Chapter 1696: Demon Lord

Ahaha! I'm revived! We finally revived!

After moving around in his new body, the black goat wearing Li Ang's face couldn't help but raise his arms and let out a refreshing roar.

Damn the abyss, damn the demon god, damn the mortal world, damn humanity, damn the Cleanup Bureau… and especially that damn red-haired woman!

Those damn bastards have always bullied us; we endured in silence, we lowered ourselves, we compromised for so many years—finally we've regained all our power!

No! Not only that—we didn't just regain it!

After waving a hand to condense a mirror, seeing that evil-to-the-extreme face in the mirror—so terrifying it could make true gods weep at night—and feeling the horrifying aura on himself identical to the Food God's, the black goat, having just copied that face, couldn't help but show a smug expression.

Never mind how much benefit we gained from the Food God; just relying on this current ferocious and terrifying Food God face is enough to roam freely across the fourteen realms—gods block and kill gods, demons block and kill demons!

Those demon gods who once bullied us now, if they merely glance at our face from afar, will be so frightened their legs tremble, then flee in…

"Pa!"

Receiving an inexplicable slap on the face, the counterfeit Food God with a full-face evil grin was first stunned, then couldn't help but anger show on his face, covering his cheeks as he shouted angrily:

"You dare hit us?"

"?"

Seeing the black goat glaring at him with blood-red eyes, Li Ang's brow twitched involuntarily, then without hesitation he swung another slap.

"What gives me the right not to hit you?"

"..."

Oh right, he really does dare hit me.

After taking a second heavy slap, facing the genuine Food God before him, the black goat, just revived and still not fully clear-headed, immediately calmed down, then covered his face and complained aggrievedly:

"But you gotta talk sense! We didn't do anything..."

You haven't done anything? You still want to do something?

Seeing the black goat still talking back even now, Li Ang couldn't help but feel amused, then raised his hand to point at its dangling, flimsy thing below, lowered his voice and scolded:

"You just revived and are running naked here wearing my face! Do you think I should beat you? You… fuck! And it's even glowing!"

After being harshly flashed by the holy-light-emitting dangling thing, Li Ang, who could roughly imagine the red-haired bureau chief's expression, didn't dare turn his head, so he directly grabbed the black goat's neck, gritted his teeth and growled:

"Don't you have your own face? Hurry up and swap mine back!"

"Swap… swap… swap… we swap… we can't swap!"

Hearing the black goat repeatedly say he can't swap, Li Ang had already loosened his grip, but upon hearing he actually can't swap, his face instantly darkened, then he grabbed again, shouting angrily:

"Why can't you swap?"

"We… cough… we just look like this…"

"You're full of shit! This is clearly my face!"

"No… we… we really just look like this…"

Feeling Li Ang's grip tightening, the black goat, eyes rolling white from being choked, hurriedly explained:

"Our… cough… most of us are… nurtured back by absorbing your original sin… so… naturally… we just… have to lean toward you…"

"No leaning! Hurry up and change!"

"This… this isn't about whether we want to or not; it's that we… we really just look like this now, and we can't help it…"

"..."

Seeing the black goat whose appearance matches his own exactly, but with horns on the head, a tail on the butt, and a holy-light pole dangling between the legs, Li Ang's face instantly darkened further, beginning to consider the feasibility of killing the black goat and remaking him.

And seeing his uncertain expression, feeling the approaching danger, the black goat couldn't help but hurriedly clamp his legs together, eyes full of panic as he added:

"We can't change our appearance, but we can wear a mask! Or… or we can disguise ourselves! You can let the red-haired woman get us a face-changing anomalous item… don't act rash! Rashness is demonic! You need to be rational…"

"..."

With your appearance, how the hell am I supposed to be rational!

After slightly closing his eyes to block the lewd light emitted by the holy-light pole, Li Ang, who was nearly broken, retreated half a step, then gritted his teeth and threw out two sets of his old clothes.

"Put on the pants first..."

"We're demons, demons are usually naked..."

"Give you five seconds; if after five seconds I can still see that thing, I'll rip it off!"

"?!?!"

"Huff..."

While the black goat was startled into a flustered scramble to change clothes, Li Ang couldn't help but take several deep breaths, then, with a dark face, asked:

"Aren't all your demons supposed to have scales or fur? Where are your scales and fur?"

"Huh? I haven't had time to grow them yet..."

"Hurry up and grow your scales and fur! The denser the better!"

After directing the black goat to put on the pants and quickly grow a full set of black scales, Li Ang, veins bulging on his forehead, threatened:

"Cover… cover your face well! If I find out a third person knows…"

"Cough cough."

"..."

After hearing the red-haired bureau chief's mocking light cough from behind, Li Ang couldn't help but fall silent for a moment, then changed his demand, face dark as he re-threatened:

"If a fourth person sees you running naked wearing my face, I'll tear you apart alive! And this time I'll split you into fourteen pieces, throwing one into each realm!"

"..."

"You not convinced?"

"Convinced convinced convinced! We've long been convinced!"

"Sizzle~"

As the black goat submitted wholeheartedly, the familiar static noise rang again in Li Ang's ears.

【You helped the Original Sin Demon recover its seven Original Sin Avatars, and with your unique charm thoroughly subdued it, making it your loyal devotee, to the point that even its appearance began unconsciously to shift toward yours.】

【Your Gold-grade badge "I Am the Demon" has successfully advanced to the Heterochromatic badge "Lord of Demons (Black Heart)".】

【Lord of Demons (Heterochromatic·Black Heart·Cannot Be Upgraded): The best way to raise a demon is not to let it see all ugliness, but to first let it experience the beauty of the world, and then force it to tear that beauty apart piece by piece with its own hands.】

【Wearing Effect: When you come into contact with Anomalous Objects bearing the "Fallen" tag, you will enter the special state "Creator (Demon)".】

【Creator (Demon): As an existence that thoroughly transcends the seven Original Sins, your palm can touch the essence of any Fallen Anomalous Object, and according to your own desire, freely knead it into any shape, even completely manipulate its will and power, making it permanently your slave.】

【Advancement Path: Has reached the highest grade, cannot continue advancing.】

【Hidden Trait (No Need to Wear): As a special existence that stands above the seven Original Sins, more fallen than demons, your evil can no longer be concealed, and the more evil an individual is, the more they can sense your unparalleled sin.】
