Reincarnated as the Death Spider Queen, sacrificing Bibi Dong at the start

"This means that although you are only controlling a fragment of your soul, as long as this clone is not destroyed and still exists intact in the world, your subjective consciousness... will be firmly anchored here!"

"Even if your soul's origin is far away, as long as I use the power of the Sea God to perfectly seal and trap this avatar of yours, you will never be able to break free of this body on your own!"

"Your consciousness can only remain in this Temple of the Sea God forever!"

Nan Feng fell completely silent.

Miscalculation!

Completely miscalculated!

He originally thought that Poseidon, a woman who grew up on Poseidon Island and spent her whole life praying to statues in temples, would at most be a powerful but naive and innocent old woman, even if she lived to be over a hundred years old.

With a few simple tricks, a bit of bait, and a show of pitifulness, you can easily fool her into losing her bearings.

And what happened? This woman was not only not easily fooled, but she was also incredibly perceptive, almost like a monster!

They acted without the slightest hesitation!

Upon sensing the uncontrollable danger, he skipped the probing steps and immediately unleashed the highest level of Poseidon's divine power, leaving no room for maneuver and instantly locking him in a physical lock!

"Damn it! They've really gotten too cocky!" Nan Feng cursed inwardly in extreme annoyance.

Relying on his spare clone that he could discard at any time and on his information advantage, he acted far too recklessly on Poseidon Island, to the point that he ended up trapping himself in a deadly situation.

Looking at Nan Feng, who was frozen in the blue-gold divine power cage and remained silent, Poseidon slowly walked forward.

"You don't need to feel aggrieved. I have no ill intentions towards you personally."

"But as you just said—there is no sense of security without control."

"You're too dangerous, Nanfeng."

“Your mind, your methods, and your sophistry that can distort the truth all prove that you are an extremely terrifying and unstable factor. To let such a dangerous person as you escape my sight and wander around freely is my irresponsibility as the High Priest of Poseidon Island towards the entire ocean and the people of Poseidon Island.”

"Therefore, you cannot leave."

Poseidon slightly raised his chin. "Unless you are willing to drop all your defenses, reveal all the unfathomable schemes in your mind to me, and reach a consensus with me."

"otherwise……"

Poseidon turned around. "From now on, you'll stay here in the Temple of Poseidon."

"Wait a moment!"

Just as Poseidon was about to step out of the side hall, Nan Feng, who was tightly sealed in the blue pillar of light, suddenly spoke and called out to her.

"High Priest, your decisive and efficient style is indeed admirable, but aren't you oversimplifying things?"

"If I'm just locked up in this Sea God Temple by you without a word, without any news... do you think the Pope in Spirit City will sit still?"

"If Bibi Dong were to recklessly bring her people here to kill me because of my disappearance, aren't you worried that your beautiful and bountiful Seagod Island would end up as a river of blood?"

Poseidon stopped, but she did not turn around.

"If you're hoping to threaten me with Bibi Dong, I suggest you save your breath."

“If Bibi Dong’s cultivation level is still at level 98 and she has not yet truly completed the divine inheritance, then as long as that woman has not completely gone mad, she will absolutely not dare to set foot on Seagod Island easily.”

Poseidon turned her head slightly and glanced at Nan Feng out of the corner of her eye: "After all, this is the domain of the Sea God. If she comes here, her fate will be the same as yours, forever suppressed under the light of the Sea God, unable to stir up any waves."

Faced with Poseidon's confidence, Nan Feng couldn't help but shake his head.

"High Priest, you are still too used to judging today's madmen by the rules of the old generation."

“Bibi Dong is not Qian Daoliu, and she is certainly not Tang Chen! She would never be foolish enough to come to your absolute home turf and talk to you about the ‘dignity of a peerless Douluo’ or ‘one-on-one duel’!”

"Perhaps the first thing she'll do after crossing the sea isn't to land on Poseidon Island, but to descend directly on Purple Pearl Island and unleash a ruthless massacre!"

Upon hearing the words "Purple Pearl Island Massacre," Poseidon's eyes narrowed instantly!

"High Priest, don't look at me with those murderous eyes. I'm not trying to scare you, it's true."

