Inside a bright and luxurious room, a half-human, half-demon girl slowly stood up and walked forward, embracing the slime in front of her. A sweet smile appeared on her lips, and then she turned around, opened the window, and looked at the noisy city in the distance. Numerous monsters were reveling in the grand festival under the brightly lit night sky.
"Ming Hao, Sally hates them. Sally wants to destroy them, but Sally also wants to save them."
The evening breeze gently caressed Sally's long hair. Under the night, the girl held up the slime in her arms and said with a serious face. At this moment, Sally had already figured it out. For those monsters who forcibly imposed a mission on her, Sally would personally destroy their hope.
But Sally also wanted to save them... However, Sally would only save those who were worth saving, such as those who still retained their self even after being eroded by the Gluttony Sin. Such monsters would become very good tools, possessing the value of being saved.
"Mm."
Lu Minghao looked at Sally in front of him, a smile appearing on his round body, a big smile. Seeing Lu Minghao's smile, Sally also smiled happily, then hugged Lu Minghao, turned around, and returned to the room.
......
......
Time slowly passed. In the blink of an eye, the originally noisy Calando had fallen into silence. On the brightly lit streets, a large number of monsters were drunk and lying on the ground in disarray. At this time, the only ones who were still awake were the soldiers guarding the city walls, still meticulously watching the dark wilderness outside the city walls.
But what these soldiers didn't know was that in some remote streets, suddenly the manhole covers were pushed open, and tentacles covered with fangs and giant mouths quietly stretched out from them, crawling towards the monsters lying on the streets.
"Don't lick me, it tickles."
In the corner of the street, a drunken lion-man mid-level monster suddenly felt a ticklish and slippery sensation on his face. He subconsciously raised his hand and pushed forward, muttering. In his opinion, it must be a drunken wolf-man monster hugging and licking him.
But the next second, a sharp stinging sensation came from his arm. Under the intense pain, the lion-man monster subconsciously opened his eyes, only to see a terrifying, disgusting, tentacle-like thing above his head. The tentacle was covered with giant mouths full of fangs, and his hand was being chewed by one of the mouths.
And that was the most important thing. The most important thing was that a hideous and terrifying mouth at the tip of the tentacle slowly opened, the chrysanthemum-shaped mouth filled with blood-stained fangs.
"Save..."
The terrifying and hideous scene made the lion-man monster subconsciously want to call for help, but as soon as he opened his mouth, the giant mouth above his head directly grew to the extreme and swallowed him in one bite. Several of the thinnest monsters on the side heard a slight noise, but only turned over, scratched their butts, and continued to snore.
But soon, these few monsters who were still snoring were swallowed whole by several tentacles, leaving only a trace of blood on the ground. In just a few minutes, the monsters on this street were devoured.
After sweeping this street clean, even though there were still a large number of monsters just across the street, these tentacles seemed to have received some kind of order and began to return to the sewers. Even the last tentacle specially picked up the manhole cover that had been blown off before it went in, cleaned up the traces, and then the cover returned to its original position intact as the tentacles retracted.
At the same time, different but similar scenes continued to appear in the most remote streets of Calando, close to the sewer exits. A large number of monsters disappeared silently from the world after the revelry.
However, at least compared to other monsters killed by the Gluttony monsters, they were much luckier. Before they died, they were not only full but also died in their sleep, without any pain at all.
"The erosion is almost starting."
In the dim room, Lu Minghao, who was being held in Sally's arms, suddenly opened his eyes and looked towards the city with a strange smile. At this time, the entire city, already covered by the Gluttony stance, had begun to change. Although, in order to experiment, Lu Minghao had thinned the Gluttony Sin that enveloped the city to the extreme.
However, nearly half a day was enough for low-level monsters and monster cubs to change, such as suddenly becoming bloodthirsty, hungry, or having a drastic change in personality. Moreover, with the erosion of the Gluttony Sin, they would either choose to become monsters or rely on their strong willpower to maintain their sanity under the erosion of the Gluttony Sin.
However, Lu Minghao didn't think that mere low-level monsters and monster cubs had the willpower to maintain their consciousness under the erosion of the Gluttony Sin, but this was the real world, and miracles always happened, didn't they?
Although, judging from Lu Minghao's experience of transforming countless Gluttony monsters, if he fully activated the Gluttony Sin, except for high-level monsters who could support it for a few seconds, all monsters below the high-level would be instantly eroded.
