Chapter 226 This Ainst Part of the Plan (2/2)
Wrath flew forward and entered Wang Yun's body. A reverse devil contract had been formed!
This contract was the opposite of what Tong and Friday had formed. Instead of granting the wish of a mortal with the devil's wing power, Medusa demanded the absolute submission from Wang Yun.
Once the contract is completed, Wang Yun would lose control of his body, his speech, his thought, and his everything to Medusa. In exchange for the loss of body control, Wang Yun would be compensated by getting extra lifespans from Medusa.
Because Wang Yun blacked out by fear, Medusa was free to set her compensation rate to one lifespan a year by default instead of allowing Wang Yun to adjust it himself.
It was a forceful contract which was illegal in the Netherworld and all other dimensions. Had Medusa done this in Hell or other places, the archangels and gods would have come to arrest her.
'I should have done this earlier. Entrusting him an important task is a mistake.'
Diao Chan stopped meddling with the unconscious body of her foster father and concentrated on reading his memories.
Ten minutes later, Diao Chan and Wang Yun opened their eyes. With her alternate conscience, she controlled Wang Yun's body back to his room.
As for herself, she left her room and headed toward the gathering ground where dead bodies were piled together. For her, throwing away life essence like this was a waste.
…
November 30th.
Dong Zhuo Army reached the gate of the Capital City along with siege engines and prepared troops. They came with all preparation for war with the Imperial Clans inside the walls.
The 100,000 elite soldiers with the black ”Dong” flags formed a hundred of square formations, getting ready to siege the wall. A hundred of trebuchets and fifty siege ladders were put in front of the formations, and archer towers were being pushed forward to line with the other siege weapons.
They did not bother hiding their hostile intention or their political stance about at all.
Liu Yu and 10,000 garrison troops gathered on the wall while the other 40,000 men formed similar square formations in front of the north gate, facing Dong Zhuo Army.
Though outnumbered, Liu Yu was confident that he could win. Behind the walls, Wang Yun and 20,000 newly recruited militias stationed as their reserved troops, so they would not mind a prolonged siege battle.
As both sides got ready to engage in a battle, Diao Chan had snuck out of her palace and watched the stand-off from the sky. As she stood at the altitude of 1,000 feet above the ground, and she had not transformed back to her original body, no one below had noticed her.
Diao Chan was using her alternate conscience to control Wang Yun to the gate, planning to order the gatekeeper to open the gate to negotiate with Dong Zhuo Army.
*RUMBLE*
*CRACK*
The sudden earthquake and the shattered sky caught the attention of all soldiers and Diao Chan, who also stared at the cracking sky in shock. She gazed toward the north as she sensed a trace of a grand battle between immortals where Lilim and the karma snake had crashed.
'Was that the new goddess of this dimension? What was the thing she fought?'
While Diao Chan's attention was on the irregularity, the mortals below were shocked by the phenomenon.
”This is ominous signs!” Liu Yu shouted as he looked at the cracked sky while he sat on the floor because of the earthquake.
Dong Zhuo and Li Ru also fell from their horses and panicked.
”Li Ru, do something!”
”M-My Lord, I can't. This is something beyond my power!”
The burly soldiers on both sides screamed and cried in chaos for a whole minute until everything returned to normal.
As they came back to their senses, the formations on Liu Yu and Dong Zhuo's were in a mess, but nobody could grasp this opportunity to exploit it. They were too shocked by the apocalypse event.
”Form ranks again! Hurry!” Liu Yu shouted.
”Get back in line, slaves!” Roared Dong Zhuo.
The two armies regrouped while they continued to sneak a glance at the sky to see if there would be more catastrophes or any sign from Heaven. As they kept looking at the sky, a dozen soldiers spotted Diao Chan, who was floating above them.
”What is that?”
”There's a shadow in the sky?”
”Is that a bird?”
”Is that a kite?”
(Author: No, it's a freaking loli, standing in the sky!)
Liu Yu also noticed Diao Chan and recognized her identity. He had seen this little girl many times with Wang Yun in the past and knew about her current status. A drop of sweat rolled down from his face to his chin as he recalled the content of the recent Emperor's decree.
”The chosen Empress… The child of Heaven!” Liu Yu shouted and kowtowed as his forehead slammed on the floor, ”I, Liu Bo'an, greet Her Majesty!”
The sudden greeting shouted alerted all soldiers on both sides. Liu Yu's soldiers did not hesitate to kneel as they realized that Diao Chan was their Empress.
”Long Live Her Majesty!”
”Long Live Her Majesty!”
Superstitious as they were, everyone chanted and kowtowed because they mistook her as an immortal, chosen to be their Empress by the heaven.
Meanwhile, Dong Zhuo and Li Ru glared at Diao Chan with hatred and astonishment. They had never feared fellow humans, conspiracies, or armies. However, the supernatural beings were unknown to them. Thus, they could not help but be on guard against this little girl.
Diao Chan, on the other hand, had an ugly expression as she did not expect them to notice her or worship her at this moment.
”This is not part of the plan.”
