Chapter 584: Chapter 584: Bustling (Eight)_1 Chapter 584: Chapter 584: Bustling (Eight)_1 “I’ve never seen such a Transcendent item before, one that can even conceal a divine aura.”
In the spacious living room, Veheler was eyeing Fu Qian’s mask with a seriously astonished expression.
“However, if you have such an item, why would you–”
“Be targeted by the Night Watchman, right? You might as well just ask directly instead of beating around the bush.”
Fu Qian snorted.
“I’ve lived for nearly two hundred years, is it so surprising that I would have some special collectibles?”
“And believe me, if I could wear this thing all the time without any side effects, then there would be very few people who could ever see my face again.”
Fu Qian’s translucent fingers gently brushed over the mask.
“It originally belonged to a true Demigod, and although it’s on my face now, it doesn’t mean that the original owner’s consciousness has been completely eradicated.”
“On the contrary, wearing it for too long in a short period might result in me being unconsciously eroded by that person’s will.”
“You all certainly wouldn’t want me to suddenly lash out at you without any warning, right?”
“And you, Marco.”
Fu Qian glanced at Bizarre Brother with a chilling look.
“Believe me, if that situation were to arise, I would turn you into a Puppet before completely losing control of my will.”
…
At this moment, Fu Qian’s appearance coupled with the threats was undoubtedly a bit murderous, with an ideal level of intimidation.
His old adversary Marco, after hearing this, somehow didn’t make a sound for a while.
“Don’t worry, Ya Yu will soon find a way to cure the Godblood Curse.”
Seeing the tense atmosphere, Veheler gave a light cough and took over the conversation.
“Will he personally cure me?”
Fu Qian asked bluntly, his tone revealing little expectation.
“We’ll have to confirm that with him.”
Veheler shook his head.
“Besides, the cure may not require his personal touch, don’t forget that the previous Godblood Curse was, after all, just a talisman.”
“Not surprising.”
Fu Qian snorted coldly, making a cold comment.
It seemed indeed as Camus had said, this Ya Yu was truly a mysterious figure.
Even for the operation he organized, Veheler, who came off like a spokesperson, wasn’t sure he would appear.
…
“So how much longer do we need to wait for the others?”
You can’t argue, Fu Qian directly shifted to another question.
“There’s no need.”
This time, Veheler’s answer came with certainty.
“No need?”
Marco was clearly shocked and interrupted with his question, it was apparent that this was the first time he had heard Veheler’s arrangement.
“Don’t tell me that the people in this room are all the manpower we have?”
He pointed at Fu Qian.
“Not to mention it’s uncertain whether this guy even has the ability to fight.”
“That’s not quite the case; I have already made arrangements for some of the personnel in advance.”
Veheler smiled slightly.
“Today is mainly about waiting for the two of you, considering your strengths, for which I need to assign you specific missions.”
“Of course, the situation with Camus is indeed unexpected, and I will find a way to solve it as soon as possible.”
“Our strengths… So, exactly how many Demigods will participate in this operation?”
Marco, not easily fooled, pressed on with the question.
“There will be two Demigods.”
Veheler hesitated slightly before directly answering his question.
“You’re joking? Don’t tell me it’s just you and Ya Yu?”
Marco’s expression in that moment even borders on ferocious, his tone saturated with resistance.
“Dunis’s side isn’t exactly friendly with the Night Watchman. Just their Chief Chelphus alone is already a Demigod, and there are several other near-Demigods to boot, not to mention that mysterious Demigod who injured Camus.”
“Under their vigilant watch, this is simply a suicide mission!”
“Don’t be nervous.”
Veheler, eyeing the genuinely anxious Marco, gestured to the side.
“Demigods indeed are me and Ya Yu, but we also have another helper…”
Another helper…
Following the direction of Veheler’s gesture, Marco’s gaze shifted, and the next moment he spotted a tall figure draped in a cloak.
And the one who appeared silently, making his way to the trio, reached out and removed his hood.
Platinum blonde hair, a majestic visage, with clear and pure eyes.
Turns out to be an acquaintance, Ariel.
Even a Divine Envoy has been brought in? The content of this operation really does raise one’s expectations!
Fu Qian couldn’t help but click his tongue in admiration.
Naturally, he had a deep impression of this person, who was the highest combat force he had encountered so far.
And considering his role as a tool for the Native Council, his appearance in such a situation wasn’t surprising.
Although this one might have some issues with his mental state, his combat power is genuine.
Especially his almost side effect-free ability to have a True God inhabit his body.
Fu Qian remembered the sun that had appeared before his eyes at that time.
Ariel must have arrived early and just stayed there without coming out.
Luckily, as a professional, in order not to arouse suspicion, he promptly reigned in his perception upon entering and did not trigger any accidental reaction.
“Ariel!”
Now clearly recognizing the newcomer, Marco exclaimed in surprise.
As a Second Phase legend, towering two whole dimensions above him, Marco’s own momentum immediately lowered.
“I’m delighted to meet the two of you.”
Ariel, still with that same confident and relaxed demeanor, smiled and greeted the two, Fu Qian included.
“Hello!”
Facing the greeting of a Divine Envoy, Marco seemed somewhat flustered as he responded earnestly.
“Hello…”
The attitude of Fu Qian was markedly different from his, visibly perfunctory in his tone.
It wasn’t a case of teenage rebellion, but rather that for someone who was seriously injured and on the brink of losing control, to appear too amiable would be abnormal.
“Mr. Camus, I heard all of your earlier questions.”
In the face of Fu Qian’s greeting, Ariel’s expression remained constant, seemingly unperturbed.
“Unfortunately, due to my unsuitable power type, I am currently unable to assist.”
“No worries, I will continue to look forward to Mr. Veheler’s side then.”
The Pontiff’s Gifted Mask really does wonders!
Fu Qian made polite conversation, but his thoughts were focused on something else.
The question he was concerned about was whether Ariel could see through the mask’s cover and detect the true issue with him.
The proof showed that the effect of the mask was indeed powerful; even a higher First Phase Divine Envoy couldn’t spot anything amiss.
…
“So, what exactly is the purpose of our mission?”
After Ariel’s arrival, it was clear that Marco no longer doubted their combat strength.
But at the same time, he quickly became aware of another problem.
An operation necessitating the participation of a Divine Envoy, and rallying as many hands as possible, seemed quite terrifying!
“The purpose is simple!”
Veheler turned his head to glance at Ariel.
“We are going to hunt Hamadus, the God of Hubbub.”
