Super God: There's a mischievous Xi in my head

At his peak, it's questionable whether he could even defeat the Flame Emperor.

The person in front of me completely overwhelmed Emperor Yan.

Not only that

The sheer power emanating from the other party, and that domineering, emperor-like aura that seemed to look down upon the world and claim supremacy, was enough to overwhelm them.

Lu Fa dared not entertain any further thoughts;

If I really take the Asura Summoning Device for myself

That's courting death.

"Lord Cangyu is joking. You have kindly lent me the money, how could I be an ungrateful person?"

Cang Yu simply smiled and said, "Is that so? It seems General Lu Fa is truly a good person who abides by moral standards."

While saying this on the surface, I couldn't help but find it somewhat amusing.

How could Cang Yu not know what kind of person Lu Fa is?

If he can defeat you, just wait and see if he'll return the Asura Armor.

Lufa's lips twitched slightly.

He understood the meaning behind Cang Yu's words.

I could only respond with a chuckle.

There's nothing I can do; I can't beat them.

Moreover, the other party has been quite helpful to me... and I also need their help with something.

Naturally, one should adopt a more humble attitude.

I just... hope I'm not mistaken this time.

No, I'm absolutely certain I couldn't have misread it.

A resolute glint flashed in Lufa's eyes.

King Peel was a complete waste; this being, radiating an aura of royalty, was far superior to that trash.

"Actually, besides thanking Lord Cangyu for his help and returning the Shura Summoning Device, I have another matter I would like to ask for Lord Cangyu's help with."

Cang Yu raised an eyebrow: "Oh? Tell me about it."

Lu Fa didn't mince words or insist on speaking with Cang Yu alone; he immediately began recounting the past of the Netherworld Legion.

"Our Netherworld Legion was originally the Royal Guard of Ares."

"After King Peel ascended to the throne, because his achievements threatened the king, he fabricated charges against us in order to consolidate his power... and planted the virus of greed, anger, and ignorance in our bodies..."

"To prove my innocence, I led my men..."

Lu Fa then recounted in detail how the Netherworld Legion had fallen to its current state.

After hearing his story, Angel Yan and the others couldn't help but feel sorrow.

Once a promising, respected, and renowned Royal Guard, they were framed and turned into criminals, infected with a virus that distorted their appearance and corrupted their very hearts...

As one mentally unstable person put it: How big is my fall? From a god! To a prisoner!

After finishing his story, Lu Fa glanced at Cang Yu discreetly and, seeing that the other man's expression remained largely unchanged, secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

At the same time, he thought to himself: As expected...

When the other party approached him earlier and asked, "Do you regret it?", Lu Fa already had a guess.

This person seemed to know them exceptionally well.

But he wasn't sure.

What if it's not what they think? What if the other party minds the innocent people they killed while trying to prove their innocence...?

And so they conclude that the Netherworld Legion is indeed evil, like those armored warriors, and that they should only be sealed away?

The living room was quiet for a moment.

Cang Yu did not answer immediately, but simply raised his hand and gently stroked the Shura Summoning Device on the table, his fingertips pausing for a moment on its cold surface.

"General Lufa," he finally spoke, his voice steady and clear.

"What do you want me to do by telling me all this?"

Lu Fa took a deep breath and straightened his back like a soldier:

"I dare not ask for too much. I only wish that Lord Cangyu could help me and my brothers... to get rid of the virus in our bodies and restore our original appearance."

He paused, his gaze sweeping over Kula, who stood behind him with her head bowed and silent, his voice deepening:

"As for past sins... we will take full responsibility for them once we recover."

Whether facing trial or atoning for their sins through war, the Netherworld Legion will obey orders without question. As long as everyone in the Netherworld Legion is given a chance to return to the right path, Lu Fa will have no complaints.

He spoke these words solemnly and earnestly, without the slightest attempt to evade or make excuses.

"The virus of greed, anger, and ignorance..." Cang Yu said slowly.

"The essence is to use negative energy to distort gene expression and erode consciousness. It is not easy to completely eradicate it, especially since you have been eroded for thousands of years."

Lu Fa's eyes darkened.

But Cang Yu suddenly changed the subject: "But it's incredibly simple for me."

Lufa suddenly looked up.

"I can help you eliminate the virus," Cang Yu continued, his tone calm yet carrying an undeniable authority, "but on one condition."

"Please speak, sir," Lufa said without hesitation.

"After the virus was cleared, the Netherworld Legion—from this day forward, submits to me."

Kula's pupils suddenly contracted behind Lufa.

Shock surged like a tidal wave: both because the other party actually had the ability to eliminate the virus, and because he dared to directly propose that the entire Netherworld Legion submit.

Kula had mixed feelings.

She felt the conditions were a bit outrageous, but a sliver of hope arose in her heart—hoping the general would agree.

But... given the general's proud nature, would he really accept such conditions?

Lufa remained silent for a few seconds.

Time seemed to stretch out, with only the low background noise of the television news and the soft breathing of the people in the living room.

Then, he nodded slowly.

"The Netherworld Legion... has no problem with that."

As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Fa stood up from his chair.

Kula almost held her breath, watching as the once-commanding, unyielding general—

Kneel on one knee.

Kula's eyes widened in disbelief.

Is this really General Rufa?

However, the body reacts faster than the mind.

The instant Lufa knelt down, Kula followed suit, bending his knees and bowing his head in almost perfect unison.

The two stood one in front of the other, their postures respectful and solemn.

Lufa's deep voice rang out clearly in the quiet living room:

"The Netherworld Legion—willing to serve Lord Cangyu."

Cang Yu looked at the two kneeling in front of him but did not speak immediately.

His gaze fell on Lufa's lowered head, then slowly swept over Kula's tense shoulders and back.

The living room was quiet; even the television was muted by Zhixin.

A few seconds later, Cang Yu spoke softly:

Get up.

Lufa raised his head, but did not stand up: "Does Your Excellency accept?"

"You agreed to the conditions I set; I will naturally accept your loyalty." Cang Yu's voice was steady.

"But from this moment on, the Nether Legion is no longer merely 'Ares's rebels,' but warriors under my command. Do you understand this?"

Lu Fa's eyes sharpened: "Understood."

"Very good." Cang Yu nodded, then said, "In that case, go and gather all the warriors of the Netherworld Legion together."

His tone was casual, as if he were merely instructing someone on a trivial matter:

"I will remove the virus for you all at once, so as to save you from dealing with them one by one and causing unnecessary trouble."

An overwhelming excitement flashed in Lu Fa's eyes, and even his voice trembled slightly.

"yes!"
