Chapter 1501: In Hand
In fact, what Li Yao feared the most wasn’t being trapped, because in his current Soul Form, trapping him was simply impossible. The worst-case scenario was his form being killed, but his soul would instantly return to his body. However, after being killed, his soul would be weak and need a period of recuperation before it could transform into the Death God form again.
What he actually worried about was Alice directly attacking him. In a situation where he was blindsided, leaving aside the outcome of the battle, if he couldn’t find a clue to the antidote, even a victory would be pointless.
However, it was his so-called Divine Envoy identity that came into play. Alice might be suspicious, but she didn’t have the courage to kill a Divine Envoy.
That’s why she imprisoned him in what she considered the safest cage.
This was all thanks to his Touch of Darkness; otherwise, Li Yao wouldn’t have been able to use this method, but of course, even without the Touch of Darkness, he would have other ways.
The situations are fixed, but people are adaptable, and every situation has its pros and cons. For now, the Touch of Darkness could give him a slight advantage.
But possessing the Touch of Darkness basically blocked any chance of Li Yao befriending the NPC temples and deities of the order faction.
And the deities of the chaotic faction, upon seeing the Touch of Darkness, wouldn’t take a liking to him either. That is the downside of the Touch of Darkness, although it hadn’t reached that level yet.
Of course, it’s a bit early to talk about this now.
Li Yao wandered around casually; the Dwarfs and gnomes answered all his questions. Coupled with Li Yao’s understanding of alchemy, he quickly found the antidote.
