Chapter 568: Disinfecting The River

'How foolish.'

After listening to the elven a.s.sa.s.sins' discussion, King Landhar III cursed in his heart. The way he looked at the elves in front of him was equivalent to looking at a dead person. He had kindly persuaded the elves to leave because he did not want them to die in vain. Since those elves were seeking death, he did not care. Anyway, he only needed one elf to survive and return to the Elven Kingdom to inform their king.

"I can understand how you feel. Since you want to complete those tasks so badly, I will help you. However, I also have one condition! If you fail, there is no way for you to escape. I need you to split into two teams. One group will leave the planetary fortress, and the other group will carry out the mission. What do you think?"

"No problem."

The elves, led by Delta, looked at each other and agreed.

"Whoever wants to leave the planetary fortress, come to my side. I'm preparing to leave the city." As Delta spoke, only a few elves walked to her side; the remaining elves were unmoved. Their eyes were unwavering, obviously intending to complete the mission.

"Well, that's done. Everyone can take action now. Those who have chosen to a.s.sa.s.sinate the residents, may the G.o.ds bless you."

King Landhar III stretched out his hand and made a gesture. Then, he pulled the hood of his cloak and covered his head. He turned around and escorted Delta and the others, who had chosen to leave, leaving behind a few elves who had entered. King Landhar III curled his lips in disdain.

"As the King of the Holy Dragon Kingdom, he didn't arrest us, and he even joined forces with us to deal with a genius from his kingdom. He didn't even care about the safety of his people. He is so hypocritical that it is disgusting."

"I don't know why Lady Delta chose to believe that human king. Lady Delta has awakened the power of the Phoenix. Even if she is not as powerful as Beta, she is still extremely powerful. If we attack together, we can kill Watson."

"Forget it. Since Lady Delta has chosen to leave us, it's useless to complain here. Let's use our actions to prove that her choice was wrong. The few of us are enough to destroy the people in this city."

After the remaining elves complained a few more times, they scattered and flew from the planetary fortress in different directions.

On the bank of the golden river in the planetary fortress.

One by one, the residents on the river bank chanted a prayer silently in front of a priest dressed in church attire.

"Thank you, Young Master Watson, the Holy Dragon Kingdom's guardian. It was you who dispersed the war and gave us this rich river water. We will pray to you every day before meals and sing your true name. May you grant us courage and strength."

The residents chanting the prayers were men, women, and children, old and young. All of them had devout expressions on their faces. When they were chanting the prayers, the illusory light of the power of faith appeared on their bodies. The power of faith was like a thread that entered the void and connected to Watson's body. Not long after that, waves of vast knowledge descended on every resident, causing them to close their eyes and savor it subconsciously.

Not far away from those praying citizens, a pair of eyes floated on the surface of the water, coldly watching everything.

There was not a trace of emotion in those eyesit was one of the elves who was preparing to a.s.sa.s.sinate those people. He had the bloodline of the water demon race.

"Praying to an ordinary youth who is not a G.o.d and treating him as a G.o.dhumans are really ignorant! Forget it! Those ignorant fellows are going to die soon. I'll let them experience my powerful strength."

Ridicule rose in his heart. The elf's body had completely merged with the golden river. Soon, clones split off his body and turned into the smallest water molecules that surged in the direction of the river. They covered the entire river.

At that moment, the priest stood up from the sh.o.r.e. He took a silver bowl from his bosom and scooped a bowl of water from the Golden River, saying, "Next, let us use the river water that contains divine power to continue praying to the great Young Master Watson."

The believers took containers and scooped some water from the golden river into the containers.

Drinking the Golden River water was one of the methods set up by the church in the planetary fortress. The elves had that information, and they were prepared to ambush those believers.

'After drinking the water that contains my clones, those believers will explode with one single thought! I believe it would cause a huge disturbance in the city. Those so-called believers would question their faith in Watson.'

Thinking of what would happen after those believers died, the elven a.s.sa.s.sin felt excited. He watched nervously as the believers drank water that contained a part of his body without any hesitation. He could feel it when the water washed down the throats of every believer.

However, in the next moment, the feeling disappeared.

"Why does the river water taste weird today? It doesn't taste as good as before?" A believer held an empty bowl and rubbed his stomach as if he was not feeling very well.

"It is indeed a little strange, but Young Master Watson said that the river water hasn't been treated by high temperature, and it contains a large number of bacteria and microorganisms. It's easy to get sick if you drink it!"

"Before drinking it, it is best to heat it or use the power in your body to destroy the microorganisms contained in it. Thanks to the Power of Death element that Young Master Watson has given us, we do not need to heat it to grant those viruses death." Another believer spoke up. The other believers around him also began to discuss it.

"I wonder where Young Master Watson got so much strange knowledge at such a young age."

"Young Master Watson is the reincarnation of a G.o.d. That must be knowledge only possessed by a G.o.d. After listening to Young Master Watson's suggestion, I feel like my body has become much stronger. Even my child, who has always been ill, is getting better."

Many believers sighed as they turned around and walked out of the river bank. That made the elven a.s.sa.s.sin hiding in the river a little confused. The clones he used had lost their effect. How could that be? He was a platinum-tier elite. The believers in front of him looked like they were only gold-tier elites. How did they dodge his attack?

'Forget it. Those believers might have escaped by luck. As long as I attack them head-on, they will still die.'

The elven a.s.sa.s.sin stood up from the riverbank with a splash of water, revealing his utterly transparent body. In his right hand, a long spear formed from water currents followed, and before he could throw the weapon in his hand in the direction of the riverbank, a few believers who had left suddenly returned. "It's too troublesome to use the Power of Death to kill the poison in the bowl of water every time I pray. I might as well directly kill the poison in the river."

As soon as they finished speaking, black air currents appeared in the hands of the believers. Then, the believers threw those currents into the water surface. Those black air currents were the Power of Death, and they managed to kill all the plankton in the water. The river became even clearer after that.

"No!"

The elven a.s.sa.s.sin also died. He even watched as the Power of Death invaded his body. He did not have the chance to use the Spring of Life to revive himself. He collapsed into a pool of sparkling water and disappeared into the water.
