145: The Terror of the Killing Statue, Agares's Decision

For such a powerful being, entering the mental space would not cause any disorientation; it might even feel like returning home.

However, this time, when Moon Demon God Agares entered Long Xingyu's mental space, it wasn't so straightforward; he was slightly disoriented, and it took him a while to fully recover.

Actually, everything he saw truly existed within Long Xingyu's mental space, it was just too disorienting and bizarre.

This was a world of brilliant light amidst fiery red.

The ground was littered with heads—the heads of various races among the Demonkind. Among them, the largest heads belonged to the Demon God-level powerhouses Long Xingyu had slain from his birth until now.

The largest ones were none other than the Bear Demon God, who had fallen not long ago, and the main body head of the Seventh Column Berserker Demon God.

Next to them, a couple of empty spots seemed to be reserved for Hell Demon God Marbas and the necromancer Saminegina.

Given this situation, it's hard not to suspect that he also plans to keep the heads of the Star Demon God, the Moon Demon God, and even Demon God Emperor Feng Xiu's main body there.

Looking along the path towards those heads, one arrived at the very center, where a statue could be seen.

The statue exuded an incredibly terrifying aura; merely looking at it caused a stinging sensation in one's eyes, and its oppressive power prevented direct gazes.

It wore crimson armor tinged with a bloody hue, covering its entire body, leaving no exposed parts except for the head.

After Agares observed it carefully, he was surprised to find that the innermost head of the statue was none other than the master of this mental world, Long Xingyu!

"Long Xingyu's mental world?"

"It's a bit strange, especially the aura emanating from this statue. It gives me a peculiar feeling, as if I've sensed it somewhere else."

Agares pondered.

Then, he suddenly froze.

It seemed he had thought of something.

This aura.

He had indeed sensed it before.

And it wasn't somewhere else; he had sensed it on his elder brother, Demon God Emperor Feng Xiu, and only after Feng Xiu had broken through the threshold of peak ninth rank.

And this aura had a name!

It was the Aura of God!

The aura that only a God could possess!

But this was completely different.

Feng Xiu's Aura of God was extremely ethereal; although it would always exist, there was always a feeling that it could shatter at a touch.

However, the Aura of God emanating from Long Xingyu was not like that at all. It was extremely profound, even substantial. Even a powerful being like Agares couldn't help but prostrate himself before it—this was the level he was at!

Thinking of this, Agares couldn't help but recall everything he had heard earlier.

Just now, that group of humans was saying that Long Xingyu had received the favor of a God. Now, his mental world possessed such an aura?

Could it be that he truly received the favor of a God, and in the future, he might even have the possibility of achieving Godhood?

This? Impossible, right?

Agares was thunderstruck.

For a powerful being like him, many things no longer mattered; it was only for the sake of his race.

In fact, for Agares, even the racial conflict was irrelevant; whether the Demonkind perished or not didn't matter, as long as the core of his Moon Demon Tribe could survive.

And the prospect of Godhood was a crucial point for him!

Something he needed to care about.

Therefore, at this moment, he had already put away his previous thoughts.

Now, he had to consider and adjust his attitude and position when negotiating and cooperating with Long Xingyu.

Because he knew very well that Long Xingyu, with the chance to become a God, was no longer a mortal being. If they were to achieve their "common" goal, then under such circumstances, he absolutely could not be controlled by Agares, because by then, his strength would certainly not be much inferior to his own.

And under these circumstances, the outcome would be that he would certainly not choose to obey Agares.

Then, he might have to consider some other methods.

As for making concessions, that was impossible; at most, it would be about who took the lead in the cooperation.

As he was pondering, a figure suddenly approached. Upon closer inspection, that being was Long Xingyu.

At this moment, Long Xingyu was looking at Agares's position with interest.

His mental world had always been like this; it was only after the God of Slaughter bestowed his divine favor that this particular flavor was added.

Of course, that's an aside.

Actually, for Long Xingyu himself, his mental world changed with his state, and now it could even be said to be fixed in this position.

But he could create a space for Agares to come over and chat about all this with him.

However, Long Xingyu knew very well Agares's situation, and he didn't need to weigh anything or hide anything from him.

Such things were meaningless.

Given the current situation, he was very clear about Agares's thoughts and circumstances.

His goal was to utterly destroy the large collective of Demonkind, and then he would lead the Demonkind willing to submit to humans into the human race, awaiting their assimilation after hundreds or thousands of years.

This was his idea.

And this idea did not conflict in the slightest with Long Xingyu's goal of annihilating the Demonkind and having the entire Holy Demon Continent once again controlled by humans.

Since that was the case, to make him completely determined, it would be better to fully display his strength to Agares.

He wasn't afraid of Agares betraying him.

Because apart from the God of Heavenly Scourge Austin Griffin, whom his son Long Haochen controlled, there was no other being who could make him change his mind.

And Long Xingyu would not let him know that Austin Griffin had appeared in this era.

Therefore, he would not betray him; it would be very difficult.

And even if he did betray him, his value would have been mostly utilized anyway, so there was no need to worry.

At least, not for now.

Soon, Agares also sensed Long Xingyu's appearance.

Immediately, he looked towards Long Xingyu's position.

Originally, he was still contemplating something, but now he completely stopped his thoughts, neither continuing to ponder nor choosing to ask Long Xingyu about any details before the transaction.

Why?

Because it was unnecessary!

The aura present in that statue earlier was terrifying enough, wasn't it?

Suddenly, Agares had an idea.

And now, the divine power contained within Long Xingyu's soul was even more concentrated, even surging to the point that if he didn't know he was Long Xingyu, Agares would even believe that he was the true God of Slaughter! (End of chapter)
