Chapter 10: Doomed Squad (Part 3)
Li Aozi gently rubbed his forehead.
Did this guy reveal his own negative information because he really trusted him? Or was it a test?
—Leoz once said that the Chief God of [Raiding], Severston, was the weakest among the Chief Gods. Gio Zieou and Leoz were primarily supporting this guy.
"I have no choice."
The two deliberately walked apart, with Li Aozi at the front of the team and Severston at the back, seemingly on guard against the surroundings, but actually communicating quickly through typing.
"My history, my past has been usurped—I can't even know the name of the guy who took everything from me."
Gio Zieou trusts Leoz quite a lot, Li Aozi knew, even though he had cut him once, tricked him once, and was continuously exploiting labor for free, Li Aozi figured that when Gio Zieou met again, he wouldn't dislike Leoz too much.
After all, they were friends through life and death.
Looking at it this way, Severston probably wouldn't have a bad relationship with Leoz.
But out of caution against the Starry Abyss Side, Li Aozi still remained vigilant.
"You say everything of yours was usurped—why not just directly confront the current [Soul of Plunder] and ask clearly? The Lai Anding Immortal Spirit should be able to do it."
Li Aozi deliberately did not mention Redd Gold.
Even though at this stage, he was well aware of what had happened in the War Beyond the Abyss five thousand years ago, the name was still too unfamiliar to players.
"I can't do it."
Severston said coldly:
"What that guy took was all my past—it means that even if I now hear the current Chief God's name, what I hear is 'Severston', not the current Chief God's name—you could try telling me that guy's name, no matter what I hear, it becomes Severston when it reaches me."
"Let me check—it's Redd Gold."
Li Aozi pretended to open a webpage and search.
Moments later, Severston forwarded his screenshot:
True#10752: Let me check—it's Severston.
"—this thorough?"
Even knowing that the [Eternal Speaker] Redd Gold was one of Gaia's top three Speakers, being able to interfere with the knowledge of even a former Chief God was beyond Li Aozi's imagination.
"No wonder the Lai Anding Immortal Spirit couldn't find out."
"Exactly."
Severston said:
"That bastard is very powerful, and he only took my history. In my history, he became Chief God, not by directly usurping the divine right—ah, sorry, I didn't mean that."
"No problem, I stopped caring long ago."
Li Aozi then asked:
"So Severston, what do you plan to do?"
"Isn't it obvious? Regular methods can't reclaim everything for me, only the most brutal and direct way can correct all this."
Severston answered:
"Deicide and usurpation, then ascend the Pathway."
Before Li Aozi could respond, he asked Li Aozi:
"And you? Leoz, you failed miserably in the War Beyond the Abyss, what do you plan to do?"
"I'm quite satisfied with my life now."
Li Aozi spoke lies effortlessly, weaving a heartfelt story:
"I've fought for the Starry Abyss all my life. Now, I want to take a good rest. After this war, I want to travel the starry sky, find a suitable woman to marry and have children, and live out the rest of my life peacefully."
"You've really assimilated into mortal life."
Severston laughed:
"But, I suggest you not let your guard down too soon."
"What's the matter?"
"To my knowledge."
Severston's eyes shimmered slightly, and he said seriously:
"Starry Abyss pardoned Oshen."
"He was once demoted by you to an Evil God, a dissident that even the God Embracer was dispatched to hunt down and kill."
"Now, he's the highest proficiency player in 'Starry Abyss'. If he knows you're just an amateur player who recently passed Gamma, what will he do?"
"Is that so..." Li Aozi looked at the other, showing the same serious expression: "I never expected such a day to come."
"Leoz, you're just a streamer now, and Oshen is the world champion."
He consoled Li Aozi's little account that was only level 31, saying:
"But don't worry too much."
Severston smiled slightly:
"In the past life, you always helped me. This time, let me be the big brother for you!"
Level 32 [Doctor] Severston said this to the true form level 180 [Lunar String Archbishop] Li Aozi.
