The Bloodline Controller glanced at the Sword of Winter and his companions. Although their eyes pleaded for help, according to the agreement Leo had made with them, the three of them had to stay here for a hundred years... to guard the gate!
The twenty-one Supreme Lord had initially appeared imposing, left with a sense of resentment and helplessness.
A thousand years later, when they met and fought Leo again, it ended with their defeat.
Beast Blood Boiling and Undying Body parted their lips slightly towards Leo, their faces still filled with anger, as if saying, 'You just wait,' before hastily leaving.
They simply couldn't forgive Leo. How could someone be so wicked? They vowed never to associate with him again and to sever all ties!
As for the Supreme Lord of the Myriad Beasts World and the Purgatory Demon World, they are quite interesting. From an angle unseen by the Supreme Lord of the Wizard World, they nodded slightly to Leo, with a friendly smile on their faces.
It seems like the unpleasant incident that just happened was just a minor episode!
Leo gave them a knowing look, and they left with smiles in their eyes.
If possible, neither of their worlds wanted to be enemies with Leo, much less be bullied by wizards.
Therefore, they tried their best to express goodwill, hoping to preserve their strength in the subsequent war.
Avoid offending either side and protect yourself as much as possible.
The Myriad Beasts World and the Purgatory Demon World are so lowly, there's nothing we can do about it, they're just weak!
Everyone understood that the verbal agreement that the Bloodline Controller had just reached with Leo was the most useless thing.
How could such a deep-seated grudge be resolved with just a few words?
The reason they aren't fighting now is because the Bloodline Controller are wary of Leo's strength, they've been tricked by the World Tree, and the four Supreme Lord who were captured alive make them hesitant to act.
Once they understand Leo's strength and find a way to deal with Leo, war will break out instantly.
They believed that they would be the ones used as cannon fodder!
"Lord Leo, how did you control me?"
After all the Supreme Lord had left, the World Tree quietly and uneasily inquired of Leo how he had just controlled him.
He could swear on his soul that he really had no private agreement with Leo, and that he really couldn't control himself just now.
The three people beside him, all brimming with Sword of Winter, wanted to know how Leo had done it.
If they could stay in the Shadow Plane and figure out some of Leo's abilities and goals, the humiliation they are suffering now wouldn't be so bad.
Leo seemed oblivious to the three people whose ears were perked up like antennas. He lightly tapped his Staff of Darkness, and terrifying energy surged in concentric circles.
"Guess how I did it?"
"Lord Leo, is this staff you made from a copy of mine?"
"Smart, you guessed right. But it's not a copy, it's your shadow." Leo laughed heartily and returned to the Shadow Plane. He had to take over his own forces and didn't have time to argue with them here.
When World Tree heard Leo's words, although he had some suspicions about his inability to control his behavior after witnessing Samael's ordeal, hearing it from Leo's mouth made him want to cry.
Leo sent him back from the Shadow World, intending to use him as an undercover agent in the Wizard World without any control.
World Tree only superficially agreed; only he himself knew how much genuine desire he had to be an undercover agent.
Especially after signing a non-aggression pact with the Wizard World, he felt safer.
Unexpectedly, Leo not only used him as a shield against the wizard's attacks, but also controlled him by manipulating his shadow.
He wanted to cry; he had been outmaneuvered by Leo from beginning to end.
This is even worse than when his soul was sealed. At least when he was sealed, he was still alive. Now, he might be killed at any time.
He's now caught between the Wizard World and Leo; the Myriad Beasts World and the Purgatory Demon World are cannon fodder, and so are he.
Looking at the Sword of Winter trio, the World Tree said to them with a wronged expression, "You all heard that. I was controlled by Leo. It wasn't my intention to oppose you at all."
"We heard you, but it's no use, we're now..."
The Barrier of Strength shrugged, admitting that they themselves didn't know how many days they could live in their current state, and that they would deal with the World Tree later.
The World Tree is caught in the middle of the conflict, and so are they!
"Sigh, I shouldn't have been so greedy as to leave a twig in his ocean of consciousness."
The Bloodline Controller' Demiplane Supreme Lord Conference has been held again in less than half a month, which is rather frequent!
This time, in addition to the eleven Supreme Lord of the Wizard World, there are also ten more from the Myriad Beasts World and the Purgatory Demon World.
Originally, there were seventeen Wizard World. Four were trapped in the Shadow Plane by Leo, and the Dragon Enslaver and the Cosmic Wanderer went to guard the place where the Little Bookworm was sealed. So now there are only eleven.
" Atomic Control must have a grand plan this time. You two, Beast Blood Boiling and Undying Body, can go and get information from him."
