“You bastard, who let you out?”
Dowa Caesar took a few furtive glances around him like an alarmed little rabbit. After ascertaining that no one had discovered them, he heaved a sigh of relief before shouting furiously, “Are you worried that no one will find you or what? Hurry and go back!”
“What’s there to be scared of? Everyone has already left.”
The black fog let out a couple of strange cackles and asked, “It seems like you’ve run into some trouble, and on top of that, it’s pretty serious?”
“It’s just a few petty thieves. It’s not much of a problem!” Dowa Caesar snorted and ordered, “Go back for now. Let’s communicate via telepathy instead.”
The black fog was unmoved. Instead, it replied, “A few petty thieves? You’re oversimplifying things. Do you know who the one that stole those innumerable deities’ riches is?”
“You know who it is?”
Dowa Caesar was puzzled.
“I’m afraid it would frighten you to death if I say his name!” replied the black fog mockingly.
“Who exactly is it?”
Dowa Caesar gnashed his teeth in fury.
“A Chief God,” uttered the black fog leisurely.
“A Chief God?”
A shudder went through Dowa Caesar’s entire body, and he almost wet himself in fear.
Chapter 375: A Chief God’s Remnant Soul, The Great Reincarnation And Destruction Process
What was a Chief God?
That was a supreme existence! Even the mere mention of a Chief God itself was enough to make Dowa Caesar tremble all over. He said, “Stop joking around, Moro. It’s not funny at all!”
“Joking? Who’s joking with you?”
The black fog cackled and said, “I’ll just tell you the truth. The thief that stole the Dragon-Elephant City deities’ treasures is none other than a Chief God, albeit I have no idea why he’s doing something like that.”
A Chief God stealing other deities’ treasures?
It might sound awfully incredulous, but an inconceivable thing like that had indeed happened!
The black fog was also utterly puzzled.
“The thief’s a Chief God? Oh my god!”
Dowa Caesar was dismayed. He knew Moro was no decent fellow, but Moro had never lied to him during this long period that he had known him.
Whatever Moro said was definitely true. Innumerable incidents in the past had already proven this.
“Why is that Chief God doing something like this, Moro?” Dowa Caesar muttered to himself, “What kind of treasure is there that a supreme and lofty Chief God like him can’t get his hands on? Why did he steal the other deities’ belongings instead?”
“Who knows? Maybe he’s looking for something in particular.” The black fog cackled and said, “You can only count yourself unlucky to have encountered something like this because there’s no way you could’ve prevented it at all. What a pitiful fellow!”
Dowa Caesar shuddered and said, “Aren’t you supposed to be invincible, Moro? Can you stop that Chief God? Help me out here and stop him!”
“Had I been in my prime, I naturally wouldn’t have feared him, but now... We’d better just forget about it instead!”
The black fog rejected his request right away. It said, “I have no desire to mess with a Chief God-class existence at all. Even though he’s only a lesser Chief God... Eh? He’s coming over!”
As though it had detected something, the black fog instantly disappeared into Dowa Caesar and vanished from sight as though it had never once appeared.
“Moro! Moro!”
Dowa Caesar shouted his name twice.
“Stop calling for me, you fool! He’s already noticed us!” The black fog berated him furiously.
“Uh...”
Dowa Caesar hastily took the hint and shut up. One must know that Moro was his cheating device. The reason why an unvalued descendant from the clan’s branch family like him could mature into what he currently was was all thanks to Moro. He didn’t dare to even imagine how things would go if he were to lose Moro!
“What was that just now?”
It was at this moment that a leisurely, unhurried voice suddenly rang out by his ear.
“Mo—”
Dowa Caesar was about to answer out of habit when he suddenly realized something amiss. He hastily raised his head to see that someone had appeared in front of him.
He had black hair and black eyes and was as handsome and attractive as a celestial being. Dowa Caesar swore he had never seen such a good-looking human before. He was so dazzled by his beauty that he became dazed for a moment there.
“Where did that fellow from just now go?”
The newcomer was none other than Meng Lei, who raised the question again.
“W-who are you?”
Dowa Caesar snapped back to reality in shock and stared at Meng Lei in fear and horror.
“You don’t need to know who I am,” Meng Lei said dispassionately. “You need only to tell me where that fellow who was with you just now has gone.”
“W-what are you talking about? I don’t understand what you’re saying!” stammered Dowa Caesar with a face full of fear.
“Hah! It’s fine even if you don’t tell me.”
A soft chuckle escaped Meng Lei as he shook his head. Then, he reached out his right hand, pointed lightly at Dowa Caesar, and slowly uttered, “Time Replay!”
Buzz!
Time-based laws of nature instantly enveloped Dowa Caesar. The time around him slowly came to a halt and started to turn back. It went back 0.1 seconds ago, one second ago...
“W-what are you talking about? I don’t understand what you’re saying!”
“W-who are you?”
“Moro! Moro!”
“Aren’t you supposed to be invincible, Moro? Can you stop that Chief God? Help me out here and stop him!”
“What kind of treasure is there that a supreme and lofty Chief God like him can’t get his hands on? Why did he steal the other deities’ belongings instead?”
The time around Dowa Caesar went back to a dozen or
