Netherworld Retrograde

Capítulo 991: Chapter 474

For the Chaos believers within the Jile Subsidiary, this day was incredibly surreal.

This was supposed to be the naming ceremony of the great Divine Chosen. After the ceremony, the Church would welcome a powerful Divine Chosen and a Chaos Holy Artifact.

In the promotion by the subsidiary’s upper echelon, this was to be their most glorious moment, marking the beginning of their conquest with the Heartless Fruit, leading all living beings into downfall.

After all, the Heartless Fruit had already started to spread to the outside and would spread even more intensely with the war!

They were even considering defining this day as their Day of Downfall.

But then, this incident happened.

Li Ye Lai, who was supposed to be the Divine Chosen, not only betrayed the faith of Jile but also destroyed the Heartless Fruit and even brought in the Blood God’s power!

Or perhaps, he was always an undercover for the Blood God Faction? That mysterious Chosen of the Double Gods?

Was this a conspiracy by the Blood God Faction?

No, it more resembled a conspiracy of the Deceit Dao!

He not only unleashed a large number of Imitative Heavenly Soldiers, massacring Chaos believers. Inside the subsidiary, he caused massive casualties. He even trapped the noble and beautiful Fallen Wish Chosen One within a Thorny Cage.

Under the sudden attacks by a large number of Imitative Heavenly Soldiers, the high-level believers suffered heavy casualties.

They did not attack the powerful Overlords and Sixth-sense Experts but specifically targeted the weaker Church Spiritual Ability Users.

This caused chaos within the subsidiary, with the Chaos Army mobilizing to besiege the Imitative Heavenly Soldiers, who scattered using their instant teleportation ability.

This kept many Church elites preoccupied. For a time, it was difficult to suppress everything completely.

Adding to it, the Ye Boshous outside launched an attack; the subsidiary truly faced internal and external threats.

If not for the defensive system of the relic still in place, and the Ye Boshous not attacking personally, the situation would have been much worse.

Unfortunately, these Imitative Heavenly Soldiers lacked divinity.

Facing the Overlords and Sixth-sense, they could hardly inflict effective damage. That’s also why Li Ye Lai sent the Imitative Heavenly Soldiers to attack other Jile Strong People.

Now, the turmoil within the Awakening Grand Hall had been completely quelled.

The Extraordinary Creatures and Church experts guarding there maintained its safety.

After the elderly Overlord smashed the last Imitative Heavenly Soldier in the hall, he immediately looked toward the Thorny Cage outside the hall.

It was a mass of thorns, abruptly placed in the middle of the hall.

No matter whether one wanted to open it or move it, they hadn’t succeeded.

And the Fallen Wish Chosen One and Li Ye Lai were trapped inside it.

“What exactly is this?” asked the elderly Overlord, frowning.

“It’s a cage… Our candidate Divine Chosen, He Lan Overlord, once had a similar Secret Treasure. But his had golden patterns on it,” responded a bloodied high-ranking member of Jile: “Its effect is to trap the target and oneself within a self-created space. In this space, external forces cannot intervene. Both sides can only fight to the death! The cage only opens upon the death of one party….”

This caused many Jile Strong People to look extremely grim, even though they were reluctant to admit it.

But even the strongest efforts of the Fallen Wish Chosen One, even entering the Divine Favor, couldn’t defeat the Champion Agent.

That Champion Agent was already mighty, also having entered the Divine Favor.

The Fallen Wish Chosen One was sure to lose!

“We can’t open it?” the elderly Overlord inquired.

“At our level, there’s no way. Perhaps if the Chaos Holy Artifact is activated and with the incarnation of the Great Prince, we might be able to shatter this cage.”

“Surround this cage! If the Prince’s incarnation appears, we can rescue the Fallen Wish Chosen One.”

“If it opens prematurely… We must hold him at all costs, waiting for the arrival of the Prince’s incarnation!”

“This traitor must die!”

“Rest assured, once this traitor is dead, all of you will receive the rewards from my master!”

This caused the elderly Overlord’s heart to flicker with hesitation.

Though he had joined the Chaos Faction and embraced the belief of Chaos, gaining considerable benefits, the Heartless Fruit afflicting him had been removed; his greatest concern was erased.

Now, should he still dedicate himself to Chaos?

How about teaming up with outsiders to exterminate the Chaos Faction? After all, he was the only human Overlord native here. The authorities might not kill him outright, and perhaps might reward him for abandoning darkness for the light.

But quickly, upon seeing the three Extraordinary Creatures gathering around and several Church elites,

he gave up on this notion.

He was human and could still have some choice. But how many humans had those three ‘Guardian Gods’ of the city devoured over the years?

With the temperament of outsiders, they wouldn’t be spared. Thus, they would never betray Chaos.

Among them, the strength of that Abyss Dragon was on par with his own….

Although the Jile Sect seemed in disarray, the established legion still existed.

The Chaos Holy Artifact was about to be activated. Once the Supreme Strength Prince’s projection descended, all the turmoil would be quashed.

Even if he joined forces with the Champion Agent, he still couldn’t contend against the Prince’s projection and so many Church elites.

Thus, he made his choice, guarding the cage from another direction.

He then raised his hand, gathering a large amount of water to envelop the cage.

Chaos or humans, whoever wins, he’ll help them!

For now, Chaos had a greater chance of winning.

He was an Overlord after all.

Choosing between an isolated Champion amidst enemy Sixth-sense, and a Chaos Faction with more combat power as allies.

The outcome was apparent!

He mustn’t choose wrongly again.

Previously, he feared the presence of Champion Yang Chen, not daring to lean towards Chaos, nor to assist the authorities.
