Chapter 1564: Chapter 1564: Purge
The breeze swept through the hair tips, and Yang Yu’s gaze was unyieldingly firm.
Many questions gradually became clear in Yang Yu’s heart, and he also knew with what kind of mood the Demon King came to this world.
Yang Yu laughed.
He laughed fearlessly.
"Since Lord Demon King still refuses to completely tell me the truth, fearing what I might do with these truths, I can only temporarily give up.
I hope that Lord Demon King can give me some time, and I will find other ways to understand the truth of the world.
I will not let Lord Demon King grant me time for nothing, your daughter was captured by me.
It was also my suggestion to hand her over to the Luo Ze Empire and have them spread the word.
If Lord Demon King is willing to give me some time to seek the truth and delay the attack for a while, I am willing to return Miss Tian Hanxue to Your Majesty."
Yang Yu opened his mouth to negotiate with the Deceitful Emperor, but as he expected, the Deceitful Emperor completely rejected his proposal:
"What a pity.
If you were not the Goddess’ Apostle, it would indeed be a very attractive proposal.
However...
The Goddess’ Apostle, indeed, cannot be trusted. Your very existence runs counter to our mission.
"
"As expected, you’re still concerned about my identity.
Also because of my identity, you took such a tough stance...
Have you never thought that I might stand on your side?"
"Regrettably. The words you said just now indeed shook my heart. However, the more this is the case, the more certain uncertain factors must be avoided from interfering with us. The feeling of being betrayed is not pleasant." Demon King decisively rejected Yang Yu.
Yang Yu recalled a method of ensuring absolute stability in war.
——Great Purge.
If Yang Yu was not mistaken, the conquest of this world by the Demon Clan was just a part of the Demon Clan’s war.
After conquering this world, they would use the ability of the Star Eyes Clan to seek clues about the goddess and then take action against the goddess.
Even under oppressive rule, they must maintain high internal unity to win all the upcoming battles.
With the label of the Goddess’ Apostle on him, Yang Yu was naturally early on listed by the Demon King as an uncertain factor that should be eliminated.
No matter how moving and heartfelt Yang Yu spoke now, it could never truly touch the Demon King’s heart.
Unless Yang Yu could give up everything given to him by the goddess, being monitored by the Demon King at all times, exchanging countless years and merits for the Demon King’s trust.
And obviously, this is a dangerous choice.
The Demon King said those words early on to prevent Yang Yu from doing such a foolish thing.
If Yang Yu dies now with his back straight, he could still be revered as a hero of this world, dying with dignity.
But if Yang Yu bowed humbly and lived temporarily only to be eventually killed by the Demon King, he would have nothing left.
"Draw your sword! Make your last desperate struggle.
Let me see what strength you truly received from the goddess!
I will mercilessly crush you completely, proving that the strength we created far exceeds the power the goddess bestowed on you!
I will show you that the goddess you worship is nothing but a lie.
There is no goddess in this world; everything operates under a beautiful order.
Being the first enemy I formally confront is something you should take pride in!"
The Deceitful Emperor raised his hand, and the aura of death howled around.
No one heard the Demon King say a word, but everyone seemed to hear the words "This is a battle between me and him, no one is to interfere, and those who do will die!" They all retreated, leaving an expansive open area.
Wan Huawen, who had left the battlefield early, crossed his arms, standing on the fortress wall, watching Yang Yu and the Deceitful Emperor with a stern face.
No one knew what direction things would take next.
Wan Huawen sincerely hoped that Yang Yu, who once created miracles, could do it again, but without a special weapon against the Demon King, Yang Yu’s hope for victory was exceedingly slim.
Yang Yu knew this too.
But, he still maintained a smile, his face with an indescribable relief, even able to bargain with the Demon King:
"Since I can’t avoid it, I’ll fight with all my might.
Lord Demon King, I will now prepare my Instant Kill.
If you want to see my full strength, I hope you can wait a moment patiently."
The Deceitful Emperor did not refuse Yang Yu:
"From now on, you only have five minutes.
If you make no move after five minutes, I will take action.
Don’t attempt to escape, do anything futile, or think anyone will come to rescue you.
This barrier is established just for this purpose.
Without my permission, no one can break through this barrier to support here from the outside."
"Lord Demon King, you are indeed thorough.
Thank you, Lord Demon King, for granting me preparation time.
So I will not stand on ceremony!"
Yang Yu smiled as he danced his Sword Blade in place, activating his [Sky-shattering Dragon Roar].
The Demon King stood still, like an unbeatable formidable warrior.
Countless thoughts flowed through Yang Yu’s mind, but he cleared them all out, emptying his mind to focus entirely.
Yang Yu could see the Demon King’s attributes.
The Demon King was a six-thousand-eight average attribute barrel waisted figure, with a blood volume of up to one million.
Despite seemingly average attributes, the Demon King truly ruled the Demon World, and would surely have no shortage of equipped gear and secret weapons.
In addition, the Demon King also had many special items:
[Invasive World Demon King] This unit is a Demon King, with unfathomable strength, and its strength changes with the surrounding magic power, currently having a +51% magic intensity. Due to being in this world with slightly reduced magic, his strength has diminished, making it the perfect time to defeat him.
[Deceit Fog Clan lv.9] This race can vaporize parts of its body, moving unpredictably with strong magic perception ability, mobility, and defense ability, +9% speed, +18% defense.
[Adversity Breakthrough LV.MAX] The less stamina, magic, and life value, the stronger this unit becomes, with the current attribute bonus at 1%.
Every special item the Demon King currently possessed was exceptionally outstanding, and Yang Yu knew that this was not the Demon King’s true strength; if he were in the Demon World, he would only grow stronger.
One-on-one, Yang Yu had almost no chance of winning.
However, even with almost no chance of winning, fighting was the only path Yang Yu had left.
Yang Yu’s gaze gradually focused, and his mind became immensely concentrated, each breath filled with countless combat methods flowing through Yang Yu’s mind.
Yang Yu transformed into a ruthless strategy machine, with nothing but the means to defeat the formidable enemy in front of him left in his mind.
[Sky-shattering Dragon Roar] completed, entering the casting phase, Yang Yu did not hesitate for a moment, his legs bursting with unprecedented speed, arriving before the Demon King in the blink of an eye.
