Inside the former Royal Palace of the Leiward Kingdom, the once luxurious palace was now a scene of ruins. In the center of the ruins, a massive monster was constantly writhing. The lower half of this monster was a snake tail nearly a thousand meters long, while the upper half had the appearance of a human, with an enchanting face and two masses of flesh comparable in size to houses.
At this moment, this half-human, half-snake monster was slumbering atop the ruined palace. The mere slight movement of its massive body caused the surrounding ground to tremble violently. On the monster's head, countless giant snakes of varying lengths formed her hair.
Of course, these were not the things that made Leiward feel like swearing. The reason he was in such a state was entirely due to the giant snakes on the monster's head that resembled hair strands. They all had blood ties with it, meaning the monster's hair was entirely made up of her offspring.
As for the half-human, half-snake monster beneath the hair, it was Leiward's former mate!
He still remembered that after becoming Lu Minghao's subordinate, he had the wild idea of whether his offspring could directly adapt to the Gluttony Sin and become Lu Minghao's subordinates. So, acting on impulse, he not only summoned his original hundreds of mates, each a snake-like monster over fifty meters long,
but also gathered all the female snake-like monsters in the entire royal capital at the time and began to breed with them until Lu Minghao awakened as a true Demon Lord and he left.
After Lu Minghao's awakening, he had been leading the Gluttony army to invade the Western nations until yesterday when he returned here. Originally intending to go directly to the graveyard Lu Minghao had specially built for the heroes, Leiward suddenly felt a strong blood connection halfway there.
Following the blood connection, he returned to the original Leiward Kingdom and saw the scene before him. Everything now completely stunned Leiward. His offspring and his former mate had merged into one, becoming a half-human, half-snake monster.
"Medusa?"
At this moment, Lu Minghao, who had just teleported over through the subordinate connection, also saw the half-human, half-snake monster before him. The familiar appearance was exactly like a certain being in the mythological stories Lu Minghao had read before his transmigration, and he subconsciously spoke the name.
"Master!"
Beside him, Leiward, who was still struggling with whether the monster in front of him was his mate or his offspring, subconsciously turned his three heads and, upon seeing Lu Minghao, hurriedly called out, his six snake pupils revealing anxious expressions.
Of course, what he was worried about was not the half-human, half-snake monster in front of him. Even if it was composed of his offspring and mate, it was impossible for Leiward to care much about it. After all, he was inherently cruel, and it was only under the [Gluttony Sin] talent that he would be completely loyal to Lu Minghao.
What he was worried about now was that he had not arrived at the first time when Lu Minghao summoned him, and he was worried that Lu Minghao would punish him for this.
"What is this thing?"
Lu Minghao glanced at Leiward and was not angry that Leiward had stayed here. After all, there was still some time before the official battle with the heroes. Lu Minghao believed that Leiward would return before the real battle arrived.
As for why he teleported here, it was because when he sensed Leiward through the subordinate connection, he found a peculiar aura beside him that attracted him. But Lu Minghao did not expect that what he sensed would be this thing.
"Master, actually..."
Seeing that Lu Minghao was interested in the half-human, half-snake monster in front of him, Leiward quickly told Lu Minghao everything he had done in the past, along with his original thoughts.
"You really are a genius."
After listening to Leiward's explanation, even Lu Minghao's mouth twitched involuntarily. He had never thought of such a thing, but Leiward had actually done it. He had to say that this guy was really a genius.
Afterward, Lu Minghao turned and flew toward the half-human, half-snake monster below. In Lu Minghao's perception, this monster had countless auras similar to those of Gluttony monsters, but these auras did not have the madness and distortion of Gluttony monsters.
These auras were also constantly merging, gradually forming a whole. Lu Minghao guessed that the Medusa-like monster was composed of many snake-like monsters, and the main part was a high-level monster, which led to the appearance of a human upper body and a snake lower body.
As for being in a constant sleep, it should be because many monster souls were gathered in one body and were now fusing with each other. When only one consciousness remained, the monster would awaken and become Lu Minghao's subordinate in the Sin series.
It was similar to Flora, who had perfectly adapted to and accommodated the Gluttony Sin before being given the power of Gluttony.
"Life is truly full of surprises!"
Lu Minghao stood on the half-human, half-snake monster's body, looking at her massive body. Upon closer inspection, Lu Minghao realized that the monster's body was not born in this form, but was composed of countless snake-like monsters under the erosion of the Gluttony Sin. Underneath the delicate skin, one could still see wriggling snake bodies, merging into one under the chaotic and distorted power of the Gluttony Sin.
"Since you've worked so hard, then I'll help you one more time."
In the next second, Lu Minghao placed his hand on the half-human, half-snake monster's body. Endless Gluttony power soared into the sky and then directly poured into its body. Under the guidance of the Gluttony power, the half-human, half-snake monster's body and inner soul began to merge rapidly, gradually becoming a completely new individual.
When the sun set in the west and rose again in the east, the half-human, half-snake monster slowly opened her massive eyes under the first ray of morning sun. Her body, thousands of meters long, sat up directly, looking at Lu Minghao floating in the air.
"Medusa, your name is Medusa."
"Yes, Master."
Medusa looked at Lu Minghao in front of her and nodded. A seductive smile appeared on her enchanting face, her voice soft and alluring. In addition to her clearly enchanting yet innocent temperament, everything except Lu Minghao was instantly attracted to Medusa, wanting to breed with her and give birth to the next generation.
And this was the effect of one of Medusa's two unique skills awakened at the same time as her birth, [Beauty], the only effect of this unique skill was beauty, making Medusa's charm and beauty transcend the boundaries of race, gender, and even biology.
Sure enough, Leiward, upon seeing Medusa's smile, immediately turned all three of his snake heads blood red and rushed toward Medusa, his massive body wanting to directly entangle Medusa, but unfortunately, he was slapped away by her tail as soon as he approached.
Her enchanting face was full of contempt and disdain as she looked at Leiward. The newly born Medusa did not care for Leiward. In addition to her special birth and the large amount of Gluttony power given by Lu Minghao, Medusa now possessed power surpassing Leiward.
"Alright, it's time to go back. Also, Leiward, Medusa is already a completely new existence."
After saying that, Lu Minghao disappeared directly into the air, and Medusa also followed Lu Minghao to teleport away. Only Leiward, who had just recovered his sanity from Medusa's skill effect in the distance, looked at the position where Medusa had just been with lingering fear.
Now that he had regained his sanity, he had no intention of finding Medusa again. Under Medusa's skill effect, he had completely lost his mind, and even at that time, he might have committed suicide if Medusa had said a word.
Thinking of this, Leiward quickly shook his huge snake head and then teleported away from here, secretly deciding in his heart that unless Lu Minghao summoned him in the future, he would never approach Medusa.
