I admired heroes but became a villain

Finney looked at Guo Linglong awkwardly. She knew every word the man said, but why did she feel like there was something seriously wrong with her ears when they were put together?

"Because it doesn't matter what we talk about. No matter what we talk about, the God of Destruction will definitely not agree. She has no reason to agree. After all, for her, it's just a few robots and a few subordinates. It's all done."

Guo Linglong's eyes flickered with an obscure light and she said, "But what I want is for her to say no."

Finney never thought of herself as a fool... Whether it was her own consciousness or the people's evaluation, she didn't belittle herself so much. But at this moment, in the man's meaningful afterword, she fell into a state of confusion, as if she understood something, but also as if she understood nothing.

For no apparent reason, she suddenly felt a little regretful. Why didn't she stay in the city and help little Hope take care of the baby? It would have been better than staying here like an outsider, accepting the humiliation of her intelligence.

"When the birds are gone, the bows are put away; when the rabbit dies, the running dogs thrive."

Seeing that Finny still didn't understand, Guo Linglong had to explain: "For the God of Destruction, she has already destroyed the world, and there is no point in keeping these subordinates. In this case, if her subordinates were kidnapped and used as a tool to threaten her, what do you think she would do?"

"Abandon all those subordinates..."

Finny's eyes flashed with horror. After saying this, she finally came to her senses and understood what Guo Linglong was planning. His real purpose was to take advantage of the God of Destruction's act of 'abandoning his subordinates'!

"As soon as the God of Destruction makes a move, I will immediately move the hostages to a safe place, and then use my unparalleled eloquence to persuade them to stand behind me and oppose the God of Destruction. This is what I have been planning all along - when I have no cards to play, the enemy's trump card is also equivalent to my trump card."

Guo Linglong stood up, looked at the military base that was being taken hostage by him, and whispered: "With this move, the stronger the enemy is, the stronger I will become. Even if it is a trump card that God cannot match, I can forcibly take it away and use it myself, and even say to Him, "Wow, you fought well." Under normal circumstances, as long as this move works, the balance of victory will be infinitely tilted towards me, but this time I am not very sure."

"Not very sure?"

Finny bit his lip subconsciously and asked hurriedly, "What does this mean? Is there any flaw in this brilliant plan?"

"The biggest flaw is that it could be discovered by the God of Destruction."

After saying that, Guo Linglong paused and shook her head, "No, it's not possible, but it will definitely be discovered. That's why I keep emphasizing the importance of time. I hope she will discover it after my plan succeeds..."

Hearing this, Finny's heart beat violently.

If the power of nuclear fusion rubbing by the man's hands brought her a ray of golden hope before, then at this moment, the man's wisdom showed her a clear path to victory.

Let the God of Destruction 'betray' his subordinates, and then use this to make those abandoned subordinates stand on his side. This method of using the opponent's strength to defeat him is enough to eliminate the gap in strength between the two sides.

Her soul, which had long since died because of the power of the God of Destruction, was now revived and beating violently because of the emergence of this road of hope.

With the humble wish of only leaving behind the 'seeds', she also began to greedily hope that the God of Destruction would fall into the trap set by the man and save this already destroyed world.

But this road of hope is obviously full of black thorns and is not easy to walk on...

------------------

At this moment, on the other side, in a manor surrounded by green evil fire, the God of Destruction sat high up on the throne, looking down at the screen in front of him.

On the screen, the military base that originally belonged to her raised the flag of the Lion-Heron Kingdom. Next to the flag, there were several large characters, conveying the idea that the Lion-Heron Kingdom wanted to use these kidnapped hostages to negotiate with the gods.

Faced with this almost fantastic statement, Guo Shenling hesitated...

She actually hesitated!

Wu Dan looked at the merciless and inhuman God of Destruction in front of him in disbelief, and saw that he actually hesitated in the face of such an easily solvable problem.

If it were the usual Guo Shenling, she would have ordered the launch of a nuclear bomb with a blank expression on her face, killing all the useless tools and all living things in one swoop. Could it be that she miraculously had a change of heart?

