Watson was merciful to everyone, even King Landhar III. However, it was clear that King Landhar III did not repent because of his kindness, so no one should blame him for being unkind.
Watson extended his right hand toward King Landhar III and pressed it against his chest. The human chess piece on his chest flew out with a glow, creating another King Landhar III next to the original one. The two kings immediately turned into rays of light and fused in midair.
[Congratulations, Master, for fusing with two diamond-tier peak elites and obtaining a starlight-tier servant.]
[Starlight-tier servant: King Landhar III (Frier)]
[Position: King]
[Abilities: controls the authority of the original Holy Dragon Kingdom’s seven gods and a part of the original Demoness.]
[Additional abilities: God of Royal Authority (the upgraded King Landhar III is a god that symbolizes secular royal authority). He controls the royal authority of the divine kingdom and can forcefully control the thoughts of others, turning them into his puppets.]
After the fusion, information about the fused King Landhar III appeared in Watson’s eyes. Other than the aura on his body appearing stronger than before, the newly fused King Landhar III was no different from before.
“Greetings, Honorable Master.”
The fused King Landhar III shook his head, then knelt on one knee before Watson with respect in his eyes. He was no longer the previous emperor who had schemed against Watson. Instead, he was Watson’s most humble servant.
“Get up.”
Watson waved his hand; his expression seemed conflicted. If he could, he would have fused King Landhar III because there were many secrets that he still did not know. For example, how many experiments had King Landhar III done over the years to resurrect Avril, how many people like Sven had been harmed, and how King Landhar III had colluded with the gods.
Those were the crimes that Watson knew. He could force King Landhar III to answer those questions, but there were still many things that he did not know. Without questions, he would not have the answers.
“King Landhar III should know the power I have. Based on his personality, he would not have fallen out with me before he could fight me. Why was he so reckless this time? Not only was his technique simple and crude, he did not even resist after I discovered him. Instead, he chose to commit suicide. Something is not right. ”
Watson narrowed his eyes.
He did not feel at ease after fusing King Landhar III, and he even felt uneasy. It was as if he did not see that King Landhar III had taken every step of the way to scheme against him; he only made a mistake at the very last stage. Otherwise, he would not be able to stand there so comfortably. Since King Landhar III had plotted against him again, why were his methods so different from before?
While he was thinking, the air around him began to vibrate. Nia, who had flown away, had returned. She was holding a few elves led by Delta in her hands. All of them had fainted. Those elves were holding the black viscous liquid that King Landhar III had just given them.
“Master, my mission is complete.”
“Well done, Nia. Take those elves and King Landhar III to my room. I’ll interrogate them properly later.”
After praising Nia, Watson forcefully suppressed the uneasiness in his heart. He turned around and flew toward his residence in the planetary fortress.
At the same time, there were nine huge starlight barriers outside the planetary fortress.
Those nine starlight barriers stretched across the sky and earth. Regardless of whether they were creatures flying in the sky or underground, as long as they were below the starlight tier, they would not be able to break through those barriers. However, in the outermost of those nine starlight barriers, a fist-sized hole suddenly appeared in a specific spot. A mass of dark red liquid crawled out of the hole.
When it emerged, there was no reaction from the starlight barrier. After the scarlet liquid left the starlight barrier, it squirmed in the air and took the outline of a young girl’s body. The girl’s eyes were red, and her hair was rather strange. It seemed to be alive and was dancing in the air. Her hair also had snake heads with their tongues sticking out. If one looked carefully, one would discover that it was just hair.
The strangest thing was the girl’s face. If Watson were there, he would definitely cry out in surprise. That was because that girl’s face was 70 percent similar to King Landhar III. If one compared her to his daughter, Kiana, the similarity could be as high as 90 percent.
“Wow, I’m finally out. This way, half of the second step of the plan is already successful.”
The girl stretched her body and turned around to look at the hole that was recovering in the starlight barrier. The corners of her mouth curled into a meaningful smile.
“It’s all thanks to the Primordial Demoness’ power that I saved when I was annihilating the Demoness cult! It’s also thanks to Watson, who used the thing in his body to fuse the death-elemental magic source, raising the world’s level and allowing the gods to have the ability to walk on the continent. That’s why my plan will succeed.”
That girl was King Landhar III himself. As for why he had become like that, well, it was a long story.
“The only flaw in this body is that it’s a woman, which is not really suitable for being used.” King Landhar III’s charming words were filled with helplessness as she looked at her full bosom.
At that moment, her red hair twisted into a snake’s head and spoke in human language, “Frier, you’re too greedy. I control the Yin power in the universe, which can turn you into a powerful woman. Right now, you have already grasped the power of a starlight-tier elite. You have also transformed from a human into an evil god race, Medusa. What else are you dissatisfied with?”
“Primordial Demoness, I’m not unhappy about that. I’m just complaining. Alright, let’s cut the crap. It’s time for me to move on to the next step of my plan. I’ll let Watson be happy for a while and immerse in the joy of dealing with me! He should have already fused my body, but unfortunately, he had only fused an empty shell. The real me had already broken away from the shackles of that body. Now that I am no longer a human, it would not matter if he used the fusion magic or the race chess pieces—they could not do anything to me. The next time I returned to the Holy Dragon Kingdom, it would be the time to obtain the power in his body. Primordial Demoness, I’ll need you to help me in the future.”
King Landhar III’s scarlet eyes glinted before they turned into the shape of a poisonous snake. His voice drifted in the air.
He had not truly eliminated the Primordial Demoness, who had given him that power.
The army he had sent to destroy the Demoness Church was just an illusion. The truth was that the Primordial Demoness had always been attached to his body. That was also why he had the confidence to face the kingdom’s seven gods. As long as he was willing, he could use the Primordial Demoness’ power to advance to the starlight tier at any time. He could confront those gods head-on.
The Primordial Demoness was an ancient and mysterious existence. Not many people in the Holy Dragon Kingdom know about her. Only a small portion of those who survived the extermination of the Demoness cult knew about her. The Primordial Demoness possessed a strong power called the Cosmic Yin.
“Frier, there’s no need to be polite with me. You’ve already collected enough emotions from high-tier creatures for me to successfully advance from the starlight tier to the peak of the starlight tier. Just treat that as my reward! It’s also beneficial to me if you can obtain that thing. After all, the energy I need to advance is different from other gods. I don’t need to absorb powerful energy. I only need the endless desires of other living creatures. I hope that it can nourish my insatiable heart.”
“Of course, as long as I obtain that power from Watson’s body, not only will that world’s future become our paradise, even the divine realm will also become ours. The world will change for us. I wish for your pleasant cooperation in advance.”
King Landhar III’s figure disappeared in midair with a light laugh, leaving behind only a faintly discernible voice.
“Oh, right! Frier, now that you’ve transformed into a woman, calling you by that name is no longer appropriate. Should I give you a new name? What about the name Frigga?”
“Frigga? Let’s not be hasty.”
