Chapter 621: Slaughtering God
The Multi-Mouthed Woman's figure was indistinguishable from an ordinary human female, but her entire body was covered in grotesque mouths with exposed fangs, constantly emitting eerie laughter. She wore a black kimono.
Legend has it that the Multi-Mouthed Woman would forcibly slice off her enemies' mouths and stitch them onto her body.
The more mouths she collected, the stronger her power became.
Even her two eyes were replaced with mouths, making her appearance exceptionally horrifying.
The Jade Bottle Man appeared thin and frail, but his facial features were handsome.
However, his lower half...
Was trapped inside a bottle, making him look like someone had turned him into a human doll and stuffed him into a container.
The Bloodthirsty Child resembled a young boy about 1.3 meters tall, with four eyes, two mouths, six ears, and four hands. He wore a red robe.
At this moment, the Bloodthirsty Child lifted a bowl of human blood from the table and drained it in one gulp. His grotesque face revealed an expression of satisfaction, as if savoring fine wine. He even let out a contented sigh, "Good drink."
Before the Multi-Mouthed Woman lay diced meat—its origin unmistakable to those who understood.
She used forks to feed the pieces to the mouths on her body.
Occasionally, she would loosen her clothing to feed a piece of meat to a hidden mouth in a private area.
In the eyes of ghosts, human morality was nonexistent.
The Jade Bottle Man used telekinesis to direct the meat into his mouth.
As for the highest-ranked and most powerful Slaughtering God, he held two dried, roasted corpses, sprinkling spices over them before taking large bites.
The scene was utterly terrifying and grotesque.
Yet to these malevolent ghosts...
It was entirely normal.
They consumed humans.
Just as humans consumed livestock.
"Lord Slaughtering God, why didn't you let your subordinates lead the charge in tonight's raid? We could've caught those allied forces off guard!"
At this moment.
The Bloodthirsty Child, after finishing his bowl of "wine," respectfully turned to the feasting Slaughtering God.
The Multi-Mouthed Woman and Jade Bottle Man remained silent but curiously looked toward Slaughtering God.
"You don't understand…"
"As a Dragon Kingdom proverb says, 'Better safe than sorry.'"
"Tonight's raid was merely to frighten those fools and buy some time."
"The real purpose is to relocate the core ghost nest of Drak City!"
"I hadn't expected the typically cautious allied forces to dare launch an airborne assault on the eastern region. To be safe, we'll relocate the core ghost nest first and then toy with them properly!"
Slaughtering God spoke calmly.
Despite the composed tone,
The confidence in his voice revealed his faith in his plans and strategies.
"I see. Lord Slaughtering God is truly both wise and courageous! If you ask me, your rank among the Heavenly Ghost Generals should rise higher," said the Bloodthirsty Child with a sly laugh.
Hearing this, Slaughtering God's eyes lit up slightly before he burst into laughter, "You're right! But once this mission is complete, I will surely be rewarded. My strength will grow, and my rank will naturally rise!"
"Once I make it into the top ten, I will finally have the qualifications to ascend to the Upper Realm and meet the Ghost Lord!"
As his words fell.
The three subordinate ghost generals' expressions brightened.
The Upper Realm!
It was where they were born!
Yet it was also the place they could no longer return to!
The Upper Realm was incomparably superior to the Lower Realm!
There, even the weakest beings were at least Level 150!
But even they were the lowest tier of existence.
Every monster in the forbidden zone yearned for the Upper Realm.
They were completely subservient to the entities that ruled over them.
"Work hard, and you'll make it."
At this moment, the Jade Bottle Man spoke with a smile.
The Multi-Mouthed Woman continued meticulously feeding her mouths, utterly focused.
Just as the four ghost generals were enjoying their meal.
Suddenly…
A ghostly eye floated into the flesh-and-blood city and hovered before them.
Buzz!!
The next second…
A holographic image appeared before the ghost generals.
In the projection, Drak City was shown writhing deeper into the eastern region. Yet, in the sky above, thousands of figures descended!
Seeing this.
Swish!!
The previously relaxed ghost generals' faces instantly turned to shock!
"Not good!! The allied forces are counterattacking at night!"
The Bloodthirsty Child immediately exclaimed.
His voice was hoarse, like a broken wind instrument, grating on the ears.
Bang!
Slaughtering God immediately stood up. The Level 100+ entity merely waved his hand, and a rift materialized!
The Multi-Mouthed Woman, Jade Bottle Man, and Bloodthirsty Child stepped through without hesitation.
As for Slaughtering God…
He remained still, sending only a magic eye to follow them.
Even now, despite the unforeseen turn of events, Slaughtering God remained extremely cautious. He did not personally intervene but dispatched his three subordinates.
He knew that if he showed himself, the Dragon Kingdom's General Li would undoubtedly appear.
He stood no chance against General Li.
While forbidden zone elites were generally stronger than their equal-leveled adversaries, exceptions existed.
Someone like General Li, whose level surpassed his own, was intimidating even if their levels matched.
Adhering to the ancient proverb he held dear:
Better safe than sorry.
Extreme caution ensured longevity!
Should he risk confronting General Li only to fall victim to a trap, the loss would be incalculable.
He resolved to spectate the battle from afar.
...
...
Meanwhile.
Drak City.
From afar, dozens of towering Mountain-Eating Ghosts, each over a hundred meters tall, could be seen hauling massive iron chains, laboriously dragging an enormous city.
The key detail was…
Despite the movement, apart from the rattling of chains, there was no sound of ground friction!
Mountain-Eating Ghosts.
Were capable of more than devouring mountains.
They could move mountains as well.
When they cast their mountain-moving spell, the city's foundation merged entirely with the ground. As they pulled, the city moved like a duck swimming silently across a river, devoid of frictional noise, as if the ground and city had become one.
"As expected!!"
"Commander Ling's prediction was spot on. Slaughtering God truly intended to relocate Drak City!"
Upon witnessing the Mountain-Eating Ghosts' actions, the reserve squad members immediately grasped the situation.
At this rate of relocation, they would not reach their destination until midday tomorrow.
No wonder Slaughtering God was willing to sacrifice so many ghost minions—it was merely a ploy to delay the allied forces' mobilization.
