Chapter 131: Hellfire Helios, Aiming to Devour the Giant Screw

Upon hearing this, Luode nodded; indeed, as Bulin said, making a weapon would be better.

But what kind of weapon should he make? Luode agonized over this; all he had in hand was a staff given by Sylvanas.

Its quality had reached epic‑grade; it was a decent staff.

But if you say to infuse it with soul power, that would be a bit wasteful! As for melee‑type weapons, he has none—after all, Luode doesn't like close combat, so he can't just grab any weapon and make do. Or he could simply get his father‑in‑law a peerless ferocious weapon? Whether he can control the werewolf's frenzied soul energy is another matter; that weapon would presumably obey only his commands.

Moreover, to get Kaido's weapon he'd have to go to the dwarf tribe—everywhere there's trouble! "There's no way, Bulin; my current weapon lacks a bit in quality, and using this ferocious energy would be wasteful." Luode said.

"Hehe! Lord Luode, who told you you must use a weapon? You need to think big!" Bulin's frail body sat directly in Luode's arms, smiling as she spoke.

"Gee, if you asked anyone else this question, they might not be able to answer, but if you ask me—"

"Hehehe! I'm the daughter of the previous Soul‑Soul Fruit, so how could I not know?"

"Do you have any other good ideas?"

"Lord Luode, this world is full of excellent materials—Mom's Prometheus and Zeus the Thundercloud were both created using natural elemental power.

"In that case, you can create one too! You possess such vast soul energy, exceeding the sum of theirs threefold.

"You can simply pick an element; adding a bit of your soul energy will create a perfect Elemental Homie." Bulin said.

The nearby flying carpet, as well as the soft‑snot‑like monster Homie, chimed in from the side.

"The master is right, Lord Luode—use elemental power!"

Upon hearing this, Luode's eyes lit up at once! Bulin was right—elemental power isn't the best choice? He could completely let an elemental weapon act on its own; why would he need to wield it himself and fight?

Just like Big Mom's Prometheus and Zeus the Thundercloud, they can act on their own to attack opponents—wouldn't that be great? These Homie constructs, when attacking, consume none of the master's power; they can manipulate natural elements, equivalent to an innate elemental system.

"Hahaha! Bulin, you're absolutely right—there's plenty of material in nature, and elemental power is the best choice." Luode said excitedly.

"Hehe! As long as I can help Lord Luode, that's fine." Bulin rubbed her head against Luode's tall, sturdy chest, speaking in a coquettish tone.

"Hehehe! I'll definitely crush that woman."

"What do you think would be good to make? Fire? Lightning? Or something else?" Luode asked.

"With such ferocious soul energy, naturally fire is the best fit—create a Homie with fire power! It should be stronger than Prometheus." Bulin said.

"All right! Let's go—we'll create it right now." After saying that, Luode left the room with Bulin and flew into the sky using the power of flame clouds.

Then he shifted into dragon form, began spewing endless flames; while spewing, Luode infused fel energy into them, so what he exhaled was not ordinary fire but fel fire—hellfire.

The power of fel fire far exceeds that of ordinary flame; adding the werewolf's incredibly frenzied soul energy, Luode eagerly anticipated what would be created.

"Lord Luode, you're truly clever—adding fel energy will make the flame's power surpass by a whole floor." Bulin remarked from the side.

At that moment, members of the Beast Pirates in Gloom City and the Forgotten Ones alike stared up in astonishment at the fel flames in the sky.

The massive fel flames kept spreading, in moments covering the entire sky of Tirisfal Glade; these fel flames seemed to be gathering together of their own accord, slowly coalescing in the sky.

Luode spewed fel flames while injecting some frenzied soul power; this time, to create an immensely powerful Homie, he had gone all out.

Backed by demigod power, the fel fire poured out freely until Luode felt he had reached the limit of the werewolf's frenzied soul energy, at which point he stopped.

Just spewing the flames took seven or eight hours; by then, the sky over Gloom City for a radius of several dozen li was soaked with fel fire.

The whole sky showed a vivid green, as if the Burning Legion were about to invade.

After creating enough fel flames, Luode used his power to gather them all together, then infused them with frenzied soul power.

All the fel flames, as if they had come alive, began to gather together and gradually shrink.

"Lord Luode! Add a bit of your own soul power, and then you can fully control it." Bulin said.

Luode nodded and poured his own soul power into that massive fel fire. Time flowed slowly; the fel fire began to slowly gather, eventually forming a dark‑green giant miniature sun, exuding an utterly evil aura, a pair of large eyes appearing, then a mouth, with the remaining flames below forming two claw‑like appendages, resembling a Ghostskull.

"Hehehe! I, the great one, have been born—thanks, Dad, for giving me life." The massive fel‑flame Homie, now alive, continually circled Luode, speaking excitedly.

At the same time Luode could feel his connection to this Homie, but "Dad"? What the heck?

"Cough cough! From now on just call me master." Luode said.

"I don't have Big Mom's taste—no, wait, Dad should be Whitebeard's hobby."

"Damn! You two are a perfect match—one likes being a mom, the other likes being a dad."

"Kaido should step aside."

"Yes, master! I am your most loyal servant; please give me a name!" the massive fel flame shouted in the sky.

"Then from today on, your name shall be Helios." Luode stroked his chin and said.

"This is the name of the ancient Greek sun god; Apollo is merely the god of light, while the true sun god is Helios."

"Master! Helios will serve you! I will be your greatest weapon and aide." Helios shrank to the size of a basketball, approached Luode, and spoke obsequiously.

Possessing great soul power, it can freely change its size—large if it wants, small if it wants.

"Well, can you turn orange‑yellow? The green look isn't very pleasing." Luode asked.

"No problem, master; when you created me, you used your own primal flame plus some fel energy.

so I can control both elemental fire and fel flames." After saying that, Helios changed his color from a dull green sun to a bright yellow sun.

"Excellent! From now on, follow me—someday I'll let you evolve into a true stellar level, hahaha!" Luode said.

"Master, I will surely evolve to become stronger; I can consume flame power to strengthen myself.

"At the same time I can freely control fire—for example, if you attach me to a weapon or to your body's surface, I will harm only enemies, not you." Helios said.

"It can release elemental flames and fel fire, consume other flames to evolve, and these flames can be freely controlled, harming only the enemies it chooses—this Homie construct is truly perfect."

"With it, Luode can instantly become an elemental archmage—no need to act himself, just give orders."

"Let's go!" Luode, thoroughly satisfied, brought his Homie construct Helios down to beneath Gloom City.

"Master, I sense it—there's delicious food over there!" Helios gazed greedily into the distance at a certain orange‑yellow fireball, identical to his own construct.

Beside Big Mom, Prometheus, upon seeing Helios, instantly showed a terrified expression; the other's gaze toward him was that of looking at food.

"This Homie's soul energy is strong—far stronger than my own—and the fire on its body is not ordinary fire."

"Mom! Terrible, terrible, someone wants to eat me!" Prometheus cried out in fear and hid behind Big Mom.

"Hey hey, Captain, you wouldn't want your Homie to eat the Homies I previously created, would you?" Big Mom said.

Prometheus, but it's one of her main attack methods!

That's my subordinate's subordinate, Herios—give me some face, don't eat it.

In the future there will be high-quality flame for you to eat, in the Fire Element Realm.

There's a flame creature lord called the Big Screw; by then you'll eat this Flame Demon King, Ragnaros. Luode spoke.

I know, Master, but this guy is really tasty! Herios said.

Don't worry, the Big Screw in the Land of Flame is even more delicious. Luode said.

Let's first set a small goal and eat this Big Screw.
