This villain is too popular.

Chapter 273 I can bully you, but you can't.
"Heavens! Heavenly Dao! You stop right there!"

Jing Liuli huffed and puffed, looking as tired as a little puppy, sticking out her tongue and panting.

She had been chasing Tiandao for almost ten minutes. Every time she reached out, she was about to touch the hem of his clothes, but her fingertips would always be suddenly pushed away by an invisible force, as if she were hitting soft cotton. She couldn't even catch a glimpse of his shadow.

Vector control is such a powerful ability, it's practically designed to bully people!
Seeing Jing Liuli stop, Tiandao also stopped and said with a smile, "You wanted to chase after her yourself, I didn't force you."

Looking at the still Heavenly Dao, Jing Liuli, disregarding all martial ethics, launched herself into the air and flew away again on the Dream Pillow.

But when faced with this guy's sneak attack, Tiandao easily dodged it by turning to the side.

"Again? The ice cream in your hand is almost melted. Stop chasing me, you can't catch me."

"I want you to take care of it!"

Jing Liuli hovered angrily in mid-air, her eyes filled with resentment as she looked at the Heavenly Dao.

But despite her words, her gaze still fell on the nearly melted ice cream in her hand.

This is what Caroline bought for her just now to comfort her.

As a result, although she got the ice cream, she still did not give up 'hunting down' Tiandao.

It's a case of taking the money but doing nothing.

However, faced with absolute power, she truly had no way to deal with the Heavenly Dao.

Then, her eyes darted around before she shouted at Caroline, who was sitting quietly reading a book on a bench not far away, "Sister Caroline! You have to do something about Heaven's will! It's bullying me again!"

Hearing Liuli's voice, she closed the book in her hand, took out a piece of candy from her pocket, unwrapped it, and waved to Liuli.

"Alright, Liuli, stop chasing me. Come here and have a candy."

"The amusement park's fireworks show starts in five minutes. If we keep making noise, we won't be able to find a good spot later."

Rather than blaming Heaven, Caroline preferred to stand on Heaven's side and help him resolve unnecessary 'trouble'.

Upon hearing Caroline's words, Jing Liuli immediately flew to Caroline's side, hugged her arm, pressed her face against her shoulder, and said coquettishly, "Sister Caroline is the best! Unlike some people, who only know how to bully me!"

As she spoke, Jing Liuli deliberately raised her head and raised an eyebrow at Tiandao, looking smug as if to say, "Look, even Sister Caroline is on my side. This time, it's our turn to isolate you!"

In response, Tiandao adjusted his sunglasses with annoyance.

"childish."

"Hehe, what's it to you?"

Caroline laughed and stuffed the candy into Jing Liuli's mouth, silencing her who still wanted to fight against the Heavenly Dao, and then wiped away the ice cream cream left on the corner of her mouth.

"Let's go to the observation deck up ahead; the view is great from there."

"Ok!"

Jing Liuli took Caroline's hand and stood up, walking side by side toward the distant observation deck.

Strangely, even though both of them had left, Tiandao inexplicably stayed behind alone and did not follow them.

A moment later, Tiandao slowly took off his sunglasses and wiped the smile off his face.

"Come out. You've been following us for so many days, it's been a bit tough for you."

As soon as Tiandao finished speaking, two dark figures emerged from the shadows of the amusement park's streetlights.

They wore black cloaks, and on their left cheeks were ice crystal masks similar to those worn by the mysterious figure in the City of Scarlet Mist. The edges of the masks were covered with tiny frost flowers, making them look like two lifeless ice sculptures.

The same ice crystal mask, the same cold indifference, and eyes that showed no emotion whatsoever.

Without a doubt, these two are also members of the 'Frost Sound Family - Star Frost Faction'.

It was clearly these two who ambushed the Heavenly Dao, yet they were the ones currently facing a formidable enemy.

This shows just how dangerous the Heavenly Dao is in the hearts of these two people.

Looking at the two people who were standing dozens of meters away from him, Tiandao did not rush to make a move.

