Monster Paradise

Obtaining the second Kingdom was undoubtedly a surprise to Lin Huang.

The second Kingdom was even a few times more powerful than silver-face’s first Kingdom.

He could almost imagine how much his ability would increase after refining these two Kingdoms.

Before Lin Huang managed to put away the Kingdom he retrieved from the fiend’s body, he saw the fiend’s vitality fading away.

His body was melting rapidly, almost as if it had been subjected to high temperatures. Within three seconds, his entire body melted into a pile of mush.

“What happened?!” Lin Huang was shocked to see the sudden scene.

He thought that he would be able to sell the carcass of Abyssal Fiend for a high price.

Never had he imagined that a perfectly fine body would be gone just like that.

“He has gone back to Aza.” Nangong Tian, who was not far away, explained.

“What do you mean?” Lin Huang asked with his eyebrows raised.

“As soon as the brand is triggered, we become one of Aza’s belongings. He’ll send a consciousness to take over our bodies. Our consciousness will be wiped out instantly, and that consciousness will transform our physical bodies, God’s souls and Kingdoms according to its own preferences.”

“If the transformed Abyssal monster dies or encounters a crisis that it can’t handle, the consciousness would give up its occupation of the body directly and return to Aza.”

“Just like your act of taking His Kingdom. He knew that there would be no way to turn the tables on the situation, so He chose to give up on the new body without hesitation.”

“So it means this Aza that you guys worship is a person who bullies the weak and fears the strong,” Lin Huang teased while smiling.

“If I were you, I wouldn’t be in the mood to tease us right now,” Nangong Tian continued, “Do you think that there won’t be any consequences for killing Aza’s consciousness clone?”

Lin Huang was stunned when he heard that. Indeed, he had not thought of the consequences. He only thought about the fact that he had gained one more Kingdom.

“The return of the consciousness clone would send its memories back to Aza as well. In other words, Aza will find out everything, including your fight with the consciousness clone just now, the entire process of you taking the consciousness clone’s Kingdom, as well as all the other details,” Nangong Tian explained.

“So what?” Lin Huang asked while raising his brows.

“So… aren’t you afraid that He’ll take revenge?” Nangong Tian was slightly confused regarding Lin Huang’s reaction.

“I’ve already done it, so what’s there to be afraid of? Just let Him come if He wants revenge. He’s in hibernation anyway. It’s impossible for His Primordium to come.” Although Lin Huang said that, he felt a sense of crisis internally.

After all, this was a powerhouse who was at dominator-level rank-4 or rank-5 at least.

He could destroy the universe with a flip of his hand.

There was nothing that he could do if the Primordium really came to fight him.

However, Nangong Tian had no idea what Lin Huang was thinking about. He only thought he was being really stubborn to be saying such things.

“Since you’ve told me such a secret, why don’t you just betray the Black Abyss directly?” Lin Huang tried to persuade Nangong Tian while staring at him, “The one you worship is Aza, not the Black Abyss. There are hundreds of organizations that worship Aza like the Black Abyss in the infinite universe, if not thousands. You can build one yourself in the future and become the boss.”

“Also, the one that I’ve been in conflict with since the beginning isn’t Aza, but the Black Abyss. If you betray the Black Abyss, I’ll release you safely. You can just build another organization that worships Aza. Isn’t that a win-win situation for the both of us?”

“This offer is not only for Nangong Tian. I think the two of you can consider my suggestion as well.” Lin Huang looked at the other two men in masks as he spoke. “Whoever speaks first will walk out of the palace alive. Meanwhile, the remaining two people should already know what will happen to you.”

The three of them had to admit that what Lin Huang said was indeed persuasive.

The people from the Black Abyss had absolute loyalty to Aza, but it did not mean that they had absolute loyalty to the Black Abyss.

In the infinite universe, there were indeed many organizations that worshiped Aza. The Black Abyss was not the only one.

If they left the Black Abyss, they could still join other organizations that worshiped Aza, or they could build a new one themselves.

Not only that, they saw the consequences of keeping secrets.

No matter whether it was Zang Kong and Wu Ning being humiliated, or silver-face having his Kingdom removed by force, they saw everything.

“I’ll do it.” As the two were still hesitating, Nangong Tian took the lead to speak first.

Child-face and swollen-face lifted their heads almost at the same time to look at Nangong Tian. Nobody knew if their gazes contained envy, rage or something else entirely.

However, Nangong Tian ignored their stares and continued to say to Lin Huang, “I’ll be upfront first. I can only tell things that won’t trigger the brand in my body. I can’t reveal the core information about the Black Abyss to you.”

“You must promise that I’ll leave this place in one piece after I provide you with the intel.”

Nangong Tian stared fixedly at Lin Huang, worried that he would reject the conditions he raised.

He had even figured out what he should do to compromise if the white-robed man rejected him.

Lin Huang laughed after hearing that. He did not give his word right away, but said to him, “How can I be sure of where the line is between what you don’t want to tell me and what you cannot tell me? If there are questions that you can answer but don’t want to, you could totally take me for a ride by saying that you can’t answer that as the brand would be triggered if you did.”

“Also, I can’t be sure of the authenticity of the answers you give. You can totally make up lies to the questions I ask, misleading us.”

“You have my promise regarding the first one. I’ll answer whatever I can, no matter whether I’m willing or not. For the second one, whatever I tell you will be the truth. If I hear a question that I can’t answer, I’ll tell you directly. I won’t make up lies to mislead you.”

“If you don’t believe me, I can take an oath.” Nangong Tian had a strong will to live. “However, you have to take an oath too. As soon as I answer all of your questions, you have to release me immediately.”

“Sure, let’s take an oath!” Lin Huang agreed to his suggestion without hesitation.

“Senior…” Zhao Xuan wanted to stop him right away.

As one of Royal’s three Sovereigns, he could not just release Nangong Tian.

“I know what you want to say. Save it, I’ve made up my mind!” Lin Huang signaled to Zhao Xuan after he was done speaking.

Zhao Xuan was stunned, but he instantly understood what Lin Huang meant.

He merely gave Nangong Tian a meaningful glance and stopped talking.

In reality, the moment Zhao Xuan spoke, Nangong Tian was secretly worried. Fortunately, the white-robed man was overbearing and did not let Zhao Xuan speak further at all.

After the two of them took an oath quickly, Lin Huang finally began his questioning.
