Chapter 1357: Chapter 1212: The Fisherman? The Fisherman Is Also on the Menu

Too late?

Facing the gleefully smiling Evil Abyss Dominator, Leon raised his brows slightly, asking with a bit of confusion:

"What do you mean by too late?"

"Literally."

The Evil Abyss Dominator grinned and said:

The Pure White Holy Mother’s greatest trump card is called [Pure White Embrace], which awakens the inner [goodness] of the target through the call, turning them into her admirers. As an existence equal to, if not stronger than her, I actually have a similar trump card.

If I had to name this trump card, it would be called [Abyssal Language], which can awaken the inner [evil] of the target through conversation, making them my vassals."

Like countless classic traditional villains, after finishing the explanation of his ability with a tone full of ups and downs, the Evil Abyss Dominator beckoned to the silent Leon opposite him, exhaling a sulfurous breath mixed with the scent of blood, laughingly said:

"Do you understand? From the first sentence you said to me, you’ve already been affected by [Abyssal Language], destined to become a slave to evil thoughts... Come! Let me give you the highest reward a slave can receive, completely become a part of me!"

"..."

"..."

"..."

"..."

"?????"

What’s going on?!!!

Watching Leon, whose eyes occasionally flashed with blood light but just stood there stubbornly without coming over, the brain filled with pride of the Master of Evil Abyss was somewhat frozen, then said with disbelief:

"You... you’re unaffected by [Abyssal Language]?"

"No, your [Abyssal Language] does have some effect on me."

Glancing at the panel where [Materialism] flashed with red light and the hint "Resistance greatly increased," Leon took a deep breath, arm trembling slightly, and barely suppressed the impulse to pounce and consume the Evil Abyss Dominator entirely, speaking as calmly as possible:

"Because the Pure White Holy Mother didn’t seem so benevolent, I suspect you might not be as evil as you sound, so I ignored your demon essence and gave you a chance to express your will, which was my mistake.

And your trump card, effective without contact, was indeed beyond my expectations, even stirred my evil thoughts, which I’m suppressing with great effort.

So, the Evil Abyss Dominator, if you could stop your [Abyssal Language], I suggest you do so quickly; otherwise, if something happens after this... don’t blame me."

"?"

Are you pretending there?

Facing Leon’s red-eyed warning, the Master of Evil Abyss clicked his tongue, refusing to believe even a bit.

Powers can be exempted, truths can be resisted, roots can be worn down, but the essence of roots is absolute, and indisputable supreme existence; without the power of the same level to counter it, [Abyssal Language] formed by using the essence of roots would inevitably take effect.

Right now, No. 3 is able to resist, even trying to deceive me because during the previous plot against the Pure White Holy Mother, he secretly retained a bit of essence from the [good] condensed roots, preventing him from immediately becoming my vassal.

And when this part of essence from the roots is exhausted, No. 3, without the corresponding essence, will instantly lose the ability to resist [Abyssal Language], being unable to counter my will, so...

Increase! The! Power!

"..."

I’m done for; my reputation should be completely ruined this time.

Feeling the evil thoughts that not only weren’t suppressed but intensified to another level, Leon couldn’t help but close his eyes briefly, and then painfully relaxed the suppression on the evil thoughts, rising and drifting towards the Evil Abyss Dominator.

That’s right, this is it!

Come! Over here! Hurry into my mouth! I will grant you the supreme glory of merging with me!

Watching Leon, whose eyes finally turned fully red, drifting toward him proactively, the Evil Abyss Dominator immediately lowered his last alertness and laughed while reaching out to grab, dispersing the fragrance of food under the anxious stop of the Deer Horn Girl in the distance...

?!!!!

"Under normal circumstances, I surely wouldn’t be interested in explaining, but now with evil thoughts surging, I’d rather ensure you die not understanding, so I’ll say a few more words."

Pushing away the hand of the Evil Abyss Dominator, the originally small body swelled rapidly to match the height of the Evil Abyss Dominator, Leon variously moved his body awkwardly, then leaned close, speaking in a voice only audible to the two, warmly:

"I can, through touch, transform the demon I contact into any form, and the Pure White Holy Mother, having already been touched by me in reality when she escaped from the dream, from that moment on, I can completely turn you into any form with a mere thought.

And it’s precisely because victory is assured, coupled with the difficulty in mastering so much essence condensed from [evil], that I considered giving you a chance to see if, like the Pure White Holy Mother, you’re a ’fake demon’ with a malicious appearance and kind heart; if so, even teaming up with you would be fine.

Unfortunately, contrary to my expectations, you are thoroughly a real demon, not suitable as an ally... Ah, stand still!"

Patting the almost torn eye-lids of the Evil Abyss Dominator, covering the stiff eyeballs with eye-lids, Leon sighed regretfully, gently ordered the trembling Evil Abyss Dominator:

"Don’t shiver; I’m going to eat."

...

[Insightful Root Seeker (No.6): By consuming the original lord of roots within No. 6, the Insightful Root Seeker’s Evil Abyss Dominator, you inherit its vast permissions over the roots within No. 6, becoming the actual dominator of the No.6 plane]

[Equipped Effect: All operating powers within the roots of No. 6, and other primary powers upon the No. 6 roots, will be revealed in your sight]

[Advance Pathway: Once the Contamination Value reaches 90 points, this badge will automatically advance to the hidden color-changing badge "Controlling Root Seeker (No. 6)" Current progress 85.5/90]

[Hidden Trait (no need to equip): As someone completely insightful of the operation of the Evil Abyss Plane, all abilities related to evil thoughts and having less than 80 points of Contamination Value cannot resist your will]

Alright... although no ally was found, eating up an ally is still the same.

Looking at the new badge on the panel, through a satisfying feast, Leon successfully escaped the influence of [Abyssal Language] and sighed, turning to look toward the duo of donkey and horse.

Sure enough, the expressions of both... of one person and one donkey are now exceptionally complex, especially the Deer Horn Girl who had previously helped and just attempted to save him; as if her slender legs seemed to slightly tremble when he glanced over.

"You..."

After uttering a hoarse sound, the Deer Horn Girl, who closely witnessed Leon’s feeding process, shuddered, tried hard to clear her throat, asked with a taut face:

"You just like that... the Pure White Holy Mother and the Evil Abyss Dominator... just got eaten by you?"

"Actually no."

The rapidly shrinking Leon shook his head, then under the dazed gaze of the donkey and horse duo, pulled the trembling Pure White Holy Mother out of his mouth.

"The Pure White Holy Mother was wrapped by the Evil Abyss Dominator; I only ate the outer... um... flesh? The seed of Pure White Holy Mother remains... Oh, by the way, Lady Pure White Holy Mother, are you now willing to be my ally?"
