Chapter 330 Did the Gluttons scare away the Cleaners? The other entities were shocked! (Part 2)
Garlic City, city wall.
Between the square battlements, Xia Fa, whose body was blurred to the extreme and whose body was covered with faint chaotic wisps of lightning and blazing golden-white flames, stood still, displaying an imposing and majestic aura.
In reality, he was extremely panicked.
This plan, in a sense, involves a great deal of risk.
Although, if all else fails, I can immediately teleport back to the small world.
However, there is still a certain probability that it will be swallowed up by the wall of flesh and blood, after all, it is a physical entity, the most bizarre existence in this world.
Moreover, if the plan fails, all ten million innocent residents of Garlic City will perish in the belly of the wall of flesh and blood.
Last time, the reason I was able to scare away the Wall of Flesh was partly due to my reputation; at the time, the entire universe thought that the Glutton was on the same level of strength as the Bard and the Storyteller.
On the other hand, when I transform into a glutton, I seem to be able to eat a lot of strange things that I normally can't chew, such as this wall of flesh and blood.
However, this time, if the Wall of Flesh and Blood reacts, or if it becomes enraged and insists on attacking him, even though he knows he can't defeat a physical being, Xia Fa will not hesitate, no matter how flustered he is, since he has already chosen to make a move.
With a thought, he prepared to teleport directly to the wall of flesh and blood according to the plan.
"Your Excellency the Glutton! Your Excellency the Glutton!"
An excited shout came from the base of the walls of Garlic City, startling Xia Fa.
That voice—why does it sound somewhat familiar?
Standing atop the city wall, he had an unobstructed view, and with his intuitive senses, he immediately spotted a very familiar figure just by looking down.
It was the legendary physical "Frenzied Tomb Raider" who had just broken through the Ancient Mithril Gate with him not long ago!
Xia Fa had a deep impression of the methods the fanatical tomb raiders used to destroy the Ancient Mithril Gate. Therefore, among the many entities of the Entity Redemption Society, his memory of the fanatical tomb raiders was relatively profound.
Moreover, it is said that fanatical tomb raiders love to go to the Protoss Realm to steal the great tombs of the Outer Gods and the Gods, which often contain countless rare treasures, especially the sacred metals and divine blood fruits or ancient fruits that they desperately need.
Xia Fa had previously considered that since he had already joined the Physical Redemption Society, he might ask the fanatical tomb raider to mentor a junior member under the name of "Gluttony" and have him take him to raid the tombs of Outer Gods.
But, to everyone's surprise, a fanatical tomb raider would actually appear here?
What a coincidence!
Although the voice of the fanatical tomb raider was not loud, there was no doubt that not only Xia Fa heard it, but the Wall of Flesh and Blood also heard it.
In fact, the wall of flesh and blood has so many eyes of all sizes, with all kinds of pupil colors and shapes. It saw them the moment the Glutton appeared.
But before it could react, it spotted the fanatical tomb raider not far from the base of the wall, who then greeted the glutton with great enthusiasm and excitement.
Almost immediately, the fanatical tomb raider shouted, "Your Excellency Glutton, that piece of trash called the Wall of Flesh is going to devour all the extraordinary beings on this Spice Planet! The House of Imagination is here too, be careful!"
Who are you calling trash?
The Wall of Flesh and Blood was suddenly enraged, remembering its grudge against the fanatical tomb raiders.
If the glutton was not there, it would have attacked immediately.
Although, with its current strength, it would be difficult to kill a fanatical tomb raider in physical form, but if it summoned the Gold Cleaners, or the fake Nine Great Gods—
"The House of Imagination has arrived too?"
Xia Fa was shocked. He never expected that it was two notorious entities acting together.
Legend has it that the House of Imagination is far stronger than the Wall of Flesh and Blood, and its methods are extremely bizarre, making it easy to fall victim to it without even realizing it.
"What should we do then?!"
Since the House of Imagination is here, my previous plan is no longer valid. Fortunately, I haven't started taking action yet.
However, the fanatical tomb raiders from the Physical Redemption Society also arrived, essentially joining their side, which made Xia Fa feel that there was still hope.
Just then, the massive, slowly moving wall of flesh and blood that was approaching them suddenly stopped, and countless eyes turned to look at the fanatical tomb raiders below the city wall.
