Chapter 336: Two Void Slaves (12)

Lava basin, emitting eleven law rings.

Luosen stood, with two powerful void gods kneeling before him, tightly bound by soul chains.

"Your Majesty Luosen, all the lava warriors have been recalled. You see."

The speaker was De Rui Tan.

At this moment, he hunched his back, and on his solemn, square face appeared a hint of fawning that could not be concealed.

He did not want to be like this, but recent years of continuous blows forced him to repeatedly bow low before the strong.

Bowing to the Life Goddess was still unfamiliar; bowing to the War God made him slightly uncomfortable.

Now bowing to Luosen feels somewhat natural.

Anyway, it's all bowing—what difference does it make whom you bow to?

As long as one can live, there is opportunity.

Luosen had been observing De Rui Tan's soul fluctuations; this time he roughly understood his thoughts.

He couldn't help but think: 'The dog trainer has finally become a dog himself.'

Since this guy is so cooperative, he ought to give him a thorough interrogation.

With a thought, he produced two more soul shields.

He placed one over De Rui Tan and another over Beilu Dandi, completely isolating the two.

Luosen first went to De Rui Tan's side, smiling faintly: 'I know your secret communication spell inside out, and I am far more proficient at it than you. So don't even think about colluding with Beilu Dandi in my presence.'

De Rui Tan gave an embarrassed laugh: 'I wouldn't dare~~I wouldn't dare~~~'

He truly didn't dare.

Beilu Dandi was held in the opponent's hand like a chick; how could he still dare to make a move? Luosen asked: 'Now tell me, besides the lava warriors, what other means of self-preservation does Beilu Dandi have?'

De Rui Tan didn't hesitate to sell out Beilu Dandi: 'She even had me go find the War God Haige Lite.'

Did you find him?

Yes, I did.

De Rui Tan's voice was very low; if void gods could sweat, he would already be drenched in sweat.

Luosen saw the fear in his heart and, expressionless, continued: 'When did you find him?'

Half an hour ago, I sent a saint named La Rui to notify him; the notice has already reached him.

What was Haige Lite's reaction?

He was shocked and angry, and intends to come himself to rescue.

Moreover, his saintly emissary has already arrived in our plane, currently searching the world for you to negotiate.

Luosen understood, but this reaction was also within his expectations.

But his face gave nothing away: 'Understood. Stay put and behave.'

Yes, yes, I promise not to move a muscle.

Luosen then went to Beilu Dandi's side.

This proud war goddess now wore a dejected expression; upon seeing Luosen approach, her body instinctively stepped back.

This reaction made Luosen's heart stir slightly: 'It seems my high-energy spell frightened her—very good.'

He began the interrogation: 'What do you think the War God would do if he learned you were killed?'

Beilu Dandi trembled slightly, then slowly shook her head: 'I don't know.'

Luosen felt this was truthful, so he continued: 'I need to know the War God's methods.'

By now, he could easily handle greater gods.

When greater gods see him, their only option is to flee into the void.

But when it comes to supreme gods, Luosen has no idea.

Because supreme gods wield divine artifacts and know many abyssal secrets, perhaps they also master terrifying high-energy arts.

If they truly fought, the outcome would be uncertain.

Thus, he must treat them cautiously.

Beilu Dandi could roughly gauge Luosen's power; in terms of soul, she is somewhat inferior to the War God.

Seeing him ask this, she realized he actually also feared the War God, making this her bargaining chip for survival.

Thus, she shook her head without hesitation: 'I will never say!'

Luosen gave a faint smile, walked slowly to her, lifted his hand to lift her chin, and gazed into her azure eyes.

Miss Beilu Dandi, you can certainly remain silent.

But then I would know nothing of the War God's methods; to be safe, I must strike first.

For example, I could now shift to the War God Realm, draw the War God race to me, then detonate a super sun with power a hundred times greater than before.

That scene would surely be very entertaining.

Beilu Dandi's whole body shuddered violently; she couldn't help shouting: 'You madman, if you do that, you won't escape either!'

Luosen hehe-laughed: 'How could I not escape? I can phase-shift.'

I don't even need to leave the War God Realm; I just need to stay far from the explosion point.

Saying this, Luosen suddenly snapped his fingers, smiling.

It seems I don't even need to go to the War God Realm; we could go to a desolate island in the southern sea, use you as bait, and patiently wait for the War God to come rescue you.

If only a minor figure comes to rescue, I can easily handle it; if the War God himself comes, I will greet him with the world's utmost enthusiasm—I guarantee he will die without pain!

No sooner had he spoken than Beilu Dandi shouted: 'No!'

She fell to her knees with a thud: 'Your Majesty, please don't do this!'

The power of the mortal sun is truly terrifying; even if the War God is a supreme god wielding divine artifacts, there is no chance of survival.

And Luosen's strategy was flawless; once he did that, the War God Clan would likely be exterminated.

This intense reaction made Luosen blink in surprise.

He sensed that Beilu Dandi seemed to have deep feelings for the Lord of War.

Could she be the Lord of War's woman?

So he asked: "What's the reason?"

"Because Haigelite is my father!"

This news truly exceeded Luosen's expectations: "Father? Is he an adoptive father?"

"No, he is my biological father."

Luosen was even more surprised: "As far as I know, a Void God is the soul projection of a powerful abyss being in the void."

"Most Void Gods are like that; my parents should be too, but I am not." "I was born in the void; my father is Haigelite, and my mother is a 13th-level powerful deity, the goddess of love, Margaret."

Luosen was even more astonished, and at the same time found it quite interesting.

