The heavens begin with the king of gotham

Chapter 946 Isn’t it normal for demons to know holy light?
It was obvious that Yusas was a little abnormal, so Li Ming didn't plan to come normally.

He decisively pulled out his trump card and tried to defeat Yusas directly.

Yusas obviously did not expect that Li Ming would start with a powerful attack. Before he had time to adapt to the situation, he was stabbed in the chest by the Spear of Longinus.

He still wanted to struggle, but the archangel-level holy flame ignited all of Yusas's dark energy, just like flying willow catkins encountering a raging fire. In an instant, flames filled the sky and the willow catkins were burned to ashes in an instant.

The Spear of Longinus already has an attack bonus against dark forces, and when combined with the power of personality, it is understandable that Yusas was unable to hold on at the beginning when faced with a double critical hit and was killed instantly.

In a battle between eighth-level warriors, the fighting will either be extremely short or turn into a protracted war.

Yusas really suffered from the attribute of strength.

Li Ming did not kill Yusas directly because he had many questions to ask.

For example, who is Yusas working with to use Mordred to frame the Man in the Iron Mask?
Although he told Mordred with certainty that Yusas was definitely King Arthur's man.

But deep down, Li Ming knew that this inference was doubtful.

Especially now that Yusas has demonstrated his eighth-level strength, Li Ming's doubts have increased even more.

King Arthur found an eighth-level reincarnationist to have sex with his own son, and used this to frame another eighth-level reincarnationist?
It seems a bit magical no matter how you look at it.

Although Yusas was completely pinned to the ground by the Holy Flame, the dark aura still continued to flow out of his body, and it was obvious that he was still trying to break free.

Seeing this, Li Ming put his hand on the back of Yusas' head and used the power of the Anti-Life Equation to try to control Yusas.

He thought that Yusas also had the strength of the eighth level and would not be so easily controlled by him, so Li Ming also deliberately added the power of the Mind Gem and the Soul Gem, intending to break down Yusas' psychological defenses first.

Unexpectedly, after Yusas felt his mind being invaded, he reacted extremely violently, especially after the power of the anti-life equation invaded. Yusas seemed to know that he could not escape, and decisively let the dark energy riot in his body!
After Yusas' body trembled slightly twice, it fell limp and stopped moving. Li Ming's eyes narrowed. Yusas didn't even try to self-destruct, but chose the fastest way to end his life.

He was a little confused. Yusas's actions undoubtedly proved that he had an unspeakable secret in his heart, but the choice of committing suicide directly was too un-reincarnating, right?
This is clearly the style of a death warrior, but... a death warrior with eighth-level strength?

Li Ming could never have imagined that there was anyone in the reincarnation space who could be so arrogant.

Even Michael, whom Li Ming regarded as a great enemy, couldn't do it.

Although Michael is a ninth-level reincarnationist and has the strength to attack and kill eighth-level reincarnationists, if he really does so, the reincarnationists under his command will really rebel.

And... thinking about what Yusas had said before - "You reincarnations", Li Ming had some guesses in his mind.

Is it possible that Yusas is not really a reincarnation, but has sneaked in to cause trouble?

Just like Solus under Li Ming, Li Ming let Solus become a reincarnation and join the Hell camp, just to have an extra insider in the Hell camp, and he didn't care about the reincarnation's mission at all.

However, Li Ming still didn’t quite understand what motivated Yusas to commit suicide.

Perhaps, another eighth-level reincarnationist can give him some answers.

Merlin.

Li Ming has already determined that Merlin's so-called coming to this world to recuperate is purely an excuse.

Yusas is able to be unrestricted in this world, definitely with the help of Merlin.

The only thing that needs to be determined is to what extent Merlin is involved?
So while the archangel's bonus had not yet worn off, Li Ming directly attacked the origin of this world.

It just so happened that he had previously obtained methods on how to attack the core of the world from Hayes and Ramand.

"If you don't come out, I will turn this world into a neutral world again!" Li Ming thought.

He knew that since this world was very important to Merlin, he would definitely not sit idly by.

Sure enough, when Li Ming successfully broke through the origin protection and came to the core of the world, a strange energy repaired the origin protection.

Then a little old man in a wizard's robe appeared in front of Li Ming.

"Merlin?" Li Ming asked.

The visitor nodded, then looked at Li Ming with a serious expression.