The Bloodline Controller's first words sent chills down the spines of both the Beast Blood Boiling and the Undying Body.
What does this mean?
Does this mean they've already been labeled as traitors?
"I believe in your loyalty to the Great Wizard Will, but that doesn't stop you from trying to get information from him, preferably ascertaining his current strength."
"Given the relationship between you two, I believe he won't harm you."
"But I'm afraid that if he finds out, he'll provide false information to confuse our judgment," said Beast Blood Boiling.
He really didn't want to get too close to Leo. That guy was too scheming; for thousands of years, he had been using all sorts of methods to kidnap and plot against him and the Undying Body.
Yet, in this situation, the two of them spent most of their time either thanking him or feeling guilty.
Their methods and wisdom make them seem like fools in front of Leo. If they were to try to gather information, they probably wouldn't find anything and might even leak information about the Wizard World.
And they just made up their minds to sever ties with Leo, so why are they being asked to contact Leo again now?
"Don't worry about anything else, just do as instructed. We'll determine the veracity of the intelligence."
The Elemental Controller and Bloodline Controller have rarely stood together again. The Beast Blood Boiling and the Undying Body are unaware of the core information, and Leo will know all the information that can be leaked sooner or later.
But if the two of them can glean even one useful piece of information, it's a win for them.
"Then we'll give it a try."
The Undying Body pulled back the Beast Blood Boiling that still wanted to refuse; if they continued to refuse, they would truly be rejected by the Wizard World.
"Since Atomic Control has said they'll also do business with us, everyone should go and take a look when they have time."
" Samael, didn't you always want to open shops in the Shadow Plane? We've agreed now. You're free to enter the Shadow Plane to trade," the Bloodline Controller said with a smile to the Supreme Lord of the Myriad Beasts World and the Purgatory Demon World.
However, Samael and his companions didn't show much joy. Their previous desire to enter the Shadow Plane stemmed from a genuine wish to obtain resources that would benefit their world's development.
At the time, the Wizard World wouldn't let them in; it was a way of restricting them.
The sudden addition of them now is not a sign of the Wizard World having a change of heart, but rather an attempt to confuse Leo and drag them further into the quagmire of the impending war.
Thank you.
Unfortunately, they knew they were being manipulated by the wizard, and could only pretend to be happy.
"I didn't think things through regarding the World Tree; I'll find time to terminate the contract with him."
"Although we have broken the method to control the World Lord, his ability to use the Shadow Talent is now much stronger. Everyone, please find a way to counter his Shadow Talent as soon as possible."
"If we can counter his Shadow Talent, we can reduce his strength by half."
The Bloodline Controller acknowledged the failure of his contract with the World Tree and Supreme Lord to research ways to counter Leo's Shadow Talent.
This time, they returned to the Wizard World without fighting Leo. Although there were many reasons, the main one was Leo's sudden use of the Shadow Talent.
It's so perverted it's chilling.
He can actually replicate ten shadows with the same abilities as the Supreme Lord one go; who knows if this is his limit?
If he could create dozens of them, Supreme Lord, could defeat him alone.
"The memories controlled by the Great Wizard Will and the Atomic Control contained no information about replicating the shadow of Supreme Lord's strength. This ability must have appeared after he ascended to the Supreme Lord."
"Besides that, all the wizarding gear he's wearing is new, radiating the aura of cosmic treasures. Beast Blood Boiling and Undying Body, you two need to work hard and figure out the abilities of his wizarding gear."
The Bloodline Controller then shifted the focus to Beast Blood Boiling and the Undying Body.
They almost cursed each other out loud.
Before, when we didn't need them, we excluded the two of them, not even letting them participate in meetings.
Now that they've proven useful, the word 'hard-working' is being used.
We did our best.
Before the Beast Blood Boiling and it went berserk, the Undying Body quickly agreed.
Seeing the Undying Body nod in agreement, the Bloodline Controller turned to Samael and the others, "We have a lot of information about Atomic Control here. I'll give you a copy after the meeting. Study it carefully; our opponent is very strong."
Samael almost rolled his eyes. How could he not know how strong Leo was?
"Until a spell to counter his Shadow Talent is developed, everyone should pay close attention to their own shadows. He's just a Supreme Lord; he won't affect us much."
The meeting ended hastily. Beast Blood Boiling and Undying Body returned to the demiplane. Beast Blood Boiling, who had been suppressing his anger for a long time, finally couldn't help but burst into a tirade.
He cursed those Bloodline Controller, and he also cursed Leo.
They're all rotten bastards, a bunch of vile and rotten scum!!
