Chapter 252

The evil young white man named Claude sat there, lost in thought.

After a long while, a seemingly beautiful and realistic human sculpture which might have been used for decorative purposes suddenly came alive.

The sculpture was an evil-looking white woman with a sensual figure and fine features. She stretched herself and walked over to Claude, sitting opposite him.

“Your Highness my brother, are you really going to gather all the clan members to crush and topple that Eastern Pharos? Too bad, I was thinking of doing something with him, ” the woman smacked her lips.

Claude did not even glance at her as he said disdainfully, “Claudia, stop fantasizing. You don’t have enough beauty to attract him. I’ve heard that the three daughters of Bai had danced a three-hour rendition of the Dance of Heavenly Fairies, yet he wasn’t even moved.”

“Humph, is he the Eastern Eunuch then?” Claudia said with irritation.

Claude shook his head. “I’m not sure about that, but he’s definitely Dongfang Bubai.”

Claudia said incredulously, “Since you thought so, why did you agree that that Tom’s request? It obviously didn’t possess any good intent.”

Claude said mildly, “What I said then was all true. This Pharos, Vigilante A must be demolished because he’s a fatal threat to our survival. That last sentence was only to reassure that stupid cat.

“We Heliotropes may be good at fighting, but this world has an upper limit of energy. Gathering them up for a fight is only benefiting people who become stronger through fighting like Vigilante A. We cannot be the demolishers, so we have to find a powerful excavator.”

Claudia nodded, then became puzzled. “I knew my brother was no idiot. But where are we going to find this powerful excavator? Just so it’s guaranteed that it could effectively demolish that blinding Pharos of the East.”

Claude smiled. “The true Son of God. Vigilante A may be the Ambassador of Justice, but he’s definitely not the Son of God. I hear the Black Cat Tom has detailed intelligence on this Son of God, since it once tried to reincarnate a powerful demon’s spirit onto the other.”

Claudia said, confused, “Where is there any true Son of God? There are no outsiders here, so I would say it clearly. Whatever God in the Western religions or saints in the Eastern one or godly creators are just myths and legends in this world, aren’t they?

“If they do exist and also possess their mythical power, those Upper Realm beings who had eyed those roles for a long time — such as those three using the names of Three Hindu Gods as a cover — may have intimidating power, but compared to those legendary figures, they are no more than one of their fingertips. How would they dare to do so?”

Claude nodded. “According to the mainstream thinking in the Upper Realm right now, it’s true. Before we came, this world had been purely materialistic, without any sign of the existence of extraordinary powers. Well, at least on Earth there definitely wasn’t, or we wouldn’t have needed this Pharos of the East to extend justice and practice chivalry.

“As for whether they exist in a faraway time and space, we cannot say for sure. After all, after the appearance of Vital Energy, some of their locally-taught rare Cultivation methods could actually be practiced until one attains Extraordinary powers, such as the Eastern Internal Energy methods, the Western witchcraft methods, and also the idolization of unique totems like the Russian spirit bear or the Chinese true dragon.

“That’s why the Upper Realm suspects that they had had a short period of time when Vitality was plentiful, but then it passed. Now that the mysterious meteor came, it entered a period of restoration.”

Claudia suddenly understood. She moved her sensual figure briefly and said, “I suppose you want to use that Son of God and with some work, summon their mythical angels? After all, the humans’ idolization of angels are pretty widespread. The Spirit Bear may not be good in fighting, but there are many war angels.”

“Smart sister. That’s right. If Vigilante A wants to walk the Path of Heavenly Punishment, he would threaten the power of those angels. If we summon them, both sides would have an enormous clash. The importance they place on power is so much more than we could imagine. And then, we can watch the show.” Claude’s face had a strange smile.

Claudia praised him, “My elder brother is truly intelligent. But before we could find that excavator, we need to hide for some time.”

“True, I’ll activate the Heliotrope brand and summon the entire clan back to my castle so the Heliotropes can hibernate for a year. When those angels and Vigilante A has determined who’s the winner then we shall reappear,” Claude said confidently.

Claudia was still slightly worried. If Vigilante A is no match for the angels, then what’ll happen?”

Claude said coldly, “If this worst-case scenario occurs, then we shall remove the constraints and allow those guys to descend to Earth.”

Claudia said disdainfully, “Are you speaking of those Whitestone people? They have already betrayed us Stone Demons. They weren’t content being Upper Realm demons, but wanted to be inferior humans instead. Here in the human world, there are also tales of demons giving up their fairy or demon forms for love. Those are equally idiots and incomprehensible.”

Claude sneered, “At the worst time, a group of idiots helping us to hide is just what we need.”

Claudia laughed. “True. With those people’s traits, Vigilante A would never kill them; and he could never discover our hidden tactics. Even the Heavenly Axiom could not.”

…

The Black Cat Tom did not know that he was just “a stupid cat” to others. It was just gleefully seeking its next target.

It would use Vigilante A’s righteousness as a threat to manipulate large numbers of demons and set up a place where it would set up an Altar of Death; then when Vigilante A started his killing spree, it could reap the Power of Death. What a perfect idea.

It flew through the sky, thinking this with glee.

As it pondered, its eyebrows furrowed.

