Me! Cleaner!.

Chapter 1221 The Fisherman? The Fisherman is Also on the Recipe
That's too late?

Facing the Abyss Ruler, who was laughing unrestrainedly, Leon raised an eyebrow slightly and asked with some confusion:

What does "it's too late" mean?

"literal meaning."

The Lord of the Abyss grinned:

"The White Mother's greatest trump card is called the 'Pure White Embrace,' which can awaken the 'goodness' in the target's heart through an embrace, and capture them as her admirer. As an existence of equal or even stronger than her, I actually have a similar trump card."

If I had to give this trump card a name, I would call it "Words of the Abyss," capable of awakening the "evil" within a target through conversation, making them my subservient.

Like countless classic villains, after recounting his abilities in a dramatic and melodramatic tone, the Lord of the Abyss beckoned to the silent Leon opposite him, exhaling a sulfurous aura mixed with the smell of blood, and laughed as he spoke:

"Do you understand? From the very first word you uttered to me, you have been influenced by the [Words of the Abyss], destined to become a slave to evil... Come! Let me grant you the highest reward a slave can receive: to become a complete part of me!"

"..."

"..."

"..."

"..."

"?????"

What’s going on? ! ! !

Seeing Leon's eyes flashing with bloodlust, yet he stood rooted to the spot, refusing to budge, the Lord of the Abyss, his mind clouded by smugness, momentarily went blank. He then said with a disbelieving expression:

"You...you are unaffected by the [Words of the Abyss]?"

"No, your [Words of the Abyss] are still somewhat useful to me."

After glancing at the crimson glow flashing across the panel and the "Resistance Greatly Increased" notification, Leon, his arms trembling slightly, took a deep breath, barely suppressing the urge to pounce on the Abyss Overlord and devour it whole. He tried to remain calm as he began to negotiate:

"Because the Pure White Mother didn't act as kindly as I suspected, and you might not be as evil as you sound, it was my mistake to give you a chance to demonstrate your own will, disregarding your demonic nature."

Your trump card, which takes effect without contact, has indeed exceeded my expectations. It has even stirred up my evil thoughts, which I have been struggling to suppress.

Therefore, Lord of the Abyss, if you can stop your [Words of the Abyss], I suggest you stop it as soon as possible, otherwise, if something really happens afterward... then you can't blame me.”

"?"

Are you pretending to be your mother?

Faced with Lyon's red-eyed warning, the Lord of the Abyss clicked his tongue, not believing a single punctuation mark.

Power can be exempted, truth can be resisted, and origins can be eroded, but the essence of origins is an absolute and unquestionable supreme existence. In the absence of a power of equal level to oppose it, the [Words of the Abyss] formed by one's own invocation of the essence of origins will inevitably take effect.

The reason why Number 3 is still able to resist and even deceive me must be because when he harmed the Pure White Mother, he secretly withheld a bit of the essence of [goodness] that had been condensed, which is why he did not immediately become my servant.

Once this portion of the Essence of Origin is completely consumed, Number 3, lacking its corresponding Essence of Origin, will immediately lose the ability to resist the [Words of the Abyss] and will no longer be able to defy its own will. Therefore...

Increase the power!
"..." That's it, my reputation is completely ruined this time.

Feeling the malice in his heart not only not being suppressed, but actually increasing in intensity, Leon couldn't help but close his eyes. Then, he painfully relaxed his suppression of the malice and got up to float towards the Lord of the Abyss.

Right, that’s right!
Come here! Come closer! Hurry up and get into my mouth! I will give you the supreme glory of becoming one with me!

Seeing Leon's eyes finally filled with blood and him drifting towards him, the Lord of the Abyss immediately lowered his last bit of vigilance, laughing as he reached out and grabbed him. Amidst the anxious shouts of the antlered girl in the distance to stop him... the aroma of food wafted out.

?! ?! ?! ?! ?!
"If it were any other time, I definitely wouldn't be interested in answering your questions, but now that I'm filled with malice, I'd rather you die with your eyes wide open in dismay, so I'll say a few more words."

Reaching out, he pushed away the Abyss Ruler's hand. His previously tiny body swelled rapidly in the wind, reaching roughly the same height as the Abyss Ruler. Leon shifted his body slightly, unaccustomed to the change, then leaned closer and whispered in a voice only the two of them could hear:

"I can transform any demon I touch into any form. When the Pure White Mother ran out of the dream, I had already touched her in reality. From that moment on, I can completely transform you into any form with just a thought."

It is precisely because I have already secured victory, and because it is difficult to control the essence of so much evil, that I am considering giving you a chance to see if you are a 'fake demon' with a wicked face but kind heart, like the Pure White Mother. If so, then joining forces with you will be the same.

Unfortunately, things aren't as I expected. You're a complete and utter demon, not suitable as an ally... Oh well, you'd better stand still!

Leon reached out and gently stroked the Abyss Lord's nearly burst eyelids, closing them to conceal his stiff eyeballs. He sighed with regret and softly commanded the trembling Abyss Lord:

"Stop shaking, I'm about to start eating."

It's alright... Even though I didn't find any allies, it's the same as having allies.

Looking at the new badges on the panel, and having successfully shaken off the influence of the [Words of the Abyss] after a satisfying meal, Leon couldn't help but sigh and turn to look in the direction of the donkey and horse duo.

As expected, the expressions of the two people... the person and the donkey were extremely complicated, especially the antler girl who had helped earlier and just tried to rescue him. When he looked over, he felt that her smooth and slender legs seemed to be trembling slightly.

"you……"

After emitting a series of hoarse, strange noises, the antlered girl, who had witnessed Leon eating up close, shuddered, then cleared her throat forcefully and asked with a tense expression:

"You just... just like that... the Pure White Mother and the Lord of the Abyss... just like that, you ate them?"

"That's not true."

Leon, whose size was rapidly shrinking, shook his head, and then, to the utter bewilderment of the donkey and horse duo, he pulled the trembling, pure white Virgin Mary out of his mouth.

"The Pure White Mother was enveloped by the power of the Abyss Ruler. I only ate the outer part... um... the flesh? The Pure White Mother's pit is still there though... Oh right."

At this point, Lyon paused slightly, then held the pure white Virgin Mary's wet head with two fingers and asked with unusual sincerity:
"Your Holiness the Pure White Mother, are you now willing to be my ally?"
