Ascending the Heavens as an Evil God Chapter 176

Zhu Long and Caiyue slowly followed the shadowy figure.

"You guys wanted to see me?" The shadow turned his head, and his figure was gradually revealed, turning into that of a normal human.

If they hadn't witnessed him stand up from their shadows, the two leaders would never have thought that he was abnormal.

The two looked at each other and said at the same time, "We've long heard your great name…"

Gu Nan looked at them suspiciously. "You guys know my name?"

Since coming to the Morningstar Plane, Gu Nan had only ever mentioned his name to Lin Duo. He didn't even reveal it to Gu Zhaoyue. If these two knew his name, then he'd really have to reconsider them.

"Er…"

'Looks like it's just a courtesy greeting,' Gu Nan thought.

Seeing this situation, Zhu Long nodded faintly at Caiyue, then said, "In that case, let's introduce ourselves first… I'm Zhu Long, captain of the federal government's First Special Police Brigade."

At the same time, Caiyue also spoke, "Fang Caiyue, Director of the government's Special Operations Division."

"So you're surnamed Zhao," Gu Nan deadpanned.

The two both stared blankly, but Zhu Long still spoke righteously, "The federal government was in chaos when the apocalypse hit, which led to the present situation. Now that the government's chain of command has been re-established, I hope Lord can accept the command of the nation."

Fang Caiyue also said, "It's every citizen's duty to maintain national stability… Of course, as long as the Star & Moon Camp can accept national command, the military certainly won't treat you two badly."

Before Gu Nan could speak, Gu Zhaoyue beside him was already so angry that he laughed. "With just a single sentence, you want to take away the camp that I worked so hard to build?"

If he'd known beforehand that this was their purpose, Gu Zhaoyue would never have come. He was glad that he brought a lot of people this time, otherwise things might get ugly for him if they started fighting…

As if seeing through Gu Zhaoyue's thoughts, Fang Caiyue revealed a meaningful smile.

Several people were currently standing in the middle of the Star & Moon Camp's gathering place, constantly preaching something.

The leader was Gao Xuan, the person standing behind Zhu Long earlier.

"Everyone in Star & Moon, the catastrophe brought about by the moon thralls won't last long. Have you ever thought about how you will live your life after the apocalypse is over?" Gao Xuan said this to all the people in the Star & Moon Camp.

"Brother Gao is right. The moon thralls are generally weak. When the federal government frees up its hands, it won't be hard to deal with them."

"Yeah. Besides their large numbers and their infectious characteristic, the moon thralls aren't much of a threat."

A few people seemed to be chatting casually. They discussed the moon thralls' weaknesses one by one and seemed certain that the apocalypse wouldn't last long and peace would come soon.

This argument was also quite popular. After all, humans were always more receptive to optimistic predictions, and not many people liked the current apocalypse.

At the very least, Zhang Ying looked very encouraged. Not only did he quickly become friends with Gao Xuan and the others, but he also went around persuading all the people in Star & Moon Camp.

His first goal was naturally his acquaintance Lin Duo.

"Lin Duo, you also don't believe the apocalypse will last much longer, right? If only the current government can stand and take the lead. I will definitely answer their call!"

"That's true in theory…" Lin Duo subconsciously nodded. It's just that she felt like something about his words was off but couldn't pinpoint it.

Zhang Ying added, "And a warm-hearted person like Elder Gu must think the same way. What do you think?"

Lin Duo tilted her head in thought, but in the end she could only agree with him.

At this time, another figure walked over from the other two camps. Lin Duo felt that his appearance was very familiar, as if she'd seen him on TV before.

"Dear Heroic Spirit summoners of the Star & Moon Camp, many of you may know me. I am the mayor of the former capital. My name is…"

There was a burst of commotion from the camp. Gu Zhaoyue frowned and glanced over. With his hearing, most of the words could still be heard.

_{The latest_epi_sodes are on_the ʟɪɢʜᴛɴᴏᴠᴇʟᴡᴏʀʟᴅ.ᴄᴏᴍ website.}

“Government… Mayor… A way out…”

There was no need to even think about it. Just a few key words like these were enough for him to guess what the other party did.

"You guys…" The old man was so furious that his nose almost became crooked. He never thought that the other party was actually trying to steal his people from right under his nose!

But since they claimed to act in the name of the government, their words were most certainly attractive to everyone in the camp…

Zhu Long's slightly dark expression turned a little apologetic, and he gave a military salute. "I'm sorry, Elder Gu. We must use extraordinary means in extraordinary times. After all, this is related to the national interest—"

The strange sound of a longsword entering his body interrupted his sentence. Zhu Long turned his head in astonishment, only to see Gu Nan's expressionless face.

The black sword rose gently. In front of Gu Nan, a Heroic Spirit summoner's fragile body was as weak as paper and was instantly cut in half.

"Bastard!" Fang Caiyue's face changed wildly. Her body suddenly grew larger, and a green mist started to surround her.

She was an extremely rare possession-type Heroic Spirit user, but she didn't fear the moon thralls' infection because her possession-type spirit was of an even rarer variety.

A wind elemental!

Fang Caiyue's face began to twist. Her body turned into green ripples and quickly became a wind elemental, then swung her palm at Gu Nan.

Without any hesitation, Gu Nan countered with an even faster palm. A frightening amount of the power of shadows instantly poured out, completely suppressing the wind element.

It might not have been so easy if she really was a wind elemental, but the level of law a Heroic Spirit summoner could use via possession was truly too low.

Faced with Gu Nan's Tier 3 top-grade power of shadows, it could only be crushed.

Fang Caiyue was immediately beaten back to her original form and coughed up blood like crazy. Her entire person flew out and landed in the camp on the other side.

The people who were having a heated discussion were startled by this scene, and when they saw who had just landed there, they were even more shocked.

"Sister Caiyue!"

"Boss! What's wrong with you, Boss?!”

Gu Nan and Gu Zhaoyue's figures also walked out slowly from the side, the black sword in Gu Nan's hand still stained with blood. It was clear at first glance who had attacked her.

A person with bloodshot eyes rushed up to fight Gu Nan. "Don't you dare hurt our Boss—"

It was a pity that he didn't have the chance to finish his lines before Gu Nan sliced him in two.

"Kill them all. Don't let any escape." Gu Nan said to Gu Zhaoyue, "When you wrap up things over here, recruit all their survivors."

“Yes!" Gu Zhaoyue had just been schemed by Zhu Long and Fang Caiyue, so he was still full of anger, just waiting for a chance to vent.

He casually slapped a person to death, then shouted, "Kill! Kill them all!"

The two enemy camps suddenly lost their commanders and were caught off guard. Even though the overall strength of the Star & Moon Camp was slightly weaker, Gu Zhaoyue was still there, so they could definitely win this battle.

"Wait! !” A loud roar came from the crowd, and a slightly bald middle-aged man came along with a serious expression, his eyes almost blazing.

He was precisely the mayor of the capital.

"The Glory Camp and Hero Camp are protected areas recognized by the federal government. They are part of the military!" Mr. Mayor was outraged. "What are you planning to do?! This is a crime! You are commiting treason!"

Everyone's movements in the Star & Moon Camp couldn't help but pause.

It had been less than a month since the apocalypse broke out, and the authority of the federal government was still deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. What's more, the discussion and persuasion the two camps attempted earlier wasn't completely useless.

Mr. Mayor felt a little relieved when he saw this. He knew that as long as he could persuade the majority, he would win.

Nobody could oppose a group.

Turning to Gu Nan, he said with a dark expression "Sir, I don't care who you are, your behavior has already—"

The dark tip of the sword came out from his back.
