Chapter 87
The gap closed, as if it had never appeared, and silence returned to the warehouse.
Ennis collapsed to the ground as if he had lost his soul, gasping for breath. He pressed his right hand to his neck, turned on his cell phone, and saw through the reflection a horrible purple hand mark on his neck.
...That demon king really wanted to kill him.
He shuddered suddenly.
"Your Excellency? Your Excellency!"
The voice of a subordinate who felt something was wrong came from the camera: "How are you? You haven't appeared in the camera just now!"
Hearing this voice, Ennis came back to his senses. Almost subconsciously, he quickly wiped the cold sweat from his head, pulled up his collar, and then raised his voice and said, "I'm fine...!"
Because of his injury, his voice was particularly hoarse and strange, but even so, he gritted his teeth to control his voice, not wanting others to discover what had happened here.
But the question now is, where can he find another dragon ball?
Where can I find a treasure that can reduce the pollution of magical power?
It’s over…it’s all over!
His career was burned to ashes. He was made by monsters, and also destroyed by monsters!
Ennis, who was full of energy and vigor just a dozen minutes ago, was now completely in despair, sitting on the floor of the warehouse.
*
At this time, [home].
The self-contained harmonious environment was suddenly broken.
A gap suddenly opened up in front of the gloomy castle gate, and the black-robed man who fell into the gap in front of Ennis adjusted his body in the air in just a moment and landed safely on the ground.
The next moment, he lifted his hood, revealing a face underneath the hood that Ennis should have been very familiar with.
The black-haired boy lowered his eyes, twirled the dragon ball in his hand, and slowly curled the corners of his lips.
It is true that after searching for a long time, I finally found it without any effort.
Things turned out just as the player imagined. Even if he didn't go looking for the Dragon Balls, the mission would still fall on his head. After all, the player's luck in the game has always been like a Schrödinger's cat.
He reached out to his collar and pulled it outwards. The black robe that was always used to play the villain was torn off and thrown back into his backpack.
Then, he raised his eyebrows slightly and glanced at the group of monsters in front of him, who seemed a little excited because they had scared humans.
Especially those undead skeletons, the little flames in their heads were flickering and jumping, as if they were expecting their masters to give them some encouragement.
Su Xingyuan chuckled and said, "Well done."
Monsters: “!!”
It's no wonder they are so excited. They have been staying in their homes all along and cannot go anywhere. The greatest contribution they have made to the lord is to collect specialties from different dungeons.
Therefore, this event is their first expedition to fight for the Lord!
Perfect victory! !
The monsters danced wildly with joy.
Su Xingyuan even felt that they would open champagne to celebrate when they got back: "......?"
The thought processes of today's monster NPCs are indeed becoming more and more bizarre.
These monsters were refreshed after Su Xingyuan conquered the dungeon. They had never killed anyone and regarded Su Xingyuan as their complete master. There was no need to question their loyalty at all, so Su Xingyuan just let them be. He still had to work anyway.
Su Xingyuan tied the ribbon on his hand again and activated it with magic power.
The next moment, the familiar feeling of dizziness came again, and not long after, he returned to Atlantis.
In order to prevent himself from drowning, Su Xingyuan easily put on the [Assimilation Fish Tail].
But this time he didn't add the beautification package, and he swam leisurely towards the queen's palace in the original form of his fish tail.
"Stop! Who are you——"
The captain of the escort team immediately stopped him, but after seeing his appearance, he hesitated:
"...Su Xingyuan, sir?"
It looks very much like Mr. Su Xingyuan, but this mermaid looks... too ferocious, right?
You know, Mr. Su Xingyuan is famous in Atlantis for being both weak and strong at the same time, but at this moment, the appearance of this mermaid looks as if she can beat ten of him.
"Don't you recognize me now?"
The dark-haired mermaid sighed softly, but there was no sign of hurt on his face. He was not even bothered to play the "Guess Who I Am" game with the captain of the guard and swam directly past it towards the palace.
The captain of the guard was not as fast as him to begin with, and after being slightly distracted by the familiar words, he could not catch up. He could only watch the black-haired mermaid swim into the palace and come to the queen who was dozing with her eyes closed.
Of course, you have to hand over the task to the person from whom you received it.
The black-haired mermaid curled up the corners of her lips, revealing a perfect smile that was unique to gamers, a mixture of perfunctory and sincerity.
"I am here to deliver the mission, Your Majesty."
