The capital of the Yist Kingdom, once a prosperous city, was now dilapidated. Magnificent buildings were reduced to ruins, and countless indescribable monsters roamed within the city. Grotesque tentacles devoured everything around them, even blood-stained stone slabs, which were swallowed and became part of their bodies.
Under the sin of gluttony, the city, which was originally dead, was constantly being revitalized and twisted. Lumps of writhing flesh grew on the ground, walls, streets, and collapsed houses. On the trees lining the streets, vague faces emerged, their gray-brown bark turning blood-red, and a large number of dark red veins covered the trunks.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
In the next second, trees rose from the ground, their roots replaced by tentacles that propelled them forward. The hideous faces on their trunks opened their mouths, filled with fangs, and used their tentacles to grab and devour anything they could.
Such scenes were commonplace throughout the royal capital of the Yist Kingdom. Or rather, the entire Yist Kingdom had become a paradise for gluttonous monsters. Even the clouds in the sky and the bacteria in the air were gradually twisted and corrupted by the sin of gluttony.
In the sky, [Summoner] looked down at the nightmarish scene unfolding below. A smile, never seen before, appeared on his indifferent face, as if he were witnessing the most beautiful and exciting scene in the world.
Beside him, Flora tilted her head, a gentle smile gracing her delicate face as she gazed at [Summoner], as if observing something incredibly amusing.
A day earlier, after leaving the small border town where Ariel lived, Flora had driven nearly a million gluttonous monsters towards the interior of the Yist Kingdom. Any villages or cities they encountered along the way were submerged under the army of gluttonous monsters.
During this time, Flora had also seen countless beings within the human cities similar to Ariel and her companions. However, this time, Flora chose to grant them the only fairness they had ever received in the world, equal to that of the human nobles and adventurers since their birth... death!
Until nightfall yesterday, Flora's army of gluttonous monsters encountered resistance from the Yist Kingdom, which had gathered a significant portion of its strength. However, faced with the increasingly numerous and completely insane attacks of the gluttonous monsters, as well as the pervasive corruption of the sin of gluttony in the air.
When the first ray of sunlight rose from the horizon, the so-called resistance of the Yist Kingdom was completely shattered. Countless ordinary soldiers were even corrupted by the sin of gluttony during the night and transformed into gluttonous monsters.
Moreover, all of this was based on the premise that Flora had been secretly collecting the souls of the dead humans and had not yet taken action herself. Incidentally, Flora, who had been in the shadows, also witnessed the scene of those human nobles, the king, and the strong all using teleportation magic to escape before the defensive line was breached.
Otherwise, it would have taken at least several more hours to break through the Yist Kingdom's defenses. After all, there were still several powerful humans on the front lines of the Yist Kingdom, but in the end, these powerful humans all chose to abandon their comrades and flee alone.
Flora paid no attention to those fleeing humans, because the sin of gluttony had already corrupted their bodies and souls. Even if their bodies were not yet significantly corrupted due to their great strength, as long as they were touched by a trace of the sin of gluttony.
With their strength, that trace of corrupted and twisted body and soul would gradually expand, twisting their bodies and souls. In the end, they would either adapt to the sin of gluttony and become her kind, or they would become mindless monsters, dominated by hunger and driven to madness.
Of course, in Flora's view, those fleeing humans would eventually turn into gluttonous monsters, because they simply did not have the courage to face and accept the sin of gluttony, nor the strong will to maintain their sanity under the mad corruption of the sin of gluttony.
Just as the gluttonous monsters were destroying the royal capital of the Yist Kingdom, this [Summoner] suddenly appeared in the sky above the capital, and even directly found Flora, who was hidden deep underground. Originally, Flora thought that she would be killed by the suddenly appearing [Summoner].
But he pulled her to fly above the royal capital, inviting her to admire the scene of the royal capital's destruction. He watched with maniacal laughter the scene of those royal family members before their deaths in the palace, even when the royal family launched the curse engraved in the depths of their souls, the [Summoner] just silently watched those royal family members being submerged and torn apart by countless gluttonous monsters.
It was as if the curse engraved in the depths of their souls had disappeared.
“Demon, did you create these monsters?”
At this time, the silver-haired [Summoner] turned his head to look at Flora beside him and asked, but a strange smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, as if he could see Lu Minghao, who really created the gluttonous monsters, through Flora's body.
“Are these [Summoner] adults planning to avenge your masters?”
Opposite him, Flora looked at the [Summoner]'s strange smile, a trace of elegant smile appeared on her delicate face, and she tilted her head slightly and asked back. For a time, the two of them looked at each other with smiles in mid-air, and the surrounding atmosphere became strange.
