"You could have been even more arrogant."
"That would be much more interesting than it is now."
Ning Feng sat on the throne, looking listlessly at Kalan kneeling below, and sighed:
I'm serious.
"If you really have that kind of courage, I'll think highly of you and maybe even give you a bigger reward."
Karan: "…………"
With his head bowed low, Karan showed no intention of raising it, wishing he could bury himself completely in the floor, and replied:
"Kalan wouldn't dare!"
"It was not my intention to offend you, sir. Please believe me, I will always be your most loyal servant."
"Oh? A servant?"
To this, Karan answered unequivocally:
"Yes, I will be your most loyal servant."
Even though she was powerful enough to become a demon lord who could rule over a layer of the abyss with her own power.
But under such absolute power, she still felt powerless.
Compared to the other person, I am far too weak and far too kind...
This sage is simply a collection of chaos in the world; he is truly terrifying.
He nodded upon hearing this, but Ning Feng then shook his head and said:
"Oh, I see. That makes me so happy, no, I should say I'm honored."
"Hahaha."
Guh.
Hearing that soft laughter, Karan tensed up and forced a dry laugh:
"My lord, you are too kind. It is my greatest honor to bring joy to others."
pleasure?
No, no, no... this should actually be called a fright.
If Karan could go back in time, he would definitely slap his foolish past self a few times!
What are you thinking?
How could such a terrifying existence be mere bluster?
How dare you doubt Him?
This wasn't because Karan experienced a sudden onset of mental instability, but rather because the harsh reality made her completely abandon her illusions.
The sage she was in now was many, many times more terrifying than before!
Perhaps mortals cannot perceive His power, and can only sense the sage's deliberate outward display of peace, but in Kalan's eyes, His true nature is laid bare.
A kind and approachable person?
Are you kidding me?!
Is this the latest joke from the Abyss? And it's not funny at all.
In Kalan's eyes, the sage sitting on the throne at this moment looked like a twisted Frankenstein's monster made up of countless souls.
Every moment, His body is constantly changing, twisting and repeatedly combining.
His soul was filled with countless fragmented souls; He devoured immeasurable death and built his throne upon countless bones!
It was only at this moment that Karan realized just how reserved the other person had been in front of him.
Aside from the few times He actively displayed His power, He gave Kalan the impression of being a being with a slightly wicked personality, but overall very peaceful.
Why has His true nature suddenly been revealed now?
Is it because there's no need to hide it? Or is it related to the awakening of the gods?
Or is it for some other reason? Did He sense his inner thoughts and thus give him a warning?
Just as Kalan was pondering, the sage suddenly blinked, then smiled with the youthful face of his beloved:
"By the way, if anything happens in the future, you can just pray to me."
Karan: "!!!"
Looking up, Karan asked uncertainly:
"...Do you mean I don't need to contact that person anymore?"
Information can now be directly transmitted to the Sage without needing to go through a follower; this is a step up in status, second only to the Sage.
But what about that person who is attached to you?
Where did he go next?
"He no longer exists, or rather, he has attained immortality."
The sage stroked his chin and said with a smile:
"Just think of it as... me waking up inside his body."
That's not entirely wrong.
However, no one knows that the Sage and Ning Feng were always the same person.
The sage spoke casually and in a calm tone, but the amount of information behind his words was immense.
Karan, upon hearing the result, breathed a sigh of relief and didn't take it to heart.
Possessing one's own followers is perfectly normal to a demon lord.
Despite being under immense pressure, Karan did not lose her composure; her legendary or higher abilities allowed her to maintain perfect control over herself.
After adjusting her breathing, she asked respectfully:
"My lord, is there something you need me to do that you have come here in person? You can give me your orders directly."
By deliberately using the body of a follower to personally come to the abyss, Kalan didn't think the other party was there for a vacation; they must have a special purpose.
"Your presence here in person may cause some unnecessary trouble, and other abyss lords may pose a threat to you."
That's the nature of demons; when they see an opportunity, Karan becomes the most threatening and ambitious of them all.
She will become a venomous snake in the shadows, ready to bite her owner at any time, and then turn the tables and become the new master.
She had succeeded once before, using the power of a sage to send her mother to her death.
In that usurpation, she gained immense power and authority, becoming the new demon lord. The sweetness of betrayal was etched into her soul, constantly tempting her to continue her rebellion.
However, when he realizes that the gap in strength is too great, any resistance is meaningless, and there is absolutely no chance of success, Kalan will make the most correct decision.
She will also be the most loyal dog, wagging her tail excitedly towards her owner and doing her best for her.
Her ambition hadn't disappeared; it was just suppressed deep within her heart, waiting for the right moment to reveal itself.
However, this time Karan's advice was unsuccessful, and the sage did not pay attention to the loyalty she deliberately emphasized.
"Hmm? Oh, it's nothing."
The sage seemed somewhat dazed. When he came to his senses, he smiled and waved his hand, saying:
"Don't worry, I'm just here to take care of a small matter."
"curious?"
Karan lowered his head, suppressing the curiosity in his eyes, and said in a deep voice:
"No, I wouldn't dare... but if you could let me know in advance, I could offer you even greater assistance."
After thinking about it, the sage realized that this was indeed the case and smiled easily:
"Oh, it's nothing. I just came here to find a new master for the Abyss."
"It's just a small matter."
"Yes, sir! I will definitely... eh?"
Looking up blankly, Karan saw a pair of cold eyes that were smiling.
Karan: ?
What did you say? ? ?
