Chapter 299: First Act

He has always been proud of his strength.

Riya grabbed the person behind her by the neck with her backhand and threw it to the ground like a doll. There were many densely packed upright playing cards on the ground.

They shone with a metallic sheen like blades, and the moment Hephaestus landed on the ground, his body was instantly cut through by the extremely sharp playing cards.

"Pfft--" The silver cane penetrated the man's heart hard and reached his heart. He suddenly picked it up and then threw it far away.

"Every time I'm in a bad mood, you always make me happy. You are indeed my most loyal believers."

He raised the gun and pointed it at the man again, watching him stand up with difficulty, pull out the playing cards, and then press the trigger mercilessly.

Scarlet blood splattered all over the floor, and Ria was delighted by the color and was obviously excited.

The feeling of having your life at your fingertips is truly irresistible.

Moreover, the believer in front of him is difficult to kill, which means that he can enjoy this moment for a long time.

If Evander were here, he would surely be aware that Hephaestus was trying to draw in Leah's tainted qualities, causing the pollution to devour his soul at an accelerated rate.

But Evander was not there, and neither was James. No one told Leah this at this time.

The monocle, a mysterious item used to isolate pollution, was stained with blood, and the color of the golden eyes became brighter and brighter.

"Since believers can do anything for God, how about you all disappear?"

"This is not something you would say. I'm a little worried. Is your humanity okay?"

"Humanity, what is that?"

As the faceless god, Riya has always had a very harmonious relationship with his believers. Every time he sees the believers, he wants to do his best to destroy them.

It has to be said that killing believers is indeed a stress-relieving entertainment project, but he is a black businessman, so there is an additional condition that needs to be added before killing - that is to confirm that they have completely lost the value of remaining alive.

"Cough...cough cough cough."

Hephaestus stood up staggeringly from the ruins. The long sword in his hand gradually glowed with red light, intending to use fire to ignite all the jungles by the sea.

A tentacle suddenly appeared on the ground and wrapped around the sharp blade. Hephaestus glanced at the tentacle and cut it off directly, and his body disappeared in place.

"Just ran away?"

Riya looked around and found that the man was missing, and then he planned to look elsewhere.

As soon as he raised his feet, a ball of fire appeared on the ground and formed an arc around him.

The scorching flames continued to gather inside. Riya took a step back without changing her expression, and snapped her fingers. Suddenly, several water balloons appeared in the air and fell, and the steam filled the air with a "stinging" sound.

The scorching high temperature evaporated the water, but the flames did not go out, but burned even more fiercely.

Caught off guard, countless skeletons appeared in the fire and rushed towards Riya. Under the light of the fire, the shadow area became sparse, so Riya naturally had no place to escape.

He glanced coldly in an unknown direction, and the tentacles burned when they slapped on top of the flames. At this time, Riya had no fear. He stepped directly into the fire, and the flames engulfed his body, burning His flesh and blood.

But aside from the burning sensation, he didn't suffer any harm at all.

"It's really an illusion."

Ria walked out of the fire, and in front of her eyes was the miserable Hephaestus.

At this time, he was holding his broken arm and grinning at Riya beyond recognition. His face was covered with blood, and even the half-broken flesh was shaking as he spoke.

"Your performance was truly wonderful."

"Isn't that natural?"

"But it's over now. The Curse Master's hallucinations are more than just that... Hahahahaha, my dear Lord, enjoy this, and then let's see how else you can crack the 'chess game'!"

As he said that, Hephaestus' image instantly shattered like a mirror, and all the illusions in Ria's eyes disappeared.

The calmness of the sea he saw was an illusion, but in reality, the waves were already very close at hand, and huge waves with a height of more than ten stories were crashing towards him.

The young man stood in front of the huge waves, as small as an ant.

He raised his head, and the huge waves swallowed him up in an instant, destroying everything. The big trees, the beach, and the people living by the sea were all swept into this wave.

No one can resist the power of the laws of nature. At this time, Hephaestus stood on the cliff in the distance and watched all this through the magician's space transfer method.

"There have been frequent tsunamis these days. How can we just run to the beach without taking good precautions?"

He saw countless tentacles surging in the tsunami, like some enraged deep sea beast resurrecting at this moment.

"What a spectacular scene."

Ria commented.

He stood behind Hephaestus, walked from behind him to his side, put one hand on the handle of the cane, and put the other hand in his pocket.

"..." Hephaestus turned to look at him, seeming to understand something, but it seemed that he could not understand Riya more and more.

Riya continued to admire the scenery: "Is it difficult to understand? My believer, I have been standing here waiting for you.

The one who was communicating and fighting with you just now was the clone I created using the Faceless God's method. I asked Shival to follow him. Now you can see that Shival had so much fun when he met water, proving that he really likes water. "

"You really are..."

"What, are you questioning my acting ability?"

Riya took a step forward, and it seemed that he would fall from the cliff soon. The huge tentacles in the distance were still raging in the huge waves, and it took a long time to calm down.

A cat-like and bird-like creature emerged from the sea and flew towards this side, and when it approached Riya, it slowed down.

Riya also stretched out his arm to let it find a landing point and land smoothly.

"Gu——"

Little Shival stood on Riya's arm, and then climbed along his arm to his shoulder, staring at Hephisgetu with his hair blasted, and his movements were done in one go.

"I understand."

Hephisgetu covered his face: "It seems that you have planned this performance for a long time, and you have perfectly found a way to play us. I have to say that your performance is simply perfect.

If it weren't for your final explanation, I would have been completely kept in the dark. "

"Then today... even if we have reached an agreement, we will have a pleasant cooperation in the future."

Riya chuckled, and he reached out his hand to the other party again. The feathers of the little Shival on his shoulder slowly folded, and he tilted his head and looked docile.

And Hephisgetu also shook his hand.

At this point, Riya's first act was completed.

Because the waves just now swept away the real Hephisgetu and the clone that Riya found, Shival's tentacles did not give him any time to escape.

The person standing next to Riya now is still the clone that Riya created with his tentacles. The moment the two shook hands, they immediately smiled together tacitly.

At this moment, the clone that looked like Hephisgetu turned into tentacles again and returned to Riya's body.
