Succubus Martial God Way, fight with 3,000 times sensitivity

Outside of Stone's manor, Livi, Marva and others were quietly waiting for Jessica's reply.

Mava was obviously quite bored waiting, and she didn't want to accompany the goblin mother to count ants. She was so bored that she could only look around bored.

In the end, he couldn't bear it any longer, so he could only smile and squat down next to Livi to ask questions.

"Boss Livi, do you think that human is willing to agree to join forces with us?"

Because of her height, Mawa squatted down obediently. Although Livi herself didn't care much about the height issue, the advantage of this was that it would be more convenient for Livi to rub her face or tap her forehead.

At that moment, Livi calmly held Aenekos and spoke...

"……do not know"

Livi really had no idea what the other party was thinking, but her meaning would not change. The other party was a force worth fighting for. Even if they could not cooperate, they hoped to maintain a relatively neutral and non-interference attitude.

Even if they could just take a step back and reach this mutually neutral attitude, Livi would be satisfied.

While they were chatting here, Meimei suddenly raised her head and said to Liwei with great surprise, "Your Highness Liwei, they have agreed to meet with us."

"Well, thank you for your hard work~"

The reason why we got a response so quickly was naturally because Livi had asked Meimei to release her sub-body and attach it to Jessica's body in advance, so we could actually hear all the conversation over there.

Although Meimei was teleported because after teleporting Livi, the remaining magic power was not enough to teleport Dullahan, Meimei was still very useful.

For example, she can share senses by splitting her offspring. This ability is really useful. If used properly, it is simply the best means of collecting intelligence.

However, Meimei is not very skilled in controlling the sub-body yet. After all, she is only Abaddon's sub-body. Although she has absorbed Abaddon's power and memory, she still cannot fully master Abaddon's skills in controlling the sub-body.

After all, Abaddon had gone through more than a hundred years of training to become one of the three demon generals, while Meimei was born less than a year ago. Naturally, no matter how talented she was, she couldn't catch up with Abaddon that quickly. She was not a demon king or a brave warrior.

Now her offspring are greatly limited in both number and control distance, and their intelligence is very low, and they are not able to control others by parasitizing their offspring like Abaddon.

But it's still very useful...

...In short, Meimei heard that the sub-body already knew that Stone agreed to meet with this side. This is good news. As long as the other party is willing to meet, cooperation will be possible.

"Let's go..."

Because they had given notice in advance, Livy and her group of young, who looked quite majestic, were able to enter Stone's manor without any hindrance.

Of course, even with advance warning, this group of goblins and imps, plus Livi, made the scene look quite eye-catching in many ways.

Even if I wanted to pretend that I didn't care, I couldn't do it.

The only thing to be thankful for is that, at least after being transformed by Livi's Mark of Submission, its appearance is still quite consistent with normal human aesthetics, and it doesn't look so weird.

Although it sounds hypocritical to say this, if a humanoid creature and an alien creature are fighting in an unfamiliar environment, most people will usually be more inclined to the humanoid creature at first glance.

After all, people make first impressions based on vision, and being good-looking does confer privileges in communication.

Especially Livi at this moment...

Again, regardless of other things, the succubus is at least quite good-looking. Pick out the worst one among all the races, and she would be stunningly beautiful even compared to ordinary people.

As a succubus, especially as the "Demon King Succubus" at this moment, Livi's appearance is quite good among succubi.

But with Mawa and the others watching closely, most people really don't dare to have any bad intentions.

Although the fact is that Livi is a much better fighter than anyone around her.

Stone had already prepared himself mentally. He had never seen the Brave Levi, but he had heard of many of his deeds. In other words, there was no one in the entire continent who had not heard of the Brave Levi's name.

When the Empire was promoting it, the image of a brave man was repeatedly exaggerated. In fact, Levi's image can only be said to have regular facial features, at least he did not have defects such as a crooked mouth, squinting eyes, or an overbite.

As long as most men have good facial features and a well-proportioned body, they can't be ugly...

...With a little packaging, he is almost the tall, handsome and brave man in Ina's mind.

Therefore, the image of a brave man in most normal people's minds is that of a young hero, and riding a horse can barely be considered as a "Prince Charming".

Then, the moment he saw Livi, all this image management was shattered.

"Brave Levi, now Demon King Livi... It's our first meeting, sorry to bother you..."

"?!"

