Me! Cleaner!.

Chapter 1190 Lessons from the Past, Lessons for the Future... She refused to believe in the possibility of a repeat offender.

It turned out to be the case.

After patiently listening to the Crimson King's explanation, a look of understanding appeared in the pure white maternal mother's blood-red eyes.

Her pure white embrace sees everything outside as fear and threat, and then, rooted in motherhood and goodness, she opens her arms to shield her "children" from fear and danger, while directly receiving their affection and respect.

This truth, called "Avoidance of Calamity," is somewhat similar in principle to his own "Embrace of Pure White." However, instead of suppressing and concealing his fear like he did, he chose to escape fear at all costs and draw power from the object of his escape.

Considering the similar operating methods of [Avoidance of Calamity] and [Embrace of Pure White], as long as this strange pillar god's fear of the so-called [Calamity] is greater than his fear of everything in the world, then he will be able to resist his own embrace without any source.

So this isn't some exceptionally talented Pillar God, just a useless guy who's been scared out of his wits by Number 3!

"Ah."

After figuring out why her [Embrace of Pure White] had failed, thanks to the "traitorous" Crimson King's explanation, the Pure White Mother immediately lost all interest in the raven and looked away with slight disgust.

"wait wait wait!"

Upon discovering that the once gentle, caressing white hand above its head was now slowly revealing demonic, purplish-black scales in its palm, exuding the scent of blood and sulfur, the thrush cried out in alarm:

"Don't do it! I'm still useful! I can help you!"

"Oh?"

The beautiful yet ugly hand paused slightly, ceasing its movement as it "stroked" the thrush's head. The Virgin Mary, her face once again shrouded in pure white light, asked in a gentle voice:

"Confused child, what do you think you can offer me?"

"I……"

I really want to ask this crazy woman if she's interested in Leon, and if she is, whether she should learn from the advanced experience of a certain ruler and start by targeting Leon's family.

But thinking of the ruler who had been gnawed at by Leon for two and a half months before finally dying, the raven ultimately didn't dare to speak. Instead, it trembled and forced itself to say:
"I know something about Number 1... huh?"

With a soft slap, the All-Encompassing Cicada, still battling against the [Embrace of Pure White], suddenly reached out, its hand bearing the Lighthouse Mark seemingly traveling through time, and struck the raven directly on the back of the head, promptly bringing to mind the image of Leon savoring the Dream Overlord.

As the familiar figure entered his mind, the previously suppressed [Disaster Avoidance] instantly reacted, unleashing an unstoppable, immense power that shattered the white wax wings on the back of the Myriad Things Celestial Cicada.

Immediately afterward, amidst the terrified yet "happy" screams of the ravens, the now-normal All Things Celestial Cicada grabbed his head with one hand and pulled on the Crimson King's shoulder with the other, forcibly squeezing into the range of the [Disaster Evasion] effect.

However, the Crimson King, whose wings had already grown back, ignored the rescue attempt from the Celestial Cicada. Scorching blood flames surged up from its shoulders, melting the Celestial Cicada's hands into boneless white flesh, and then burned all the way up its arm.

Damn it! It's too late!
Seeing the surprised gaze directed at the Pure White Mother who was spreading her wings, the All Things Celestial Cicada had no choice but to grit its teeth, sever its blood-stained right arm, and abandon the indifferent Crimson King. With the power of [Disaster Avoidance], it instantly vanished without a trace.

Even the root cause can't be stopped? Is this the power of [Disaster Avoidance]?
Completely unexpectedly, the two pillar gods, who were already trapped, managed to escape right before her eyes. The Pure White Mother stared at the two bloody holes in her wings, her dark eyebrows furrowing deeply. She had misjudged them… Although that thrush was a cowardly fool, its understanding of truth was truly extraordinary. Even though she had detected the anomaly of the Myriad Things Celestial Cicadas and preemptively mobilized her source to block them, she still couldn't stop them.

No wonder Number 1 felt at ease letting these three pillar gods run around freely. Faced with this kind of truth that even the mobilization of the source cannot stop, other rulers would definitely not be able to react when they first encountered it. If they are careful, they really can leave whenever they want.

In fact, if he hadn't been so eager to capture them and taken advantage of their distraction by the demons that hadn't been fully transformed, and hadn't immediately given them a "pure white embrace" upon meeting them, he might not have even been able to catch the Crimson King.

"Mother, they probably won't be able to catch up."

Upon seeing the gaze of the Pure White Mother fall upon him, the Crimson King, who had been controlled, immediately lowered his head, his expression one of remorse as he confessed:

“I didn’t have time to remind you before, but Wanwu Tianchan still has a mark left by Number 1 on his hand. Based on what I know about him, he probably never accepted your embrace because he felt he wasn’t confident enough to make a move in front of you, so he was waiting for you to be distracted so he could make contact with the thrush.”

"It's not your fault, that child really did exceed my expectations."

After lovingly patting the Crimson King's head, the Pure White Mother spoke with a hint of regret:

"Among the beings under the ruler, you four pillar gods should be the most outstanding, including that thrush. Although he is a bit timid, his abilities are indeed quite good. It's a pity that we couldn't keep them here as well... By the way."

Looking at the Crimson King kneeling before her, the Pure White Mother asked with some curiosity:
"Number 1 just obtained so many sources, she shouldn't have time to do anything else right now, so why did she send you to the Abyss of Ten Thousand Evils at this time?"

“Mother, we did not come for the Abyss of Ten Thousand Evils, but for the God of Food.”

The God of Cookery? Number 3?
Upon hearing the Crimson King's answer, the Pure White Mother's expression stiffened slightly. She recalled the figure who, no matter how much Number 7 cried and begged, remained unmoved, devouring him piece by piece. Her expression immediately darkened as she asked:
"Is Number 3 coming to the Abyss of Ten Thousand Evils?"

"Yes."

The Crimson King nodded respectfully and said:
"He already knows that the director of the Cleanup Bureau is trapped in the Ring of Time, and he will definitely go to rescue him. The way to the Ring of Time will take him through the Abyss of Ten Thousand Evils."

According to the judgment of the All-Knowing Cicada, given the Food God's habit of conducting thorough investigations, he would almost certainly visit the Abyss of Ten Thousand Evils to see if he could gather any information about Number 1.

That's it...

After hearing the Crimson King's answer, the Pure White Mother, her face hidden behind the holy light, couldn't help but show a rather interested expression. She then smiled and asked:

"Child, based on your understanding of Number 3, if I lead you here to set up an ambush beforehand, and then make my move when Number 3 arrives, is there any chance of success?"

Ambushing the God of Cookery? And you're taking me with you?
Upon hearing the Pure White Mother's thoughts, even though he was under control, the Crimson King couldn't help but shudder violently.

"Mother! She's wrapped up!"
