Chapter 227 Dictator Lilim (1/2)
Chapter 227 – Dictator Lilim
Since she was discovered, Diao Chan descended to the top of the wall and walked to Liu Yu.
Medusa, or Diao Chan, could have massacred everyone any time she wanted to. However, the existence of the cultivator Zuo Ci hindered her actions. She knew that once she offended this being, she might implicate Tong and Friday, and Zuo Ci would likely to end their lives as she killed too many natives in this world.
With this kind of restriction, Diao Chan had planned to allow Dong Zhuo to win the siege so she could borrow his hands to kill all officials in this city, sabotaging the foundation of the Han Dynasty. Then, she could have controlled Dong Zhuo, like she had controlled Wang Yun, to make his force fight against Tong's enemies so all forces would have been weakened.
If such a scenario were to happen, she would not receive the blame for Dong Zhuo's tyranny as she would have become a puppet in everyone's eyes at that point. At the same time, Tong could have used this opportunity to rest and develop his forces to finish off every warlord in the country.
Unfortunately, Wang Yun and Liu Yu forced the officials to escape from the city, letting a few nobles slipping away from Diao Chan's grasp.
From this point, she decided to control Wang Yun herself and forcefully surrender the Capital to Dong Zhuo, allowing the tyrant and Liu Yu to crash in the Court while saving the lives of their soldiers for Diao Chan's future use.
However, her plan went south again as her presence was discovered. The people in the Capital would likely to worship her as the divine Empress now, and her plan to make Dong Zhuo a scapegoat of the fallen of the Han Dynasty failed before her first phase of the scheme had even started.
'If I rule these people in the open, Zuo Ci will definitely come for me again. That geezer is strict about being ”Neutral” in the world of mortal, but he secretly interfered with several otherworlders already. What should I do to get him off me?'
The worrying thought of Diao Chan turned into a deep frown on her face. As the garrison soldiers detected her grave expression, they thought that they had angered the immortal child. All of them slammed their foreheads on the ground to apologize.
”We're sorry to disappoint you, Your Majesty!”
”Please forgive us!”
”Don't kill us!”
The frown turned into a cringe. Diao Chan had not done anything or said anything, yet these people already begged for her forgiveness. The people's fear of the unknown in this era was too strong.
Diao Chan watched these trembling soldiers and sighed. All her plans had been ruined one after another, and she could not think of anything to salvage this situation.
'Forget it. I'll just control Dong Zhuo and Liu Yu. Then, I'll manage everything myself.'
As she was about to transform her wings into souls again, the entire colorful scenery turned into a black-and-white world, and everyone stopped moving. The rumbling sound and the murmur disappeared.
The little girl realized this phenomenon well as this was Tong's [Time Stop] skill. However, she did not remember having this skill or activating it. Though she was aware that the time had stopped flowing as it should have, Diao Chan could not move her body, only her eyes and her conscience were functioning.
[Ahem! This is your new goddess of this dimension, Lilim. I'm stopping time to talk to all of you with eight and ten wings.]
The voice of Lilim entered Diao Chan's mind directly through telepathy. Because the sound did not leave a hint of the source or the direction of the speaker, Diao Chan could only stare blankly in front of her.
[As you all should have received the messages from my mother, I'll be taking care of you from now on. Since I'm new here, and I'm not like my mother, there will be changes to suit my style of management.]
[I've read the records about what you are doing these few months, and I have to say … I'm not impressed. Everything you are doing will lead to the destruction of this dimension. Why on earth do you want to spread your demonic and angelic viruses here? Creating souls?]
[None of you knew about the process of the creation of the dimension and how it works! Before you start putting souls into empty shells, you supposed to create a resting place for wandering souls first!]
[I'm going to summon all of you to Mount Kunlun with me, so you'll be helping me creating the soul warehouse and the first level of both Heaven and Hell.]
Diao Chan could feel that a force that was dragging her upward to the sky. She attempted to resist and sent the mental message back to Lilim.
”Please wait! Can I join you later? I have unfinished work to be done in the mortal world!”
The force that was pulling her paused, and she received a replying voice.
[What are you doing? Playing mortal?]
Diao Chan could not answer the question. She was indeed interfering with mortal affairs so she could not confess what she was doing. Had she said it, she could have invited more troubles to herself.
[You are … Medusa. Right, you are in a unique body of Diao Chan! I see that you are doing something fishy over there at the Capital, but your playtime is over! You are coming with me to work for this dimension, or I'll use my authority to turn you into a mortal if you continue to resist!]
Her face paled as she hypothetically thought how she would have lived without her eight wings. She had spent over several million years to get this far. Throwing them all away for the sake of her son-in-law and her adopted daughter was still hard for her.
'I should work with this lady first, then I'll try to find a way to help them later.'
As she gave up resisting and accepting her fate, Lilim sent yet another mental communication voice.
[You know what? I think it's better to limit the number of administrators so none of you can ruin this planet. I'll only need that geezer Zuo Ci to work with me. As for you and the other eight-wing goddess, I turn you both into mortals!]
Before Diao Chan could have begged Lilim to reconsider, the ruthless daughter of Calamity Goddess had erased all demonic power and Medusa's wings.
”NOOOOO!!”
