The Great Deceiver Goes Online

"?????"

Ma Baoguo was dumbfounded.

He realized that he couldn't understand what this foolish human was saying.

Sure, he could grasp every single word.

But strung together like that, they left him utterly baffled.

"Hey, NPC bro, don't be so stingy!"

"It's just a quest—giving it to me won't kill you!"

Cannot Eat Peach clung to Ma Baoguo with shameless persistence.

At those words, the previously stunned Ma Baoguo snapped back to attention with a jolt.

That last part he understood.

This foolish human was cursing him to die!

How utterly outrageous!

Ma Baoguo had always considered himself the most magnanimous, benevolent, and righteous of all the new gods.

He never engaged in any racial discrimination—at worst, he looked down on humanity just a tiny bit.

He always kept his word and followed the rules—except he'd bent them just a tiny bit.

A moral paragon among new gods, that was him.

And today, he'd been cursed by a foolish human!

How could this be?

If this could be endured, what couldn't?

Ma Baoguo flew into a rage on the spot.

"Foolish human, you have angered the great Ma Baoguo, Demi-God!"

"You will face divine punishment!"

"My Believers..."

Before Ma Baoguo could finish, Peach across from him suddenly widened his eyes.

His face was a mask of shock.

This guy was Ma Baoguo?

Why did he seem a bit... not too bright?

Could someone like this really be the terrifying Demon Cultivator threatening the very survival of Lingxiao Immortal Palace?

Cannot Eat Peach froze for a moment, then suddenly a look of dawning realization crossed his face.

"Got it!"

"I understand now!"

"This Ma Baoguo must have fried his brain from practicing that Demonic Cultivation Technique!"

"If I can get him... in this Story Event, my contribution might not top the charts, but it'll at least be near the top, hehehe!"

In an instant, a thousand thoughts flashed through Cannot Eat Peach's mind.

The next moment, his face immediately twisted into a fawning expression.

"Great God, calm down, don't be mad!"

"I didn't know who you were just now—if I had..."

"Actually, I've got some secret intel here."

Ma Baoguo, who had been seething with rage, felt an inexplicable surge of delight at the words "Great God," and half his anger dissipated in an instant.

But what really caught his attention were those words: "secret intel."

He glanced sidelong at Peach, a flicker of contempt in his eyes.

"Humans really are the worst trash."

"Ye Yu, oh Ye Yu, you probably don't know your Believers have already abandoned you, hahaha!"

Thinking this, Ma Baoguo first waved his hand, dismissing the Scorpion Lions that were about to tear Peach apart.

Then, putting on a stern face, he barked at Cannot Eat Peach.

"What secret intel? Speak!"

"If you cooperate honestly, this god might show mercy and let you off, or even let you become one of my Believers!"

Ma Baoguo said this with utter confidence.

It wasn't that he was stupid, easily believing Peach's words.

Rather, in the World of Gods, the ingrained image of humans had skewed his judgment.

In Ma Baoguo's eyes, humans were nothing more than ants in animal hides, hunting low-tier beasts!

How could he possibly know that the human before him wasn't a native of the World of Gods, but a Fourth Catastrophe from Earth?

With such an information imbalance, he was naturally easy for Peach to fool.

After all, who would ever think they could be tricked by an ant?

"Yes, yes, yes! Great God, rest assured!"

"I'm here to turn from darkness to light."

"Our... what's his name again?"

Peach grinned cheekily, but when he got to the point, he suddenly couldn't remember his own NPC's name and froze.

Ma Baoguo's eyes lit up at that.

"Could it be Ye Yu?"

"Right, right, right! That's him!"

Peach nodded repeatedly.

Then he kept up the hard sell.

"That Ye Yu—cruel and tyrannical, committing every evil."

"We've suffered so much under him, we'd love to eat his flesh and drink his blood..."

"So, Great God, Ye Yu has long lost the people's support. We can't wait for you to arrive."

Cannot Eat Peach rambled on, spewing nonsense without a hitch.

Ma Baoguo didn't suspect a thing.

Though Ye Yu was a trash god, he was still beyond what those human Believers could handle.

Knowing his Divine Fall was imminent, of course he'd squeeze and exploit his bottom-tier followers, trying to resist Ma Baoguo.

Ma Baoguo felt his reasoning was flawless—reasonable, logical, and sound.

He forced a smile onto his face.

"Good, very good!"

"This god is pleased!"

"So, are you willing to follow this god and crusade against the wicked Ye Yu?"

Ma Baoguo didn't exactly like Cannot Eat Peach.

But he understood the principle of winning people over.

After a moment's thought, he decided to keep Peach by his side.

"Thank you, Great God!"

"Great God, rest assured. I know all of Ye Yu's deployments. I'll make sure you kill him without lifting a finger, ridding the people of a scourge!"

Peach said with a grin.

Hearing this, Ma Baoguo burst into loud laughter.

"Hahaha..."

Even the heavens want me to destroy Ye Yu!

Looks like I, Ma Baoguo, am truly destined by fate!

Thinking this, Ma Baoguo waved his hand with grand spirit.

"Move out!"

In the jungle around Lingxiao Immortal Palace.

A flicker of surprise crossed Ye Nima's face.

"Damn, Peach actually wormed his way into Ma Baoguo's ranks."

"How did he pull that off?"

Just a moment ago, he'd received a private message from Peach.

Cannot Eat Peach had laid out his situation to Ye Nima in detail.

He also suggested that Ye Nima and the others pull back to Lingxiao Immortal Palace and watch his show.

Ye Nima thought it over and decided to go along.

He quietly led the trap squad players and the poison-using King Grey Wolf and his crew back.

Originally, according to Gu Du's plan, the trap squad was supposed to be the first wave of players to hold off Ma Baoguo.

But now that the situation had changed and Peach had already infiltrated the enemy, they couldn't just blindly follow the old plan anymore.

Not long after Ye Nima and his group had withdrawn, rustling sounds came from the jungle, and one Scorpion Lion after another emerged from the underbrush.

At the same time, Ma Baoguo and Taozi's voices carried over.

"Human, why must we take the ground instead of the air? My Believers can fly, can they not?" Ma Baoguo's words carried a hint of puzzlement.

Taozi chuckled at that. "Great God, you don't understand. This time we're playing Blitzkrieg—in other words, a sneak attack! If we flew through the air, Ye Yu isn't blind—how could he miss us? That would ruin the whole point of Blitzkrieg, don't you think?"

Hearing this, Ma Baoguo nodded. He felt that this foolish human's words weren't entirely without reason.

Just as the two were speaking, the Scorpion Lions leading the way ahead stepped right into the traps Ye Nima and his people had dug.
