Surviving The Fourth Calamity

”Asmodeus’s first attack might have been a bit too forceful, don’t you think?” ’Perfect Bald’ laughed. ”Later, he was just cautiously testing.

Unfortunately, according to Hill, unless he can completely eliminate his own dark nature, it’s absolutely impossible for him to succeed.

Hmm... Hmm?”

’Snow Cloud Peak’ gently interrupted him: ”Sometimes, it’s best not to speak too soon; even if you have thoughts, keep them to yourself. This place might not be so safe.”

’Perfect Bald’ pointed at Lily: ”With Sister Lily here, how could any Little Bug possibly survive anywhere?”

Lily, hanging on the back of the sofa, twisted happily and suddenly burst into a few silver bells, emitting a fresh fragrance.

”Ha~ but as long as we don’t activate the Isolation Array, we aren’t soundproof!” ’Snow Cloud Peak’ curled his lips, ”Even if we can create Night Butterflies and watch her mate with the Worm Mage, what can’t be done?

The Lord of Hell and the Abyssal Will probably both want to take a good look at who he is, and they better look twice, lest they don’t recognize him next time!”

He deliberately said this very loudly, probably so that even people outside the Command Tower could hear.

”True, Sister Lily wouldn’t kill a passing Little Bug for something like this.” ’Perfect Bald’ glanced around the hall, ”Inside is the safe zone.”

Lily continued opening her two-colored flowers, completely ignoring him.

’Snow Cloud Peak’ squinted at the vine with a smile: ”Sister Lily is particularly lively today!”

He exchanged a glance with the turned-around ’Perfect Bald’; both understood what had happened... Hill’s plants had already begun to withdraw their consciousness back into their main bodies, leaving only the separated vines on the ground now.

Otherwise, with Lily’s temper of only doing what Hill asks, she would never exhibit such an overly active behavior.

Moreover, Lily’s bell flowers would never bloom so casually.

It seems Hill also believes the story over at Aesces isn’t that important anymore and is ready to leave at any moment.

’Snow Cloud Peak’ lowered his head with a faint smile: ”What you said earlier is quite interesting. I really want to know if Hill will still take us to explore new worlds.”

”Hmm... Actually, we’re pretty good here~” ’Perfect Bald’ blinked, ”If it weren’t for us, how could Aesces have found so many enemies?

A world like Aesces would probably welcome us, right?

To save oneself, to reach perfect divinity... Surely many World Masters would sincerely welcome our visit!”

”You’re really daring with your words!” ’Snow Cloud Peak’ pointed at the giant screen with a sneer, ”Look there, and seriously say it again, that there will definitely be deities welcoming us!”

”If you can’t even accomplish such a small thing, how can you...” ’Perfect Bald’ tried to argue but then felt a bit deflated, ”Can’t you at least always have that shield array on?

It’s impossible to speak a bit disrespectfully towards other deities.”

Of course, they both knew what he truly wanted to say, but unfortunately, except for the time connected with Hill, Snow Old Dog seemed to always leave windows open.

Although ’Perfect Bald’ guessed that ’Snow Cloud Peak’ was fishing for Metamorphosis, it was frustrating that this guy used the opportunity to make it impossible for him to retort!

-----------------

Hill’s hand trembled as he organized the pendant, unable to suppress a shiver upon hearing their conversation.

After Lily withdrew her main consciousness, the intelligence of the slowly becoming independent small vines wasn’t very high; they couldn’t quite judge which words were important and which could be ignored, which was why Hill kept the stereo on... one side being the giant screen, the other Lily.

Those worlds would definitely reject Hill and possibly the Undead Tribe that might follow him. Could the focus be the fly moths Zhu Meili created?

No creature exists without a countermeasure; it just depends on whether you have the ability to find it.

To most deities, this thing is quite disgusting, though none would fear it.

What’s truly frightening is how soon after the Undead Tribe appeared in the Multiverse, they managed to create such a terrifying creature!

Even if it can eventually be resolved, nobody wants this thing to first emerge on their own turf.

Hill helplessly shook his head.

Forget it, although his path was a bit foggy, it always led him home.

Indeed, he had already decided not to return to Toril, choosing to find his own star route back.

Groping the Star Route Map from Toril within the pendant and combining it with the Star Map Fran gave him, Hill felt absolutely certain.

Of course, when leaving Aesces, it would be best to use a random Dimensional Gate in the starry sky for added safety.

It would be fine to find another route then.

Hill turned and glanced at the giant screen on the lowest level, sighed deeply, and resolutely peeked over: Ah~ Cronos’s body has almost matured!

Then he quickly retracted his head: What kind of devilry is Asmodeus up to?

Those moths are about to fill every space, aren’t they?

Although the advantage is that the larvae on the bottom are somewhat covered, even so, fly heads with moth bodies are utterly revolting!

The giant screen can even magnify—really... Hill turned around in frustration; he no longer wished to consider what schemes the Lord of Hell was plotting.

-----------------

At this time, an Undead Tribe member standing outside the Oasis also began to feel puzzled.

She was a woman dressed in a tight golden gown with a high slit, exceptionally seductive. Yet ’she’ carefreely crossed her legs, sitting atop a massive underground lizard.

”Zhu Meili...” someone behind him couldn’t help but ask, ”When are we making a move?”

”Move what move?” Zhu Meili began speaking, giving off a very neutral, slightly milky voice, ”Everything being sent by Aesces to the adjacent Dimensional Space, we can only wait here for the result.

That is the Lord of Hell; who among us has the skills to confront him?

Tch~

Snow Old Dog doesn’t think I’m dumb enough to rush into the Oasis now for treasure, does he?

Indeed, I’m envious of the Proud Sky Alliance having many divine items, but that doesn’t mean I’m going to take you all into danger.

I can wait till the end, content to take whatever is available.”

He raised his index finger, and a tiny Night Butterfly flew over with the wind, fluttering around his finger: ”Ha~ Hard work, have a good rest~

However, indeed, this time, I devoured quite a bit of good stuff! Energy from the nine layers of hell’s ruler, you know~

Upon returning to Toril, achieving Level 20 shouldn’t be a problem?”

The Night Butterfly circled him, danced a lively dance, then dissipated into the wind, going back into his Pet Space.

”This time, the sole purpose of us stirring up this whole affair was our little muddlehead.” Zhu Meili joyfully swapped legs before continuing, ”What is Aesces compared to that?

Old Dog truly underestimates me.

It’s just a base, one we don’t need at all.

Recruits, new recruits.

We only need to find those Run Alone Gang or smaller factions that clash with the Proud Sky Alliance.

Heh~ No matter how much control Snow Old Dog has, can he rule over hundreds of thousands of people?

Hehe~

Doesn’t everyone have one or two blockheads?

They’ll bring new blood to us themselves; we only need to think about what part of Toril is more suitable to stay.”

”Do you have any target now?” someone behind him couldn’t help but ask, ”The Sword Bay area is most suitable, but we surely can’t; Chult is to the east, sigh~

While Shaer wouldn’t be against us there, unfortunately, her Chosen has better relations with Snow Old Dog.

So, the southwest corner?

The old region of the Goddess of Magic’s faithful, over at Harua?

Isn’t it quite close to the Young Master though!”

”Only there remains.” Zhu Meili helplessly shook his head, ”Don’t worry about the Young Master; there’s a Doomsday event between us and them!

Road Eunuch is truly clever; he would certainly welcome someone nearby to help share the burden.

If we join forces, the Young Master probably won’t do much, since Wenjian isn’t that united.

Of course, provided we don’t provoke him first.”