At the same time, the influence of its "hunger" rule on reality also immediately subsided.
In Garlic City, the residents who were frantically devouring everything edible around them immediately stopped. Some were howling in pain, clutching their stomachs as their stomachs ruptured, while others, still wanting more, dared not eat any more.
The vast majority of people, having only recently encountered the wall of flesh and blood, hadn't eaten much and were simply standing there blankly, still holding raw meat or flour in their hands, their faces full of bewilderment.
Xia Fa also felt the disappearance of this hunger rule. To be honest, he was almost at his limit before. He felt that the figure of the wall of flesh and blood overlapped with a huge, fragrant meat pie in his eyes, changing back and forth.
But now, with the rules of hunger gone, what lies before us has transformed into a scorching, scorching desert, and a wall of flesh and blood that appears to be a colossal wall ten thousand meters long, formed from countless intertwined flesh, organs, and limbs.
At that moment, hundreds and thousands of mouths of various monsters on the wall of flesh opened simultaneously.
It emitted a mixed sound, which was extremely mesmerizing, as if men, women, the elderly, children, angels, demons, and so on were talking together.
"You fanatical tomb raider, don't think you can swagger around just because you've climbed up to the Gluttons. Do you know that in my eyes, you've always been nothing but a laughable insect?"
Based on this sentence alone, Xia Fa immediately understood that the Wall of Flesh and Blood and the fanatical tomb raiders seemed to have a deep grudge.
Could this be the reason why these fanatical tomb raiders came here?
Seeing this, the fanatical tomb raider casually slung his pickaxe over his shoulder, his face revealing a mocking and contemptuous expression: "Oh? Where does your confidence come from? Just because you've sided with the Cleaners?"
Xia Fa had heard about the fact that entities like the Wall of Flesh and Blood had sided with the Cleaners, so he wasn't particularly surprised.
However, I felt it was very stupid.
Others might not know, but he personally witnessed the Bronze Cleanser completely ignoring the mages of Arcane City in the Land of Time Stagnation, focusing solely on annihilating the superhumans.
In this situation, any being with supernatural powers will likely be eliminated by the Cleansers. What's the point of surrendering to them? They'll die sooner or later anyway.
Upon hearing this, the Wall of Flesh retorted simultaneously with hundreds and thousands of mouths of various monsters: "So what if it is? This is the wisest decision I could make. As for you, I don't know what you're insisting on, daring to refuse the recruitment of the Golden Cleaners."
The fanatical tomb raider sighed and shook his head: "You don't really think that after we beings tainted with extraordinary power are cleansed by the Cleaners, they'll actually 'purify' you, do you? Besides, even if you were truly purified, would you still have your current strength?"
Purification?
Xia Fa was startled. Clearly, the Wall of Flesh and the fanatical tomb raiders both assumed that he, as a "Glutton," knew these things, so they didn't hide or avoid anything and were just arguing.
But I really didn't know that before.
"In other words, the reason why those fake Nine True Gods and the flesh and blood wall and other entities chose to join the Cleaners is because they might survive, as long as they accept being purified."
'
Xia Fa's eyes flashed, and he suddenly understood why some extraordinary beings would choose to join the Cleaners.
Although he also felt that it was most likely a scam, for some beings, as long as there was hope of survival, and given that they were facing such a powerful Golden Cleanser with the status of a true god, they had no choice but to try and submit to him.
In particular, there are now more than thirty Golden Cleaners who have been awakened, and according to the Golden Giant Axe Cleaner, the majority are still asleep.
The true number of the Gold Cleaners—it's enough to send chills down your spine.
Before this, there were only nine true gods in the entire universe, including the Protoss Realm, not counting the Great Old Ones who were wiped out.
And the number of gold cleaners is suspected to be countless.
In this situation, it seems reasonable for some extraordinary beings who are in despair to choose to join the Cleaners' camp with a glimmer of hope, hoping to survive after being purified.
However, based on the information and clues obtained from various sources, Xia Fa firmly believed that this was most likely a scam, and in any case, he would definitely not choose to join them.
Moreover, now only those at the level of gods and above can probably catch the eyes of the Cleaners. Everyone else will be eliminated. If I surrender, what will happen to my parents, great-grandfather, Chestnut Beneath Meowkor, and my cousins Tefaro?
