Chapter 1758: You Have No Future to Look Forward To

Kekarlos’s eyes were filled with growing confusion and hesitation. Yang Yu seized the opportunity to deliver a crucial blow:

"Don’t be deluded by the idea that demons can defeat the goddess and overthrow the old world’s rule.

In the past, under human guidance, demons launched a magnificent rebellion against the goddess, but they were no match for her.

They feared the goddess’s strength, ultimately choosing to betray humans, leading to a series of misfortunes for them.

That’s why humans of the past decided to change their original plan and sealed them in the abyss.

They, the demons, never intended to wage war against the goddess again.

They returned from the abyss merely to take revenge on us, the descendants of humans, and toy with us like puppets.

You and your sect were purely being used by them."

Kekarlos was about to speak, but Yang Yu preempted her, as if seeing through her thoughts, and continued:

"Are you going to say that you possess tools that can control demons, that even though you know you won’t ultimately win, you’ll still make the goddess pay a price?

Then I must tell you some bad news.

The king who commands the demons, Bar, has already fallen at my hands.

I have completely destroyed the core that allows demons to resurrect countless times. They only have one life left.

In this situation, even if you could exhaust your spirit to control them, in the end, you wouldn’t even touch a single finger of the goddess."

"Liar... liar... you’re lying! It’s all lies!"

Kekarlos roared, fingers digging into her hair, holding tight, trying desperately to steady her wavering heart.

"I’m not lying to you. It’s all truth.

The demons you think are so tall and mighty have fallen under our blades.

If there really is someone who can defeat the goddess, it’s us standing here.

If the goddess truly manipulates lives as your sect claims, I will raise my blade against her.

I know every word I say is hard for you to accept.

But, I still want you to believe in us.

If it’s not the goddess deciding your lives, but something more invisible influencing them, I hope that by then, you’ll change your view of the goddess, and then...

Seek a new way to resolve this.

The new decisions you make aren’t abandoning your past allies, but correcting a mistaken path back to the right one.

At that time, countless people will flock to your side, joining you in forging a new future.

You don’t need to pin your hopes on those unreliable demons.

Don’t say it’s impossible with your power.

Didn’t humans of the past achieve it?

The vibrant magic world you see now is their creation.

Kekarlos, I’ve laid out all my thoughts to you.

If I really wanted to take a drastic approach, I wouldn’t be saying all this knowing you’re stalling for time.

I know if I just ended you like this, similar organizations would certainly emerge in the future.

Convincing them to believe in their power, to believe that uniting can achieve unprecedented accomplishments, would also become exceedingly difficult.

There’s still so much I want to say to you.

But time is tight, and we must take down the real culprit controlling you.

If you don’t believe I have the power to defeat demons, then let me defeat another demon to show you."

Sharp light gleamed in his eyes, authority radiating from his whole body, as if no one could stop Yang Yu.

Complex thoughts swirled in Kekarlos’s mind.

Though the Pope chose her as a successor, Kekarlos had done her share of dirty work, yet she still couldn’t make swift judgments like a true leader in power.

Would I die? If I don’t believe his words and choose to resist till the end, will I die?

If I believe him, and if everything he says is a lie, then what?

As a disciple of the Curse Sect, now its Controller, just following the path laid by those before seemed right, but now doubts churned within Kekarlos.

Not just because of Yang Yu’s strength, but also because of his recent words.

The timing of Yang Yu’s appearance here was too coincidental with the previous discovery of the sect, almost as if it was premeditated...

A voice in Kekarlos’s heart urged her to compromise, believing that everything Yang Yu said was not false, that he must’ve seen sights unknown to the Curse Sect.

Lightly biting her lip, Kekarlos held tight to the sugar jar, then slowly released it, finally making a decision.

Taking a step forward, just as Kekarlos was about to voice her decision, a bewitching voice whispered in her ear:

"You can’t seriously be considering believing that goddess apostle, can you?

They’ve been under the goddess’s protection all along, and those words were definitely spoken under her influence.

They never considered you important.

Your miserable lives are all the goddess’s fault! All the goddess’s fault!

If the goddess had extended a helping hand during your times of hardship, you wouldn’t be in this state now.

We demons always deliver, don’t believe his nonsense! Act now!

Use the Demon Seeds I gave you before, unleash their true power through your sacrifices!"

Lilith’s magic was near completion, and she certainly wouldn’t allow Yang Yu to disrupt it.

Even if Kekarlos and her group perished here, the Curse Sect’s remnants outside would still further the sect’s development, though it’d require more effort from her.

Lilith’s voice seemed to be injected with a unique magic, more persuasive to Kekarlos than even Yang Yu’s logical arguments.

Kekarlos narrowed her gaze, placing a hand on her chest. Behind her, the Evil Dragon’s offspring rapidly expanded, transforming into a distinct giant dragon form. The Song Yangs prepared to strike, hands on their instruments.

Yang Yu shot Iyas a helpless glance, which Iyas understood at once, pulling out the Holy Light Acceleration Stone, raising it high.

"Purification"

Pumping vast Holy Light into the Holy Light Acceleration Stone, Iyas activated the skill.

Instantly, countless pure white beams filled the entire space, dispersing every trace of black magic emanating from Kekarlos, leaving no shadow.

Kekarlos was ready to face death, but the blinding Holy Light forced her eyes shut. She tried to gather magic power to form a small Magic Barrier to block the Holy Light.

But the figure she was conversing with had already arrived before her, striking her head with a stick.
