Chapter 227: 227

Chapter 227 – Dictator Lilim

Since she was discovered, Diao Chan descended to the top of the wall and walked to Liu Yu .

Medusa, or Diao Chan, could have massacred everyone any time she wanted to . However, the existence of the cultivator Zuo Ci hindered her actions . She knew that once she offended this being, she might implicate Tong and Friday, and Zuo Ci would likely to end their lives as she killed too many natives in this world .

With this kind of restriction, Diao Chan had planned to allow Dong Zhuo to win the siege so she could borrow his hands to kill all officials in this city, sabotaging the foundation of the Han Dynasty . Then, she could have controlled Dong Zhuo, like she had controlled Wang Yun, to make his force fight against Tong's enemies so all forces would have been weakened .

If such a scenario were to happen, she would not receive the blame for Dong Zhuo's tyranny as she would have become a puppet in everyone's eyes at that point . At the same time, Tong could have used this opportunity to rest and develop his forces to finish off every warlord in the country .

Unfortunately, Wang Yun and Liu Yu forced the officials to escape from the city, letting a few nobles slipping away from Diao Chan's grasp .

From this point, she decided to control Wang Yun herself and forcefully surrender the Capital to Dong Zhuo, allowing the tyrant and Liu Yu to crash in the Court while saving the lives of their soldiers for Diao Chan's future use .

However, her plan went south again as her presence was discovered . The people in the Capital would likely to worship her as the divine Empress now, and her plan to make Dong Zhuo a scapegoat of the fallen of the Han Dynasty failed before her first phase of the scheme had even started .

'If I rule these people in the open, Zuo Ci will definitely come for me again . That geezer is strict about being "Neutral" in the world of mortal, but he secretly interfered with several otherworlders already . What should I do to get him off me?'

The worrying thought of Diao Chan turned into a deep frown on her face . As the garrison soldiers detected her grave expression, they thought that they had angered the immortal child . All of them slammed their foreheads on the ground to apologize .

"We're sorry to disappoint you, Your Majesty!"

"Please forgive us!"

"Don't kill us!"

The frown turned into a cringe . Diao Chan had not done anything or said anything, yet these people already begged for her forgiveness . The people's fear of the unknown in this era was too strong .

Diao Chan watched these trembling soldiers and sighed . All her plans had been ruined one after another, and she could not think of anything to salvage this situation .

'Forget it . I'll just control Dong Zhuo and Liu Yu . Then, I'll manage everything myself . '

As she was about to transform her wings into souls again, the entire colorful scenery turned into a black-and-white world, and everyone stopped moving . The rumbling sound and the murmur disappeared .

The little girl realized this phenomenon well as this was Tong's [Time Stop] skill . However, she did not remember having this skill or activating it . Though she was aware that the time had stopped flowing as it should have, Diao Chan could not move her body, only her eyes and her conscience were functioning .

[Ahem! This is your new goddess of this dimension, Lilim . I'm stopping time to talk to all of you with eight and ten wings . ]

The voice of Lilim entered Diao Chan's mind directly through telepathy . Because the sound did not leave a hint of the source or the direction of the speaker, Diao Chan could only stare blankly in front of her .

[As you all should have received the messages from my mother, I'll be taking care of you from now on . Since I'm new here, and I'm not like my mother, there will be changes to suit my style of management . ]

[I've read the records about what you are doing these few months, and I have to say … I'm not impressed . Everything you are doing will lead to the destruction of this dimension . Why on earth do you want to spread your demonic and angelic viruses here? Creating souls?]

[None of you knew about the process of the creation of the dimension and how it works! Before you start putting souls into empty shells, you supposed to create a resting place for wandering souls first!]

[I'm going to summon all of you to Mount Kunlun with me, so you'll be helping me creating the soul warehouse and the first level of both Heaven and Hell . ]

Diao Chan could feel that a force that was dragging her upward to the sky . She attempted to resist and sent the mental message back to Lilim .

"Please wait! Can I join you later? I have unfinished work to be done in the mortal world!"

The force that was pulling her paused, and she received a replying voice .

[What are you doing? Playing mortal?]

Diao Chan could not answer the question . She was indeed interfering with mortal affairs so she could not confess what she was doing . Had she said it, she could have invited more troubles to herself .

[You are … Medusa . Right, you are in a unique body of Diao Chan! I see that you are doing something fishy over there at the Capital, but your playtime is over! You are coming with me to work for this dimension, or I'll use my authority to turn you into a mortal if you continue to resist!]

Her face paled as she hypothetically thought how she would have lived without her eight wings . She had spent over several million years to get this far . Throwing them all away for the sake of her son-in-law and her adopted daughter was still hard for her .

'I should work with this lady first, then I'll try to find a way to help them later . '

As she gave up resisting and accepting her fate, Lilim sent yet another mental communication voice .