At this moment, the wall of flesh and blood simultaneously let out countless cold laughs. Because there were too many mouths, it continued to emit that strange, mixed sound, saying, "Come on, it's your choice not to surrender, and it's my choice to surrender. Once the Golden Cleansers have freed up their hands to wipe you out, it will be too late to regret it then, hahaha!"
The fanatical tomb raider wore a peculiar expression, as if he were looking at a stubborn fool, yet he didn't want the fool to truly wake up, because he had a grudge against him.
The fanatical tomb raider casually put down the pickaxe he was carrying on his shoulder, and his tone turned cold: "Since that's the case, there's nothing more to say. With Lord Glutton here, I don't even need to lift a finger to deal with the two of you."
""
Hey, hey, hey, how did you get dragged into this?!
Xia Fa panicked completely. Did this fanatical tomb raider want to see him fight two against one?
Perhaps, in the eyes of a fanatical tomb raider, his rash move would only displease him, much like a general in full armor facing two unarmed soldiers; if the lieutenant were to rush forward, it would only spoil the general's mood.
But to everyone's surprise, no sooner had the fanatical tomb raider finished speaking than... *pop! pop! pop!*
A strange sound rang out, and around the wall of flesh, three extremely sinister creatures suddenly appeared in the positions of "Mist Eagle," "Yellow Eye," and "Nine Fish" in astrology.
These three evil creatures are a beautiful golden mask, a lifelike platinum scarab beetle, and a clay doll with fierce-looking eyebrows, all of which are filled with resentment.
Three evil creatures, vaguely forming a triangle, instantly surrounded the wall of flesh and blood.
Buzz!
A sinister, pale green light, like waves, immediately emanated from the evil creature, threatening to engulf the wall of flesh and blood in an instant.
Along the way, the desert underwent extremely strange changes. Tombstones rose up one after another, countless mutilated skeletons covered in soil appeared, and a large number of burial objects and phantom mechanisms emerged.
The massive, mountain-like wall of flesh trembled and began to transform into the shape of a tombstone. However, its strength was not much less than that of the fanatical tomb raider, and it quickly withstood the transformation.
Xia Fa was stunned. In a sense, this was the first time he had ever witnessed a battle between physical entities. It was like the work of gods, yet it was also incredibly sinister.
"Your Excellency the Glutton!"
The fanatical tomb raider shouted. In the heat of battle, there was no time for much verbal communication, but his meaning was clear: he had subdued the wall of flesh and blood, and Lord Gluttony should seize the opportunity to make his move.
Since he was already acting, he naturally had to make it as realistic as possible and go all out. Xia Fa didn't hesitate for long and was about to teleport over to start gnawing on the wall of flesh.
At the same time, he also understood why the fanatical tomb raiders had argued so much with the Wall of Flesh and Blood. Their real purpose was to buy time so they could secretly lay down these three evil objects.
Suddenly, the wall of flesh shuddered, and countless fleshy tentacles flew out, like an overwhelming net of flesh and blood, which immediately blocked the invasion of the ghastly green light, as if it had gained a few breaths to catch its breath.
Its eyes looked down at a three-story building in the city.
"The house of dreams is not ready yet."
Before the last "幺" could be uttered, its massive, ten-thousand-meter-long wall of flesh and blood began to show signs of transforming into a tombstone once again.
However, these words startled both Xia Fa and the fanatical tomb raider.
It seems that not only are the fanatical tomb raiders using the argument to buy time with the Wall of Flesh, but the Wall of Flesh is also planning the same thing.
Just then, a mechanical voice, seemingly coming from a telegraph machine, came from above Garlic City.
"Don't worry, everything is ready."
An extremely old house appeared in the sky, its two brown, frosted glass windows like two eyes looking towards the city wall, even having the leisure to greet it.
"Your Excellency the Glutton, I have long admired your name."
The voice of the House of Imagination, though emanating from the telegraph machine, was polite and unhurried, like that of a well-mannered gentleman, as if everything was under its control.
Even when facing the Glutton, who ranks among the top three in the physical world and is on par with the bard and the storyteller, it seemed utterly unafraid.
The next moment, the House of Imagination suddenly blurred, transforming from an old, brown building into—an ancient military camp!
The ancient military camp was unimaginably large, measuring tens of millions of meters in length, height, and width. It was so vast that it blocked out the sun, plunging both the desert and Garlic City into darkness.
