Chapter 124: Slapping One's Own Face

Kamiyu wasn’t making baseless guesses or wrongfully accusing Priest An Dao.

Earlier, when she was wildly unleashing skills and frantically electrocuting and punishing those Aberrant Beast Demons, she suddenly felt a surge of heat in her chest.

The Octahedral Crystal, already loaded with one-third of Hatred Power, heated up intensely to alert Kamiyu.

The Octahedral Crystal floated up directly, pointing toward the direction of the Holy Light Cathedral.

She quickly looked through her scope, and what she saw was astonishing. She discovered An Dao releasing a shadow-like monster that swallowed everyone else in the room.

This sight sent a chill down Kamiyu’s spine—she witnessed An Dao killing human Players on the spot.

Although killing was common on the Crimson Earth, An Dao’s actions were clearly different. He was killing his own people, obviously scheming and plotting.

Then, Kamiyu sought confirmation from Li Changde.

Now everything became clear. The reason Lei Yao’s side hadn’t been attacked by Aberrant Beast Demons was because Lei Yao was colluding with An Dao and knew how to control the Aberrant Beast Demons.

Those previous Hell Tides weren’t natural events or disasters but man-made calamities!

Someone wanted to use the Hell Army to breach Kaijistan, invade the World, and rule the Real World.

Kamiyu clenched the gun in her hand in shock. In an instant, she realized her own insignificance.

While others were plotting to rule the entire World, she had been smugly satisfied just for killing Aberrant Beast Demons, leveling up a bit, and earning a few points.

Kamiyu thought to herself that now that she knew the underlying story, she was no longer kept in the dark.

She decided to cause trouble and disrupt their plans.

Since the Aberrant Beast Demons avoided Lei Yao’s Sanctuary and only attacked from these three directions, she would have someone lure the Aberrant Beast Demons over to their side.

Kamiyu looked at Jack, who had been “scavenging” outside the northern city gate, and said, “It’s time to show your true strength, Jack.”

Soon after, Jack also climbed the high tower, and the three of them discussed their counterplan.

After hearing the whole story, Jack remained calm.

“Hey, aren’t you surprised? The big Demon King is right behind us,” Kamiyu said, turning her back to the Holy Light Cathedral.

Only the three of them knew about An Dao’s scheming.

Jack calmly replied, “There are too many greedy people in this World. The one in the cathedral is just a bit more capable, that’s all.”

Kamiyu thought to herself, “Wow, do you have to act so much like a transcendent master? The one in the cathedral isn’t just ‘a bit more capable’—he’s extremely powerful. He’s a max-level, 50-year-old monster.”

“Tell me, what do you want me to do?” Jack asked.

“Take this Armor. If it breaks, replace it—no need to cherish it. Lure the Aberrant Beast Demons to Lei Yao’s Sanctuary. I want them to taste what it’s like to be surrounded by Aberrant Beast Demons,” Kamiyu said with a mischievous smile.

Jack frowned. “But you clearly have the ability to one-shot Aberrant Beast Demons. If I lure them over, won’t we waste all those points?

We still need over a hundred thousand points to exchange for the Altar of Lilith.”

Li Changde also advised, “That’s right. Even 1 point is precious. What if Lei Yao and his people Kill the Aberrant Beast Demons?”

“Hahahaha, this is exactly the effect I wanted.

Now that we know Lei Yao and An Dao are summoning the Hell Tide, these Aberrant Beast Demons are Lei Yao’s troops, his assets.”

While Jack’s little brain was still slowly processing, Li Changde slapped his thigh excitedly and said, “I understand now, Lady Kamiyu. What a brilliant plan.”

Looking at Jack’s flushed face, Kamiyu said, “Can’t play the aloof expert this time, can you? Seeing your pure and kind-hearted look, you just can’t figure it out. Let me explain.”

“I want them to fight among themselves,” Kamiyu summarized in one sentence.

Now Jack understood.

The Aberrant Beast Demons were things created by Lei Yao and An Dao. Judging by how the Hell Tide came once every month or two, summoning, driving the Hell Tide, and controlling the Aberrant Beast Demons must come at a great cost.

“Look, there are only scattered Aberrant Beast Demons over at Lei Yao’s side, and their Sanctuary isn’t taking action to deal with them. It’s not that they don’t dare or can’t—it’s that they’re unwilling. Lei Yao paid a huge price to summon these Aberrant Beast Demons. Every time one is destroyed, it must pain him greatly.

So, if I have the Aberrant Beast Demons surround his Sanctuary, if he wants to come out and attack Kaijistan, he’ll have to destroy the Aberrant Beast Demons he summoned himself. That’s like slapping his own face, lifting a rock only to drop it on his own foot.

This way, Lei Yao is damned if he does and damned if he doesn’t.

What I want is to annoy him, to make him uncomfortable.

That way, we can focus on defending the other three directions without worry.

As for points, you said I can instantly kill monsters. When the time comes, give me a signal, and I’ll immediately go deal with the Aberrant Beasts besieging Lei Yao’s Sanctuary.

Even if Lei Yao steels his heart and actually comes out, wanting Heavenly Father Points, I won’t give him a single point.”

“Whew.” After hearing Kamiyu’s long-winded plan, Li Changde felt immense admiration in his heart.

Kamiyu wasn’t just good-looking.

Her mind was incredibly sharp, especially when it came to annoying others. She always came up with all sorts of devious ideas to mess with people.

Back then, Jack had suffered greatly from this—a single small knife had sent him spinning in circles.

Jack took a deep breath. So there were so many twists and turns behind all this. He really couldn’t underestimate this little pink-haired girl in front of him. Besides her overwhelming strength, her intelligence and wisdom were also formidable.

“Alright, later, lure the Aberrant Beast Demons from the northern battlefield to Lei Yao’s Sanctuary. I also made you several pairs of shoes with triple Movement Speed. Wear them as you please—if they break, just change them.

The goal is to run around, pulling most of the Demon Beasts from the northern battlefield over to Lei Yao’s Sanctuary. I’ll focus on taking care of the eastern and southern battlefields.”

The two nodded, and Kamiyu followed them down from the northern tower, walking up to the southern tower.

After receiving the supplies from Kamiyu, Jack looked at her deeply, muttering something under his breath: “Brother entrusted money and miscellaneous items…”

Then, wearing the triple-speed shoes, he dashed toward the northern battlefield.

During the gap after the first wave ended and before the second wave of attacks arrived, the captains from the three directions gathered the Spoils of War and points onto Li Changde, who then transferred these points and Spoils of War to Kamiyu.

“Several thousand Potions were consumed, over a dozen pieces of Armor were damaged. Thankfully, there were no casualties,” Li Changde reported.

“I still need 120,000 points to exchange for the Altar of Lilith. At an average of level 20, that means I have to eliminate 6,000 more Aberrant Beast Demons.” Kamiyu counted the points Li Changde had transferred to her, along with those she had earned from killing Aberrant Beast Demons herself.

“Enhancement, I must enhance further, to beat those Aberrant Beast Demons into S-rank.” Kamiyu clenched her fist.
