Chapter 470: The Spirit Within the Artifact.
[What?!]
[The Void Terminal can actually steal people's memories?!]
[This is terrifying!]
[I knew that Bai Yue was up to no good!]
[Does this mean no one has any secrets anymore?!]
[This is beyond terrifying!]
The livestream audience was shocked. No one wanted their privacy invaded, especially in such a silent, undetectable way. Just imagining that their deepest secrets things they would rather die than reveal were being exposed made people furious.
To them, Bai Yue was undoubtedly the ultimate villain and deserved to die for his sins.
In the video:
Bai Yue remained unfazed, continuing his plan without hesitation.
The longer people used the Void Terminal, the deeper the invasion of their souls.
Eventually, even if they removed the device, it wouldn't matter their souls would already be permanently bound to the planet's core.
Once the binding was complete, Bai Yue could manipulate humanity's thoughts at will.
He could modify their memories, erase negative traits, and even reverse their moral compass.
And more importantly…
He could use the collective intelligence of all people to assist his research, allowing him to explore the mysteries of existence.
Perhaps, with this power, he could even break through to the level of a Creator God!
[So that's his real goal, isn't it?]
[He wants to use the knowledge of all people to become a Creator God!]
[All that talk about purging "evil" is just an excuse! He probably even convinced himself it was true!]
[Bai Yue is definitely the ultimate villain!]
[I don't think so… Bai Yue doesn't seem like that kind of person. In fact, if humanity had someone like him leading them, wouldn't the world be a better place?]
[I wouldn't be so sure about that…]
The audience was divided.
Most saw Bai Yue as an ambitious tyrant, using the battle against evil as a justification for his own rise to power.
A smaller group, however, saw him as a true selfless leader who genuinely wanted to improve humanity.
Both sides refused to back down, leading to heated debates in the chat.
In the video:
The Void Terminal's spread continued smoothly.
By now, nearly 90% of the world's population was using it, with only a small minority refusing due to suspicion or caution.
If this continued, Bai Yue's plan would undoubtedly succeed.
However…
"No secret stays hidden forever."
And the Void Terminal's true nature was not without flaws there were always people smart enough to see through its deception.
Once Bai Yue's true plan was exposed, the world turned against him.
Realizing the danger, the remaining three God Kings Silver Dragon King, Neptune, and Sun Zhongjing moved to stop him.
They surrounded Bai Yue, cutting off all escape routes.
"Bai Yue, your plan is insane." Neptune, holding his trident, spoke with a sigh. "There's still time to stop this."
Neptune and Sun Zhongjing were both Peak God Kings, equal to Bai Yue in strength.
Meanwhile, Silver Dragon King was a Half Step Creator God, far stronger than any of them.
Normally, the three of them together would have easily defeated Bai Yue.
However…
Bai Yue possessed two of the most powerful artifacts in existence the Twin Creator Artifacts left to him by his foster father, Ye Cheng.
Even though he could only use a fraction of their power, these artifacts alone were enough to tip the balance.
For now, the three God Kings hesitated to act.
First, Bai Yue had been a loyal ally for years, dedicating himself to the well being of the people. They did not want to fight him unless absolutely necessary.
Second, they knew how dangerous the Creator Artifacts were. Even though Bai Yue was weaker than them individually, those artifacts made victory uncertain.
So, they tried to reason with him first.
Bai Yue, however, remained calm.
He shook his head, eyes filled with determination.
"I know exactly what I'm doing," he said. "And I understand the consequences."
"If you wish to stop me, then show me your strength."
BOOM!
A terrifying wave of power erupted, shaking space itself.
Two divine artifacts materialized at Bai Yue's sides one towering and majestic, the other sharp and radiant, exuding an undeniable aura of divine power.
The three God Kings exchanged glances.
Realizing Bai Yue was unwilling to back down, they knew they had no choice but to fight.
They did not wish for this battle but they could not allow Bai Yue's plan to succeed.
With grim determination, the three unleashed their power, causing the space around them to crack and distort.
The battle had begun.
BOOM!!!
The four God Kings clashed, their battle tearing through space itself.
Their attacks shattered the sky, illuminating the battlefield in a storm of divine energy.
Bai Yue, despite being outnumbered, held his own.
His two Creator Artifacts allowed him to match the combined might of his three opponents.
In fact…
He was starting to gain the upper hand.
Even Silver Dragon King, the strongest among them, felt overwhelmed by the power of the artifacts.
Then…
Just as Bai Yue's sword was about to strike Silver Dragon King, something unexpected happened.
HUMMMMMM!!!
The sword trembled violently, emitting a strange, resonating hum.
Then, without warning
It stopped.
Mid air.
Unmoving.
No matter how much Bai Yue tried to control it… the sword refused to move.
