CHAPTER 363: 0308 SHELL COINS AND TRICKS (PART 2)_1

Under the slightly disdainful gaze of the Goddess of Fortune, Leon’s mirror-like cufflink shimmered faintly, and as she expected, a tiny dog paw quietly emerged.

However, the next moment, that tiny dog paw did not attempt to use the powers of the Mirror World to capture the blood-stained bandage as she had anticipated. Instead, it pushed out a small metal ball with its shell cracking open.

Was this... some kind of highly explosive bomb?

Sensing the power within it, the Goddess of Fortune’s brow furrowed instantly, suspecting that Leon planned to sacrifice himself to guard the "secret." She had to temporarily change her target, buying the cracking whale oil bomb.

Simultaneously, the shell currency in Leon’s hand flickered slightly, reappearing bizarrely in Senior Tom’s hand. Following this, most of the injuries on the lazy young man vanished in an instant, transferring entirely onto Leon.

*Didn’t see that coming, did you? This was my real plan!*

Watching the sudden shock on the Goddess of Fortune’s face, as she hurriedly stepped back, Leon couldn’t help but smirk, despite the heart-wrenching pain coursing through his body.

Upon stepping out of the Dreamrealm, the first thing the Goddess of Fortune did was seize the [Plague-Infected Blood Band] from him. How could she not guard against him taking it back?

After figuring this out, he hadn’t bothered hoping to reclaim the [Plague-Infected Blood Band]. The eager Young Ha and the whale oil bomb were just a distraction.

His true plan was to use the effect of the Holy Abnormality via the [Deputy] Badge, forcibly making a transaction with Senior Tom, taking on all his injuries to help him regain the chance to confront the Goddess of Fortune!

*Go, Senior Tom! It’s all up to you now!*

Glancing at the lazy young man who had suddenly opened his eyes and stood firm like a mountain, Leon, who had successfully deceived the Goddess of Fortune with little tricks, fell skyward in a burst of blood mist from his chest, full of anticipation!

*One more time! Just like before, drive back the descending True God once more; you can do it!*

...

"Splash!"

"I told you all along, I am not suited for direct combat..."

In Leon’s incredulous gaze, the lazy young man, who seemed to have had all his bones removed, was knocked down again as soon as he opened his eyes. He protested helplessly,

"My ability needs time to prepare. Now that she is this close to me, I can’t even throw out the ritual materials. How could I possibly win?"

"..."

*Turns out they are both idiots!*

Watching the two cleaners lying on the ground, bleeding beside each other, the corners of the Goddess of Fortune’s mouth couldn’t help but twitch, feeling that her stature had been lowered by these two fools.

"Have you given up now?"

Pinching her brow with her hand, the Goddess of Fortune, who had just played along with a farce, walked over slowly. She first picked up the small bottle holding the Snake Spirit, then tore off the toad pendant from Leon’s chest before speaking with a menacing expression,

"I am out of patience to waste on you. Tell me, how did you make that toad self-destruct?"

"..."

"Still refusing to speak?"

Watching the assembly hall start to shake due to her forced descent, the Goddess of Fortune slightly flexed her fingers, squinting at Leon and threatening,

"Although I dislike doing such things, if you insist on not cooperating... don’t blame me for being rough!"

"..."

"Ah!!!"

As the Goddess of Fortune crooked her finger, the lazy young man, whose bones had been mostly bought out and lay limply beside Leon, suddenly bulged his eyes, letting out an hysterical scream.

"Why... why..."

Once the hellish pain temporarily subsided, the lazy young man, drenched in sweat with bulging veins on his forehead, shivered his lips and exclaimed in confusion,

"Weren’t you asking him questions? Why are you torturing me... for what?"

Of course, because he couldn’t move much anymore.

After glancing at the complaining lazy young man, the Goddess of Fortune raised her right hand again.

Everything Has a Price, Everything Can be Exchanged, Everything Circulates—these were the three abilities imprinted from her divine powers and nurtured by the three Holy Spirits. They were also the foundation for her further ascension to the Master of All.

Regarding the mastery of these three powers, her Holy Spirit might not be weaker than her. However, after coming into contact with this mysterious Level Three Cleanser, the stupid toad’s faith in [Everything Has a Price] collapsed, likely encountering something of immeasurable value.

To avoid meeting the same fate, it was prudent, before figuring out the true nature of that thing, not to use her wealth powers on Leon’s true form. Otherwise, if she directly encountered that thing, it would be troublesome if the powers collapsed.

...

"From now on, every time you refuse me, I will double his pain."

After contemplating how to handle Leon, the Goddess of Fortune spoke to Leon, one word at a time, under the incredulous gaze of the lazy young man,

"Tell me, what secrets do you have on you?"

"..."

"Ah!!!"

"Stop... stop!"

Watching Senior Tom, who had already lost half his bones and was bleeding all over, yet was forced up by the pain, screaming and rolling on the ground, Leon had to cough up blood and speak with difficulty to stop,

"I can... I can tell you, but you must... you have to ensure... make sure we... cough! Cough, cough!"

Because he had taken on most of Senior Tom’s injuries, Leon’s throat and lungs were severely damaged. After barely speaking a couple of sentences, he started coughing up large amounts of blood.

Watching Leon cough for quite a while without recovering, the Goddess of Fortune frowned slightly, habitually picking up two shell coins to buy Leon’s injuries.

However, recalling the shattered soul of a certain toad, she cautiously withdrew her hand, instead kicking the [Plague-Infected Blood Band] at her feet towards him, coldly commanding,

"Heal yourself, after that..."

"Pop, pop, pop, pop!"

Just as the Goddess of Fortune completed her "kick" gesture halfway, the blood plasma staining the floor due to the lazy young man’s pain rolled onto the ground formed into countless dense, sticky, dirty red webs, eerily rising from the ground and rushing towards her.

Then, a ghostly green bead rolled out from Leon’s sleeve, and the sky-reaching Emerald Jungle unfolded with a roar, engulfing the two men and the goddess, whisking them away to a terribly ruined Emerald Valley.

As the Goddess of Fortune, wrapped in blood nets, fell straight into the valley, inside, Emma had been waiting. She immediately unfolded the Execution Platform and flipped open the Joint Responsibility Code. A full thirty thousand bloodstained guillotines sprang forth like mushrooms after rain, set up from the bottom to the peak of the Emerald Valley.

In Leon and Tom’s expectant gaze, the Goddess of Fortune, wrapped in blood nets and capped with a crown of thorns, was swiftly pressed down against the guillotine openings. Thirty thousand gleaming guillotine blades, under thirty thousand horrified pairs of eyes, crashed down upon thirty thousand necks.

"Snap!"
