Chapter 2469: Slowly infiltrating

"So you weren’t an actual Apostle of Destruction, you’re someone who succumbed to the voice of the God of Destruction in this world."

There were more confused looks that appeared on everyone’s faces, but I didn’t bother as I asked the sect masters and elders, "Do any of you recognize the person that he once was?"

All of them had the same confused looks on their faces when they heard this.

It seemed that the person that had succumbed to the seduction of the God of Destruction was just a regular member of the demonic sects.

In that case...

"Which one of you can tell me who he was before he became like this?"

The demonic cultivators were completely caught off guard by this, but soon they quickly gave me the information that I wanted. Especially when they saw that there might be a chance for them to escape.

During this, the ball of corruption energy didn’t remain still as it started to send out attacks in all directions. It seemed like it didn’t care anymore, it was just trying to recover as much energy as possible as it shot out tentacles of corruption energy in every direction.

Only it wasn’t as if I would allow it to do something like that.

The moment that I saw that the ball of corruption energy was planning to make a move, I had already gathered the divine energy around it and formed a ball of ice.

This was the same as the barrier of ice that I had created previously, but it was also clearly here to serve a completely different purpose. Instead of protecting the ball of corruption energy, it was actually here to trap it.

As soon as the tentacles of corruption energy touched the ice, it faded away without being able to achieve anything at all.

This was divine energy that came from me, even one of the Four Omens wouldn’t be able to destroy it that easily. Let alone this demonic cultivator who had just recently become an Apostle of Destruction after falling for the tricks of the forces of Destruction.

"Now that you’re trapped, I hope that you’re more willing to talk."

Though I was being civil with it, it didn’t seem like the Apostle of Destruction was willing to act in kind. Even though he could see that nothing he did had any effect on the ball of ice around him, the Apostle of Destruction didn’t seem like he was willing to give up.

He continued to send out the same tentacles to keep hitting the ice around him, as if he was hoping that it would eventually collapse.

However, the only thing that happened was that the ball of corruption energy was getting smaller. It seemed like it was slowly running out of power from trying to break through the ball of ice.

Each blow was negating some of the corruption energy that made up the ball of corruption energy, so it was only natural that it would be getting smaller and smaller like this.

Eventually it seemed like the ball of corruption realized that whatever it was doing was useless.

Finally, it took the form of a human again and said, "I’ll tell you whatever you want, just spare me."

"What did they offer you?"

The Apostle of Destruction was a bit caught off guard when he heard this as he couldn’t understand what I was asking at first, but I didn’t say anything as I waited for an answer from him.

Eventually, the Apostle of Destruction said, "I was the bottom of the ladder, someone that had absolutely nothing. They just offered what I deserve."

There was even a trace of pride that was in his voice as he said this.

It was clear that this man’s ambition was wild, but it was also clear that he cared the most about his own life. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have told me all of this.

"It seems like you haven’t fully accepted their power yet or else you would never be able to say these things."

"That being is even more terrifying than you, there’s nothing that you can do to them. You should come to their side as well."

I was a bit surprised to hear that he was this scared of the God of Destruction, but then I remembered something.

"Are you trying to convince me through him?" I was almost taunting him as I said this.

But then I added something else, "If you tell me who else you have, then I might consider it."

A trace of surprise appeared in the eyes of the Apostle of Destruction, but that quickly disappeared without a single trace.

When it was over, the one that had taken over the Apostle of Destruction disappeared and it was just the Apostle of Destruction that was left behind. When it was just the Apostle of Destruction left behind, he looked at me with a very different look in his eyes.

After all, the one that I had talked to just now was the one that had granted him all this power.

In his eyes, someone like that was on a completely different scale.

If I could talk to them like an equal like that, then it was only natural that he would fear me as well.

After a moment of silence, it seemed like the Apostle of Destruction finally came to a decision. Or that would have been the case if not for the fact that he suddenly grabbed at his chest.

The way that he grabbed and clawed at his chest was as if there was something inside of him that was trying to force its way out.

It didn’t take long to figure out what it was, but it was already too late to ask anything.

Even if I had asked something, they might not have been able to reply since the God of Destruction did have control over this person. ℴ

They exploded into corruption energy that disappeared without a trace when it touched the ball of ice around it.
