Chapter 127: Pigs Are So Powerful, Yet So Humble

Billowing thick smoke rose incessantly into the sky. The churning magma had cooled, transforming into a spreading expanse of black.

This meant that the Fallen God’s avatar had been eradicated.

Floating in mid-air, Leon and his wife still wore expressions of astonishment and shock—or rather, it should be said that only Leon’s face was etched with shock and terror. As for the hulking Shizuka, there was not a trace of shock on her, only bewilderment.

What on earth had happened?

How could a pig tossed into a sea of fire cause the fire to... extinguish? Was that pig poisonous?

Since the battle had taken place entirely within the sea of fire, it was natural that the hulking Shizuka had perceived nothing. But Leon was different. His "Eyes of Grey Mist," while not as potent as the "Piercing Double Pupils" of Ye Zong, the head of the Great Xia Dreamweaver Association, still possessed the ability to see through to the essence of things.

He had seen the scene beneath the sea of fire with absolute clarity.

The moment the small pink pig doll was tossed by Du Fang into the sea of fire, Du Fang had whispered something. The little pink pig had become incredibly excited, and a terrifying wave of dream-spirit energy had swept out from its body. There was even a boundless, terrifying presence being unleashed!

The little pink pig had transformed into an incredibly agile creature, darting through the sea of fire with the speed of a racing speedboat. Almost instantly, it had locked onto a position. That spot exploded, forcing the figure of the Dragon-Man to emerge. The Dragon-Man had stared at the appearing pig doll with utter astonishment. At first, the Dragon-Man had worn a cruel grin, but that grin quickly vanished, replaced by bewilderment, and then by terror. The change in his expression was worthy of a comedic actor!

Facing this pig, the Dragon-Man—a Fallen God’s avatar—felt a fear he had never known before. It was a form of pressure at the level of the soul, like the ultimate oppression between members of the same species! The Dragon-Man had never imagined that he, a dignified Fallen God, would be outclassed by a pig! He didn't even have the courage to swipe his claws! And he was a Fallen God!

"A god? Who isn't one?"

Facing the Dragon-Man’s desperate, indignant roar, Piggy Kiki wore a devilish smile on its snout and spoke calmly.

It had not been a god for many years. Nowadays, it was just a pig that knew its place.

In Leon’s eyes, the pink pig doll thrown by Du Fang seemed to have become a bottomless black hole. It was constantly absorbing the energy from the sea of fire. Heat poured into the pig’s body like a dried-up pond suddenly receiving the nourishment of a spring rain. It kept absorbing, and absorbing... The heat from the entire river of fire was completely drained by the pink pig.

The pigskin on the doll began to crack, and a dazzling, blinding golden light faintly emerged from within... That golden radiance was like the scorching sun in the sky. One golden scale after another, seemingly cast from solid gold, radiated the majesty and pressure belonging to a god!

Facing this pressure, the Dragon-Man didn't even have the courage to resist. He stared in horror at the entity breaking forth from the pig! This was Piggy Kiki’s true form!

The powerful Dragon-Man, a Fallen God’s avatar bearing the true will of a Fallen God, a being truly walking among humans, had knelt. It knelt before the entity that had emerged from the broken pig.

Then, to Leon’s incredulous eyes, the being of golden light that had emerged from the pig's body slowly approached the Dragon-Man.

With one bite, the Dragon-Man’s head was bitten off and swallowed!

Accompanying the crunching sounds... the Dragon-Man, this Fallen God’s avatar, died completely. Bite after bite, the Dragon-Man was entirely consumed by the pig.

The endless light vanished, and the being radiating that brilliant golden glow returned inside the pigskin. The terrifying aura was completely retracted. Its belly was round and full, and its pig face was filled with satisfaction. Seemingly sensing the gaze, the pig’s eyes slanted, glancing at the spying Leon.

...

The sea of fire turned cold and silent, and Leon, floating in the air, felt his spirit suffer a massive shock. He sat on the shoulder of the hulking Shizuka, gasping for air, his entire body drenched in cold sweat.

The Fallen God hidden within Du Fang was truly... terrifyingly powerful!

No wonder the God Core Organization was so insane. If such a Fallen God were to fall into their hands, and its power were to be harnessed and extracted, it would be a catastrophe for the entire world! Even the ceiling of humanity, facing such a Fallen God, would likely be powerless, wouldn't they?

