Chapter 339: Taking Office! Holy City!_2
"""Monsters were no longer sufficient terms to describe these creatures; only 'indescribable' could aptly depict these monstrosities.
At this point, there wasn't the slightest resemblance to mosquitoes in their appearance.
Having undergone three evolutions, assimilating the deficiencies of all and condensing the filth of life, they had far surpassed the original concept defined by Sima, becoming veritable Disaster Envoys, 'Fallen Angels'.
Ansu curiously used Detective Magic to check their status;
[Disaster Envoy: Chaotic Fallen Angel]
[Rank: Third-tier Epic]
[Affiliation: Ansu Moningsta]
[Disaster Carry Capacity: Unlimited]
[Ability to survive in any environment and invade any domain]
[Inherent Ancient God's visage, failing a sanity check when stared at will result in extraction of one Magic Value per milliliter from the blood sucked, to be transferred for master's use]
[Note: Born from three evolutions, a perfect treasure transcended from Sima's apex, not a typical mosquito, but one that has sucked Squid Blood, a mosquito of Zibengism]
Indeed, a mosquito of Zibengism... A spark of realization flashed before Ansu's eyes.
A mosquito that had feasted on the blood of Sea People indeed differed from the local ones; capable of sucking magic while feeding, this characteristic greatly enhanced the Fallen Angels' utility value, making them completely applicable in combat schools.
Every usage of Holy Level Magic, such as 'Heavenly Judgment', would consume immense Magic Power, but whenever Ansu ran low, he would release the Fallen Angels for a massive draw from those around him.
Absorbing blood to supply Magic Power would particularly delight Ansu. Hence, this school might well be called the () () Happy School.
Let these creatures develop well, they might become the trump card of this conquest.
Ansu nodded in satisfaction, and with a command in his heart, the horde of Fallen Angels encompassing half the sky buzzed loudly and dived down upon his order, plunging into the dark streets and alleys of the Lower Chaotic City, slinking into every shard of shadow and nook, and in a mere few seconds, nearly a hundred thousand Fallen Angels vanished, leaving behind a clear starry sky.
After undergoing tens of thousands of purifications in the River of Life, Ansu's soul had reached a terrifying extent.
Every Fallen Angel's trajectory was mirrored in his sea of consciousness, allowing him to manipulate them at will; each one of them also served as his eyes, every corner of the Chaotic City lay within his vision.
These Fallen Angels would follow Ansu's commands, lurking underneath the Chaotic City to continue their growth.
After all, beneath lay innumerable sources of food.
The Chaotic City was now deserted, and the Fallen Angels were the new residents—Ansu continued to survey the entire city through the eyes of the Fallen Angels, still unable to spot Luojia, Miss Enya, or even a single hair of Luo Xiaobai.
It seemed they were born into different regions.
But it no longer mattered; in Avadri, they were bound to meet again.
[Time Remaining until Reversed Pope Effect Ends: One Hour]
Ansu nodded. He had used the 'Reversed Pope' at one in the morning the previous day; the effect of his Crown Title was about to end, and he would soon arrive in Chaotic Holy City in the guise of Child of the Curse, bearing eighty thousand Gold Coins.
Ansu saw the night deepen, the silvery moonlight enveloping everything, all details were checked for oversights, nothing was missed, and staying in the Outer City had lost its purpose; it was time to depart.
Take charge, Avad!
He magicked up all his possessions, not a single silver coin was missed, then turned towards the direction of Holy City and began walking.
Hmm, nothing was forgotten…
Ansu suddenly paused, frowning slightly as a thought struck him.
It seemed... he had forgotten something... but the money was ready, and the Fallen Angels were all positioned... Hmm, what could it be?
If even someone with his excellent memory had forgotten, it surely wasn't something important... Ansu shook his head again, deciding to proceed quickly. Luojia, Enya, and Luo Xiaohei were still waiting in Holy City...
Wait,
Ansu's brow raised slightly, recalling the number of people who entered the Era of Chaos... there were five humans and one cat.
