Chapter 282 283 Ten Days Later, Not a Single Chicken or Dog Left
Looking at the beast-like, crazy eyes under Hakuto's hair, Natsuki felt a pang of heartache. She looked at him and said, "You shouldn't be giving up on yourself like this. This will only hurt those who care about you. Moreover, your actions have already drawn the attention of some people. The killings caused by those Deep Ones will eventually be traced back to you."
Hakuto ignored Natsuki. After a long time, he spoke. "I don't need any of that grand reasoning. Right now, I just want to vent. After I've vented, I will go kill them and end all of this."
"Have you considered Rem and Ram?"
"If they love me, they will support me unconditionally. If they don't support me, then why should I care about them?"
A flash of black passed through the depths of Hakuto's eyes. During these days, Hakuto hadn't been doing nothing. He needed power. Power for revenge. And the fastest way to obtain power was assimilation, or rather, evil godification.
Nyaruko was right. Hakuto would eventually choose to become an evil god. Nyaruko had probably known about all this long ago, which was why she had said what she said.
Seeing Hakuto in this state, Natsuki finally said to him, "I will stop you, even if I have to take you back by force."
"Hehehe, hahaha!!!!"
Laughing loudly, Hakuto looked at Natsuki. This was the first time since Natsuki appeared that Hakuto looked directly at her. At that moment, Hakuto's body floated up. The next moment, the world turned black and white.
Hakuto stepped onto the ground and walked toward Natsuki step by step. But Natsuki didn't move at all. It wasn't until Hakuto reached out and grabbed her neck that the world regained its color.
"With just a little force, I can snap your neck. I really want to know what you're going to use to stop me. I don't want to kill you. But don't appear in front of me again. Don't force me to kill you. If you understand, then get lost."
Hakuto casually threw Natsuki aside. Natsuki hadn't even been able to resist at all. Thrown into the mud, Natsuki looked at Hakuto, her eyes filled with disbelief.
She couldn't even follow Hakuto's movements?
Since when had Hakuto become so powerful?
Or had Hakuto been hiding his true strength from the beginning?
Natsuki couldn't figure it out. But she realized one thing: she couldn't stop Hakuto now. Hakuto would sink deeper and deeper into this mistake, until finally...
Suddenly, Hakuto looked up in a certain direction. That direction was where the Deep Ones were. "Interesting. Great Ming's supernatural beings? I want to know what legacy he left for Great Ming. Hehehehe!!!"
The laughter, full of madness, made Natsuki want to say something. But Yakumo Yukari directly opened a gap and took her away. Hakuto glanced at them but didn't pay any further attention. Instead, he projected a sliver of his consciousness onto the Deep Ones.
Hundreds of Deep Ones were surrounded by over a thousand people. These people were using their own methods to beat down the Deep Ones.
The Deep One Hakuto had projected onto was also being surrounded by a dozen or so people. With a wave of his hand, all of these people were instantly sent flying.
"Form up!"
With Hakuto's command, the Deep Ones all gathered around him. Even at the risk of being beaten down, they didn't hesitate and directly came to Hakuto's side.
"You are the one controlling these monster behind the scenes?"
A person with an upright posture, fair skin, silver hair that reached his waist, a red dot on his forehead, handsome features, dressed in flowing white, with a serious expression, looked at Hakuto, a hint of questioning in his eyes.
Hakuto, however, looked at him and said calmly, "Yes, I ordered these Deep Ones to kill. Kill anyone they see. So, you've asked your question, and I've answered. Now, who are you people?"
"Zhang Ling-Yu, the tenth disciple of Tenshifu of Ryukosan. These are employees of Not Express."
'Zhang Ling-Yu? Not Express?'
'I see. So they are supernatural beings, huh?'
'Then Tenshifu of Ryukosan would be Zhang Zhi-Wei, known as "Under One Person", but actually "One Hit Under One Person"?' (T/N: Under One Person is the Chinese name of Hitori no Shita - The Outcast.)
"I see. Understood. Ten days from now, the Liu Mansion in Chengdu will have no chickens or dogs left. I'll give you ten days to prepare. As for these Deep Ones, kill them all if you can. They're all just damned people anyway."
Hakuto sneered, then withdrew his consciousness from this body. These Deep Ones went mad, killing toward Zhang Ling-Yu and the Not Express's employees.
Withdrawing his consciousness, Hakuto looked up at the sky and sneered. "Not Express, Ryukosan. Ha!"
The ground beneath Hakuto's feet began to die. The flowers, plants, and trees in the mountains also withered. Finally, it completely turned into a barren mountain. Not a trace of green remained.
"She's gone. What use are you staying for?"
Inside the gap, Natsuki looked at Yakumo Yukari. Yakumo Yukari said calmly, "If you continue, you will die. His eyes told me that he really would kill you."
"Then are we supposed to do nothing and just watch him sink deeper and deeper?"
"Of course not. But the prerequisite is that you stay alive. And now you know what has happened to Hakuto. Do you know why he can easily defeat or even kill you?"
Natsuki was speechless. Why had Hakuto's strength improved by leaps and bounds? Why could Hakuto have snapped her neck earlier if he had wanted to kill her?
"Let's go back. At this time, we still have someone we can ask. We can find out from her what exactly happened to Hakuto."
Hearing this, Natsuki no longer argued. Yakumo Yukari opened a gap. The next moment, they appeared in Hakuto's home in Japan.
"What happened?"
Seeing Yakumo Yukari and Natsuki return, Rem, Ram, Tifa, and the others, who had been worried sick, anxiously pressed them for answers.
"Hakuto, he..."
