I'm a villain, not a devil

Chapter 463: Skinning Envoy

The imperial capital is collapsing.

The Tree Man King was over 300 meters tall. Countless buildings collapsed with every step he took. His huge face was full of indifference, as if everything in the world was just an ant in his eyes.

The ritual of the Id began to take effect. Countless corpses and blood piled together, and finally formed a huge blood ball. Amidst the neat and excited prayers, the blood ball slowly broke open, and a bloody man with the Id symbols engraved all over his body walked out of it.

He had no facial features, and the symbols on his body slowly opened and closed. In an instant, it was as if his entire body was covered with eyes. Anyone seen by those 'eyes', whether they were imperial soldiers or tree people, would have bloodshot eyes, and then human organs would grow from all parts of their bodies.

Those followers of the Id religion who were caught in the glance would shed tears devoutly, allowing their religious inscription prosthetic limbs to extend and grow like flowers and fruits, until everyone became a horrible appearance with huge and strange prosthetic limbs.

"Idol..."

Wu Xiao coldly uttered a word that very few people had ever heard, and then smiled nervously.

"Your Majesty, you have summoned the tree people and the idols of the Self religion to the imperial capital... What role are you playing in this deal? Are you inviting a wolf into the house or do you have other intentions? Let me see."

He turned his gaze towards the original site of the Golden Dawn, where everyone else was looking, including the two statues. They did not rush to act, but watched from afar.

Amidst a long sigh, the huge statue of the founding father took a gentle step forward.

There was a high cliff in front of him, but he reached the bottom with just one foot. The chains wrapped around the arms of the statue floated up flexibly and wrapped around the necks of the other founders of the empire except Bai Wujiu.

The statues surrounding the emperor stretched out their huge stone arms one by one, as if they wanted to continue supporting their emperor, but they were also struggling desperately.

Under such a strange situation, the statue was finally escorted into the imperial capital.

Two statues and a statue, all three exuded a terrifying and boundless pressure, which made everyone present aware of it.

This...maybe this is the realm of deep blue!

"Bai Wujiu..." An extremely loud voice rang out, shocking everyone so much that they covered their ears.

The Treeman King opened his mouth slowly, but what he said caught some people off guard.

"As a thief who seized fertile land, I thought you would have some insights, but I never thought that you would actually steal your mother's power."

The Treeman King took another step, and the buildings in the city collapsed again, and countless people were crushed to death in the ruins.

"Today is the day you thieves will die."

The Tree Man King slowly raised his huge arm, and a stream of emerald green energy gathered in his palm, and then it shot towards the statue of the founder with the force of thunder!

Even Wu Xiao did not expect that the Treeman King would directly attack Bai Wujiu's statue!

The emerald green energy beam seemed to be moving slowly, but in fact it brought about a terrible shock wave as it passed over the sky above the imperial capital. A chasm deep into the ground followed it, and it was going to shatter the statue of the founder into pieces with one blow.

However, the statue of the founding father just sighed again.

A figure appeared above the statue. He was wearing imperial robes, with an old face and a haggard body.

"When I brought you here, I knew that you were just a statue." Bai Wujiu said calmly.

The emerald green beam of light had already reached in front of him, and seemed to be about to engulf him in an instant.

The statue of the founder slowly raised his hand, and the entire imperial capital seemed to tremble. Then, a colorful barrier suddenly appeared, forcibly holding the emerald green energy in place. There was no explosion, only cracks in the space due to instability. The attack and the barrier were deadlocked, causing the surrounding ground to begin to collapse.

"Boring temptation—"

The blood man summoned by my religion spoke for the first time, and all his eyes were fixed on the Tree King and the statue of the founder.

"Bai Wujiu, you led us here to help you, so you should have thought that now is the time for you to pay the price—" The Blood Man of the Self Cult seemed to take a deep sniff of the air, "The territory of the empire belongs to the Tree Man, and the people of the empire belong to the Self."

As soon as this voice came out, the imperial people who were still hiding in various places in the imperial capital and the imperial soldiers who were still resisting stubbornly all looked up, their eyes full of disbelief, panic and fear.

What are they talking about…your majesty?

It was His Majesty who led the Tree People and the Self Cult into the Empire. This was... a deal His Majesty made with them? !

"Why...why...Your Majesty, why is this!" Someone cried out, but no voice would answer the humble person's questions.

"Ah."

The Treeman King chuckled, and the emerald green attack disappeared.

He took another step and said, "Bai Wujiu, I have exhausted the empire's national fortune, the empire's soldiers and civilians, and your Baiyue royal family's thousands of years. Now, I have won you a glimmer of hope - you can leave this place. This place no longer belongs to your empire."

Huge noise and cries rang out in every corner of the empire.

"Your Majesty... Your Majesty sacrificed us! He sacrificed the entire empire!"

"He, he was just trying to save his own life!"

"We have been abandoned from the very beginning. Abandoned! Wuuuuu, I don't want to die, I don't want to die!"

The voices of the humble are too small to reach the ears of the high statues.

Bai Wujiu, who had been silent all this time, suddenly let out a long breath.

The statue beneath him made the same movements as him.

"You dare to discuss a deal with me with just two statues of gods?"

A serious and righteous expression appeared on his face: "All the imperial troops and citizens of the empire, listen up! The Ego Cult and the Tree People are coveting our empire. Today, as long as I am here, the empire will be here. Even if I die, the empire will not die!"

"Everyone, follow me to fight the incoming enemy!"

The expressions of the Tree Man King and the Blood Man both showed a hint of astonishment.

Is this Bai Wujiu crazy?

Imperial people, how could anyone believe what he said?

As expected, although Bai Wujiu shouted for justice, the people of the empire no longer believed in his words and deeds, and few people responded to him.

However, at this moment, the ground shook again.

Outside the city, a full white moon rose up unexpectedly.

That's the symbol of the empire!

"Skinning Envoy, you stole the fate of the empire and made deals with the enemy. You used the power of the empire to build a statue for you! But you never thought that the day you showed up would be the day I could break free."
