Chapter 181 The coming of gods
Ling Yuan nodded. He didn't expect that Parker would take the initiative to bring up the matter of researching Compound No. 5, but since Parker brought it up, Ling Yuan would find a way to get it. Maybe he had just joined the Water Group and couldn't touch this aspect, but he had someone under him who could.
Ling Yuan stroked his chin with his hand, thinking secretly in his heart. Both Maeve and Butcher seemed to have their own special ways to obtain Compound No. 5. However, Ling Yuan did not intend to use Butcher's network of connections easily for the time being.
What if he chose to use Maeve's power? Ling Yuan couldn't help but wonder. But the problem was that he couldn't be sure what the consequences would be. Since he told Madeline about the relationship between Maeve and him, the Water Group would definitely send someone to closely monitor her. They might not dare to act rashly in public, but if they played some insidious tricks behind the scenes, even Maeve, a Herrscher, would probably find it difficult to resist!
Thinking of this, another crucial question suddenly emerged in Ling Yuan's mind: Although he successfully controlled the Honkai energy and prevented the disaster of Honkai from coming to the world; however, if Maeve encountered any danger or difficulties, causing the Herrscher to lose control, then in the end she would still not be able to escape the fate of Honkai.
This undoubtedly brought great trouble to Ling Yuan, because although the control of the collapse was firmly in his hands, even if the collapse was caused by the loss of control of the Herrscher, it would take a long time to stabilize the situation again. In this way, it is bound to cause incalculable consequences - the world will inevitably suffer the loss of thousands or even tens of thousands of lives! This is definitely not the scene he wants to see!
Therefore, it would take some time to obtain compound No. 5, so Parker had to put his research on compound No. 5 on hold for the time being.
At this moment, Ling Yuan frowned slightly, as if thinking about something. Parker saw this and knew what was going on, so he stopped talking and walked silently to the dining table, gently pulled out a chair, sat down quietly, and waited for Ling Yuan's response. The whole room was silent, with only the faint ticking sound of the hands of the wall clock.
"Let's put the matter of Compound No. 5 aside for now. You can live here first and find an empty guest room." Ling Yuan waved his hand and finally gave up thinking about these things.
As soon as he finished speaking, Ling Yuan's face suddenly turned gloomy, and his sharp eyes were like lightning, looking straight out the window. At this moment, on the other side of the New York City beach, a dazzling meteor was like a flaming cannonball, streaking through the sky, dragging a long tail of flame, and fiercely smashing on the soft beach.
This sudden change frightened the people who were enjoying the beach. They screamed and fled. However, after a while, when the dust settled, people were surprised to find that nothing unusual had happened on the beach. So, curious and cautious people began to gather slowly, wanting to find out what was going on.
As the smoke and dust gradually dissipated, a huge deep pit suddenly appeared on the beach. In the center of the pit, a woman wearing ancient style armor was half squatting and standing there quietly. The sand beside the woman melted due to the high temperature generated by the woman's landing, and then quickly solidified into hard blocks.
The woman slowly opened her eyes and glanced coldly and ruthlessly at the people gathered at the edge of the pit. Her expressionless face revealed a kind of frightening contempt, as if they were just a group of insignificant ants that could be easily wiped out at any time.
At this moment, a man plucked up the courage, walked cautiously towards the woman, and asked stutteringly: "Uh...um, are you the legendary superhero? Or are you in some kind of predicament?"
However, the woman showed no mercy or patience towards the man. As she stared at the man in front of her, a cold light flashed in her eyes, and then she acted as fast as lightning! She tightly grasped the man's neck, and with a slight force from her fingers, the man's neck instantly shattered like fragile porcelain. With a dull sound, the man's head rolled to the ground, and blood splattered everywhere.
The woman mercilessly threw away the lifeless corpse in her hand, then raised her foot and stomped hard on the rolling head, crushing it to pieces. She said coldly with a tone full of contempt and disdain: "How dare a mere ant-like existence stand in front of Lord Slude and try to be on an equal footing with me? You are simply courting death!"
The people at the edge of the pit were shocked. They stared at the extremely bloody and cruel scene with wide eyes, and their bodies trembled involuntarily. Fear spread quickly like a plague, and the uncontrollable panic made everyone lose their minds. They opened their mouths and let out sharp and piercing screams, and then fled in panic.
Slude looked indifferently at the people around her who were terrified and desperately running away, with a frightening bloodthirsty light flashing in her eyes. She jumped lightly and jumped out of the deep pit she had created, and her figure quickly shuttled among the crowd like a ghost. Every time she flashed, her hands would ruthlessly harvest a fresh life, with clean and ruthless movements.
In an instant, the originally peaceful and beautiful beach was completely overturned, and it seemed to be a terrible slaughter site. Scarlet and glaring blood flowed out continuously, dyeing the entire beach red, and slowly seeping into the ground through the gaps between the sand grains. The air was filled with a strong and pungent smell of blood, which made people nauseous and suffocated.
At this moment, Ling Yuan, who was in the center of New York City, saw the whole scene. He frowned and thought to himself, "This woman is undoubtedly a deity like Hermod!"
Seeing Ling Yuan's increasingly solemn expression, Peter Parker, who was standing by, could sense that something was wrong even without activating his spider-sense ability. He immediately moved to Ling Yuan's side without hesitation and followed his gaze. Unfortunately, with his current strength and insight, he could not have such powerful strength and keen perception like Ling Yuan. Therefore, he could not see the bloody massacre happening on the beach at all.
"Hey! Boss, what happened?" Parker looked at Ling Yuan suspiciously, only to see that he was still frowning, as if he was thinking about something. Parker couldn't help but ask, but he didn't get a response from Ling Yuan.
At this moment, Ling Yuan was concentrating his mind, using his powerful spiritual sense to sense the movements on the seashore from afar. However, Ling Yuan had no intention of stopping the woman who was killing people wantonly.
Ling Yuan thought to himself: Let's see if Maeve, after becoming a Herrscher, is capable of competing with this mysterious goddess...
