Lin Tang wasn't proficient in foreign languages, but his words spread throughout the entire area. Strangely, everyone understood his aning. This was a marvelous application of Divine Sense, which could forcefully implant his intended ssage directly into the minds of others.
At that mont, the mbers of the Gluttony Corps had no ti for confusion. They were simply too, too, too angry!
"You!"
"How dare you call our supre Lord of Gluttony trash?"
"The audacity!"
"You're courting death—"
They turned in unison, intending to riddle the man who had suddenly appeared with bullets.
"Could this be... Long Tianji?"
"It really is him!"
"Fantastic!"
"Heavenly King Long, please save us!"
Originally, Li Gong and the others had been quite worried. But upon seeing Lin Tang's face, he seed sowhat familiar. Then, a sudden mory struck them, and they were overjoyed!
With Heavenly King Long here, the town would be safe! With Heavenly King Long here, justice would prevail!
And indeed, Lin Tang did not disappoint them.
He cocked his head, seemingly puzzled. Why would the followers of re trash dare to fight?
Countless bullets sprayed forth, only to freeze in mid-air right before him, unworthy of even touching his clothes. The mbers of the Gluttony Corps were dumbfounded. The survivors in the town were also stunned.
"A god!"
"This must be a true god!"
"A god has co to save us!"
"We greet the great god!"
They all knelt in unison, excitedly kissing the ground. So who were gravely injured and screaming in pain even forgot their agony at this mont.
"Impossible!"
"He, he, he must be so kind of vile demon!"
"Quick, beseech the watchful eye of the Lord of Gluttony! Pray for His protection!"
The mbers of the Gluttony Corps hurriedly threw away their weapons, pulled out their knives, and began chaotically stabbing and slashing themselves. Holding the bloody flesh in their hands, they then swallowed it whole while gnashing their teeth and muttering incantations.
They were truly in despair. Within their corps, aside from the Priest, no one was qualified to communicate with the Lord of Gluttony. They were just clutching at their last straw, trying their luck.
Lin Tang could have easily interrupted them, but he simply watched with amusent. Flas flickered in his eyes, and the air around him twisted from the invisible, intense heat.
The next mont, a scene that made them ecstatic unfolded! Perhaps it sensed the extre fear of its followers, or perhaps it caught the familiar scent on Lin Tang. The Lord of Gluttony actually appeared!
"Who dares to awaken the great... uh, why is it you?!"
Just as they were laughing maniacally, preparing to ridicule Lin Tang, they saw the deity they revered so dearly. He was about to unleash a terrifying presence that would make countless people tremble, but the mont He saw Lin Tang, He froze instantly.
Like a mouse seeing a cat, He shrank into a ball, every hair standing on end!
His followers: "???"
A deity... Why would it fear a mortal? Their worldview completely shattered.
If the Lord of Gluttony's true form had fully descended, He could have blown Long Tianji away with a single breath. But now, what had appeared was rely a strand of His consciousness, many tis weaker than the one that had appeared at the Heavenly chanism Martial Alliance headquarters. This was Lin Tang's second avatar; not even his main body would have feared possession by this entity.
Therefore, it ca as no surprise when the Lord of Gluttony, inwardly cursing and ready to flee, was captured alive by Lin Tang.
"My friend, let's make a deal. You know that even if you destroy this piece of my consciousness, it will only cause my true body a mont's pain and won't inflict substantial damage. Why don't you let go? It's better to resolve enmity than to create it."
"Oh ho, you even know idioms from Central Earth? You're quite fluent!" Lin Tang kneaded Him like putty, turning Him into a little blob. The once-disgusting entity now looked sowhat adorably ugly after being miniaturized.
The Lord of Gluttony had lost all His bluster, displaying a fawning smile. "For a deity, that's simple. We understand most of the cultures on this planet very well..."
Lin Tang was indeed curious about the Evil Gods. Since he had encountered such a cowardly one, he decided he might as well keep it around for a while to gather more information.
He then asked, "I could let you go, but what's in it for ?"
"This..." The Lord of Gluttony's eyes darted around. "It looks like you want revenge, right? Are you looking for the anchors the other gods have on this planet? Heh heh, as it happens, I know the locations of a few of my friends' anchors. How about this, I'll take you there!"
"Friends? I'm sure you an your rivals and enemies, don't you?" Lin Tang said with a half-smile.
