Myriad Realms Gatekeeper

Chapter 273 Viscount Gua Wa!

In the palace.

There was a constant sound of chewing.

The dozens of heads that rose behind the Nine Aspects chewed in unison, though it was unclear what they were devouring.

A cold, mad strength radiated from the Nine Aspects.

Shen Ye even had the illusion——

He was not in the mortal world at this moment but in Hell.

...It had indeed become stronger.

And even more manic and tyrannical!

"My lord, now we can properly analyze this matter," Shen Ye said.

"Go on," the Nine Aspects said.

"The person in charge of the Nightmare World is Tian Luo, right?" Shen Ye asked.

"Correct, Tai Yan is responsible for the Death Planet, and I am in charge of Hell, usually we don't interfere with each other—at least on the surface," the Nine Aspects replied.

"That's right!" Shen Ye clapped his hands.

"What do you mean?"

"Tian Luo was beaten out of the Death Planet and doesn't dare to return to the 'Five Desires'; this is because you can return to the 'Five Desires World' at any time," Shen Ye explained.

The Nine Aspects narrowed their eyes: "Are you saying, he is avoiding me?"

"Clearly—You have the potential to return to the 'Five Desires' world, so he must be avoiding you right now," Shen Ye stated.

"Right... That's true indeed... He is craftier than Tai Yan," the Nine Aspects murmured softly.

"I guess he's in Hell, my lord!" Shen Ye said.

"Why?"

"You see, he was just beaten out of the Death Planet. If he does not return to the Five Desires World, it's generally believed he'd come to the Nightmare World since he's in charge here," Shen Ye said.

"Correct!" the Nine Aspects agreed.

Shen Ye clapped his hands loudly:

"If you were to look for him, you would surely go to the Five Desires or perhaps come to the Nightmare World."

"Correct."

"In your mind, Hell is your domain, so it never occurred to you to chase him down there!"

"...Correct."

A pause of silence.

After a while, the voice of the Nine Aspects rang out again:

"Makes sense."

"Congratulations, my lord, only Tian Luo is left now—is there anything you need me to do?" Shen Ye asked.

"Baxter, your brain still works well, but your strength is just not enough," the Nine Aspects glanced at him somewhat regretfully.

"Indeed, my lord," Shen Ye said with some regret.

—Regret my ass.

If I were any stronger, you might have eaten me.

"If Tian Luo is in Hell, where do you think he'd hide?" the Nine Aspects asked.

"—Hell is boundless, and I haven't explored its limits. However, I guess he'd hide in a place you've never been or a place not under your control," Shen Ye said.

Not under control.

The Giants are not under control.

Will the Nine Aspects go?

Shen Ye looked at the Nine Aspects openly and honestly.

The Nine Aspects appeared contemplative.

Baxter's mind was very useful; listening to his advice would benefit his own further analysis of Tian Luo's whereabouts.

A place that hasn't been visited...

There were such places.

It could be worth checking out; if he were to be captured, he could settle both new and old scores at once.

"My lord, there is another matter," Shen Ye said.

"What?" the Nine Aspects asked.

With a calm tone, Shen Ye stated:

"Should Mo Ga Ru become aware of the Tai Yan situation and come looking for you here, how would you respond to him?"

The Nine Aspects was stunned.

Indeed!

After so much analysis, it was not until this moment that Shen Ye finally voiced his true concerns!

Do you dare to turn against Mo Ga Ru now?

If you dare, then I must be ready at all times to notify my mentors to take advantage of the chaos during your fight.

If you do not dare to turn against him—

Should the foremen's heads be left here to face Mo Ga Ru, or should they be taken away now?

"That is indeed a problem,"

the Nine Aspects mused.

Upon raising this issue, he even stopped his hasty departure and instead paced slowly around the great hall.

The dozens of heads on his back were making a ruckus.

The whole hall was buzzing with noise.

Shen Ye just listened from the side and found it somewhat unbearable.

He couldn't help feeling a little relieved.

It was a good thing that he had chosen "No Life" instead of "Life Soul Master."

Not to mention the clamor of a bunch of heads—

Even if there were only one other head chattering incessa ntly beside him, he would find a way to silence it forever.

After a long while,

the Nine Aspects suddenly stopped in his tracks.

"Baxter, you've done a very good job, so I'm entrusting this matter to you," he said.

"Me?" Shen Ye pointed at himself.

—You took so long to think, just to come up with that?

"Yes, you handle Mo Ga Ru," the Nine Aspects said with a hint of guilt.

All the dozens of heads on his back shut their mouths and turned to one side, not daring to look at Shen Ye.

Passing off such a matter to an exceptionally dedicated subordinate was surely...

"Baxter!"

The Nine Aspects stepped forward, patting his shoulder, and spoke in a low voice:

"My current strength is not enough to completely defeat Mo Ga Ru, and since I've ingested Tai Yan, I'm in the wrong."

"I must urgently seek out Tian Luo."

"With Tian Luo, I would no longer fear Mo Ga Ru."

"Therefore, it is only you who can help me hold off Mo Ga Ru!"

"I have no problem with that, but with my weak abilities, what if Lord Mo Ga Ru simply ignores me?" Shen Ye asked calmly.

"If it were you, of course it wouldn't work, but if you were to become me, then that would be easy," the Nine Aspects replied.

"?" Shen Ye.

A head from behind the Nine Aspects opened its mouth and spat out a small ornament.

It was a glass vial the size of a thumb.

The vial was filled with a red liquid that looked like blood but was more transparent and even emitted a faint glow.

The Nine Aspects placed the glass vial in Shen Ye's hand.

"This is the Vial of Blood Origin Curse Seal; it is filled with my strength, and my profession is unique," he explained.

"Once you open this vial, you will temporarily become me."

"Handle him well."
