Where did Kieran go?
Soon, Hayden Ow saw Kieran's figure appearing and disappearing in the tide of Corpse Puppets. Each time Kieran appeared, a couple of Corpse Puppets would be sliced in half, immobilizing them completely.
Kieran was strolling leisurely among the Corpse Puppets.
Afterimages appeared around Kieran one after another, making it hard for one to tell where the real Kieran was.
Hayden Ow's eyes were glued to Kieran's hands. When he saw Kieran cut the Corpse Puppets like they were paper, Hayden Ow couldn't help but gasp coldly.
Hayden Ow knew how much power was required to cut a human body.
Even with a sharp weapon in hand, it would be a difficult feat for a commoner without any training, let alone a Corpse Puppet.
Resurrected from the dead, Corpse Puppets were no longer common.
Other than their heads, their bodies were sturdier.
The members of the Funeral Society were well-trained and if they had a sharp weapon, it would be easy for them to cut off the Corpse Puppet's head. However, it was impossible for them to cut off the Corpse Puppet's entire body.
Hayden Ow couldn't do it either.
Let alone being able to do it as easily as Kieran.
"So this is the power of a God?"
Hayden Ow muttered to himself before shaking his head hard.
What a joke! How could such strength belong to the Gods that he knew of?
The enemy before him was too weak!
Weak to the point that it didn't even qualify for Kieran to display his true strength.
Hayden Ow exclaimed in his heart.
But soon, the exclamation was replaced by joy.
So what if the enemy was weak?
Who didn't like a weak enemy?
In this world, there was nothing more delightful than a weak enemy.
And …
"Forest City will be safe and sound!"
Hayden Ow took a deep breath and drew his dagger.
He was about to welcome victory, and he didn't want to win by staying in one place and not moving at all.
With the addition of Kieran and the reinforcements, even though there were many corpse puppets in Canmore Cemetery, they could not put up any resistance. Especially when two of the reinforcements lit the candles used by Hayden Ow, it was only a matter of time before the corpse puppets were destroyed.
When Kieran plunged his palm into the Ghoul's skull, the time had been brought forward.
"Your Holiness."
Hayden Ow quickly walked behind Kieran who was sizing up the ghoul. The leader of the reinforcements also followed.
"Very strange."
Kieran said faintly.
"Are you talking about this ghoul?"
"It is indeed very strange!"
"Although it's very strong, it can't move. Moreover, the number of corpse puppets it can control is beyond common sense … It should be some kind of mutation?"
"Or changes we don't know about."
Hayden Ow replied.
"Change?"
Kieran turned his head away.
"Yes, changes.
There are some things we can't do but for a God like Your Holiness … "
Hayden Ow didn't finish his words but his meaning was obvious.
In this world where demons lurked in the shadows, the things that normal people thought were impossible were really just 'what you thought'.
As for the truth?
It was always something you didn't think of.
"Your Holiness!
I have urgent news to report to you! "
The Funeral Society member who came with Hayden Ow suddenly spoke.
"What happened to Fergus?"
Hayden Ow looked at his assistant with a heavy expression.
The branch leader knew what kind of person his assistant was. Fergus was quiet, loyal, and reliable.
If it wasn't something urgent, he wouldn't even speak in such a situation.
"We found a lot of unknown people in Forest City.
Every one of them is armed and gathering quickly, and … "
Fergus paused for a moment.
"And what?"
Hayden Ow asked out of instinct.
However, the moment the words escaped his mouth, he noticed something was wrong.
His loyal and reliable assistant was overflowing with killer intents from head to toe.
"Little …"
Souuu!
Before the reminder could escape his mouth, an arrow was fired at Kieran.
The speed of this crossbow bolt was too fast!
It was so fast that Kieran didn't even have the time to react before the arrow plunged into his chest.
"Hahahahaha!
We did it!
The famous Bird of Death is nothing more than this! "
Overjoyed, frenzied laughter came from Fergus' mouth.
"Fergus, do you know what you are doing?"
Hayden Ow raised the gun in his hand and pointed it at his assistant.
"I know!
Of course I know!
Slaying a God!
Just like what Perforation Sting's leader, 2567 the Bird of Death, did. If they can do it, so can I.
As long as … "
"A meticulous plan!"
Fergus didn't care about the gun pointing at him and uttered each and every word.
"When the God of Forest City was killed, that idiot Neil came to me, wanting to use my power to split the treasure vault of the God of Forest City.
Of course, I didn't agree to it.
Because the risk was too great, to the point that I didn't dare to touch it.
But who knew that bastard had two more aces up his sleeves.
One of them was this!
"The Crossbow Bolt Forsaken by the Gods. It's a precious artifact that doesn't exist, but Neil has it!"
That bastard was really a coward!
He had such an item but he didn't know how to use it, he only used it as a bargaining chip to trade for those useless things.
But I am different!
"I know exactly how to use this thing!"
As he spoke, Fergus waved the small and exquisite crossbow in his hand.
"That's why you want to assassinate His Majesty?!"
Hayden Ow's breath became more hurried.
He was sizing up his assistant who should have known his attributes but looked extremely unfamiliar. He didn't expect his assistant to hide so deeply.
Or rather …
He never really got to know his assistant.
His eyes were like a jackal's, it wasn't a human's.
"Half-fiend?"
Hayden Ow took a deep breath.
Pak!
A slap landed on Hayden Ow's face as fast as lightning.
"Please address me as His Majesty!
Just like how you treat any other Majesty — aren't you all like this?
Wagging your tail and begging the Gods.
Pretending to be merciful in front of the weak fiends.
But what's the essence?
Isn't it still bullying them?
What's the difference between you and the God of Forest City that was killed?
There is no difference!
It's the same!
"So, why can't I become your god?"
But … "
"Before that, I will take back the interest bit by bit from you all."
Fergus looked down at Hayden Ow who fell on the ground, his tone getting colder and more ferocious.
"I thought you forgot."
Hayden Ow's face was half buried in the dirt, his words muffled.
"Forgot?
If you bear all that, will you forget?
Do you really think you can save the world with a few words and some food?
How childish are you, Hayden Ow? "
A mocking smile appeared on Fergus' youthful face.
Hayden Ow shut his mouth and didn't reply.
"Are you speechless now?"
Fergus continued to press.
This time, Hayden Ow even closed his eyes.
"Close your eyes and wait for death?
Fine, I'll fulfill your wish!
"You want me to use my 'divine power' to erase your … 'divine power'?"