"Can a Void God actually have offspring? I've never heard of this before."

"This is a secret hidden in the void that mortals don't know. Not all Void Gods can have offspring; my birth is both my parents' effort and the Creator's gift."

The Crimson Lady continued: "Your Majesty, as long as you spare the War God Clan, I am willing to serve you and become your eternal servant."

Luosen wasn't interested in servants, but the matter of void beings combining to produce offspring aroused his strong curiosity.

Because according to his research, a Void God's life structure is incomplete; theoretically, they cannot produce offspring.

Yet now offspring have been born; either he is mistaken, or the Crimson Lady is lying.

Either way, it is worth careful study.

This also has great research value.

Because once he understands it, it will mean he can help Void Gods become independent individuals, and Void Life will become an independent force, completely free from the Abyss's influence.

That way, Elemental Life and Void Life would have no reason to oppose each other; when needed, they could even join forces to resist the Abyss.

After a quick consideration, Luosen took out the Natural Scepter.

"Lower your head; I will imprint my mark deep in your soul."

This isn't a good method, but it's currently the only way Luosen can guarantee an effective means of binding Void Life.

The Crimson Lady's face showed a hint of reluctance, but she had no choice and had to comply.

Luosen began to inscribe the soul imprint.

Beilu Dandi's power was truly immense; to ensure the imprint would last and be effective, Luosen carved it deeply.

This was naturally extremely painful; Beilu Dandi endured it for a while, but eventually couldn't hold back and let out a loud anguished cry.

The sound was too loud and noisy, so Luosen reduced his hearing by ninety percent.

He didn't completely block his hearing, so he could adjust the imprint's force based on Beilu Dandi's feedback, lest he kill her.

He felt no pity either, because he knew well that Beilu Dandi was a warrior, not a woman.

If he were to suffer backlash, his fate would certainly be no better than hers.

Considering how terribly Beilu Dandi was screaming, Luosen removed the shielding of the Soul Giant Shield so that the neighboring De Rui Tan could also hear it.

After listening for a few seconds, De Rui Tan's expression changed drastically, his whole body trembled, and he wished he could shrink into a ball and burrow into a crack in the ground.

Twenty minutes later, the imprint was successfully inscribed.

According to the most conservative estimate, it could bind the target for at least twenty years.

Looking at Beilu Dandi again, her soul's light was dim and blurred, as if it might collapse at any moment.

To prevent her from truly collapsing, Luosen infused her with a stream of pure faith power, pulling her back from the brink of collapse.

After a slight recovery, Beilu Dandi's face was full of humility, and she addressed him as master.

Luosen was very satisfied; with a thought, he released her soul shackles.

He shook the Natural Scepter in his hand, turned his head to De Rui Tan, and asked: "What do you say?"

"Will you accept my soul imprint, or choose death?"

De Rui Tan differs from Beilu Dandi; he is a research-oriented Void God, akin to a scholar.

"As the saying goes, scholars who rebel fail to succeed in ten years, so there's no need to worry about his backlash."

One can also see he has the potential to be a good dog, so Luosen leans toward controlling him rather than killing him.

De Rui Tan's body trembled like a sieve: "I-I... I-I-I want to live."

"Good, lower your head."

De Rui Tan trembled as he lowered his head.

Luosen began to carve the imprint on him.

De Rui Tan's soul strength was far weaker than Beilu Dandi's, but this guy, though weak in power, is a research-oriented mage with obsessive-compulsive tendencies.

So Luosen specially customized an extremely fine imprint for him, far exceeding the limits of his perception.

His will was also far less resilient than Beilu Dandi's; to avoid carving him to death, the force was not heavy, less than fifty percent of what was used on Beilu Dandi.

Yet even though the force was much lighter, De Rui Tan's anguished cries were even more miserable than Beilu Dandi's, his soul flickering unstably, as if it might collapse at any moment.

Luosen frowned and thought: "What a softie!"

To avoid killing this guy, he could only ease the force even further.

About twenty minutes later, the imprint succeeded, and Luosen also undid his soul chains.

De Rui Tan, this mighty Void God, fell with a thud, his soul becoming extremely dim, as if it might extinguish at any moment.

Luosen naturally wouldn't let him die; otherwise, he'd have wasted his effort.

Accordingly, he infused him with some pure faith power to help him catch his breath.

"De Rui Tan, you now have three things to do."

First, tell me all your knowledge, especially the spellcraft details of forging lava warriors.

Second, tell your followers that if they find the War Lord, have them come to the lava basin to find us.

Third, stop responding to the prayers of your fanatic followers in the Elven Empire; let them live or die as they may.

Yes, master.

De Rui Tan answered, his face exhausted.

About ten minutes later, the envoy of War Lord Hai Gelite arrived.

He was a mortal holy follower with a legendary soul strength of 12, tall and sturdy, wearing heavy armor from head to toe, appearing very formidable at a glance.

Luosen commanded the two void slaves to stay away, then he appeared within the magic circle to confront the War Lord's envoy alone.

State your name, envoy.

I am War Lord's envoy An Jielu, and I offer my respects, Your Majesty Luosen.

Despite his burly build, the envoy's attitude was humble and courteous.

Unfortunately, this humble attitude did not last long.

I convey my lord's order: release Lady Beilu Dandi immediately, or else you and your empire will be turned to dust in history.

His tone was utterly firm, leaving no room for negotiation.

Luosen chuckled: "An Jielu, go tell Hai Gelite to come try his luck."

He wanted to see what mighty powers this War God race actually had, for their tone to be so arrogant.