[Ding Dong!] The official adventure mission has been completed! 】
[Congratulations to the player for receiving the mission reward (complete): 1. Dragon Ball User Manual*1]
[2. The reputation of the Atlantis tribe reaches [Respected]]
[3. The secret realm will be moved to [Home], and [Ocean] section will be added to [Home]]
At this moment, the [Homeland] territory, which was already large enough, was rapidly improved, and its area expanded several times. The dungeons that were once far apart and could only be reached by the lords through teleportation were all connected by large expanses of deep blue sea water.
It has become a truly magical country.
The space seemed to be misplaced, and yet it seemed as if it should be so. In his home, Su Xingyuan looked downwards. Through the layers of sea water and those monstrous marine creatures, he saw the palace of Atlantis, and saw himself in the palace at that moment.
Then they stared at each other from a distance.
Almost at the moment their eyes met, Su Xingyuan felt that something had changed in himself.
He couldn't tell where exactly this change manifested itself. He withdrew his mental strength back into his body and just turned his head slightly, staring at his shadow projected behind him by the light of the night pearl.
In the shadow swaying slightly with the waves, there seems to be a magnificent city, hidden in the deep darkness, unnoticed by anyone.
That is... the city that belongs to him.
——His home, his territory, his support and foundation.
From this moment on, the player finally truly realized the bond between the profession of [Lord of Hell] and its special talent skill [King's Domain].
No wonder when I just got the [Shock] skill of the [Lord of Hell], I couldn't even deceive ordinary hell creatures, but now it is so easy to control Ennis, a human who was only corroded by magic and not even half-monster.
At that time, he observed that after using [Shock] this time, not only did he make the other party recognize his identity as the [Lord of Hell], his appearance even reduced Ennis's sanity and health bar by a certain amount, and added the [Neurasthenia] debuff to Ennis.
Home is the hell of the Lord of Hell, and building a home is also providing him with hidden attributes. If Su Xing were asked to find a word to describe it, it might be "career completion."
All this happened in just a few seconds, and soon he heard a respectful voice coming from behind him.
"Please allow me to reintroduce myself. My name is Phisia, the seventeenth queen of Atlantis. From now on, I swear allegiance to the human star source that protects Atlantis and the Atlanteans."
It lowered its always noble head and greeted the black-haired mermaid.
"Good day, my lord."
At some point, the Atlanteans surrounding the palace also felt this change. The absolute submission brought by the contract made them follow their queen and shout, "Welcome, Lord!"
Under such almost fanatical protection and support, there was no extra expression on the black-haired mermaid's face, as if it should be so and as it should be.
The more this happened, the more a layer of transcendent divinity appeared around him, blending perfectly with the suffocating shadow. Even though he accidentally revealed a bloody and terrifying aura at this moment, and the flaming crown on his head was vaguely taking shape like an illusion, it was still harmonious and integrated, forming a very special...
Signs like the coming of the Son of God.
Perhaps even the player himself did not notice what he looked like at this moment.
His thoughts drifted away for only a moment, and Su Xingyuan only briefly felt as if he was in a strange state that could not be described in words.
He first saw his own country, and then heard the sounds of surrender coming from all directions. His brain was dull and then extremely clear in an instant. The inclusive and vast spiritual power spread throughout every inch of his territory, patrolling his territory.

He came back to his senses quickly and didn't feel that this had any impact, so he didn't notice that the external manifestation of that state was like a fusion of a blockbuster composition with ten-level lighting and eight hundred layers of filters and a moderate blower.
"You can continue to be your queen here." Su Xingyuan said casually: "I don't have the hobby of managing subjects for others. You can go to Leafa for the tasks and work that the Atlantis tribe is responsible for..."
Having said that, he paused and looked at his [Home] operation interface.
After merging with Atlantis, the homeland was upgraded to the eighth stage. His control over the homeland became more refined and he could do more things.
So, he spent more than ten seconds to create an indestructible map of his home.
On the map, the locations of various underground cities are clearly visible, connected by ocean or land, lying quietly in Su Xingyuan's hands, like a fully formed world.
Su Xingyuan felt a little strange for a moment.
But he did not stop and continued to mark out the main characters. He referred to the marking method of special NPCs in online games and gave a big mark to Leafa, a manager-type NPC with important functions.
In this way, these guys who have newly merged into his territory will know who to go to for tasks.
In addition, the special NPCs that were marked include Ariel of the Kuli tribe, Queen Fesya of Atlantis, and the most powerful elder skeleton among the undead skeletons.
Su Xingyuan copied the map into several copies and distributed them to different dungeons.
After doing all this, Su Xingyuan fell into deep thought for a moment.
...Why do I feel that my territory is becoming more and more like an online game map?
There are main cities, tasks, special NPCs, beginner guides and even maps.
The remaining world bosses...
Su Xingyuan's gaze slowly moved towards the area of the [Home] body that marked the "Castle of the Lord of Hell".
