Eternal Villain: I can enslave Reality!-Chapter 204 : Necessary Evil

Xu Shan's heart sank as he beheld the arrival of not one, but three additional Lightning Dragons. The heavens had indeed unleashed their wrath upon him, going beyond his expectations.

With one Lightning Dragon, it was possible to devour it all. He could even devour three more, but not all at once!

"What are my chances of Survival at the moment?" Xu Shan asked, as he kept devouring the first dragon.

The Book of Truth activated, displaying a screen before him. The screen flickered with data and calculations before settling on a number: 23.6%.

The chances were higher than he expected, since he thought that there was no chance at all. He truly expected it to show a big zero, but it was beyond his expectations.

Unfortunately, even though it wasn't zero, it wasn't looking very optimistic. And this was just the chance of his survival, not how he was going to end up.

This chance included him being left half dead!

"As I am right now, it is unlikely to survive," Xu Shan thought, his expressions darkening. "But..." 𝗯𝐞𝐝𝗻𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐥.𝐜𝗼𝐦

He thought of something, and posed another question. "What are the chances if I were to break through?"

[... Calculating... ]

[If conditions of Evolution are achieved, the Chances of Survival are over 95 Percent]

"Over 95 Percent?" Xu Shan muttered. "It's just as I thought. If I just devour this Lightning Dragon and achieve a breakthrough... But the problem is..."

He looked at the other three Lightning Dragons. It was clear that they weren't going to give him a chance to finish.

His mind raced as he tried to think of a way. He had to delay the Lightning Dragons until he finished the first. As for how he could do that, he was unclear.

The celestial shadow beside him continued to devour the first Lightning Dragon, and although it was weakening, the process was slow. The Celestial Energy in the Lightning Dragon was too high.

Even as Xu Shan overburdened his body, it was still going to take some time.

Lightning strikes continued to fall like rain, targeting Xu Shan and his celestial shadow relentlessly. Even some strikes fell on the City, destroying everything where they fell.

Screams of people were buried under the roar of lightning, but the destruction was visible.

Sweat poured down Xu Shan's face, mixing with the rain of electric sparks. His left eye shone even brighter, and the celestial star formation behind him intensified its radiant display. He knew he had to act fast, or he might not survive this onslaught.

The heavenly aura he was devouring from the first Lightning Dragon was bolstering his strength, but he needed more! He needed a lot more!

For a moment, he thought about using the Book of Desires to buy him some time, but he couldn't even use the book as both his hands were engaged. If he took even a single hand off, this entire process would break, only for him to be hit by the first Lightning Punishment from Heaven.

Another powerful lightning bolt fell from the sky, this time falling near the Royal Palace.

Xu Shan glanced in that direction, noticing the Divine Empress. Before the Palace, he also noticed many Generals of the Celestial Dynasty.

"That's it!" He exclaimed, thinking of something.

Although it was almost about to break his mind, but that was nothing before his survival. He used the second Celestial Spirit on just as large a scale.

A Second Illusory image appeared behind him, but it wasn't a humanoid image like his first Celestial Spirit.

Instead, the Shadow of Second Celestial Spirit looked even more Demonic. It was just in the form of a single eye, which looked Demonic. The eye had multiple pupils, each having a blood red color. The eye had no emotion, and appeared as if it looked down on everyone.

Xu Shan was willing to do anything for survival, no matter how bad it was. The aura of his Celestial Eye covered the entire city.

Within seconds, hundreds of Celestial Warriors flew toward the sky, shocking many.

The Current Empress, her father and even the Generals... They were all shocked at the sight. The people who were flying towards the sky weren't particularly powerful.

They were ordinary guards of the Dynasty, who were much weaker than a General. What no one understood was why these people were flying towards the sky?! This matter had nothing to do with them. Unless they had a death wish, they should've stayed away.

The Empress couldn't understand but Yunxi and her father felt that this situation was familiar. The lifeless expressions of these people were no different than the General that was controlled by Xu Shan previously.

The Former Emperor didn't understand what Xu Shan wanted. Did he think that these people could help him? But they were too weak for that. So what was his plan?

"Unless..." The Former Emperor thought of something, his expressions going pale.

He realized what Xu Shan was planning! He wasn't using these people to fight for him! Instead, he was using them as shields to delay the Dragons!

The hundreds of Warriors split into three groups, all attacking the Dragons. This was the law with the Heavenly Punishment!

As long as one interfered in the Divine Punishment, the Punishment was going to attack them first, and only after killing them was it going to attack the main target, and Xu Shan wanted to use this.

He didn't care if he had to sacrifice hundreds of people, or millions or every single person in the city! As long as it could buy him enough time, it was worth it.

In a matter of seconds, the Lightning Dragons swiftly annihilated the entire group of Warriors, leaving no trace of their existence. But before the lightning dragons could return to their Target, more Celestial Warriors came flying.

He kept shoving the Warriors down the Dragons' throat to keep them busy, soon running out of Guards of the Dynasty, but there were still more people.
