"Revenge? Hahaha, can you stop being so funny? Or is it that as the goddess of discord, all you do is stir up trouble?"
Eris's words made Li Xuanzu burst into laughter.
Seeing that the other party did not speak, Li Xuanzu continued to explain to himself.
"With your brain, you couldn't have started such a complex war. It seems the mastermind is someone else."
"But I still have to explain it to you."
"Do you think the five divine kingdoms in the Mediterranean region combined are enough to defeat the Dragon Kingdom?"
This statement hit the nail on the head, and Eris still couldn't find the words to refute it.
"It's called a divine kingdom, but it just has a few more high-level exorcists. Think about it yourselves. How many fourth-level psionicists were there when you attacked Kyoto? And think about how many safe points there are in the Dragon Kingdom."
"The combined number of fourth-tier psionicists from the five divine kingdoms is less than the combined number from the two safest points, Kyoto and Shanghai, in the Dragon Kingdom. Do you really think that a few divine messengers and you half-crippled gods can be invincible in the world?"
Li Xuanzu's words were all exquisite, especially when he spoke of "a god who is half-crippled but not useless," at which point Eris could no longer hide the shock on her face.
Eris's flickering light made it difficult to discern the expression on his face, but it did not escape Li Xuanzu's detection.
Are you surprised?
"You must have found it to be a time-consuming and laborious task to control fourth-tier psionicists in the Dragon Kingdom from so far away, relying on the power of faith?"
This is not hard to guess; the energy transfer process will definitely involve some consumption.
Especially considering the sheer scale of this operation, the ability to control over a dozen fourth-tier spiritualists in the Dragon Kingdom suggests that the resources of these five great divine kingdoms have been largely depleted.
And that is indeed the case.
“I don’t care about you gods or chosen ones or anything like that. I only care about what I can get from it.”
“During your invasion of the Dragon Kingdom, you damaged buildings and, in a sense, hindered the Dragon Kingdom’s reproduction, so I lost something, and you have to compensate me.”
Li Xuanzu pondered for a while, looking like a rogue.
"You...don't be ridiculous, this is pure extortion, utter nonsense!"
Eris's eyes widened in anger, and a hint of displeasure crept onto her pretty face.
“I also think it’s pretty ridiculous, but you need to understand, you are my prisoner, so you have no right to refute me.”
After Li Xuanzu finished speaking, he moved his divine sense, and several more golden chains burst out from his back.
"Ahhh!"
Eris was pierced through both sides by chains, the other end of which materialized and embedded itself deeply into the floor of the conference room.
Gods are just energy beings; their strength lies in their high degree of adaptability.
"Okay, let me tell you what I want."
Li Xuanzu seemed to find the other party too noisy, so he summoned another chain and pierced it through Eris's mouth until it went through the back of her head, with one end of the chain embedded in the ceiling of the conference room.
"I won't compete with you for any power of faith. I want the people of Serbia to contribute their blood to me every six months. If you disagree, I will just drain the blood of all the people of Serbia, and you, this goddess, will probably dissipate due to insufficient divine power."
"So? If you agree, nod; if you disagree, then I can only express my regret."
Li Xuanzu looked at the goddess who was imprisoned before him and stated his conditions.
"Ugh, cough cough, vomit!"
Eris seemed to want to shake his head, but the chains in his mouth caused him considerable pain.
Li Xuanzu's chains of divine consciousness targeted the energy body itself, directly sealing Eris's language ability. Otherwise, how could a god be unable to speak simply because his mouth was sealed?
The more Eris struggled, the stronger the chains within him grew, further exacerbating his damage.
"Why invite trouble upon yourself? It's just a little blood. Are you really willing to give up your own life and the lives of your followers for such a thing? That's hardly wise, or is your mind filled only with conflict?"
Li Xuanzu put on a painstaking and earnest expression and began to lecture, simply to persuade the other party.
He dared not let Eris simply vanish; the survival of Earth was tied to these gods, and what if the Heavenly Dao of Earth intervened again...
Thinking of this, Li Xuanzu couldn't help but feel a chill.
"Waaaaah! Ugh, cough, cough, cough!"
Eris was still struggling; her body was almost transparent, and she seemed about to dissipate.
No, it seems like He has something to say!
With a wave of his hand, Li Xuanzu swiftly retracted all the chains binding Him into his body.
As soon as Eris's foot touched the ground, she was weak and about to fall.
Li Xuanzu swiftly grabbed the other person's uninjured neck and lifted him up.
"Heh heh, the blood of the fortress's citizens? Others may be fools, but I'm not! At worst, I'll just dissipate, not die. Let a petty person like you..."
With her collarbone pierced, Eris had no strength left in her arm, but the murderous intent in her eyes seemed to materialize and strangle Li Xuanzu on the spot.
"Looks like you're not stupid after all, no matter what the issue is."
Li Xuanzu released his grip in disgust, letting Eris fall to the ground and let out several screams.
"But it doesn't matter. I have a hundred ways to make you work without being killed. Since you're so unreasonable, there's nothing I can do about it."
A ruthless glint flashed in Li Xuanzu's eyes, making Eris feel a chill, and the killing intent that had just risen within him was suppressed somewhat.
"Heh, trying to humiliate me? Do you think my crippled body cares about such things? Go ahead and kill me if you dare!"
Eris, with a fierce and resolute demeanor, suddenly became incredibly righteous.
Her body was covered in wounds and bloody holes, and her tattered gauze dress, which, combined with her stunning beauty, made her look like a fallen fairy with a broken beauty.
"You guessed right, but I'm not the kind of person who's satisfied with just carnal pleasures."
Li Xuanzu suddenly laughed, a very eerie laugh.
Seeing Li Xuanzu like this, Eris felt a little scared, but in order to prevent Li Xuanzu from achieving his goal, He still resolutely raised His head.
But soon, He could no longer lift His head.
Li Xuanzu deliberately condensed the chains of divine consciousness into fingers-thickness, and dozens of such chains pierced through the joints of Eris's body.
His eyes and ears were pierced, but he could still see and hear.
Her slender, alluring legs were tightly bound by several chains, which were digging deep into them.
Li Xuanzu also deliberately used his divine sense to deprive Him of His ability to speak.
Eris could not withstand such torture, and her body became increasingly transparent.
But it has not dissipated for a long time.
Li Xuanzu was using his divine consciousness to prolong His life, just as he had saved Qian Gang back then.
"Oh dear, what a pitiful goddess! You tell me, if I drag you through the streets like this, do you think they'll grant my request, since you love your people so much?"
Li Xuanzu whispered in Eris's ear, like a devil's whisper.
