Here, the Lord said this is a good thing
Chapter 525: A sudden reversal of the situation
Many of Ye He's subordinates finally chose to stay in the mainland hotel and continue working instead of going out to join in the fun.
Ye He's reminder was very clear: you have to bear the consequences at your own risk. Even though he said it very casually, those who knew him well enough could realize that something was wrong.
First of all, Ye He is a man who is too lazy to lie.
The information he conveyed to the outside world was very, very credible.
But the power of the four words "you will bear the consequences at your own risk" is still too strong, enough to make these people realize the danger of this matter.
Ye He showed a satisfied smile when he left, which seemed to confirm that the choice of the people who stayed was correct.
Just imagine, even Katarina couldn't resist the temptation of the Lord of Corruption, and even the righteous goddess Yingyue and others were unwilling to be enemies with the Lord of Corruption.
Aurora, who cooperated with Moriarty and held the powerful weapon Dragon Hunter in her hand, could only fight against Katarina before she was bewitched.
After Katarina was bewitched by the Lord of Corruption and became an apostle, Moriarty immediately fled back to the Federation, and Aurora also immediately fled to Cedarville to find Ye He.
All the information that Ye He did not say out loud actually pointed to the same basic information:
The Lord of Corruption is not as weak as he appears.
This dead true God perfectly illustrates the truth that "a lean camel is bigger than a horse."
Ye He's information about the [God of Corruption] is only indirect to this extent, and it is very one-sided and incomplete.
He needed more information, so he neither rushed to attack rashly nor searched for the trace of the God of Corruption in advance.
Whether it is helping Katarina get rid of the bewitching, or encouraging the group of monsters in Sedwell to help him explore the way, these are all means for Ye He to collect intelligence.
This time he didn't even plan to take action, he just wanted to see what the Lord of Corruption was capable of, so he went alone without any help.
Saidaville is particularly lively today because it happens to be the first day of the new year.
The notice of suspension of work at the Cedarville factory area was delivered early in the morning, and many workers were happily taking their families to the streets to celebrate the New Year and enjoy a rare paid vacation.
The Maximus Circus has been bustling since the morning. With the coming of the New Year, everything special seems reasonable.
Ordinary people who were overjoyed had no idea that a hunt for gods was going on in full swing in the factory area that was closed for holiday.
Under the leadership of some high-level Monster Masters who were both famous and powerful, the Monster Masters who were originally scattered began to unite, and the atmosphere of "joining in this great cause" quickly spread among these people.
Everyone is gearing up and ready to take action, driven by the desire to become a god.
They did not act blindly but planned together, which was already a big surprise for Yehe.
In fact, this is because they are not stupid. Several monsters who relied on their fast speed or flying ability to act as "fools" have already rushed deep into the factory area in advance.
So far, these "fools" have neither made any noise nor returned alive to pass on the news...
The remaining monster users who don't want to die in vain and want to gain the greatest benefits will stick together.
They gathered on an open space at the outermost edge of the factory area and began to discuss countermeasures, represented by the leading leader.
Since many monsters were wearing cloaks to hide their heads and tails, the scene looked like a gathering of cultists, with a strong "villain" feel.
Ye He did not participate in the discussion of these people. He was too lazy to lead these guys, nor did he want to resurrect their personal safety and benefits.
Standing in a corner where no one noticed, Ye He monitored the actions of the monster users through Caesar, while letting another group of Caesars go deep into the factory area.
With these monster masters standing in front of him to step on the mines, Ye He no longer has to worry about alerting the enemy.
He knew that Cassio's arrow would most likely not affect the Lord of Corruption, and that this dead true god should still remember him.
He did not do anything in advance to counter Yehe's conspiracy. He was either caught off guard by Yehe's quick actions, or he still had some strength left.
"Anything interesting?"
Aurora, who appeared beside Ye He at some point, leaned over from the side to look at Ye He's expression.
Ye He curled his lips at her and said nothing.
"So you haven't found it yet? What a pity! Please work harder, Father."
Relying on the fact that she was not using her original body, Aurora was a little unscrupulous towards Ye He and really deserved a spanking!
But Ye He still ignored her. From the moment Catalina showed her identity as an apostle, the hostility between Aurora and Ye He was temporarily resolved.
Her current goal should be the same as Ye He's, both want to see the details of the [Lord of Corruption]. Her attitude of watching for fun is not as much as Ye He's, but her mentality of using/eliminating this existence must be stronger than Ye He's.
Including Katarina who stayed in the Continental Hotel, Ye He knew in his heart that this princess who was being used probably didn't want to destroy the Lord of Corruption.
They will definitely covet the power of the Lord of Corruption, which is very different from Cassio who is dedicated to the public good.
The factory area was still quiet as no one was around. Through Caesar, Ye He quickly found the traces of the missing monster users who had entered this area first, and was asking Caesar to catch up with them along the way to see how they disappeared.
The monster masters who were gathered together on the periphery had already worked out a simple countermeasure. An advance team consisting of several monster masters who had the ability to escape had already begun to advance deep into the factory area.
Just when Ye He saw several figures standing at the gate of a factory, these people suddenly turned around and rushed towards the direction where the advance team came in.
Ye He noticed that these people's eyes had turned black, their expressions were frozen in an extremely distorted state, and there were some dark green signs of corruption on their bodies that were seeping out.
These people should have died, or their souls should have been devoured by the power of the Lord of Corruption. No one expected that this god would be so harsh on these malicious people.
One of the corpses of the monster master, when passing by the camera of Caesar that Ye He used to monitor them, raised his head and said to Ye He:
"I have...begun...to conceive..."
Another monster user's corpse continued the sentence:
"Your...choice...doesn't matter..."
Afterwards, this part of Caesar suddenly turned into ashes, causing Yehe to lose surveillance of the factory area.
