The Demon Empress's face grew even darker. She stared intently at Tang San, her eyes burning with rage that seemed to consume him.
Tang San's words, though simple, revealed an undeniable fact: he had been defeated by Yu Longyue, and utterly powerless to retaliate.
This was undoubtedly a huge blow to the proud Demon Empress.
"What did you say?!"
The Demon Empress's voice rose eight octaves, and she could hardly believe her ears.
The Blood River God-Slaying Array was their last trump card, the key to their comeback, but now, this trump card has been destroyed by Yu Longyue.
Tang San shrugged helplessly and repeated:
"I said, I can't beat Yu Longyue, it's a very simple fact, isn't it?"
"Why should I stay in the formation and fight to the death against an enemy who is no match for me? I don't want to lose my life because of it."
"To know you are no match for them, yet still rush forward to fight to the death—is that foolish, or the most foolish thing to do?"
Tang San said calmly.
"As for passion? Sorry, I'm way past that age, and besides, passion is an extremely foolish trait."
"You bastard!"
The Demon Empress's rage nearly set the entire room ablaze. Her eyes seemed to spit fire as she stared intently at Tang San, as if she wanted to burn him to ashes.
Her delicate body trembled slightly with anger, her hands clenched into fists, her knuckles turning pale from the force.
"You possess such a vast amount of Plane Power, and combined with the strength you've displayed before, you completely possess the combat power of True God Level. And you actually tell me you can't defeat Yu Longyue?!"
The Demon Empress's words were filled with anger and distrust.
"I'm just stating the facts." Tang San glanced at him. "Besides, I'm only Level 98 now. So what if I have the Plane Power? Could I possibly defeat Yu Longyue? Moreover, Yu Longyue is Plane Master... How am I supposed to be his opponent?"
"I'm already being generous by giving you three days, and now you're questioning me instead? You're as stupid as a pig." Tang San curled his lip.
The Demon Empress's face turned from gloomy to ashen, her anger reaching its peak. In her eyes, Tang San not only failed to complete his assigned task, but also shamelessly made excuses for his failure.
"How dare you speak to me like that!" The Demon Empress's voice rose eight octaves, and the pressure of True God Level instantly enveloped Tang San. He stretched out his large hand and grabbed at Tang San.
Tang San's expression changed slightly, and he immediately retreated sharply.
The Sage Emperor glanced at the Devil Emperor beside him, and the Devil Emperor instantly understood, stepping in front of Tang San to shield him.
"Enough! What's the point of arguing? It's all over. What's the use of arguing here?" Sage Emperor stood with his hands behind his back, slowly stepped forward, and finally stopped this pointless farce.
"Saying all this is useless now. The war is over, and everyone can be a Monday morning quarterback. If you had been this smart before the war, would you have lost?"
The Demon Empress snorted coldly:
"Then tell me, what should we do?"
"We only have four True God Level beings left on our side. Yun Ming alone is enough to kill us."
"That is indeed a problem. Right now, Yun Ming is a god with God Position, and we cannot contend with him." Sage Emperor was also somewhat at a loss after hearing this problem.
Faced with absolute individual strength, all tactics are futile.
Just then, Tang San's words fell into everyone's ears:
"That's easy. As long as I become a god, that'll solve everything, right?"
"Once I become a god, why should I even bother with the insignificant Yun Ming?"
These words immediately drew everyone's attention to Tang San.
"What do you mean?" Sage Emperor narrowed his eyes slightly. Was this person finally about to reveal his wolfish ambitions?
I just don't know if his plan includes anything targeting the Abyss.
From the moment he met Tang San, he had been on guard against him.
With a smile on his face, Tang San slowly walked up to the Demon Empress, his posture relaxed and at ease, one hand casually in his pocket and the other hanging naturally at his side.
There was no fear in his eyes as he looked at the Demon Empress; instead, there was a playful smile, as if he were silently challenging the Demon Empress's authority.
The Demon Empress's face remained grim, her gaze like a sharp blade, attempting to pierce through Tang San's seemingly relaxed exterior and search for his inner weaknesses.
However, Tang San's face showed no sign of wavering; he was like a bottomless lake, calm and profound.
"What do you want to do?" The Demon Empress's voice was deep and laced with a hint of threat.
Tang San smiled slightly, and he stretched out the hand that was hanging by his side, palm facing up, but aimed at the Demon Empress.
" Demon Empress, Demon Empress, aren't you curious about how you managed to break through to the level of Level 100 True God through your own abilities?" Tang San's voice was extremely calm.
As Tang San finished speaking, the atmosphere between him and the Demon Empress seemed to subtly change.
"Wait, you!"
A look of surprise suddenly rose in the Demon Empress's beautiful eyes.
Seeing that it had finally worked, Tang San stopped pretending and revealed his true colors, laughing maniacally with a ferocious expression.
He raised his hand and tossed his hair aside, freely surveying the Demon Empress from head to toe:
"You don't really think that your ability to wake up so early and break through to the Level 100 True God is entirely due to your own skill, do you?"
" Demon Empress, if I hadn't secretly invested in you, would you be where you are today? You probably wouldn't have even been able to activate the Blood River God-Slaying Array before Yun Ming and Yu Longyue completely destroyed it!"
The auras of the Demon Empress and Tang San gradually drew closer, like two different River merging. They collided fiercely at the moment of contact, but quickly found their rhythm and began to merge harmoniously together.
The Demon Empress frowned, a sense of unease rising within her. Tang San's words seemed to conceal some deeper meaning, filling her with an inexplicable fear.
"What... what did you do?" The Demon Empress's voice trembled slightly, her anger replaced by a deeper fear.
Tang San smiled slightly, his eyes revealing an indescribable ambition.
"All I want is to regain my divine power," Tang San laughed heartily. "And you, Demon Empress, will be my first asset on my path to godhood."
"Because of my inner demons, I cannot regain my divine power, but I can still seize the power of others. You successfully broke through to the Level 100 True God because of my power, so now it's time to reap the benefits."
Seeing the Demon Empress's face grow increasingly ashen, Tang San continued to laugh heartily.
"Since you've come up with something useful, I'll take pity on you and tell you the truth."
"I am Tang San, the Tang San who personally killed your husband. How about that, are you happy?"
