Chapter 318 Subgod
Time rewound to five minutes earlier, and the sound of an explosion came from the other end of the city.
"Damn it! My daughter…"
Yukeni hadn't finished her sentence when Xu Yi cut in, "Your daughter is also my daughter, let's go! We're going to save her now!"
By now, Xu Yi had realized that the explosion had not happened by chance but was premeditated, aimed at luring Yukeni away and leaving Xu Yi to walk into a trap alone.
Knowing it was a trap, Xu Yi, of course, wouldn't go there, but to prevent the people from the Ring of Destruction from taking desperate measures and intercepting him halfway, it was best to stay with Yukeni.
Of course, he had another important purpose, and that was Lighthouse Mountain.
Yukeni's home was conveniently located near Lighthouse Mountain, and he planned to check out the situation there. If it really possessed the spirit of a True God... Xu Yi's heart became exceptionally fiery.
"Okay... alright!" Yukeni looked at Xu Yi in surprise, how did he know what she was about to say?
......
In the coffee pavilion at Fountain Plaza.
West hesitated for a moment before picking up the coffee in his hand and then placing it back on the table. He was already feeling a bit of a need to urinate, and if he drank any more, he would probably have to go to the bathroom.
"Why hasn't Xu Yi arrived yet? Could it be that the other party hasn't sensed his presence?"
West's brain was running at high speed as he began to consider where the mistake had been made.
The seemingly crude ambush had actually been calculated by him with great care.
He had calculated everything, including Xu Yi's personality, Yukeni's situation, and even the reactions of Isotope Institute and Boston's higher-ups.
He replayed the plan in his mind but still couldn't find any flaws.
"Interesting! Truly interesting!"
West suddenly laughed. After he obtained the Origin of Pride, his memory and computational abilities had been enhanced beyond imagination. This was the first time his calculations had been wrong.
"Let's go! Xu Yi is not coming anymore!" West stood up, ready to leave.
Although he didn't know where the mistake had occurred, he could be sure that Xu Yi would not come now.
"It seems the plan will have to take another direction," West thought to himself.
He had originally planned to kill Xu Yi, but now that his plan had been uncovered, his interest in the Xu Yi he had never met had grown. He decided to change his plan.
......
Xu Yi arrived at Yukeni's rental, where the explosion had been caused by a neighbor's gas leak.
"This is your so-called daughter, Little Rice?"
Xu Yi looked at the blue-eyed Persian Cat in Yukeni's arms, speechless.
"Is there a problem?" asked Yukeni as she put the Persian Cat into a cat carrier and slung it on her shoulder.
The cat carrier was pink with blue accents, with two long ears drooping down. It didn't at all match Yukeni's attire or temperament, appearing somewhat cute.
"Not a big problem, only... this cat seems to be male!" Xu Yi mumbled quietly.
Yukeni stood frozen, thunderstruck, "You're not kidding me?"
"It's actually quite easy to distinguish between a male and female cat." Xu Yi casually shared some tips and then looked at Yukeni in astonishment, "You've had it for so long, you can't tell if it's male or female?"
Yukeni didn't respond, her face the very picture of shattered faith.
Xu Yi could understand her feelings; anyone whose daughter suddenly turned into a son after so many years would probably look like this.
"It's okay, cats can be neutered. Once the testicles are removed, a male cat can somewhat become a female," Xu Yi consoled in a soft voice, but he couldn't hide the smile tugging at his lips.
The Persian Cat suddenly curled up, its body trembling violently.
Could the cat actually understand what he was saying?
Xu Yi was a bit surprised. According to his senses, the Persian Cat in front of him was just an ordinary cat, not a Spirit Cat like the Black Carp.

And could a cat be that terrified? It seemed as if it wanted to find a crevice to completely hide itself in.
An inexplicable wave swept over Xu Yi, causing him to shudder, and his body hair bristled.
He and Yukeni simultaneously turned their heads, looking out from the huge floor-to-ceiling window, vaguely making out Lighthouse Mountain in the distance.
Fog enshrouded Lighthouse Mountain, and a colossal shadow emerged within the mist.
What a massive creature it was, practically blotting out the sun!
They couldn't make out its true form, only its rough silhouette, resembling an enormously magnified mammoth.
But it was definitely not any mammoth, as enormous tentacles grew from its body, ceaselessly dancing in the air.
Flocks of flying creatures swarmed around the shadow, as though they were guarding their king.
"What on earth is that?" Xu Yi couldn't help but exclaim in amazement.
The creature's aura was too terrifying; even from such a distance, they still felt an intense suffocation.
It could be said to be one of the most terrifying creatures Xu Yi had seen to date.
"Subgod!" A term suddenly flashed through Xu Yi's mind.
Not a "false god," but a "subgod," an existence second only to a true god.
Xu Yi now started to believe that there indeed was a true god's spirit on Lighthouse Mountain; otherwise, it was unexplainable how such a terrifying creature could have been spawned.
He suddenly looked down, and the Sin Remains at his waist vibrated again, this time it was the "Sloth" remnant.
That vast shadow was the host of the "Sloth" origin.
A feeling of powerlessness rose in Xu Yi's heart; with his current strength, trying to devour the origin of Sloth within the creature was simply overestimating himself.
"The Ring of Destruction summoned the foggy world in Boston, ambushing me was just incidental; their real target is probably the origin of Sloth before us."
A sudden enlightenment gripped Xu Yi's mind.
"We'd better leave this place quickly!" Yukeni packed up her luggage hastily and pushed open the door, ready to depart.
Even with Yukeni's confidence, she wouldn't rashly challenge such a monstrous creature.@@novelbin@@
Residents poured out of their tightly shut homes; they had been hiding inside to guard against the attacks of the living corpses. But after witnessing the terrifying entity atop Lighthouse Mountain, they could no longer suppress their horror and began to flee en masse.
Whether it was fear of the "Subgod" or not, the living corpses were nowhere to be seen in this place.
Watching the fleeing crowds, Xu Yi, for some reason, felt a sudden palpitation surge up from the depths of his heart, and his right eyelid twitched uncontrollably.
Billowing flames soared into the sky from the southwest of the city; Xu Yi sharply turned his head to look and was stunned for a moment.
That blaze originated from the Ghost Samurai's Fireblade Qi.
The Fireblade Qi temporarily cut through the fog, and Xu Yi, straining his eyes to see into the distance, spotted the towering Flame Giant.
That was Ghost Samurai's most powerful form, also the most energy-consuming mode, used only in desperate situations.
Who could have forced his father to use such a form?
Xu Yi thought of a possibility, his face instantly paled, and at the same time, his father Xu Changrong's cry for help echoed in his mind.
"My father is in danger!"
Xu Yi activated "Blood as Sacred," and his speed surged as he sprinted toward the direction of the Flame Giant, which was in Notting Hill.
Yukeni hesitated slightly as she watched Xu Yi's departing figure.
She was well aware that the adversary that made Xu Yi feel threatened was no ordinary being; if she followed, she could likely put herself in danger.
"Forget it, consider it repayment for him helping me deal with that old witch," she murmured, ultimately deciding to follow him.
But in fact, the agreed compensation, the remains of the "Spear of Longinus," had already been handed over to Xu Yi.
What do you think?