“Luo Yina, she should also be you or should I say your master’s doing, right?”
Half a minute later, [Summoner] suddenly lowered his head and looked at the constantly revitalizing earth below, and a faint voice sounded in mid-air. In fact, as early as when these monsters appeared, [Summoner] thought of Luo Yina, whom he had deliberately let go before.
That twisted and chaotic aura was exactly the same as Luo Yina, which was why when the royal family wanted him to go to the front line to stop these monsters a day ago, [Summoner] relied on his unique skill [Overlord].
He forcibly suppressed the curse engraved in his soul when he was summoned to this world. If it were normal, even if he relied on the effect of his unique skill, he could only last for less than a few hours, and it was impossible to escape the control of the Yist royal family.
It was precisely because of this that after being summoned to this world and understanding his identity, [Summoner] had been concealing the effect of his unique skill, until now, when the Yist Kingdom was destroyed, it was exposed.
Now, except for the king who escaped from the front line with space transfer magic this morning, the entire Yist Kingdom royal family has been wiped out, and for some reason, the king's soul seems to have fallen into chaos since he escaped, and he cannot control the curse engraved in [Summoner]'s soul.
That is to say, in the three hundred years since he was summoned to this world, he finally obtained the freedom he had always craved!
“Huh? Aren’t you going to answer?”
At this time, [Summoner] lowered his head to look at Flora in front of him, and found that she had no intention of answering his question at all, but just looked at him with a smile. Originally, he was planning to thank the existence behind Flora for letting him gain freedom.
However, if the other party doesn't plan to see him, then forget it.
As for joining the other party's forces to serve them in order to thank them for helping him gain freedom, [Summoner] never had such an idea in his mind. He finally gained freedom and he definitely wants to take a good look at this world.
Then find a place to live peacefully. As for things like ambition and dreams, he had thrown them all away in the hundreds of years he was controlled by the Yist royal family. Now he just wants to take a good look at this world and then find a peaceful village to live in forever.
It would be best to marry a gentle and virtuous wife and find a few maids... hehe!
“Then goodbye.”
In the next second, [Summoner] waved his hand to Flora in front of him and turned around and flew directly towards the direction where the sun was rising, with an expression full of anticipation on his face.
“Master, are we just going to let him go?”
In mid-air, Flora put her hand into two huge 'justice' and took out Lu Minghao's clone and asked curiously. Just now, when Flora discovered that [Summoner] had the idea of leaving, she secretly told Lu Minghao about this through the connection between the dependents.
However, Lu Minghao did not let Flora stop the [Summoner] from leaving, but just told Flora not to reveal her information.
“Don’t worry, we will meet again soon.”
Lu Minghao lowered his head and glanced at Flora's unfathomable gap, then raised his head to look at the figure of [Summoner] disappearing into the sky, a strange smile appeared on his round body. That summoner has already been contaminated with his sin of gluttony, although it is only a little bit.
But it is already enough, and Lu Minghao has a hunch that when he awakens to become a true demon king, the [Gluttony] talent will evolve again, even become a red talent. At that time, his sin of gluttony will be strengthened again.
Even become a existence similar to 'taboo'. As long as you hear or know about the rumors about the sin of gluttony, it is equivalent to having the memory of the sin of gluttony in your mind, and this trace of memory will gradually distort and corrupt the intelligent life that knows its existence.
That is to say, at that time, Lu Minghao's corruption of the sin of gluttony will sublimate into an existence similar to a thinking virus or forbidden knowledge. As long as you hear about its existence, you will be infected, and the more you understand the existence of the sin of gluttony, the more serious the degree of corruption will be.
“Yes, by the way, master, is the soul enough?”
Flora nodded after hearing Lu Minghao's words, then lowered her head to look at Lu Minghao and continued to ask. In the process of destroying the Yist Kingdom, Flora sent all the collected souls to the location where Lu Minghao's main body was through the veins in the flesh and blood land.
“Yes, it’s enough.”
“Then master, do you need to stop the gluttonous monsters from attacking?”
“No, continue, this time directly transform the entire Western countries into a country of gluttony.”
Lu Minghao's round body moved slightly, jumped to the top of Flora's head and looked at the gluttonous monsters that had already begun to move towards other kingdoms. Since Lu Minghao is going to do it, of course he won't give up halfway.
Not to mention the souls needed for Sally and the others to awaken later, just the fact that every demon king has his own kingdom, then it seems that there is no problem for him, Lu Minghao, to awaken and become a true demon king, destroy the Western countries and establish his own gluttony kingdom.
