"Huff, huff..."
Huangfu Yusheng gasped for breath, still somewhat shaken, as he looked behind him at the burning City of the Other Shore, his heart filled with horror and lingering fear.
This aura, this stance, is something he simply cannot contend with.
Fortunately, he used his abilities to make other strange creatures his scapegoats, which allowed him to barely escape from the dazzling fire.
Fine, let everyone, including the ghosts, think he's dead. That would be best!
However, the annihilation of the Mu Yun family was far beyond his expectations. Now, he fears he can no longer return to the Abyss.
Just as Huangfu Yusheng was pondering his next move, a cold yet familiar voice appeared around him.
"Long time no see, Huangfu Yusheng."
Huangfu Yusheng: !! !! ???
This...this is impossible!
Huangfu Yusheng slowly turned around and saw a girl in red holding an oil-paper umbrella on a broken tree trunk not far away. She was tilting her head and curiously looking at him.
"How...how did you know..."
"How would I know you were here?" Su Luo narrowed his eyes and smiled slightly. "Is it difficult?"
As Su Luo spoke, a tremendous mental pressure enveloped Huangfu Yusheng.
The five senses, which were originally elevated to their peak by the system, gradually evolved into something similar to spiritual power in the novels of the book madman after reaching the highest level. Just like in those fantasy cultivation novels, when spiritual power is fully activated, one can even scan the entire blue planet!
Finding the escaped Huangfu Yusheng will be a matter of minutes, a blink of an eye.
"Be killed after the contract is signed, or be killed directly. You choose one."
Before Huangfu Yusheng could speak, a contract talisman appeared before him, announcing his fate.
Huangfu Yusheng has the skill [Submission]. Su Luo is somewhat interested in this skill. With her current level of cultivation, she shouldn't need to fight; she can solve a lot of problems directly with this skill. At least when the [Abyss] attacks, she won't have to worry too much about the impact of low-star monsters on the apocalypse.
"A contract?!"
Huangfu Yusheng stared at the contract talisman in front of him with a grim expression, his face constantly shifting.
Previously, he was the one who decided life and death for others; no one ever decided life and death for him. But now, the Nine Netherworld Demon King City is destroyed, the [Abyss] Mu Yun family is wiped out, and his backing is completely destroyed. If he doesn't submit…
"I'm going to die anyway, so why should I be your lackey?"
Su Luo raised an eyebrow upon hearing this and smiled faintly, "Indeed, we all have to die, but there are many ways to die. For example, you can be cut in two, or you can be brought back to life. I can slowly torture you, wear down your spirit, and whip your body, or I can just kill you with one stroke... quick and easy."
Upon hearing Su Luo's threat, Huangfu Yusheng hesitated.
Yes, he has no chance to resist now; he has no choice but to die...
After thinking for a moment, Huangfu Yusheng signed his name on the contract paper with trembling right hand.
'Ding, a six-star monster contracted to the host has been detected: Huangfu Yusheng (Crown Prince). The host may name it as follows.'
'Monster Skill: [Submission] (Within the skill's range, one can force monsters or humans to obey their commands. The higher the user's level, the stronger the monster or human that can be forced, and the longer the range and duration. It can even distort and change the user's will!)'
'The creature's affinity with its host: 1'
Is it... such a powerful skill? It can even distort the user's consciousness, so wouldn't that force the Holy City Lord to deal with the invading foreign entity?
But it's just a thought; putting it into practice is not that simple!
Besides, it's only a six-star skill, not even at the domain level yet. I wonder if we can upgrade this skill!
The next second, Huangfu Yusheng felt as if he had fallen into an ice cellar. A thin layer of ice covered his body, then shattered and collapsed, and his consciousness vanished instantly.
...
The end times.
In a single day, the three great cities of the Demon Kings became a thing of the past, the Yellow Springs submitted, the Nine Netherworlds were replaced, and the Other Shore was destroyed. All of this pointed to one person.
Yes, one person simultaneously rules over both the City of Ghosts and the City of Humans. The currency in circulation has changed from mainly ghost money to mainly Los Angeles currency. The remaining ghosts are all in a state of fear, carefully storing their own bizarre copies, and some even regret coming to this apocalyptic world.
"Sister Luo is back! Sister Luo is back!"
Lu Fuling's excited voice echoed throughout the small house. This was the center of Luowang City, and no one living outside would ever imagine that the center of Luowang City had actually started out from a magnificent little house.
Although in this apocalyptic world, there was only daylight after Su Luo left, it did not dampen everyone's enthusiasm. They couldn't wait to light a bonfire and have a bonfire dance party in broad daylight!
Looking at the roast meat served by the gourmet, Su Luo inexplicably recalled his encounter deep in the forbidden area, and suddenly the roast meat in his hand no longer tasted good.
"What's wrong, boss? Have my skills deteriorated?" Looking at the untouched grilled meat, the food connoisseur stroked his chin, somewhat puzzled, before handing his freshly grilled skewers to the approaching Painted Skin.
"Boss Pi, come here!"
The food critic waved his hand and then stuffed a piping hot piece of roasted meat into Hua Pi's mouth, before asking with a hint of anticipation, "Boss Pi, how is it? How does it taste?"
Painted Skin: ? ? ?
Who are you calling? Who are you calling? Who gave you permission to call me that? Boss Pi, I'm amazed you even had the brain to come up with this. Is it good or not? My lips are blistering from the heat and you're asking me if it's good?
Upon hearing this, Huapi wanted nothing more than to punch the Gourmet Bangbang twice, but thankfully he managed to hold back. After all, with his current level of eight stars, those two punches would be enough to decide where to bury the Gourmet!
"It's alright, the same as before. What's wrong?"
Upon hearing this, the gourmet looked at Su Luo, and following the gourmet's gaze, the painted skin seemed to have also noticed something strange.
The things the boss has been eating lately... are getting closer and closer to the tastes of monsters!
Is this a change brought back by the Abyss?
Painted Skin and the Gourmet exchanged a glance. Su Meiren took a sip of her tea, noticed the atmosphere between the Gourmet and Painted Skin, and sighed inwardly.
In the end, did it still come to that point?
As a rose-like beauty who achieved the status of a three-star monster with a human body in this apocalyptic world, she naturally knows what happened to Su Luo.
Half-human, half-monster, she is both human and monster. Moreover, something else seems to have happened to Su Luo. In addition to the aura of humans and monsters, there is an aura that terrifies her from the bottom of her heart, as if it comes from the outside world and does not belong to this era!
"By the way, did you receive the gift from the boss?" Rose Beauty said, seemingly showing off, as she swirled the stemmed bone cup in her hand, the hot tea inside wafting out its aroma.
Looking at that tall bone cup, both the Painted Skin and the Gourmet were stunned, their eyes filled with envy.
No, they haven't received anything yet!
So, love will disappear, right, boss?