But Lu Minghao still had a glimmer of expectation. After all, this time the erosion was Lu Minghao's special effort to control the power of the Gluttony Sin to the minimum, giving the monsters time to adapt.
"I hope that some good 'tools' can be born, otherwise, they can only be transformed into disposable 'tools'."
In the dim room, Lu Minghao moved his body in Sally's arms, allowing Sally to hold him more comfortably. Then, Lu Minghao also closed his eyes and began to fall into a deep sleep. As for the changes outside, it would still take a long time. During this period, Lu Minghao didn't need to intervene in anything.
As for what the final result would be, it would depend on how many monsters could maintain their self under the erosion of the Gluttony Sin. As for those who couldn't maintain their self and became Gluttony monsters, they were just disposable 'tools' and 'food' for Lu Minghao.
This could be regarded as Lu Minghao's last mercy towards them, allowing them to go out and eat almost enough, and then return to Lu Minghao's side to successfully rest in Lu Minghao's body, becoming the nourishment for him to awaken and become a True Demon Lord. Thinking about it this way, Lu Minghao felt that he was a little too kind.
After all, for the monsters of this world, being able to awaken and become a True Demon Lord could be said to be their ultimate dream. Those monsters who became Gluttony monsters, after resting in Lu Minghao's body and being absorbed as a part of him, were equivalent to them awakening and becoming True Demon Lords... Congratulations, congratulations!
As for those monsters who could maintain their sanity under the erosion of the Gluttony Sin, Lu Minghao would transform them into subordinates and bestow upon them the power they desired. In this way, Lu Minghao would obtain 'tools' that he could use at will, and the monsters who adapted to the Gluttony Sin would obtain the power they dreamed of.
"Thinking about it this way, I am indeed a kind slime."
After sighing once again that he was too kind, Lu Minghao closed his eyes and began to fall asleep... Although slimes don't need sleep, Lu Minghao still retained some of his habits from when he was a human. If there was nothing necessary to do, Lu Minghao would devour the magic elements in the air with his [Gluttony] talent to pass the time at night.
At the same time, on the streets of Calando, some of the low-level monsters and monster cubs who were originally lying on the streets staggered to their feet, looking at the monsters lying on the ground with bloodshot eyes. A large amount of viscous liquid kept dripping from their cracked mouths, and a sudden sense of hunger was devouring their sanity.
"Eat... food..."
"So hungry... so hungry... give me food..."
Low, suppressed roars came from their mouths. Driven by hunger, they walked towards their compatriots who were lying drunk on the ground. Their slightly opened fangs gleamed coldly in the light, their eyes fixed on the necks of the monsters in front of them, as if they had already smelled the sweet bloodiness.
"Ah ah ah!"
"What are you doing!"
"It hurts!"
The next second, screams and roars rang out in the night sky one after another. The monsters who were originally asleep were awakened by the sudden sounds. When they opened their eyes, they found that something was lying on their companions and constantly tearing at them, swallowing with a satisfied look every time they bit off a piece of flesh.
Seeing this scene, the monsters who had just woken up from their drunken stupor were all frightened and began to mobilize their magic elements, intending to kill those who were tearing at their companions.
"Wait! Don't do it, they are our cubs and compatriots!"
Just as many monsters were about to act, a wind wolf finally saw clearly what was lying on his companion and tearing at him, and immediately roared to the sky to stop the other monsters from acting. After hearing the wind wolf's roar, the monsters who were originally planning to act stopped and carefully looked forward.
"It really is a compatriot, and... that's my cub!"
"What's going on, why did they become like this?"
After seeing clearly, many monsters roared in horror, rushing up to subdue those low-level monsters and cubs who were eating their compatriots, looking at their bloodthirsty faces and constant struggles, they were at a loss.
"Eat... give me food... so hungry..."
"Food... I want food..."
At this moment, intermittent voices came from the mouths of these low-level monsters and monster cubs. Seeing this, many monsters showed puzzled expressions, not understanding why they were crying out for hunger, but they still brought over the food that was left over from the previous banquet.
Then they watched them stuff all the food into their mouths and eat it, their small bodies like a bottomless pit, directly eating several times more food than their bodies before gradually stopping.
"What happened?"
At this time, a pair of solemn-faced monster soldiers fell from the sky, flapping their wings, and asked the many monsters in front of them. At this time, the faces of these monster soldiers were all serious and solemn.
