Chapter 286 When the big fish comes, all the small fishes will band together!

"Hmph, you must have thought that killing me will save Vessel 969. Hahahaha, if you were this desperat, then I think you are really all out of your minds already!" Emperor Litch declared as his body began to glow again.

"I personally do not want to use this power, since I just want to fight my enemies with my body. But since you two had spoiled my plans, I have no choice but to subjugate you all here!"

At that moment, Emperor Litch was about to use his aura, which had forcefully suppressed Alina and her allies 3 hours ago.

But before he could activate his suppressive power, his body trembled as his aura started to flicker.

"What the-"

A few seconds later, and Emperor Litch could only stare in shock as his aura disappeared altogether.

He tried to activate it once more, but he was stopped as an attack landed on him, blasting him away.

"Boom!"

This time, the attack came from the demon, who stealthily shot Emperor Litch with a particle destroyer.

The demon could be seen wearing the largest smile on his face as he gave his weapon a soft caress.

"Hmph, so you are trying to use your Conqueror’s Aura now? Hahahaha, what an idiot!" The demon uttered as he gave a sneer at Emperor Litch. "You think I don’t know about your Conqueror’s Aura? Dips**t, I have fought other Conquerors before! I perfectly knew how dangerous and powerful a Conqueror Aura is! Do you think I will just fight you without preparing some countermeasures against your Aura? You must be really full of bollocks to think of it that way!"

"You, what did you do!" Emperor Litch said as he tried to activate his Conqueror’s Aura. But no matter what he tried to do, his Conqueror’s Aura did not appear.

It was as if he never had a Conqueror’s Aura right now.

At that moment, all the fighting in the area suddenly stopped, as everyone only stared at Emperor Litch intently.

Delia and her allies, Alina and her allies, Malthus and his students, and Ray’s company all stared at Emperor Litch with burning looks on their eyes.

Upon seeing their looks, Emperor Litch started to back away as he brandished his golden sword in front of him.

Behind him, the chicken silhouette started to cackle in panic, as it seemed to have sensed the trouble that Emperor Litch was in.

"You! All of you! Back away from me!" Emperor Litch shouted as he felt that something wrong was happening here.

His eyes then landed on Ray and his allies, who were not looking at Emperor Litch with loyalty. Instead, they were all looking at him with intense anger, as if they want to tear the Emperor alive!

At that moment, Emperor Litch realized that he had f**ked up.

His aura was not working anymore, and it the people that he had subjugated like Ray were suddenly free from his subjugation!

Not only that, but from the looks of it, everyone around the Emperor had banded together in order to attack him!

As Emperor Litch continued to panic from the loss of his aura, everyone around him began to approach him slowly and deliberately.

"You want to know why your aura is not working anymore?" The demon said as he began to lick his lips. Behind him, Delia let out sneer as she glared at the Emperor. "But wait, why would I even tell you that? It’s a tightly-guarded secret!"

"You!"

"Hahahaha! You can just say that while we are fighting each other earlier, I managed to make a deal with Delia right here." The demon said as he shrugged his shoulders. "I offered her a way to suppress your Conqueror’s Aura, which needed the assistance of her Spiritualist. At first, she did not accept my request. But after I explained to her about some things, she agreed in the end."

"Lies! I definitely saw Delia’s murderous intent towards you! Why would she even agree to cooperate with you!" Emperor Litch said as he sent out 35 lightning bolts from his golden sword.

As everyone used their powers to block the attack, the demon continued talking.

"Why would Delia, someone that I almost killed, would agree to ally with me? Well, it was because of your presence." The demon then started to laugh as Delia glared at the demon murderously. "Even if she was angry with me, she recognizes your threat, Emperor Litch. After all, you are technically the strongest person here! Not only that, but we knew that you are getting stronger and stronger as time passed by. Along with your Conqueror’s Aura, that makes you an extremely volatile enemy. Do you understand how dangerous you are right now? If we let the fighting earlier continue, you will surely be the winner! Delia understood that, so she had no choice but to ally with me."

"!!!"

"Oh, and now that your Conqueror’s Aura is being suppressed, your hold over Traveler Ray and his allies are now gone." The demon said as he gestured at the livid Ray.

Ray’s eyes were blazing, as the anger in them could be seen. His breaths started to come out in pants as he could be heard muttering some words.

"You little f**ker. You made me grovel at your feet like I am your personal slave? F**k you! I will f***ing kill you!"

Behind Ray, the assassin Noelle seemed to be in a daze, as she only stared blankly at Emperor Litch.

