Chapter 288 Zhang Zhi-Wei: Young Man, Quite a Murderous Intent
Hakuto's eyes were cold as he watched Natsuki fall and dissipate into specks of light, without any change in emotion. He sheathed his blade and continued moving toward his destination.
Step by step, he continued toward his goal. Before striking, Hakuto hadn't known that Natsuki was a magical clone. But it didn't matter. If Natsuki's true body appeared before him again, Hakuto would show no mercy either. Whoever stood in his way, Hakuto would not hold back.
Natsuki's figure appeared before Yakumo Yukari. Her face was somewhat pale. Although it was only a magical clone, part of the damage inflicted on it had been transmitted to Natsuki's true body.
Normally, this shouldn't have happened. But Hakuto's power had caused the damage to the magical clone to be transmitted to Natsuki's body.
"He has struck you. This shows that he truly doesn't care anymore. It seems we have only one final option."
Seeing Natsuki's condition, Yakumo Yukari spoke calmly. But Natsuki could hear the struggle and hesitation in Yakumo Yukari's voice.
"We have no choice. We cannot stand by and watch Hakuto truly become an evil god. Once he becomes an evil god, he truly will never come back."
After speaking, Yakumo Yukari continued, "You're here, aren't you, Nyaruko?"
With Yakumo Yukari's words, Nyaruko appeared before her. "Of course, I've been here all along. But what do you want with me?"
A smile hung on Nyaruko's face. But everyone present could feel Nyaruko's malice.
"What did you do to Hakuto?"
Yakumo Yukari's eyes narrowed as she stared at Nyaruko. With her intellect, she had naturally noticed that Hakuto's current condition was abnormal, not just because of anger.
"What makes you think I did something, rather than Master becoming like this on his own?"
"Stop joking. No matter how angry he was, he would never become as heartless and unfeeling as he is now."
Nyaruko clicked her tongue in annoyance. Then she said with some displeasure, "I hate people like you the most. You talk as if you know Master so well. But I did have a little to do with Master's transformation. Remember the 'Wrath' flowing through Master's body? Although Master suppressed part of it, he was unaware of the truly important part."
A cute smile hung on Nyaruko's face, but there was no trace of amusement in her eyes.
"Our true bodies cannot descend into this world. That's why we need a contractor to project our power into this world. Last time, when Master was attacked, They were angry. They even tried to enter this world with their true bodies. But unfortunately, they failed. However, some power remained within Master's body. And that power is chaos, is disorder."
"That is precisely why Master's personality has changed so drastically. Otherwise, even though Master is a different kind wearing human skin, he wouldn't have harmed you."
Arisu stared at Nyaruko. "Are you telling us this because you want to stop Hakuto from continuing his evil godification?"
It wasn't just Arisu who realized this. Yakumo Yukari and the others had also noticed. But they didn't understand why Nyaruko had changed her mind.
"Because it's incomplete. Even if Master becomes an evil god now, it's useless. What I want is for Master to become the Lord of Evil Gods. That requires all three of us: me, the Black Goat, and the Nameless Mist. But right now, Master is still missing the Nameless Mist. So even if he completes his evil godification using my power and the Black Goat's power, it's incomplete. He cannot become the Lord of Evil Gods."
"So I want to use your hands to interrupt Master's evil godification. I cannot act to stop Master. But you can. That glowing one is also annoying. If that glowing one had been willing to help this time, I wouldn't be stopping Master... Tsk. That glowing one really is entirely unlikeable."
As for what Nyaruko said, it was clear that no one would simply believe her. But in the end, they didn't say anything to her.
The fact that Nyaruko wanted to stop Hakuto's evil godification was good news for them. The only issue was that they couldn't be sure whether Nyaruko was telling the truth.
Ten days passed in the blink of an eye. Hakuto walked step by step from his childhood home before age seven to his home after age seven.
Looking at the large mansion before him, Hakuto knew even without entering that it was now deserted. But he didn't mind. Run away. Hakuto didn't mind playing a game of cat and mouse with these people.
But to Hakuto's surprise, an old man walked out of the mansion. His attire told Hakuto who this old man was.
"Tenshifu of Ryukosan?"
Zhang Zhi-Wei looked at Hakuto, smiling. "Little fellow, you've caused quite a stir."
"Just so-so. It's just a matter of dying sooner or later. I'm just sending them on their way a little earlier. Besides, I'm going to kill everyone in this world eventually. So sooner or later doesn't make a difference."
Zhang Zhi-Wei narrowed his eyes. "Quite a murderous intent for someone so young. This old man has no intention of stopping you from taking revenge. But ordinary people haven't wronged you. Why do you want to kill them?"
"Consider it displaced anger. More than that, it's weariness and disgust. Old man, don't you find humans quite detestable?"
Zhang Zhi-Wei looked at Hakuto and shook his head. "Little fellow, this old man will help you take revenge. How about you come back to Ryukosan with this old man to cultivate? Ryukosan's Thunder Technique looks quite cool. The Golden Light Curse is also pretty good. In your young people's words, 'that's pretty cool'!"
Hakuto chuckled softly. "Old man, you're quite interesting. But..."
He raised his head, his eyes blazing with killing intent.
"Today, I will kill whoever I want. I will kill even gods who stand in my way."
