Chapter 1574: Chapter 504: Being an Undercover Agent Is Hard Enough—Why Get Beaten Up When Wrapping Things Up? (Part 3)
The demigods could not sense the illusion. Both Grew and Saine simultaneously experienced hallucinations, seeing the gigantic shadow of a Goddess stretching from heaven to earth behind Wayne.
Grew shook his head to dispel the illusion, smiling bitterly, “Of course, I know you. I once extended an invitation to you, but you rejected it.”
“So, then, why did you invite me?”
Wayne showed a playful smile, “You must know, at that time, I was already marked by death, destined to become a Death Knight. You, who betrayed the Goddess, chose not to kill me. This question puzzled me for a long time.”
Grew frowned deeply, refusing to answer the question, instead saying, “Wayne, where did you obtain such immense power? Saine willingly entrusted her authority to you… I know her character very well, did you truly defeat her with your own strength?”
“What else? Would she obediently listen if I didn’t knock her to her knees and strip her dignity?” Wayne retorted.
“That’s true enough.”
Grew nodded in agreement.
For a moment, her killing intent towards Grew surged, sending a telepathic transmission, asking Wayne to kill the traitor immediately and not give him a chance to argue.
Wayne ignored it, always believing Grew was an infiltrator. Today, he must ask face-to-face.
Grew didn’t know how to describe it, incredulously saying, “It’s been less than two and a half years since I last saw you. Why have you become so powerful? I remember clearly, back then you were an ordinary person. Even if you obtained the Shadowmare, you shouldn’t have grown so quickly.”
“The Goddess! It’s the Goddess!”
Wayne raised the Shadowmare, mimicking the lines he had used with Saine, “I have been favored by the Goddess, growing stronger day by day. In Hades, armed with the Shadowmare, I am invincible. Even if you traitors have stolen the authority of Hades, you are no match for me.”
Grew said nothing, casting a look of patronizing sympathy.
This talk could fool demigods, but to use it on the Subsidiary Gods… it’s laughable. Surely, no Subsidiary God would believe it, right?
But indeed, Saine believed deeply without a doubt.
Wayne returned a similar look to Grew, laughing, “Grew, Saine has received a Divine Decree from the Goddess. She will become the next Goddess of Death. I too have received a Divine Decree from the Goddess. I am to enter the Divine Nation, gather the authority and awaken her. What about you, what is your Divine Decree?”
Grew’s expression tightened, not immediately answering.
“As expected, compared to Saine, the Goddess trusts you more. You know more.”
Wayne’s smile unchanged, as if he had known all along, “Tell me, what role do you play in the Goddess’s script?”
“I don’t know what you’re talking about!”
Grew’s face turned cold, “You’ve obtained the authority of Hades; you are my greatest enemy. If you want to fight, then fight. Stop wasting words here.”
“Really, just a moment ago, you said Xizor was the number one enemy.”
Perhaps the smile on Grew’s face vanished, Wayne’s smile broadened, slowly saying, “Dark Knight, lucky Ancient Silver Coin, Black Cat, can you explain them to me?”
Grew’s face stiffened, swallowing harshly, “The Black Cat… where is it, what have you done?”
“Why are you so worried, aren’t you the traitor?”
Wayne raised a hand and tapped his right eye, releasing a strand of Aztemo’s thought essence, “Grew, your priority task is above Saine’s, my priority task is above yours. Or, to put it another way, you are part of my task, does that make sense to you?”
“I guess… I understand a little.”
Grew’s aura quickly diminished, shaking his head repeatedly, “There’s no need to fight, whatever you want to know or obtain, I can give you…”
“We have two enemies; you’ve already subdued Saine. Now only Xizor remains. He’s different; he’s the real traitor.”
“No.” Wayne decisively denied.
“What, Xizor also has a task higher than Saine?”
Grew was immensely surprised, realizing that none of the three Subsidiary Gods were traitors, they were all on the same side after all.
If that’s the case, he could only say that Xizor’s acting skills were top-notch, playing the traitor so well it seemed real.
“No, what I mean is, since we’re here, we must fight. What I want to know, what I want to obtain, I will use the Shadowmare to take, regardless of whether you agree or not.” Wayne raised his sword before his chest.
There was only a 99.9% chance that Grew was the infiltrator, with a 0.1% chance he was the traitor and mastermind behind the scenes. To be safe, he must force him into submission, begging for mercy.
Just like with Saine, Wayne wouldn’t feel at ease until Grew posed no threat at all.
“Is this really necessary? You know I am not a traitor. I didn’t even attack you back then…”
Grew shook his head repeatedly; times had changed, Wayne was no longer the ordinary person from two years ago.
Even in a whiteboard state, he had beaten Saine. After obtaining the authority of Hades, his strength must have multiplied many times over, and he’d have to be crazy to seek a beating for no reason.
It would hurt so much!
“Grew, this is the task given to me by the Goddess, I must defeat you all!” Wayne looked serious, presenting the ever-effective banner.
“A Divine Decree?” Check latest chapters at n0velfire.net
Grew muttered, if that was the case, then this beating was a must.
Even if it was just a formality, Wayne must defeat him head-on.
Thinking of this, Grew nodded, shouting “I am the God of Death” as he swung his fists towards Wayne.
Grew took a punch to the face, spiraling down from high altitude, accelerating halfway, plunging into the glacial abyss with a roar, embedding himself a hundred meters deep.
Wayne shook his head repeatedly, packed away the Shadowmare, and teleported to the bottom of the abyss, dishing out a barrage to Grew, who was only receiving blows without fighting back.
