After Admitting The Wrong God They Regret It - Chapter 78

Although he couldn’t do anything, the light on the fragment kept flickering.

It seemed both triumphant and mocking.

The fragment, which had been indifferent to all their actions in the past, reacted strongly after the demons had breached their space, making one think more than usual.

“Your Majesty.”

One of the researchers couldn’t help but glance at the fragment, his face darkening.

The side of Feng Yu’s face was illuminated intermittently by the pale golden light. He remained indifferent, as if he didn’t notice the fragment’s movements.

He lowered his eyes and opened a light screen beside him, his fingers swiftly tapping and operating on it.

“Don’t rush. Xinghui didn’t make it here so easily.”

Even if Xinghui found the entrance now, he had only breached the outermost barrier. The generations of their ancestors had invested untold effort in setting up layers of defenses, including numerous traps designed for situations like this. Additionally, their power could summon storms, allowing them to potentially cast Xinghui into the current storm’s location. Although this carried some risk and might delay their purification process, if they could deal with Xinghui, they’d still have ample time to prepare for the next evolution.

“You all go and prepare.”

The light screen in Feng Yu’s hands turned red. He looked up and spoke to the other merfolk.

The other merfolk had more to say but were quickly pulled aside by their companions, who shook their heads and led them away.

The defensive systems of the merfolk’s research facility were activated.

The building began to sink to avoid the demons’ ship bombardments, and the windows were gradually covered with protective metal materials.

Their location was not on the top floor. As the building sank, the last glimpse through the windows showed—

A simulated sky with a tear exposing the dazzling stars. Small demon ships quickly entered, followed by large ships squeezing through the gap.

Once inside, it felt as if they occupied most of the sky.

This extreme sense of oppression made all the merfolk silently wait for the building to sink, watching until the special metal material enveloped the entire building in the last second.

“The demons are truly the only race that can make me feel such oppression.”

When the building was completely engulfed in darkness, the lights overhead flickered on, transforming the research room, which had seemed like a bright sunny workplace, into an underground facility in an instant.

“The demons don’t play by the rules and seem to be thinking about who knows what. It’s normal that we don’t understand them. The abyssal gods also didn’t understand them and, due to their instability and previous incidents, simply expelled them.”

Another merfolk spoke up.

“This does give off the oppressive feeling from the pictures we studied as children. But it’s strange how history always seems to reverse itself. Previously, the gods protected the entire alliance and disliked the demons. Now, it has become only protecting the demons and a few small races. This god, as you said, is indeed peculiar.”

“Gods are all the same,” another person said coldly, pulling back their gaze after the metal covered the windows. “They only care about things that benefit them. After all, they always thought that even with faith, it’s just charity from them, and we should be grateful. Xinghui merely switched from the alliance to the demons. The fragments inside are not gods but incomplete shards. Isn’t it a bit excessive?”

“What can you do? The subsequent plans still require the fragments. You know that, right? This time, we birthed twin gods. We originally just wanted to summon storms and destroy divine faith to weaken the storm and meet the evolution conditions. Although Xinghui’s power has increased, according to the research on the conservation of storm power and abyssal god power, even if we shatter Xinghui, we still need the fragments. Besides, capturing him for research is quite normal.”

“Let’s hope so.”

The merfolk spoke softly, glancing back at the room.

The door was securely closed, and they could no longer see the state of the divine fragment inside.

Overall, since the golden divine fragment had been shattered and Feng Yu had been researching most of the fragments, this fragment had spent the most time with Feng Yu. It seemed that if one chose a path completely different from the gods and the abyss, one should be prepared to follow that path to the end. But Feng Yu was often too soft-hearted.

“Moving quite quickly.”

When Xinghui’s small spacecraft emerged from the tear, the building had already begun to sink rapidly and was covered with a material resistant to energy cannons.

By the time the spaceship landed, the building had already retracted underground.

Yuanyuan looked down and tapped the ground twice.

“What kind of merfolk are these? They might as well be called the turtle tribe.”

They had found it.

But clearly, this was the enemy’s home turf, a research facility. If they wanted to retreat, they couldn’t do much right now.

“The surrounding materials are made from that special material we just saw. Violence can’t break through it.”

Xinghui observed the surroundings with his eyes open. To him, various forms of mental energy left traces in the air.

“There might be a place to get inside if it’s their mental energy switch. We should find a way to destroy it to locate the entrance, but once inside, we might have to proceed layer by layer. We’re not sure what they’ve done.”

After all, the merfolk were so mad they could even use storms.

The divine fragment swayed gently next to Xinghui, seemingly deep in thought.

Xinghui glanced over and extended his hand, lightly touching the divine fragment.

Using storms to shatter newly born divine beings into fragments and collecting so many for experiments.

And that’s just for this time. It’s unknown what the merfolk did with divine fragments before. The more he thought about it, the more dangerous this race seemed.

The merfolk had researched for so long, and they might understand divine beings even better than they did.

Xinghui narrowed his eyes, and the divine fragment suddenly flew from his fingertip.

Under everyone’s watch, the divine fragment quickly flew to a corner, its light flickering faster.

“I wasn’t wrong. The other fragments must be in the merfolk’s hands.”

Xinghui and Yuanyuan quickly walked to the divine fragment’s side, watching as the fragment gradually opened a gap.

“This is resonance.”
