"Of course I cannot rely on those parasites. I need you to attract the Blood-eating Worms over here," the Swallowing Sky Demon Whale said slowly.
"Blood-eating Worms? What are those?" Mu Rufeng was extremely unfamiliar with this new term.
"The Blood-eating Worms are the most terrifying parasites in the Dead Sea. They also possess extremely powerful abilities to devour flesh and blood, as well as abilities to resist pressure and to survive."
"They’re not much different from the parasites in my body, the only difference might be that those of the Dwarf Demon Clan might be a bit more concealed, while the Blood-eating Worms can also live within the Dead Sea," the Swallowing Sky Demon Whale said.
"The Blood-eating Worms, compared to the Dwarf Demon Clan, are more insane, lack reason, don’t know the principle of ’not fishing the pond dry.’ As long as the Blood-eating Worms join in, then a great battle between the two sides is inevitable."
"The Ghost Emperors of the Blood-eating Worms are no less numerous than those of the Dwarf Demon Clan. To vie for the flesh of my body, a horrific battle will definitely break out."
"They can’t destroy my bones, and as for flesh, whether it’s destroyed or devoured, it doesn’t matter as long as the purpose is achieved."
Upon hearing this, Mu Rufeng opened his mouth slowly and asked, "Then what should I do?"
"It’s very simple. You carve out some of my flesh and then scatter it nearby, that will surely attract the Blood-eating Worms."
"However, the Blood-eating Worms cannot breach my defenses. You’ll need to do as before, clear off the barnacles on the outside of my skin, so as to leave a gap for the Blood-eating Worms to get in."
"The Blood-eating Worms will continue to gnaw my skin membrane through the wound, and then gnaw out a big enough hole for other Blood-eating Worms to enter."
"Still, because of me, the Ghost Emperors of the Blood-eating Worms would not dare to enter. But if the Blood-eating Worms eat enough flesh, those parasitic Ghost Emperors will surely make their move to eradicate them."
"By that time, the Ghost Emperors of the Blood-eating Worms will find them, thereupon knowing my current status. At that time, my plan will have succeeded," the Swallowing Sky Demon Whale laid out its plan bit by bit.
Hearing this, Mu Rufeng fell into deep thought.
To be honest, he was not optimistic about this plan. The parasites of the Dwarf Demon Clan within him had been occupying for thousands of years and could definitely control the power of the Swallowing Sky Demon Whale.
By the time, it might not even require their own hands, just use the power of the Swallowing Sky Demon Whale to eradicate the Blood-eating Worms.
Mu Rufeng voiced his concerns.
The Swallowing Sky Demon Whale responded indifferently, "What you said I have also considered, but I’m not completely without control. I just want to try."
"If it doesn’t work, then I only have one last path to take."
Mu Rufeng was slightly startled, "The last path?"
"Battle, a deathmatch with either Crab Demon or Eagle Demon. Their strength is formidable, and with my current status, it’s difficult to overcome them. As long as they manage to crumble my body, the parasites will also certainly die."
"I am the Swallowing Sky Demon Whale. Even in death, I would not allow these parasites to control my body." The Swallowing Sky Demon Whale spoke with an icy tone, as if death didn’t bother him at all.
Facing the likes of Crab Demon or Eagle Demon, who were also among the dominant creatures of the Dead Sea, Swallowing Sky Demon Whale would have definitely held the upper hand in the past, but neither could kill the other.
But with the status quo, he is definitely not the match of Crab Demon and Eagle Demon.
If it comes to a deathmatch, it will certainly be the Swallowing Sky Demon Whale’s end.
It seems that if the Swallowing Sky Demon Whale’s plan fails, then when the Eagle Demon comes to provoke next time, Swallowing Sky Demon Whale will temporarily regain control of his body and go for the Eagle Demon, then subside once more.
In this way, if only those parasites control the battle, they are sure to lose to the Eagle Demon, resulting in a fatal outcome for both the Swallowing Sky Demon Whale and the parasites.
After all, the Dwarf Demon Clan aren’t the indigenous creatures of the Dead Sea, entering the Dead Sea, their Life Force would be drained by it.
Even a Level 9 Ghost Emperor might be able to resist, but those of the Dwarf Demon Clan below a Ghost King level are bound to have no resting place even in death.
And for a Level 9 Ghost Emperor from the Dwarf Demon Clan, escaping from the palms of the Eagle Demon is also impossible.
This last step, is absolutely a plan of mutual destruction.
"There are too many parasites on me, stripping me of any control over my body, only through Rule Power can I gain temporary control."
"But it cannot last long, as without the protection of rules, they would invade my consciousness. Along with those parasites that have been eating my flesh for years, all tainted with my essence, it’s difficult to clear them away even if I so desired," the Swallowing Sky Demon Whale said with a sigh.
"Lord Demon Whale, do you mean that if we eliminate all parasites except for the Ghost Emperors, you will regain control of your body?" Mu Rufeng asked,
"Sort of, but not exactly. I’ll just gain more control. Every part of my body is occupied by parasites, constantly devouring my flesh,"
"Even if I use the Rule Power, I can only temporarily suppress those parasites, thus regaining control. But even so, there’s still a most uncomfortable feeling, like a fishbone stuck in the throat."
"Especially Anrub, who has taken over my brain. Even if I forcefully scrape off my own flesh, he can control me to consume my own power and heal the flesh."
"Under these circumstances, my consciousness can’t be protected, and I can only let them have their way," the Demon Whale said.
"Lord Demon Whale, actually, I have a way to wipe out those parasites except for the Ghost Emperors," Mu Rufeng suddenly spoke.
"What way?" the Demon Whale turned to Mu Rufeng, asking.
"I have an item that can absorb others’ soul power. With my strength, I can cover your entire body."