"of course not……"

Like Guo Linglong, Guo Shenling, who read Wu Dan's inner thoughts directly from the air, said softly: "I just don't intend to step into such an obvious trap."

"trap?"

Wu Dan asked in doubt: "Where is the trap?"

"What the other person wants is for me to launch a nuclear bomb and wipe out everything without thinking."

Guo Shenling said with a nostalgic tone: "As long as I 'betray' my subordinates, he will exaggerate this behavior more than ten thousand times, and then incite my subordinates to set off a robot revolution and use my trump card for himself. Ha, I never thought that this trick I used more than two hundred years ago would be used on myself two hundred years later. What a pity..."

After all, time couldn't catch up.

Chapter 249: The Backhand

Wu Dan's heart sank infinitely...

As the male version of Guo Shenling from another world said, she had no choice. Although she had protected herself by lying for a thousand years, only by helping him fight the God of Destruction could she truly save the world.

But how easy is this? Before she could offer protection, Guo Shenling saw through Guo Linglong's plan. It was obvious that these two people had never met before, so why did they act like they knew everything about each other?

But even so, what needs to be done must be done...

Wu Dan stepped forward and asked in confusion, "Witch Lord, are you too cautious? Using your power to incite your subordinates to rebel... Aren't your subordinates just a bunch of iron machines? How can they be persuaded to rebel in their simple minds?"

"It is indeed more difficult to convince machines than humans, so he needs the powerful and shocking fact of 'I have abandoned the machine' to persuade him."

Guo Shenling said with great certainty: "As long as this fact exists, I feel that I can do it. I believe that the other me on the other side will act in this way only when I am 90% sure."

"Why are you so sure that the person opposite you who looks similar must be another you? It's ridiculous that there are two witch kings in this world."

Wu Dan asked depressedly, although it was true, but without any evidence, this guy was too determined!

"The fact that Adam, who was sent by me to test the other party's true identity, was defeated so quickly is itself a proof."

Guo Shenling waved her hand nonchalantly: "Since he wants to talk, then let's talk. Anyway, the 'fact' that I have the upper hand is not that easy to change. Once we have determined the other party's true purpose, it won't be too late to blow it up."

Should I say as expected?

Looking at the God of Destruction who refused to take a step forward to step into the trap, Wu Dan silently shook his fingers a few times and used magic to secretly inform Guo Linglong who was waiting for his news, and then bit his teeth to suppress his unwillingness.

This guy hasn't done anything conspiratorial or tricky for more than 200 years since he destroyed the world, so how come his mind is still so sharp?!

--------------------------

"Knew it……"

Seeing her fingers quickly dyed red by magic, Guo Linglong shook her head and said to the queen: "It's a pity that my plan has been discovered."

"How did you know?"

Looking at Guo Linglong who hadn't moved a step from the beginning, Finney asked in astonishment: "Aren't you staying here with me all the time?"

"I have planted an insider in the God of Destruction's place."

Guo Linglong replied perfunctorily, "The news just came from the inside that the God of Destruction has seen through my plan. She should have ruthlessly abandoned her subordinates without hesitation, but she doesn't plan to act now."

Finney was in no mood to ask Guo Linglong when and how she had planted the spy before the God of Destruction. She just said in a lost voice, "Really... I failed. As expected... I shouldn't have tasted the poison of hope in the first place."

Facing the queen who was about to be pulled to the forbidden line by despair because of the shattering of hope, Guo Linglong shrugged and said noncommittally: "It's a little early to say this now."

"What did you say?"

Finney stared at Guo Linglong blankly: "Didn't the plan fail because it was discovered by the God of Destruction?"

"Indeed, this plan has failed... But I left a backup plan before that."

As she spoke, Guo Linglong fumbled for the cell phone that was specially designed for this world, and then typed a text message and sent it over. Then she raised her head and looked in the direction of the God of Destruction in the distance and said, "It's just that the side effects of the back-up plan are a bit big. If possible, I don't want to use it at all."

