Chapter 981 - 742

"Your so-called friend so casually puts you in harm’s way, I want to know, when he benefits from something, does he ever think of you then?" Long Yi asked.

"That was my choice not to want it!" Felpe said.

"So, you deciding to come to me with troubles this time was a request made by you?" Long Yi laughed.

Felpe fell silent, not out of fear of Long Yi. He feared no one at all, it was just that this time, he had explicitly told Delas that he did not want to be hostile towards Long Yi. However, Delas continued to drag Felpe into the mix, promising that if they killed Long Yi, half of the gains from Long Yi would be shared with Felpe, but Felpe genuinely wasn’t interested.

"Kill me, and you’ll never get any information about Delas from me," Felpe said, glaring.

"If I wanted to know about Delas, I’d have Little Zi read it directly from your soul. I really wouldn’t need to go to so much trouble, would I?" Long Yi said.

"Then what do you want to do?" Felpe asked, frowning.

"Actually, I just want to make a bet with you," Long Yi said.

"A bet? What bet?"

"I bet that Delas has never considered you a friend at all," Long Yi said.

"Impossible! We are the best of friends! I’ve saved his life! Twice!" Felpe said.

"So, if you needed him to save your life, would he come to your rescue without hesitation?"

"Of course!"

"Well, that’s the bet we’re having," Long Yi said.

Several days had passed since Long Yi announced his intention to attack Delas, and the entire Plane waited quietly for news. Because the next piece of news that would come was likely to be either Long Yi’s death or Delas’ fall.

But soon, a new piece of news spread through the entire Plane by various magic.

Long Yi and Ai Lin didn’t go after Delas! Instead, they found Felpe, who was also an Ancient Powerhouse, and successfully took him under control! At the same time, Long Yi declared that if Delas did not arrive alone on the designated planet within three days, Long Yi would kill Felpe!

This news made everyone ashamed; the always headstrong Long Yi was using threats to challenge Delas! It seemed Long Yi still had reservations about these Ancient Powerhouses.

Therefore, everyone turned their attention to the news from Delas. Delas and Felpe were close friends; would Delas risk coming alone for Felpe?

Nearly everyone was discussing this matter.

In some mysterious psychic meeting room, this matter was also under discussion. Some argued that Delas should go, while others said he shouldn’t. Overall, the majority disagreed with Delas going. After all, if Long Yi wanted Delas to come, then there must certainly be a trap set for him. Once Delas fell into the trap, his chances were slim.

"Go, why not go?" Nielan spoke up.

"Are you crazy?" someone shouted.

"I’m not crazy, Delas should go, and we should go together! Not just us, all of our disciples must go too! Surround that planet tightly and kill Long Yi and Ai Lin there and then!" Nielan said.

"But, our gear..." someone said with concern.

"Don’t worry, with so many of us together, are we still afraid of those two?" Nielan said.

"Fine! Let’s go together!" Delas finally spoke up.

Actually, he really didn’t want to go. He would have much preferred Long Yi to come to him so that all his traps could be put to use. Now that all these people were going together, if Long Yi was killed or captured, his secrets would surely be divided among them.

But there was no other choice now.

On a certain planet, Felpe confidently told Long Yi, "He will definitely come back, he will appear right away! I would go to save him this way, and he will come to save me the same way!"

Long Yi just smiled, "I don’t believe it."

The first day passed, and no one appeared, but Felpe remained confident, "He’s just thinking of a plan to rescue me, that’s all."

The second day went by, still nobody appeared, and Felpe started to waver, but he still insisted that Delas would definitely come.

The entire third day had passed, and Delas still didn’t show, desperation finally showed on Felpe’s face. Yet he still said, "No one would not care about their life, I don’t blame him."

Eventually, night fell, and a spaceship finally descended from the sky!

Felpe’s eyes immediately filled with light!

Delas jumped out of the spaceship, looking towards the only stone platform here. Felpe was sitting in the center, with Long Yi, Ai Lin, and Little Zi standing behind him. Felpe was about to roar, "Don’t mind me! This is a trap! You get out of here fast!"

But he saw several more people jumping out of that spaceship one after another.

And those people were all Ancient Powerhouses!

At that moment, countless figures descended from the sky around them, they were all disciples of the Ancient Powerhouses.

"This seems to be different from our agreement," Long Yi said, laying his hand on Felpe’s head.

However, Delas laughed, "Yes, of course, it’s different." Then he looked at Felpe, "My old friend, just die in peace, we will surely avenge you!"

