Chapter 537

Indeed, reaching this level is already an incredible feat.

After Bureau Director Edward was ambushed and his fate unknown, this mission could already be declared a total failure, with almost no chance of success.

But Leon, despite having almost no cards to play, not only managed to get all three of us back from the Deathscape but also tricked Prince Andre big time, shaking his foundation and forcing him to put everything on the line. He’s done everything he possibly could.

Though I still feel there’s a significant gap in strength, since everything that could be done has been done, the rest is just about doing our best and leaving the rest to fate, taking it one step at a time. The worst outcome would simply be death!

“Senior Ruben, actually our chances of success are quite high.”

Like how the Hound God digested himself back then, Leon, who was rapidly “digesting” Ruben’s soul, faintly sensed the pessimism within his soul and couldn’t help but gently comfort him: “Although my Leon Value is only a bit over 10, barely reaching the Level 2 Cleaner level, each of the three seniors’ Leon Values are close to 30 points. Our combined Leon Values exceed 90 points.

Even if we can’t bridge the gap between man and god, that’s still equivalent to a small bureau director with 59 Leon Points, and we have far more Leon Value reserves than a small bureau director, so it’s not impossible for us to fight.”

We might indeed have the strength for one battle, but after all these days, your reaction speed has dropped to the level of an average person. Can you really ensure your own safety against organized armed forces?

Moreover, when Bureau Director Edward was ambushed and his body destroyed, an eye appeared in the sky, forcibly sealing his soul inside his body. From this, who knows if the opponent has any other allies? Nevertheless, although he still didn’t fully support Leon’s plan, feeling that the chances of winning this “game” were slim, if it weren’t for Leon’s efforts, they wouldn’t even have had this opportunity to “play a bad game.” Senior Ruben could only nod and say, “Do your best, from here on out it’s all up to you… But don’t feel pressured, you’ve already done your best.”

“…”

No way, after all this effort, if it still ends up as a ‘best-effort situation,’ wasn’t all this for nothing?

When noticing the Crocodile Kingdom’s army beginning to form ranks, the three seniors lacked confidence. After pondering for a moment, Leon stopped trying to persuade them and instead patted the Black Goat’s horn.

“Let’s get to work; this is exactly what you’re good at.”

“Ahahaha! Finally, it’s our turn!”

Upon hearing Leon’s words, the Black Goat, which had been eagerly looking at the army outside with great anticipation, couldn’t help but shake its head violently. It first deeply inhaled the tense air of the battlefield with an intoxicated expression, then burst into laughter with eyes full of joy:

“This is the smell! Ahahaha, give me five minutes! Just five minutes, and I’ll make their blood flow like rivers!”

Blood from your grandma’s leg, can’t you fix this nasty habit?

Upon hearing the Black Goat’s words, Leon immediately turned serious and slapped its head hard, saying, “What nonsense are you spouting! Have you forgotten what I told you before? Make them drop their weapons, start fighting hand-to-hand until they knock each other unconscious. No random killing allowed!”

“Tsk, you little…”

“Are you going to do it or not? If not, I’ll find someone else!”

“Do it, do it, I’ll do it!”

After silently cursing Leon a few times in his heart, the Black Goat floated up unhappily. Its two spiral-shaped black horns slightly dimmed and visibly trembled several times.

And with the dark yet intense vibrations of the [War Horn], an invisible hot wind suddenly swept out from the Royal Palace in all directions.

In just a few breaths, this scorching wind crossed the open ground, reached the soldiers lined up in formation, even penetrated the thick shells of tanks and mechs, ascended hundreds of meters into the sky, entered the flying airships, and infiltrated the souls of soldier after soldier.

Accompanied by an imaginary explosion sound, the souls of the six royal direct-command legions of the Crocodile Kingdom, totaling over eleven thousand soldiers, simultaneously ignited with black and red demonic flames. At the same time, everyone smelled the familiar intense scent.

The salty iron, the bloody stench;

The stifling heat waves, the pungent sulfur;

The sudden surge of veins, the burning anger roasting their hearts;

The black and red flames burned brighter and brighter, reddening the eyes of all the soldiers, heating up their flushed faces, boiling the hot liquid in their veins, baking their throats until they involuntarily let out cries of rage!

“Kill!!!”

At the limit of 59 Taint Values, the Black Goat, pent up for years in the Virgo Subdivision, revealed its true power for the first time.

In less than a minute, the resilient souls of over eleven thousand soldiers were completely stained with the colors of iron and blood. The nameless anger originating from the depths of their souls tyrannically destroyed all rationality, turning everyone into beasts that knew only how to slaughter.

Weapons capable of piercing walls, heavy cannons that could collapse buildings, airships floating beyond the range of firearms…

Due to the full-scale eruption of a near-divine Great Demon, the powerful weapons of the Crocodile Kingdom, which could reduce an entire city to rubble within half an hour, instantly lost their operators and became completely abandoned scrap metal.

Within the range of the Black Goat’s ability, everyone instinctively discarded anything in their hands that got in the way and went berserk, rushing towards all nearby moving targets.

These beasts filled only with the desire to fight seemed to have lost fear and terror, ignoring the hands reaching out to strangle them, desperately choking others’ necks until either themselves or their target passed out. They would either fall unconscious or rise again, glaring with bloodshot eyes, roaring madly as they lunged toward the next target…

At 2 minutes and 15 seconds, the Royal Direct Command Legion of the Crocodile Kingdom was completely annihilated.

…

“This… this…”

Seeing the entire Crocodile Army being taken down in just the blink of an eye, the three Level 2 Cleaners who were worried moments ago were now completely stunned.

Female Cleaner Mona, looking at the wildly laughing Black Goat as if she had never seen it before, exclaimed in shock:

“This… this Sheep Head is such a powerful Anomalous Item?!”

“Ho ho, I’ve told you before, I’m a demon! The most ferocious Great Demon beneath the True Gods!”

Hearing the Female Cleaner’s exclamation, the Black Goat couldn’t help but twist its head around, its eyes full of pride as it boasted: “This is just one-seventh of my power! Are you scared yet? Ahahaha!

Let me tell you, with my once-in-ten-thousand-years talent, if I hadn’t been too greedy and tried to take over all seven deadly sins at once, I would have ascended to become a Nightmare King long ago!”
