Journey of the Fate Destroying Emperor

665 Traitor



Sloth was a young man who looked human and dressed in black robes. The only difference was a cloth wrapped around his eyes to cover the fact he had no eyes, only empty sockets; he was a member of the No Eyes Devil Race.

“Dead?” he muttered as he looked at the dead body before him, trying so hard to control his anger. He waved his hand to manifest an odd insect before inserting it into General 1’s body. A few seconds later, the latter’s body moved as if it was alive. 

“What happened?”

“Our troops were annihilated.”

“How? The plan was perfect.”

“Our enemy–” He did not finish talking when a shadow spear came out of his body and went for Sloth’s throat. He evaded slightly, but it left a small wound on his cheek. Sloth frowned as he watched General 1 suddenly disintegrate.

“Very careful, I see,” he muttered with gritted teeth. He used his status as King to manifest a mirror where he saw numerous green spots. However, with each passing second, countless red spots disappeared.

“A one-sided slaughter!”

Sloth could already predict he would lose four of his legion and generals, leaving him with one. The plan was to weaken Wang Wei’s troops while he hid, forcing the latter to quit this game and have to kill another participant to acquire an entrance token. Unfortunately, the plain failed miserably, and Sloth wanted to know why. No, he wanted someone to blame.

He controlled the mirror to contact someone.

Greed Territory:

A man lay in a tent with numerous women surrounding him; they would feed him, fan him, and massage different body parts.

“When is this going to end?” asked Lazy Suave.

“You have to bear with it, husband.”

“I don’t have to fight, right?”

“You may have to if a powerful king shows up,” responded another beautiful voice.

“What a pain in the ass,” replied Lazy Suave, who suddenly frowned.

“Husband, is something wrong?”

“Nothing just felt sleepy.” Then, he closed his eyes and slept in his bed. In his dream, someone appeared before him.

“My Lord,” said Lazy Suave as he knelt on the ground.

“Why didn’t you tell me?”

“Excuse me?”

“Why didn’t you tell me Li Jun’s troops were so powerful, you waste,” roared Sloth as he kicked Lazy Suave away.

“For-Forgive me. I-I didn’t know.” 

“Your job is to know. Your very existence is to know things I don’t,” rebutted Sloth as he continued kicking.

“General and Troop’s training is very private and only shows up during the Heaven Will Battle. In most generations, they are unimportant, so little information is known about them.”

Sloth stopped while Lazy Suave spewed blood.

“I cannot infiltrate the Dao Opening Sect, so my information source is almost nonexistent.”

Sloth took a moment to breathe and calm down. He understood this was the truth. Lazy Suave could infiltrate the Myriad Emperor World and create a decent information network due to a unique Chaos Treasure that Wrath gave him that allowed him to hide his identity and because of his laziness gimmick. Most people who know him would only chuckle at his story and would not pay him much attention, allowing him to blend in and do things in the shadow. His role was not as crucial since Wrath seemed to have a way of acquiring some deep secrets like Di Tian and Wang Wei’s strength.

“You better not fail me again,” declared Sloth. He made Lazy Suave by embuing a human with a core part of his essence, making Lazy Suave just a part of him. “Otherwise, you know the consequence.”

Sloth ended the communication, leaving a trembling Lazy Suave. Immediately afterward, he contacted Wrath to have a meeting with the others.

“So the plan failed?” uttered Wrath.

“Yes.”

“Do you know the damage their troops suffered?”

“I don’t. However, based on the rate they massacred my troops, minimal.”

“That’s a problem. What about you, Lust?” 

“Di Tian’s army is not that impressive as we had the overwhelming advantage. However, an anomaly occurred,” she replied casually.

“Is it the one Heavenly Dao sealed?”

“Yes. My general can barely hold him back, but we lost many people.”

“How are his casualties compared to you?”

“We are still winning, but that won’t last long.”

“Do you want to retreat?” asked Wrath.

“I’ll weaken him a little more.”

“As you wish, but don’t affect the overall plan,” Wrath stated calmly. “Gluttony, what happened to Mo Xingyun?”

“She is more cunning than anticipated; she broke through my blockade, and I’m pursuing her; she has quite the tactical mind.”

“Be careful, and don’t be afraid to give up.”

“I will.”

