Chapter 628: A Huge Harvest
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
“I’ve been a p.a.w.n since the beginning…”
Unable to bear such a reality, Frigga began to cough violently, her expression filled with sorrow.
She never thought that the dignified king of the Holy Dragon Kingdom, who had a glorious reputation throughout his life, would suffer the double blow of losing to Watson and being told such a cruel truth at the end of her life.
“Don’t feel sad about it. As a mortal, you’ve done pretty well.” The Primordial Demoness was not just comforting or mocking her. Soon, she s.h.i.+fted her gaze to Watson, saying, “But now I have a better goal. That young man’s ambition is greater than yours. If I can absorb his desire, I can become a king without a problem.”
“How about it? Do you want to sign a contract with me? I will be your partner from now on, as long as you allow me to have some desire every day.”
The Primordial Demoness’ four heads rotated in Watson’s direction, her tone entrancing.
“You don’t have the qualifications to be my partner.” Watson flew down from the air and stood face-to-face with the Primordial Demoness.
Frigga, the great king, had been tricked so badly after signing the contract with the Primordial Demoness. How could Watson dare to agree to her request? The Primordial Demoness could manipulate the emotions of others at will. Furthermore, she would only magnify specific emotions according to her mood. Even if Watson had the strength of a peak diamond-tier, he would not fall for it.
“I can see that you seem to be terrified of me,” the Primordial Demoness said as if she could sense Watson’s fear. “Fear is a positive feeling, but it is not as powerful as pride and envy! The emotion I admire the most in you is pride. You are merely a peak diamond-tier elite, yet you think nothing of everyone, especially G.o.ds. I am captivated by that tremendous pride.”
The Primordial Demoness wrapped her arms around her, closed her eyes, and took a deep breath. Her body was shaking all the while.
“You can only be labeled proud if you lack power. If you have strength, it is not pride but confidence.”
“So you think you’re very powerful?”
The Primordial Demoness opened her eyes and nodded. “Indeed, you can be considered powerful among humans if you can defeat Frigga, but that kind of strength is nothing in front of the G.o.ds. When I first possessed Frigga’s body, I was busy eating away at her emotions, so I did not attack you seriously! The seven G.o.ds that you met were unable to display their true strength. One day, when you ascend to the divine realm, you will know how vast the realm is and how powerful the G.o.ds are.
“I will provide you the same protection once you enter the divine world if you agree to let me be your companion. I will ensure that you do not fall until you have grown into an elite capable of dominating an area. Isn’t that a decent deal?”
Rumble!
The Primordial Demoness was met with an explosion rather than words. Watson reached out his right hand toward her. The light from the molecular acceleration traveled through time and s.p.a.ce to meet the Primordial Demoness. The radiance obscured the distance between Watson and the Primordial Demoness. The ma.s.sive shockwave caused by the explosion was contained by the expanding light, sending the Primordial Demoness’s body whirling and soaring.
Watson’s att.i.tude was serene as he maintained the pose of extending his hand. “I choose my future. Even though the G.o.ds are stronger than I expected, I will slaughter them ruthlessly if they stand in my way! As for you, I suggest you think about your own life before considering a contract with me.”
Even though the attack on Mount Creation was Frigga’s plan and the Primordial Demoness was just a.s.sisting, it had caused harm to his family and friends. He would not agree if he wanted to.
The chess piece hovering in front of Watson s.h.i.+fted shape once again. When the human chess piece fought Frigga just now, it transformed into a scepter, representing his undeniable identification as the king of humans. Faced with the Primordial Demoness, the race chess piece extended into a golden sword, emanating a commanding aura capable of severing anything.
With the golden longsword, Watson used the fusion system’s power to absorb the energy of everyone in the Holy Dragon Kingdom. Countless light b.a.l.l.s ascended into the air and were fused by him, tens of times boosting his strength. A sword light with the power to shatter the world emerged and cut across the Primordial Demoness’s flesh.
“Argh!”
The red smoke that const.i.tuted the Primordial Demoness’s body trembled as she screamed. It darkened considerably and split in two. At the same instant, a shattered chess piece glowing emerald green light and a mask adorned with seven diamonds fell off her body.
“Watson, you not only ignored my advice, but you also a.s.saulted me. You are certainly arrogant. The first of the seven sins is pride. If you commit the sin of pride, you will undoubtedly face serious consequences in the future. I curse you right here!”
The Primordial Demoness raced into the skies at breakneck speed, ignoring the elven chess piece and the Mask of Divinity that had fallen from her body. A ma.s.sive black hole erupted softly in the sky, producing a tremendous attracting force. It appealed to her.
Watson swiped down again with the king’s sword without waiting for her to enter the black hole. The dazzling strength of mankind coming together illuminated the entire planet. The sword’s aura, created by the acceleration of molecules, pierced s.p.a.ce and time. The body of the Primordial Demoness, which had already been sliced in half, was cut into even finer fragments.
Another gush of brilliant crimson blood poured from the Primordial Demoness’s corpse. It was followed by a verdant sapling and a ball of light tinged with seven distinct hues.
The Primordial Demoness’ body fragments poured into the black hole in the sky and disappeared.
Watson clicked his tongue and set down his longsword. He was unsatisfied that he could not stop the Primordial Demoness, so he s.h.i.+fted his attention to the few things the Primordial Demoness had left behind.
Aside from the elven race chess piece and the Mask of Divinity, the only items remaining were the G.o.d Slayer’s blood which Frigga gained by fusing with millions of Winter Nation troops, and the sapling, which was a little creature that was fused from all the elves. The final ingredient was a desire a.s.sembly known as the Desire’s Mother Core.
[Peak Starlight-tier item: Desire’s Mother Core.]
[Ability: the Primordial Demoness’ Crystallized Energy. Consuming the mother core of desire, you will obtain the power of desire. It can materialize the power of emotions into an attack. The power of emotions is immune to physical defense and can’t be canceled by ordinary attacks.]
Watson could not help but sigh as he considered Desire’s Mother Core characteristics. After being attacked twice, the Primordial Demoness lost many items. It was unfortunate that she had departed so swiftly. Otherwise, he thought that he would have earned greater rewards if she had stayed a little longer.
Each of the objects was higher than the starlight tier. Some of its worth could not even be calculated based on the level of the objects.. Watson had suffered a significant setback in the war with Frigga, but the gains had obviously outweighed the losses.
