Lin Qi stared at Otonashi Miki with astonishment and anger, but Otonashi Miki's pupils were lifeless, as if she were sleepwalking, clearly unaware of what she was doing.

What do you want to do?

Aishu, on the other hand, calmed down and stared at Baldbalt with a cold expression.

"My goal is the Philosopher's Stone, which is connected to your heart! Once I obtain the Philosopher's Stone and its vessel, I will be able to open the portal to the Demon Realm! After chaos engulfs the entire Amida Plain, I will become the sole god of Amida Plain! Hahaha! Dedicate your life for the birth of a new god! Come forth, my true form!" 

Because of his smooth sailing and confidence, Baldbart, who was already at Aishu's mercy, made no attempt to hide his true purpose: he possessed a fragment of the God of Chaos's divine essence, and therefore, chaos was the main way for him to become stronger!

Thinking of the bright future ahead, Barudbart immediately forced open the spatial portal again, summoning his true form! A mutated tentacle demon! At first glance, it looked like a man-eating flower covered in tentacles!

"So it's another one who wants to become a god. Why does it seem like becoming a god is so easy? Forget it, I'll stop pretending. Everyone who's going to come is here. I've also found out this guy's goal. Let's unleash the dogs!"

However, just after Baldbart and his true form entered the hall, Lin Qi, who had been pretending to be dead, suddenly stood up, rolled his eyes at Baldbart, and thought that this guy had some lofty goal. He didn't expect him to become a god again. He really had no creativity at all. So Lin Qi shouted loudly.

Before Baldbalt could even react, suddenly, different colored magic runes began to light up on the walls of the entire hall. More than a dozen barriers and inward defensive shields with different functions appeared almost simultaneously, instantly severing all connections between the entire hall and the outside world!

Chapter 131 184

"I just want to ask you who you're calling a dog."

Lin Qi seemed startled, but he quickly recognized who was behind him. Merlin, who was also skilled in stealth and assassination, stared at Lin Qi with an unfriendly expression, clearly dissatisfied with the words "close the door and unleash the dogs" that Lin Qi had just uttered!

Lin Qi rolled his eyes, not taking Merlin's threat seriously at all. Anyway, with the contract in place, this girl couldn't hurt him. The dagger was still a fist's distance from his neck, or more accurately, it was practically on his shoulder. At this distance, even if she really wanted to assassinate him, Lin Qi would have enough time to dodge.

The reason why Meilin was always disobedient was because Lin Qi had forced himself on her and forcibly signed a contract. However, it was precisely because of this that Lin Qi would occasionally tease Meilin and find the feeling of her desperately resisting quite amusing.

Looking at the others, the Dark Queen, Maya, Sophia, and others were also glaring at Lin Qi, clearly dissatisfied with his statement.

Lin Qi thought to himself, "No, I must establish my authority as the master, otherwise these guys will all rebel in the future." So Lin Qi immediately decided to fight back, planning to first pin Mei Lin to the ground and give her a good beating as a warning to others, before dealing with other matters.

"Wang Wang Wang!"

However, before Lin Qi could put his plan into action, a slightly fierce barking suddenly came from among the women.

Everyone froze for a moment, then looked in the direction of the sound. They saw Kaguya glaring at Merlin, gathering her magical power in her hands, ready to attack Merlin at any moment! She looked exactly like Hachiko, the loyal dog protecting his master!

"...Besides Kaguya, that madwoman, there's no one else..."

Merlin and the others twitched at the corners of their eyes. They had forgotten about Kaguya, the fanatical follower of the god. Ever since Lynch became the god of deception, Kaguya's worship of Lynch had reached a crazy level. No matter what Lynch said, he was right!

Merlin immediately sighed, having completely lost interest in Kaguya. "All I did was try to gain everyone's approval and respect, couldn't you just cooperate a little?"

"Wang?"

Then, before Merlin could finish speaking, another dog barked, but this time the tone and sound were much weaker, even filled with fear, making it seem pitiful.

"..."

Everyone stared in stunned silence as to see Princess Prim! Seeing everyone's gaze fixed on her, Prim immediately trembled and lowered her head in fear.

"Very well! I am very pleased today. Tonight, I will choose Kaguya and Prim! All other concubines shall be banished to the Cold Palace!"

Lynch was in a great mood and loudly announced his decision. Immediately, as if receiving some kind of signal, everyone returned to a state of high alert. The people who had been playing around before suddenly stared at Barudbart with serious expressions. Merlin also disappeared from behind Lynch at some point.

"You, you, you! Don't think that just because I'm joking around with my girls, you can do whatever you want!"

