I Will Teach You How to Hunt Gods-Chapter 406 - 64: Sudden Mutations

"Originally, if Mokaka could just stay quietly in confinement and endure the three months on the island, we wouldn't have to fight her to this unrelenting extent."

"Once the election is over, she could go back to being her little miss, and we could continue being our local tyrants."

"But this chick just can't sit still; first, she talks about liberating the Floating Island, then she wants to hold a concert... Great, now not only are we unable to sit still, but even the management of Biotechnology is getting antsy."

"If she really succeeds, she might get out of prison early... Considering her exaggerated support rate in the Lower City, as long as she stands out and shouts, the common folk there would vote for her en masse. This way, all the votes that Shen Ye, the mayoral candidate, has worked hard to gather would be instantly overshadowed."

"So five days ago, Biotechnology handed this crystal to me."

The Celestial King gently caressed the 'Blood Crystal' inside the nuclear device, his eyes almost brimming with satisfaction.

"The Blood Energy Decomposition Amplifier, as the name suggests, can decompose blood and convert it into energy that can amplify weapon power."

"Used on your Garbage Mountain Cannon in Casablanca, it can at least triple the cannon's penetration power; seen on your fist, Jiang Xing, it could probably let you punch through the Energy Shield of the Mokoka Camp."

"But using it this way would be such a waste, so I simply installed it on the nuclear device. This way, its power can definitely crush the entire camp."

As he said this, the Celestial King suddenly felt some strange gazes from those beside him, turning around to see that Casablanca, at this moment, was staring intently at the crystal, unable to look away.

"Truly worthy of a Biotechnology product... the effect can only be described with two words."

Casablanca murmured, "And that is 'magical'."

The Celestial King could see the greed in the old man's eyes; this guy had taken a liking to the Blood Crystal.

But that was to be expected.

The most abundant resource in Nest City is blood. Whenever the major War Gangs hold a team-building event, it produces dozens to hundreds of corpses, with most of their blood going to waste.

And now, just a bit of blood could significantly enhance weaponry and personal strength—it's a cost-free bargain.

"Don't get any ideas; this thing is a one-time-use item. Once used, it becomes ineffective."

The Celestial King shook his head and said softly, "If that weren't the case, I wouldn't be willing to install it on a nuclear warhead."

"Moreover, currently, it consumes a huge amount of blood. In the entire Floating Island, there's only one place that can satiate its hunger."

"That would be the Corpse Lake."

Saying this, the Celestial King paused again, taking a deep breath.

"So I'm planning to immediately activate the nuclear device. It will autonomously proceed to Stone Lake, absorbing the blood energy there... Once absorption is complete, it will explode above Mokoka's camp."

"As for you all, just stay here with me and wait. My place is strong and fortified, and though it is close to the camp, with the aid of human defense facilities, there shouldn't be any major issues."

Once those words were spoken, the previously noisy room instantly fell into a deadly silence.

The higher-ups of the ruffians, led by Casablanca, furrowed their brows, momentarily unable to agree.

The Celestial King knew what they were worried about.

The ruffians were not afraid of the nuclear bomb because this bomb, after all, is only of megaton grade. Even after the blood energy amplification, its power wouldn't exceed 50 kilotons and it's simply impossible to threaten those deep underground.

What everyone truly feared was the Corpse Lake itself.

Buried within that lake are millions of corpses; it's the common resting place for all who have died since the establishment of the Floating Island, containing endless negative power.

If it weren't suppressed by the Reality Stabilizer, the Corpse Lake would have long transformed into the Demon Cave.

And the Reality Stabilizer is incredibly fragile; any careless handling could damage it, and if it were accidentally struck by the nuclear bomb, the entire Floating Island may end up being its burial ground.

Tens of thousands of dead souls are enough to summon a real 'natural disaster.'

To prevent the Death Domain from being destroyed in time, Nest City's management might directly intervene, flinging the Floating Island along with the Death Domain into outer space.

In that case, everyone on the island would be doomed.

The ruffians hate Mokaka, but if destroying her means needing to die themselves, they wouldn't do it.

"Rest easy, I'm not dumb enough to dig my own grave; I still want to continue being the urban area's local emperor."

The Celestial King waved his hand to reassure them, "I've written several programs, ensuring nothing will go wrong."

"This nuclear bomb will only send off Mokaka and her group, causing us no trouble whatsoever."

"As for the Nest City police supervision... there's no need to worry about that either."

He pointed to the ceiling and asked, "You should have all seen the dark clouds overhead on your way back?"

"A major lightning storm—a once-in-several-years natural disaster—is about to begin."

"During the storm, police and satellites will temporarily lose their monitoring of the Floating Island... Which means that during this time, no matter what we do, we won't face restrictions."

"This means, after everything ends, we might even have the chance to find a way to leave the Floating Island."

"Now, none of you should have any objections, right?"

"..."

The ruffians looked at each other, pondering for a long time without knowing how to refute, eventually only nodding and tacitly agreeing to his plan.

Seeing this, the Celestial King was quite pleased.

But just as he was about to announce the start of the plan, he suddenly noticed that Jiang Xing, sitting opposite to him, continuously bowed his head, mouth slightly moving, as if talking to himself or communicating with someone. 𝒻𝓇𝑒𝘦𝘸𝑒𝒷𝓃ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝒸ℴ𝘮

"Mr. Jiang, Mr. Jiang Xing?"

The Celestial King gently frowned.

"The plan is about to start, and we'll soon embrace final victory."

"Could it be that Mr. Jiang, you have a different opinion?"

Hearing the Celestial King's question and feeling the confused gazes of others, Jiang Xing slowly raised his head.

At first, his expression was a bit bewildered, but he quickly recovered and gave a faint smile to everyone present.

"No objections, just musing over a matter."

Everyone was taken aback.

"What matter?"

Slowly standing up, hands in his pockets, Jiang Xing withdrew them. With a buzzing sound, a blue glow appeared on his body once more.

He calmly looked around, scanning the crowd before him, and after a while shook his head.

"I was pondering..."

"Pondering how you've prepared so many things, yet in the end, you still won't see the conclusion of victory."

"That's truly... regrettable."

As his words fell, a glowing pattern reappeared on his brow.

Rose, sickle, book.

This is the mark of the Death God.

The three-symbol pattern glows only when the Apprentice Death God decides to act.
