Chapter 135: They’re just too stupid….

Wherever the fire passed, hellish roars seemed to sweep across the entire world.

A faint flame enveloped the human body. The surrounding contaminants, under the pressure of the powerful contamination radiation, subconsciously gave him a wide berth. Occasionally, something that didn’t know its place would approach, but before it could get close, the moment it touched the outer layer of flames, it was completely devoured.

The tall figure strolled leisurely through the shocking environment. At this moment, rather than calling Him “Lin Xi,” it was more appropriate to use another name—”Calamity.”

He lowered his eyelids, looking with some fondness at his long, slender fingers. With just a slight curl, and the sound of flesh and bone growing, an endless stream of contaminants fell in agony.

Their twisted bodies struggled in their death throes, pierced by bones that spread from within them like thorny brambles, as if a thorny plant had pierced through their entire shells.

“So good… It’s been so long since I’ve felt such power.”

A trace of greed gradually appeared in His blood-red vertical pupils. As excitement surged, just as He was about to do something else, a lazy voice sounded from his mind: “Don’t forget the purpose of letting you out.”

Calamity: “…”

The excitement that had just emerged was as if completely extinguished by a basin of cold water.

After a long while, He replied listlessly, “Got it. We’re here.”

As they went deeper, the excessively dense contamination radiation had almost blurred the field of vision.

The radiation from different contaminants stacked together, as if countless forces were invisibly squeezing and clamoring against each other.

Calamity did not continue forward but stopped where he was. He could still feel the gazes spying on him from the dark.

They fell densely upon Him, an astonishing number.

Finally, an uncertain voice sounded, as old as a constantly grating saw: “I knew it. How could a human come here so easily? I didn’t expect it to be you, Calamity.”

As these words fell, more things stirred in the dark, filled with disbelief at this discovery.

Whispered conversations came from the empty surroundings, as if right by his ear.

[What? Calamity! How is that possible? Didn’t He already…]

[Hee hee hee, look at His current appearance. Anyone who didn’t know would think He’s a human.]

[He’s back. Does that mean we have a king again?]

[What king? To be made so miserable by a human and still have the face to come back.]

[We contaminants have always crowned the strong as king. Even if He really has returned, with His current strength… hehe, it’s probably not enough.]

[Can’t say that. It’s good that He’s back. At least it’s some help for us.]

[Indeed, our time is running out.]

Voices from near and far kept falling into his ears. Calamity’s gaze remained fixed on the front, and he spoke as if he hadn’t heard a thing, “So the king now is indeed you, Wuyu. It’s been hard on you, taking over this position for so long. Now that I’m back, it’s about time you returned this position.”

“Return it?” The contaminant in the depths seemed to have heard the funniest joke in the world. “Because of your incompetence, we have already wasted too much time. Now you return here wearing this human body and still delude yourself into thinking you can continue to be king?”

“Strictly speaking, it’s not that I want to be.” Calamity subconsciously glanced at his current body and fell silent for a moment. “But that’s not important.”

He slowly raised his eyes to look at the dense fog in the distance, the corners of his mouth splitting into a half-smile. “In any case, I came here today to take back this position. As for whether I have the qualifications—that fellow Abyss should be here, right? Could it be that He didn’t say a single word to you all about how He scurried away from under my nose back then?”

As these words fell, the surrounding voices fell silent at once, plunging into a long, dead quiet.

“…”

A long time later, Wuyu finally spoke again. “The ability you just used belongs to a human. That Executor named Lin Xi should still be in your body, right? Do you think we would entrust the future to a traitor who colludes with humans?”

Calamity was not angered. Instead, he seemed to have heard the funniest joke.

He could clearly hear a meaningful sneer in his mind. He cleared his throat, and when he spoke again, his voice held a bit more sincerity. “He is indeed still here, and because of that, cooperation is your best choice right now. Believe me, Wuyu, at least it’s me standing here now. We can still find some common ground. If it were really him negotiating, what would happen is truly uncertain.”

Wuyu: “As expected of someone who has stayed in the human world for too long. Calamity, you have now truly become a useless coward who fears death.”

Calamity heard another light laugh in his mind. Compared to before, it clearly had a hint of impatience. “.”

He rubbed his hair helplessly and let out a low sigh.

The next second, under the impulse of a certain will, His body slowly opened its mouth. The lazy, slow tone was clearly Lin Xi’s. “Oh my, it seems you, the King of Contaminants, have no deterrent power at all.”

Calamity: “…”

“I originally thought we could use a more peaceful method. Now it seems this idea is not progressing smoothly.”

Calamity let out a low “tsk.” “They’re just too stupid. They haven’t realized the severity of the situation.”

“It’s fine. Just make them understand what the best choice is.”

“Come on, continue. Let’s go sit on that throne together, or—completely destroy this place.”

“My time is not that plentiful.”

Calamity: “…Oh.”

Sentence after sentence, spoken from the same mouth, seemed like murmuring to oneself, yet also like an extremely peaceful exchange.

This conversation made the old voice from the distance sound even more mocking when it rang out. “You are still talking to that human. Calamity, you are a disgrace to the contaminant world.”

When Calamity spoke again, his utterly inhuman pupils held a hint of speechless contempt for an idiot. “I advise you to shut up first… Angering him will do no one any good.”

He looked speechlessly at the sky, which was almost completely obscured from view, and sighed deeply. “Forget it. Let’s use the most direct method in the contaminant world. Wuyu, I came here today to take back this throne. As for the rest—if anyone feels I am not qualified, they are more than welcome to stand up, just like back then.”

The words fell clearly around them. In an instant, the monsters hidden in the dark were thoroughly enraged and began to stir uncontrollably.

“How about it? Need me to lend a hand?”

As the light laughter fell by his ear, the curve of Calamity’s lips had already flown up in excitement. “No hurry. I don’t even remember how long it’s been since I’ve been active. Let me enjoy this properly first.”

Lin Xi graciously granted this request. “You may. Go on.”