Lin Qi, with the expression of a proctor catching a student cheating, roared loudly at Baldbart!

"Although I don't know who you are, or how you tracked my movements, since you insist on ruining my plans, then you'll have no choice but to die along with this witch! Surprise attack!"

Barudbart snorted coldly. The scene in the hall was indeed far beyond his expectations. He hadn't expected there to be a trap waiting for him. Although Barudbart couldn't understand how his plan had been exposed, he still launched an attack! Countless tentacles suddenly burst out from the sofas on Lynch and Aishu, instantly piercing Aishu, while Lynch used his Flying Kick to dodge!

After realizing it was a trap, Bardbart's first thought was how to escape. So he had his tentacles pierce the ground. The surrounding walls and ceiling were all covered with barriers, and it seemed that the ground was the only way to break through. Unfortunately, the ground was also filled with barriers and magic circles. Therefore, he had to abandon the idea of ​​breaking through the barriers and instead launched a surprise attack on Aishu. If he could obtain the Philosopher's Stone, he would have a chance to escape by relying on the power contained within it!

However, Bardbart, who had succeeded in his attack, was not happy at all. Instead, his face was gloomy and ugly because Aishu, whom he had pierced, had simply turned into a wisp of green smoke and disappeared! It was a fake! And Bardbart, with his discerning eye, had not noticed this at all!

"You idiot, you still can't tell this is fake?"

Lynch immediately began to mock loudly. From the very beginning, the Aishu that Baldbart saw was fake. It was just Lynch's phantom clone using the newly acquired divine skill [Cloak of Deception] to disguise itself as Aishu. At Lynch's current level, none of those below the sixth rank could see through the disguise of the Cloak of Deception, and Baldbart, who was only a fifth-rank ninth-level being, was even less likely to see through it!

What? You're asking about that intense fight scene between Lin Qi and his clone, who was actually Ai Xiu? Did Lin Qi try having sex with himself? Don't worry about the details!

"And what do you think we've been doing all this time? I'm genuinely poisoned by your poison, and I was just waiting for it to completely dissipate and become paralyzed! I never expected to get caught in the crossfire too! Maybe if you had attacked from the start, or forced your way through the defenses and escaped, you would have succeeded. Now, hmph, you're just waiting to die! Attack! Tanks, go in and initiate the team fight! Mages, position yourselves and deal damage! Protect yourselves! Healers, keep the tanks healed! Assassins, stealthily find an opportunity to stab him in the back! Stab him until he can't take care of himself!"

Just as Barud was furious, Lynch gave another explanation: the only unexpected thing in the plan was that Lynch didn't expect that even he would fall for it!

Fortunately, Baldbalt used a neurotoxin from the Demon Realm, and the spider happened to bite the left hand parasitized by the Holy Demon Touch. One of the hidden properties of the Holy Demon Touch is resistance to neurotoxins. After all, the Holy Demon Touch itself carries an extremely powerful neurotoxin, which is why Lin Qi was still able to move after being hit.

Initially, the drama that Merlin and the others put on was just Lynch giving them the maximum freedom to improvise and buy time. Although Merlin stood behind Lynch threatening him with a dagger, she was actually the one who could protect him the most. If Barud Barut suddenly attacked Lynch, Merlin would drag Lynch away immediately!

After the reason was explained, everyone immediately went all out. Sofia, Sigurd, Maya, the eldest princess, and Lulu were the first to step forward!

Chapter 132 185

This wasn't the first time the group had ganged up on the boss, so their teamwork was quite seamless.

As the five warriors and tanks charged forward, the Elf Goddess, Kaguya, and the Little Princess successively buffed the five. After Kaguya used up the few buffs she had, she began to join the Dark Queen in casting a massive amount of curses and negative status effects on Baldbalt. In the blink of an eye, Baldbalt was covered in black aura and colorful grime!

Meanwhile, Merlin and Lynch disappeared from the hall; when they did make a move, it was a swift and decisive strike.

The only regret is that the high-combat-power anti-demon ninjas and Ingrid were left behind to handle matters in the demon realm, to consolidate forces and collect faith for Lynch. Otherwise, they would have been a better choice to use them at this time!

Bardbart was clearly a seasoned veteran. As the others began their attack, he jumped onto the tentacle demon, whose main body resembled a man-eating flower. He hid his body inside the tentacle demon's stomach, leaving only his head exposed, and used his seemingly endless tentacles to fight back.

After the initial panic subsided, Barudbart calmed down and roared at the crowd with a cold smile. He soon realized that although these people had many different moves, they were not very strong, and there wasn't even a single fourth-tier fighter among them.

