Chapter 42 Bellit 34

"Deicide? Hiss..."

Hearing this, even the bearded man who was immersed in the joy of meeting his daughter couldn't help but take a breath of cold air. It's not that killing a god is so terrible and impossible. In essence, gods are actually the result of the upgrading of powerful creatures on the continent of the Ten Thousand Worlds. Very few gods have divinity at birth.

Since most gods have the same origin in essence, killing a god is not an impossible thing. Not to mention ten thousand years ago, it was still the ancient times. At that time, there were not many species of creatures, and the number was not large. They were far away from each other. There were many creatures that were upgraded to gods, and their abilities were uneven.

In order to quickly improve their strength and break through the bottleneck, creatures that specialized in hunting gods and seizing their godhood often appeared at that time. Not to mention the great annihilation of the gods before the twilight of the gods, the gods fought each other. Among them, the gods headed by the goddess of fate stood out. The goddess of fate hunted a large number of godhoods and became the well-deserved head of the gods.

And it was after the goddess of fate that each country had its own unique and powerful gods to bless it. When the gods fell, the country would often be annexed. The birth of new gods often meant the rise of a perhaps powerful country. So after the new century, killing gods, or actions that may represent killing gods, all meant declaring war on a country.

So this is what surprised Hu Zitou. If Bellit wants to kill God, he will have to take the risk of destroying his country, and may even face the joint pursuit of several other countries. This is no small matter, and it may lead to a new war among gods, and perhaps we will have to enter a new century again.

"Although killing gods is not without precedent, after such a long period of screening and annexation, the gods that exist now are no longer comparable to the so-called Ten Thousand Gods. They are real, genuine gods who can destroy an entire country with a wave of their hands. Even a hundred copies of Lilith are not enough."

"What if humans create gods?"

"Create gods? Do you mean the upgrading of living beings?"

For people after the Annihilation of Ten Thousand Gods, most of them only have the impression of the upgrading of gods in history books, and have not witnessed it. Even if there are records in ancient books, no one has ever succeeded.

But Chu Cheng thinks this is not impossible. Whether in comics or in his communication with the indigenous people, he was constantly told about the power of the goddess of fate. He was confident that the goddess of fate was definitely the final boss that Carl and others would face.

Since the gods were already so powerful, and there were other gods standing on their side, how could Carl and others with flesh and blood win? Even if he summoned a hundred dragons, it would not be enough to fill the gaps in his teeth.

Chu Cheng could only think of two possibilities: Carl had instigated all the gods except the goddess of fate to rebel, and the whole world was hostile to the goddess of fate. The second possibility was that Carl was promoted. The fighting power of the new gods was infinite, and any setting was possible. It was very likely that Carl would directly upgrade and explode to destroy the goddess of fate.

Even if it was the first possibility, Chu Cheng believed that Carl could at least have the ability to rival God. Then he, as the villain, competes with the goddess of fate. If Chu Cheng wants to defeat the goddess of fate and become the real final boss, then he must try to upgrade, otherwise Chu Cheng should be excluded from the poison circle before entering the final battle.

The bearded man frowned, and his thick fingers repeatedly rubbed his wrinkled skin. Under his thick eyebrows was a thoughtful expression. But soon he opened his brows. Whether the killing of gods is true or not, it doesn't matter to him at this moment.

After all, Perna is really lying in the bathtub. Chu Cheng expressed his doubts about this. He reasonably speculated that Lilina was Perna based on the comics, but the bearded man didn't know this. Can you really find your biological daughter just by blood connection? Chu Cheng, who had never experienced the true family love, could not understand or empathize.

Hu Zitou's eyes stayed on Perna, and his big hands gently brushed Perna's soft long hair. The mermaid, who had originally looked listless, now looked like a child who had obtained her most beloved toy, lying obediently in the water without a single splash of water.

"Maybe... from the first moment I saw her, I felt that she was Perna... blood relationship is a wonderful thing. And Perna's mother has half mermaid blood, and Perna may have regressed to her ancestry."

Chu Cheng didn't know whether to accept this answer full of family romance, love and care, and he didn't dwell on it. He now had the same idea as Hu Zitou, which was to transfer Perna to a safe place.

The inn is owned by Oliver, but Oliver has never concealed the relationship between Oliver and Bearded Man, because Oliver was once a core member of the Sky Lab, and even if he quit, his outstanding achievements could not be concealed. Therefore, he also has certain connections among high-level government officials, which is also the reason to ensure that no one will come to Oliver's inn because of hatred for Bearded Man.

But now that they have teamed up to steal the experimental subjects of the Sky Lab, they cannot put them in Oliver's open territory, which is simply inviting a wolf into the house. Oliver needs and must put Perna in a place that has nothing to do with him in public. Otherwise, if he is related to Perna, the people in the laboratory will immediately suspect that they have discovered the secret that the laboratory wants to cover up, and then they will have no place in Bellit.

Thinking of this, Hu Zitou looked up at Chu Cheng. Chu Cheng understood what he meant, and he meant the same thing. Although for Hu Zitou, sending Perna to Chu Cheng's territory was tantamount to handing over a hostage in person, in this way, Chu Cheng asked him to go east, and he dared not go west.

But he had no other choice. In Bellit, Hu Zitou could not tell a third person the fact that Perna was not dead. Even if there was, their strength was not enough to protect Perna after the truth was revealed, so the only person they could rely on was Chu Cheng. The strength displayed by Chu Cheng was the reason why Hu Zitou had to yield.

"Don't worry, Perna will be fine."

Hu Zitou did not answer for a long time. After a while, he sighed deeply and nodded heavily. Chu Cheng curled his lips, raised his hand to open a portal, and easily sent Perna in. Chu Cheng sent her to no other place, but to the auction house where the Golden Hat was.

