "What do you want him for? Food?"
"I only need him to come with me alive . Besides, I don't eat junk food . "
Wang Yun wanted to cry, but he had no tear . The monster just indirectly called him [Junk Food] .
Li Feihong gritted his teeth as he was not willing to give up Wang Yun . This minister seemed to hold many secrets which this young strategist wanted to squeeze them out from the old man later .
Killing intent emitted from Li Feihong subconsciously as he planned to kill this snake monster .
Before Li Feihong could pull the trigger, a transparent baby ghost appeared behind his back .
"[Sloth Soul], sleep curse!"
The ghost embraced Li Feihong from behind, and the eyelids of this young otherworlder suddenly got heavier . Unable to resist the feeling of drowsiness, Li Feihong fell down from his horse, falling asleep .
The effect did not restrict to Li Feihong alone . All one hundred bodyguards and Wang Yun also fell unconscious from the ghost's power .
All humans and horses collapsed on the ground . The monster, Medusa, glanced at the sleeping crowd and sighed . She summoned back her [Soul of Sloth], which it reverted back to a black tentacle and returned to her back .
The eight black tentacle wings of Medusa stretched and wriggling like worms as if they were alive .
'It's a pity that all my system skills are gone, but I can use my demon wings again . '
Medusa glanced at her empty status menu . All her skills and her restriction no longer existed, leaving only her lifespan status .
********************
**Status**
Name: Diao Chan
Age: 6
Lifespan: 1,540,903 Years
********************
'1 . 5 Million years, it's still far from enough . A world creation takes twenty to thirty times longer than that . I have to finish what I can do before the 20th mission . The new system goddess should show up by the end of the year . '
'I also have to race against those two . If I'm slow, they could have spread their angelic seeds to more locals . I can't afford to let them turn all humans here into angels or the demons will be suppressed in the future . '
The snake queen cut her wrist with her fingernails, and her blood seeped out from her wound .
Her blood floated and separated into a hundred drop of red liquid . They scattered and entered the mouths of all heavy cavalry soldiers .
'Soul bestowal completed . This young boy has already taken Tong's blood, so he doesn't need it . He'll get his wings naturally . '
Medusa slithered her snake tail toward the dead bodies of Wang Yun's bodyguards . The tentacle wings extended and each of them entered different bodies . Upon penetrating the corpse with her wings, the bodies began to decay at a rapid speed which could be noticed with naked eyes . They dried, withered, and scattered into ashes within a few seconds .
… 1,541,347 …
The eight dead bodies increased Medusa's lifespans by a few hundred years . After the tentacles finished with the previous corpses, they entered other bodies on the ground, draining the remaining life essence from the dead bodies until there was no Imperial soldier left on the ground .
Medusa could also drain lifespans from all the living beings . However, she only picked a few dying humans or wild animals instead of slaughtering everything in her path . Zuo Ci, who disapproved of native killing, was watching her . Since he had more wings than her, Medusa chose to avoid a confrontation or conflict with this sage .
… 1,554,649 …
Over 200 men's bodies gave her over 10,000 lifespans, yet Medusa's face did not show any excitement or satisfaction . In fact, she felt that it was too little .
'I should have stalked the battlefield and steal the corpses . '
The red eyes glittered with greed and pity . By draining the life essence of 50,000 corpses, she could have acquired at least 2,000,000 years of lifespans .
She swallowed her desire and approached Wang Yun, her foster father in this life .
Medusa looked at the sleeping old man with a relief expression . She smiled and carried him with her tentacle wings .
"Stupid father, I've come to pick you up . "
One of her wings entered Wang Yun's calf where it was shot by Li Feihong's gun .
… 1,554,648 …
With one year of lifespan sacrificed, Wang Yun's injury was healed . Seeing the wound had disappeared, Medusa looked at the sky . The sun had set, and it was already dark . It was the best time for her to fly .
'Oh right . I believe Wang Yun is carrying something valuable with him . I should get it back . '
Medusa took back the Emperor Seal and the Emperor Sword from Li Feihong as she needed these items for her future plans .
At first, she decided to pursue the Imperial Army to kill Liu Ping and complete her original purpose of coming into this world since there was not any restriction which barred her from killing an otherworlder anymore . While she was at it, she could take both these items and her foster father back to Luo Yang .
However, she found Wang Yun before she reached Liu Ping Army, and he was in a predicament situation . If Wang Yun were to be captured by Tong's allies at this moment, her plans would have been ruined .
Though she felt guilty for obstructing Tong, she had to do it for the bigger picture . The future of the demons was at stake .
Medusa could have helped Tong and Friday by joining their force . However, directly joining them would not be efficient as Tong would probably shelter her and limit her roles .
Another reason why Medusa chose not to join Tong at the moment because she could freely infect the locals . She could contaminate the water sources and crops with her blood .
The incubation period of the demonic virus usually lasted 20 years or higher . Therefore, in the future of the next 20 years, several natives would transform into demons and reinforce the newly found Hell Realm, or the new country that Tong was establishing .
Her realm creation duty was more important than Tong or Friday's safety right now . If she slacked, Liu Yang and Zuo Ci could surpass her, and their realms would suppress their new Hell Realm in the future .
And lastly, Medusa could exploit her current family status in an ingenious way that could catch all otherworlders and the native off-guard, including Zuo Ci and Liu Yang . It was the plan that she required the Emperor Seal, the Emperor Sword, and her foster father to return to Luo Yang alive .
She needed these to declare herself the new Empress and dethrone Liu Ping!
With the status of the Empress of the country, her influence power could benefit Tong and Friday in the long run . She could also draw the attention of Liu Yang and Zuo Ci away from her daughter and her son-in-law, making their future military campaigns easier .
Medusa glanced at the log message by the system goddess Lilith with a bitter smile . After rereading it, she closed her system menu and prepared to fly home .
'This is for our new paradise . I'm sorry, you two . Oh, I almost forgot . I have to kill that a-hole to complete everything . '
"[Wrath Soul]"
One of her black wings turned into a spirit of Gorgon . Her human body and snake tail were similar to Medusa's current appearance . However, she had an ugly looking face with scale skins, fangs, and a wicked smile . Her hair was the classic hair of living snakes which resembled the depicted pictures of Medusa in the legends .
'Go and kill Liu Ping . He will die a dog's death with this!'
The soul flew northward toward where Liu Ping Army was . With one of her souls departed to complete her mission, she looked back at her father .
"Let's go home . "
While her wings were wrapping around the unconscious Wang Yun, the snake tail exerted the force and leaped into the air .
Like an azure dragon, Medusa's long snake tail slithered through the sky . She passed Shangdang City to the south and reached Henei City within a few minutes .
