My Players Are So Fierce

Chapter 2559 -854: Loyal Brother’s Mission Report

“The situation in Cardman City is quite complicated, Murphy.”

After Murphy finished his conversation with the drifting city in the Star Realm, Mannis spoke into his ear:

“What those three vampires dared not tell you is that they actually can’t even maintain good control over the inner city. Although I’ve only wandered around the outskirts of that city, I know that among those vampires that barely survived, there are also those who have already despaired, with the Twilight Cultists constantly seducing them.

When they say the Star Realm changed them, it’s not just an emotional expression. There are many things in the Star Realm that cannot be explained by common logic. Actually, in my opinion, the fact that the city has survived in the Star Realm for so long probably has little to do with those two miniature nocturne cores.

It’s very likely that something intangible has already taken up residence in that city.

Thus, once you bring these guys back to the physical world, that city will also need a long and thorough cleansing before it can be opened to the outside.”

“Triss told me that after they are brought back to the material world from the crevices between the Star Realm and Subspace, they can freely choose where to land, right?”

Murphy stroked his chin and asked:

“If there is already a risk, then perhaps we can have them stay away from Transylvania temporarily until the risk is eliminated before accepting them anew.”

“It’s possible, but it requires a lot of computation.”

Mannis explained:

“By timing the frequency of Star Realm mapping changes appropriately, you can calculate a precise landing point. When you close the subspace rift, pierce through the plane boundary, and create a spatial channel traversing three planes, you can conveniently transfer them to a suitable place.

The Goat Man Astrologer under your command is very skilled at this.

The guy named ‘Paul’ is the most powerful Astrologer I have ever seen. Apart from being a bit evil, ambitious, and daring enough to do anything but good, he could truly be called a genius in this field.”

“Alright, I’ll ensure he participates in this matter. Additionally, Cardman City survived thanks to your help, Mannis. In this matter, Transylvania owes you a favor.”

Murphy said sincerely:

“I promise you that after this matter is over, the creation energy from the R-9 Base will be provided to you first.”

“Hmph, now you see Lord Mannis’s worth?”

The Crafty Serpent said with a smug voice:

“But I’m someone who never takes a loss, so I must tell you in advance, there’s a force called ‘Serpent Worship Sect’ in the outer city of Cardman City, they’re the servants I’ve secretly cultivated. This is the benefit I’ve fished out for myself in this matter, so when you’re dealing with the gods and monsters in Cardman City, remember to spare them.”

“Serpent Worship Sect? What are you planning!”

Murphy frowned and said harshly:

“Are you also planning to seize faith? To perform a god-ascension ritual? Don’t play with fire, Mannis! You’re just a Demigod. Once there’s a case of faith reverse-pollution, you won’t have the ability to resist, and you’ll be swallowed up in an instant. At that time, I would have no choice but to find a way to get rid of you.”

“Don’t rush. I’m just leaving myself a way out.”

Mannis sighed with an air of feigned innocence and said:

“You know, ever since I learned the truth of the Path to Divinity from that little bitch Li Ji, I’ve always wanted to go one step further. Unfortunately, the road to ascending to godhood through creator powers is fraught with difficulties. You yourself can’t be sure you’ll make it to the end, so how could I dare to bet everything on you?

In case you fall in battle, Lord Mannis must have a means to start afresh, right?

The Serpent Worship Sect is just such a fallback.

I know faith is a double-edged sword, but if I’m pushed to the brink, I’ll have to rely on this method to make a desperate attempt.

Don’t worry, this means won’t be activated before your failure.

Even though those guys have always worshiped me, always sung my praises, I’ve not responded to them, which means my symbolic presence hasn’t formed in subspace.”

“I assume you’ve forgotten about the issue with Triss and the Midnight Mother, right?”

Murphy said coldly:

“Even if you don’t respond to the prayers of your followers, once their numbers increase and they conceptualize a specific image of the Divine Spirit, attributing to it corresponding concepts and domains, then a seed of belief with the serpent as its totem can still form in subspace.

What’s bad happened to Triss will be reenacted on you, and just because I won’t abandon Triss doesn’t mean I won’t abandon you…

Mannis, we’re friends, so I advise you.

Clean up your mess now!

You’re in command of the Power of Time. I dare not imagine what bizarre and terrifying disasters would erupt if this thing were seized by subspace. I guess Ao wanted to teach you a lesson precisely because of this point.

The Eastern Holy Spirit saw your potential and also saw the innate threat in you, especially when fate molded you into a bastard with much evil potential. If I were Ao, I’d also find a way to teach you a lesson, to make you learn to steer clear of those dangerous things that would lead you down a dark path.”

“I…”

Mannis wanted to argue.

But the Endless One couldn’t think of a reason, seeing Mannis still hesitating. Murphy shrugged and said:

“Disband that sect, and eliminate it before trouble arises! I’ll compensate you. After the Black Disaster ends, I plan to head to the Origin Land, where the Creator Engine is located. Therefore, if conditions permit, I’ll also allocate some of the creation energy there to you.