Accidents could happen in anyone's hands, but not the Golden Hat. The Golden Hat probably knew Lilith's face. Even if he didn't, the Golden Hat must understand the importance of this mermaid and would definitely do his best to protect this mermaid. And he didn't have to worry about the Golden Hat taking this mermaid to do other things. As long as he saw the mark on the wrist of this mermaid, he knew that if he let this mermaid out, he would definitely be hunted down.

"...Ah...Ah!! Dad...Dad!"

Perna didn't understand what was going to happen, but she knew that she seemed to be separated from her father. She desperately grabbed the corner of Hu Zitou's clothes, and her small and soft hands exerted tremendous strength at this moment.

Hu Zitou gently rubbed her fingers with one finger, but he was reluctant to let go. However, he knew that it would be unsafe for Perna to stay in the hotel for a second longer, so he could only harden his heart, tear off a piece of his clothes, kiss the corner of Perna's eyes, and send the helpless Perna into the portal.

Hu Zitou watched the portal slowly close until it completely disappeared into the air, still standing there in a daze. Unfortunately, the next second Chu Cheng mercilessly snapped his fingers, interrupting Hu Zitou's thoughts.

"Okay, now that Perna is safe for the time being, let's talk about our business."

Hu Zitou rubbed his brows, relaxed his shoulders, and lost the gentleness on his face, with a serious face.

"You want me to join your team? Sure. Perna is already in your hands, I have no reason to refuse. But you must do your best to protect Perna, otherwise, I will definitely risk my life to find you."

Chu Cheng didn't care about Hu Zitou's threat. Even if Hu Zitou didn't say it, he would definitely protect Perna. Perna's appearance was not accidental, not to mention that Perna was also connected with Carl and others, there was no reason for him not to protect her.

However, he was so anxious to bring in the bearded man because the Chamber of Commerce meeting was about to begin. As a new force, he needed someone who could hold his own and help him shorten the progress bar of mastering the gray area.

"Rally?... Although I have never participated in one, I can go, and I can recommend someone to you.

" "Who?"

"Scott, the owner of the parchment shop, a person with a certain status in the whole of Bellit, will definitely be of help to you."

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Hey, brother Oliver, why did you think of coming to me? Why, do you want to go hunting monsters with me again?"

Chu Cheng, with a large scarf covering the lower half of his face, looked coldly at the bearded man in front of him, who patted his chest and promised to help him. The man in front of him had black curly hair, a pale face, red eyes, and the whole outfit was similar to the golden hat, but the man in front of him was not a vampire.

The information shown to him by the system clearly stated that the man in front of him was not... not a human creature, but a real devil. No wonder his store was called the parchment shop. After all, in the real world, devils always use parchments to trick ignorant humans into signing a lifetime kidnapping contract. As a comic, it is natural to absorb some certain settings.

Since Scott is a devil, his age is naturally not as young as he looks, but his familiarity with Oliver is not fake. Chu Cheng can feel that Scott and Oliver are not hypocritical courtesies, but real old friends. Naturally, Scott did not neglect Chu Cheng who was brought by Oliver.

Before Oliver introduced Chu Cheng's identity, Scott had already asked the people beside him to bring tea and cakes, without any sign of scrutiny. After Oliver sat down, he did not beat around the bush and stated his purpose directly.

"Scott, I know you have been away from Bellit's inner world for a long time, but now I hope you can come out again. As an ally of the lord next to me."

Hearing this, Scott, who had always had a smile on his face, drooped a little, but still did not show any displeasure. He just put down the teacup in his hand, lifted his right leg and put it on his left leg, and politely asked about the reason.

"This gentleman... you can call him the Fool for now. The Fool is the new boss of the Sobee Sea Auction House and Casino. The Chamber of Commerce will hold a meeting in a few days, and he needs your and my help."

Scott was silent for a while, sighed, and raised his forehead helplessly.

"Oliver, we don't need to say polite words for our relationship, so I'll tell you straight. You know, I've been away from the Gray Zone for a long time, and I haven't interfered in their affairs for a long time. Naturally, I don't want to go back. I can do my best to help you with other things, but I really can't do this."

Chu Cheng also heard Oliver briefly talk about Scott's leaving the Gray Zone on the way here. In his early years, Scott was in the red light business and built the largest red light district in Bellit, which became the pillar industry of Bellit. The daily turnover at its peak was equivalent to 4% of Bellit's revenue, which was terrifying. Even now, the lingering influence of Scott on the red light district is immeasurable.

However, Scott encountered a murder that no one knew about. It was Oliver who helped him transform his genes and added the phoenix gene, so that he could be reborn, but he also lost a powerful ability as a demon. In exchange. To put it bluntly, Oliver saved Scott's life.

This was an unconscious and fatal blow to Scott, which was very dangerous, so Scott decisively cut off the gray area business, ran away with a large amount of wealth, and started a parchment roll store business.

However, the connections he had made over the years allowed him to run this store that sold everything very well, and the daily turnover was still considerable. No one knew that the famous red light devil had actually lost his devil power, and they just thought he wanted to change his life.

But if Scott followed Chu Cheng to participate in the Chamber of Commerce meeting, it was hard to guarantee that no one would use magic or supernatural powers to see that Scott had lost his devil power, and his situation would suddenly become very dangerous. In such an unreasonable place, not being able to protect yourself is the original sin, so taking Scott to the meeting is tantamount to pushing him into the fire pit.

But Oliver had to do this. He alone was not enough to lead Chu Cheng to occupy the gray area. He had to have someone stronger to take over, and Steck was the best choice. Only by saving Chu Cheng could he save Perna.

"Scott, I know this is no different from betrayal in your eyes, but I want to use that promise, and I hope you can come to help the Fool."