He put his sunglasses in his pocket and joked, "Your Starfrost faction is really interesting. The AI ​​system uses emotional stripping to eliminate interference and focus on calculations."

"You guys are really something else. For the sake of that so-called 'ultimate frost,' you're even freezing your emotions, unable to feel joy, anger, sorrow, or happiness. What's the difference between you and being dead?"

Upon hearing this, the taller man among the two did not respond, but instead asked directly, "What conditions do you want to give up protecting the Mirror Glass?"

"Are you trying to bribe me?"

Tiandao raised an eyebrow, a sly glint in his eyes. "Alright, tell me, what bargaining chips do you have to make me give up protecting her?"

The tall man remained silent for a moment before revealing his stake.

"The source power of a Calamity-level expert, you should know the value of this thing."

Upon hearing this offer, Tiandao did not react in any particular way.

He certainly knew the value of this thing, because there were many conditions that a Star Envoy needed to meet in order to successfully break through to the Calamity level.

But the most difficult part is undoubtedly obtaining a source of natural disasters.

For most people who want to break through to the Calamity level, they need to obtain the Calamity Origin.

They either have to pay an exorbitant price to exchange for it from a powerful force, hunt down catastrophe-level star beasts, or hunt down catastrophe-level star envoys within the new federation.

In the first season of Stellaris, the reason why Doctor Dragon went to such great lengths to attract a Cataclysmic powerhouse from the Iron Dome family was...

It was all for the sake of the 'Intelligent Machine-type Cataclysmic Origin - Perpetual Motion Heart' within his body.

And now this tall guy is actually willing to trade a source of natural disaster for the Heavenly Dao.

This shows that in their view, the Way of Heaven has a value comparable to ordinary natural disasters.

However, the answer that Heaven gave next was both expected and unexpected for the tall man.

"The bargaining chips you mentioned are indeed good, but unfortunately, they are not important to me."

"Yeah."

The tall man was silent for a moment, then exchanged a glance with the short man beside him and said, "In that case, please stay here with us for the time being, Heavenly Fate Master."

As they spoke, the temperature around them suddenly dropped sharply, and frost formed on the streetlights.

The next second, a vast blizzard instantly enveloped them and the Heavenly Dao.

When the blizzard subsided, only the empty ground remained under the streetlights. Tiandao and the two men in black had vanished without a trace.

Shortly after the disappearance of the Heavenly Dao, the scene in the movie switched to Caroline and Jing Liuli.

"Caroline, how long do you think it will take for Heaven to deal with those two guys?"

On a bench in the center of the amusement park, Jing Liuli leisurely ate her ice cream while curiously asking Caroline next to her a question.

Caroline calmly replied, "I should be able to return before the fireworks festival begins."

Jing Liuli looked down at the watch on her wrist.

"That's only five minutes, right?"

"You took down two special level-three Star Envoys who could use the Fusion Domain in five minutes? Caroline, do you really trust the Heavenly Dao that much?"

In response, Caroline said calmly, "This is not about trust, but about stating the facts."

"After all, he can see and decide his own future, so everything he does is meaningful."

"makes sense."

Jing Liuli nodded, then continued to leisurely lick the ice cream in her hand.

Because, like Caroline, she didn't believe that the Heavenly Dao would encounter any danger.

After all, Tiandao had told her a day earlier that someone was following them.

But Heaven said it was alright, and let them follow along.

Although she didn't understand why Heaven was doing this, since Heaven had said so, she would just listen to it.

What she didn't know was that the reason Heaven deliberately kept those two alive was to create a contrast with the main characters.

After all, only through comparison can differences be revealed.

If he had dealt with those two guys earlier, it would have just been a matter of dealing with them, and wouldn't have made the audience in the anime/manga/game world feel anything special.

Why? Isn't it only natural that Heaven will prevail?

But if the Heavenly Dao overwhelmingly crushes the enemy first, and the protagonist group is overwhelmingly crushed by the enemy, won't this contrast come soon?

When it comes to generating popularity and creating impactful effects, Tiandao is also the strongest!