When faced with Baldbalt, who was about to break through to the sixth rank, those below the fourth rank were like dogs, and even more third-rank beings wouldn't be enough for him to slaughter. If he weren't aiming to become a god, he would have already broken through to the sixth rank. Once he entered the sixth rank, dealing with these third-rank beings would be a piece of cake.

"Although I don't know where Aishu found so many specially capable helpers, it's a pity your strength is too weak! Fire a barrage of arrows!"

Regardless of what Barudbart was thinking, after figuring out the true nature of these people, he immediately shouted, and countless tentacles, like sharp arrows, locked onto their targets and shot out!

"Ding Ding Ding!"

However, to Baldbart's surprise, his tentacles didn't kill anyone instantly! A semi-transparent shield suddenly appeared in front of everyone, blocking the tentacle's piercing attack! Kaguya, on the other hand, coughed up blood, looked exhausted, and collapsed to the ground!

Without a doubt, all these shields were formed by Kaguya. In a sense, Kaguya is actually the strongest of all, because she abandoned all attack methods and focused on defense. Given enough time and materials, she could even block an attack from an Angel!

Fortunately, Kaguya had made ample preparations before Baldbalt arrived, which barely allowed her to withstand Baldbalt's group attack!

However, this also led to Kaguya suffering the strongest counterattack. It was a miracle that she didn't die. The little princess and the fairy goddess cast multiple healing and recovery spells to barely stabilize her injuries. Even so, Kaguya still didn't have a second chance to create a shield for everyone.

Of course, Kaguya didn't need to make a second move, because Merlin and Lynch, who had been waiting for an opportunity, acted the moment Bald Balt's ultimate attack was blocked!

To be precise, it was Merlin who struck first! Merlin didn't choose to engage in close combat, but instead hid in a corner of the ceiling, using a sophisticated sniper rifle to precisely aim at Baldbart's head! She used a specially crafted armor-piercing explosive bullet incorporating magic! The bullet's surface was covered in magical runes, and its core was a highly concentrated light-elemental magic crystal capable of dealing exponential damage to demons. Upon hitting its target, it would unleash three effective attacks, especially the final burst of light-elemental magic crystal, enough to blast his head apart!

Barudbart seemed to realize the threat of the bullet, and immediately, like a turtle hiding in its shell, it shrank its head and completely hid inside the tentacle demon's stomach!

Although Merlin's attack was dodged, she revealed a smile of a successful sneak attack, because at the same moment Baldbalt ducked his head, Lynch made his move! Lynch directly used the Flying Kick to appear behind Baldbalt's main body!

"Vacuum Blade! Charged Strike! Demon Devour!"

The golden attack, after ten seconds of charging, was enhanced with the Vacuum Blade that ignores defense, and combined with the Demon Devouring that can devour demons, the three combined skills slammed into Baldbalt's main body!

"what!"

Immediately, Baldbalt's true form let out a strange scream, and a huge gap appeared on its back. The Holy Demon Touch slammed into Baldbalt's back, which was hiding inside! Then, another scream followed!

"Even the Apostles died at my hands, what are you, a piece of trash who hasn't even reached the sixth rank, spouting nonsense here?"

Lin Qi, having landed a successful blow, did not continue to expand his advantage. Instead, he made a leaping slash, turned around, and ran away. Lin Qi did not believe that such a being, who was so close to the sixth rank, would not have any other trump cards!

Of course, despite the tactical retreat, Lynch's words were still full of disdain for Barudbart!

In truth, Lin Qi couldn't help but sigh inwardly. After acquiring the Holy Demon Touch, Lin Qi thought he was invincible, but he didn't expect that even with the Holy Demon Touch, his attacks were still insufficient against high-level beings. This was the second time the Holy Demon Touch had failed to completely devour a demon. The previous one was a sixth-level Divine Apostle, and Lin Qi could accept that it couldn't be devoured, but he didn't expect that this fifth-level, ninth-rank tentacle demon in front of him would also fail to be devoured!

The difference in rank really does make up for the difference in equipment!

Fortunately, Lin Qi ran fast. No sooner had Lin Qi left than countless sharp, blade-like tentacles shot out from the back of the Tentacle Demon! The walls that were hit in the distance were directly corroded with several gaps, and even the barrier was damaged!

"Damn it! You're a demon too?! Your true form is a tentacle demon at the level of a sacred beast?! No! The scent on you is pure human!" 

Baldbalt turned around and glared at Lynch, staring at Lynch's left arm with a look of astonishment. Under normal circumstances, ordinary people couldn't hurt him at all! But the one who attacked was a tentacle demon of the same lineage and of a higher rank!

