Chapter 553: Compensation? Lower God? Asking for Help with a Secret

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio  Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

In the vast evil space, there were more than one or two small battlefields. At the end of the day, it was due to the evil main core.

After being blackmailed by the powerful evil race Mantoha whom he had just summoned not long ago and asked for a work-related injury, the supervisor laughed in anger.

It was so busy that it didn’t even have time to look at the emergency prompt notifications in the evil space. It could only create split cores and assign them tasks. And now Mantoha was causing it even more trouble, bringing with it two small pieces of the octopus body and asking for compensation.

“You can’t even complete the small task I gave you. How do you, a good-for-nothing evil creature, have the right for me to heal you?!” When one was anxious and annoyed, it was inevitable that one’s emotions would be reflected in one’s words.

The main core shouted, “That butterfly is about to reach the last resurrection array in the outer layer. Why didn’t you go and stop it? Why are you here?!”

Most higher-ups couldn’t bear to see their subordinates idle around, and the evil core was no different. This was especially so when it saw the other party’s unconcerned look. As such, the more the supervisor looked at the other party, the angrier it became.

Mantoha shrugged. Compared to toiling in something that would not yield much profit, he naturally wanted to get more substantial benefits from the hands of the client.

“That butterfly is simply too powerful. It’s not the lower God that was written on the commission you issued when you first summoned me. Now, it’s all because you didn’t explain the circumstances clearly that caused me to suffer a huge loss. If you don’t compensate me, who will?!”

Just because of the half-divine and half-demonic Mirage Butterfly, one of the two bodies he had was injured while the other was dead. Someone had to bear this loss!

At the thought of this, Mantoha’s eyes became even sharper, and he looked at the evil race with a faint threat in his eyes, “If the supervisor doesn’t compensate for my losses, I may accidentally let slip something, causing the other powerful evil race’s members to be unwilling to take the risk to come over. You can’t blame me if that happens.”

Hearing the threat and noticing the dissatisfaction in the other party’s eyes, the main core gritted its teeth in hatred. Although it was the supervisor of a space, its combat power was no match for the powerful evil race’s members who were extraterrestrial adventurers. Even if it wished to bite the other party to death, there was nothing it could do!

The supervisor suppressed the anger, resentment, and hatred in its heart. After all, it was the one who needed help. Its expression was still ugly, but its tone was still gentler than before, “Fine, I’ll help you heal the wounds on that injured corpse.”

After saying that, as if feeling that it couldn’t lose its dignity, the main core ordered, “But you, hurry up and stop that butterfly!”

“Ha!” Mantoha laughed as if he thought that the other party was joking, “Did you not hear what I said before? That Mirage Butterfly isn’t just a lower God, and the puny rewards you promised earlier are simply not enough!”

As soon as he finished speaking, the supervisor immediately retorted, “My skills tell me that the butterfly has only advanced to the true God realm for less than a month. Since it has only been less than a month since it became a God, of course it’s just a lower God!”

“What? Less than a month?!” Mantoha was extremely shocked and repeated in disbelief, “In less than a month, that butterfly managed to have a combat strength of the peak God Lord realm that maybe even reaches the half-step God Venerebale realm… This is impossible! Such a thing can’t possibly happen in reality!!”

One had to know that even in the evil world, using all kinds of secret techniques to forcefully raise one’s strength temporarily would inevitably bring side effects to an Immortal God who advanced to the God Venerable realm in one go by skipping several true God major realms!

Yet, not only did the Mirage Butterfly not seem to be suffering from any side effects, it seemed to have reached her realm with ease. If it wasn’t for the fact that she was in a hurry, she might even be able to defeat an experienced God Venerable like him!

With this thought in mind, Mantoha could not help but clench his fists as he thought, “Damn it! Are all the humans and beasts of God’s world this powerful? If that’s the case, the adventurers alone won’t be enough to kill them!”

Thinking back to the humiliation he had suffered earlier, a cold killing intent flashed in Mantoha’s eyes. He turned his head and asked, “Since you’ve already encountered such a tough opponent, you can’t be thinking that you can finish this by inviting a few powerful evil race members, right? Have you invited the powerful army of the evil world?”

Hearing this, the supervisor could not help but smile bitterly.

How could a powerful army be so easy to invite? Not only could it not pay the reward, but it couldn’t extract so much divine source in a short time to cultivate the needed evil fruits…

The more the main core thought about it, the more worried it became. It had almost forgotten that Mantoha had previously wanted to scam it as it sighed, “I really can’t afford it. It’s so difficult!”

“So you’re not going to invite the army just because it’s hard?” Mantoha frowned. He still wanted to cut those living creatures of God’s world into eight pieces and destroy their souls.

Hearing the other party’s question, the supervisor’s mood instantly turned sour. It retorted, “If you’re so capable, go on!”

Mantoha did want to try, but he knew that he would not succeed. He touched his nose and felt a little diffident.

“Boom!” At this moment, an earth-shattering sound came from the distance.

Hearing this, the main core wanted to switch to the perspective of the evil space to see the specific situation of the battle, but the next second, someone tugged on it. It impatiently looked to the side. It turned out to be the “powerful evil race” who couldn’t defeat the Mirage Butterfly.

“what’s the matter?” The supervisor asked coldly.

Mantoha’s eyes were bright as if he had thought of a good idea, “Does the human who is fighting with the evil fox harbor a secret?!”

The main core paused and said cautiously, “I’m not sure.”

These words, of course, were false. It was now 80 to 90 percent sure that the other party either had a secret technique or a divine weapon! Otherwise, how could an ant-like human rival a God Venerable?

In the eyes of the evil main core, regardless of whether the young man surnamed Chu had any secrets or not, his godly bones and body alone were enough to make it drool.

It had already made up its mind to suppress that human as a slave and offer him to the great Evil Lord! Seeing that the other evil race member seemed to have the same idea, the core supervisor secretly raised its vigilance.

However, Mantoha did not notice. He laughed and suggested, “Why don’t we release the news that someone in God’s world is hiding a big secret? I heard that there’s a leader in an extraterrestrial pirate group who likes secrets. If he sees something related, he’ll even come uninvited!”

Upon hearing this, the core supervisor didn’t quite agree. It didn’t want anyone to come and have a chance to get a share. However, it couldn’t flat-out reject Mantoha either. After all, it was the one who invited Mantoha over.

With a few words, it avoided the matter and only managed to send Mantoha away after promising a lot of benefits. After the other party left, the supervisor pulled a long face.

“Since you took a portion of my things, I’ll make you pay ten times more in the future!”

As for whether it should use a piece of plausible news to lure a pack of hungry wolves over, it still had to consider it carefully. Moreover, the initiative in deciding on which army to invite over was still in its hands.

At the thought of this, the main core felt comfortable.
