From Alchemy Apprentice to All-Powerful God King

Seeing Matthew unleash magic power that was no less than that of a second-tier being, Elena's expression was not very pleasant.

It was obvious that Matthew had been pretending all along. Even after swallowing his own Moon Spider, he hadn't truly revealed his true colors until now.

"Matthew! Don't let greed cloud your judgment! You can't control a third-tier magical insect!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Matthew caught the third-tier demonic insect that had flown out of the snake king's body.

"this......"

The scene before her eyes was completely beyond Elena's expectations.

Even if she were to collect the insects herself, she wouldn't dare to catch them with her bare hands.

Matthew, who was at most a second-tier ability user, directly reached out and grabbed the rock crystal worm.

You should know that it has a very high chance of becoming a fourth-order magical insect, and it is already on the path to becoming a fourth-order magical insect. Once it is successfully cultivated, it will be a wild fourth-order magical insect!

How dare he, a mere second-tier ability user, do such a thing!

The key point is that nothing has happened yet.

Matthew casually put the immobilized rock crystal worm into the Ring.

The snake king behind him also fell down, crashing onto the rock crystal.

"Matthew, you dare to keep this third-tier magical insect for yourself! I advise you to hand it over obediently, or you won't leave Val Town alive!"

Elena watched as the fruits of her labor, which she had painstakingly prepared for over a month, were so easily taken away, and she could no longer hold back her emotions.

However, Matthew paid no attention to her threats.

The magic gathered in his palm, forming a mark of loyalty and commitment, which slowly approached Elena.

He no longer bothered to hide his wicked grin, looking at the trapped person who couldn't break free. Wasn't this the perfect test subject?

"Goddess, you seem... a little confused about the situation."

Seeing the marks of a pair of devil horns and a short tail on Matthew's palm, Elena immediately panicked.

Even if she didn't know what it was, she could tell it was definitely not a good thing!

"Wait a minute, Matthew, let's talk this out!"

However, before she could speak, Matthew pressed the mark directly onto her forehead.

Without any hindrance, it entered her body very smoothly, transforming into her magic and flowing throughout her limbs and body.

[Loyalty and Covenant: Faith Value 60/1000, Mark Count 2/3]

[Successfully recruited the second follower, continue to conquer her!]

[Label unlocking conditions met, activate label now? - Two-Faced]

"activation!"

[Label activated]

[Two-faced: Possesses the ability to alter appearance and physique, and even personality.]

Note! Do not use for extended periods, or you will completely lose yourself.

For a moment, information kept popping up in the Otherworld Chronicles, and Matthew also grabbed Elena's chin, lifting up her unruly face.

"How is it? Can you feel it?"

"Matthew, what have you done to me! If you're a man, let me go!"

At this moment, Elena only regretted that she had made a mistake and been sealed away by the Snake King.

Otherwise, let alone Matthew, even if the other people on the ground came, they wouldn't be a match for her.

Looking at the smile on the other person's face, she felt a chill run down her spine. There was definitely something wrong with the mark just now, but she couldn't find anything amiss.

Matthew released Elena's face and sat down on the floor, looking rather bored.

"Elena, how about we make a deal?"

"you say!"

She had no choice but to answer Matthew's questions.

After all, she couldn't be sure if the other party would be so heartless as to do something terrible to her.

Most importantly, she could feel the binding force of the rock crystal loosening after the snake king's death. If she could just hold on a little longer, she would be able to break free.

"Give me all the demonic worms inside you, and I'll release them. How about that?"

"Heh, are you dreaming? A peasant from Val Town, indulging in wishful thinking."

Elena refused Matthew's request without even thinking about it.

It's truly a case of a tiger fallen into the plains being bullied by dogs. She, a dignified goddess of the empire, is now being blackmailed by an unknown alchemist.

What's most infuriating is that the third-tier demonic insect has now fallen into their hands.

"Then I'll be going now." Matthew said, turning to leave.

"Hey, don't rush, change your request." Seeing that Matthew wanted to run away, Elena's attitude softened considerably: "Matthew, there's no need to be so ruthless. I can help you remove the Moon Spider from your body."

"After you come back to the Empire with me, whether you want to be a knight or a mage, I can pave the way for you. As long as you give me that magical insect, I can guarantee that you will be second only to the emperor in the Empire."

Elena continued to offer temptations while her body rapidly recovered its magic power, accumulating strength within the rock crystal.

Upon hearing this, Matthew stopped and turned back to look at her.

His face had an expression that said, "Do you think I'm a three-year-old?"

But the next moment, Elena suddenly broke free from the rock crystal, her body radiating light as she charged straight toward Matthew.

With an angry expression, she shouted, "Matthew! I'll show you why I'm a goddess!"

However, as soon as she rushed in front of Matthew, who didn't even try to dodge, Elena suddenly fell to the ground.

He then got up again, looking completely bewildered, and tried to unleash his radiance to rush towards Matthew, but after taking only two steps, his body suddenly went limp and he sat down on the ground with a thud.

"What's going on? My body...I can't control it..."

Looking up at Matthew, who was grinning mischievously, she realized it was because of the mark from earlier.

However, she immediately realized what was happening and manipulated her magic to try to detonate the Moon Spider inside him.

Then they saw the Moon Spider that Matthew had swallowed lying on the back of his hand, rubbing affectionately against his palm.

"This...how is this possible! Isn't this my demonic insect?!"

Looking back at the scene, Elena found it hard to accept; she realized that she had completely lost the ability to resist Matthew.

Unconvinced, she attacked again, attempting to subdue Matthew, who was almost in front of her.

But she found herself kneeling directly in front of him, her hands trembling as she unbuttoned her shirt.

Elena tried her best to control herself, but found it was no use; soon she was left only with her underwear.

Matthew, however, looked down at her with a cold expression, not as if admiring her, but as if looking at a dead person.

"That's enough, my patience is limited."

Feeling the chill emanating from Matthew, Elena's body trembled involuntarily, and tears welled up in the corners of her eyes.

She had never suffered such humiliation before.

At the same time, a deep sense of powerlessness and frustration rose within her, and she finally understood why her abilities were useless against Matthew.

Because in his eyes, neither her appearance nor her figure could arouse his interest in anything.

Even those olive branches and promises were just perfunctory gestures to get close to them and gain their trust.

"Elena, now you realize the difference between us. What you are so proud of is worthless to me."

"But you're a decent person. From now on, you'll follow me, and you'll get plenty of benefits."

When Matthew spoke in such a serious tone, Elena thought she had misheard.

An alchemist from a border town wants an imperial goddess to follow him? But looking at the other party's serious expression, it doesn't seem like he's joking.

Moreover, it seems that I have no right to refuse; after being marked, everything changed.

While Elena was still in a daze, Matthew picked up the clothes from the ground and draped them over her shoulders, while simultaneously stuffing the rock crystal worm into her hand.

The sudden turn of events left Elena momentarily stunned, and she raised her hand to wipe away the tears on her cheeks.

"What...what are you trying to pull now?"

Matthew stood up, a wicked smile slowly creeping onto his face as he stared at her with a mischievous grin.

"Goddess? From now on, you must call me...Master."