Nan Feng said calmly, "I often use phrases like 'kill the whole family' and 'crush their bones to ashes' to say things, but most of the time, those are just bargaining chips I use to intimidate others and force them to comply."

“But Bibi Dong is different.”

"That woman, she never says such harsh words lightly. Once she has the will to kill, she will do it silently! Leaving no one alive, not even a blade of grass, not even a chicken or a dog!"

"To keep me, a 'dangerous factor' you can't see through, locked up here, to satisfy your so-called sense of security, you're bringing utter destruction upon Purple Pearl Island, which has just gotten on the right track and has tens of thousands of seafarers..."

"High Priest, have you thought this through?"

Chapter 185 Same sex repels, that's why I hate myself so much

……

Faced with Nan Feng's words that struck at his weak point, Poseidon indeed stopped in his tracks.

Her fingers, gripping the gleaming gold scepter, tightened slightly, and a deep hesitation and struggle flashed in her eyes.

The tens of thousands of sea people on Purple Pearl Island, those who had just established a stable life under the faith of the Sea God, if they were to suffer a bloody massacre by a level 98 peak Douluo because of her decision... this blood debt would be so heavy that it would crush anyone's conscience.

but……

If Nan Feng is released because of this fear of harming others, the risks that Poseidon Island will face in the future will be ten or even a hundred times greater than the destruction of Purple Pearl Island!

This man is terrifying.

Even if his extreme madness and selfishness are just a mask, or the "optimal solution" he carefully chose to achieve his goal.

However, daring to put on this mask and get involved requires an extreme level of madness that transcends common sense!

He dared to go to great lengths to create Purple Pearl Island right under the nose of Seagod Island—a massive hub that could potentially turn against the Spirit Hall at any time, but could also control the throat of the ocean at any time.

He dared to cross the sea alone, despite Bibi Dong's face being the target of intense hatred.

He even dared to withstand the light of the Sea God, which was enough to crush a Title Douluo, and step by step walked into the supreme Sea God Temple, fearlessly accepting the scrutiny of a true god!

This is a thrilling, life-or-death gamble that sends chills down your spine!

If Nan Feng hadn't become so insecure due to that deep-seated sense of insecurity, if he hadn't been so careless and underestimated his opponent because he could abandon his clone, thus revealing too many unnecessary flaws in their verbal exchange...

She was probably already being led by the nose by this seemingly fragile "puppet," step by step walking into the terrifying trap he had dug for her, called "New Poseidon"!

If Poseidon were to release him today because of this blackmail, allowing him to escape back to the mainland with a guarded mind that he'd been exposed, Poseidon had no guarantee that she would be able to see through him the next time he donned his mask and concealed all his flaws!

Even with his power restricted and only able to rely on an energy clone, Nan Feng was still able to manipulate events to such an extent. If he truly regains control, and even assists Bibi Dong in wielding real world-destroying power in the future…

Poseidon didn't even dare to imagine what price Poseidon Island would have to pay to deal with such a cunning and scheming demon god!

After thinking for a long time, Poseidon suddenly opened his eyes.

The hesitation in her eyes had been replaced by absolute coldness and resolve. She slowly turned around and looked directly at Nan Feng, who was trapped in the pillar of light and waiting for her to compromise.

My stance remains unchanged.

"Unless you agree to my previous request, drop all your defenses and calculations, reveal your entire plan, and reach a consensus with me, otherwise..."

Poseidon slammed her scepter down on the ground with a deafening roar: "Even if your detention leads to Bibi Dong's rampage and carnage on Purple Pearl Island, I will not let you leave this Sea God Temple today!"

"High Priest..." Nan Feng narrowed his eyes slightly, "So, you, as the spokesperson for the Sea God, don't care at all about the deaths and injuries of the tens of thousands of sea people on Purple Pearl Island?"

"Nan Feng, you're wrong."

Poseidon looked at him coldly, "It is precisely because I care about the peace of this ocean, and about the people who believe in the sea god, that I absolutely cannot let you lead me by the nose today!"

"Even though I have suppressed you with the power of the Sea God, even though you have become a fish on a chopping board, at this moment, you can still accurately find the weakness of Purple Pearl Island, and you can still throw out a deadly trump card to threaten me in a desperate situation!"

