Netherworld Retrograde

Capítulo 1136: Chapter 555: The Plan Has Changed—Prepare for Decapitation!

Within the Void Realm, the intense aftershocks brought by the Overlord promotion have yet to dissipate.

The Little Mad King appeared behind Ye Lai, shielding him from the killing intent hidden in the shadows.

Upon stepping into the Overlord rank, this strongest assassin of the Border City showcased even more formidable combat power, as the longsword in her hand silently swept across, crushing the Hunter Demon, a fellow Assassin Master.

If Ye Lai could be described as the Human Champion who inspires the warriors with high morale, then the Little Mad King is the Champion’s safeguard that allows the Human Champion to entrust his back with confidence!

As long as she is present, those assassins lurking in the shadows pose not the slightest threat to Ye Lai.

When Ye Lai glanced sideways, what he saw was the silhouette of the Little Mad King holding a longsword.

Perhaps sensing Ye Lai’s gaze, the Little Mad King slightly turned her head, revealing a cold and elegant side profile, nodding slightly to Ye Lai in acknowledgment.

Even after being promoted to an Overlord, she remains expressionless, silent, and reliable.

Ye Lai felt a sense of relief, acknowledging that the Hunter Demon had timed the assassination attempt well. Even Ye Lai might have gotten injured, but as the Eternal Chosen One, as long as he wasn’t killed instantly, he could rise again to fight.

And the arrival of the Little Mad King made him feel secure as always. Now, there’s no need to be wary of any potential assassins.

With the Little Mad King around, they silently perish before even making a move!

“Congratulations on ascending to Overlord level, my teammate! Hahaha, from now on, they’ll have to go to the bathroom in pairs!”

Ye Lai responded with hearty laughter.

Then, his arm suddenly exerted force, and the Dharma Image’s arm simultaneously contracted, directly crushing the Beastman Big Guy in his hand into a blood-soaked firework.

Meanwhile, Zhu Ye and Dawn, who were battling the Horror Demon, looked towards the Little Mad King with either confusion or a hint of wariness.

“Blade of Revenge… is it the Little Mad King?” Zhu Ye murmured.

On his timeline, although he and the Little Mad King were both human powerhouses, they had little interaction.

The curse of suspicion meant the Little Mad King didn’t have close teammates in that timeline and always acted alone.

Even knowing she was on their side, no one could resist their instinctive suspicion.

She continued to operate alone. Later, after the fall of the Giant City, she disappeared without a trace.

Some speculated she defected to the Forbidden Zone, fell into the Abyss of Chaos, or maybe had already died in battle.

And later… within the revived Forbidden Zone, one powerful force after another was assassinated, leaving the Forbidden Zone King’s household wiped clean.

From the Supreme Family Head down to Forbidden Zone humans with thin bloodlines. The bloodlines of major Forbidden Zone families were severed completely.

That was the Blade of Revenge.

She was conducting her revenge again and again, for humanity, for the Giant City!

Until she completely shattered within the Forbidden Zone…

“This faint sense of danger, it’s the Hunting King…” Dawn couldn’t help but raise an eyebrow.

On his timeline, the Little Mad King was a familiar stranger. They only cooperated on the battlefield.

But he also knew that after the destruction of their hometown, the Giant City,

several human powerhouses stabilized the situation, one of whom was the Hunting King.

Compared to the Old Mad King who suppressed the Forbidden Zone, although the Hunting King couldn’t turn the tide alone, he managed to isolate the Forbidden Zone King, leaving Forbidden Zone Kings leaderless, and even assassinating the Royal trusts.

Unfortunately, this King of Assassins who even the Forbidden Zone King feared died due to a traitor’s conspiracy.

Even his corpse was desecrated and divided, leaving humanity only able to erect a cenotaph for him… a regrettable loss of a strong figure.

And the Little Mad King also noticed the gazes of the two Heroic Spirit Avatars and heard their whispered ravings.

The Hunting King, the Blade of Revenge…

The other versions of herself from two different timelines? Did they prove themselves?

The Little Mad King slowly exhaled a murky breath, feeling the solid touch from behind.

‘I’m a bit luckier than you all…’ the Little Mad King thought.

The two Heroic Spirits withdrew their gazes and began to destroy the Horror Demon more efficiently.

The Corpse Mountain was completely ignited by the green flame. Even though it could grow stronger through battle, with all the corpses burned, it could no longer stand against the Dawn Monarch.

With the Little Mad King’s promotion to Overlord, their final concerns were no longer valid.

Using Ye Lai’s combat power, along with two Heroic Spirit Avatars,

within the Disaster Fog, the Horror Demons could either rely on sheer numbers to exhaust them to death or dispatch the top ten Leader-level Terror Demons.

As for numbers… as the Jile Divine Chosen, the more enemy wails there were, the faster Ye Lai’s spiritual energy recovered. In fact, he couldn’t wait for more enemy forces; with enough cries, he might be able to activate the Chaos Holy Artifact directly.

Meanwhile, the Little Mad King’s promotion also greatly intimidated the Horror Demons.

In this kind of environment, the curse of suspicion would become chains that shackled the Horror Demons.

Upon learning that such an Assassin Master has appeared, how many Horror Demons would fear being assassinated? Would they wonder if the next corner will draw the assassin’s blade?

An Overlord-level assassin—how many Horror Demons would dare let down their guard? Unless a Supreme shows up, who would dare claim they can withstand an Overlord-level assassin?

Ye Lai’s comment that Horror Demons would need to visit the bathroom in pairs was no joke.

This is the unique deterrence of the Little Mad King!

Ye Lai tossed the already crushed Beastman Big Guy into the Dragon Breath spewed by Zhu Ye, watching it turn to ash.

With the Little Mad King’s successful promotion to Overlord, their main task was complete.

The remaining task is to kill more Horror Demons!

With the death of the Beastman Big Guy, the potent reality-distorting ability significantly diminished.
