Sizzle~
A pale green gas shot out from the mouth of the glass bottle, signifying that the Hades Poison had been completely catalyzed.
Gustavo's attention shifted from the Eye of Fate. He picked up the poison vial with a hand formed from spider silk, shook it gently a few times, and smiled with satisfaction as he watched the fine, even bubbles appear inside the liquid, revealing a mouthful of sharp teeth.
After carefully storing the Hades Poison, Gustavo opened the door and went outside.
At this moment, Victor was meditating cross-legged on the soft carpet in the center of the living room. His powerful magic surged within him, and after connecting with the Ether Power of the outside world, which is the element of nature, it faintly manifested as a vortex, devouring the surrounding Ether Power with an extremely greedy attitude, and was extremely domineering.
Gustavo stood to the side watching, while the "Eye of Omniscience" above his head emitted a dazzling starlight, information flowing through it, as if it were calculating something.
About ten minutes later, Victor finished his meditation, let out a long breath, and stopped. Opening his eyes, he saw Gustavo standing beside him and asked with surprise, "You're done?"
Gustavo nodded, then tilted his head slightly and asked, "How was it? Isn't the Black Hole Fission Meditation Method I taught you far superior to that lousy meditation method your family passed down?!"
"Uh-huh!"
Victor nodded frantically with an expression of adoration, all his previous resistance and hesitation gone. You see, when this kid first started practicing the meditation method that Gustavo gave him, he resisted so much that he was beaten up before tearfully and 'voluntarily' practicing it.
After several days of practice, Victor had been completely conquered by the Black Hole Fission Meditation Method. This was not surprising, as Gustavo was Invincible Demigod who had even reached the level of True God in his understanding of the Law of Devouring.
Given his status and the meditation method he created, even Truth Fate Master would worship him, let alone a mere second-level Fate Art Master.
"Remember to practice the Fate Art ' Thunder Battle Cry ' that I taught you. Apart from that, don't bother practicing any other miscellaneous Fate Art. For the time being, all you need to do is practice as quickly as possible how to mobilize the mana within your body to launch the Thunder Battle Cry Fate Art. That will be the greatest victory!"
"Okay, I understand."
Although Victor did not understand the meaning behind Gustavo's words, he was now completely conquered by the Black Hole Fission Meditation Method and worshipped Gustavo immensely, obeying his every word and never going west if he was told to go east.
Ultimately, Victor was just a greenhorn, relatively simple-minded, and he trusted Gustavo, his only 'family member,' almost unconditionally.
Seeing Victor's attitude, Gustavo smiled with satisfaction and said, "Make preparations. Next, we will infiltrate the Shadow Serpent Clan and avenge your people."
"Should I go too?" Victor was both eager and hesitant. It wasn't that he was afraid, but he was worried about holding Gustavo back.
Gustavo, fully aware of the situation, offered no explanation, but instead mysteriously stated, "In this battle, you are the protagonist!"
After saying that, Gustavo took out a black cloak that he had made while making the poison, and casually draped it over Victor's head.
As the Dao Pattern lit up, Victor's aura became sinister and obscure, elusive and unpredictable, like a Mist, impossible to fathom.
Gustavo crawled into the cloak, his eight legs still spread out, clinging to Victor's chest like suction cups, and gave the order to depart.
It is nighttime, and although the Stars·Shine, visibility is likely still much lower than during the day.
With Gustavo's assistance, Victor moved with lightning speed, leaping and darting through the shadows of Buda City's residential houses like Revenge nightmare, rushing towards the Shadow Serpent Clan's stronghold.
During this time, while passing by a certain "Star God Tower", Gustavo shot a mental wave at the statue, which caused a Star Soldier to revive and stare at the surroundings with wide eyes.
Then, a voice suddenly appeared in the Star Soldier's mind.
The meaning conveyed in those words made Star Soldier's eyes widen even more. He hurriedly left the Star God and headed to the Star Envoy to report.
Victor noticed Gustavo's subtle movements and asked curiously, "What did you just do?"
Gustavo replied lazily, "Nothing, just looking for someone to do the ground cleaning. Get on your way."
"What? You didn't hear me wrong?"
Buda City Star Envoy Volatus suddenly stood up, his face filled with shock. In front of him was a Star Soldier kneeling on one knee.
Star Soldier lowered his head and affirmed, "Absolutely right, Star Envoy. That voice has echoed in my mind dozens of times, as if afraid I would forget it."
"Is that so?"
Buda Star Envoy narrowed his eyes slightly, pondered for a moment, and then smiled coldly, "It seems that another fierce conflict is about to break out among these Fate Master."
Upon hearing this, Star Soldier raised his head, puzzled, and asked, "But why are the Fate Master attacking each other, and why are they sending us messages?"
"Fool, don't you understand even this basic logic?" the Buda Star Envoy roared. "Isn't it obvious? The Shadow Serpent Clan has established their base in Buda City. Once the Fate Master start fighting, civilians will inevitably be injured. At that time, as Star God Lineage, should we intervene or not?"
"The person who passed on the message to you must be confident in wiping out the Shadow Serpent Clan. They leaked the information so that our Star God Lineage could prepare in advance, preventing us from rashly intervening without knowing the full story and interfering with their actions! At the same time, it also avoids accidentally harming civilians and thus causing conflict between us."
After the Star Envoy finished his analysis, the kneeling Star Soldier's eyes brightened slightly, and he finally understood. He quickly flattered, "Your wisdom is truly exceptional, Star Envoy. I simply couldn't see through these intricacies."
Upon hearing this, the Buda Star Envoy smiled smugly, "Hmph, otherwise why would I be Star Envoy and you're just a Star Soldier?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the Buda Star Envoy immediately ordered, "Order the Star Soldier to assemble immediately and rush to the outskirts of the Shadow Serpent Clan. We must not allow the battle between Fate Master to affect the civilians, otherwise, if the Star God blames us, we will all be punished!"
"Yes!"
Star Soldier's expression hardened. After receiving the order, he withdrew and gathered his men.
Inside the main hall, the Buda Star Envoy stood rooted to the spot, letting out a sigh, "If World King were still alive, how dare these Fate Master be so arrogant..."
Despite his seemingly authoritative demeanor in front of his subordinates, the Buda Star Envoy was actually quite ashamed of Gustavo's actions.
The reason is simple: it's like two gangs calling the police to watch a fight, even if it's to protect civilians. But no matter how you look at it, the gangs' behavior is far too arrogant.
But that's reality, and the Buda Star Envoy has no choice. The Star God System is no longer as powerful as it was three thousand years ago. This newly formed faction is rapidly weakening as the World King's time of departure continues to lengthen, like a patient with an incurable disease, only able to watch helplessly as death gradually approaches.