He had no choice but to take it seriously. After all, under the restrictions of the reincarnation space mission, those who could get in touch with the core of the world were all extremely ruthless people.

"Who are you?" he asked.

"Me?" Li Ming curled his lips. "I am a kind person in heaven. I saw that your place was invaded by an eighth-level strongman, so I came to help you enthusiastically."

Merlin's face twitched twice. He was about to say something when he found that the light of the Spear of Longinus in Li Ming's hand was getting brighter and brighter.

"Wait!" Merlin hurriedly stopped Li Ming's actions and shouted, "What do you want to know? I'll tell you everything!"

It’s no wonder that he is so cowardly. When Yusas revealed his eighth-level strength, Merlin had already been awakened, and naturally saw the scene where Li Ming killed Yusas instantly.

From then on, Merlin knew that Li Ming's strength was above his, and this world happened to be his original world, so Merlin couldn't leave even if he wanted to.

There was no other way but to compromise. As long as Li Ming didn't go too far, Merlin still thought it would be better to send him away as soon as possible.

Li Ming seemed very satisfied with his attitude, and the holy light in his hand indeed dissipated a lot.

Of course the fact is that his archangel status bonus has expired, and he just wanted to scare Merlin.

His first question was the key: "Who does Yusas belong to?"

Unexpectedly, Merlin got stuck at the beginning. He frowned and said, "I don't know. I haven't seen him before this mission."

Li Ming stared into Merlin's eyes and pretended to gather the holy light towards the core of the world.

Merlin quickly added: "I didn't hide the fact that I didn't know Yusas's origins."

"He came with an important person. I have no choice but to help him and use the origin of the world to remove the restrictions on Yusas's strength!"

"Oh? Who is that big shot?" Li Ming asked.

Merlin hesitated for a moment, his face full of confusion.

"You have to understand clearly that no matter who that big shot is, you have offended him now. After all, Yusas died in your world." Li Ming shattered his last thought.

So Merlin sighed and reluctantly uttered a name.

"Heaven, Michael!"

Li Ming's eyes widened instantly, obviously he didn't expect to hear the name of his mortal enemy whom he had never met.

Merlin was also staring at Li Ming's expression at this time, trying to see if Li Ming would feel panicked after hearing that the person behind the scenes was a ninth-level reincarnationist.

Unexpectedly, Li Ming in his eyes actually spat in disgrace: "Why is it this bastard again?"

"I knew that Heaven had given up this world voluntarily, and that they must have some bad intentions!"

Merlin's eyes flashed with surprise, because Li Ming's words clearly showed that he knew who Michael was, but he had no respect for Michael. He certainly didn't think that someone who could kill an eighth-level strongman would be stupid, so Li Ming was probably really confident!
Based on this idea, and the fact that he had indeed not done what Michael had asked him to do, and had already offended Michael, when Li Ming continued to ask about Michael and Yusas's true intentions, Merlin told him everything he knew.

"After this world fell into the hands of the Heaven Camp, Michael's people found me and threatened me that this was my origin world and asked me to help him, otherwise Michael would directly destroy this world."

"I had no choice but to agree to him."

Li Ming sneered: "By the way, we can also take the ship of the ninth-level reincarnation, right?"

Merlin nodded silently, not thinking there was anything wrong. For a reincarnationist, knowing the current situation is the most important thing.

He went on to say, "Not long after, Yusas joined King Arthur as a seventh-level reincarnation. Then I learned that Michael was actually trying to frame the Iron-masked Man in this world and stir up civil strife in the hero camp!"

Li Ming asked in confusion: "You just agreed to hand over the ownership of this world to Hell?"

"Michael promised me that he would help me take back this world soon," Merlin explained.

"But if it's just a frame-up, there wouldn't be a need to let an eighth-level strongman sneak in, right?" Li Ming didn't quite believe it was that simple.

Merlin sighed and said, "I think so too. I think Michael is planning to use Eusas to plot against King Arthur. But this is just my guess."

But Li Ming felt that Merlin's guess was reasonable, because he was well aware of the habits of old silver coins.

Is it enough to simply provoke civil unrest?
The most important thing is how to gain benefits after provoking civil unrest.

The purpose of framing the Man in the Iron Mask was to stir up civil unrest, and letting Eusus lurk beside King Arthur should be a step to gain benefits.

