Omnipotent Overlord

Chapter 370: Dancing Lake

Awo~

The cub yowled, but Li Mo waved him to stay put.

These waters can dissolve anything. Dont come over.

Li Mo was mighty fine though. That was because Guard covered him in earthen spiritual qi. Among the elements, earth was waters counter! 

The endless earthen spiritual qi blocked the acidic water. Li Mo only defended against any attacks the lakes might give.

The waves were savage at first, but they soon weakened until they werent even half a meter tall.

The radio on the shore had never stopped playing. Slowly, the waters attention slipped from Li Mo.

The water once again swayed to the music.

The lake was dancing.

Ye Xiaolu rubbed her eyes, not believing what she was seeing.

But the facts were in. The lake was indeed dancing.

Its the same as in my past life. From stranger to familiar, then to earning trust and becoming life and death companions!

Li Mo snapped his fingers, and the music stopped.

The water roared in fury and slammed into Li Mo again.

Li Mo bore with it in silence, letting the radio run again after the water calmed down.

The water slowly throbbed. She didnt have much energy.

Li Mo stopped the music again.

The water attacked, but this time it didnt last long.

Once she stopped, Li Mo turned on the music.

In this way, the water learned that as long as she didnt attack Li Mo, he would let the music play, let her dance.

Very good. Although far sooner, but your reaction is the same as before.

Li Mo smiled and extended a hand.

Breaking his guard, Li Mos palm now appeared completely defenseless.

Yet the water didnt attack and created a hand to shake his instead. 

The water hand didnt harm him at all.

If you behave, Ill let you listen to this great music every day.

The water hand held him stronger, as if to say she understood.

Then, quiet down.

The churning water stilled and turned perfectly silent, like a mirror.

Li Mo now had no reservations in going further in.

As he walked to the Elven Queen, the water parted.

Elven Queen, what do you think now, is she good or evil?

Elven Queen looked at Li Mo in a complicated gaze.

She hadnt been dissolved because she used her spiritual qi to fight back all this time. But in these thousands of years struggle, she had always been at a disadvantage.

No matter what you say, I wont believe she is good! Elven Queen stood up from the water.

The water roared to life in the form of a ten meter tall wave, to attack Elven Queen.

Quiet. Li Mo spoke and the water stilled.

S***, youre a freak! You didnt come here for the Elven Queen, but the water! Ye Xiaolu now saw Li Mos aim.

Of course, what else is there?

Li Mo held interest only for the self-aware Life Lake.

Elven Queen said, Life Lake is the sacred item of my Elven kind. We, Drows, found the Life Pearl from the water of the Life Lake. From ancient times we have always used the Life Lakes water. But at some point things changed and the water shifted.

She abhorred any that stepped on her and attacked any that tried to drink her waters. Many of our elven magical arts came natural to her. And she even has the trait of dissolving anything in the world.

So you sealed her.

I had no choice. If I hadnt, Endless Night would become a water planet.

She may listen to you know, but when she flips, she will corrode everything. The largest she had reached was when she flooded Endless Night city.

I ask that you do not play with fire.

She is water.

Elven Queen blanked out.

Ye Xiaolu called, Queenie, want to be his mistress?

The Elven Queen blanked twice.

Let me tell you what will happen if you keep holding her back.

And do you know what is happening outside at this moment?

What? Oh, those people just now Elven Queen exclaimed.

The alien coalition has invaded Endless Night. Your people are in their hands. If you choose to seal the Life Lake now, they will all die.

Why have they come to Endless Night? Endless Night has nothing. Why are they doing this?

If it were for Life Pearl, then they already have it.

Elven Queen asked.

Li Mo said, Theres a saying on Earth, Drows are convenient.

Convenient? What do you mean?

Ye Xiaolu giggled, Lie down, lift your skirt, stuck your ass his way and youll know.(T/N: she made a pun on the literal sense, which is lay and thrust)

Shut it.

Convenient means you are innocent but the alien coalition needed a hub from which to attack us, Earth.

So they chose Endless Night?

Yes.

Damn those bastards!

Elven Queen gestured, and something floated out of the water into her hand.

It was a scepter, Drows second sacred item.

Hum~

The instant the scepter rose, the water roiled. It was not only getting louder, but it was also expanding.

Without the Elven Scepter and the queens power, the Life Lake was free. 

Human, you better not be lying or the Elven Goddess will not spare you!

I do not have to lie.

Elven Queen glanced at the rumbling Life Lake and flew away.

Li Mo said, Quiet, you havent reached maturity yet.

The roiling water stilled.
