All My Professions Have Divine-Level Talents

Chapter 487: Chapter 253: The Nest’s Attack (Part 2)

Lu Cang landed and walked over to the shadowy mass.

It wasn’t quite dead yet, but its life and death now rested on his whim.

"You..."

"Were you sent by Zuya?!"

"What in the world are you trying to do?!"

Lu Cang said icily, "Is that the tone a dying man should be taking?"

"If you don’t want to die, tell me why you’re here and why you attacked me."

"If you want to die."

"I don’t mind obliging you right now."

Lu Cang’s voice was low and pressing, shrouded in a faint aura of coercion.

Fear, malice, the cowardice that comes with approaching Death.

BOOM!

Thunder even crackled across the sky!

The thunder was like a war drum shattering the Mind, seeming to strike directly into the heart and amplify the fear!

The fear of Death.

It’s something every living being possesses. Not everyone has a spirit that scoffs at death.

The meaning of life isn’t to be killed by someone someday.

Dying for a cause in a fit of rage, high on emotion, or while upholding one’s principles is one thing.

But when you’ve become a prisoner...

...and you’re given a choice to live, that fear is magnified again and again.

A very simple question.

Answer, and you might live. Don’t answer, and you die...

For most people, a threat like this should be effective.

But Lu Cang couldn’t be sure if this tactic would work on something that just looked like a ball of shadow. For all he knew, it didn’t care about dying.

Lu Cang faced the tattered black mass, and the two fell into a delicate stalemate.

"Fine... I’ll tell you."

’Oh, so it’s willing to talk.’

’And here I thought it was so loyal to the shadows it would rather die than submit.’

"The Dark Church is going to war with the Insect Nest."

"I am the vanguard."

"I was ordered to clear out the Sixth Level Nest. You appeared here, so I thought you were another type of Demon."

"After all, your aura is muddled. It’s impossible to tell if you’re human, shadow, or Demon."

’Ah...’

’If that’s the case...’

’...it seems this really was a misunderstanding.’

’With my Unsolvable Mystery Talent active, it’s true that it’s easy for people to mistake my true identity...’

’Come to think of it.’

’If I were exploring a Nest and suddenly ran into something I couldn’t identify as human or Demon, I’d probably treat it as a Demon, too.’

Lu Cang wouldn’t bet on the Possibility of a human just showing up in a Nest.

’As for friendly fire...’

’...it would depend on the situation.’

’If I had realized right away and the other party had tried to communicate, I probably wouldn’t have killed them so easily.’

’However, my situation was clearly more Special, and I had no intention of fighting.’

’This guy attacks on sight, and he couldn’t even beat me. He really had it coming.’

Lu Cang pulled out the Holy Spear.

The other’s body began to gradually reform.

But his injuries were severe. Unlike Lu Cang, he couldn’t regenerate instantly. He slowly returned to the form of the black-haired man, but his body looked somewhat ethereal.

He looked as if he would shatter at the slightest touch.

"You’re an Inheritor of Zuya?"

Lu Cang: "Mm."

Lu Cang didn’t deny it.

’I’ll see what he has to say if I answer yes.’

’He won’t be able to hold on to any information about me in the end, anyway.’

’But what does it mean for an Inheritor of Zuya to be here? That’s what I’m interested in.’

"The Light Church plans to move against the Nests, too?"

Lu Cang: "Mm."

"The Insect Nest?"

Lu Cang: "Mm."

"Why?"

Lu Cang: "There is no why."

"What if we were to intervene? What then?"

The man named E Porcelain replied in a low voice, "Our Dark Church has a close relationship with the Light Church. If you were to assist us, we would naturally be more than happy."

"But... I haven’t heard any news about the Light Church planning to move against the Insect Nest."

"This war on the Nest, if it begins, will affect countless lives..."

"I fear all Realms will face an invasion of innumerable insect Demons, with no place left untouched."

"I don’t know why your intentions have been wavering for so long, why you haven’t taken a clear stance."

’The Dark Church is going to war with the Insect Nest? A war on the level of a Nest War, and I knew nothing about it?’

"I only just learned that you were planning to start a war."

"Have you been preparing for a long time?"

E Porcelain looked at him suspiciously. "If an ordinary person didn’t know, I could understand. But you’re an Inheritor of Zuya. How could you not know?"

’Just how many Inheritors does Zuya have?’

’Are they popping up everywhere?’

Lu Cang sneered. "Are the intentions of a Divine Spirit something you and I can presume to guess?"

"I don’t know because I don’t know. Are you asking me to doubt Lady Zuya’s intentions?"

Hearing Lu Cang’s response, E Porcelain fell silent.

It was true. The intentions of Moon were not for grunts like them to comprehend.

’Perhaps... this person’s ignorance is also part of Zuya’s Special design.’

"However," Lu Cang continued, "since Lady Zuya ordered me to come here, she must have already taken these matters into consideration."

"Tell me everything. I will return and pray to Lady Zuya, and await an Oracle."

"Perhaps the Light we believe in is also meant to launch a holy war."

After hearing Lu Cang’s response, E Porcelain nodded slightly.

"Perhaps my meeting you here is also part of Lord Naraku’s plan... This is hardly a secret among the higher-ups. Very well, I will tell you the key information I’ve gathered."
