Chapter 1070 – 1070. God’S Atlantis
I opened the wooden door.
Dozens of armed men surrounded the doorway. Most had black hair, and some wore cheongsams. At their center stood a Chinese man with short black hair, slanted eyes, and a black cheongsam.
He was a snake-like man. The man glared at Lee Mei, not me.
“Jang Chao. I didn’t expect you to move so quickly. That’s unexpected.”
Lee Mei’s voice was stiff.
“District 4344, one of our cash cows, was suddenly attacked. Thanks to that, the Black Serpent Clan is in an uproar.”
“Anyway, it’s good that you’re here. This man attacked the Black Serpent Clan. Take him down.”
Lee Mei betrayed me immediately. I had expected it, but it still left a bitter taste in my mouth. I tightened my grip on her chest.
“Ugh…! Let go! Jang Chao! What are you doing! Kill this man now!”
“This is so pathetic, it’s laughable.”
Jang Chao chuckled.
“Lee Mei. Don’t you think you’re underestimating me and the Black Serpent Clan too much? District 4344 is a special area with a lot of profit. The Black Serpent Clan even tried to attack it once and failed. And then, out of nowhere, it gets attacked. After you, the manager, went into the Forest of Life. And what do you know? You come out with the attacker, all buddy-buddy?”
Lee Mei’s expression hardened. She didn’t even react to my continued fondling of her chest. Unlike her expression, her chest was very soft.
“Only a few people know the details of how to attack District 4344. Five people, including you. The other four are doing other tasks… Think about it logically. A suddenly attacked district. A manager who disappeared for over 12 hours.”
“You’re misunderstanding. I didn’t betray the Black Serpent Clan. Think logically. I have no reason to, and there’s no way the two of us could beat the Ragged King.”
“But you did. And that man has the dominion, right? The others probably died in the fight, or you killed them. It’s common to throw away your allies to get more profit, isn’t it?”
Jang Chao sneered. It was such an annoying smile that even I felt irritated.
“No! This man killed the Ragged King alone and got the dominion! I saw it with my own eyes!”
“The Black Serpent Clan has been too lenient with you, and now you’re even making up ridiculous stories. Fine, whatever. I have time, and I’m curious what you’ll say, so I’ll play along. How did that man kill the Ragged King alone?”
“That’s… the Ragged King suddenly appeared… and he was weakened by his own tail’s poison…”
Lee Mei’s voice grew weaker as she continued. She knew it too. Even for someone who witnessed it, it was hard to believe, so how absurd must it sound to the listeners?
“…the Ragged King tripped over his own feet and fell… and he was poisoned… and lightning…”
“You expect us to believe that?”
“I know it’s unbelievable! But that’s the truth!”
“Let’s say I believe it. But isn’t the evidence of your betrayal already clear? Looking at you now, anyone would think you betrayed us.”
Lee Mei bit her lip. She tried to push away my hand that was fondling her chest. I pressed closer to her. I caressed not only her chest but also her thighs and buttocks.
“You must be happy to be adored by that man. Lee Mei, do you know what kind of smell you have right now? It’s the smell you get in a brothel. A strange smell of mixed, fishy fluids. And look. There’s dried semen in your hair, thighs, and arms. Oh, and a red hickey on your neck? You must have had a lot of fun.”
“I was raped by this man! I was raped!”
“I’ve seen women who were raped for over 12 hours, and they were miserable. They didn’t have a glow on their skin like you do.”
“Th-that’s because of my trait…”
Lee Mei paused.
She realized that nothing she said would matter.
“…The Black Serpent Clan has already ordered you to deal with me.”
“The end of those who betray the Black Serpent Clan is miserable, but yours will be especially miserable. Because you’ll have to live as a whore. And for the next month, you’ll be my toy. Honestly. I treated you so well, hoping to hold you once… I never thought things would turn out like this. If you had just given me your body, you wouldn’t have had to live as a whore.”
Lee Mei glared at Jang Chao.
“You crazy bastard. Even if I die, I’d never give you my body. Did you know? The rumor that you have a small dick has already spread throughout the Black Serpent Clan.”
Jang Chao’s face instantly hardened.
“Ha, haha. That’s a funny rumor.”
Seeing his awkward laughter, it seemed like he really did have a small dick. Then, Jang Chao’s slanted eyes suddenly widened.
“Oh, you used charm? This confirms your betrayal.”
“…How did you not fall for the charm?!”
“Do you think I wouldn’t prepare when I know your abilities? The Black Serpent Clan was already worried about your betrayal. Did you know? There are many men in the Black Serpent Clan who want you. Every man has imagined holding you in their arms at least once.”
Jang Chao approached with a smirk. He was wearing black gloves, and there were sharp blades on the tips of his fingers.
“…Yujin. Close the door.”
Lee Mei said to me in a small voice. There was no hostility.
“Why are you suddenly being so obedient?”
“I’ve been obedient from the start. I’m your fucktoy, aren’t I?”
Lee Mei smiled brightly at me. I smiled back.
“Close the door quickly. This door can’t be easily opened unless you’re the dominator or a manager chosen by the dominator. There are certain conditions. If you close the door, we can buy some time.”
The time we could buy wouldn’t even be a day. I could tell from Jang Chao’s relaxed attitude.
‘Things are working out well.’
My relationship with the Black Serpent Clan was the worst. What worked out well was my relationship with Lee Mei. Lee Mei was abandoned by the Black Serpent Clan. No, the Black Serpent Clan misunderstood her as a traitor. Misunderstandings are easily created, but clearing them up is twice as hard. Especially since the other party doesn’t even want to clear up the misunderstanding, it’s impossible.