"Ah."
Once again, Yehe was looked down upon.
He sneered, then looked up in the direction where the corpses were.
"You have such an interesting expression. Did He say anything interesting to you?"
Aurora, who had been paying attention to Ye He's expression, obviously saw something from Ye He's performance. Just like Ye He who didn't dare to act rashly, she didn't dare to send the Dragon Hunter to investigate the details of the Lord of Corruption, so she chose to find Ye He and get information from him.
"Go and take a look and you will see that He is diverting our attention."
Ye He said something incomprehensible to Aurora, then turned his head and looked to the other side.
That was the main road leading to the city of Cedarville, and the carriage that Cassio was in was heading towards this side.
"Pfft."
The monster that had returned to its original form caused the girl to faint because of Aurora's departure. Ye He didn't even look at her, but turned and walked into the darkness.
Let's leave this to the brother and sister to handle it. The Lord of Corruption underestimates Ye He. Does He think that such half-true and half-false words from a charlatan can deceive Ye He, a genuine priest?
Who do you look down on?
Just as Ye He reminded Aurora, Ye He believed that the Lord of Corruption was diverting their attention.
What a cunning guy...His true body and real target must no longer be here!
Before those monster masters who were corrupted by his power could fight with the advance team, Ye He had already seen through the Lord of Corruption's intentions.
Normal people, such as the monster masters including the advance team, would definitely think that the Lord of Corruption sent out the corpses of these monster masters controlled by Him to fight back in order to protect the new steam engine where His real body is!
But Ye He knew some of the abilities of the Lord of Corruption. Just the part that He showed was enough to bewitch Katarina into becoming an apostle.
How could such a powerful [Lord of Corruption] only make such a "equally matched" counterattack?
In addition, in order to attract Ye He's attention, he deliberately said to Ye He:
"I'm already pregnant, your choice doesn't matter."
[Lord of Corruption] probably wanted to use this sentence to make Ye He think that He had already started planning a bigger conspiracy. If Ye He wanted to stop Him, he would have to kill his way into the factory area to find Him.
Unfortunately, not only did Ye He not fall for it, he also concluded that there was something wrong with the factory area based on all the information he had collected so far.
He took a detour to avoid Cassio and returned to the Continental Hotel in Cedarville from another direction.
"grown ups?"
Rose didn't expect Ye He to come back so soon, and Ye He didn't even say hello to her. He just flew upstairs on the silver disc.
Ye He quickly came to the room where Catalina was, opened the door, and saw the princess holding the Yingyue Divine Scripture and flipping through it.
"You realize that?"
Seeing Ye He in a hurry, Catalina knew that Ye He had discovered the biggest loophole in her plan.
She closed the divine book and stood up. As she approached Ye He, she told him:
"I just realized this problem. Cassio changed my past, but the reality was not affected at all. This is probably because He has another plan."
"for example?"
Ye He took a step back, let Katarina stand on the silver disc, and then flew out of the hotel with her.
"It's a new type of steam engine. In addition to the factories in the factory area, there are also many other places in Cedarville with scattered ones!
He could easily attract everyone's attention to the factory area, and then secretly complete his plan in some corner of the city!"
Catalina is also a very smart girl. Last night, she was unable to think so much because of her confused memory and unclear mind. Now, she has realized the problem one step ahead of Yehe.
"Just as I thought. Then, do you know where there are new steam engines in this city?"
"Of course, this way."
As soon as they walked out of the hotel, Catalina pointed Ye He in a direction, and Ye He immediately took her to fly in that direction.
"correct."
On the way, Catalina suddenly stretched out her left palm to show Ye He.
"Have you ever encountered this thing over there in the factory area?"
Ye He lowered his head and saw that a bluish-gray color began to seep out of Catalina's palm from the inside out. The color became darker and darker, and soon a black mark appeared on the white palm.
This is not an ordinary mark, but a symbol of the Lord of Corruption, a manifestation of the power that this god currently possesses.
Even though Cassio successfully changed Katarina's past, the returning Lord of Corruption immediately transferred his power into Katarina's body.
Although his bewitching of Katarina was interrupted by Ye He's divine code, that is, the blessing of the goddess Yingyue, these powers did not disappear.
From last night till now, Catalina has unknowingly regained a little bit of power as an apostle, so she can control this power and make it emerge in the form of a mark.
"Yes, a few unlucky ones have been devoured by this power. Their bodies have been controlled by Him, and they should be killed by the monster master left over there."
Ye He could tell at a glance that this mark was very similar to the signs of corruption on the zombies. They must have been attacked by some kind of power released from this mark, and thus lost their lives.
"That's bad!"
After hearing Ye He's reply, Catalina immediately frowned and explained to Ye He:
“This is the original power of the Lord of Corruption. I call it the Corruption Plague Curse.
The key point is that anyone killed by it will become a carrier of this curse. Once killed a second time, the curse will spread indiscriminately to the next target!
You made a big mistake! Ye He, you shouldn't have let those greedy weaklings pass. They are likely to be wiped out and become accomplices of the Lord of Corruption!"
"Oh, you will bear the consequences at your own risk. Who cares? Besides, Cassio and Aurora are over there. They won't let the curse spread into the city."
Although Catalina looked solemn, Ye He was still unusually relaxed.
He could actually understand Catalina's concerns. This plague released by the gods was extremely unsolvable, had a strong ability to spread, and was highly destructive.
Also, because its essence is not simply the power of monsters, it cannot be purified by the holy water of the Orthodox Church. Once the plague breaks out completely, the entire Sedawell and even the entire Laurent Empire will suffer.
But so what?
To Ye He, it was just a matter of a cleanser.
And if Cassio and Aurora cannot discover the existence of this plague and stop its spread, this country deserves to be destroyed!
