Chapter 755 - 34: Is That So?
"What do you feel now, dear mice?"
Park Haoyu, whom they had met not long ago, stood in front, looking at the motionless Old Hong and Tu Shou, and asked with a faint smile.
Mockery, chaos, evil.
As if the embodiment of all malevolence.
This is what Old Hong felt at that moment.
He had heard of creatures like demons, as one of the legends most amplified by modern thought influences, it was hard for him not to have heard of them.
But he had only heard of them.
Due to the extreme exclusion of foreign species by Yellow Springs, attempting to create demon legends within its range was nothing but a pipe dream.
So.
At this moment.
This was the first time Old Hong and Tu Shou had witnessed a demon.
And thanks to the ’vessel’ of Park Haoyu, this demon was unlike ordinary legendary creatures who only acted according to rules.
He had his own thoughts, could even feel pleasure, and toyed with his prey.
It must be said, the sense of oppression brought by this was truly overwhelming.
At this moment, Tu Shou’s body was rigid, not knowing what to do.
Old Hong wasn’t much better off.
Because he had seen Park Haoyu not long ago, seeing a demon that looked exactly like him standing in front of him now always felt absurd.
As if it was reincarnation.
So when he heard the other ask what he was feeling at the moment, he had just one thought.
...Perhaps he should have poisoned him from the start.
Then maybe Park Haoyu wouldn’t be here now.
"Interesting."
The new ’Park Haoyu’ seemed to see through hearts.
Just as Tu Shou was entertaining the idea of poison.
He turned his head toward Tu Shou and, like a snake flicking its tongue, said: "Poison? I consider that part of regret too."
"..."
Tu Shou’s body tensed, the terror of having his heart laid bare and every thought known, swept over him instantly.
Facing that snake-like gaze, he couldn’t help but take a step back.
And the new ’Park Haoyu’, sensing the tangible fear, took a deep breath and showed an expression of enjoyment: "Yes, like this, such pure negative emotion."
Black mist began to seep from his body.
But unlike the existing mist in Yellow Springs, it couldn’t merge, seeming instead to have a tendency to repel and devour the original mist.
Old Hong saw this, his expression turned somewhat grim.
He knew what this represented.
It represented that the Goryeo Yellow Springs was undergoing a change of leadership.
Originally, Park Haoyu was a native Korean, although he wasn’t a descendant of the royal family or the clans.
But with a God of the highest rank from the Roman Catholic Church stepping in personally, and usurping Park Haoyu’s identity.
The fallen Great Angel before them had obviously taken control of the Goryeo Yellow Springs.
And had even started transforming the entire Yellow Springs.
While their fear... became his nourishment.
Though whether this had to do with their identity as Yellow Springs Mainstream inhabitants was unknown.
Clearly, the situation had become dire.
"It certainly is dire."
The fallen Great Angel once again turned his head, suddenly voicing Old Hong’s inner thoughts, with a faint smile: "Moreover, it is related to your identity as Yellow Springs Mainstream inhabitants, I must say, your timing is impeccable, just when I was thinking my territory wasn’t large enough.
You two vessels appeared, thanks to your fortune, you will take on another identity, becoming my pioneers in expanding territory.
You should feel honored, for you will witness me surpass the predecessor of Hell, becoming... the most powerful demon."
"..."
Upon hearing this, Old Hong forcibly suppressed his inner fear, took a deep breath, and stared at the demon before him: "Do you believe you can so easily proceed to Yellow Springs Mainstream as you do here in the Goryeo Branch?"
"You doubt me?"
The fallen Great Angel tilted his head with a faint smile: "Let me think... Celestial Strategy Mansion, correct? The memory of this body tells me, you’re from the Celestial Strategy Mansion, are you? The armed force of the Yellow Springs Mainstream?
This body seems very afraid of you, let me think of this source of fear... hmm, it’s quite hidden, Chen Lusi?
Celestial Strategy Mansion’s Celestial Strategy, Chen Lusi?
Is this where your confidence comes from?"
"..."
Old Hong’s hands and feet were cold.
Not only could he see through hearts, but he also possessed Park Haoyu’s memories and understood the Human World thoroughly.
This meant that the fallen Great Angel, different from other legendary creatures, could completely disguise and walk in the Human World.
Park Haoyu, the Roman Catholic Church... really created a monster.
But even so.
He still suppressed his rising fear by thinking of something else and said: "...Yes, Chen Tiance, I think not only the body you’ve taken but you should also fear."
"Me?"
The fallen Great Angel pointed at himself, not angry but showing an intrigued expression: "You may have suppressed the fear, but the confidence in your words is real, you really believe this.
You believe in Chen Lusi, which allows you to calmly converse with me now, doesn’t it?"
"..."
Old Hong didn’t speak, instead gathering his strength.
"It’s truly intriguing, such a person, how will they scare me, and why do they give you such confidence."
The fallen Great Angel didn’t mind, the playful look on his face intensified: "Hmm, I’ve decided, your fear and life, I’ll collect them later, this game of regret doesn’t need you, you may leave now.
I think keeping a witness might not be a bad thing, I believe letting you witness the collapse of everything and the fall of the God in your heart with your own eyes, will probably increase the despair."