Any shred of loyalty in her face was already gone, as only hatred, confusion and sadness could be seen on her.

"Hahahaha! How do you like this, Emperor?" The demon tauntingly said as he spread his arms. "I admit that you are extremely strong. I am sure that in my current state, you will beat me in a one-on-one fight. But do I need to fight you that way? Everyone here can just fight you, and I doubt someone like you can even survive an army like us!"

Once the demon said these words, Delia let out a shout beside him as she said,

"Everyone! Let us kill this Emperor altogether! We cannot allow him to live!"

"Kill!" Everyone’s eyes turned extremely murderous as they rushed towards Emperor Litch.

Every Traveler Team, and the surviving Devourers, Celestials, and Symbolists all released their own attacks towards Emperor Litch.

"Boom!"

The space all around them began to twist as the sheer power of their combined attacks seemed to be just too much.

Emperor Litch could only let out a panicked shout as he used every spell that he can use to block the attacks.

"Oi Alina and Queen Mother! Will you just attack me too?" Emperor Litch desperately shouted as his defenses quickly crumbled. "If I die here, your chance of saving your partner will disappear! If you don’t want that to happen, then stop attacking me and start defending me!"

"...." Alina and Queen Mother did not give Emperor LItch any reply, as both of them continued attacking the Emperor.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

Emperor Litch could only let out a pitiful cry as Symbols, Constellations, numerous manifestations, weapons, dimensional distortions, deadly plants, Spear Abilities, Martial Arts, explosions, and spirits were all bombarded towards him.

"Boom!"

****************

THREE MINUTES LATER.

"Hahahaha! So the Emperor is about to fall now! This is really a glorious way to end! you" The demon shouted in glee as he stared at Emperor Litch. "Ohoho, don’t glare at me like that! You want fights like this right?"

"...." Even if the Emperor wanted to give a reply, it was impossible for him now to do so, not with the current state of his body.

"..."

Emperor Litch was critically injured, with his skin almost flayed into nothingness. His muscles, bones, and organs were all visible, with the entirely of them also broken.

Blood was freely flowing from his body, creating s sticky red pool underneath his foot.

The valiant expression on his face was already gone, as it was only replaced by an extremely agonized look.

"You really are in impressive person. All of us attacked you with the intent to kill, yet you still managed to hold on for three minutes. You truly have the blood of a Conqueror." The demon said as he let out a small smile. "From what I can see now, you are already at the brink of death. You can’t defend yourself anymore, right? Well in that case, let us give you one last attack that will send you to your oblivion!"

"..."

Emperor Litch did not say anything else, as he only stared at the army that is facing him. His eyes narrowed as his pained expression turned into a dignified one.

He then slowly straightened his body as he held his golden sword tightly. He slowly pointed sword above him, waving it above his head, as if he was taunting everyone to attack him.

It was a fearless gesture, but right now, it was also a futile one.

"Hmph, trying to act brave now? Well, that won’t help you at all!" The demon shouted as he raised his right hand. "Everyone! Let’s send this guy to his end!"

Space trembled once more as everyone’s attacks began to blot the sky. They then fell down, as they headed towards the Emperor’s extremely frail body.

As he saw this happening, the demon closed his eyes, as he already imagined the sight of the Emperor’s mutilated corpse in his mind.

"Ah, I am so hungry right now." The demon thought to himself as he licked his lips. "I wonder how a Conqueror would taste like? I have never tasted one before! He must be delicious..."

The demon then began to salivate as he thought of the different dishes that he can make with the Emperor’s corpse.

’"Ah, maybe making meatballs would be a viab-"

The demon’s cooking fantasies were cut off as suddenly he felt uneasy.

"What?" At the moment that he felt this unease, the demon stiffened up. He then sharpened his senses as he tried to detect where his uneasiness came from.

After a moment of looking, the demon paused as he realized that his unease was being caused by Alina, the katana wielding woman!

"!!!" At the moment that he made this realization, the demon let out a shout as he rushed towards Alina, who seemed to be pulling something out of her Storage.

Right now, the demon was 100% sure that Alina was about to do something unexpected, and with his unease, the demon knew that whatever Alina does will be detrimental to him!

"You woman! Stop whatever you are trying to do!" The demon shouted as he sent some of his weapons towards Alina. "We had a pact here to kill Emperor Litch! Don’t try to interfere with that!"

"..."

Upon hearing what the demon said, Alina only gave him a light smile, ignoring the approaching weapons her body as she said,

"Don’t worry Traveler Malthus, I am still planning to kill Emperor Litch. However, I am also trying to save someone. So please get out of my way."

"!!!"
