I'm Really Not The Demon God's Lackey Chapter 316: One of Our Own

Chapter 316: One of Our Own

Joseph was practically dumbfounded.

Despite his many years fighting battles on the front lines and experiencing fine margins of life and deaths as well as having gone through the vicissitudes of life, seeing a Supreme-rank being with a physical lack of a brain still caused his mind to go blank for a moment.

This... simply didn't make any sense!

When Raziel pulled his finger from his ‘skull cavity’ and laughed, the entire scene was an absurd, bizarre, and almost comical one.

But it didn’t elicit any laughter, just complete silence.

There was a singular expression on the faces of all present: a mix of horror and befuddlement.

Because they had all come to realize a simple fact.

If Raziel’s head was empty, by common logic, he was supposed to be dead.

Though Raziel was a Supreme-rank transcendent being, and the organ augmented most by aether for scholars was the brain (or in other words, the perk of scholars was the power of their brains), so there was no way the main body could have survived after such a vital organ was ‘destroyed’ to such an extent!

Who, then, was speaking and laughing with them at this very moment?

The ghost of Raziel? An apparition?

Evidently not.

Joseph had come across such undead lifeforms before, with their bodies made out of pure energy. Yet Raziel standing before them was clearly in his own body and there wasn’t any external spillover of power that he could detect.

He was literally talking to everyone without a brain, yet viewed it as if it was absolutely normal.

Could it just be his flesh, an empty sh.e.l.l with a consciousness of its own that is now thinking and speaking with us?

This absurd idea struck Joseph.

Or perhaps... Just as he said, Boss Lin has already done a reverse mind control on him. Moreover, it's not like Ymir, no, Raziel said he saw through and nullified it.

Perhaps contrary to that, Raziel's thoughts had already been manipulated by Boss Lin at that time. By the time he had the notion that 'having no brains means that he can't be controlled,' he had probably already lost his sense of self.

But he hadn't seen it and even reckoned that this was a logical option and blew his own brains out.

Now, this fellow standing before us is nothing but a puppet subjected to Boss Lin's will!

Joseph had a flash of realization and felt like he had grasped the truth.

However, deep down, he couldn't be one hundred percent certain.

The one in front was a true Supreme-rank, at a level where Joseph had yet to set foot in. And those thoughts that Joseph had were mere guesses... What if that seemingly absurd method could truly negate mind control?

However, if this speculation was correct, it would explain why Raziel hadn't come after them straight away and buried these bunch that had discovered the hidden secret in Machine Loop but was instead choosing to talk to them.

Joseph decided to test the waters first…
