Chapter 1372 - 1117: The Plan Is Moved Up

The scene immediately fell into silence, and Long Yi’s breathing became heavy as he rapidly pondered how to handle the situation.

"What is the strength of these dragons?" Ai Lin asked.

"It’s hard to estimate, but they are much more powerful than when we were on the Lower Plane," Silverlight said.

"Show me the data on the Azure Sky Empire’s battleships," Long Yi suddenly said to Ruosha.

"Do you plan to have the Azure Sky Empire’s battleships engage in battle?" Ruosha asked while handing over the data crystal to Long Yi.

"No, they are outsiders after all, but I think it won’t be long before Turun’s automated golem technology comes into play," Long Yi said.

"Turun? The Turun of the Golden Battleship? Isn’t he still out there enjoying himself?" Isrile said.

"No, he’s about to die," Long Yi said.

Originally, Long Yi’s plan was to use Turun’s Golden Battleship to attract more Divine Worms in order to annihilate them in one fell swoop. However, it seemed it was too late for that now, so Long Yi immediately issued commands through Little Zi to Ika to implement the annihilation plan at once!

Having received the order, Ika immediately went to find Turun.

"Turun, I think we can’t wait any longer," Ika said.

"Why?" Turun was puzzled, as Ika had indicated there was no rush just yesterday. Why the sudden change of plan today?

"Because I underestimated Long Yi. He is attempting to break the hint I left for him," Ika showed Turun a spell, which of course was a fake one. However, Turun perceived from this spell that Long Yi was making efforts to unravel Ika’s hint, meaning that if they didn’t act immediately, once Long Yi broke the hint, all their efforts would be wasted.

After flickering his eyes for a moment, Turun said, "Not long ago, I seemed to have felt some fluctuations from our kind, and that fluctuation was very powerful. You must have felt it too. I suppose this has nothing to do with you making such a hasty decision?"

Ika chuckled and said, "You’re very clever, Turun. Of course, I also sensed that fluctuation. According to my guess, that was not from a group of our kind but rather seemed more like a single powerful entity of our kind. If that’s true, then tell me, Turun, should we not start taking action right away?"

Turun gave a dry laugh and nodded. In fact, as soon as he felt the strong fluctuation from the mighty Divine Worm, he became nervous. Divine Worms inherently inscribed the act of devouring each other, which they not only enjoyed but were also highly proficient at. There shouldn’t be a large number of Divine Worms in this Plane anymore, so that powerful fluctuation had to be from a single Divine Worm. It could be from the Lower Plane or the Upper Plane, but regardless of where it came from, it certainly was not here for a peaceful coexistence. Hence, even though Turun saw through Ika’s little trick, he also agreed that they should not wait any longer.

Inside the Golden Battleship, all the Divine Worms had assembled. With a very solemn tone, Turun informed everyone of the situation. As fellow Divine Worms, everyone here had already sensed the strong fluctuation from their kind that had appeared not long ago. So, they all agreed to implement the plan immediately. Once they took over Long Yi’s body, as a true God of Trinity, the power he could wield would be unprecedented. Most importantly, Long Yi himself was a Giant, whose knowledge was enough to contend with anyone.

"Since you all agree, then I think you should now start expressing your support with actions," Turun said with a smile.

"Action? But we don’t really have any resources," one of the Divine Worms said.

"No, actually, we do not need your resources," Ika approached the person and whispered.

"You want to... No!" That Divine Worm immediately understood the intent of Ika and Turun.

As red light flickered, Ika and Turun began a frenzied devouring. Despite the number of Divine Worms around, none could withstand this form of devouring against the two of them working together. Soon, every parasitized host in the room lost consciousness, collapsed to the ground, and their minds were left completely blank, for the dominating Divine Worms had all been devoured by Ika and Turun.

"In our plan, there’s no need for more people to share the joy of victory," Ika said with a smile.

"Indeed, no need for more people to share," Turun looked at Ika, his eyes filled with mirth.

By that time, Turun and Ika had collected nearly three thousand Eternal bodies, which was close to the total number of Eternal bodies in this Plane. To ensure success this time, they decided to risk everything.

On an asteroid, Ika was assigning tasks to Turun.

