Inside the secret room, Psykos took a deep breath, suppressing the anger in her heart.
Although she was already a bit impatient, Bug God…
It seemed that under intense emotional fluctuations, the energy within his body was undergoing a transformation in an incredible way, subtly showing signs of breaking through his current disaster level?
This was truly inviting a crow to a feast…
Troublesome.
"Alright, alright, Bug God."
A hint of cold pressure emanated from Great Eyes' massive single eye, the deep psychic pressure of a Dragon-level Monster fully displayed, attempting to suppress the other party's violent aura: "I will investigate this matter thoroughly, and… I will compensate you with an additional batch of Monster Cells."
"If you can break through to a Dragon-level Monster with this, I'm sure your deceased brother would be very pleased, wouldn't he?"
Han Sen's clone: ???
His gaze clearly struggled for a moment, and a strange expression appeared on his face beneath the carapace, but Han Sen's clone did not compromise.
—You're compensating me with my Monster Cells? What kind of reverse heavenly art is this?!
(Psykos in the secret room: %@*#*@!!)
"I don't want compensation! I only want his life!"
"Hmph…!"
Seeing that Bug God remained relentless, acting as if nothing could get through to him, Psykos in the secret room let out a cold snort, completely losing her patience for playing along with him.
Too lazy to waste any more words with him, she directly manipulated Great Eyes to throw out her final solution: "Alright, since you insist on revenge, then I will give you a chance."
"As you know, the Monster Association will soon hold a Monster Congress, and at that time, all executives will be present."
"I will arrange for you and Cutting King to have a public duel, right in front of Lord Orochi and all the executives."
Great Eyes' voice carried a hint of condescending amusement: "This way, it can resolve your personal grievances, and also allow other executives to see just how strong you are…"
"Oh ho ho ho… How do you like this plan?"
Upon hearing this, the violent aura around Bug God seemed to recede somewhat.
He was silent for a moment, as if weighing the pros and cons, and finally, with a voice suppressing volcanic killing intent, he grumbled, "...Fine!"
"But before that, if that guy dares to appear before me, I can't guarantee I won't kill him beforehand!"
In his words, there was still a bone-deep killing intent towards Cutting King!
"Alright, alright…" Great Eyes waved his hand repeatedly as if sending off a plague god, "Then this matter is settled, you may withdraw."
After finally sending Bug God away, Psykos in the secret room rubbed her brows tiredly and drained the red wine in her cup.
She was already losing patience with Bug God.
But when she thought of his unique special potential, as well as the resources and time she had already invested, she had no choice but to forcefully suppress the killing intent in her heart.
"Hmph, Bug God…"
Psykos poured another glass of red wine, and a cruel glint flickered in her increasingly cold beautiful eyes behind her glasses.
"Half a month! If he's still Demon-level after half a month…"
With a slight parting of her red lips, Psykos exhaled a breath of air tinged with the scent of wine, having already set the final deadline for Bug God in her heart.
"Even if you defeat Cutting King, I will offer you to Lord Orochi as a snack ahead of time!!"
For some reason, the moment this thought arose, a fleeting, ineffable tremor suddenly went through Psykos' heart.
The feeling was fleeting, as if something important yet not so important was quietly slipping out of her control.
She frowned, her powerful psychic link connecting to all her puppet clones, sweeping through almost the entire Monster Association, yet she found no abnormalities.
Ultimately, she simply attributed it to the excessive energy consumption from her recent efforts to scheme against the Hero Association and monitor S-Class Heroes.
She swirled the crimson liquid in her cup, a confident and cold curve forming at the corner of her lips.
Forget it, it doesn't matter.
Whether it was Bug God, or Orochi, or those unruly Dragon-level executives with their own agendas…
Ultimately, they were nothing more than tools for her to achieve her ultimate goal!
…
…
Deep within the Monster Association.
The labyrinthine, deep passages extended into the unknown distance under dim lighting.
A pitch-black shadow hugging the ground slid silently across the cold surface, ignoring physical obstacles.
After winding through the intricate passages, the shadow finally stopped at a discarded pipe junction.
At the same time, a tall, dark figure walked from another passage with heavy steps.
He exuded an unrestrained violence and killing intent, and his powerful aura caused any Monsters he encountered to retreat in fear. It was none other than Bug God, who had just stormed out of Great Eyes' palace.
The moment Bug God walked past the fork in the path, the shadow beneath his feet seemed to be pulled by an invisible force.
The two figures, one real and one illusory, overlapped, and the main body and clone merged silently into one.
On one side, a secret infiltration with a full harvest; on the other, a successful dramatic performance that earned more money.
The S-Class Rich Woman, who was being played, remained oblivious, and Han Sen's lips curved up in satisfaction.
The long string of numbers in the source points column of the system panel represented not just wealth, but also strength and confidence!
One must know that casual players and pay-to-win players were completely different playstyles.
Some previously impossible audacious maneuvers flashed through his mind, and a sharp glint appeared in Han Sen's eyes.
"I'll go back and digest this, and in half a month, I'll give Psykos something big again."
…
…
Deep underground in the Monster Association, where sunlight never reached, the concept of time had long since blurred.
On the surface, it was nighttime, and Bug God's palace was brightly lit and filled with deafening noise.
The usually eerie and gloomy hall now flashed with the dazzling lights of colorful spotlights, resembling a hellish disco scene.
On the long stone table, mountains of roasted meat were piled high, sizzling with oil and emitting a rich, exotic aroma.
Buckets of heavily spiced beer with a strong pungent odor were placed nearby. These were special concoctions made by Mosquito Girl, who had dragged the Poison Lizard Sisters into it. If any Monster couldn't withstand the intense poison within, then it would be the next main course on the table.
Thousands of Monsters gathered here, each with varied forms and grotesque appearances, a chaotic dance of demons and ghostly figures.
However, even in their revelry, the Wolf-level fodder did not forget to promptly stand aside, yielding the central area to the executive lords of Bug God's Thirteen Squad.
Those who got too carried away had already become meals for other Monsters.
Han Sen sat high on the throne made of bones and rocks, toying with a crystal wine glass shaped like a skull. Blood-red, viscous wine gently swirled in the cup.
Earlier in the day, in his excellent mood, he had mentioned holding a celebratory banquet that evening.
Unexpectedly, with less than half a day of preparation, Armored Gorilla had managed to set up such a grand spectacle, a massive carnival for everyone to participate in.
He truly was an excellent administrator.
Behind Han Sen, Mosquito Girl, who had already been promoted to head of the maid group, was diligently giving him a powerful massage.