Immediately afterwards, the gates of the barracks opened, and three Silver Cleaners, each leading over a hundred Bronze Cleaners, rode out in orderly formation.
Da da da! Da da da!
The sound of galloping hooves filled the air, and the desert seemed to instantly transform into a brutal ancient battlefield.
The three Silver Cleaners, armed with spears, broadswords, and halberds respectively, each held high, leading hundreds of Bronze Cleaners behind them as they thundered down from the sky, charging towards Xiafa on the city wall!
The House of Imagination returned to its original state, and the sunlight shone down again, filling the once unbearably hot desert with a desolate atmosphere.
This was the first time Xia Fa had ever seen so many Cleaners. Although there were no Gold Cleaners, there were three Silver Cleaners, each leading a hundred Bronze Cleaners.
Such a display of force signifies only one thing.
This is a war, a war between the Cleaners and the supernatural!
Now, it's taking shape!
From the very beginning, this was undoubtedly a war that would sweep across the entire universe and the Protoss realm. However, since the worst of the Cleaners were all of godhood, there was no need to deploy such an army of Cleaners in the Land of Stagnation and the Old Forge.
Now, the challenge is to deal with the "Gluttons," the top three Gluttons in the physical world. Therefore, the Cleaners have adopted a war-like posture, assembled their army, and launched a strangulation-like offensive!
Faced with the overwhelming army of cleansers charging down from the sky, and each cleanser being a terrifying figure as large as a mountain, the fanatical tomb raider's face turned pale instantly, but his eyes remained relatively calm.
As for the wall of flesh, the hundreds or thousands of monsters' eyes revealed a smug look, as if they had already foreseen the glutton and the fanatical tomb raider's double demise.
Xia Fa's mind raced, countless countermeasures flashing through his mind, but all of them were rejected one by one.
Although three Silver Cleaners, not Gold Cleaners, came, I could still use my ability to "randomly freeload" and teleport back at any time.
However, this would likely destroy both the innocent residents of Garlic City and the entire Spice Star.
That's right, this usually leisurely little town is called Garlic City because the residents love to eat noodles and they eat everything with garlic.
The residents of the city could not see the Silver Cleaner and Bronze Cleaner charging down the mountain; they could only faintly hear the thunderous sound of hooves in the air.
In fact, because no one dared to approach the city walls, no one could even see the figure of the Glutton in the form of Xiafa.
Of course, Xia Fa did it on purpose; the battlement he was standing on had an arrow tower behind it, which conveniently concealed his figure.
Otherwise, if the wall of flesh and blood could really be forced back, the residents of Garlic City would have to worship the Gluttons again, which would be detrimental to their true selves establishing a faith here in the future.
As the army led by the three Silver Cleaners charged closer and closer, Xia Fa suddenly noticed that the Silver Cleaner at the forefront had reined in his horse, raised his right hand, and made a gesture to stop the charge.
The team behind it was so disciplined that they all stopped in their tracks.
The other two Silver Cleaners immediately stopped their charge and looked at the first Silver Cleaner with a puzzled expression.
Because they were closer, Xia Fa then noticed that some of the patterns on the silver armor of the first Silver Cleanser, which was covered with ancient gray patterns, were faintly tinged with gold.
The other two Silver Cleaners did not.
Clearly, this first Silver Cleaner is the strongest Cleaner present. However, it remains to be seen whether his strength is limited to this level or whether he can evolve into a Gold Cleaner.
The silver-clad cleaner focused its gaze on Xia Fa, and almost instantly, it seemed to have made a judgment.
That's why its voice trembled.
"—Celestial Venerable? No, about to transform into a Celestial Venerable?"
The moment the words were spoken, with a "whoosh," the air above Garlic City was instantly frozen.
The Silver Cleaners at the head of the group turned their horses around without hesitation and charged into the void rift that had appeared behind them.
Strangely, the moment it fled, the hundreds of bronze cleaners that followed it also vanished instantly.
"Is he about to transform into a Celestial Venerable?"
"A second entity capable of reaching the rank of Celestial Venerable?"
The remaining two Silver Cleaners exclaimed in astonishment. Then, without even exchanging many words, they simultaneously chose to freeze space and time, and took this opportunity to rush into the void rift, leading their Bronze Cleaners away.