When Livi got married to the princess in the empire, she was also arranged to cram in a series of court etiquette, and she managed to master the necessary social etiquette.

However, because Livi only remembered male etiquette, she used all male etiquette movements.

Of course, this was not a problem for Stone. As a minor noble, he was not particularly interested in the red tape of the imperial nobles.

However, a delicate loli who looked like she was not even an adult performed the gentleman's salute in a very elegant and generous manner. The strong sense of perversion and the shattered image of Levi in ​​the mind formed a strong contrast.

It was so severe that Stone was stunned for several minutes before he remembered to hastily return the gift.

Instead, it made him, as the host, seem a little helpless.

"Ahem, welcome, Mr. Brave..."

"I'm no longer a hero... Just call me Livi..."

Although he is no longer a hero, the identity of Demon King is obviously not very convenient. Livi is not a person who pays much attention to details, so she directly said that you can just call me by my name.

"Hmm, is that so? I'm sorry, Your Excellency Livy... This is incredible. I didn't expect that my first meeting with Your Excellency would turn out like this."

"Indeed, life is so wonderful. So, my purpose of coming here is..."

"I also know that Lady Livi wants to take revenge on the empire, so she hopes to cooperate with us..."

"Yes, I think, at least in terms of purpose, we have the same interests. Also, I need to correct one thing. My goal is not revenge on the empire. Of course, that is one of the necessary means to achieve the goal, but it is not my goal..."

"Oh, then, what is Lady Livy's real purpose?"

Stone became interested. He was very curious. This former brave man had returned to the main continent as a demon king. If revenge was not her goal, then what did she want to do?

"My goal is... to create a world where everyone can live equally!"

Chapter 163 Bargaining Chips

Create a world where everyone can live equally!

When this wish came out, even Stone was shocked.

If anyone else had said this, Stone would have raised his hand to say, "Don't give me that."

If the other person is a young man who is just starting out, then his heart should be good, but his ideas can only be described as unrealistic empty talk.

If the other party is a shrewd old fox, then Stone would just want to mock him, "You shout slogans well, but what about sincerity?"

When the empire interfered in the internal affairs of the five major dependencies, it also said that it was upholding justice. Everyone can say nice things, but the key lies in how to do it.

Livi's ideal sounds like either the delusion of a naive child who knows nothing about the world, or a lie used to cover up her real ambition.

But the person who said this was Livi, which made people feel that she was serious... and she might really be able to do it...

However, this feeling soon dissipated.

And Livi is still continuing...

"I think that if you are from the Dawn of the Abyss, you should be able to understand, right? Your wish is to get rid of the constraints of the empire and make the Kingdom of Abyss an independent country without having to look at the face of the empire. But I believe that the root of this goal is also to allow the citizens of the kingdom to live a better life..."

If that is not the case, and they just want to gain benefits from this, then there is no need for Livi to cooperate with the other party.

Indeed, the original intention of establishing Dawn of the Abyss was not necessarily to make the people of the kingdom live a better life, but only to free the kingdom from the constraints of the empire.

But as time went by, Abyss Dawn was not only oppressed by the Empire, but also opposed by the conservatives of the Kingdom. Most of its members were people like Ina and Juna who had a blood feud with the Empire.

They themselves are also victims of oppression by an unequal system, and they can empathize and understand the suffering of ordinary people.

So, in fact, this organization has existed for nearly a thousand years, but it has gone through several changes of ownership. The Dawn of the Abyss, which has been passed down to this day, exists to make the people of the kingdom live a better life.

Their basic wishes are the same as Livi's.

This is enough to form the basis for cooperation between the two sides...

...And in response to this, Stone spoke seriously.

"The vision you mentioned is a very beautiful wish. If it is true as you said, we can indeed cooperate. However, can we trust you? And what do you hope to gain from the cooperation?"

Since it is a cooperation, they must hope to get help from each other, so Livi must make two key points clear.

The first key point is, as a partner, what kind of help can Livi provide to Dawn of Abyss? The second key point is, as a partner, what kind of help does Livi hope to get from Dawn of Abyss?

Only when these two points are clear can cooperation be possible.

"Well, that's a good question, and it's very crucial. What I hope to get is not a specific kind of help, but I hope to get the full cooperation of the Dawn of the Abyss when necessary, and to fully call on the power of the Dawn of the Abyss!"