"If I were to succumb to your bloody blackmail and let you go with reservations, tell me, how will you scheme against the world next time for your own sense of security? If you really help Bibi Dong fight against Seagod Island, then the bloodshed flowing across this ocean will far surpass that of Purple Pearl Island!"

Poseidon raised her chin slightly. "I've lived for over a hundred years. I'm not some child who can only listen to fairy tales. I am the High Priestess of this Seagod Island!"

“I am well aware that, in many cases, bloodshed and sacrifice are unavoidable costs.”

"If you still expect to use this kind of moral blackmail to coerce me into backing down, then I advise you to save your energy."

Faced with Poseidon's flawless toughness and decisiveness, Nan Feng fell completely silent.

trouble.

This woman has the same temperament as Bibi Dong—both are stubborn to the core, refusing to back down until they hit a wall, and unwilling to give an inch!

Nan Feng had always been well aware that when it came to manipulating schemes and exploiting human weaknesses, the calculations in his mind were enough to easily destroy most of the world's intelligent people. He was accustomed to forcing his opponents to compromise by weaving fears and throwing out unbearable costs.

However, these invincible advantages inevitably fail when faced with women like Bibi Dong and Poseidon, who are extremely strong-willed and have an unyielding will.

They were not intimidated at all by the so-called "terrible consequences" he threw out.

To put it bluntly, his psychological tactics used to intimidate and force people to comply are of little use to those in power who are accustomed to controlling everything and possess terrifying strength.

No matter how horrific the future situation may seem, no matter how he explains the pros and cons, the first thought that pops into his head is not to back down and cut his losses, but rather—to fight you to the death first!

Even if the sky really falls, we'll fight it out and take it one step at a time!

This fierce style is just like that of the Haotian Sect back then.

Those stubborn guys are the same; even if they know they have no chance of winning in the face of an absolute difference in strength, they will never surrender just because of his few light threats.

In the end, he forced the entire Haotian Sect to the brink of extinction, where there was no way to retreat and any further resistance would mean the complete annihilation of the entire sect. Only then did those people finally shatter their proud pride and obediently bow their heads and listen to him.

On the other hand, Poseidon is not in a desperate situation where she has nowhere to retreat.

It could even be said that all the threats he has made about "blood flowing like rivers on Purple Pearl Island" are still just words, and have not truly shaken the foundation of Seagod Island, nor have they truly put the knife of destruction to the necks of the people of Seagod Island.

To expect to make her back down with a few light threats against an opponent of this caliber is simply wishful thinking.

The only way to get Poseidon to compromise is to do what we did to the Clear Sky Sect back then—use overwhelming power to take the lives of everyone on the entire Seagod Island firmly in our hands!

Only when the shadow of destruction truly looms over Mount Poseidon, only when Poseidon has exhausted all his power and still finds himself powerless to resist, with no other option but to compromise, will this proud high priest of the sea truly lower his noble head.

Otherwise, as long as there is even the slightest hope of breaking the deadlock, as long as Poseidon Island has not truly faced annihilation, she will absolutely fight to the bitter end and not give an inch!

Nan Feng was somewhat irritated: "High Priest, I really don't want to deal with someone as stubborn as you. If I had known you had this kind of temper, I wouldn't have come at all."

"Aren't you the same?"

Poseidon looked at the man trapped in the pillar of light who still refused to bow his head, and said calmly, "In fact, if it were you, facing such a deadly threat with no other choice at the critical moment of life and death... you would probably rather detonate everything and perish together with the other person than back down even an inch, right?"

"From the obsession you showed in trying to take control, and your last sentence, 'If you can't control something, you can't trust it,' I can see your bottom line clearly."

"Someone like you, who is extremely insecure and only trusts your own brain's deductions, would never hand over the power to decide your own destiny, or even the slightest bit of your voice, to someone else. You would not naively gamble on whether someone will be merciful or betray you."

"Therefore, once you face this kind of threat where there is really no way out and you can only passively take a beating, the first thought that pops into your mind is definitely not to compromise and seek survival, but to use the craziest and most decisive means to try every possible way to drag the other party down to hell with you!"

"In this respect, there is actually no fundamental difference between you and me. Isn't that right?"
