Chapter 128: SSS-class Mission

Li Cheng touched his chin, wondering if he should bring these things back to his territory.

Ella seemed to have read Li Cheng’s mind. She was so anxious that she almost jumped up. She hurriedly said, “Li Cheng, don’t do anything rash. These… These are my things!”

“Oh? Your things? Give them an order, then. If they listen to your command, I don’t mind you taking them away.” Li Cheng said as he pointed at the armory. He was almost amused by her.

Ella remained silent.

Ella was so angry that her teeth were almost crushed as she gritted them. She took a few deep breaths and her chest heaved. She thought that she, the grand Phantom Goddess, was an existence that was admired by everyone. When had she ever been wronged like this?

Therefore, Ella was angry. Seeing that Li Cheng would not budge, Ella immediately walked to Lillian’s side. With a sad little face, she grabbed Lillian’s palm tightly and she said while sobbing, “Lillian, this is my dowry. If this guy takes it away, how can I get married in the future!”

Lillian was silent, and so was Li Cheng.

Everyone was speechless. Was this still the Phantom Goddess who was admired by thousands of people?

‘You said you’re a God, but can you be more shameless?’

Lillian thought about what Ella said and asked thoughtfully, “Sister Ella, what did you say? These are your dowry?”

Ella nodded and asked, “Do you know why I became a God in the past?”

“Why?” Lillian followed up very cooperatively.

Ella did not care about this. Instead, she said angrily, “Because father betrothed me to a man I didn’t know at all back then. So in a fit of anger, I became a God. Out of sight, out of mind!”

Hearing this, the corners of everyone’s mouths twitched. They were speechless. How could becoming a God come out so easily from Ella’s mouth?

What did she mean when she said she became a God in a fit of anger? That was becoming a God, okay? How many people dreamed of becoming a God? One could easily be beaten up after saying such a thing.

Seeing the disbelieving expressions of these people, Ella did not explain any further. Her eyes flashed with the light of her memories. “Back then, I was the first marshal of the empire. I was in charge of all the Profound Puppet corps. What you see here is the elite corps that accompanied me in my expeditions!”

Hearing this, Li Cheng nodded. In the past thousand years, there was no simple character who could become a God.

Even though Ella was near the bottom among the Gods and was a very weak existence, she was still a God after all. One could be certain that she was definitely an amazing existence when she was a mortal.

“In short, these are my dowry. A few thousand years ago, on the day before my wedding, I brought them out of the king’s city. Anyway, you can’t take them away.”

Hearing Ella’s unreasonable words, Lillian looked at Li Cheng speechlessly and gave him a signal to ask.

Looking at Ella’s little face that was about to cry, Li Cheng was completely speechless. Was this lady really a God?

“Ella, you’re going to die anyway. You don’t have the resources to activate these Profound Puppets. Why don’t you just give them to me?”

Hearing Li Cheng say that she was going to die, Ella was enraged. “Who says I’m going to die?!”

She had just replenished a few hundred Divine Power Crystals. She was doing very well now. She had never been better than today!

Seeing this, Li Cheng pondered for a while and then said, “Let’s form an alliance, Ella!”

“An alliance?” It was Ella’s turn to be confused.

“Yes, it’s an alliance. My Goddess would be happy to be your friend.” Li Cheng nodded and repeated what he had just said.

Trelefany, who was far away in Scandinavia, was also speechless. She rolled her eyes symbolically but she did not refute Li Cheng’s words. On the contrary, she was very satisfied with Li Cheng’s words when he referred to her as ‘My Goddess’.

Hearing Li Cheng’s words, Ella frowned. At this moment, she was thinking about a lot of things. Trelefany was good at dancing. She was very beautiful and had a gentle personality. Who did not like her?

Then, she subconsciously nodded and said, “We form an alliance, and then what?”

Li Cheng said matter-of-factly, “Then, all of your things are mine.”

“Do I look like an idiot to you?” Ella shouted in protest.

Li Cheng looked at her and sneered, “Aren’t you?”

Before he got the authority, Ella was still pointing her cannons at him. Now, she wanted to cheat him? He was very vengeful. As the saying went, Li Cheng took revenge from morning till night!

Hearing Li Cheng’s words, Ella’s face turned cold. She smiled coldly and said, “Hehe, you can’t activate these profound puppets anyway.”

Hearing that, Li Cheng slightly narrowed his eyes and cast a scouting spell to check the information of these unactivated puppets.

[Profound Puppets (unactivated)]

[Activation Requirements: 200 million crystals, obtain the activation key of the Profound core.]

200 million crystals was within Li Cheng’s expectations. With the amount of crystals he had now, it was not difficult for him to activate all of these unactivated Profound Puppets.

But what was that Profound core key? Whether it was in his previous life or this life, he had never heard of it.

Seeing Li Cheng’s expression, Ella snorted. “Back then, my father was afraid that I’d have to protect myself, so he set up a double insurance. If I wanted to activate these puppets, I’ll need to activate them the same time as Shelt.”

“Shelt?”

Li Cheng thought for a while. Looking at the access points ranking just now, Shelt was the one who placed third. He should be the strongest scientist in the Profound Empire.

‘This guy’s been dead for thousands of years, right? Where am I supposed to find him? Do I have to dig up his ashes myself?’

“I know where he is. If you have his location, you can go kill him yourself. If you can kill him, I’ll give you all of these things. What now?!” Ella explained as if sensing Li Cheng’s doubts.

Just as Ella finished speaking, the system’s voice rang in Li Cheng’s ear.

“Ding, dong, Phantom Goddess Ella has issued you a hidden mission, Imperial Scientist. Will you accept it?”

Li Cheng hesitated for a moment. Seeing how confident Ella was, he knew this mission was not that simple. However, what did he need to be afraid of now?

Thinking of this, Li Cheng nodded. “Accept!”

“Ding, dong! You’ve successfully received the SSS-class mission, Imperial Scientist.”
