Chapter 1637 - 1230: Exposed

"What’s going on?" Long Yi exclaimed in astonishment. Then he discovered that his whole body wasn’t responding to him! And the cause of all this was, shockingly, the consciousness of the Apostle that had been copied into his body!

"There’s nothing much," said the remaining High-level Apostle. "My goal has been achieved, naturally, I cannot let you continue."

"Your goal? You planned all this? They were all arranged by you?" Long Yi’s face was filled with disbelief.

"Ha ha ha ha! Who would have thought, Long Yi, that you would be played by me! Yes, everything was arranged by me! I knew you would definitely want to end this battle, so you would surely try your best to stop me. And conveniently, I also planned to eliminate you early, so that I could bring my army to that Plane ahead of schedule. Oh, you know, this brainless device is very complex, using Giant technology. However, it turns out that Divine Power can’t be used to activate it; it requires the power of the Giants, thus I had to find a way. Tsk tsk tsk, who would have thought you’d be so naive, I had originally planned to emphasize authenticity through a contract, but to my surprise, you didn’t even sign a contract. It’s actually better this way, saves me the hassle. Now, the consciousness planted in your mind is gradually merging with you, and soon you will become my servant!"

That Worm Apostle burst into crazy laughter, not only him but all the surrounding Worm Apostles also joined in the laughter, especially the few Worm Apostles who had previously shown great humility.

"In that case, I just need to kill you before it completely takes control of me!" Long Yi roared and charged at the High-level Worm Apostle again.

"Eh? You’ve broken free from the influence? Tsk, tsk, in such a state, I’m certainly no match for you, and it seems that it will take at least ten minutes for you to be under my control. How about using this time to..."

As he spoke, the High-level Worm Apostle suddenly raised a hand, and every Worm Apostle present suddenly felt the consciousness of the Apostle leaving them!

"Return to the original body! My power! Foolish Giant, I’ll let you witness my real strength!"

The High-level Apostle actually absorbed all the consciousness and energy of the Worm Apostles!

The Worm Apostles who were just laughing wildly now collapsed all over the ground; they had completely turned into ordinary The Forgotten Ones, without even a trace of the Worm.

Boom!

Two fists brimming with Divine Power collided, and Long Yi was completely defeated in this clash! His armor shattered, and with it, one of his arms exploded.

"Bastard!"

Long Yi howled in rage, and with his other fist, he struck out, but that fist also exploded.

"Die! Die for me!" Long Yi continued to roar fiercely, but besides increasing the severity of his injuries, he could no longer do anything having lost both arms.

"Ah, how tragic, how pitiful. Let me tell you, in fact, there was only one main consciousness in this projection of mine, and I only split into so many Worm Apostles to manage them easily. All your actions have been within my plans, and now you have become my prisoner, so you’d better properly provide me with the power of the Giants, or else, I will have a thousand ways to torment you."

Long Yi, who had lost both his arms, looked at the remaining Worm Apostle, thought for a moment, then suddenly cracked a grin.

"Well spoken, but I choose to ’screw this’!"

Plop.

Long Yi fell to the ground, dead.

The Worm Apostle was still laughing, but it quickly realized that the Long Yi on the ground had really died! It immediately panicked: "How can this be! Aren’t you a Giant! How can you just die like this! Who will operate this device for me if you’re dead!"

"Ha ha ha ha ha! Ah ha ha ha! This is really too much fun!" While the Worm Apostle was amidst its astonishment, Long Yi who had been playing dead all this time, took off his helmet, sat up, and laughed uncontrollably.

"Long Yi? You? This!" The High-level Apostle took one look at the sitting Long Yi, then at the body on the ground, and immediately realized that the real fool was none other than itself!

"You really are a fun one, acting out such a tiresome self-directed play. My created Avatar just can’t seem to mesh with your act," Long Yi stood up and said.

"Heh heh heh, so that’s how it is. You’ve always been lurking here, and after noticing my plan, you created an Avatar to pretend to respond to me. So why are you stepping out now? Do you think now that it’s just you and me, you will be able to stand against me?" The Worm Apostle roared.

"If you weren’t continuously retreating while saying this, I might find it a bit more persuasive. After all, with your current scaredy-cat look, it does seem like you’re going to lose," Long Yi said.

"Lose? Impossible! I am the projection of the Worm God from the center of the Divine Realm! I possess the power of the Worm God! Here, you must obey me!"

Boom! A mental control Beam wrapped in Divine Power blasted directly at Long Yi, which was unavoidable and had to be met head-on. Long Yi directly drew forth Divine Power and clashed fiercely, a great consumption of energy on both sides, but the Beam of mental power dispersed as well.

"No matter what ability you have, in the end, it still has to be achieved through Divine Power. So if you plan on defeating me, you’d better try a little harder," Long Yi said with a smile.
