"But I don't understand, why would you, as a human being, associate with these different kinds of beings?"
"Everything I do is to protect the future of humanity from the threat of gods and demons. You should become my ally."
He began to promote his so-called "hero" theory, attempting to sway Zhou Ye.
Zhou Ye scoffed.
"To protect by stepping on the corpses and tears of others?"
"Your heroic reputation is nothing but a fig leaf to cover your ambition."
"The world has always been a dog-eat-dog world, where the strong are respected and the weak are eliminated. Who can you blame but yourself?"
Cao Cao's smile remained unchanged.
"That's nice to say."
He raised the Holy Lance of Twilight in his hand, and from the tip of the spear, a holy light powerful enough to wither all things suddenly shone brightly.
At the same time, the altar array beneath his feet suddenly lit up, and the speed at which it drew upon the power of the Yasaka demons increased tenfold in an instant!
Yasaka let out a painful cry.
"Too bad you're late."
Cao Cao's tone was full of malicious mockery.
"The ritual has begun, and the energy cycle is irreversible. Now, to break it is to use your power to personally detonate the core of Yasaka's demonic energy."
"That would make her instantly lose her soul."
He pointed the gun at Zhou Ye, and also at the bound Yasaka.
"Now, how will you choose, hero?"
Chapter 269 The Power of the Lawgiver, The End of the Traitor Cao
Cao Cao's face held a playful, cat-and-mouse expression.
What he set up was an open conspiracy with no solution.
Saving lives, yet lives are lost.
If we don't save them, they'll die anyway.
No matter what Zhou Ye chooses, Yasaka is doomed to die, and he will obtain all the energy to detonate the dragon vein.
He waited to see the expression of struggle, anger, and despair on Zhou Ye's face.
However, he saw nothing.
Zhou Ye's expression was as calm as a stagnant pool.
"choose?"
Zhou Ye repeated the word, then laughed.
It was a laugh that showed you'd seen through all the tricks and found them utterly meaningless.
"Children make choices."
"I want them all."
For the first time, the smile on Cao Cao's face froze.
"Shameless talk!"
He roared, trying to regain the upper hand with words, "Who do you think you are? A god? This energy cycle constructed from the Holy Lance and the Mist has already merged with Yasaka's life core! To break it is to crush her soul!"
"is it?"
Zhou Ye ignored his roar.
At that moment, his pupils seemed to transform into the most sophisticated instruments, reflecting countless invisible energy lines across the entire altar.
The powers of the Lawgiver of Reason are fully activated.
[Analysis begins...]
[Target: Yasaka Demon Power Circulation Magic Array.]
[Structural Analysis: An energy amplification and conversion ritual centered on the [Holy Lance of Twilight], with the [Mist of Desolation] as the barrier, and the Yasaka Youkai Power as fuel.]
[Energy Flow: Yasaka Yokai Power - Conversion Array - Holy Lance - Amplification Feedback - Yasaka Yokai Power Core. A closed loop has been formed.]
[Weakness Analysis: A 0.01-second rhythmic delay was detected at energy node 37. Spatial coordinate instability exists at the connection between the conversion array and the [Fog Repeller] barrier. The Holy Lance's rejection reaction to the massive demonic power is forcibly suppressed...]
[Solution being devised...]
[Option A: Forced severance. Success rate: 12%. Yasaka's survival rate: 0%.]
[Option B: Energy Hedging. Success rate: 34%. Yasaka's survival rate: 5%.]
[Option C: Alter the core spell formula of the magic array to reverse the energy flow... Success rate... 99.7%]
Countless pieces of information rushed through Zhou Ye's mind, finally settling on a perfect solution.
He raised his head and looked at Cao Cao with a look of pity that seemed to see right through him.
"Cao Cao, you don't understand power at all."
"You're just a barbarian wielding a hammer, yet you try to fix a pocket watch."
Zhou Ye held up one finger.
“You treat the God Destroyer as a tool, thinking that as long as you hold it in your hand, it belongs to you.”
"But have you ever thought about..."
His words carried a strange, seductive power.
"Is it willing?"
Cao Cao's heart skipped a beat.
What do you mean?
This sacred spear is Cao Cao's bloodline inheritance, proof of his status as a descendant of heroes! How could this be...?
"A gun that could slay gods is now being used by you as a water pump to drain the demonic power of Yasaka."
Zhou Ye shook his head, his tone full of regret.
"What a waste of resources."
"Shut up!"
Cao Cao shouted sternly, feeling an unprecedented unease.
He unconsciously tightened his grip on the Holy Lance.
It's now!
In the instant Cao Cao wavered, Zhou Ye made his move.
He neither rushed towards the altar nor attacked Cao Cao.
He simply snapped his fingers.
Snapped.
A soft sound.
A spatial singularity, almost invisible to the naked eye and smaller than a speck of dust, appeared silently beside Cao Cao's wrist as he held his spear.
The Herrscher of the Void + The Herrscher of Power.
This slight spatial distortion is of no harm whatsoever.
But for a top-tier expert like Cao Cao, any unusual occurrence would be enough to raise alarm.
His fighting instincts immediately led him to spare a sliver of his attention to investigate this suddenly appearing singularity.
Just a trace.
Just for a moment.
enough.
"right here."
Zhou Ye whispered.
He pointed his outstretched finger at the void and gently touched it.
It was as if some invisible switch had been pressed.
[Command Execution: Law Tampering!]
[Step 1: Disconnect the energy feedback loop!]
hum-
The entire altar's operation experienced a barely perceptible pause.
The amplifying energy that was flowing from the Holy Lance back to Yasaka was abruptly cut off.
[Step Two: Reverse the Energy Flow!]
On the altar, the golden runes that were originally flowing clockwise suddenly began to rotate counterclockwise!
The process of extracting the Yasaka demon power came to an abrupt end.
Instead, an even larger and purer energy converged from all directions, flowing wildly into Yasaka's body through the magic array!
That was the power of the capital's dragon vein, which Cao Cao had activated but had not yet fully controlled!
[Step 3: Reconstructing Energy Properties!]
Under everyone's horrified gaze, the golden chains quickly lost their domineering holy light attribute and transformed into a warm, life-giving azure blue.
They are no longer constraints, but have become the most efficient channels for nourishment!
"No! This is impossible!"
For the first time, Cao Cao's face lost all color.