‘Lee Mei has nowhere to go. Even if she has trustworthy allies, it would be hard to fight against the Black Serpent Clan.’
In other words, I was the only one she could trust.
“What are you doing! Hurry! Close the door quickly!”
“You can close it!”
“I lost my manager privileges after you became the dominator. I can’t even close the door!”
I retreated while holding Lee Mei. Jang Chao and the Black Serpent Clan men entered the Forest of Life.
“Keep Lee Mei alive. But kill that man no matter what.”
The atmosphere turned cold with Jang Chao’s murderous words. This atmosphere before a battle. It was familiar.
“…We’re screwed.”
Lee Mei muttered in despair.
There were over 50 opponents, and all of them were skilled in combat. They could be called a combat specialist unit. Especially Jang Chao, he was a strong opponent that I couldn’t easily take on. I could tell from his aura.
“…Yujin. Can you give me a dagger?”
“You’re going to fight too?”
“No. I’m going to kill myself. My only option in the future is to live as a sex slave for the Black Serpent Clan. It’s better to die.”
“Haha. Suicide? Then I’ll just rape your corpse. You’re worth the time.”
Jang Chao mocked Lee Mei. Lee Mei bit her lip tightly. Blood flowed. I wiped the blood from her lip with my thumb.
“Don’t bite your lip. And don’t even think about biting your tongue.”
“…Yujin, you could have abandoned me and run away… but you didn’t. You actually love me, don’t you?”
“That lip and tongue are for sucking my dick.”
“I knew it.”
Jang Chao’s expression twisted. He didn’t like that I was having a friendly conversation with Lee Mei.
“Change of plans. Don’t kill that bastard easily. He messed with our Black Serpent Clan, so he has to pay the price.”
Seeing his obsession with Lee Mei, it seemed like he had a crush on her.
‘He had his eyes on my woman, so I have to kill him.’
I wouldn’t run away.
But it would be difficult to fight them all alone. Even with full recovery, there was a numerical difference. Especially since I had to protect Lee Mei from getting hurt, the difficulty increased.
“Lord of the Heavens. Please help me.”
「The Lord of the Heavens looks at you indifferently.」
I expected this.
They weren’t kind deities who would help their contractors immediately when they were in danger. All deities were restricted by the system and couldn’t easily intervene without compensation. And in this case, the compensation the deity would have to pay would skyrocket.
But if I asked for help fairly, things would be different.
「Current AP: 844,480」
“I will offer 300,000 AP to the Lord of the Heavens.”
AP.
This wasn’t a temple, so the efficiency was a bit lower, but I could legally ask for the deity’s help.
I could receive skills or items from the deity, or borrow a portion of their power. In this situation, the latter was more cost-effective.
「The Lord of the Heavens accepts the offering.」
「A portion of the Lord of the Heavens’ power seeps into you.」
「You can use a portion of the Lord of the Heavens’ power for 30 seconds.」
Power surged within me.
I felt my mind elevate with the overwhelming power. I released a portion of the power into the air. Lightning permeated the air. It wasn’t visible to the naked eye, but my surroundings were filled with lightning.
“Lord of the Heavens…?! You crazy! You’re Zeus’s contractor! Kill him! Now!!”
Jang Chao shouted in horror. They rushed towards me. But they were too slow. It was so slow that I could yawn.
‘…I haven’t even used Flash or Lightning Strike… Is this a portion of the power of a top-tier god?’
30 seconds.
At first, I thought it was too short, but this was more than satisfactory. Still, 10,000 AP per second seemed like too much.
I resonated the lightning in the surrounding air.
A storm of lightning erupted. A huge wind and blue lightning rotated around me, sweeping away everything around me. The only ones unharmed were me and Lee Mei in my arms. Her face, wide-eyed in shock, was quite cute.
The storm devastated the surrounding 100 meters in 5 seconds and disappeared.
Surprisingly, Jang Chao had withstood the lightning storm. His other subordinates were completely obliterated. Of course, Jang Chao wasn’t unscathed either. His entire body was charred black, and he didn’t seem fully conscious. It looked like he could barely stand.
「You have gained 600 AP.」
「You have gained 1,200 AP.」
「You have gained 843 AP.」
…….
Since this wasn’t a challenge time, I gained AP instead of life points. In total, it was about 30,000 AP.
“Jang Chao. Why isn’t he dead?”
“…Jang Chao’s unique trait is half-human, half-corpse.”
“Half-human, half-corpse?”
“A living corpse. A living zombie. He has the trait of reviving as a zombie once he dies. If he spends 100 days as a zombie, he returns to being human.”
“So, we just need to kill him again in his zombie state.”
Jang Chao seemed to have regained consciousness and began to twitch.
“It won’t be easy. I heard that his stats increase by 50% when he becomes a zombie. The problem is that his intelligence decreases.”
“Watch this. Astrape.”
Boom!
A bolt of lightning fell from the sky onto Jang Chao. It not only split Jang Chao’s body in half but also burrowed deep into the ground. An earthquake occurred, and the ground cracked. Lightning shot up into the sky through the cracks.
Astrape had released lightning from underground. The range was only about 30 meters, but in terms of power, it was more intense than the lightning storm. The lightning was released five times in a row. The ground looked like a thundercloud filled with lightning.
Lee Mei swallowed hard, watching the blue lightning flowing through the cracked ground. Then, she gave me an affectionate smile.
“Yujin. I’m forever your fucktoy.”
I smiled back at her.
“I know.”