“Anything else to report?” asked Wrath, but no one answered. “Everyone can leave except for Sloth.”please visit panda(-)N0ve1.co)m

“I-I’m really sorry,” explained Sloth once he was alone.

“No need to worry: I won’t blame you,” he reassured. “I’m here for something else.” Sloth was confused, so Wrath explained.

“Someone placed a tracker on you, and I’m here to remove it.”

“Tracker?” Sloth’s face suddenly changed as he remembered something.

“It seems you know what happened,” said Wrath.

“Yes.”

Wrath removed something from Sloth’s cheeks, “Be more careful from now on.”

“I will.”

“I know you, so you must plan to get your revenge on Wang Wei. What method are you going to use?” Wrath knew how petty Sloth was and refused to take any loss.

“I-I–”

“Tell me the plan. If I approve, I will support you. If not, you can give up now.”

Sloth felt tremendous pressure as these beautiful eyes gazed directly into his soul. Without hesitation, he confessed what he had planned.

“It’s a good way to satisfy your desire for petty revenge. Very well, you’re dismissed.”

Sloth immediately ended the communication, breathing deeply as he felt a weight lifted from his shoulder.

“Still as scary as usual,” he muttered before frowning. He activated the mirror: “Lust, what do you want?”

“I wanted to check on you.”

pAn,Da-n0v e1,c,m “Since when were you so nice?”

“That’s unfair. We used to be very closed, so what’s wrong with me checking on you?”

“What do you want?” asked Sloth with raised eyebrows.

“Nothing. I was just thinking about our intimate past, before the trial, before the game. After seeing how distressed you were, all these memories rushed in.” 

Lust smiled gently, “I wanted to see you.”

Sloth bit the lower part of his lip, “Fine, you can come to see me.” [Kings] can teleport between each other’s locations if they ally; that’s the primary way they travel between different territories. It’s because of this alliance system that they can communicate long distances.

A few minutes later, Lust–dressed in quite a revealing outfit–teleported to his base. Without hesitation or pause, they jumped onto each other’s arms, acting like wild animals lost to their primal desires.

A few hours later, Sloth looked at Lust’s beautiful and elastic skin; her charm was simply irresistible.

“Do you mind if I walked around in your territory? It’s been a while since I was here.”

“Do as you wish, but be careful.”

“Thank you,” said Lust as she gave him a kiss with a jovial smile and left the room. Sloth watched her go with a deep look in his eyes.

‘In that trial, we had first to conquer our seven deadly sins. So, what happened to you? Did you fail or decide to indulge in your power?’ He shook his head while sighing. He put his clothes on before leaving; he had other plans he needed to accomplish.

“Sect Master, I’ve got some news,” said Wang Ju.

“What is it?”

“Someone removed the tracker I placed on the enemy.”

“They are quite capable. Did you get any information?”

“I got a general location of their position but nothing concrete.”

“That’s more than enough.”

Wang Wei looked at his entrance token, which was more than 75% activated. With a few more victories, it would be activated. By then, he has to worry about the number of people the token will allow. He guessed the more people allowed, the higher a token would be required. And Wang Wei wanted to bring the maximum number of troops to protect him from cannon fodder tactics and ensure he was in the best state for his fight with Di Tian.

“This was a worthwhile victory,” said Li Jun as he approached the rest of the group. “And we finally have enough horses for a cavalry.”

“We also have our destination,” said Wang Wei before he explained what Wang Ju found.

“If Kings have a base, it should be different from normal cities and obvious to detect once we see it.”

“Yes, but the location might be at the far end of this territory, forcing us to walk for years with nothing in sight,” complained Tie Gang.

“You have a point. We have horses, but not enough for everyone.”

“Let’s head in that direction: if we found the base, it’s fine. If not, we will accomplish our main objective while trying to find a faster way of travel,” summarized Wang Wei. “Before that, Liling, let’s try something new.”

“What is it?”

“Let’s see if [Advisors] can give people other roles.”

“If that’s possible, my workload would be drastically reduced.” She had to refine all the pills and even repair some of the soldiers’ equipment. An aid would greatly help her.

Someone in my Discord predicted this twist, so I almost removed it from the story. There is nothing more aggravating as a writer when someone predicts something you were excited to reveal. However, I decided otherwise because most people would not remember who Lazy Suave was.