The fiery red on Du Fang’s trench coat slowly began to fade. The pink pig doll, full and satisfied, floated up into the air and hovered before Du Fang, revealing a fawning, flattering smile.

Leon: "!!!"

The relationship between a Fallen God and a human... could it really be this humble? The pig was so powerful, yet so servile? In this era, such a modest Fallen God was truly a rarity! It completely overturned Leon’s understanding of Fallen Gods!

Most importantly, Du Fang’s ability to control the Fallen God exceeded all of Leon’s expectations! How did Du Fang manage it? In the Great Xia Dreamweaver Association, there were also Dreamweavers who harbored Fallen Gods within them and borrowed their power; these Dreamweavers were incredibly strong. But in their daily interactions with the Fallen Gods... the humans were always the humble ones!

"You..." Leon looked at Du Fang, his hair standing on end, as if a door to a new world had been opened for him.

Du Fang looked at Leon with confusion: "Senior Leon, the Dragon-Man is resolved. Let’s head to the city center."

Leon snapped out of his trance and took a deep breath: "What did you just say to that... pink existence?"

"Oh, you mean that? Piggy Kiki is actually very easy to talk to, just a bit gluttonous. It likes to eat, so I told it that if it found the Dragon-Man's location, it could eat the Dragon-Man," Du Fang said with a smile.

Asking Piggy Kiki to find a person would certainly be unreliable, but asking Piggy Kiki to find food—Du Fang felt that Piggy Kiki was a professional. And look, the beautiful outcome and the Dragon-Man’s peaceful departure... all undoubtedly proved the correctness of Du Fang’s choice.

Piggy Kiki vanished once more, and Du Fang turned his gaze toward the Jiangling city center, a cold look flashing in his eyes.

Any existence that intended to destroy his beautiful life must be strangled!

"Senior Leon, Senior Shizuka... Jiangling city still needs our support!" Du Fang said.

Leon was still reeling from the shock of Piggy Kiki. The hulking Shizuka, however, felt that Du Fang made a lot of sense. She grabbed Leon: "Stop blathering, man! Don't be such a wimp! Let's hurry to support Jiangling city center!"

With these words, the hulking Shizuka traversed the air, running through the sky as they sped toward the Jiangling city center. Du Fang controlled the airflow, moving like a carefree bird, his trench coat fluttering as he quickly followed!

...

...

In a high-end hotel building.

Lin Liuli’s expression carried a hint of exhaustion. She sat in a chair, her wine glass filled with red liquid. She kept looking out the window, staring at the outside while drinking. She was searching for the Bull-Man who had been tracking her. As one of the Twelve Zodiac Guardians of the God Core Organization, she dared not be careless.

Within her body, a sense of unease was constantly rising. As the Vermilion Bird, harboring a small god core within her, her perception of danger was extremely keen. The Vermilion Bird was telling her: there was danger!

Draining the red wine in one gulp, Lin Liuli did not continue to hide in the hotel. With the Azure Dragon dead, if the Bull-Man still dared to appear in Jiangling city, there was only one possibility: someone was backing him, giving him enough courage to return. And the only one capable of backing the Bull-Man was a Priest of the organization! Even the White Tiger and the Black Tortoise, who were on the same level as the Azure Dragon and the Vermilion Bird, did not have the qualifications to give the Bull-Man enough courage to track her.

"Has a Priest come?" Lin Liuli took a deep breath.

Then, she turned, put on her high heels, and left the hotel. Staying in the hotel any longer would just be waiting for death.

Watching the armed vehicles rampaging through the city streets, Lin Liuli slipped into a car. She gripped the steering wheel, her beautiful face showing a hint of struggle.

Suddenly, Lin Liuli saw a white figure in her rearview mirror, strolling leisurely at the horizon of the street.

Lin Liuli’s eyes narrowed, and the small Vermilion Bird god core within her roared.

"A Priest!"

Lin Liuli’s heart leaped into her throat. She had not expected that her defection would cause a Priest to personally come to capture her!

She slammed on the gas pedal, the tires screeching against the pavement as she sped off. The direction she drove her sports car was not out of Jiangling city, nor was it toward the Dreamweaver Building.

Now, Lin Liuli knew clearly that there was only one place that could save her.

That was Du Fang’s apartment complex!
