Surviving The Fourth Calamity

Chapter 1658 - 236: Triton’s Retreat

"Did the Road Eunuch have a Little Cyan Orchid on his tongue?" ’Cunlü’ asked with a bewildered look, observing the battle scene from the side cliff.

"Does that flower mean anything?" ’Universal Sky Net,’ who knew his mistress very well, asked curiously.

"Elegance and innocence, ideal for a lively girl," ’Hard Wind’ said with difficulty.

"Although it seems wrong somewhere, it... has some connection," ’Universal Sky Net’ muttered, recalling the days and nights of arguments between Ambori and their Baldy Chieftain, "as lively as Baldy Lolita."

Humans are truly visual creatures.

Back then, Ambori’s body was only half, with a head full of messy seaweed, a body covered with a chaotic mix of shells, and a fierce expression. The most striking features were her two rapidly waving arms and those ten long, sharp claws.

Seeing her, one would probably have the first reaction of an Abyssal Evil God, needing careful guarding and cautious avoidance.

Now, to not hinder the battle, Ambori wore a tight-fitting gown with a high slit on the left, revealing a long leg at times.

Long seaweed was still present but tied around her legs like black straps... At her feet were black polka-dot snake-shaped sandals.

The Road Eunuch truly understood human nature.

Tall Ambori, perhaps the only thing to remember firmly was not to laugh aloud while killing, and not to bend her waist to the point of folding... Several times, those on the cliff saw the goddess straighten up immediately, as if receiving a signal, when bending past 45 degrees.

To ensure this, Ambori was careful about her distance from the enemy to avoid getting too close, which would make grabs inconvenient.

Thus, her movements appeared rhythmic... Striking like lightning, gently stretching while seeking the enemy.

Along with waist-length hair pinned with shell clips... It seemed the Road Eunuch even considered this, or perhaps learned some tricks from certain singing and dancing stars, though the movements were large, and the nearby wind strong, that long hair remained fluffy and smooth.

Ambori couldn’t, like those Goddesses of Love and Beauty, use Divine Power to always keep her hair in its best state.

’Lu Huayu,’ as reassuring as he was, couldn’t make her go against her nature and the chaos and desires brought by divinity.

The fact that she could maintain a normal form was already astonishing... Every drop of Divine Power was used to enhance her strength; that was Ambori’s true nature.

But ’Lu Huayu’ could help by setting basic rules for these Divine Power-enhanced shells.

Not everyone might see it, but ’Cunlü’ and ’Hard Wind,’ with some ties to the entertainment industry, immediately noticed the role these shells played.

Several points in line could be used to an extreme extent; an immature hairdresser couldn’t achieve such a refined result!

"Ah... Actually, if the Road Eunuch wanted, he could be an excellent makeup artist!" ’Cunlü’ couldn’t help but sigh, "This is Ambori, the real Ambori!

Oh my~ Just thinking about her confrontation with Baldy still feels vivid!

Truly... frightening control; using eunuch to describe him seems out of step, only those Dowager Consorts ruling behind the curtain would match the intensity!

If the people and gods of Toril saw her like this, their eyes would pop out!"

Whether those eyes fell to the ground was unknown, but anyway, those from the Black Rose who participated in the Path of Destiny couldn’t help but feel somewhat dazed.

Even some warriors charging amidst the enemies accidentally misdirected their skills, needing a bit of rest.

’Snow Cloud Peak’ on the middle cliff also noticed the sudden personnel shortage in the Black Rose Family, so he yelled unhappily, "Perfect Baldy, what are you Black Roses doing?

Can you handle it?

Can you speak up!"

’Susu’ picked up the tablet, speaking calmly, "Old Dog, news from the Elder. She said it was just a small matter, they have arrangements.

They are already accustomed to seeing an elegant Ambori, no problems will arise."

Hill turned his head in another direction: Even though he was considered knowledgeable, seeing such an Ambori, he occasionally found himself in awe, which was normal for the Black Rose members.

The people of Doomsday might be more familiar with Ambori, but no one knew her nature better than the Black Roses... The people of Doomsday saw the version of Ambori who talked with ’Lu Huayu’ for days and nights on the island.

"Hill," ’Snow Cloud Peak’ asked hesitantly, "Rose won’t harm Aesces, right?"

