Pretending To Be A Boss-Chapter 572 - 23: The Best Liars Are Always Women

Tang Xian's figure was lonesome.

Even though he had long known that such an outcome was possible,

he still said,

"I thought our cooperation, even if not everlasting, shouldn't have ended here. Before you use these Judgment Knights to kill me, I need a reason."

Constantine said,

"Compared to walking among humans, from where I stand, it's easier to glimpse the truth. Over the past twenty years, you've discovered various things in the human world.

But in the seat of gods, I too have uncovered quite a few things.

So I have never betrayed anyone. My choice was never you, but the path I believed could last.

Perceptions are destined to change. We are too insignificant in comparison to the gods.

If not defying it, one becomes the ruler of this world. If you defy it, you'll soon perish.

A beast that tries to escape its cage often meets a fate far worse than simply waiting to die inside it."

Constantine raised his index finger toward the sky and said, "Compared to you, I'm more inclined to believe that it will win. Besides, I really don't like you that much."

Tang Xian believed that Constantine must have discovered something.

Actually, that would be reasonable.

In the past twenty years in the human world, he too had many insights.

Constantine, or should I say Prometheus, certainly didn't make no progress in the world of the Order in the past twenty years.

Still wearing that calm expression, he said,

"Then make your move. Which of you three plans to go first?"

"Such provocation is pointless. I may not be clear about your capabilities, but based on past experience, we're not going to give you the chance to touch us. To kill an Eden creature, these Judgment Knights are clearly the most fitting."

The densely packed Judgment Knights locked down every possible escape for Tang Xian.

Tang Xian had long noticed that the positioning of these three was very precise.

He couldn't charge straight at the trio.

The extent of Uranus's abilities was still a mystery, and even though the powers of all three did not affect him, as sons of Order with a natural talent for combat, they were far superior in both strength and speed.

Attempting to circumvent the Judgment Knights and attack any one of the three would expose his movement trajectory.

In the span of a mere instant, he and Constantine were locked in a chess-like battle.

With enemies everywhere, the chances of breaking out were virtually zero.

Especially with a certain peculiar scent lurking in the air.

This scent was what truly unsettled Tang Xian.

How far Constantine's abilities had awakened over these twenty years was equally mysterious.

Especially since all three knew his weaknesses, they had opted to use these non-biological units to deal with him.

"You seem to have made thorough preparations." Tang Xian's demeanor became serious as well.

"History always has a few fish that jump out of the lake, but by reaching shore they only die faster. I do not recognize you as one of our camp, so I shall still address you by your human name."

Constantine's words carried a hint of release,

as if only by killing Tang Xian would he truly own that title.

"Tang Xian, your existence is an error within this world of order, and I will correct it today."

The moment Constantine's words fell, the battle finally began.

The bodies of dozens of Judgment Knights started to roar, and in the next second, Tang Xian was locked by dozens of beams capable of inflicting destructive damage on any and all life.

He instinctively wanted to dodge, even though there was absolutely no way out.

At the same time, Uranus gently raised his hand.

Tang Xian suddenly felt his body slowly sinking.

The matter around him seemed to liquefy strangely at a particular instant.

He felt like he was deep in a swamp, trying to lift his feet but was unable to find a fulcrum.

Clearly without a way out, the three seemed to have not underestimated him in the least.

Before the Judgment Knights could attack, they didn't give him the slightest opportunity to get out of the way.

Uranus's ability was like liquifying the surrounding matter within a unique force field. Their attack was a sure-kill technique from the outset. This nearly irresistible killing move was far from over.

Around Constantine, many tiny particles had emerged at some point.

These fine metallic particles were initially scattered around, and now, summoned by Constantine, they were like bullets ready to deliver death at any moment.

But knowing that Tang Xian's abilities could immunize him against such an attack, Constantine didn't launch these metals; he waited for the right moment to block Tang Xian's escape routes.

The locking by two sons of Order, the aiming of dozens of Judgment Knights, all happened within a second after Constantine's words fell.

That second was exceedingly long.

Tang Xian even felt as if time had slowed down somewhat. This sense of disconnection grew stronger, and everything in sight began to blur.

"Actually, to kill the remnant of Eden, the Judgment Knights alone would be enough. But we do not know what kind of life-preserving methods you have mastered over the years, or whether your bodily response is still above ours."

It wasn't Constantine's voice, but Siren's.

The final and most lethal method was initiated by Siren.

Only then did Tang Xian realize that he seemed to be dragged into some kind of illusion.

The environment altered, retreat blocked, and even consciousness trapped.
