Chapter 248 My Hand Hurts
“Wait, I am a deity of the good alignment. You can consider saving me. The healing this gentleman used just now can revive me. I was not corrupted by the Blood Moon. After being revived, I will fight alongside you against the Kel'Thuzad…”
Sensing the killing intent of Ling Yunxiao and Wang Ye, an urgent voice came from inside the giant beast's corpse.
Wang Ye knew Ling Yunxiao all too well; his hands showed no sign of stopping. The next second, he turned incredulously to look at Ling Yunxiao, who was holding his shoulder. Had this guy taken the wrong medicine today?
"To which faction of gods do you belong? Do you have a name?"
"I am not the god of the deep sea. This place was once a prosperous kingdom, and I was their god! Beneath my body lie the ruins of that kingdom. We were actually the first human race to be discovered and slaughtered by Cthulhu."
However, our entire nation perished in battle, and no one believed in the Khrushchev faith; ultimately, our people sank to the bottom of the sea.
Believe me, I am truly a god of the Good and Lawful alignment. If you save me, I will surely help you fight against the Outer Gods. My divine power can withstand the mist and restore corrupted sea creatures to their original forms.
The voice inside the behemoth had become somewhat hoarse due to its urgency, showing its strong will to survive.
Why don't you just say that you are a god of Atlantis?
Leviathan, if your goal hadn't always been the captain, we almost would have believed you.
Ling Yunxiao sneered, pulled Wang Ye back two steps, then looked up at Zhong Kui and gently clasped his hands in a fist salute.
"Thank you for your help, Judge."
Zhong Kui smiled and agreed. His crimson official robe fluttered even without wind. He slowly drew his sword and stepped forward.
"I know nothing about Leviathan! There's no trace of corruption on me; you can use your mental powers to investigate! This isn't Atlantis, but it's an ancient ruin! You must believe me!"
The voice within the behemoth transformed into a roar, and a meter-long totem beast slowly emerged from its surface. Its appearance was identical to the behemoth's corpse on the ground, and it exuded an aura of righteous peace, bringing a sense of tranquility and auspiciousness to anyone who beheld it.
"Leviathan, stop doing unnecessary things. The ancient gods, including the land of the ancestral gods, don't act like you. You've only removed your malevolence and think you can get away with it? That's somewhat ridiculous."
Before you even possessed the body of the captain, you had already lost. Now, stop doing things that make us look down on you.
As Ling Yunxiao spoke, he pulled all his teammates back.
"Roar... Since you refuse to believe me, then I'll have no choice but to send you to your deaths!"
The auspicious beast god roared, and then a terrifying force fell from the void, instantly evaporating much of the seawater and revealing the broken seabed.
Soon, the mist gathered and fell, Zhong Kui snorted coldly, and the mist dissipated once more.
The auspicious beast god had vanished without a trace, and what stood before them had become a fish with hard scales, sharp teeth, and spikes under its belly.
"Is this what you looked like before you were contaminated? You look really ugly! And you don't taste good either."
Wang Ye looked Leviathan up and down with disdain, while Zhong Kui stepped lightly with a solemn expression. Instantly, countless spider lilies bloomed beneath his feet, and then three figures quickly appeared beside him.
"The Rewards and Virtues Division is headed by Wei Zheng; the Investigation Division by Lu Zhidao; and the Underworld Law Division by Cui Jue."
"Greetings, Your Excellency. We have come uninvited; we hope you will not mind."
"You flatter me, gentlemen. This monster is now yours to keep."
"That's natural."
After bowing respectfully, the group looked at Leviathan, then turned to Zhong Kui with some surprise. Cui Jue frowned at Zhong Kui, his eyes questioning what was going on. Zhong Kui could kill several of these things by himself; why call all four of them over at once?
Zhong Kui glared at him, pointed at Leviathan, and secretly transmitted his voice using his ghostly power.
"Gentlemen, try not to kill this thing. Cripple it and take it back."
Wei Zheng shook his head, looking at Zhong Kui with strong disapproval.
"Judge Zhong, this thing is useless. Why waste your ghostly power taking it back? You're not planning to give Emperor Shen Tu such a congratulatory gift, are you?"
"You think you're so great, so high and mighty, and you look down on our congratulatory gift? Then go back now. Consider this gift as the gift of the three of us."
Zhong Kui snorted coldly. Although he didn't know why Shen Tu was now so interested in these strange and ugly creatures, he couldn't be bothered to persuade Wei Zheng, who didn't want to get involved.
Wei Zheng's expression changed repeatedly as he hesitated, unsure of what to do.
Leviathan, of course, could not hear the whispers of the others. Seeing Wei Zheng's hesitant appearance, it assumed that Wei Zheng was afraid of it and immediately swooped down on Wei Zheng, seemingly intending to tear him to pieces.
"..."
Wei Zheng didn't hesitate at this moment. In his opinion, this ugly thing was actually using him as a breakthrough point, which clearly showed that it didn't think highly of him!
When Wei Zheng suddenly drew his sword, Ling Yunxiao and the others had already retreated to a distance to watch the battle.
"Just now, it was thanks to you that you didn't let go, otherwise, my soul would probably have been exiled again."
Wang Mian sighed and spoke to Ling Yunxiao with deep gratitude. Ling Yunxiao raised his hand, revealing several wounds on his palm caused by wooden splinters, which were dripping with blood and displayed before Wang Mian's eyes.
"Captain, my hand hurts."