The Lord of Gluttony also laughed. "So things are better left unsaid..."
"And what exactly are these 'anchors'?"
"Uh, well, you can think of them as the main bases of their followers, their nests, where the deity's divine statue is kept. Once the divine statue is destroyed, it will cause Him significant damage."
"So, if all the divine statues are destroyed, will that Evil God die completely?"
"Not die, but He will go insane, lose all reason, and, without exception, will likely never recover."
"Just go insane? Then how can you kill an Evil God for good?"
"Heh heh heh—" The Lord of Gluttony's smile turned quite eerie. He said in a ghostly voice, "Mortal, you must rember. Gods cannot be killed!"
"Is that so?" Lin Tang was skeptical.
Even the universe has a day of destruction. A god? Unkillable? Is that even possible?
He slapped Him hard across the face, leaving the entity dizzy and His head buzzing.
"Why did you hit ?"
"Your smile is hideous."
"..."
Even though the Lord of Gluttony had been reduced to a re pet or servant, His followers found it hard to accept. But since He had "reconciled" with Long Tianji, perhaps their own lives would be spared... The mbers of the Gluttony Corps secretly heaved a sigh of relief.
Hmph! Our great Lord of Gluttony must be enduring this humiliation to protect us! Just wait until He fully returns, then He will wash away all disgrace... He's so devoted, I could cry!
They were just about to tactfully bow and offer more flattering words when Lin Tang suddenly snapped his fingers.
The bullets on the ground took flight once more, instantly piercing through their foreheads and blowing off the backs of their skulls. Red and white matter splattered everywhere.
Lin Tang smiled. "I killed them. You don't mind, do you?"
The smile on the Lord of Gluttony's face stiffened for a mont before He said nonchalantly, "rely so shallow believers. They're no better than pigs and dogs, hardly worth ntioning."
"Good. Now take to one of your anchors—the base of these people."
The Lord of Gluttony was stunned. What?! I made it perfectly clear. Destroying an anchor will cause significant harm. Why are you still targeting ? I thought we made up!
In the end, He compromised. After all, He had more than one anchor, so sacrificing one was acceptable.
In the ti that followed, guided by the traitorous Lord of Gluttony, Lin Tang bloodbathed the nearest of His anchors, thus avenging the innocent dead. At the sa ti, he casually asked many questions about the Evil Gods, and the Lord of Gluttony answered so of them.
As Evil Gods, what they cherished most were extre emotions, especially the most fervent worship, which effectively helped them combat and slow their descent into endless madness. Humanity's irresistible desire for food was also a particular favorite of the Lord of Gluttony. As for how they ca into being, or what one must do to cultivate godhood, He remained tight-lipped, refusing to say a word. It seed that ntioning it would trigger a terrifying taboo that not even His true form could withstand.
「Several days later.」
Lin Tang had once again successfully destroyed another Evil God anchor point. During this period, he had traveled to every corner of the globe, driving nurous factions into chaos and despair.
The gods were all perplexed. So of our anchor points are hidden so deeply. How in the hell did that damned Long Tianji learn of them? Could he have sohow reversed the process, possessed a god, and stolen most of Their mories? How is that possible?!
The Lord of Gluttony was cunning enough to remain deeply hidden like a turtle in its shell. He knew that if the other gods discovered he was a traitor, they would undoubtedly unite to hunt him down and drive him completely insane. The thought was terrifying.
Lin Tang had employed cold and ruthless thods, killing countless followers of the Evil Gods and looting enough to fill both of his Storage Magical Artifacts to the brim. Just as he was preparing to return, fully laden with spoils, the mysterious entity summoned by Wen Dingchen finally mustered enough strength.
Straining as if constipated, it slowly tore open a rip in space, forcefully projecting an evil power from an extrely distant place.
The next mont, this force surprisingly morphed into an incredibly handso man, his every move exuding a roguish, untad charm. He let out a light chuckle and brazenly stepped into the mortal realm.
As soon as he appeared, every woman on the street who inadvertently saw him was instantly srized.
"Wow!"
"So handso!"
"I've never seen such a good-looking man!"
"I think I've fallen in love with him at first sight!"
"I'm completely in love with him!"
"I'd die for him!"
"Ohhh—"
In just a few breaths, the won sward him like a horde of zombies, rushing toward him in a mad frenzy.
