Chapter 726: Chapter 655: Rushing Towards Each Other Chapter 726: Chapter 655: Rushing Towards Each Other The soldier boy, the theoretical father of the Homelander and one of the earliest psychics, had stats on par with the Homelander—except he couldn’t fly or wield Laser Eyes.
In exchange, the soldier boy possessed the Energy Gathering Nuclear Explosion, a move capable of nearly eliminating the superpowers of others.
With the right collaboration, he could even pose a threat to the Homelander.
It was just that he had been betrayed by his teammates, which led to his continual use as an experimental subject, subjected to experiments like drilling into his eyeballs.
In such conditions, it was only natural that he was recruited by the Burning Legion.
And the green glow emanating from his eyes due to emotional fluctuation also indicated that he began to accept the corruption from fel energy, undergoing a certain perversion…
“If you guys find it troublesome, you could perhaps tell me the location of those rats, and I’ll personally pay them a visit; I might even encounter some of my old friends,” he said.
When he mentioned old friends, the soldier boy’s expression twisted into something ferocious.
He wanted revenge; that was his greatest purpose now!
Whether it be becoming a Demon or something else, he didn’t care much; hatred was the key that helped him through the fel transformation!
“Oh, I think you better cool down a bit.
Let’s not talk about that increasingly powerful Homelander for now; it seems they have another troublesome fellow on their side.
But it doesn’t matter, once our Altar is complete and we summon a new accomplice from the Distorted Hollow, we can catch them all in one sweep…”
As he spoke, the Abyssal Lord also turned his head to look at the soldier boy, the Soul Fire in his eyes blazing even brighter.
“At that time, you will become the king of these humans, leading those special individuals selected from among them, becoming a glorious member of our Burning Legion!”
To corrupt many potential races and demonize them into members of the Burning Legion.
This was one of the reasons the Burning Legion grew stronger by waging war to fuel war.
Among them, the most excellent and successful were undoubtedly the Eredar.
Kil’jaeden and Archimonde, the two representatives, directly became the lieutenants of Sargeras, the second and third in command of the Burning Legion!
The other fallen Eredar were also mostly the backbone of the Burning Legion.
Originally, the potential of humans wasn’t worth so much trouble.
But the appearance of this ‘Compound No.
5’ also let the Abyssal Lord and General Zaka see the potential within.
“I’m not really interested in becoming any king, but since I’ve promised you, I’ll certainly get it done,” the soldier boy emphasized prominence.
These Demons had rescued him and granted him even greater strength.
Even if they were Demons, the soldier boy did not care!
“But since you don’t need me to find them right now, then I’ll go rest for a bit…”
Laziness began to appear on the face of the soldier boy.
“Heh, you enjoy propagation so much, we actually have plenty of Demons here that fit your aesthetic,” said the Demon.
“I have no interest in those Succubi; women are like fine wine, the older the better,” expressed the soldier boy with an intoxicated look, emphasizing his view.
The Abyssal Lord may not have much in the way of human aesthetics or opinion, but he still vaguely felt the perversion and distortion in this beastly discourse.
However, this actually caused him to let out a deafening laugh,
“You really were born to be a part of our Burning Legion!”
This kind of distortion, that’s the mark of a Burning Legion member!
And at that moment, accompanied by the expansion of a green flame, a skinny Magician with red skin appeared on the Altar and hurried over in this direction.
This surprised the Abyssal Lord, with his massive elephantine body, making him turn around.
His enormous size caused the ground to tremble beneath his feet,
Why have you come…”
“My lord, based on the remaining messages, it seems that humans are preparing to launch another attack against our altar, and they have already set out.”
The words of the Magician caused the Abyssal Lord to exhale a puff of white air from his mouth as if he had laughed.
“Heh heh, last time I wasn’t presiding over the altar, which allowed that Homelander to escape.
This time, I’d like to keep him; I think he has great potential.”
The deep voice sounded as though it was scraping metal, causing anyone who heard it to feel panic-stricken.
“This time it’s not just the Homelander, they were able to cooperate to kill those three individuals, with no chance of escape; they certainly have strength.
General Zaka and the general’s wife will also arrive in due time; we must make sure to capture them.”
The words of the leading Magician did not cause any displeasure in the Abyssal Lord.
He simply said with flickering flames in his eyes,
“I remember you mentioned they are the powerful ones from that neighboring Volcanic World.”
“I have looked over the edge of the rift and could feel the immense energy underneath that volcano.
Once we can take over that world, we will certainly be able to construct a stronger altar and summon a more powerful legion!”
“In theory, that’s indeed the case.”
The leading Magician’s gaze flickered as well.
All the worlds nearby were unconquered, and should they lead the legion to conquer this place, they would receive a great reward.
“Given that, we absolutely cannot allow those powerful individuals to return…”
“I think I can also be of help.”
The soldier boy who had not yet left spoke up as well, feeling like he was about to get rusty from lack of activity.
“Let’s not be careless.
After all, they couldn’t even escape from those three.
The general had me come here to set up a few Sacrifice Formations just in case…”
Though the Abyssal Lord looked robust and brutish, they also possessed innate cunning.
Even with confidence in their own strength, they did not mind further increasing their odds of victory.
Afterward, he even directly sliced his wrist with the ten-meter-long greatblade he held in his hand, and a flood of green blood sprayed out, spilling into a groove on the altar.
“Go feed my blood to those slaves; increase their Life Energy.”
The Abyssal Lord summoned a demon guard and pointed to the green blood he had spilled.
By enhancing human Life Energy with his own Demon Blood and then having them consume Compound No.
5, their survival rate should be able to improve somewhat.
“Increase the number of powerful individuals—even if they must be used for Sacrifice at a critical time, they could serve a greater purpose…”
The Magician leader admired the Abyssal Lord’s manipulation, which in turn was met with the latter’s proud laughter…
As enslaved humans, those building the altar here truly had no choice.
Looking at the cauldron of thick green liquid in front of them, even though the sight alone was nauseating, no one dared to resist, and each of them drank it as they were instructed without protest.
The bodies of all who resisted lay in the Blood Pool beside, becoming material for Sacrifice.
With the enemy willing to kill without reservation, there weren’t many who truly dared to resist.
And amongst this long line of people waiting their turn, Tao Yu also looked up to see the cauldron in front.
Watching those who had drunk the Demon Blood, lying on the ground and struggling, their bodies swelling and turning green as they seemingly became stronger, Tao Yu couldn’t help but think to himself,
‘So what’s the Price…’
“This altar vaguely gives me a sense of crisis; there must be something else set up here, likely some kind of Formation…”
Tao Yu’s eyes sparkled as he discerned certain patterns on the altar.
Even the lines of time in his eyes appeared distinctly twisted when passing by the altar…
