I followed your instructions—I didn’t trigger the blood explosion power.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This high-tier mage had an excellent reputation in life, especially for creating the Magic Web.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although Asmodeus has already escaped.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The threat from the alternate dimension still exists—even, one could say, right at our doorstep.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just in the forest, three people, including him, have been marked by the [Inscription].\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>According to Mistral, the Magic Web can isolate the influence of other planes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo De personally believed this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If she succeeds in ascending to godhood, she will be a deity drawing power from the continent’s spiritual energy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This is clearly distinct from the chaotic energy of the alternate dimension.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Preventing contamination from another energy system also preserves her divine power from corruption.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But you triggered another paralyzing power!

If a third person finds out that the great goddess reshapes her body using this… what if I lose followers later? What if they think I’m too sinister and switch allegiance?

The risk is too great! You’ll surely threaten me afterward! I won’t let anyone sacrifice my body again!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unlike the mature, gentle appearance he’d seen in the Magic Web.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perhaps because of the paralysis, Mistral’s mind seemed unusually dull now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She cried like an idiot, nonstop.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Maybe she was inherently far less mature than he’d imagined.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He’d heard she was a mage obsessed with magical research in life, rarely leaving her study, and most communication done via telepathy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perhaps it was precisely this naivety that led to her assassination despite being a top-tier ninth-rank combatant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Actually, there are three other options—neither death nor letting a third person know.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo De coaxed gently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He raised an eyebrow, studying the unfinished human form made of veins and magic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was a blurred shape, gender indistinguishable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But for some reason,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He felt an urge to try it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Saying “five minutes is too long” or “hands won’t work”—all lies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The [Second Heart] is powerful, its control absolute—so what if it’s over in a second?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Tell me quickly!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Simple—you take over the succubus’s role. Ugh, I don’t want to touch you now—you’re ugly. But for the continent, to prevent the alternate dimension from corrupting reality, what’s one sacrifice?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Eh… um.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She didn’t think long.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mistral sent a telepathic message: “I can agree—but you must promise to forget this entirely afterward, never use it to blackmail me, and never plot to kill me.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I promise. By the way—where exactly?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo De activated his Second Heart, instantly hardening.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He stepped forward and wrapped his arms around the waist of the human form.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The touch was strange—like embracing a solidified void.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Slight elasticity, temperature around twenty degrees.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“.

How many minutes before your body collapses?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“About two minutes.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Time’s tight. Goddess, please—squeeze harder. Yes, just like that.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Two minutes later.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The effect of [World Creation Dew] reached its peak.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mistral’s body solidified visibly, rapidly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Where before she was like air, now she felt like flowing liquid.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perhaps because her body hadn’t formed yet, Mistral showed no reaction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A while later.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Magical veins began secreting silver life substance, weaving into muscle fibers like spider silk.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bones grew from magic, emitting crisp sounds like colliding crystal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this point, the body had tangible flesh—but the visual effect, like a human anatomical diagram, nearly made Luo De black out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mistral was affected too.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She clenched her fists, curled her toes, and gasped heavily through telepathy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Another round of [World Creation Dew].\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Blood, complete bones, fully formed organs, translucent skin faintly visible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Magical veins gradually sank into the new flesh, only faintly visible beneath the skin; pores began exuding residual magical embers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It resembled the transparent flesh of Star Spirits.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mistral’s body shape was now complete, her beautiful face fully formed—beautiful, yet wary and watchful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She stared blankly at Luo De, dazed and resentful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Through her panting, her three tear moles glistened, eyes now filled with suspicion and shame.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Luo De played dumb to the end.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He let out a heavy sigh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As [World Creation Dew] merged with his heart and his first heartbeat echoed—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The body fully materialized.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A near-perfect female form exuded shimmering sweat that traced over her slender, waist-thin curve.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perfect, teardrop-shaped curves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Proudly upright.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her entire body trembled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She could no longer stand—Luo De lifted her and pinned her against the wall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mistral’s eyes, swirling with magic, held a flicker of confusion and pleasure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although she seemed to have figured something out, she still did not call a stop.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo De said nothing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the panel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Paradox Motive] continuously activated, violently converting desire into the body’s origin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of Chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",1153,"2026-06-20T19:55:32.074Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","4d9162aa24a35367ecba0cd587bf9632b5f511b4e768c4ed21bb51200d9ae18b","i-m-a-forest-warden-why-am-i-enslaving-a-succubu-chapter-543","i-m-a-forest-warden-why-am-i-enslaving-a-succubu-chapter-541",704,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fi-m-a-forest-warden-why-am-i-enslaving-a-succubu-cover.jpg"]