Hill blinked, only then realizing his implication: This Commander probably planned to use Rose’s influence against someone.

But he was also worried that if his intervention caused unexpected issues for Aesces, who could control Rose’s destructive power... If it were William up there, he surely wouldn’t worry.

Hill hesitated for a few seconds, then asked, "Who do you want to deal with?"

"Aren’t the Black and White Path heading to the desert!" ’Snow Cloud Peak’ said with some hesitation, "Something seems off about that Luciella.

I want to expose her or try to get her to lure out the one who’s been lurking at Ismael Manor.

But if we do this, Ismael Manor probably won’t be preserved, so I don’t know if it’ll work."

Hill tilted his head and pondered for a while: "Whatever you do with Ismael Manor doesn’t matter.

The last time Ismael arranged for the Moon Clan, he sent all his children away. Although there were many changes later, he never let those people come home."

"That’s because he needed to protect the King of Danboro and was in conflict with other families, so he was worried those people would be killed on their way home.

Staying in most people’s sight is the safest." Lucimar interjected, "In that manor, as long as my father is not there, the other women choose to go back to their small villas outside the city to live.

After all, my father handed over the authority of the hostess to that woman."

Hill couldn’t guess what method ’Snow Cloud Peak’ planned to use to blow up a magic manor covered with defense and isolation formations, but could somehow associate it with mutated silk spiders.

He decided to clarify the matter a bit more, lest this commander be constrained in action.

Hill said very straightforwardly: "Rose is the Abyssal Evil God.

Gaia, even if she has left Hell, once belonged there.

Don’t be fooled by Rose’s connection with some Grand Dukes of Hell, the aura of Hell and the Abyss are incompatible.

The reason Rose only wants to deal with Gaia and hasn’t considered dragging Aesces into her Spider Magic Net is because trying to suppress both Aesces and Gaia’s blockade on the Abyss would be too troublesome.

She wouldn’t do something so thankless."

’Snow Cloud Peak’ grinned: "That’s good."

Then he looked at Lucimar: "So, Mr. Lucimar, can you give us a list?

That lady couldn’t have tampered with every woman in the Magic Tower, could she?"

Lucimar pursed his lips: "Although the people I’ve found are certainly problematic, there are some I haven’t encountered, which is possible."

’Snow Cloud Peak’ smiled and said: "It’s okay, we only need a few people.

Preferably those who often meet with that lady."

"No problem." Lucimar quickly replied, "Even Lucy has to go back once a year.

That woman is very cautious, she has to ensure her tampering is sufficiently concealed... If the soul blockage isn’t reinforced every three years, these mages strong in Soul Power might experience soul tremors, so she didn’t control many people.

But I’ve only seen one person showing this behavior over the years, who was eliminated as a traitor... that is, well, made people think that female mage fell for the Great Sage Ismael and tried to harm me.

Most people actually think they are vying for the rightful power of a beleaguered legal wife, so those women behave dominantly.

Even those like Lucy, who are forcibly controlled, have been specially trained since childhood and believe their actions come from within themselves.

So, even if we want to use some means to wake them up, it won’t work.

That woman’s reaction is also very quick."

"Heh heh~ Don’t worry!

In playing psychological warfare, we are the professionals." ’Snow Cloud Peak’ scoffed disdainfully, "We don’t even need the Road Eunuch to act.

Moreover, don’t forget the influence of Silk Spider Toxin! It’s perfect for dealing with these people who already have mental vulnerabilities."

Hill glanced at the battle on the sea surface.

After Ambori personally joined the battle, Scaret’s giant ships quickly retreated some distance, and the huge Triton statue on the Eye of the Ocean island remained inactive.

Which means, Triton decided to leave worldly disputes between the Undead Tribe and the Moon Clan and had no intention of confronting Ambori personally.

So, Cain Valley’s seemingly perilous battle also seemed to pass.

The negotiations between Aesces and Triton seemed quite successful.

That also means Triton gave up the full control over this world’s oceans.

Given the usual domineering style of the Poseidon Pantheon, his tolerance is really incredible... Clearly, compared to the maritime sovereignty of a new world, Triton is more eager to see Gaia fail.

Why?

Does Gaia truly have some way to resurrect her beloved son Cronos?

Hill focused his gaze on Lucimar.
