MMORPG: War God, You are Invincible Again-Chapter 1423 - 18: A Slip

As more than 300 interstellar battleships joined the fray, the disadvantage faced by the Hell Demons was instantly reversed.

Large numbers of Titan warriors also entered the battlefield one after another, starting a sweeping clean-up of the Undead Heavenly Calamity Army.

The Seven Towers were constrained by the Netherworld God with black chains, rendering them completely ineffective in the battle.

As for Geen, he had already left.

Since Geen was not broad-minded, the provocation from the Seven Towers made him withdraw from the battlefield with his army without hesitation.

Thus, Shi Yuan also abandoned the fight with Qin Hong and directly made his escape.

Before long, Qin Hong returned from a far-off battle location to Lu Hong’s side: "Master, how are you feeling right now?"

Hearing this, Lu Hong knew it was Qin Hong showing concern for him and chuckled, "I’m okay, I feel like I can still fight ten more."

In response, Qin Hong chuckled, "Master, you barely have any Divine Power left in your body, and it looks like your skeletal structure might not hold much longer, right?"

Saying this, Qin Hong proactively channeled a small amount of Divine Power, helping Lu Hong stabilize his body, which was as shattered as a pile of mush.

Soon, the Seven Towers realized they couldn’t continue the fight and chose to flee directly.

The Netherworld God originally wanted to stop them, but a gaze that landed in her heart made her give up on the idea of annihilation.

The familiar gaze of that master belonged to Fu Sang!

Watching the Seven Towers escape in distress until they disappeared, the Netherworld God sighed heavily.

At this moment, Nuoshan came to the Netherworld God’s side, bowing and asked, "Lord Netherworld God, why did you,,,,,,"

Attacking the enemy’s top powerhouses is something even a fool knows must be carried out, as it brings advantages without any harm to them. These are people controlled by Fu Sang, could they be persuaded to defect?

So, Nuoshan was puzzled and came to the Netherworld God to inquire.

In response to Nuoshan’s inquiry, the Netherworld God gave him a sidelong glance, then silently stood up and left, heading towards Lu Hong.

As the Netherworld God departed, Eferot stepped forward to stand beside Nuoshan, and asked, "Did you find out anything?"

Hearing this, Nuoshan shook his head with a wry smile, "He didn’t bother with me at all."

"I think there must be some unspeakable change in the Netherworld God, otherwise they definitely wouldn’t have spared the Seven Towers."

Even a fool could see that the Netherworld God was suppressing the Seven Towers, absolutely overwhelming them; under the restraint of the black chains, the Seven Towers had no ability to resist at all, they could definitely be defeated directly, why let them go?

This left everyone puzzled, but the Netherworld God’s power and pride made it such that, except for the Titans, no other factions dared to question or criticize.

For the sake of the Netherworld God’s reputation, Nuoshan spoke up to seek an explanation for everyone, but clearly, the Netherworld God wasn’t planning to give one.

Soon, the Netherworld God arrived at Lu Hong’s side, glanced him up and down, and said, "Injured this badly?"

Lu Hong smiled in response, "Not at all, you must have mistaken."

"Do you take me for a fool?" the Netherworld God said coldly. "Didn’t I tell you before when you encounter something strong, seek help immediately, why didn’t you?"

"I never intended to bear it alone, nor can I, you’re overthinking it."

Lu Hong still rebutted.

But the Netherworld God did not continue this topic, instead insisting on pulling Lu Hong back to the interstellar battleship.

At this moment, Qin Hong beside them inquired of the Netherworld God, "Is Master badly injured?"

"Not enough to die."

Since Lu Hong didn’t intend for Qin Hong to know, the Netherworld God did not elaborate further.

However, the hand pulling Lu Hong to leave was pressed down by Lu Hong.

The Netherworld God frowned, "Why aren’t you coming back with me to heal your injuries?"

"Why did you let the Seven Towers go?" Lu Hong asked, echoing the question Nuoshan had posed.

In response, the Netherworld God remained silent, not giving an answer.

"Why did you let the Seven Towers go?" Lu Hong asked again.