If not, wouldn't Michael be working in vain?

You have to know that the Hero Camp is still an ally of the Heaven Camp. If there is no huge benefit, Michael would be crazy to deal with his own ally.

"Did Michael plant other people?" Li Ming continued to inquire.

"Of course there are, but Yusas should be the only one with the eighth-level strength," Merlin replied.

Li Ming also understood that the eighth level was not a cabbage, and it was enough to become a hegemon in the reincarnation space. How could they all jump out to do dirty work?
"And Yusas is a little strange too. He wasn't a reincarnation before, and from what I've observed, he wasn't Michael's subordinate either." Merlin added.

Li Ming's heart skipped a beat. It seemed that Michael was secretly looking for a powerful ally.

This is not surprising. Reincarnationists will not fight alone. Seizing every opportunity to improve their strength is their way of survival.

So Li Ming also needs to expand his staff.

"So what are your plans for the future?" Li Ming looked at Merlin with a smile.

Merlin's heart skipped a beat, as if he had just stepped off a pirate ship and entered a wolf's den.

He understood what Li Ming meant. He was trying to win him over.

Merlin instinctively didn't want to have anything to do with Li Ming, but he had just offended Michael and also plotted against King Arthur in his own camp. He was in a difficult situation on both sides, so he really had to find a force that could protect him.

He also knew that he had to enter Li Ming's den of wolves, otherwise Li Ming would never let him leave easily.

"Which force are you from?" Merlin asked.

Li Ming smiled slightly, and equipped himself with the [Mammon Totem] again, leaking out a bit of the power of hell.

"You are Mammon!" Merlin's pupils constricted and he immediately recognized this power.

But he was immediately surprised: "No, you are using Holy Light!"

Mammon is a pure native of Hell, but Li Ming is clearly holding the Spear of Longinus in his hand. Since when did holy light become popular in Hell?
"Michael can do so many evil things that deserve to go to hell, so who says that I can't use Holy Light in hell?" Li Ming said righteously, "Of course, if you tell others that I can use Holy Light, I will definitely scold you for slandering me."

Merlin understood and knew that the Holy Light was Mammon's secret.

Seeing that Merlin really believed in his identity, Li Ming nodded.

As for Merlin, he would not reveal his secret from the abyss like Hayes and Lamande did.

After all, in Li Ming's mind, there is still a question mark as to whether Merlin is trustworthy.

What if he was also the bait thrown out by Michael on purpose?
Li Ming couldn't reveal his true identity to Merlin until he completely trusted him.

However, after Li Ming disguised himself as Mammon, Merlin's eyes suddenly widened: "Wait, if that's the case, is the Iron-Masked Man...really with you?"

"Those who reincarnate must be flexible." Li Ming did not give a direct answer, but that was almost the answer in Merlin's mind.

"Aren't you still willing to adapt to our situation?" Li Ming asked.

"of course not."

Merlin knew that there were only a few people in the entire reincarnation space who could protect themselves from Michael's attack. Considering the stable relationship between Hell and Heaven, it was actually a good idea for him to side with the Hell camp.

As for saying that this would betray the heroic camp?

When Merlin agreed to help Michael, he had already betrayed the heroic camp.

"What do you want me to do?" Merlin asked tentatively.

"It's simple. When Mordred gets out, he will accuse King Arthur of trying to frame the Man in the Iron Mask. You just need to not help either of them."

Li Ming said with a smile.

"As for Michael, you don't have to worry. Michael cannot leave the heaven space, and the ownership of this world will belong to hell. We will never let heaven have the chance to take it back!" He comforted Merlin.

Although he knew that Michael could actually come out.

But Merlin's face froze when he heard this. He believed that the Hell camp would definitely protect this world, because this was the only way to threaten him.

But Merlin had no choice. The strength of Mammon in front of him was much stronger than the intelligence said. He had already killed an eighth-level warrior in front of him. Even if Merlin wanted to resist, he would most likely not be able to defeat Mammon.

And if Mammon insists on destroying the core of the world, Merlin can't stop him.

"Okay, thank you very much, Lord Mammon!" He immediately responded with a bright smile.

Li Ming also nodded warmly, and the atmosphere between the two was extremely harmonious.

But Li Ming was thinking in his heart——

"The hero camp is finished."

Little did Merlin know that a sentence popped up in his mind -

"The hero camp is finished!"
