Chapter 611 The Highest Stage of Power
Xingli Hall, meeting hall.
Unlike in the past, the hall was now crowded with Red World apostles. Most of those who were qualified to participate in this meeting were powerful Red World kings.
As the real leader had not arrived yet, the hall was noisy at this time.
"No matter what, I will never recognize this new leader!!"
In the center of the hall, a humanoid being with a beetle-like appearance spoke loudly and excitedly.
"This kind of thing is simply making fun of us!!"
"Hey, you are too rude."
He covered his ears with his hands with some dissatisfaction, and a young boy who was almost wrapped in a robe on the side started to refute.
"The other party is our leader, which has been recognized by the three pillars. No matter how excited you are, you can't change it."
"Leader? What a joke!!"
With a violent wave of his hand, Libezar spoke loudly, and this person was obviously more excited.
"A human and a Misters!? And, when did we get another deputy leader in our masquerade? Humans are extremely weak beings, just ants that can be wiped out with just a flick of our fingers!! Isn't it ridiculous to let an ant lead us?!"
"Enough, calm down, you are being too rude now."
Before the little boy could speak, another slightly feminine voice sounded beside him.
Different from Libezal's beetle-like appearance, the source of this voice was a humanoid creature wearing a double-headed gas mask on his head and a torn cloak on his body like a scarecrow.
"Friendly reminder, our new leader seems to hate us belittling humans. If you let him hear what you said just now, you will definitely suffer. If you offend our leader, the consequences will be very bad."
-Although it is persuasion, his words are full of the meaning of adding fuel to the fire.
"Hardship? It's not certain who will suffer!!"
Hearing this, veins popped out on Libezal's forehead.
"Don't forget, why can we stand here? It's all because of our own strong strength and real achievements! Why do you, Mr. Staff Officer and the Great Imperial Witch, serve those guys of unknown origin!?"
Because it was a rare call, almost all the middle and high-level people of the Masquerade gathered in this hall at this time, but surprisingly, not many people jumped out to accuse Libezal, but most of them chose to remain silent.
...Or waiting to see the show.
It's okay that a new leader who has nothing to do with the Masquerade suddenly appeared on his head. After all, not only did the Great Imperial Witch support him, but even the agent of his own god also supported him. But the leader is the leader, why did the other party issue a mindless order that they were not allowed to eat humans during this period?
For these Red World Demon Kings who have lived for who knows how long, humans are really just like food. After all, they need the power of existence to maintain their survival in reality, just like people need to eat when they are hungry.
As a result, the new leader of the alliance is good. The first fire of the new official hits their pain point directly.
Originally, they disdained these orders. After all, if they want to eat, they can just secretly shoot a phosphorus to harvest some power of existence in nearby towns. Who can know?
The number of their apostles seems to be large, but the total number is only tens of thousands. Compared with the huge population of billions of humans, what's wrong with them kindly helping the other party to reduce the population burden?
... It's a waste if they don't eat anyway.
Once a Red World disciple made such a statistics. The number of humans eaten by all their Red World apostles in a year, added together, is not even as many as the number of deaths when humans start a war.
Especially after the rapid development of technology on the human side, the number of deaths in any war is hundreds of times the number of deaths in the past. Seeing so much existence power being wasted in vain, they themselves will feel heartbroken.
In their view, humans are far more brutal than their apostles.
Not allowing them to eat humans is no different from starving themselves to death. Therefore, when the order of the new leader was issued, many apostles in the masquerade privately mocked the new leader.
... Unfortunately, they did not laugh for too long.
I don’t know what the leader did to them secretly. After the order was issued, they found that they suddenly couldn’t do anything to humans. It seems that a layer of prohibition has been added to their spirits. They can think about eating humans in their hearts, but as long as they dare to put it into action, they will immediately have a splitting headache, as if they have a tight hoop on their heads.
Therefore, in today’s masquerade, not to say 100%, but at least more than 70% of the members have developed a bad feeling towards the new leader.
It was rare that a young man was willing to help them test the new leader, so they were naturally happy to see it... or to add fuel to the fire.
"... She was too eager for success."
Looking at the scene below where everyone was indignant, Ai Ran Zi Surat on the high platform above looked worried.
With his and his sister's strength, which is not even the king of the red world, it is actually impossible to stand in such a good position on such an occasion. However, due to the relationship of being the personal soldiers of the leader of the masquerade party, That's why they were able to appear here at this time.
But position belongs to position, and no one thinks highly of the apostles in the masquerade. In the first few days when they came to Xingli Hall, some apostles even deliberately wanted to provoke them.
If it weren't for the powerful "Cai Piao" Fei Leisi among them, who thought it was troublesome and killed the chicken to scare the monkey at the beginning, they might have been beaten more than a dozen times...
"You deserve it. Who told her to treat us like that before?"
Beside Surat, while shaking her feet, Delia curled her lips.
"Also, we can be considered her subordinates now, right? But brother, look at it, has she cared about us once in the past few days? In my opinion, I wish she..."
"Tilia!!"
"...Okay, I was wrong, I shouldn't have said that about our benefactor."
"Go back and write a 50,000-word review. Give it to me tomorrow when I'm awake. I'll check it then and don't get away with it."
Delia: "..."
…………………………………………
Under the deliberate encouragement of some apostles, it was like a dynamite barrel was lit in the hall, and the dissatisfaction became more and more high.