Upon hearing these words, all the blood drained from Felpe’s face.

"So you never planned to save me from the start, did you?" Felpe said in a low voice.

"There was no choice, after all, sacrificing you allows us to get rid of two major threats, Long Yi and Ai Lin. I think you should feel honored!" Delas said.

"Honored? Delas! I’ve saved your life before! Twice! I got seriously injured while saving you which led to my strength never being able to improve! And even so, I’ve never resented you! Yet you actually let me die for the sake of killing Long Yi?"

Felpe roared.

"Enough! Do you have to remind everyone that you saved me twice? Today, we are here to kill Long Yi! No one can stop us! Not even you! And I’ve never considered you a friend! I was just using you! Now that you’re no longer of any use, go die with Long Yi!"

As he spoke, Delas incredibly took out a device from his personal space, injected mana into it, and threw it directly at Long Yi!

However, the device passed through both Felpe and Long Yi and landed on the ground.

"Magic projection!"

Delas was shocked.

"See, what did I tell you? You took them as friends, while they only used you. Now you believe it, right?" Long Yi said with a smile, waving his hands and making four people disappear at once.

Delas’s face turned ashen.

In the heat of the moment, he revealed his true feelings. He even took action himself in order to have a greater say when dividing Long Yi’s secrets in the future, as falling out with a ’friend’ could increase his own influence. But unexpectedly, it was a trap set by Long Yi!

"This is a magic projection! They must still be nearby!" Delas roared.

But at that moment, a wave of spatial transmission emerged from beneath their feet.

"Too late," Lou Aran said from behind.

They weren’t just nearby; they were right under everyone’s feet!

"Bastard!" Delas was about to explode with rage. He never thought there would come a day when he’d be played like this! He got neither Long Yi nor kept an ’easy-to-use friend.’

And his reputation would certainly spread far and wide.

Meanwhile, on another planet, Felpe was engulfed in blazing flames, furiously bombarding everything around him. And far away, Long Yi, Ai Lin, and Little Zi watched.

"Aren’t we going a bit too far?" Ai Lin whispered.

"If it wasn’t for that guy’s reminder, Felpe would’ve already been dead. Now we didn’t kill him, but instead told him his so-called friend was nothing but scum. What’s so excessive about that?" Long Yi said.

"It feels even worse than just killing him," Little Zi said.

"Don’t worry, he’s not a woman; he’ll be over it in a bit," Long Yi said.

Ai Lin and Little Zi then each raised their little fists and hammered Long Yi hard.

After a while, Felpe finally came to his senses. He approached Long Yi with a remorseful expression, "You may not believe it, and I’m not trying to weasel out, but at the start, I really didn’t intend to join in. I was dragged into this mess by that bastard. Now it seems I was used."

Long Yi looked at Felpe and grinned, "So do you want to be used again?"

Felpe was baffled, "What do you mean?"

"What I mean is, after being played for so long, don’t you want revenge?"

"I do! But with my power..."

"If you want revenge, that’s enough. Leave the rest to me," Long Yi said, beaming with a smile.

Long Yi had never really thoroughly researched the humanoid creatures of this world. And this time, he took the opportunity to study them carefully.

Firstly, the ’humans’ of this plane could indeed be called ’humans,’ but compared to the ’Humans’ created by the Giants, they were longer-lived and could wield this mighty power. Their mitochondria could generate energy, and companion bodies could convert that energy into mana—and only into mana. The singular conversion made it more efficient, though it seemed somewhat rigid and lacking in flexibility.

Once upon a time, Felpe was badly injured in the head while saving Delas. It was precisely because of this injury that his magical talent stalled. Although Delas always spoke of repaying Felpe, in reality, he did nothing but pay lip service.

Now, Long Yi decided to help Felpe get to the root of the problem.

After Little Zi put Felpe unconscious, Long Yi decisively used the methods of the Giants. With both the Giant Tablet and the Giant Scepter in play, he quickly confirmed that Felpe’s head injury indeed left brain damage. Normally, brain injuries are very difficult to recover from. But Long Yi was no ordinary person, remember his power of stone? This mysterious force could even restore a person to life from being Bone Crushing, as long as their body was still touching the ground. And what Long Yi did now was inject a bit of Fire Rock into Felpe.

Felpe, who specialized in fire magic, had mana in his body that carried the fire attribute. As soon as the Fire Rock entered his body, it settled down immediately. And with the power of stone, Felpe’s brain damage began to heal rapidly, returning to its original state in a short period! (To be continued.