This question was asked on behalf of everyone present, and it needed to be asked.

This battle concerning everyone’s survival naturally should not be taken lightly. Letting the enemy go could result in countless more of their own dying in the future. The Netherworld God’s actions genuinely challenged everyone’s bottom line.

If this kind of conflict arises, it would undoubtedly severely affect internal unity.

Thus, Lu Hong needed to provide an explanation, both for his own people and for everyone else.

However, in the face of Lu Hong’s repeated questioning, the Netherworld God still did not respond, remaining silent.

This made Lu Hong perceive that something was amiss, he asked, "Have you encountered a problem?"

Lu Hong’s words were very vague, but this time, the Netherworld God gave a definite answer: "Yes."

Upon hearing this, Lu Hong’s expression changed suddenly: "Return to the battleship with me immediately!"

Now it was Lu Hong’s turn to be eager to leave.

As the intermediary promoting the grand alliance between both sides, the Titans and the Four Great Heavens trusted Lu Hong somewhat, and did not intercept him demanding an explanation at all costs.

If it were someone else, perhaps the Titans or other people of the heavens wouldn’t allow the other party to leave without providing a reason.

Entering the rest cabin of the battleship, which can be described as similar to a small imperial palace in its decor, it was a room designated for Lu Hong and his family, though Lu Hong hadn’t lived there more than twice.

After securing the door and ensuring no one could eavesdrop, Lu Hong stared intently at the Netherworld God and asked, "Has Fu Sang influenced your mind?" 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝙚𝔀𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝒐𝒎

"Yes." With no one around, the Netherworld God finally revealed the truth: "When I made my move against the Seven Towers, Fu Sang influenced my spirit, causing me to mishandle it, so I was unable to kill the Seven Towers."

Just as Lu Hong had suspected, this was incredibly bad news. On one hand, the Netherworld God was the strongest power among the Four Great Heavens, bar none, and Lu Hong would definitely not be able to oppose the Netherworld God. Moreover, this manner of being influenced by Fu Sang was insidiously eerie; heaven knows if Fu Sang could gain full control of the Netherworld God and suddenly strike at the alliance. If the Netherworld God was fully controlled by Fu Sang, the resulting destruction would be unimaginable.

Additionally, if it became known that Fu Sang could influence the Netherworld God, then for internal stability, even the Star Sea Power under his command wouldn’t allow the Netherworld God to remain by their side, and isolation would be necessary.

This is also the main reason the Netherworld God could not disclose this information; if anyone found out they could be influenced and controlled by Fu Sang, they would absolutely be eliminated on the spot.

Lu Hong was silent for a moment, processing the shock of this news, then asked, "Do you know when he manipulated you?"

"Perhaps when I first accepted the Death Law Fragment, he tampered with the fragment." The Netherworld God, having pondered for days, finally identified the moment they were underhanded.

"What if we remove the Death Law Fragment?"

Lu Hong attempted to find a solution, to which the Netherworld God shook their head, "It’s useless. This interference in my consciousness is beyond the Law, fully ingrained into my Divine Soul, and unless I die, I can’t break free from his influence."

"What extent can his influence reach?"

Lu Hong now had to consider the alliance’s perspective.

The Netherworld God shook their head still, "I don’t know, he’s never fully exerted his influence on me, so I can’t gauge how effective my resistance would be. Based on the recent situation, he could only influence me for a moment, but it could be prolonged and continuous. I can resist his will’s onslaught but will certainly be dazed for a while, and from his influence on me, I can sense this isn’t his full potential. Best estimation, he could render all my power useless instantly. I might manage to stay neutral, but if his influence exceeds expectations, I might even suddenly turn into an assassin against you."

Listening to the Netherworld God’s account, Lu Hong’s frown deepened.

This level of influence was terrifying.

"Then you cannot remain here now. I can mitigate this incident, but if next time, you are still influenced by Fu Sang, the matter must be addressed. By then,,,,,,"

At this moment, Lu Hong also felt overwhelmed, never expecting Fu Sang to have planted such a deep seed so early, truly despicable and sinister.
