Jiang Wang ate his fried chicken burger, his mouth greasy, but he wasn't annoyed at all.
He ate voraciously while drinking some unknown brand of cola, a satisfied expression appearing on his face.
"So, what brings you here, Miss Soul-Sucking Evil Woman?"
Jiang Wang said, picking up a tissue to wipe his mouth, and also letting out a burp.
Although the Soul-Sucking Evil Woman ordered food, she had no desire to eat it at all.
Jiang Wang didn't stand on ceremony. Seeing that she wasn't interested in these high-calorie foods, he simply snatched them away and ate them with relish.
He ate two servings of fried chicken burgers, a long-awaited treat he was definitely going to enjoy.
Whether in the orc world or the mushroom world, he didn't get to eat anything good.
Although he got his hands on the Happy Mushroom, he hadn't even had a chance to try it yet, and his mouth was already practically tasteless.
While he could cook some good food inside the Zerg base, he wasn't entirely satisfied.
Now that we're indulging in a delicious meal, there's nothing to hide.
"I've come to convey Lord Shuten-dōji's message; he wishes to invite you to join the World Serpent."
The evil woman who gathers souls gets straight to the point, showing no intention of chatting or exchanging pleasantries with Jiang Wang.
"Oh? I'm quite interested. Okay, I agree to join you."
Jiang Wang said, "He started spouting nonsense as soon as he opened his mouth."
Of course he wanted to "join," whether it was for the World Serpent's purpose in coming or to absorb the techniques of the World's origin.
All of this is what Jiang Wang wanted.
If you can get all of this by pretending to join them, why not do it?
"You agreed too readily; anyone could see there was something wrong with you."
The Soul-Sucking Evil Woman began to complain, revealing that she was not a serious person.
"You should give me a token of your loyalty, right? Tell me, what should I do?"
Jiang Wang said that he had finished both sets of fried chicken and burgers.
He ate heartily and is now patting his stomach, watching the other person with great interest.
“What I said before wasn’t all a lie; a team from the Temple did arrive ahead of schedule.”
“Go and kill them all, and it has to be in full view of everyone, with everyone seeing it.”
"We must also spread the word about life everywhere and completely sever ties with the Temple."
Rather than a pledge of allegiance, it was more like a small test.
Whether or not they kill the people of the Temple is of no concern to them.
What they need is for Jiang Wang to completely sever ties with "the other side" and fall completely into the abyss.
"I see. What benefits will I get if I join World Serpent?"
Jiang Wang asked, a smile appearing on his face, as if he were genuinely considering whether the matter was feasible.
"You will possess the immense power to conquer ninety million worlds."
"You've probably heard this saying before: in the ninety million worlds, there is no right or wrong, only strength and weakness."
"Absolute power means absolute correctness. As long as you are strong enough, you can sweep away everything."
"The Soul-Sucking Evil Woman said, narrowing her eyes, a hint of fanaticism appearing in those empty, hollow eyes.
"And we, the World Serpent, can grant you this power."
She said this, and smiled at Jiang Wang.
Ultimately, this guy didn't clearly state what benefits he would receive after joining.
What she said was just empty talk, it had no meaning whatsoever.
Anyone can say these nice words; it's like a ruthless company boss making empty promises to his employees.
Give us something tangible, like a raise or a holiday.
World Serpent wanted to invite Jiang Wang to join them, but it didn't provide any detailed explanations.
Jiang Wang did not sense the slightest bit of sincerity from the Soul-Sucking Evil Woman.
It's likely that he actually did as they said and killed those people.
They would then refuse Jiang Wang's application to join, and Jiang Wang would be branded with a bad reputation.
The World Serpent eliminated an enemy and also alienated Jiang Wang from the Temple.
This is probably their scheme.
If Jiang Wang really foolishly follows their arrangements, that would be too troublesome.
"You're right, sometimes power can indeed distort all the common sense in the world."
"But I still prefer to see the weak take action against the invincible for the sake of so-called justice."
Jiang Wang said, crossing his arms in front of his chest.
Just like before in the world of the Orcs, in order to prevent the spread of the power of the Abyss, the few remaining Templar Warriors took decisive action.
They were fearless in the face of sacrifice, bravely moving forward, their spirit shining like golden light.
"You and that blind idiot do look somewhat alike."
"The people of the Temple are fools as always."
She said, looking at Jiang Wang with some disgust.
This guy exuded a repulsive aura.
This aura reminded her of the person she hated most, her sister.
"And isn't this the kind of person you fear most?"
"Otherwise, they wouldn't have gone to such great lengths to unleash so much abyssal power."
"It's just to delay the people from the Temple. Your big moves have only exposed your weaknesses."
The World Serpent feared the Temple, these world-devouring madmen feared the Holy Light, feared the saving light that shone with miracles.
"I do like strength, but I'm not to the point of having no bottom line."
Jiang Wang said, standing up from his chair.
It's clear that the plan to pretend to join the World Serpent is probably not going to work.
He simply couldn't bring himself to kill the innocent Blade of the Celebration.
He doesn't consider himself a good person, but he wouldn't abandon his principles.
He had a good impression of the people in the temple from beginning to end; they were a group of somewhat simple-minded, honest people who liked to do good deeds and act righteously.
It's unlikely that Jiang Wang would take action against them.
As for resorting to underhanded tactics, that's even more impossible.
Jiang Wang's strength is not enough to pull off any underhanded tricks right under the noses of a group of exceptionally powerful World Serpent members.
"It seems you've completely integrated into that damned Temple organization."
"Ha, drown with your laughable strength."
"The Soul-Sucking Evil Woman said, glaring fiercely at Jiang Wang."
"Our plan has already been implemented; it's too late for anything you do now."
She said that it was clear that neither side had any intention of continuing negotiations.
"The negotiations broke down, or rather, it wasn't a negotiation in the first place; it was your scheme, right?"
Jiang Wang smiled; he had seen through everything long ago.
"You're quite perceptive. This trick won't work on you. It seems we'll have to try something else."
"The Soul-Sucking Evil Woman said, looking at Jiang Wang with a cold expression."
"So, are we going to have a big fight here?"
Jiang Wang sensed the other party's hostility, and holy light immediately appeared on his body.
He was ready for battle.
