What did He say?
What did I hear?
Am I hearing things wrong?
His smile froze, and Karan suppressed the urge to twitch his cheeks, confirming:
"...Excuse me, sir, I didn't quite catch that. Could you please repeat it?"
I must have misheard...
"Oh? Didn't you hear me, or do you not want to hear me? Oh well, whatever."
"Let me be more direct then."
The sage pointed to the smile on his face, grinning broadly:
“I said, I want to become the Lord of the Abyss.”
"…………"
? ? ?
"this……"
This is so strange.
Is He...?
"What's the problem?"
The sage raised his right leg, placed his interlaced fingers on it, and asked in surprise:
Do you think I'm not good enough?
Unworthy?
A sudden surge of vigilance from the depths of his soul jolted Karan awake, and he hurriedly spoke:
"No, it's not..."
But it was too late.
Hehehe.
Karan wanted to explain, but his throat could no longer produce a sound; he could only open and close his mouth repeatedly.
The shadowy figure loomed larger before her eyes, and the sage silently approached her, looking down at her.
The false warmth that once existed in their eyes has vanished completely, leaving only indifference.
"You actually think that way."
Using his cold fingers to lift Karan's chin, He spoke silently:
I am very disappointed.
"I'd like to ask you instead, why do you find it strange?"
As the sage asked his question, an inexplicable pressure silently descended upon Kalan's body.
It seemed that in the void, unknown to anyone, countless eyes were simultaneously casting their gaze upon her body and soul!
boom--
Her knees grew heavy, forcing her to kneel before the prophet, yet simultaneously, under the influence of another force, she maintained the posture of having her head tilted back.
Karan is not a weak woman without any power; she is a true demon lord, a terrifying demon capable of fighting against saints!
But now, she can only wait to be punished like a slave who has done something wrong.
!!
This should have been humiliating, something that should have sparked a desire for resistance in Karan, but for some reason, she felt no anger at this moment.
A strange sensation ran down my spine once again, spreading throughout my body.
Being watched, despised, bound, and awaiting punishment... Karan felt comfortable.
A twisted pleasure gradually took over her mind.
In her heart, she even subconsciously began to crave more...
"Oh."
!!
A sneer shattered all of Karan's illusions, bringing her back to reality and forcing her to confront the bleak truth.
Time seemed to pass in an instant, yet he remained in that shameful posture, yearning for his master's punishment.
The sage seemed satisfied, regaining his previous gentleness, and asked affectionately:
What do you think I lack?
"What am I lacking to become the Lord of the Abyss?"
His thumb gently stroked Kalan's chin, and He asked in confusion:
"Strength?"
"Do you believe there are beings in the abyss more powerful than me?"
More powerful than you?
There shouldn't be any.
Kalan wasn't boasting, but among the few remaining layers of the abyss, he wasn't considered strong; in fact, he was among the weakest.
However, she would not be helpless when facing other demon lords; she would have enough power to protect herself.
And what about the wise?
Given the current situation... there's nothing more to explain.
"Or are you referring to qualifications?"
"Do you think there is anyone more qualified than me?"
qualifications.
In this abyss, who is superior to this monster of unknown origin?
There is no one.
"…………"
Having figured all this out, Karan no longer cared about shame and knelt there blankly.
Yes, what was I panicking about before?
It seems like there's no problem at all, isn't there?
"See, you understand now, don't you?"
Releasing his grip, the sage shook his head helplessly and sat back on his throne.
Those eyes looked away, and the restraints on their backs and bodies disappeared as if they had never existed.
"Are there still any doubts?"
Rising from his spot, Kalan walked silently to the throne.
She knelt before the sage, lowered her head to gently kiss His toes, and humbly spoke:
"Welcome back to your most faithful abyss, my lord."
...
...
"That's a really interesting reaction."
Kalan left as instructed, while Ning Feng remained seated on her throne, rubbing her fingertips and savoring the sensation she had just experienced.
Or rather, he was savoring the emotions that Karan had previously conveyed to him.
"Some people may appear to be the sadist on the surface, but their true nature behind the scenes may be hard to predict."
"The contrast is quite interesting."
It looks fierce and domineering on the surface, but it softens up with just a light touch... Wait, something doesn't seem right with this description.
The line between abuser and victim is very blurred and can be reversed at any time.
The best hunters often appear as prey.
"However, as long as I retain my power, I don't have to worry about becoming someone else's plaything one day."
However, even the most cunning hunter becomes powerless in the face of true power.
