Chapter 2234: Chapter 2229: King of Dismemberment (19)

That’s right, Fu Qian had seen the thing in Ariel’s hand before.

Back in Dunis, when playing the role of Camus who was under the Godblood Curse, the higher-ups of the Native Council helped to remove it.

The method used at that time was to transfer his will into a small doll, abandoning his original flesh to be reborn upon it.

In both size and shape, it was identical to the one before his eyes.

And the one who executed this emergency at the time seemed to be called "Ya Yu"?

Fu Qian recalled a particular name, along with all the information associated with it.

What’s most distinctive is that unique existence.

According to previous deduction, he is like a character existing only in cognition.

In the entire action in Dunis, it’s almost entirely dependent on his colleague Veheler’s "imagination", yet he himself doesn’t possess a physical entity.

But the strength of a High Tier Transcendent is undoubtedly real, with many skills at his disposal.

Thinking about it, he’s almost like a soul mate to Needle Witch.

Jokes aside, if we speak honestly about this operation, a character like Ya Yu is quite suitable to participate.

With myriad methods to handle various situations, while still not being easily exposed.

Moreover, besides that, there’s another major advantage — perhaps not needing to worry too much about the negative effects of the Lonely King.

In this scenario, even the most optimistic person would find it hard to believe a role used as a vessel could remain entirely intact upon the king’s descent.

Being able to affect someone in the Second Phase like himself to such an extent already proves the power of the Lonely King.

Not being able to leave this place again might be the least worrying side effect, it’s hard to say what might happen to one’s will.

In this regard, Ya Yu might not be too fearful, and Ariel’s spiritual state indeed has innate advantages.

Who knows besides this point, whether there are other reasons for being chosen for this role...

Fu Qian empathized with his old friend’s situation, while the latter had already sat down again.

The Substitute Emissary that appeared out of thin air was quietly cradled in his hands.

But the Substitute Emissary was not as quiet, its dim eye staring over here, and at some moment blood began to trickle from it.

Wherever it passed, it seemed corroded by acid, rapidly decomposing the doll’s surface, revealing a familiar white.

Is it also undergoing transformation?

Ariel taking out this thing, there must be a wondrous use for it.

Yet the current change is still a bit astonishing, could the Native Council want to create a tripartite power structure with the Lonely King’s vessel?

What’s more noteworthy is that the white part of the doll seems to correspond precisely with himself.

It’s not an unfounded association, because at that moment, Fu Qian didn’t even need to lower his head, he could see clearly what was on his own body.

There were starkly two perspectives within his consciousness.

...

Transferring consciousness directly without consent? Is it really possible to achieve this?

Taking this out before his eyes, it indeed has boundless utility.

A special experience, but for Fu Qian, who is somewhat knowledgeable about the nature of the Substitute Emissary, it’s not difficult to understand.

Amazed by its effects, Fu Qian was willing to praise the Native Council’s choice of this method.

It’s far beyond simply breaking the balance of two against one, it clearly forces him to take action.

As someone in the Second Phase, he was forcefully linked to the doll and even had his will automatically shift into it.

If left unchecked, it’s feared that what he worried about upon first encounter might indeed occur —

The Native Council could quickly grasp more information about him, and even use methods upon the doll to directly cause harm or hinder actions.

Overall, if he does nothing but stare as before, the situation would rapidly become passive.

But what if he realizes this and takes decisive action?

Honestly, it’s hard to be optimistic about the outcome.

It’s a whole team of the Native Council, even if they can’t defeat him in the Second Phase short-term, escaping should still be difficult.

Even in the best-case scenario, he not only fails in his attack, but the persona he built along the way becomes contradictory.

Once the Night Watchmen begin to question the authenticity of his role as Ariel, they could conveniently wash away the Fire of Madness incident.

One has to admit it was well calculated, no wonder they have the guts to risk burning in the fire.

Of course, the reason why they can seize such an advantage quickly is primarily due to the Substitute Emissary’s extraordinary effect.

This time, it’s targeting a Second Phase entity, which is evidently stronger than when removing his curse.

As for how it’s done, Fu Qian doesn’t think the group is cheating — don’t forget the connection between himself and Ariel.

Being the Lonely King’s vessel allows him to easily track Ariel.

Could this connection also be exploited by the Substitute Emissary?

Putting himself in the position, he’d definitely consider trying.

Though Ariel may be innocent, the people behind him are never foolish.

Ultimately, the issue lies here, to make a move or not?

Unreservedly utilizing the doll’s perspective, Fu Qian adjusted his posture to sit more upright.

At the same time, the Calamity Eye slowly opened upon that sacred force attempting to descend.

...

You know nothing about true power.

It’s undeniable how quick the reaction was, at that moment Fu Qian could clearly see that on himself, Ariel, and the Substitute Emissary, the originally rapidly growing regal aura seemed to be paused.

Specifically, the skin no longer disintegrated, the white-gray stopped spreading.

Apparently, although the Lonely King doesn’t seem to possess strong subjective initiative, the awareness of crisis is present.

The authority from the Abandonment King applied to him, instantly aroused vigilance, slowing down the descent instinctually.

The deadlock set by the Native Council was based on the imminent arrival of the endpoint, but what if the endpoint couldn’t be reached for a long time?

Underestimating the enemy has always been useful.

Considering the precise choice of subject, whether it’s the Native Council or the Night Watchmen, it might be difficult to comprehend the origin of this problem.

The Night Watchmen seemed calm as they continued, now it’s your turn.

Glancing slightly at the movement outside the window, Fu Qian remained silent, waiting for the Native Council to make their next move — oh?

At that moment, he noticed the snowflakes outside becoming sparse.

And this wasn’t the only change, the light dimmed along with it, turning into a sky full of stars in an instant.

Stars didn’t need to shine through the window, but directly illuminated him.

Because the roof had disappeared along with the snowflakes.

Everything around transformed in an instant into lifeless ashes, which then changed shape.

In the blink of an eye, it seemed as if they were in a majestic building.

Lonely King’s Palace?

Fu Qian naturally recalled a previous term.
