Demon King: Hero, don’t run away!

Chapter 274: Chapter 274: Time Management, I’m a Pro at It

When He Meng got close enough, the Light of God Destruction fiercely summoned Black Energy from the depths of the earth, wrapping around He Meng’s sticky form like an octopus capturing its prey—firmly ensnaring him.

Twisting his gelatinous body with all his might, He Meng tried to transform and break free from the dark tendrils. The Light of God Destruction, seizing the moment, used its surprisingly powerful and tiny legs to leap tens of meters in an astonishing bound and pounced on He Meng.

In mid-air, the Light of God Destruction turned into a bubblegum-like sticky substance that clung to He Meng’s forehead.

The Black Energy swirling around He Meng’s body suddenly tightened its grip, embedding itself into He Meng’s form, and despite He Meng’s frantic struggles, his light blue body now bore streaks of Black Energy.

Though it was a close call, the Light of God Destruction was successful in taking control of He Meng’s body, assuming command with its own consciousness.

With this Slime, the Light of God Destruction would have a never-ending supply of sustenance, enabling it to create even more Black Energy.

The Light of God Destruction once had a body like that of a Slime; manipulating He Meng was second nature. To use the Slime to dig a cave and hide was no difficult feat—it was within easy reach.

Shifting his sticky body, the Light of God Destruction could hardly contain its jubilation,

Just you wait, even if I’m defeated by you now, forced into this wretched state, one day I will escape the All Things Library and accomplish the dominion I’ve yet to achieve.

I will plunge everyone and the whole world into Despair.

If you’re still alive by then, I’ll make your life a living hell; if you’re dead, your descendants will repay everything in your stead, also living a life worse than death.

”You look quite happy about something. What’s got you so thrilled? Care to share the joke so we can all have a laugh?”

A voice rang in the Light of God Destruction’s ear. It jolted, then turned towards the source of the voice and was stunned.

There stood the man who had ruined all its plans, nonchalantly not far away.

Fairy King Kaka flitted around the man, eyes filled with extreme resentment, wishing it could tear the Light of God Destruction into a million pieces.

The Light of God Destruction could never have imagined that Yang Yu and his companions would arrive so swiftly, giving it no time to catch its breath,

”Why are you here!”

”Why am I here?”

Yang Yu placed a hand on his hip, his face all smiles,

”Isn’t it because your acting was too clumsy?

Letting the Attack cut off a corner before slicing towards the body—the intention was too obvious, even a fool could see through it.

If you had directly organized the Black Energy to explode, maybe you could’ve used the ensuing massive blast in the air to find a way to escape.

Too bad, you’ve run out of chances.”

The more the Light of God Destruction saw Yang Yu’s expression of having everything under control, the angrier it became.

”I don’t believe you can really stay so composed. I’ve completely taken over this guy’s consciousness.

He’s an important partner of yours, what will you do now?

Do you want to raise your sword against an important partner and have her perish alongside me, or would you like to discuss terms and give me a way out?

Come on, make your choice!

Whatever you choose, you must feel Despair!

The despair of not saving your important partner or the despair of not completely eliminating me!

Come on! Choose!”

Before the Light of God Destruction finished speaking, Yang Yu drew his sword and slashed at it, his eyes free of confusion and not showing the slightest hesitation.

Leaping, the Light of God Destruction narrowly dodged Yang Yu’s Attack, its face filled with disbelief,

”What’s the deal with you? Isn’t he your important partner? Why can you be so decisive!”

”It is indeed my important partner, but you are the enemy of the entire world. If I show mercy to you because it’s my partner, then soon it won’t just be it that you control, but the entire world.

If saving the world requires sacrifice, I am prepared for it.”

A confident smile appeared on his face, and Yang Yu’s sword showed no sign of stopping, provoking the Light of God Destruction to shout angrily,

”You madman! Heartless bastard!”

Yang Yu smiled without saying a word; he knew that the Light of God Destruction was merely seeking to buy time.

He Meng’s attributes hadn’t completely converted to those of the Light of God Destruction; the attribute values of the Light of God Destruction and He Meng were calculated separately.

Now, the Light of God Destruction truly existed as an individual entity.

Since it existed as an individual, there was no need to worry about being unable to defeat it.

If Yang Yu waited for the Light of God Destruction to fully control He Meng, the situation might become exactly like when it controlled Kaka, achieving a true unity of identity.

And Yang Yu’s relentless attacks were to prevent this from happening.

Any hesitation in his attacks would only kill the hope of saving He Meng.

Therefore, Yang Yu could be so righteous and assertive.

Time management was always Yang Yu’s specialty, but trying to buy time in front of him was like bringing a knife to a gunfight.

No one understood time management better than Yang Yu; he was the true master of time management, a time assassin.

With the Light of God Destruction manipulating He Meng’s body in an attempt to dodge Yang Yu’s attacks, the angles of Yang Yu’s strikes were so cunning, He Meng couldn’t dodge them at all.

For the Light of God Destruction, which only existed in records when it came to close combat, there was no way to resist the continuous onslaught of Yang Yu’s attacks.

When it controlled Kaka, it couldn’t attack Yang Yu; while controlling He Meng, it couldn’t avoid his attacks.

For the first time, the Light of God Destruction felt helplessness and despair.

Perhaps the very thing those who created it longed for was a warrior like Yang Yu, a true warrior who could plunge despair into despair.

Such a person was someone it was destined to lose to.

But that didn’t mean it would give up the hope of life.

Any being without the desire to survive had been completely eliminated by it; it was the being with the strongest will to live and would not easily surrender its hard-earned life.

When attacked by Yang Yu, it was also desperately thinking, trying to figure out how to seize the opportunity to continue to survive.

For it, to live was everything.

Soon, the Light of God Destruction noticed Fairy King Kaka, who had come with Yang Yu.

Kaka continually bestowed blessings on Yang Yu, assisting him in his attack.

The Light of God Destruction saw a glimmer of dawn.

The two of you team up to quickly erase me from the world? Heh, this might just be the stupidest decision of your life!

Why did I go to such great lengths to try to attach myself to Fairy King Kaka?

Isn’t it because Fairy King Kaka and I have the highest compatibility, and once I could control Kaka, the unbroken Core would once again obey my commands?

I would become the giant dragon soaring across the sky once more.

The same mistake will not be made a second time.

Even if I can’t defeat you right now, I can gather strength and escape from the All Things Library.

No matter what you can do, you won’t be able to chase me to the ends of the earth.

Go ahead and regret it!