[You know what? I think it's better to limit the number of administrators so none of you can ruin this planet . I'll only need that geezer Zuo Ci to work with me . As for you and the other eight-wing goddess, I turn you both into mortals!]

Before Diao Chan could have begged Lilim to reconsider, the ruthless daughter of Calamity Goddess had erased all demonic power and Medusa's wings .

"NOOOOO!!"

Diao Chan screamed a soundless voice as she could not exert her vocal chord's strength . The losses of the million years of hard work shattered her heart as she could feel that her power was taken away .

"WHY!?" Diao Chan cried .

[Who asked you to jump into this dimension along with your daughter? It's your fault in the first place for caring too much about that infected soul . I don't know what game you are playing, but this is my yard now, my world! I am the law here, and you will obey my rules . If you want to blame someone, blame it on your master who instigated the recent war in Heaven!]

Without bothering explaining anything else, Lilim deactivated the time stop .

Diao Chan flopped down on her knees, tearing as she could not handle the feeling of her loss . At the same time, she gritted her teeth in anger .

She had tried to help her family earlier, Zuo Ci stopped her . She tried to help her family again, Lilim stripped her power .

The feeling of being unreasonably oppressed by the stronger transformed into a grudge and resentment . Diao Chan vowed that one day once she could regain her power, the two ten-winged immortals had to pay for this humiliation .

'Ten million years, a hundred million years, a hundred thousand million years, I won't forget this!' She screamed in her mind and exploded out her killing intent .

Because the time had begun flowing normally, the killing intent enveloped all garrison soldiers and Dong Zhuo's men, terrifying all of them . Everyone panicked as the menacing air suffocated them to the point that half of the manly soldiers wet their pants .

As an ex-elite demoness, her natural killing intent far surpassed Lu Bu in many levels . Even without a demonic power, her killing intent was still her best deadly weapon against all foes .

"Invite Dong Zhuo inside the palace, but he has to leave his soldiers outside!" Diao Chan commanded Liu Yu .

Still being terrified by the little girl's presence, Liu Yu sent his order to his subordinates and gatekeepers, having them open the gate .

The gigantic bronze doors, the northern gate of the Capital, gave a loud creak as it was being pushed by twenty strong men . A messenger galloped toward Dong Zhuo and relayed a message .

"THE EMPRESS HAS SUMMONED DONG ZHUO INTO THE PALACE . ONLY DONG ZHUO CAN ENTER . THE REST OF THE SOLDIERS STAY OUTSIDE!" Shouted the horseman messenger .

Li Ru and Dong Zhuo glanced at each other, baffled by the series of developments .

They came here with the intention to fight, but they faced the sudden earthquake and a sign of a calamity . Then, they saw a flying little girl, who descended on top of the wall, after which, they sent a messenger to invite Dong Zhuo inside the palace by the Empress who they had no idea about .

"What is all this? Li Ru?"

"I don't know either, my Lord . "

Dong Zhuo frowned for a moment, "An Empress? Now?"

The fat warlord gazed at the top of the wall . He could feel the killing intent coming from one of the people on top of it . As a veteran general who guarded the west border for years, Dong Zhuo only felt the intimidating aura, but it did not scare him enough to lose his calm . He still got a chill running down his spine and goosebumps though .

His brain worked as if he was a strategist on a battlefield . Several simulated scenarios appeared in his mind as Dong Zhuo was deducing about this "Empress" existence .

An enlightenment and an inspiration came to his mind as he recalled that Liu Ping should have been dead by this time .

"Wenyou, any latest news about that Emperor brat and the results of the northern war?"

"There's only a rumor without a piece of concrete evidence . Spies from Shangdang said that the garrison soldiers gossiped about the death of Liu Ping, but nobody has seen his corpse or the announcement from their superior . "

"That's good enough . I have an idea . HAHAHAHA!"

Dong Zhuo kicked his horse forward and commanded Li Ru, "Stationed our troops outside! I'm going to see this [Empress] for a bit . Hua Xiong! Come with me!"

The muscular general galloped his horse and followed Dong Zhuo, acting as his bodyguard .

As for Dong Zhuo, he did not enter the gate like the messenger or how Diao Chan had summoned him . Instead, he shouted, "I WANT TO TALK TO THE EMPRESS! SUMMON HER HERE THIS INSTANT OR WE SHALL STRIKE!"

Hearing the bold declaration, the soldiers on the wall and the front armies shouted back in anger .

"How dare you!?"

"You dare to summon Her Majesty!?"

"Who the hell do you think you are!?"

Dong Zhuo laughed and ignored the retorts of the soldiers . He gazed on top of the wall with a provoking expression .

"I don't have all days! Soldiers, get ready," Dong Zhuo waved his hands .

Meanwhile, Diao Chan looked at the situation below with a grim look . Had she not lost all of her power, this fat bug could have been squashed to death easily by her .

Though she was frustrated and angered by Lilim, she swallowed her pride and shouted, "I shall go down to talk to him . Arrange bodyguards for me!"
