Chapter 1067 - 877: The Arrival of the Four Young Ladies

Chapter 1067: Chapter 877: The Arrival of the Four Young Ladies

For the Ten Lords, the greatest pain is the lack of information transparency. Without the information advantage, their judgment is not much different from ordinary players.

The news about the prince, the airship, and the Siren pirates, and how Gem City is responding, are all unknown. No matter how many team members are arranged on the outskirts to live-stream the recording, it’s futile.

With such a major incident, Raphael could already imagine his fate: "Will I be taken away and investigated like Metatron, locked in a small dark room?"

Metatron sighed: "If the Emperor seizes the opportunity to target you, your crime is much more severe than my arms smuggling,

your only hope is to severely damage this Shadow Stream Guardian Demon God, which could count as an achievement. It would be best if the guild master could also severely damage Shadow Stream City in the process."

Sariel said solemnly: "The premise is, hopefully, Shadow Stream City is not the Emperor’s insider industry! Otherwise, it’s unimaginable."

Raphael was nervous: "Could it be an insider?"

Sariel sighed: "What do you think? Gem City has been assisted by the Mirror Shadow Demon to establish a complete city surveillance system since the pioneering era. Also, consider that the Shadow Demons are a weak population in Hell, and it’s reasonable for them to rely on the Emperor."

Metatron said: "That makes sense. Although this Hell Passage was secretly modified backstage by Alpha, the intelligent deduction system indeed needs to give this passage a plausible reason, and allegiance to the Emperor is obviously the most logical deduction."

Raphael was anxious: "What should we do then?"

Michael sighed: "Assume that it is reasonable for Shadow Stream City to ally with the Emperor, but there’s another possibility that the Emperor cannot completely control Shadow Stream City! So they supported an Andariel Enchanting Demon Tribe to restrain it. If this battle crushes Shadow Stream City allowing the Emperor to gain real control, it might still be credited."

Raphael suddenly felt hopeful: "Then let’s bet that the Mermaid can win!"

Sariel said solemnly: "If the boss’s speculation is correct, then the Emperor’s optimal solution is to have the Mermaid and Shadow Stream City perish together. Otherwise, the Gem City Church would not have cooperated so much in holding grand prayer events for the Mermaid."

Michael suddenly realized: "Sariel is right! How is the prayer situation in the Five Cities currently?"

The steward reported: "Both Black Iron City and Gem City Churches are organizing citizens to pray overnight on a large scale, while Silver City is very chaotic due to that temperamental priest, and hasn’t formed a certain order yet. Only a small part of citizens in Oak City and Bronze City are praying."

Michael said: "Assume my guess is correct, then the prerequisite for the Emperor letting the Mermaid and Shadow Stream City perish together is to make sure they are evenly matched. Once the Emperor finds the Mermaid can’t hold it, what might happen?"

Sariel blurted out: "Oak City and Bronze City Churches will inexplicably start praying too!"

Michael thought for a moment: "Why not, Sariel, go confirm with the Mermaid?"

Sariel was stunned, then suddenly realized: "You mean, I should directly tell this speculation to the Mermaid, have her cooperate a bit, feign weakness, and observe Oak City and Bronze City’s reactions?"

Michael: "Exactly!"

Sariel was conflicted: "There are also four City Beauties and five old ladies here; can I speak of this in front of so many people? Wouldn’t this touch the Emperor’s taboo?"

Michael thought for a moment: "Don’t mention the Emperor’s name directly, just imply it, and see if the Mermaid can understand."

"I’ll try."

Sariel then approached the howling Mermaid and said: "Lord of the Divine Throne, how about trying to rest a bit?"

The Mermaid turned a deaf ear.

Sariel continued: "Lord of the Divine Throne, suppose that someone hopes for you and the Shadow Stream Guardian Demon God to perish together, that person will definitely secretly control the prayer situation in the Five Cities..."

The Mermaid paused and opened the second sound channel without affecting the howling to ask: "Who might ’that person’ be?"

Sariel reiterated: "The one who can control the prayer of citizens in the five cities, and currently only two and a half cities are praying for you!"

The Mermaid blinked: "So I should rest?"

Sariel was overjoyed: "This divine-level intelligence truly is my little darling, she understands as soon as I tell her!"

Raphael felt gratified: "It’s worthwhile to have sacrificed my Gem City’s Guardian God..."

Sariel exclaimed excitedly: "You can’t directly rest, you must pretend, make it seem like gradually getting the worse end, that way you can secretly accumulate strength."

The Mermaid chuckled: "Interesting..."

Afterward, the howling sound indeed dropped a tone.

Sariel was excited: "Steward, track the prayer situation of the Five Cities in real-time."

The steward: "Monitoring with full force."

Then, as the Mermaid’s pitch got lower, it was even the first time we heard a breathing sound.

Then the steward reported: "The order in Silver City is starting to recover, and citizens have begun to pray in an orderly manner."

Sariel shuddered all over: "So, it is indeed the Emperor controlling it?"

Michael said: "Mainly observe the situation in Oak City and Bronze City..."

At this time, Uriel became impatient: "Raphael, have the team members on the other side of the passage seen my Aimee?"

Raphael immediately inquired, and the team members provided live broadcast monitoring: "No one is there at all, the four believers are still praying in place."

Uriel was confused: "At this distance, with her flying speed, she should have arrived!"

Raphael: "Maybe she’s lost, let’s wait a bit?"

Uriel frowned: "This is a millennium-evolved Enchanting Demon, how much information does the system load for her to get lost?"

This wait lasted for over ten minutes.

In those ten minutes, the prayer order in Silver City fully resumed, and the Mermaid indeed "stopped" the downward trend of her pitch in time; then continued to perform, and continue testing.