Baldbalt's original form was a tentacle demon from the Demon Realm. Even as a mutant, his strength was at most comparable to a tentacle demon at the Demon King level. Above the Demon King, there are two even higher-level beings: the Great Demon King and the Holy Beast!

He was certain that the beast that had just severely injured him was at the level of a sacred beast! But now, looking at Lin Qi, he only had the aura of a human! This suddenly left Barudbart completely confused about what Lin Qi really was!

"Don't compare me to you despicable, shameless, lewd, arrogant, ignorant, and unrealistic demons! Have you ever seen a demon as handsome as me?!"

Chapter 133 186

"So what if you can hurt me! I am a mutated tentacle demon! My special ability is immortality and regeneration! As long as you can't kill me instantly, I can regenerate continuously in a short period of time! Today, you will all die here!"

Barud's face turned extremely ugly after being sprayed by Lynch like a machine gun! But he quickly regained his ferocious expression! The severe wounds he had just suffered from Lynch were healing rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye!

Not only did it heal rapidly, but Barud was clearly enraged. After a roar, his body suddenly began to change. Tentacles began to grow one by one, including sharp mouthparts. Regardless of how lethal those sharp teeth were, the saliva that dripped down immediately made a "hissing" sound on the ground and corroded a deep pit. Lin Qi knew that this thing was not to be touched!

"A fifth-tier, ninth-level being is truly monstrous! But thankfully, I never intended to kill you with my own strength! Don't you know this is a trap?! When a large prey is caught in a trap, it's usually not lethal; it's just to restrict its movement, waiting for the hunter to shoot it dead! Where do you think the real Red Queen is?"

Lin Qi cursed angrily. Sure enough, these high-level beings were not to be trifled with; these special races even possessed racial talents and bonuses! Compared to them, humans were truly trash! Not only did they lack racial talents, but they also had no attribute bonuses! They were already losing at the starting line!

However, after calculating the time, Lin Qi sneered without any fear and suddenly began to explain the true definition of his so-called trap to Barud.

A bad feeling immediately rose in Barud's heart, because she suddenly remembered a question that she had been ignoring: if Aishu, whom she had defeated in an instant, was fake, then where was the real Aishu?!

"Hey, are you done yet?! I've kept you waiting this long! If you don't hurry up, I promise you won't even be able to touch a cucumber again!"

Before Barud could even figure out what was going on, Lynch suddenly roared into the hall! And he issued the most terrifying threat to Aishu!

"boom!"

Perhaps because Lin Qi's threat was too severe, a thunderclap suddenly rang out from above everyone's heads, and the next moment the entire ceiling was blasted open with a huge hole. Even the magic circle and barrier that everyone had cast together could not stop it at all!

After the ceiling of the hall was blasted open, another layer of ceiling was revealed, composed of countless metal contraptions! Barud immediately recognized that all of these metals were rare magical metals! And more than a dozen different magic arrays were operating on these magical metals! Even with Barud's limited knowledge, he could only discern the general functions of a few of these magic arrays! Undoubtedly, these magic arrays were all very strange, complex, and rare! Most importantly, they possessed immense power!

"It's been a long time since we've activated the spatial sealing array and the destruction array simultaneously. The magic array is almost broken. It took some time to repair it. Alright, now that the rats are in the cage, you bait can get out of here."

Aishu's voice came from the metal ceiling, with a light laugh and a hint of mockery. Aishu, who had mastered the Philosopher's Stone, was very afraid of death. So over the years, she used her abilities and power to collect a huge amount of resources to build the Red Sky Tower's defense system. What others did not know was that there was also a terrifying attack system!

No matter who the enemy is, anyone who dares to invade will be blasted to smithereens by Aishu! If it weren't for that damn protagonist, Tachibana Rikuro, who infected her with a disease by falling for Aishu, causing her to lose all her magic and become unable to move, she wouldn't have lost to Bald and ultimately been murdered and robbed.

However, due to Lynch's strong intervention this time, the situation was completely reversed. Barud did come, but he fell into Lynch's trap and was trapped by Aishu's double formation!

Lynch risked staying in the hall for two main reasons. First, his previous battle with the sixth-tier apostle had left him very displeased. Faced with a sixth-tier attack, he hadn't even had a chance to retaliate, so he wanted to see just how big the gap was between him and a fifth-tier, ninth-level apostle. The second reason was simply to keep Barud there, buying Ai Xiu enough time to activate the dual array. If Ai Xiu immediately revealed the dual array, Barud might forcefully break through and escape. Lynch, on the other hand, was only third-tier; although he outnumbered him, Barud didn't take him seriously. This was the main reason Barud didn't flee immediately after realizing it was a trap!
