Pretending To Be A Boss-Chapter 827 - 30 The Regret of the God of Destruction

827: Chapter 30: The Regret of the God of Destruction

827 -30: The Regret of the God of Destruction

After the ranking battle ends, there will be a special rest period that will last an entire day.

It is particularly in this moment that one can feel how vicious and manipulative the Red Emperor or the sea demons can be.

Everyone has watched the battles unfold and has gained some understanding of most of the competitors.

For example, Junlin has an overwhelmingly unreasonable combat strength, the Mirror-horned Shark’s forehead can summon a mirror that reflects attacks, and there’s a fellow who lies on the ground, resulting in his opponent mysteriously losing.

Such pieces of information allow the sea beasts to simulate a melee combat strategy in their minds.

For instance, everyone could temporarily join forces and share a common enemy until a certain formidable opponent is taken down.

The area outside the arena is a vast expanse of sea lit up by ghost corals.

Those big or not-so-big sea monsters, originally clustered in the arena, now scattered throughout this sea region.

Tang Xian and Junlin walked together, sensing the fluctuations around them.

“During the ranking phase, no one dared to challenge you, but now it’s different.

In a one-on-one fight, nobody is your match, but what about a gang fight?

I naturally won’t take action, but shortly after dispersing earlier, there were sea beasts communicating with me to have me join a camp against you—it’s going to be tricky.”

Tang Xian already had his calculations at heart.

He now felt like Junlin’s military strategist.

In fact, Tang Xian had thought of this scenario long ago, wondering if there was a chance that after one day seizing the inheritance of the Court of All Beasts’ judge, he could command all beasts and start a war against the Orderers.

Humanity would then reap the benefits without any effort.

This was somewhat unrealistic.

After all, even the judge himself couldn’t command all beasts.

But at least at this stage, he truly hoped to persuade Junlin to be on the same front as himself.

[A pile of trash stacked together is still trash, right?] Junlin was haughty.

“According to my view, if there’s too much trash, it becomes tiresome to clean up, doesn’t it?” Tang Xian said with a smile.

At this moment, both man and beast were still in the arena, and from the sea area bathed in red light, Tang Xian and Junlin could feel many gazes upon them.

[What will you do?]

“Naturally, I’ll become an envoy, ensuring that a being like you can comfortably enjoy victory.

Trash only dirties your hands—let me take care of the dirty work.” Tang Xian thought that if Tang Feiji could reach his current level of business acumen, he wouldn’t have stayed as a mere mount.

Tang Xian’s words were pleasing to Junlin, but Junlin was not foolish.

[What are you after?]

“I have glimpsed it from the Divine Sense of the Sea Mud King; as a creature that has lived in this sea region for over a hundred years, it understands many secrets of the arena.”

Seeing Junlin a little puzzled, Tang Xian organized his thoughts and said:

“For sea beasts, the melee is the endgame.”

[Why?]

“Because the Red Emperor is too powerful; invincible.”

[Humph!] Junlin just snorted coldly, but did not really argue.

Tang Xian continued:

“These red ghost corals can awaken the combat desires in the hearts of all beasts, but they also realize that the Red Emperor is far too terrifying.

For the sea beasts, the ultimate honor is not defeating the Red Emperor, but crossing blades with him.”

“For hundreds of years, the sea creatures in the deep-sea region have suffered the least deaths and injuries.

The sea beasts that made it here are the most powerful ones, and they’re also the least affected by the influence of the ghost corals.

The stronger the creature, the more it understands the difficulty of surviving.

They have established a set of deep-sea rules.”

[Rules?

These pieces of trash are really boring.]

“After all, in the eyes of all beasts in this sea region, evolution has its limits.

The one who can cross blades with the Red Emperor, in the following period, will receive the respect of all creatures in the deep sea, even veneration.

Regardless of strength, as long as one can earn this honor, even if there are stronger sea monsters in this region, they will heed its command.”

The memories of the Sea Mud King, when Tang Xian had received them, felt very interesting to him.

And thus, he had a legitimate motive.

[And you, want to obtain this honor?] Junlin had already heard it out.

At the moment Tang Xian nodded, a feeling of tangible oppression came upon him.

His expression unchanged, he continued somewhat humbly:

“In the history of the arena, there have actually been six occurrences of two creatures reaching a tie in challenging the Red Emperor.

I think we could help each other out.”

[You think I need your help to deal with the Red Emperor?]

“The Red Emperor is the closest existence to a god I’ve ever seen, and you are the same.

I cannot imagine that there could be two such beings existing at the same time.”

Tang Xian was now able to gauge his words very well.

The more he flattered Junlin, the more he had to elevate the Red Emperor at the same time.

To praise one and belittle the other was the method of low-level manipulators, but to praise both was the bait most likely to hook a proud and arrogant creature like Junlin.

Junlin indeed grew more discontent with the Red Emperor.

“If you defeat the Red Emperor, what if…

I mean just what if the Red Emperor has other preparations?

After all, it has been undefeated for centuries, and no creature in several sea regions can defeat it.

Isn’t that a bit suspicious?”

“And all I ask for is honor.

If I really advance with you to face the Red Emperor, with my strength…

I can only watch the battle.

You’re not worried that I’ll try to fish in troubled waters, are you?

I am not that sort of person.

I’m just a businessman.

The honor of fighting the Red Emperor would enable me to reap many benefits in this sea region.

And this honor, for someone like you who is the only one that could possibly defeat the Red Emperor, is surely not worth mentioning.”
