Netherworld Retrograde

Capítulo 1160: Chapter 570: Illusion Change’s Plan

The Deceit Sect differs from other Chaos Faiths; they almost entirely discard the sanctuaries and rituals of traditional sects. Each Divine Chosen operates as an independent Chaos node.

They hardly have a fixed base. Even if they do, it’s long been cloaked by lies and illusions, maybe an ancient library nobody cares for, or perhaps an ordinary-looking basement.

But when enemies step inside, intending to kill those deceitful believers, it’s already been destroyed, leaving only whispers among the ashes, mocking their ignorance. Perhaps hundreds of disgusting traps remain.

Connections among the Deceit Chosen are rarely seen.

Among them, some are scholars obsessed with knowledge, conducting forbidden experiments in isolated domains.

Some are sages weaving sinister conspiracies, plotting for years just to incite self-slaughter in the Forbidden Zone or Giant City on a night of revelry.

And some might merely be beggars at the corners, yet tie death knots on the threads of destiny of every benefactor.

No matter the face they walk the earth with, they all converge on the same path.

Unpredictable malice, deceit, and machinations.

They don’t seek destruction but are obsessed with twisting the world into an absurd drama.

And they themselves, are the directors and audience behind the scenes.

Each meticulously planned madness, each inevitability amidst accidents, is a brilliant performance for the Master of Transformation!

Some among them, even delight in confronting their faith’s Master of Transformation.

The Master does not get angry, instead, He toys with His Chosen.

Now, as a Deceit Chosen, Illusion Change keenly perceives the start of a good show.

This excites him exceptionally.

Originally his plan was to use the bodies of various strong humans to continue teasing, provoking, transmitting false information, and so on.

Or, mimic the Champion’s female friend, and stay in those small shelters that have gone utterly mad and chaotic.

This would be enough to anger the Champion. Playing mind games is Illusion Change’s specialty.

His Primordial once mimicked a Supreme’s partner and headed to the most chaotic debauched place of his Dynasty.

Letting his most despicable slaves savor the taste of the Supreme woman.

Provoking a personal chase, finally leading him into a trap.

His favorite tactic is to infuriate the target, find weaknesses in their wrath, making them unable to close the situation.

For this, he even conned a crystal stone connecting a Horror Demon leader.

Always ready to use the Horror Demon to trouble the Champion.

Or perhaps broadcast his Chaos Chosen identity, branding that noble Human Champion a human traitor.

No one believes it? Illusion Change sees it not as a problem; once suspicion arises, change inevitably follows.

As long as many people suspect, it becomes real, even if it’s not.

Moreover, Li Yelai truly is a Chaos Chosen.

These changes can all be manipulated.

However, upon detecting the intentions within Disaster Fog’s Chaos Faction, and recalling Li Yelai’s unique ability.

He finally realized why Li Yelai could become a Chaos Chosen.

If truly Chosen, the shelters would have already fallen into chaos. Using the Champion’s identity, corrupting the shelters would be easy.

But now, it hasn’t reached that stage.

That guy remains resolutely committed to humanity!

Was it that bizarre special Face that deceived the Gods?

His previous plans, what trash were they? Damn! This is the best performance!

As for informing the Chaos Gods about Li Yelai being a Chaos traitor?

Ridiculous, he’d rather elevate Li Yelai. Who cares about the life and death of the Chaos Faction?

If not for Disaster Fog cutting off communication, he’d summon other Deceit Chosen to co-plan this grand drama.

Even so, Illusion Change remains unsatisfied.

Toying with the Gods’ Human Champion; isn’t this the born Deceit Chosen?

Oh my Lord, it’s been years, has your vision decayed this far?

My fellow Chosen colleagues, haven’t you realized this?

Granted, the Champion’s ability is so unique; it’s normal you didn’t discover it.

Since the Three Gods are co-Chosen, why not… add another Deceit?

Even if your heart leans toward humanity, my Lord will inevitably cast His gaze upon you.

Yes, Champion, you shall become the Eternal Chosen One!

I shall aid you with all my might!

Illusion Change is incredibly excited, and he begins to lay plans for this.

…

Meanwhile, in South Fifteenth Shelter, Li Yelai.

Naturally unaware of what ghostly ideas the dog of a Deceit Chosen Illusion Change has come up with.

At this moment, after determining the current strategy with Wei Jie and other strong ones.

He kindly refused the underground bunker room arranged by them, instead found a room in the shelter’s above-ground building to rest.

The South Fifteenth Shelter is too crowded now, even though many temporary homes are constructed in the underground with iron sheets, there’s still population pressure.

Given Li Yelai’s strength, neither above ground nor below makes much difference. Let’s not add pressure to the shelter.

And with the Divine Demon Stele suppressing curses, coupled with Li Yelai vouching himself.

The shelter is cautious of Little Mad King, but at least it’s still manageable; suspicions targeting Little Mad King have decreased.

Though, once away from Li Yelai, problems arise again. Knowing he’s lurking nearby in the shadows makes many human strong ones tense.

The impact Illusion Change brought is too damaging.

So, Little Mad King also followed Li Yelai to the above-ground building to rest.

“As usual, you sleep first, I’ll keep watch.”

Little Mad King sits by the window, eerie multicolored moonlight spills in, outlining her slender silhouette.

Her left leg is bent up, arm casually resting on the knee, while the right leg stretches straight, inadvertently showcasing her exaggerated proportions.

Li Yelai doesn’t stand on ceremony; Little Mad King’s injuries have recovered via Holy Healing Potion. Plus she recently ascended to Overlord, mentally more refreshed.

Whereas he, repaired his body using Eternal Chosen Face, consumed much of his physical strength and Spiritual Energy. Adding the previous onslaught’s strain, especially the Insect Master’s spiritual attack, left him quite weary.

Meanwhile, he also knows that the Champion Cloak’s power comes from the cloak three thousand years later, already transformed into a powerful Secret Treasure.

Can become the Great Wall at the direst moment, guarding Li Yelai’s will.

Even the Insect Swarm’s will cannot penetrate that black Great Wall! It’s the will of Champions from generations!

As for the cloak’s other powers, Li Yelai must ascend to Overlord, possess Divinity, then explore further.

Thus, upon agreeing, he falls asleep immediately.

Little Mad King watches his back, suddenly feeling déjà vu.

Of course, it was like this when they first teamed up, venturing into the Forbidden Zone to kill the traitor… Li Yelai didn’t shy from warming her bed back then.

“Unknowingly, so much time has passed. Onward, comrade…” Her cold and alluring face shows a slight smile, then she gazes at the night sky.

….

No one knows how much time has passed, but the Void Realm’s fluctuations awaken Li Yelai from sleep.

Meanwhile, Little Mad King’s voice arises.

“They’re here, it’s Doll and Fear Empress!”
