Chapter 1738: Lin Qiye's Revenge

Two thousand years ago, it was right here that 【Chaos】 drove his soul out with a single strike and occupied this one-of-a-kind monstrous body.

Now, Lin Qiye was going to take it back with his own hands!

Countless threads of causality wrapped around this body. 【Chaos】's body seemed to be responding to some kind of summoning, trembling violently. A strange force was frantically squeezing His soul, trying to drive it out of the body!

One had to understand—this body originally belonged to Lin Qiye. They shared the closest bond of causality in the world, and this was his "key" to returning home.

Although with his current cultivation, he couldn't directly compete against 【Chaos】's soul, having the two Heavenly Sovereigns' assistance made everything completely different.

A blurred figure was slowly挤出身体, and as countless threads of causality were slapped to the ground, the black figure that the two Heavenly Sovereigns had restrained began to twist rapidly, returning to the original "Lin Qiye" appearance.

The soul-form 【Chaos】 fell into the hospital courtyard, dust scattering across the heavens.

After losing its soul, Lin Qiye's original body immediately collapsed to the ground like mud. Now it was merely a human shell with several God's Ruins and origins—Lin Qiye's soul still existed within the Hongmeng Lingtai.

The Lingtai Lin Qiye quickly reached out to grab this body. Threads of causality slid down his wrist and钻进 the empty body. Then, the body gradually stood upright, like a marionette suspended in the air.

Two "Lin Qiyes" stood side by side, gazing at each other.

Looking at this clumsy version of himself, Lin Qiye felt strange. However, he had no intention of returning his soul to his original body—after all, even the best body couldn't compare to the Hongmeng Lingtai that could rival gods and possessed infinite lifespan.

As for this original body, Lin Qiye certainly didn't intend to waste it... Through the control of causality threads, he could turn it into something like a doppelganger, just without self-awareness.

In the shattered courtyard, the re-soulless 【Chaos】 struggled to stand. Looking at the two Lin Qiyes above, His expression was ugly beyond measure!

"Damn it!!"

He had spent so much time and effort to seize the hospital and that body, but how long had it been? Lin Qiye had taken everything back... The bamboo basket had been filled only to find it empty. Not to mention, whether His soul-body could even be preserved was now questionable.

Boom—!

A figure fell from mid-air onto the shattered earth. Cloaked in the Crimson Cloak, Lin Qiye walked slowly toward 【Chaos】. As his eyes narrowed slightly, a broken sword fell into his palm.

Originally, 【Chaos】 had been occupying his body, so Lin Qiye had never dared to fight with Ame-no-Murakumo for fear of hurting "himself."

But now, things were different.

Reclaiming control of the hospital, using the pre-prepared "anchor" to ward off corruption, sealing 【Chaos】's four black coffins—His hidden trump cards—and separating His soul from Lin Qiye's body... Most of these moves had been within the Fate Monk's calculations. After these steps were completed, the situation had reached a delicate juncture.

Here, as a "patient," 【Chaos】 could not harm Director Lin;

And Director Lin wielded the Ame-no-Murakumo that could "cut through anything." Not only could it damage 【Chaos】's soul-body, but it would also prevent Him from ever healing... This was the absolute advantage conferred by the rules, an unreasonable tier-suppression!

From this moment, the retribution was just beginning.

Lin Qiye gripped Ame-no-Murakumo. Beneath that bone-deep cold gaze, unprecedented fury and killing intent surged forth!

His figure streaked across the shattered earth. 【Chaos】's expression changed. In an instant, He transformed into the pharaoh image symbolizing destruction. Murky spheres condensed in space, and destructive energy ravaged throughout the entire hospital!

BOOM BOOM BOOM—!!!

Thick beams of light pierced through the void, scorching space and time until it curled. Although 【Chaos】 had lost the hospital and the body, His soul-body still possessed supreme-tier combat power. Any single beam of light here was enough to annihilate the lifeforms of half a continent within half a second.

Everything in the Asylum of the Gods except the patient building was annihilated by the beams. Even the walls and the plaque outside the iron gate turned to dust. In this ashen world, only one patient building drifted alone.

Yet even so, a white figure still broke through the beams unscathed, flashing to 【Chaos】's front!

The broken blade cut open 【Chaos】's surface, sinking deep into His soul-body. Lin Qiye's palm gripped the sword hilt tightly. This was the first time he had been this close to 【Chaos】's face.

In that dazed moment, he once again saw that ferocious face, that leisurely smiling appearance:

【...I've been lurking in the shadows for so many years. What exactly have I been planning... It shouldn't be hard for you to guess, should it? Director Lin?】

【...You've occupied it for far too long, Director Lin... This thing was never meant to belong to you! From this day forward, I, Nyarlathotep, shall be its new master!】

【...I've lurked in this hospital for so long, and I've had my eye on two things. One is this hospital, and the other... Can you guess what it is?】

【...There's one more thing, and it's you...】

Lin Qiye's palm pressed harder. The intense pain made 【Chaos】's mouth corners twitch wildly. He murmured as he spoke:

"Like stealing things, do you?"

Poke—!

The blade was pulled from 【Chaos】's soul-body, then violently stabbed into another spot. Eerie blood seeped from within the soul, gradually staining the blade.

【...Guess?】

【Me? I am, of course, the most great and merciful, selfless, devoted, strongest Western Holy Church leader, Yirande!?】

【...Hahahahahaha... Yes! Yes! Just this expression! Confusion, shock, bewilderment, terror... Magnificent! Simply magnificent!】

【...I laid out my progress in controlling this hospital right before all of you, but you couldn't figure out its meaning... Every time I see that confused look on your faces, it's extremely entertaining!】

【...Wonderful, truly wonderful! In any era, you always give me the best experience! Hahaha...】

"Like playing with people's hearts, do you?!"

Lin Qiye twisted the sword hilt violently, shredding 【Chaos】's body madly. Intense pain flooded 【Chaos】's mind. He stared fixedly at that face before him, endless rage surging in His heart!!

He, one of the three pillar gods of the Cthulhu Faction—when had He ever been humiliated to this degree by a human ant?!

The black pharaoh's chest burst open. A pair of pale arms protruded诡异ly, grabbing Lin Qiye's sword-gripping hands tightly, locking his form in place.

【Chaos】's mouth opened wide, and dense tentacles poured out, directly engulfing Lin Qiye's form. He couldn't harm Lin Qiye, but using this method to trap him was not difficult at all.

Just as 【Chaos】—who had been stabbed several times by Ame-no-Murakumo—had barely caught His breath, a figure suddenly emerged from the night. A gorgeous summoning formation flashed, followed by a blade of light that pierced through 【Chaos】's heart from behind!

His pupils contracted violently!

Only then did He see the second "Lin Qiye" gripping Ame-no-Murakumo, slowly approaching 【Chaos】's ear from behind under the control of the causality threads.

His lips parted slightly, and he said mockingly:

"You did well... child."
