Volume 1 Chapter 480 Lin Qi's Suspicion

The palace was cold and gloomy.

These two supreme beings, one standing high and looking down, the other sitting low and looking up, look at each other and feel like they are well matched and appreciate each other.

Speaking of Lin Qi's deep thoughts, Lin Qi couldn't help but tease, "Why? Are you disappointed because you saw that the fool you carefully cultivated was not a fool?"

"It was unexpected and even embarrassing."

The Devouring King frowned in acknowledgement.

At this point, they no longer need any disguise, even their embarrassing little thoughts.

"Once, I really believed that you were completely under my control. Now thinking about it, even I can't calm down."

The Devouring King frowned and asked, "When you met those four people that day, did you want to kill them?"

"I met those four people in the deep mountains and old forests. I knew something was fishy. You asked me to avoid those four people, but my doubts deepened. It actually made me more serious. Otherwise, why didn't you use some other excuses? That way, I would have more chances to avoid them. So I know that you want me to get to know them."

The two chatted like old friends. The Devouring King asked, "How many times did you kill?"

"three times."

"When I first saw them, I wanted to kill them." Lin Qi responded, "As you said just now, there was something fishy going on. From then on, I felt that you had arranged this. Although I don't know who you are, I know that you have great powers. But I also want to know what you want to do, so I spared their lives."

"The second time I wanted to kill myself was when they talked about letting me rule the world. I knew then that it was possible that they were saying this for your own purpose. Otherwise, how could you let me do such a big thing when I just came out of retirement? And you happened to say that you would give me the ability to obtain Expectation Coins and Despair Coins, and let me exchange them for goods. Wouldn't that mean you were letting me go out and cause trouble, and then embark on the road of conquest?"

At this point, the Devouring King asked curiously, "Since you realized that this was my purpose, why didn't you kill them immediately?"

Lin Qi shrugged, "How dare I go against your orders? I could only obey, and I even exaggerated it a bit by showing the world map you gave me to those four people. I know they all want to use me, but how could I not use them? I want to see what you are up to."

"How cruel! He knew it was my plan, but he still jumped in."

The Devouring King narrowed his eyes and asked, "What about the third time?"

Lynch smiled and said, "The robbery in Wick Town. I already knew that you wanted me to conquer the world, but I didn't know why. So, I led four ambitious people to make trouble with me, to make things bigger, so that I could see the real strong people in this world so that I could understand this world. But I never thought that I had good luck."

"Good luck?"

"Yes." Lynch's mouth curled up, "Coincidentally, I met Knight Captain Marcus, and in addition, I also met people from the Universal Church. It was at that time that I knew that there might be gods in this world."

"oh?"

The Devouring King was a little confused.

Lin Qi said: "You are mysterious and powerful, unfathomable, but you let me rule the world. Then who do you want to deal with? How can your enemy be someone so weak that even I can't deal with him? Then your enemy is only God!"

"Since then, I have set up an imaginary enemy for you - God."

"So I had murderous thoughts again and tried to kill those four people. But I was still afraid."

The Devouring King took a deep breath, his eyes became colder, and he slowly sat on his iron throne. "I see you are not afraid, you just want to follow the path I have laid out for you to find a deeper truth."

"There is still an element of fear." Lynch grinned, "Of course you are right."

"What a scary guy." The Devouring King's fingers kept tapping on the handle of the throne, getting faster and faster.

He continued to ask: "What happened after you gave up the intention to kill those four people?"

Lynch responded: "Of course I will keep moving forward along the path you have laid out for me."

He smiled and said, "Thanks to you for coming up with a set of expectation coins and despair coins. It's an interesting idea."

"What's interesting about this?"

"Those who give me the Expectation Coins will have trust in me! Then, they can become my subordinates and allies!"

Lin Qi sneered, "And those who have the coin of despair are my enemies."

"In order to earn Expectation Coins and Despair Coins, I can only keep pulling in allies and creating enemies! In the end, what will be the consequences? The world will be polarized and at war with each other. No matter what, at least half of the world's population will be destroyed!"

Lynch stared at the Devouring King and asked, "Am I right?"

"Yes." The Devouring King was somewhat open and aboveboard. "The more people die in your world, the more power it will lose. For me, it will be easier to invade."

Then, he said angrily, "But the number of deaths was much lower than I expected! Perhaps I should have realized at that time that you were deliberately reducing casualties in the war!"

"You showed your greed. When the beast tide attacked Nistad, you didn't kill them. Instead, you let the mythical beasts order the monsters to perform a good show, using the excuse of squeezing out the Expectation Coins and Despair Coins. You even let the mythical beast Xiaobai lead the monsters back to Osdna Forest. The Kingdom of Klei was jealous of you, but you noticed it. It was clearly a good show of one force against another country, with countless casualties, but you went to the Kingdom of Klei, killed the king, and controlled the entire country."

"Even with orcs, you just scare them into submission."

"Even in the later countries, you ended the war in a way that caused the least casualties on both sides."

The Devouring King gnashed his teeth and said, "Originally, a fellow like you who has been controlled by me for a hundred years has unlimited power in vain, and should be slaughtered wantonly!"

"Indeed..."

Lynch had a blank expression on his face. "If it were any other person, he would have slaughtered them wantonly. By saving the Nystad Territory, I gained the favor of the Linton family and had the capital to control the Kingdom of Klei."

"Later, I deliberately chose to build a city in the God's Land near Selby in order to attract the attention of Fort Origi and make Bobo and Dao Ge greedy. After all, these two declining races have such a big backing from me, how could they not want to restore their race's glory?"

Lin Qi's eyes gradually turned cold: "You let me rule the world, then I will obey your will!"

"I slaughtered Selby."

"I used the lives of the soldiers in a city to gain the fear of the entire Fort Orange. With minimal casualties, this stubborn country of Fort Orange fell into my hands!"

"From then on, I began my journey to rule the world with minimal casualties."

"Everything is under my control. In the most ridiculous way, as an incompetent person who has no desires and fears war, I ignited the fuse of the world war!"
