Chapter 1223: Chapter 541: 2 Lies, 1 Truth_3

“Um—ah ah ah—”

Augustus shouted, waving his scepter to reinforce the protective spell.

But in the next instant.

The overwhelming power of destruction transformed into an endless sea of strength.

“Impressive.”

Augustus excitedly uttered two words.

Generally speaking.

Primordial spirits possess various strange abilities, but they are not necessarily strong in combat.

There is a saying.

—A primordial spirit that is also strong in combat must be stronger than normal primordial spirits!

Why did Baxter insist on acquiring this primordial spirit?

As Augustus pondered, he suddenly heard the call of the Ship of Destruction from deep within the cave:

“It is escaping outward!”

“Catch it, don’t let it run away!”

Augustus steadied himself, waved his scepter, and unfolded a Truth Magic Net at the spot.

In the next instant.

A black duck suddenly appeared before his eyes.

This duck—

Is it the primordial spirit?

Augustus dared not be careless and directly used his true skills.

“Withering Myriad Forms.”

He chanted softly, pointing his scepter at the duck.

The black duck suddenly stagnated in mid-air, unable to move a fraction.

“Well done!”

Baxter shouted excitedly, taking out long shackles and rushing directly at the duck.

The duck’s face showed expressions of despair and sorrow akin to a human.

At this moment.

Augustus calmly watched the duck and Baxter’s special shackles being raised, predicting the inevitable outcome.

A second later.

The duck was caught.

Baxter acquired the primordial spirit.

His contract with Baxter would also be completely fulfilled.

—Baxter must open the door to send him back.

But—

Why must it be this way?

Isn’t there any other benefit to this matter?

Clatter!

The shackles swung out but missed, failing to catch the duck.

“What do you mean?”

Baxter looked over, his face gloomy, and asked.

“Don’t worry, we have a contract, I will certainly give it to you—but I want to understand what this primordial spirit is all about.” Augustus said with a smile.

He quickly scrutinized the duck in his hand.

The duck—

Is indeed a primordial spirit.

And indeed a being of the Destruction Side.

He had never seen anything like it!

Furthermore.

Primordial spirits have self-awareness and intellect.

Rather than asking Baxter, why not ask it directly!

“What abilities do you have? Quickly tell me—or else, if you are captured by this person, you will never be free.” Augustus communicated.

“Quack—I can take others along with me, freely traversing between Eternal Power and the Power of Destruction.”

“Please save me!” The duck flapped its wings in panic.

So that’s it.

Augustus realized, yet felt somewhat uninterested.

If that Eternal Technique is just a bit short of penetrating the Abyss—

Then Baxter’s actions are correct.

Capture the duck and let it lead into that Eternal Technique to pierce the Abyss completely.

This indeed could save the Truth World.

But!

He was deceiving him.

Who knows what lies deep within that Eternal Technique!

Augustus was about to throw the duck away when its voice sounded again in his ear:

“Please, you must save me.”

“If you save me, I will take you to the depths of that Eternal Technique.”

“There is a set of supreme Destruction Battle Armor there.”

“The Destruction Abyss relies on that armor to withstand the Eternal Technique!”

Augustus’s heart jolted, his face changed.

Originally just a bluff.

—Who would have thought there was actually something!

Careful consideration reveals it makes sense.

If nothing’s below, the Eternal Technique, after an unknown extended time of relentless attacks, would have penetrated this abyss long ago.

Treasure!

To withstand the full force of the Eternal World’s attack, that armor must be extremely crucial!

Though his compatibility with the Destruction Side wasn’t that high—

Augustus looked at Shen Ye.

Absolutely.

Cannot.

Let him.

Obtain it!

They were mortal enemies, and if he obtained that armor, combined with the powers inherent in the Ship of Destruction—

He’d be in trouble!

Moreover, with this primordial spirit, he’d be safe in the Abyss.

Rather than pinning hope on the contract forged between Baxter and the Ship of Destruction, he should firmly hold his fate in his own hands!

What if they risk the cost of the contract’s backlash to kill him, what then?

If that happens.

Once they leave, he’d be left alone in this endless Abyss of Destruction.

He’d die!

But—

As long as he has this duck, he’d be safe!

So.

Survive first.

And look for opportunities to return to the Truth World later.

That is the reliable choice!

It seems slow to describe, but what kind of person is Augustus?

In a matter of moments, he completely thought through the entire situation.

“Thank you very much, and you must thank me too.”

Augustus said.

“What do you mean?” Shen Ye asked sternly.

Augustus held the long neck of the black duck proudly and spoke:

“Baxter, this matter will serve you a lesson.”

“Never trust your enemy—”

“He likely has a way to bear the repercussions of breaking the contract, and he surely hopes to grasp the initiative in his own hands!”

Before his words finished.

Augustus’s physique flickered, taking the duck and heading toward the bottom of the Abyss.

“Help me and you are helping yourself.”

He said to the duck.

The duck “quack quack” called twice, obediently flapping its wings.

A mysterious wave of power quietly emerged.

Threads of darkness and light emitted from the duck’s feathers, enveloping Augustus.

At this moment.
