He's in the Marvel universe, and his first step is marrying Scarlet Witch.

Chapter 462 The Demon God Behind the Night Mother (First Update)

"So, you're a demon god too?"

Upon hearing the dried corpse's words, a hint of caution appeared in Li Chuan's eyes.

If the female mummy is real, then it means that the Dark Brotherhood, which has existed for thousands of years, is actually being controlled by the Night Mother.

Judging from the Night Mother's behavior, she is definitely not a Holy Spirit, but rather fits the chaotic characteristics of a demon god.

"No, I am not King Deidara, but my husband is. He is the great Thetis, a being higher than King Deidara. One day he favored me, an ordinary dark elf, and bestowed upon me divine power and responsibility."

Let me feel the call from the contractors and offer my freshest soul to the great Sidis.

However, ordinary mortals cannot convey my will; only those chosen by Sidis to listen can hear my voice, and you are one of those chosen listeners.

Tell Cicero, "When silence dies, darkness awakens," and he will take you to the Dark Brotherhood in Skyrim, where you will become its leader.

The Night Mother denied her identity as a demon god, but the being behind her was even more terrifying than a demon god.

"Siddis!"

Li Chuan's body trembled, and a look of doubt appeared on his face.

According to his knowledge of mythology, Sidis was a demon god ancestor symbolizing change, and in the context of primordial mythology, he would probably be a being of the same level as Hongjun Laozu.

Would such a being bestow favor upon an ordinary mortal dark elf?

And then she was made to set up a dark brotherhood that frequently hunted mortals to sacrifice fresh souls?

This is no joke!

If Sidis wanted a soul, he could devour the entire planet Nirn and no one could stop him.

According to Ye Mu, Li Chuan believed that the one who had favored her, granted her abilities, and caused all these things was a demon god.

Most demons treat Nirn as their playground. Deceiving a mortal dark elf into creating an organization to assassinate others and create chaos every day should be a very interesting thing for a demon.

"Huh, deception, murder, and sex... this..."

The Night Mother was first favored, then deceived, and finally set up an organization to assassinate others every day. These characteristics suddenly reminded him of a demon god with a corresponding function.

The demon god Mephara is known as the Web Weaver, the Creator, and the Spider Demon.

Their gender is not fixed; they will change their gender autonomously depending on the mortals they come into contact with. What they like most is to weave an airtight net for mortals—full of lies, sex, and murder.

The Morag Gang, the earliest assassination gang on the continent of Tamriel, was founded with his/her direct involvement.

However, the Morag gang was later wiped out by various forces and disappeared from history.

"Cough, I still have some things to do right now, so I'm afraid I won't be able to go to the Dark Brotherhood's stronghold with you."

Why don't you go first?

Li Chuan thought for a moment, then tentatively replied.

Regardless of whether the Night Mother is backed by Sidis, the demon god Mephala, or other demon gods, it is not easy for her to turn against him directly before he poses a threat.

If it were Sidis, he definitely couldn't defeat him, and although the other demon gods couldn't come to Nien in their true forms, offending them would still be a troublesome matter.

Night Mother was silent for two seconds, then her hoarse voice rang out:

"Sure, but I hope you can do it as soon as possible."

Only those chosen by Sidis can hear her, so with Li Chuan absent, she cannot issue assassination missions to members of the Dark Brotherhood.

"Of course, of course."

Li Chuan smiled, his eyes narrowed.

He must have been incredibly idle to go around killing people on the orders of his mother.

Let's keep it for now. If we need to contact the Demon God later, we can use the clues from the Night Mother to get in touch with him. It's not entirely useless.

Moreover, the Dark Brotherhood, an assassination organization that has been active for thousands of years, could likely be put to good use if brought under our control.

Isn't the Night Mother only able to talk to him? Does that mean that any command he gives can be considered the Night Mother's command, since no one can tell the difference?

"Stop the curse immediately!"

Reaching out, Li Chuan removed the binding spells from Cicero the Clown's body, and before Cicero could launch another attack, Li Chuan said directly:

"The day of silent death is the day of darkness's awakening, Cicero, I am the chosen listener of the Mother of Night!"

"These are words of binding, written on the scroll of preservation, a code known only to the guardian."

Cicero paused for a moment upon hearing this, then burst into laughter, gesturing wildly.

"It's true, she's back, our mistress is back! She chose a listener, she chose you! Rejoice for the listener!"

"Alright, Cicero, tell me about the current situation of the Dark Brotherhood!"

Li Chuan raised his hand to stop the clown Cicero from continuing his madness.

Cicero then began to formally introduce the Dark Brotherhood to Li Chuan.

As a guardian of the Night Mother and one of the Dark Brotherhood's strongest assassins, his explanation was far more detailed than that of Lydia, who was still somewhat confused and unaware of the situation.

In short, the Dark Brotherhood is currently in dire straits across the entire continent of Tamriel, having been besieged and wiped out in many places.

Even the Dark Brotherhood headquarters, located in the imperial capital province of Selodir, could not escape it.

That's why Cicero the Clown had no choice but to bring the Night Mother to Skyrim.

Currently, only the Dark Brotherhood branch in Falkreath, Skyrim, remains relatively active.

However, Astrid, the leader of the Dark Brotherhood in Skyrim, has had little contact with headquarters in recent years and seems to have developed disloyal intentions.

"Cicero, take Night Mother to the branch first. Stay there and do nothing. Don't tell them anything about me. I will come to find you after I have finished dealing with things."

This is the Night Mother's order!

After figuring out the situation of the Dark Brotherhood, Li Chuan thought for a moment and gave instructions.

First, go to Highroar to meet Greybeard, and then use the identity of "The Listener" to subdue the Dark Brotherhood and help him search for the resurrected dragons throughout Skyrim.

Since it is an assassination organization that has been active for thousands of years, its intelligence capabilities must be quite good.

"Yes, Listener!"

Upon hearing that it was the Night Mother's order, Cicero immediately replied respectfully.

So, Cicero, once again carrying the prepared coffin of the Night Mother, continued his journey toward the territory of Fryx.

Li Chuan, along with Lydia, flew on the clouds towards the towering, seemingly endless Gaohou Peak in the distance.

To his surprise, when he mentioned his identity as a "listener" to Lydia, Lydia's attitude did not change because he wanted to join the Dark Brotherhood.

In Lydia's words, since she had decided to pledge allegiance to Li Chuan and become his bodyguard, she would obey his orders, whether he joined the Dark Brotherhood or attacked Whiterun.
