Picked Up A Demon King To Be A Maid - Chapter 554: God’s Power

As Lin Xiao read ahead, he found unbelievable information!

Actually, even without the journal, he could guess what the core material for Titan is, and that’s a strong body of flesh and blood, so they needed a lot of bodies as materials.

Nick commanded countless living dead and they were all natural materials, as long as he used black magic, he could join all of them together and create a large monster.

But there was one thing Lin Xiao couldn’t understand… where did Nick get his power from?

The black core’s power was unbelievable, it could be used as a weapon to make the enemies lose control, or it could be used as energy and was swallowed by the third apostle to let him gather unimaginable power when injured, so how was this black core made?

“Other than the body, they must need some kind of fusion agent, and if I’m right, it’s surely the black core!”

“What are you still guessing for? Just look at the journal!” Elena punched him and wanted him to hurry up and read.

“I know! But it’s not written down clearly in the journal, it’s just vaguely hinted at a certain incident.”

“What incident?”

“The stolen holy sword.”

“The holy sword?”

Elena couldn’t understand what it had to do with the Holy sword, but Lin Xiao suddenly understood something.

“Elena, have you thought about something?”

“What?”

“Why is the black core so powerful?”

“Because it’s high-level black magic?”

“It is made of black magic, but the problem is, do you think it’s possible to make something like that with just black magic and the magic circles we mortals draw?”

“W-what are you trying to say?”

“I’m saying… the third apostle, Nick, as someone like us… oh no, as a human like me, can he really make something that could fuse numerous bodies and then birth Titan?”

Nick may be strong, but he was nowhere on the level of a godslayer. In terms of strength, he wasn’t even as strong as Lin Xiao. In terms of proficiency with black magic, he wasn’t much better than Snow, so can someone like him really kill the gods?

“No, definitely not! He’s not that strong, to make the black core, you’ll need extraordinary power, and it can’t belong to him!”

If Nick were that strong, they would have already succeeded in killing the gods and Lin Xiao wouldn’t be able to stop them. So in conclusion, the power didn’t come from Nick, but somewhere else, something not mortal!

The only thing that can kill a god is a god…

“So you’re saying…!?” After hearing what Lin Xiao said, even without a clear answer, Elena already understood!

It seems like Lin Xiao’s feeling was right, everything that happened in Gotham Kingdom was related! Whether it was the plague, the rebellion, or the stolen Holy sword, it was all for one goal, and that was to kill the gods!

But only a god can kill a god, normal mortals can’t, and as a mortal, Nick is trying to create Titan to kill the gods!

How?

From the power of the gods!

And what does he possess that contains the power of the gods?

That’s right, it’s the Holy sword!

“Damn!” When he got the final answer, he slammed his fist on the table!

“Lin Xiao, don’t scare me… w-what’s wrong?”

“I suddenly thought of something! But… damn, we might be too late!”

“Now that you’ve already seen through all of the third apostle’s plans, is there anything else you have to worry about?”

“Where Nick went… where the hell did that bastard go!?”

Lin Xiao clenched his fist and was about to smash it against the table again, but he stopped and began pacing back and forth.

“H-how would I know where Nick went? Maybe he went to his secret base to finish the final experiment and awaken Titan?”

“Impossible! He has a lot of time to do that there’s no rush. Since he dragged his injured body out, he must be going to do something that’s urgent!”

“Urgent? Could it be… Snow’s experiment!”

“… Damn, please don’t be right!”

That’s right, the most urgent thing right now was surely Snow”s experiment. Now that she has the sacred crystal fruit, she would be finished with the black core at any time and at that time, she would surely discover the final unimaginable secret!

It turns out, the ingredient to make the black core is actually…

“Could it be that Nick plans to exterminate Snow before she exposes the secret???”

She never expected that he would be so quick. She had thought that they had already broken into his home and won! But never expected him to be faster than them!

Even though Lin Xiao already raided his house and won, Nick had already given up his home and turned on the offense toward Snow.

“Lin Xiao, what should we go? Let’s… let’s go help!”

“We’re too late… we wasted too much time here, Nick has probably already started!”

“But Snow is strong, right, she should be able to deal with it.”

“She is strong, but she doesn’t know Nick is the third apostle! Nick is a Saint and as her colleague, she probably won’t be vigilant…”

“Then what should we do?”

“Anyways… we can only head back first!”

Lin Xiao clenched his fist and was getting anxious!

“Bastard! If you dare touch a single hair on my sister’s body, I won’t forgive you!”

Although there were still a lot of things left unfinished and more worth investigating, Lin Xiao couldn’t waste any more time. He just took the most important journal and then dragged Elena with him and quickly ran back to help.

But just as they were leaving the underground tunnel, Elena suddenly warned him!

“… There’s people!”

Just as Lin Xiao stepped out, Elena dragged him back in.

“What?”

“They’re here!”

“Who?”

“Who else… the people who want to kill you!”

Elena looked through the empty open door and lowered her voice.

Yes, there was no one in the yard, but as soon as Lin Xiao stepped outside, there would be numerous killers dropping down from above! Although they hid their aura, they couldn’t hide from Elena!

“They came so quickly… how many people are there?”

“Four outside the room laying in ambush. There’s also nine more in the yard, they’re not strong but they seem well-trained and won’t be easy to deal with quickly.”

“What are you scared of when there are so few people? Just watch me take care of those small fry!”

After getting the information, Lin Xiao didn’t care and was prepared to just go head in!

It’s no wonder Lin Xiao would be so confident since even the third apostle lost to him, so these henchmen were nothing to him!

“C-calm down, just wait!”

“Why are you stopping me? Do you not think I can beat them?”

“I know you can beat them… but Lin Xiao, don’t forget what we need to do!”

“… I need to go find Snow.”

Lin Xiao furrowed his brows and stopped.

They looked at each other, and even though they never said anything, Lin Xiao understood Elena.

That’s right, his enemy wasn’t these small fries, but time!

It was a race against time to save Snow before Nick could get to her!

“These people are just the beginning, if I’m not wrong, there’s still a large group coming! There are at least tens of people more, and we still don’t know what other reinforcements they have, since we invaded their lair, Nick’s underlings are probably all headed here… Lin Xiao, how long do you think it’ll take to finish all of them? And how long can your sister wait?”

“Damn… then what should I do?”

Just as Lin Xiao had nowhere to take out his anger, they suddenly heard a girl’s hoarse voice.

“Don’t worry… I have an idea!”