While Finny was confused, in an open space in the Lion-Heron Kingdom, a red-haired beauty who had been on standby for a long time turned on her mobile phone, took a look at the text message with the words "take action" on it, and threw the phone to the ground viciously, stepped on it twice, and gritted her teeth.

Who does that arrogant man think I am? How dare he treat me like a servant!

but……

"After all, this is a life-saving favor. I'll do it this time, only this time. Don't let this one kill you!"

After dispersing all the mana that had been built in the sky in one breath, Xia squatted down panting, and looked at the giant missile that slowly appeared under the call of her magic "Symphony of Gunfire", and blasted it with all her strength into the distance.

The huge missile, driven by magic, dragged a long tail of flame in the night sky and rushed towards the target agreed upon by the two people - the military base of the God of Destruction.

--------------

On the throne of God, Guo Shenling, who was about to negotiate with another self, paused unconsciously, then turned around and whispered to Wu Dan: "Can the anti-aircraft machine guns around the military base be used now?"

Wu Dan was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and said, "If the anti-aircraft gun has not been dismantled by the enemy, it should be usable for a while."

"Then how long will it take for us to reach that place by launching detonating bombs from here?"

Guo Shenling asked again, and Wu Dan answered without hesitation: "About a minute. Witch King, why are you so anxious? Has something happened?"

Guo Shenling was disappointed to learn that he had no counter-attack power for the time being. Then he sat back on the throne, rubbed his temples and said, "It hasn't happened yet, but it will happen soon. Although I saw through that guy's trap, if he was me, he should have prepared a backup plan just in case... The military base will probably be blown up soon."

Wu Dan lowered his head to hide the ecstasy in his pupils... At the same time, he asked with a puzzled look: "That means... the other party's conspiracy succeeded?"

"Ah, his conspiracy is about to succeed. After the explosion of the military base, I abandoned my subordinates. This fabricated 'fact' will surely be exaggerated hundreds of times and used. This time, he has been completely tricked."

Although he had fallen into a trap, the God of Destruction's mouth corners were raised high.

"It seems that not having used my brain for more than two hundred years has indeed slowed my reaction. I didn't even guard against that guy's back-up plan in the first place... But the ending is far from being determined. This time I'm playing my own game, and it's just the beginning."

Chapter 450: Perfect Acting

After a thunderclap, a huge mushroom cloud rose from where Guo Linglong and the others had been...

The military base was destroyed by the explosion, and everything within a hundred miles was wiped out, leaving only a man-made sinkhole that was emitting terrifying heat.

Guo Linglong looked gloomy, looking at everything in front of her with frustration and regret. Then she said bitterly to Finny and the 'hostages' who were 'hardly' rescued behind Finny: "I was wrong. I underestimated the evil and power of the God of Destruction. I didn't expect that she could be so cruel that she would abandon her own people without mercy. My plan completely failed... My subordinates also stayed there forever because of my immaturity."

“Of course.”

Although only a head was left, Adam still made a sound of gnashing teeth: "I discovered a long time ago that for her who has already achieved the goal of destroying the world, our existence is just an unnecessary toy. Yes, I already knew it... But, what is this anger about?"

Flora, who was "rescued desperately" by Guo Linglong at the critical moment, supported Eva and looked at the sinkhole in front of her with a somewhat lost look. After a long while, she turned her head and looked at Guo Linglong and asked: "Your subordinates, could it be..."

"do not talk!"

Guo Linglong interrupted Flora's questioning with a sharp voice, then covered her face with her hands and said painfully: "This is not your fault."

I didn't say I was wrong?

Flora looked at the grief-stricken man in silence, feeling guilty for no reason. The man continued to suppress something, speaking word by word, "They all died because of my naivety. I naively thought that as long as I tied you up, I could negotiate with the God of Destruction and save this corrupt world... It was my naivety that ruined them."