By the end, the frenzy was so intense that it nearly blew the roof off.
At this moment, Liebezar realized belatedly that he seemed to have unknowingly agreed to the request for a life-and-death battle between those around him and the new leader...
Liebezar: “…”
...He suddenly felt like he was being cheated.
Just as he was being silenced, the sound of unhurried footsteps suddenly came from outside the closed door behind them.
When the footsteps sounded, the heated emotions in the hall were suddenly suppressed. In the three seconds when the footsteps sounded, the hall completed its transformation from the "extreme noisy" at the beginning to the present. With its "extremely quiet" performance, the whole world seemed to have quieted down.
For a moment, the only sound that sounded in everyone's ears seemed to be the sound of footsteps.
“…”
Liebezar opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but was horrified to find that he could not make any sound now.
——In the face of some power beyond his imagination, everything around him fell into the most basic stasis.
It wasn't until the door opened under the gaze of all of them, and the alliance leader and deputy alliance leader, the great witch and the staff appeared at the door, that the silent world slowly dissipated.
"Why, I thought I heard someone talking bad about me outside just now?"
Stopping, the figure standing at the front looked around the hall, with a kind smile on his face.
"What were you talking about just now? Can I listen?"
Different from before, Mu Qingzhi now put on a bright red dress, with a large area of the back hollowed out, and the skirt corners accompanied by the flying black hair behind her.
An invisible aura emanated from her body, and she unconsciously attracted everyone's attention just by standing there casually.
“…”
——Everything is silent.
Nowadays, Mu Qingzhi's control over spiritual authority has reached a very proficient level. In the spiritual aura she has created, few people can face her directly.
What's more, nowadays, in addition to [Fantasy] and [Spirit], the powers she can use include [Time] and [Space].
Originally, she could maintain her spiritual aura within a dozen meters of her body at most, and it would be greatly compromised any further away. However, with the assistance of [Space] authority, controlling the field by one person was not a problem.
——This is the real thing... to use force to overwhelm others! !
"...I, Kiribezal, suddenly want to challenge the leader of the alliance!!"
He dug his nails into his palms, and taking advantage of that moment of pain, Liebezal took a step forward and stopped in front of the new leader.
"Libezar...?"
Thoughtfully, Mu Qingzhi raised her head and looked at the beetle in front of her.
In appearance, the opponent was a triangular beetle that walked upright and had a huge body like an elephant. It had four arms with crystal beads wrapped around them, and drops of blood were slipping from his palms.
For some unknown reason, the other party looked at her with enthusiasm.
She was slightly impressed by the beetle in front of her.
Although the other party's words are a bit rough, he is a general who has been honed in hundreds of battles. He is a powerful king of the red world. His direct boss is Belupeolo, one of the three pillars. In the original plot, He was also the first to challenge the ritual snake.
However, after being subdued by the combat power displayed by the Ritual Snake, he was sincerely convinced and became an existence that only believed in powerful power.
"Challenge... OK, come on."
Mu Qingzhi shrugged slightly and raised her fingers towards the other party.
"Give you a chance. As long as you can make me take a step back, you will be the leader of the alliance."
Hearing this, the other party was not annoyed. She just clasped her hands together and then quickly spread them out. With his movements, dozens of crystal beads appeared around her, and in an instant they transformed into dozens of others.
But seeing that the new leader still had no intention of dodging, or even taking any defensive measures, Libezar immediately felt a little annoyed, and without thinking, he directly controlled his clones to attack the place.
In an instant, smoke and dust rose from the position where the new leader was originally located.
As the King of the Red World, his strength and record were all earned through hard work. Even if the opponent was strong, the new leader had to pay a price for his weakness! !
...Then, as soon as this thought came up in his mind, he flew backwards at a higher speed.
"???"
The next moment, before Libezar could recover from this sudden change, the new leader appeared in front of him who was lying on the ground.
"How about it, are you coming again?"
"………"
After a short silence, Libezar silently stood up from the ground, and then half-knelt down in front of the opponent in front of him.
...He didn't even know how the new leaders made their moves.
The gap between him and this leader was far greater than he had imagined.
Facing the other party's surrender, Mu Qingzhi had no intention of caring about the other party, but turned around and looked around.
"I know you all have a lot of dissatisfaction with me as the leader, but it doesn't matter. I'll give you a chance. No matter who it is, whether it's a one-on-one fight or a group fight, as long as you dare to come, I will take it all. In other words, you can just rush up."
Looking around at the apostles around him, Mu Qingzhi had a blank expression on his face.
"I can ignore all the offenses against me today, but after today, if you disobey my orders again, I will no longer be polite to you. This is not a warning, but just a routine notice."
"Now, who else wants to come?"
"………"
No one responded, and no one spoke.
In the masquerade, Libezal was already one of the top few in terms of strength, but the other party was defeated so quickly... even unbelievably quickly.
Except for the sacrificial snake and a guy in green who vaguely saw the trick, the others didn't even know how the other party was defeated.
Under the increasingly terrifying invisible pressure in the air, an apostle half-knelt down at some point, and then, starting with this apostle, a large group of people knelt down in the field, offering their loyalty to the leader, these apostles.
——From this moment on, Mu Qingzhi officially stepped onto the highest power stage of the masquerade.
