Zerg: Why is the Overlord like that?

【...What do you know?】

Listening to Elvis's description, I feel that he seems to have been targeted by the world's malice.

The system's voice sounded hesitant, indicating that it wasn't entirely certain either.

[The world's malice? What is it?]

Well, how should I put it? I can't explain it clearly in a short time, because I'm just a separate entity and don't know much about it.

All I know is that since there are children of destiny in the world, there are also children of misfortune.

The chosen one carries all the world's favor, just like Hani, who, as the protagonist, is undoubtedly the chosen one.

The Child of Misfortune, in contrast to the Child of Fortune, bears all the malice of the world; this malice is known as the World's Malice.

Why didn't you say so before?

"Because I'm just a supervisor, I never imagined that Elvis would be the child of misfortune..."

After all, there are many insects in this world who suffer even more than Elvis.

Not to mention the distant ones, even in nearby Fell, the situation is just as dire.

[Then why do you think Elvis is the Child of Doom? Also, tell me everything you know about the malice of the world.]

The reason why people think Elvis is the child of misfortune is because of that invisible thing in his mind.

However, this alone is not enough to confirm that he is the Child of Misfortune. Besides his background and experiences, he also mentioned that a voice was constantly whispering in his ear.

I also showed him pictures of Honey and Carol interacting, and it was only after all that I put them together that I became certain he might be the Child of Misfortune.

Most importantly, Elvis awakened. If he hadn't awakened, he wouldn't have been targeted by the world's malice in this lifetime alone.

In this life...

Jian Chi noticed this statement.

As for the malice in my world that you, host, have mentioned, what I know is just what I just said. Oh right, there is indeed a bit more.

Host, do you know why he's being targeted by the world's malice?

Jian Chi didn't want to listen to the system's nonsense about this issue.

【explain.】

Because he has awakened and remembered his memories from over 90,000 lifetimes.

The world's malice loves pain and all negative emotions. The more painful the insect, the more it likes it, and the more painful the experience, the greater the probability that it will target it.

If it were only this lifetime, the world's malice would never have targeted Elvis.

After all, compared to those more than 90,000 lifetimes, Elvis's life in this one is truly fortunate.

However, he awakened. The memories of over 90,000 lifetimes were not merely memories; they allowed Elvis to truly experience the suffering he had endured in those 90,000 lifetimes.

One lifetime wasn't enough; then the suffering of over ninety thousand lifetimes would be enough to make the world seek out his malice.

Jian Chi seemed to be deep in thought.

So it's because Elvis awakened and was in too much pain that the world's malice targeted him.

Instead of the world maliciously targeting him, which is why he awakened?

For some reason, when Jian Chi recalled the initial signs of Elvis's awakening, he felt that the latter was more likely.

Let's assume Elvis is the latter.

So, is it because the system made a mistake, or is there some other reason...?

What would happen if the world turned against him with malice?

He will always suffer from bad luck, which means he is unlucky. He is like a carrier of bad luck, and no matter where he is, the insects around him will be affected.

Once the world's malice has found its mark, it will follow him relentlessly unless he dies in agony.

Host, cough, how about we get away from him for a bit?

It was truly terrified!

I'm afraid that if the scenario isn't completed and the host is affected by Elvis and dies, it could cause the plot to collapse and the world would be finished!

Jian Chi smiled, his lips curving upwards and widening into a wide arc, while his eyes shone with an astonishing brightness.

But that smile had an inexplicable hint of madness, making him look like he had lost his mind.

【Stay away? No, I've said it before, I won't allow him to leave before I lose interest. Even if he dies, he'll die in front of me!】

If he dares to die, he will absolutely do what he says and destroy everything the other party cares about!

[It's not that Elvis is distancing himself from you, but rather that he's distancing himself from Elvis... Fine, host, do whatever you want, as long as the plot doesn't fall apart.]

They got scared, chickened out, and ran away.

Seeing this, Elvis, who had been waiting anxiously, became even more flustered and said urgently:

"My lord, I truly haven't hidden anything from you. I've told you everything. Please, forgive me this time. I swear, I will never hide anything from you again..."

So Jian Chi stopped laughing and quietly watched Elvis until Elvis's face grew paler and paler.

He then spoke up: "Come here, and don't get up."

Elvis's location wasn't close enough to him.

Upon hearing his words, Elvis climbed over without hesitation.

Until the two insects are very close.

Jian Chi reached out and touched the pulse ring on Elvis's neck.

There is a very small sensor button on the pulse ring.

Since the pulse ring was originally designed for the insects in the prison, the buttons on the pulse ring also have the same effect in order to prevent situations where the smart bracelet is not worn.

Of course, these settings need to be configured on the paired smart bracelet, where you need to register your fingerprint so that the pulse ring can recognize it.

He pressed down, and Elvis, forcing himself to stay upright, pursed his lips, his eyes reddening, his voice somewhat unnatural: "Uh, Lord..."

Realizing his state, Elvis blushed instantly, lowered his eyes in a panic, and dared not look at Jian Chi again.

How could he...?

Jian Chi originally wanted to say that this was a punishment, but he was stunned when he saw Elvis's reaction. Then, as if he had discovered a new continent, he fell into deep thought.

However, he soon put these things out of his mind for the time being.

"Look up," Jian Chi said.

Elvis obediently tilted his head back.

The act of tilting his head back forced Elvis to meet Jian Chi's gaze.

For some reason, the powerful ruler did not smile or show any gentleness.

But he could sense that, compared to the strangeness just now, the male ruler's emotions were still inexplicable, but he was obviously much calmer now, which did not frighten him, but instead made him want to get closer.

Elvis was mesmerized.

Coming to his senses, he found that his neck was now fitted with a tracking ring, and the male ruler's hand was pinching the soft flesh of his cheek with a slight force.

"Elvis, I originally wanted to give you your freedom."

Lanlan made him understand that kittens need freedom, otherwise they might die for freedom just like Lanlan.

"But now, I'm very angry, so I'm not going to give it to you. This thing has a locator and a camera installed on it."

"I can know your location and track your movements anytime I want, even if the internet is down."

After saying that, he changed from pinching to patting, neither too light nor too heavy.

"Elvis, before I lose interest, you're not allowed to hide anything from me, lie to me, or run away from me, understand?"

Kittens don't need freedom.

As long as he seals the doors and windows tightly, leaving no room for the kitten to escape, and keeps the leash taut, everything will be fine.
