Chapter: Chapter 366
WHOOSH, BANG BANG BANG!
In a wasteland on the outskirts of Central City, two figures transformed into shadows, colliding with each other at extreme speed. The surrounding trees were broken by the aftershocks of their battle, resembling the arrival of doomsday.
A small orange catgirl stood in the distance, staring intently at the two entangled individuals. She felt like she had learned a lot, yet also felt like she had learned nothing.
The combat techniques were extremely exquisite, but the catgirl sadly discovered that she didn’t seem to have the physical fitness of the two on the field. Her hardware was completely insufficient.
“My goodness, can combat ability increase so absurdly after switching bodies?” After exchanging a punch with Silver again, Leticia hurriedly pulled away, raising her hands to indicate that she couldn’t fight anymore. “I feel like it’s not even on the same level as last time.”
Last time, Leticia had easily defeated Silver. But now, as soon as Silver switched to a new body, Leticia was completely suppressed, which was simply unacceptable to the proud Demon King.
Although she hadn’t used her most proficient magic, Silver also hadn’t used her spatial abilities. The two of them were just clashing with their purest physical abilities.
Oh, Leticia had used magic to enhance her physical fitness. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have had the ability to fight evenly with the monster Silver, who was using an extremely modified body.
“The quality of this body is too high. The physical strength has increased by at least several levels compared to before. Your work is excellent,” Silver said with a happy look at her fair arms. With her previous body, she would have coughed up a mouthful of blood after fighting for a while, but now, she even felt somewhat unsatisfied.
‘Little sister, you’re so weak. I haven’t even had my fill of fighting yet,’ Silver was thinking this at the moment.
“Can you add more money then?” Leticia sat down on the ground ungracefully and immediately asked.
Silver chuckled, her cat tail swaying slowly behind her. “No, I’m already bankrupt.”
“Someone like you can go bankrupt? Can’t you just make money by doing some bad things?” Leticia didn’t believe Silver’s nonsense. As everyone knows, bad people may lack anything, but they will never lack money.
After all, if you want to make money, just take a look at a criminal law book and you can find plenty of methods, right?
Since they are bad people anyway, it’s normal to do some illegal things, right? No one will care, right?
Unlike Leticia, who is still a good character, she has to honestly complete missions for the Hero Association to make money. She can’t do bad things, and she has to earn extra money stealthily. It’s really too frustrating.
“The money earned from doing bad things isn’t much either. Besides, where can you find so many bad things to do?” Silver sighed, indicating that being a bad person isn’t easy either. The underlings she has, these cats and dogs, can’t do anything big.
The previous bank robbery was also due to borrowing the influence of others. Now that the organization has gone into hiding like a turtle, Silver and her group have lost a significant source of income.
So, as a cute and charming villain, Silver is also short of money now. Can’t you see that the little catgirl can only eat instant noodles?
In this day and age, no one has an easy life.
The two looked at each other and sighed in unison. Why did they, the gods, live such stifled lives?
“By the way, don’t you plan to hold the unsealing ritual? Are you unable to find the key or don’t want to come out?”
“I had already prepared more than half of the ritual, but you know what happened afterward, right?” A resentful expression appeared on Silver’s face. She clenched her fist and said coldly, “Sooner or later, I will throw the homes of those blasphemers into the spatial turbulence.”
At that time, she had truly seen hope for freedom. As long as she had a little more time, she could successfully perform the ritual and gain true freedom. But those damned blasphemers had ruthlessly shattered her perfect plan.
The key was snatched away by those blasphemers, and the prepared ritual materials were reduced to ashes. When Silver escaped, all she could bring with her were a group of loyal organization members who hadn’t given up hope, and a few spare bodies.
To be precise, Silver and her subordinates were not united in their hearts. Silver’s goal had always been only one: to gain true freedom. She never cared about rebuilding the organization. How could a god be constrained by mortal thoughts?
She is currently mixed with those people simply because they still need each other. If there is a conflict of interest between them one day, it is foreseeable that they will turn against each other.
“Now, the only one who is truly considered one of us is her,” Silver pointed at the catgirl and said to Leticia. “In such a situation, it is too difficult to re-prepare the resources needed for the unsealing ritual.”
Not to mention the key, just that pile of extremely precious materials is enough to give Silver a headache. Before, she had an entire organization to run errands for her, but now she is alone.
Unlike Leticia, whose unsealing only requires energy and a key, which makes Silver so envious that she wants to bite her handkerchief.
The unsealing ritual for each god requires different things. Besides the key, which everyone needs, the other items are very random.
For example, Leticia’s ancestors needed mostly specialties from the beastmen to be unsealed. Well, who knows why a demon god needed beastmen specialties to be unsealed.
Silver didn’t have such extreme requirements, or rather, she was even more miserable. The materials she needed for unsealing were spread across various worlds, and she had to visit them all to have a chance to collect them. Yes, this was just a chance, and some materials depended on luck to collect.
Compared to these two, Leticia immediately felt that her unsealing ritual was much simpler. It didn’t require any materials; all she needed was the key and energy, as if she had been blessed by heaven, which had prepared a simple mode unsealing ritual for her.
So, look at the pitiable Dream God. Her unsealing ritual was very simple, only requiring about a month of preparation time to gain freedom. Unfortunately, just before success, she encountered the protagonist group and was successfully defeated, her entire strength becoming a wedding dress for others.
“Then I have a high chance of becoming the first god to gain freedom?” Leticia chuckled happily.
Then her head was hit hard by Silver’s tail. “I really don’t know why your luck is so good. Is it because your strength is too low, so the ritual difficulty is also low?”
“Hey, I’m very strong, don’t look down on me!”
