Inside the dim cavern, a man and a woman gazed intently at each other. Above them, tentacles covered in fanged maws intertwined and coiled, forming blossoms of flesh. Beneath these petals, the man and woman stared into each other's eyes, the exceptionally handsome man wearing a faint smile, radiating warmth.
"You brought me here. What exactly do you want?"
Nina looked at the smiling man before her, her tone softening slightly. Even if he was a monster, a slime, he was at least a fellow countryman. The thought that she might not be the only survivor from Aericia filled Nina with a sense of solace.
At least Lu Minghao's existence proved that Aericia had once existed, that its deceased inhabitants had once lived in this world.
"It's simple. I want you to become mine."
Lu Pingan looked at Nina, his eyes filled with undisguised possessiveness. This wasn't the possessiveness of human desire, but rather the possessiveness towards an object. In Lu Minghao's eyes, Nina was simply his perfect natural subordinate.
Her heart, filled with hatred, her pure and extreme anger and resentment, were the perfect nourishment for his ultimate skills, [King of Evil] and [King of Original Sin]. Coupled with her undying hatred for the Eastern Empire, she was simply too perfect for Lu Minghao.
He had already decided. He had to make Nina his subordinate, and Nina would be his first step in launching a revenge against the Eastern Empire.
"Become yours?"
Nina's face showed a hint of confusion upon hearing Lu Minghao's words. Was Lu Minghao asking her to submit to him? But Lu Minghao's expression didn't suggest that at all.
"Yes, become my subordinate, accept my power, become entirely mine from body to soul. In return, I will support your revenge. After all, the Eastern Empire is also one of my enemies. I was treated so well as an experimental subject by the Eastern Empire back then. How could I not return the favor?"
Lu Minghao looked at Nina with a smile on his face. With Nina's current strength, becoming Lu Minghao's subordinate and receiving the Demon King's blessing would directly make her a Demon King Seed, and a very powerful one at that.
At that time, if Lu Minghao were to bestow upon Nina the power of [King of Evil], making her a part of the Abyss of Evil, then he would directly obtain a perfect 'tool' with powerful combat strength, and who wasn't afraid of death.
Then, he could directly have Nina, carrying an avatar, infiltrate the Eastern Empire, and secretly erode the territory and life of the Eastern Empire, creating a large number of Gluttony monsters. Although, with the strength of the Eastern Empire, it wouldn't be like the Western countries, unable to resist.
Most likely, the Eastern Empire would dispatch a large number of powerful individuals to easily eliminate all the Gluttony monsters, but so what? Anyway, both Nina and Lu Minghao's avatars could be discarded at will.
As for the born Gluttony monsters, they could be given to the strong of the Eastern Empire to kill, and the dead Nina and Lu Minghao's avatars could be resurrected at Lu Minghao's main body at will, and go to the Eastern Empire again.
In short, even if the current Lu Minghao didn't have the strength to be an enemy of the entire Eastern Empire, he could still disgust them in secret, and collect information about the Eastern Empire, waiting for the strength to be sufficient to devour the entire Eastern Empire in one fell swoop.
"Revenge! Are you saying you will give me the power of revenge!?"
Upon hearing that Lu Minghao could support her revenge, two flames suddenly ignited in Nina's dark pupils. She immediately grabbed Lu Minghao in front of her and asked. She didn't care about anything else now. She was willing to pay any price for revenge.
Even if it meant accepting Lu Minghao's power and turning into an indescribable monster!
"That's right, after all, I already have a grudge against the Eastern Empire. How could I possibly stop you?"
Lu Minghao said, raising his hand and placing it on Nina's head, beginning to think about what other things to add to Nina later. After all, she didn't have horns on her head, wings on her back, and a tail always felt strange, completely different from their art style.
"... Master!"
Nina raised her head and looked at Lu Minghao, who was stroking her hair. After a few seconds of silence, she directly knelt on one knee and submitted to Lu Minghao. She was a witch of revenge. She was willing to pay any price for revenge, including herself.
"Very good."
Lu Minghao smiled gently as he looked at the surrendered Nina, stroking her head with his palm, allowing the chaotic, twisted power of Gluttony to begin to emerge. The substantial power of Gluttony flowed continuously into Nina's body like water. As time passed, Nina was completely enveloped by the endless power of Gluttony, turning into a pitch-black humanoid egg.
Subsequently, a tentacle stretched down from the flower of flesh above, grabbing Nina and embedding her in the center of the giant flower of flesh. As the numerous tentacles continued to wriggle, a large amount of nutrients began to flow into it continuously, allowing the slumbering Nina to begin to grow rapidly.
"Alright, then it's time to continue with the main business."
After glancing at Nina, who was slumbering above, Lu Minghao turned around and looked into the distance. That was the cemetery Lu Minghao had prepared for the heroes, and now it was time to complete the final step in preparing the cemetery.
"Sally, have Adelas and the others returned yet?"
The next second, Lu Minghao turned his head and asked Sally beside him. To make the heroes who were fighting Adelas and the others return in time, Lu Minghao had deliberately allowed Adelas and the others to be temporarily sealed by the heroes through the subordinate connection.
And now, the main body had sensed that the four heroes besides Trina had successfully returned to the fortress, which meant that Adelas and the others who had fought them had been sealed.
"It seems that Leiwoode hasn't returned yet."
After counting on her fingers, Sally raised her small head and looked at Lu Minghao and said. One day ago, except for Leiwoode, the other three Demon King Seeds, Adelas, Angelica, and Oz, who had already merged, and Chris had successfully returned.
They are currently absorbing a large amount of nutrients to restore the magic power consumed and the damage suffered during the previous battle with the heroes. By the way, Luo Yina, who was originally staying in the Jura Forest, also learned about Lu Minghao's plan.
She clamored to come back to help Lu Minghao, but because Limuru has now successfully formed an alliance with the Lizardmen and other monsters in the Jura Forest with the help of the tree spirit Treyni, and is preparing for the war with the Orcs.
Therefore, Lu Minghao directly rejected Luo Yina's request to return. After all, her most important task was to stay by Limuru's side, so that Lu Minghao could know what happened on Limuru's side, and gain their trust.
However, at present, it seems that Luo Yina has done a very good job in gaining the trust of Limuru and the others, and has even become the second largest combat power in the Limuru camp besides Limuru. In addition, that young appearance and child-like personality is simply their favorite.
"Leiwoode hasn't returned yet? Could it be that this guy was really sealed by the hero?"
After hearing that Leiwoode hadn't returned, Lu Minghao subconsciously thought that this guy had really been sealed by the hero, but when Lu Minghao sensed through the clan connection, he found that Leiwoode was staying in his original kingdom.
At the same time, inside the original Leiwoode Kingdom's palace, a three-headed giant snake, nearly five thousand meters long, coiled up like a high mountain, was now looking at everything in front of it with a 'holy shit' expression.