‘Nope, not right. This does not fit Death’s continuous-development scheme. The number of demons on Earth is limited, and judging by the killing rate of Vigilante A, he would wipe them off the Earth in less than half a year.

‘And after half a year, where would I find my Power of Death?’

The Black Cat Tom started to worry. It then called its most-trusted underling Huang Rui’s phone and poured out all his methods and worries.

The old man Huang Rui said carefully, “Master Tom, your method probably won’t work.”

Tom said irritatedly, “Are you second-guessing the clever and great Tom?”

Huang Rui’s tone was shaky. “I am sorry, Master Tom, I’m just making an analysis based on fact. Now that Vigilante A’s reputation is pretty sound in the underworld, my observations suggest that even many Pond-level Powerhouses are fearful when they hear of him. If he could instantly kill a Lake-level Powerhouse, then what about them?

“I guess when you approach them and tell them that Vigilante A is coming to kill them, then they would most possibly choose to hide deep underground rather than voluntarily challenge him. They are not NPC monsters in games after all.”

“Damn, a bunch of cowards. Where are all your manly fighting attitudes?” the Black Cat Tom, at this, realized that it had severely underestimated Vigilante A’s reputation and overstated their cruelty and thirst for blood.

Their cruelty and thirst for blood were directed towards those weak ordinary humans; when facing a much stronger opponent, they would be as docile as sheep.

Huang Rui then stated, “Master Tom, if you want to use Vigilante A to reap the Power of Death, then I have a new idea, which is absolutely perfect and would make Death happy. It would not disregard the strategy for continuous development.”

The Black Cat Tom listened slowly, then a smile appeared on its feline face.

“Very good. That’s why you’re my military advisor. This way, the stronger Vigilante A was, the more we would benefit from him. As time goes on, we can gather the Power of Death. So what, if he’s cultivating the Path of Heavenly Punishment? The Heavenly Axiom is always stingy, and you get one percent of reward when you give 100 percent. His growth rate definitely will never catch up with Master Death. When Death becomes powerful, he will he would be the last offering.”

Huang Rui praised, “Wise, sir.”

The Black Cat Tom did not reply. It was thinking, ‘Humph, you all would never guess that the fake Death may truly be the last offering. Since I, Tom has worked so hard, it’s not possible that I would not be the boss at the end.’

Thinking gleefully, its form flashed. Now, it was moving towards the coast.

…

Vigilante A’s farm villa in Qi City.

“What? I have the chance to be a real-life Leader of the Martial Arts World?” Fang Ning, having received the latest message from Zheng Dao, paced the System’s cyber cafe with incredulity and excitement.

Ren Ruofeng was starting a civil society called the Alliance of Justice and Order, and he hoped to have Venerable Dragon God as the leader.

Well, was that not equivalent to the Leader of the Martial Arts World?

To a gaming and novel addict like him, the term had been a sacred one. When he was young, one of his greatest fantasies had been him as a Leader, shouting an order which no hero dared disobey. That scene had been deeply entrenched in his mind.

Sir System could not bear this. It reminded him. “They are asking me, not you…”

“What’s the difference?” Fang Ning said carelessly, waving a hand to interrupt its words. “You don’t know how to order those heroes around. Don’t you have to allow me to control Vigilante A’s body?”

The System replied, “… didn’t you claim to have a phobia of social interaction and wanted to continue hiding up here?”

Fang Ning’s brow furrowed and made a very hard decision. “That’s right, but for this heavy responsibility of being the great Leader and representative, I would assume the role even with my sickness.”

“You want to feign wisdom even with your sickness…” Sir System unceremoniously pierced his facade.

Fang Ning retorted, “Alright, that’s what you said. Then I won’t feign, and you can be the Leader.”

The System replied, “I won’t. I don’t possess that sort of boring pride you humans do. It’s nothing to me whether I have a high government position or not. If there are any bad eggs, I would have to be in charge; what a waste of time. If I don’t, then my Reputation would decrease.”

After Fang Ning heard this, his eyeballs turned. “Oh, you’re worrying about that. Then I have to tell you, if there’s a bad egg, doesn’t that mean you have another… monster to farm? Plus, you would have plenty of servants for checking info. Just like the last time you saved Chong Daqing, you don’t have to run around but just arrive at the scene to farm them.”

The System said, “Eh, Big Billionaire, that’s true. If so, who else but me can be the leader? Just like Sir Billionaire said, I would assume my role even if I am seriously injured.”

Fang Ning nodded. This fellow was so straightforward. So what if it could see through him immediately? Catch its weak points, and it would surrender easily.

….

Ren Ruofeng soon received a reply. The Venerable Dragon God could not decline this offer out of the goodness of his heart, and has agreed to shoulder this heavy responsibility. He would uphold justice and protect the peace of this world.

Even though he knew that the other was walking the Path of Heavenly Punishment, Ren Ruofeng felt touched. The Venerable Sir definitely was not after power and position when he agreed to this, but because he deeply loved the world.

Assuming this position was one that meant becoming the archenemy of all demons and deviates. Accepting it was easy, but retiring from it was hard.

Without deep love for the world, no one would dare go through danger for this job. It not only meant honor and effort, but also duty and sacrifice.