Although she retorted verbally, Leticia also knew that what Silver said was not unreasonable. Her strength was indeed much inferior to these old antiques who had lived for who knows how many years. Even if the seal on her was removed, would she be able to soar to the sky?
It’s impossible to think about it. No matter which god discussed unsealing, they used the description of “gaining freedom.” If unsealing could also enhance their combat power, they would have said so long ago.
Of course, after gaining freedom, combat power would definitely increase. At least they wouldn’t be confined to a small area, right? For example, Silver, her main body would definitely be much more powerful than the current replaceable body she is using.
But what Leticia is using now is her own main body. Even if she unseals her own seal, it will only allow her to move around freely.
“So I really envy you. The method of unsealing is actually so simple. I can’t envy you enough.” Silver moved her newly acquired body, saying enviously and jealously.
“Hehehe, but it will still take me some time to gather enough energy. I’ll need your help to cover for me then.”
“Don’t worry, with my current combat power, there are very few people in this city who can break through my defense. As long as you prepare a few spare bodies for me, I guarantee that no one will disturb your unsealing ritual.” Silver patted her chest confidently. She wasn’t afraid of death. If she died, she would just change bodies. Let’s see if her bodies are more numerous or the troublemakers are more numerous.
“That’s good…” Leticia wanted to chat with Silver about other things when the phone in her arms suddenly rang.
She took out her phone and saw that it was Xiao Lv calling. Leticia’s expression stiffened, and she winked at Silver, signaling her to be quiet.
“Hello? Xiao Lv, why are you calling me now? Is something wrong?” Leticia answered the phone, asking in a cute, professional voice.
Xiao Lv on the other end was clearly disgusted by Leticia’s voice. After a while, Xiao Lv’s resentful voice came from the receiver: “Be normal, my dear Qianqian. Do you have time now? There’s an urgent mission that might require your deployment.”
Urgent mission? Ask her to deploy at this time? Leticia looked at the time with a confused expression. It was almost 4 PM. “What happened?”
“It’s quite complicated and can’t be explained clearly over the phone. If you have time, come to headquarters. I have some new equipment for you.” Xiao Lv seemed to be busy, and occasionally Leticia could hear her using her full voice to yell at the association staff.
New equipment? But with her strength, she probably doesn’t need any equipment, right? Leticia was confident in her combat power. As long as she didn’t encounter a wild god, she, Leticia, was invincible in this world.
However, it’s still good to get something for free. Maybe she could even take it apart and do some reverse engineering, like creating new equipment specifically for demons.
“I have time, is it urgent?”
“Not very urgent. The action starts in an hour.”
An hour?! Isn’t that super urgent? Leticia didn’t know what to say. If she were at home now, it would take her several hours to drive to headquarters, and even flying would take half an hour!
“So, can’t you notify me earlier?”
“It has to be kept confidential. The higher-ups are taking this operation quite seriously,” Xiao Lv’s voice conveyed a hint of helplessness. She had only learned about this mission not long ago. “The participants in this mission are all S-class heroes, but you won’t communicate with each other; you’ll be fighting individually.”
Fighting individually? Leticia smelled a conspiracy. Why fight individually? The Hero Association loved to use human wave tactics. Wouldn’t it be the best way to overwhelm the target with S-class heroes?
After thinking hard, Leticia couldn’t find an answer, so she hung up the phone. Then she sent a message to Bai Ling explaining her situation and telling her that she might not be able to go back for dinner.
Miss Bai’s reply was extremely fast, as if her phone was right in her hand.
Looking at the ‘Okay’ on the screen, Leticia twitched her mouth. Why was this guy acting so aloof in front of her? It’s as if she didn’t know that this guy was actually a large white dog in real life.
“Silver, can you send me to the Hero Association headquarters?” Leticia turned her head and shouted to Silver.
She hadn’t left a spatial coordinate at the Hero Association, so teleporting there was very difficult. As for flying over, it was certainly possible, but it would require a lot of effort.
Since Silver was right beside her, Leticia thought she would be lazy.
“Oh, I know this place. Teleport to the main entrance?” Glancing at the map, Silver indicated that such a small matter was easy. She was even confident in precise teleportation.
“No, no, no, teleport to the street next door. I’ll walk over myself,” Leticia quickly said. If she, a living person, suddenly appeared at the main entrance of the Hero Association, it would be a huge mess.
It’s better to walk over honestly.
Silver nodded and gently patted Leticia’s shoulder with her hand.
A silver light flashed before her eyes, and the scenery in front of Leticia had changed. In the blink of an eye, Silver had sent her from the suburbs to the vicinity of the Hero Association. Such terrifying spatial magic made people marvel that Silver was indeed a god who controlled space. No wonder she could escape from the siege of deities.
It’s simply impossible to capture a god who can flash around at will!
Unless her body is gone and she can only stay obediently in her divine artifact, no one in this world can catch Silver if she wants to escape.
Alas, why are other people’s skills so cool, while hers can only be used for some sneaky little schemes? Leticia sighed, feeling a little dissatisfied with her dream authority.
In terms of lethality to ordinary people, she had indeed reached the maximum. But is it necessary to use the power of dreams to deal with ordinary people? Wouldn’t it be stronger if she directly cast a meteorite?
As for dealing with other masters, this authority is not of much use either. For example, Miss Bai, if Miss Bai were determined to resist, the difficulty of making her lost in dreams would not be lower than defeating her in reality.
The only advantage of defeating her using dream methods is that she can recover some costs, turning her into a large charging treasure.
While complaining about her abilities, Leticia walked into the Hero Association headquarters, where she skillfully found Xiao Lv, who was hiding in the office.
