Chapter 957 (2/2)

However, he could always figure out the reason behind it in the future. The most important thing to do at present was to fight the battle and claim victory. That was all.

So he decisively executed a means that he had not used for a long time. Without inhibitions, he tore and devoured the souls of the demons. If he merely relied on the ordinary means of contact, his “eating” speed would be much too slow. So he simply grabbed the demon, crushed it up and directly swallowed it—in fact, this was all just so that he could devour Pigg’s soul more efficiently.

After eating Pigg’s soul, Sui Xiong instantaneously felt a great boost in his spirits. He felt as though he had eaten a legendary Great Power of the Dragon and Tiger Pill. His entire being was filled with strength. His back was no longer tired, and he no longer felt weak in the knees. He could carry two buckets full of pure water up five floors without panting… So subsequently, when he had to confront the other demons, he naturally chose this method.

That was all.

But such things should never be said out loud. If everyone knew that the Void Mask, Auscar, was a great devil who could swallow the souls of demons, who knew what kind of looks they would cast in Sui Xiong’s direction!

Sui Xiong might be someone who did not know much of the ways of the humane world, but he was no fool!

So he merely smiled and pretended to be mysterious!

In truth, it was simply because he could not think of a reasonable explanation. That was all.

Since ancient times, the demons had been undying and indestructible. They could be defeated but never destroyed. No matter what kind of special performances Sui Xiong had put up in the past, it was still difficult to come up with a reasonable explanation for the matter on how he managed to destroy the demons.

Naturally, Sui Xiong would know the answers. So other than putting up a mysterious front that showed that “this is my secret,” he really could not think of any good answer.

It was like those humorous stories on the Internet. The commoners would consult the Zen master for enlightenment on some teachings, but the Zen master would smile without replying. The commoner would persist and ask, “Master, I really grasp no understanding of what you mean, can you enlighten me?” As a result, the Zen master flew into a rage and gave the commoner a good beating… Smiling could be because he was sure of all the answers and thus pretended to be mysterious. And of course, it could also be because he was trying to cover up his embarrassment, thus pretending to be mysterious.

Sui Xiong belonged to the latter.

But all of this was hidden behind his smile. Javier might be a knowledgeable and well-informed God of Pleasure, but he knew very little about things like criminal investigation. Therefore, he was unable to spot any clues from Sui Xiong’s expression. This was how Sui Xiong managed to fool Javier.

Of course, even a criminal investigation expert would not be of much use. In this whole wide world, there probably would not be a single criminal investigation expert with the ability to study the expressions and psychological state of a jellyfish’s face. Even the head of national intelligence of the Republic of Northwest, Easter, who was once an ace spy, would not be able to accomplish such a feat.

So Sui Xiong simply covered up this matter with a mysterious smile. Javier even helped him to explain to the other gods, saying, “This is one of Auscar’s ultimate tricks that he has never told us about.”

Right, an ultimate trick. This was an ultimate trick that he had kept a secret. This was simply a fabulous excuse!

Sui Xiong was secretly amused by this thought as he quickened his pace and charged towards the ensuing demons that were approaching him in succession. Once again, his expression became serious.

This battle where he was going to meet the demons and Chaos head-on, had just begun.