"I will use myself as bait to personally attract Long Yi here. Due to the hint I left him, he will definitely chase after me. Once he gets close, you immediately activate the Array, and open all the Eternal bodies. The Worms without hosts will desperately attack Long Yi, and he will have to fight back with the God Eater. The moment he devours all the Divine Worms, I will unleash all my power to launch a Mental Impact on him, and he will immediately fall into a daze. At that moment, I will take over his consciousness while he can’t even struggle; you just need to quietly wait for me to complete my control over him, and then everything will be over. Do you remember?" Ika said to Turun.

Turun nodded and said, "Yes, I’ve memorized it all."

Ika smiled contentedly, then patted Turun’s shoulder and said, "Don’t worry, once I ascend to godhood, you will be my most capable lieutenant, I won’t let you down."

However, Turun just smiled without replying.

After Ika left, Turun watched his retreating figure, and the smile on his face turned into disdain and contempt.

"Who do you think you are! You actually want me to be your lieutenant? Hahaha! Idiot, just go ahead. But you will never know who the real winner is until the very last moment."

The golden battleship was hidden nearby; Ika had been gone for a while, making Turun’s heart grow increasingly tense. He did not know whether Ika had succeeded or failed. If it was success, why had he not appeared yet? But if it was failure, what should he do?

At this moment, there were no other Divine Worms around, and Turun had no one to discuss the situation with.

However, at that moment, a faint spatial fluctuation came from the distant sky, followed immediately by Ika’s psychic signal.

"Get ready! He’s right behind us!"

By then, Ika was nearly drenched in blood, frantically fleeing for his life. Through the psychic link, Turun got a brief account of the events. Ika had just left, planning to head straight for the Azure Sky Empire, but whether his luck was exceptionally good or bad, he had just finished teleporting when he came face-to-face with Long Yi!

On seeing Ika, even Long Yi was taken aback for a moment, as neither side expected such a coincidence. However, Ika reacted faster, casting a Mental Impact that triggered the Divine Worm’s prompt inside Long Yi’s psyche, which caused a moment of stupor in Long Yi while Ika seized the opportunity to escape frantically. Such an unexpected encounter and a face full of Mental Impact would be intolerable to anyone, let alone Long Yi!

Once he snapped back to reality, Long Yi immediately began the chase, and every time he was about to catch up and unleash the God Eater, Ika would cast Mental Impact. After several such interruptions, Long Yi finally erupted in fury, his whole body aflame with such intensity that, even in the vacuum of space, one could sense the roaring energy radiating from him.

Just when the chase seemed to be dragging on long enough, Ika immediately tore through space, teleporting into the trap he had prepared in advance.

Turun couldn’t help but lament Ika’s misfortune, while he was even more amazed at Long Yi’s strength, which one could perceive through Ika’s psyche—the sheer force of those powerful energy fluctuations.

But at the next moment, space was brutally torn open, and a figure enshrouded in golden flames burst forth, his wrath burning to its limit!

It was Long Yi!

To sense it through psychic impressions was one thing, but to experience it firsthand was another. Turun thought he was mentally prepared, yet when he beheld the formidable power of Long Yi, his heart still skipped a beat. He had already overestimated Long Yi’s strength, but in the presence of Long Yi, he found himself shockingly overwhelmed and terrified by the horrific energy.

However, beyond fear and trepidation, as a Divine Worm, his instinct couldn’t help but covet such power.

As he watched Ika desperately fleeing, a cold sneer trembled at the corner of his mouth.

After several desperate escapes and almost being caught again, Ika headed straight for the asteroid, signaling Turun, who immediately activated the Array. At the same time, Ika also cast Mental Impact. Instantaneously, Long Yi fell into stupor, getting trapped within the Array. Almost at the same time, the Divine Worms that had just been freed surged out from underground!

And indeed, as Ika had anticipated, the Worms pounced on Long Yi without hesitation.

Boom!

The innate surge of the God Eater emerged, shielding Long Yi and annihilating all the Worms converging on him. Meanwhile, outside the Array, the wounds and bloodstains on Ika’s body began to fade under the influence of Divine Power.

Turun glanced at Ika but remained silent, both of them harboring their own plans.

Within the Array, Long Yi cursed and roared—thousands of Worms could never get close. The God Eater kept devouring, kept growing, and Long Yi’s eyes began to emit a red glow slowly!

Ika had said that was the sign of the prompt taking effect! (To be continued. If you like this work, please visit Qidian (qidian.com) to cast your recommendation and monthly tickets. Your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users, please visit m.qidian.com to read.)
