Chapter 1341: Chapter 888: Conqueror (2)
"Close the door."
George III commanded softly.
The windows of the study closed simultaneously. As the Sequence One of the Black Emperor path, manipulating and twisting rules was his forte!
The closure of the windows seemed to isolate the entire study from the outside world, creating a completely independent space, unaffected by the strange rules outside.
"To actively attack me, it is certainly not possible to be a weakling! Although there is something strange about the aura, there is an inexplicable sense of eeriness."
George III thought calmly to himself.
In terms of pure extraordinary aura alone, he felt that whether it was The Hanged Man or the Witch path, they seemed to be ordinary Angel Positions of Sequence 2, vastly different from Sequence One.
Yet, within this Sequence 2 aura, there were peculiar and mysterious elements that were too abnormal.
It felt like boiling excrement in a pot.
And with just one encounter, George III felt the threat within it.
Because his life-saving means, which originally allowed him to complete a swap with a Substitute, had lost connection and he was unable to escape!
For now, he could only temporarily block off this safe house...
But at this moment, he suddenly noticed the originally enclosed walls of the study space beginning to show mottled black marks, as if everything inside was decaying!
In dark corners, such as the corners of walls and under tables, shadows seemed to be spreading, attempting to devour the entire room!
The distortion of the Sequence One position did not manage to successfully block the opponent’s intrusion merely by ’closing the door’...
——
The continuous invasion of shadows did not surprise George III too much.
Compared to the previously world-shattering aura, this seemed almost logical.
Since the opponent chose to attack proactively, they would naturally be fully prepared.
George III casually picked up a bottle of ink from the desk, leisurely unscrewing the cap, and then poured the ink onto the floor.
[Usage] of [Distortion] authority began to stack up.
The flowing ink seemed to come alive, spreading rapidly from a single bottle, actively blending with the invading shadows as if becoming one, yet simultaneously redefining the essence of those shadows as ’ink.’
Although it quickly turned the entire safe house pitch black, the air was filled with the scent of ink.
The original eerie and corrosive feelings instantly diminished significantly.
"Your means are remarkable; may I have the pleasure of meeting you?"
George III paced in the dim room, his tone quite calm, as if issuing an invitation.
The Prince of Order Slaying was adept at finding various flaws and twisting order, and as long as there was a loophole in any wording, he could amplify and distort it to his advantage!
Under normal circumstances, going against the Prince of Order Slaying meant reducing such interactions as much as possible; the longer the contact, the easier it was for him to find a rule loophole.
However, upon hearing George III’s words, Tao Yu’s figure slowly emerged from the ink in the room.
The distorted ink seemed to have no effect on Tao Yu, gradually forming his image.
"Hmm, to meet, and then what?"
Tao Yu’s frank appearance, however, made George III feel somewhat serious.
The person before him gave an extremely bizarre feeling!
It felt as if the opponent was a complete chaos, utterly unordered and without any sense of rules!
Theoretically, how could something like this even speak?
Even an extraordinary being transformed into a monster would be more normal!
To the extreme of chaos is order?
No rules, so what’s left to use!
Completely immune!
This impact was as terrifying as discovering the fusion of the Witch path and The Hanged Man path earlier!
It seemed that with this revelation, the previous changes appeared quite ’normal’!
"I do not know why you wish to kill me, but I believe I have no conflict of interest with either The Hanged Man or the Witch path. If someone offered you benefits, then I think I can also provide them. Whatever you want, I can try my best to satisfy."
George III began to try persuasion through [bribery] methods.
Although unable to distort the opponent, he could indirectly exert influence on nearby space.
As long as the opponent agreed, weakening this spatial closure, he could immediately complete a switch with his Substitute!
Thereby escaping from here first!
Even though they had yet to clash, George III had no desire to confront such an eerie entity.
Even if the opponent was a Divine Favored of the Outer God, he wouldn’t be surprised!
Or rather, it’s the only possibility...
"Hmm, you can indeed pay the price for your life. What I want is the trait of the Conqueror. I heard you handed it to the Witch’s Church and intend to offer it to the Primeval Witch?"
Tao Yu’s words made George III pause for a moment, not expecting this to be the opponent’s demand.
He then pondered before saying,
"Indeed, it was used as payment, but I have already twisted its rule. In the absence of the Primeval Witch’s presence, unless she descends personally, the Sequence Two angels of the Witch’s Church cannot undo it, so before my God-making Ceremony concludes, the Conqueror trait is still under my watchful eye."
He paused again here before continuing,
"I can give it to you..., consider it the reward for ending the assassination."
Almost as George III’s words fell, especially at the word ’end.’
Even though it was just a promise, even though the thing was yet to be given, it seemed he had forcibly completed a ’trade,’ completed ’bribery.’