Lister, Arthur!
The young man's eyes widened, he had forgotten those two!
—
"Brother Su, why haven't you come to rescue us...?"
"It's been a whole day and night!"
"Someone come, someone come!"
"I want to go home, waaa, I want to go home!"
In the lowest corner of the Chaotic City, inside an inconspicuous little black room, three wooden signs reading 'In Surgery' hung on the decrepit door, as if that door separated another profound and dim world. At this moment, from the deepest part of the shadow, there came a continuous sound of desperate wailing.
"Damn it, damn those Rainbow Envoys, kill us or dissect us, as you please, you've hung us up here for a day, just end it already...."
"Either way it's a single cut, please just do it, waaa, stop torturing us, waaa."
"Has everyone outside died!"
Arthur and Lister were suddenly tied up on a small table, their eyes covered with a black cloth, completely isolated from the outside world.
They were picked as rainbow geniuses by the Chaos Envoys themselves, just arriving at the Chaotic City, they were euphorically kidnapped by Gula, and confined in the black room for surgery.
They thought this was the worst of it, but at that time, Lister and Arthur had not yet realized that everything was just beginning. Physical torture was common; it was the judgment of their souls that was agonizing.
A day ago, the responsible Chaos Envoy had sterilized all the surgical knives and prepared the magic power, everything was ready to start the surgery. Lister and Arthur lay on the slab like lambs to the slaughter, terrified like convicts, waiting painfully for their ultimate fate... and that wait lasted a whole day and night!
The chief surgeon had gone out and never came back, they were bound to a stool, blindfolded, awaiting a day and a night!
The most terrifying torture in this world is not castration, but the waiting before the castration.
It was like the convicts had been placed on the scaffold, but then the executioner overslept!
"Guys, don't play with us like this... just cut us already." Arthur and Lister said in despair, feeling more orphaned than An Su, as it seemed the whole world had forgotten them!
No one paid any attention to them, not even the mosquitoes!
—That was the most despairing thing.
Although Arthur and Lister were blindfolded, they could hear the buzzing by their ears. Yet despite this, those damn pests wouldn't even take a bite from them as they passed by.
This made Arthur and Lister deeply doubt the value of their own lives.
Was their presence really so negligible?
What they didn't know was that the Fallen Angels hadn't bitten them because An Su had ordered them to leave the two alone, so it felt like even the mosquitoes had forgotten them.
It's said that in the Era of Chaos, even terrifying creatures like mosquitoes exist... and they could sense that these forms were completely different from Brother Su's Fallen Angels, even more chaotic and eerie.
Surely cultivated by the Followers of Life.
They wondered if Brother Su could escape the clutches of the Chaotic City...
If they had known it was this terrible, they would have taken the last bus back to the border!
Just when Lister and Arthur were in utter despair, the door slowly opened, and the long-missed moonlight spilled over this desolate and dust-covered land. Tears almost came from Arthur and Lister, whoever it was, just give them a swift end!
An Su stood at the entrance with an awkward smile, slightly embarrassed as he looked at Lister and Arthur, who were tied to the operating table, tears and snot flowing.
Even someone like him felt embarrassed at this moment.
He had planned to sign the contract and then save these two. Who knew... he got caught up with the Zibeng steamed beans, and completely forgot about these two brothers....
For the first time, a strong sense of guilt arose in An Su's heart.
This time, it was he, An Su, who had betrayed brotherly love.
"Rainbow Doctor, I have a complaint!"
Arthur and Lister, seeing the person at the door remained silent for too long, thought he was the chief surgeon returning, desperate to redeem themselves, quickly said,
"Actually, my brother An Su, he's quite attractive, akin to Little Nanliang."
"Get him for surgery too!"
That feeling of guilt instantly evaporated.
Just an instant,
The thick guilt faded away like a tide.
An Su stared unsmilingly at these two scumbags and waved at the hordes of Fallen Angels behind him.
"Give me a nibble for five minutes first! Bite their soles!"