After these words were spoken, not only was Stone stunned, but even Jessica was stunned.

Because this is too cruel, just opening your mouth means you can mobilize all the power of the Dawn of the Abyss.

"It's such an important matter, I can't make the decision..."

"Of course. So, I only need to cooperate with you within the scope of your contact. For example, based solely on your personal ability, I can borrow all the forces you can mobilize in your manor when needed!"

To be honest, Stone originally maintained a relatively negative attitude towards cooperation. Although Livi had the identity of a hero, her last act of resistance against the empire was essentially a failure.

And now she has become a demon, and her identity has become even more sensitive.

But the fact that Livi could propose such conditions for cooperation is actually worrying. In this case, what kind of help can she provide in exchange for the full cooperation of Abyss Dawn?

"Well, as for the help I can provide, how about this? I take Abyss Abyss from the control of the Kingdom and the Empire and use it as a trade?"

"Cough cough..."

After saying this, Stone almost choked to death on his own saliva...

"...Abyss Abyss? You know what you are talking about, right?"

"Of course, the largest mineral vein in the Abyss Kingdom was once within the kingdom's territory, but 90% of the mined minerals were supplied to the Empire, and there were also Imperial garrisons guarding and supervising the work. It was actually the Empire's colonial industry in the Kingdom, right?"

"..."

That’s right, this place called Abyss, although nominally belongs to the kingdom’s territory, the kingdom is only responsible for mining, and all the mined ore is supplied to the empire.

The Empire calls it "protection", and all the workers in the entire Abyss are from the Kingdom, but the damn troops stationed there are from the Empire.

It is more like supervision than protection, to ensure that the kingdom does not play tricks during the mining process. At the same time, it is also for another reason.

The Abyss itself is a huge bottomless abyss, divided into several layers, and the mineral veins are distributed in the abyss tunnels. The deeper you go, the richer the mineral veins are, but the more difficult it is to mine.

It would be fine if it was just the depth of the ore vein that made mining difficult, but deep in the Abyss, there were also "monsters" living...

Specifically, it is a lizard-like creature with a completely black body.

This creature has thick skin and is extremely ferocious. It lives underground for many years, so its eyesight has degenerated, but it has extremely strong hearing and sense of smell.

Although their fighting power is not as strong as that of monsters, after all, a place like Abyss is not very suitable for military operations, and monsters as "natives" are more adapted to the environment inside the pit.

Monsters are not a big threat in direct combat, but they can be quite dangerous as they can attack workers by sneak attacks in the mines.

As for the so-called protection of the imperial army, there is naturally no need to expect them to go down into the pit to patrol. Their main function should be to guard outside the pit to prevent the monsters inside from running out.

As mentioned before, the monsters themselves are not particularly powerful. They would be defeated easily if they encounter regular troops in broad daylight. However, it would be difficult to attack them by sneak attack in a pit. Therefore, these monsters have been trapped in the Abyss for thousands of years and have never seen the light of day.

However, the work of mining in the mines was extremely dangerous because of the existence of monsters. Of course, the people of the Empire would not take risks themselves, so they let the people of the Kingdom of Abyss take charge of the mining, and they were only responsible for guarding outside. It can be said that it was a win-win situation...

...refers to the Empire winning twice

In addition to strangling an important economic lifeline of the Abyss Kingdom, this was also an important symbol of the Abyss Kingdom being controlled by the Empire, similar to some kind of humiliating treaty.

And if we can really take Abyss back from the control of the Empire...

"...If that's the case, it would be a huge benefit to your actions~"

Chapter 164 A Small Determination

The huge benefit?

No, this is simply impossible to describe in words. After all, the Abyss does not only represent practical interests, but can also be seen as a symbol of the kingdom being dominated and exploited by the empire.

This is like a fiefdom that was forcibly "leased" or "ceded". Regardless of the economic value and strategic significance of the land itself, the simple fact is that the land was once taken away by force, so taking it back or "liberating" it has invaluable symbolic significance.

And its important symbolic significance outweighs its economic value.

As I said, don’t look at what people say, look at what they do.

The Dawn of the Abyss keeps saying that it wants to liberate the kingdom from being constrained by the Empire, but so far it has only been making small moves within the territory of the Kingdom of Abyss. The commotion it has caused can only be said to have caused "certain inconveniences" to the Empire, which is far from being a problem.