The grim scene that had resembled a battlefield vanished without a trace in an instant, and the sunlight shone down again, the sky never having been so blue and clean.
"He's about to become a Celestial Venerable? This—how is this possible?!"
The Wall of Flesh and Blood murmured in utter terror, its voice trembling like a sieve. One of its eyes peeked at the sky, only to find that the House of Imagination had already fled, faster than anyone else.
It seems that the House of Imagination had already escaped using its own rules the moment the first Silver Cleaner uttered the words "Celestial Venerable".
"Hahahaha, a wall of flesh and blood! Didn't expect that, did you? You, Glutton, are almost a Celestial Venerable! You'll soon be comparable to the number one in the physical rankings, the one who doesn't even need an anchor point! Let's see how you escape now!"
The fanatical tomb raider then burst into loud laughter, his lips still pale, yet his laughter was somewhat out of control.
There was no other way. Just now, it was clearly a certain death. He was surrounded by three Silver Cleaners and three hundred Bronze Cleaners. Even if he was a physical being, he would be held back. Then, it would probably be long before the Gold Cleaners arrived and killed him completely.
But to everyone's surprise, the changes that appeared on Lord Gluttony's body—that is, the thin strands of chaotic current and the blazing golden-white flames—actually meant that he was transforming into a Celestial Venerable!
In this situation, let alone the Silver Cleaners running away, even the fanatical tomb raiders themselves would be scared and run away immediately if they weren't all members of the Physical Redemption Society.
The Celestial Venerables are beings who can truly be called "close to the rank of a true god." Each one is incredibly powerful and mysterious, far beyond what the outer gods can provoke.
"What exactly is a Celestial Venerable?"
Xia Fa murmured to himself, finding it rather strange, but seeing that the disaster was over, he naturally wouldn't linger any longer.
With a "whoosh" sound, like an electric current, his extremely blurry figure instantly teleported to the wall of flesh and blood, and without hesitation, he grabbed it and prepared to start biting.
Just then, a loud "crack" sounded, like flesh being torn apart. The wall of flesh and blood had actually sacrificed a piece of flesh the size of a house to survive.
The rest of its body exploded into a bloody mist, and it immediately burrowed into the loose sand.
"They actually used such a physical secret technique—this will make them much harder to catch."
The fanatical tomb raider sighed, turned his head, and looked at the Glutton, who was about to devour the house-sized mass of flesh left behind by the wall of flesh.
For some reason, even though they were all members of the Physical Redemption Society, watching Lord Glutton actually about to devour the flesh of the Wall of Flesh still sent a chill down his spine. However, he still forced a smile and said, "Lord Glutton, we have severely injured this Wall of Flesh, forcing it to use that physical secret technique to escape. This time, it really needs to hide and recover for a while, hahaha."
Xia Fa's original idea was to gnaw off at least several tens of square meters of flesh from the wall of flesh, just like last time, when he gnawed off a wall-sized portion of flesh from the wall of flesh.
But unexpectedly, this time, the wall of flesh and blood actually left behind a piece of flesh the size of a house on the desert!
This is more than ten times more than last time!
Since that's the case, it seems unnecessary to gnaw on it; it's more appropriate to put it away and eat it slowly.
However, I don't know if it can be put into the black bag.
Just then, the fanatical tomb raider spoke up, his expression a mixture of gratitude and flattery. He handed over a beautifully patterned but mud-covered bronze box: "Your Excellency Glutton, although you are about to transform into a Celestial Venerable, this Wall of Flesh and Blood is extremely malevolent. Moreover, it has sided with the Cleaners. Use this little thing to store its flesh. It's from the tomb of a quasi-Celestial Venerable I raided before. You can take it out and eat it when needed. It's absolutely safe and you won't be tracked down."
You dare to rob the tomb of a Quasi-Celestial Venerable?
Xia Fa was surprised, but he didn't show it. He simply reached out and took the bronze box, which he needed just in time. At the same time, he spoke in a voice that sounded like a distorted electric current, "You're too kind."
The fanatical tomb raider rubbed his hands together and gave a rather awkward smile: "We're all from the Physical Redemption Society, why are you saying this? By the way, Lord Glutton, could I ask you for a favor? Don't worry, it will definitely be in your best interest!"