Finny, who was watching the man's performance, lowered her head with a strange look on her face… If she hadn't known what the man was planning, she would have been fooled by the ups and downs of the speech. Listen to the crying voice, listen to the voice that suppressed pain and regret, look at the nails that were deeply embedded in his palms, how many times had he rehearsed this perfect performance?

"Hey! You managed to beat up my man, can you show some courage?"

Adam's head beside him shouted anxiously, "The God of Destruction is different from other villains. She will make the final move after the fact and make sure her opponent is dead. I guarantee that she is rushing towards here without stopping. If you want to survive, there is only one way... cooperate!"

"cooperate?"

Finney's eyes lit up and he quickly asked, "What does this mean?"

"It's obvious."

Adam said helplessly: "I no longer have a body, most of my energy has been used up, and the only thing of value to me, the 'hostage', is also useless. So obviously, I must rely on your strength to survive this catastrophe."

"You are so arrogant indeed."

Guo Linglong stood up and looked at Adam with an expression of suppressed anger. She gritted her teeth and said, "It has come to this point. Can't you put down your proud posture, lower your head, and say 'Please, please save me'?"

"It's not that time yet."

Adam looked directly at Guo Linglong without fear and said, "Although I am no longer useful as a hostage, I can help you convince some robots to rebel. Even though it is only a small number, it is something only I can do! Humans, make a decision!"

Guo Linglong hesitated immediately, and seeing that, a myriad of complex emotions surged through Finney's heart... If she didn't know the inside story, she would have thought that Adam was a pawn. Under Adam's persuasion, the wavering look on Flora's face was very obvious.

"Finny, take this mechanical head and run away, you guys should hurry up too."

Guo Linglong agreed to Adam's so-called cooperation with reluctance, and then began to drive people away.

"Hey, don't take it upon yourself."

Flora frowned and looked at Guo Linglong and said, "Why should I run away? The one who is about to come here is our boss."

Hearing this, Guo Linglong rolled her eyes and said, "Nonsense! If you don't run away, how can you make that woman who has seen through your plan want to kill you? Only if you cut off your own retreat will she stand on my side obediently."

After repeating the calculations in her mind, Guo Linglong said skillfully: "This is a very simple logic, Miss Flora. We have witnessed with our own eyes how cruel the God of Destruction is. In order to destroy me, she even abandoned her loyal subordinates... But 'she abandoned her subordinates' is a fact that only God, the earth, you and I know. As long as she can truly destroy us here, then she can deny the idea of ​​negotiation and hostages afterwards, and define your sacrifice as 'failure after a heroic battle with the enemy'. So do you understand?"

Hearing this, Flora's back was immediately covered in cold sweat...

If I go back alive, then word of the God of Destruction abandoning his subordinates will spread to the ears of other loyal people. Even if I promise the God of Destruction that I will never tell anyone, I believe she will not mind slitting her own neck to keep it secret.

Don't run away, stay here and gamble on the mercy of the God of Destruction to see if she is willing to believe that I will keep it a secret.

Escape, leave here, even if it means offending the God of Death, but if I run fast enough and hide well enough, maybe I still have a chance to survive...

After weighing the pros and cons, Flora made up her mind, helped her best friend up, and prepared to flee to the Lion-Heron Kingdom. However, before she took a few steps, she hesitated and stopped, looking at Guo Linglong who didn't move a step and asked, "Aren't you going to escape?"

"I'll buy you the time you need to escape."

As she spoke, Guo Linglong picked up a branch from the ground and drew a line between herself and Florafini and the others. Then she looked up at the flashing lines of fire in the sky. It was a missile rushing towards here, and on the missile, there was a familiar yet unfamiliar figure standing on it, looking at her from a distance.

"As long as I'm alive, she won't be able to cross this line, so you can go on your way with peace of mind. I will catch up with her later."

Flora looked in astonishment at the man who was planning to stay behind to cover their retreat, her face revealing a deep sense of confusion.

What gave this man the confidence and courage to successfully cover himself and others' retreat under the bombardment of chaos magic in front of the eyes of God?
