Once, I wanted to be a good person
Chapter 889 - 889: 227. Subdue the Second Demigod

With these thoughts in mind, Fang Ze glanced at the Flower God, whose expression was gradually losing control, then coughed and continued with his plan for the evening.

He looked at the Flower God and, putting on his best acting, said with a guilty face, "Your Grace. I know it's hard for you to accept what I'm suddenly saying. But... I just can't hold it in any longer."

Upon hearing Fang Ze's words, the Flower God finally calmed down. She tried her best to stop overthinking and instead calmly analyzed the current situation.

She had just learned the truth today and also confirmed Fang Ze's identity. Shortly after, Fang Ze proactively confessed everything to her, making her suspicious at first: she suspected Fang Ze's motives.

'Could it be that Fang Ze realized I discovered the truth, so he's confessing proactively?'

'Otherwise, why would it be such a coincidence?'

Thinking this, although the Flower God was puzzled, she didn't immediately expose him. She pretended to be newly aware of the situation and said with feigned anger, "Fang Ze, you actually did such a thing! I really didn't expect you to be this kind of person."

"And, you couldn't hold it in? I don't believe it. You've hidden it from me for months, shouldn't you be able to hold it in quite well? So why suddenly can't you hold it in?"

Needless to say, perhaps due to her high status, once the Flower God put on a stern face, she naturally exuded an aura of authority without anger.

Unfortunately... Fang Ze, with the [King] talent, wasn't affected by such an aura, especially as he could always hear the Flower God's inner thoughts, making it even harder to feel any reverence for her.

Thus, Fang Ze continued his act, fell silent for a moment, and then said, "Because the entire Eastern Administrative Region is in chaos now."

"In chaos?" The Flower God was obviously unaware of the events from the past two days.

Fang Ze nodded, "Yes. A member of the Jiang Family betrayed them, assassinated their Demigod with external forces, and massacred the entire Jiang Family."

"The Galan Family in Tuoya State and the Zeng Family in Yunlan State rebelled, bringing several external Demigods into the Real World. With internal and external cooperation, Tuoya and Yunlan States were nearly overwhelmed."

"As for other states, numerous Demigod believers collectively caused trouble, leading to chaos everywhere."

"And I... on my way to Congyun City, was intercepted by several Demigod believers who even used a strategic weapon like a Demigod-level Spatial Barrier Wall."

"After a narrow escape, I struggled to reach Congyun City, only to find that the Bai Family Demigod and the Garo Demigod fought there, with nearly half of Congyun City being destroyed."

"Yet even so, after dying, the Bai Family Demigod was not given due respect. The Federation not only deliberately downplayed his heroic deeds but also revoked all the rights of the three aristocratic families in Xida State, including his own."

"The Bai Family was forced to disband on the spot and relocate to another state."

"Now, the situation in the Real World is in shambles. I have no idea what the future holds and can no longer ensure your safety, so I wanted to tell you everything at this time and let you choose for yourself."

Fang Ze narrated the events of the past two days without much embellishment, merely detailing the facts. Even so, the sheer volume of information nearly caused the Flower God's brain to short-circuit.

It took her over a minute to respond with a face full of surprise, "Are you sure you're not lying to me? Did all this happen during the two days you were outside?"

Fang Ze nodded seriously. Perhaps fearing that the Flower God wouldn't believe him, he proactively took out his phone and handed it to her, suggesting she check the news online.

The Flower God took the phone and, half-believing, looked at the regional and state news. It was exactly as Fang Ze described, and even... worse in some aspects.

This time, the Flower God started to believe in the timing of Fang Ze's confession: After all, if the situation in the Spiritual Mountain suddenly changed, she would probably also make some arrangements in advance to ensure the survival of those around her.

'So, Fang Ze is indeed proactively confessing to me?'

Thinking this, the Flower God's gaze towards Fang Ze became much softer.

Of course, despite the newfound softness, she did not forgive Fang Ze just because he boasted "crimes"; she simply was willing to give him a chance. So, thinking of this, she asked, "Then why, when in Emerald City, did you sabotage my plans? And why did you choose to save me afterward? Aren't those actions contradictory?"

Hearing the Flower God's question, Fang Ze sighed lightly and then said, "Your Grace, you need to understand that I was also powerless."

"Although I am the director of the Security Bureau, I too have superiors. If I fail to complete assignments handed down from above, I'll be in trouble."

"Moreover... I was actually doing it for your own good."

"For my own good?" The Flower God looked at Fang Ze with a puzzled expression.

Fang Ze nodded and then said, "Yes. For your own good."

He continued, "Do you really think the Federation is unaware of your methods?"

The Flower God blinked.

Fang Ze pointed to the phone in her hand and said, "Are you stronger than the Absolute Pinnacle demigod from the Galan Family?"

The Flower God shook her head.

Fang Ze said, "He was killed by the Federation too."

The Flower God could not help but remain silent.

Fang Ze then asked, "Are you stronger than Dahei Jialuo?"

Again, the Flower God shook her head.

Fang Ze said, "He has already been controlled by the Federation's new technology."

If the death of the Galan Demigod only made the Flower God silent, the control over Dahei Jialuo truly shocked her.

She stared at Fang Ze, her brows deeply furrowed, "Controlled?"

Seeing Fang Ze nod in confirmation, she exclaimed incredulously, "Impossible! A demigod is indestructible; as long as they self-destruct, they can return to their divine form. How could they be controlled?"

Fang Ze looked at her and said, "Have you heard of the God Imprisonment Method?"

Upon hearing Fang Ze's words, the Flower God was stunned, then skeptically said, "But… isn't that secret method rumored to be false?"

Fang Ze chuckled, "How could it be false? If it really were false, why was the Si family exterminated?"

This time, the Flower God hesitated even more.

Seeing the Flower God gradually taking the bait, Fang Ze continued to reveal shocking information, "Moreover, the technology mastered by the Federation has eclipsed what your external world demigods could imagine."

The Flower God could not help but look up at Fang Ze.

Fang Ze spoke seriously, "The Federation has developed a method allowing aristocrats to transform into external demigods. Of course... only simulating their aura and appearance, not possessing the actual power and abilities of an external demigod."

Upon hearing this, the Flower God looked at Fang Ze with a bizarre expression, not voicing her disbelief, yet her thoughts were transparent: Do you think I'm a fool? You can spout such nonsense...

Before the last word "nonsense" even finished forming in her mind, she suddenly froze, eyes widened in disbelief.

Because, just as she thought this, Fang Ze slowly turned into a phantom before her.

The phantom was entirely black, had four arms, and a single eye on the forehead, with a gaze both sinister and solemn, exuding a sense of majesty mixed with eeriness. It was none other than the psychic-type demigod Dahei Jialuo!

At that moment, the Flower God was startled! She almost reflexively wanted to flee!

But just then, the "Dahei Jialuo" spoke, "Your Grace, now do you believe me?"

Hearing the words from "Dahei Jialuo," the Flower God instinctively halted her actions. She looked at the "Dahei Jialuo" suspiciously, and cautiously asked, "Fang Ze? Are you really Fang Ze?"

The "Dahei Jialuo" nodded, "Of course."
