Please be my partner.

Just when Barbara was torn between conscience and desire... the sky collapsed!

It was an indescribable supreme power. Legendary demons and demon lords were like ants in front of this power.

With one strike, an area of 100 kilometers was wiped out, as easy as brushing off a piece of dust.

Fortunately, the blockade of the demon army prevented Barbara from reaching the original agreed location, otherwise she would have turned into nothingness under this attack.

Even so, even though it had tried desperately to escape before the blow landed, it was still seriously injured when the aftermath of the blow spread.

Chapter 250: Confiscation of Property and [Equal Evil]

When Mellen found Barbara, she was weak and looked nervous, like a frightened bird.

After realizing that Mellen was still at level three, Barbara felt inexplicably relieved, and at the same time, she felt funny. She had been wondering whether that devastating blow was the work of the other party, but now it seemed completely impossible!

After completing her mental preparation and gaining a psychological advantage, Barbara relaxed a lot and asked, "Where's the golden beast? It's not with you?"

Mellen gave Barbara a strange look, with no intention of answering her question. He said, "Where's what I want? Give it to me quickly. I'm in a hurry."

Barbara's face darkened, she snorted coldly, and threw a memory crystal over.

After Melen took it and used the power of fantasy to read the contents, a satisfied smile appeared on his face.

After getting the information he wanted, Melen turned and left.

Seeing this, Barbara asked anxiously, "Wait a minute, you haven't told me the third thing you need me to do!"

For Barbara, the Abyss Contract is like a time bomb that may explode at any time, dragging her into an irretrievable situation. She now only wants to complete the contract quickly and resolve this potential crisis.

As for dragging Mellen down with him?

Unconsciously, this thought had gradually disappeared from his mind. After all, he had already paid enough. If the news of his signing of the Abyss Contract with humans were to be leaked out at this time, it would be better for him to die right from the start.

Mellen said casually: "I haven't thought about the third condition yet. I'll tell you when I think of it."

Seeing Mellen leave, Barbara became anxious and shouted, "Wait! Stop right there! I..."

Mellen tilted his head slightly, his eyes cold and indifferent.

Barbara's words came to an abrupt end when she saw the look in Mellen's eyes. The whole demon froze in place, and the chill in its heart slowly subsided until Mellen left.

It didn't understand why a mere third-level human made it instinctively afraid, and it didn't even realize the trace of fear that had been hidden deep in its heart from the beginning to the end.

Mellen ignored Barbara's thoughts because he was in a hurry, really in a hurry.

At this time, almost six hours have passed since the death of Segundo and the other three demon lords. Because of the power of the saint that wiped out everything within a radius of 100 kilometers, although all kinds of rumors are flying around in the areas of the three demon lords, no demon has any truly accurate and reliable information, or even if they do, the first thing they think of is to make profits for themselves.

Therefore, for Melen, now is a great opportunity to raid the lairs of the three demon lords and put the spoils that should belong to him into his own pocket.

Because of this, he hurried to complete the contract with Barbara and obtain relevant information.

Melen's first stop was naturally the demon lord named Segundo. He always felt that the latter's behavior when he saw him was too deliberate, and seemed to be trying hard to hide something. Then he thought about the bad premonition that made him leave the abyss world before, and the grand "welcome ceremony" prepared by the other party in advance after his return.

There's something wrong with this Segundo!

Perhaps some special clues can be found in the opponent's lair.

Well, and treasures!

Garuru transformed into a single-person flying shuttle and crossed hundreds of kilometers in just over ten minutes to arrive at the Demon Castle where Segundo usually stayed.

Demons are not orderly creatures to begin with. With rumors spreading everywhere, the entire Demon City has been thrown into chaos, with fighting, killing, and looting everywhere. Even with the demon army trying to suppress them, it would be of no avail because many demon generals have their own little thoughts.

Mellen transformed into a demon and hid his body. With the guidance of Garuru's transformed scanner, he wandered in the chaotic Demon Castle as if he was strolling in a garden, feeling like he was walking through a field of flowers without getting a single leaf on him.

Soon, he arrived at the center of Demon City, in front of a magnificent and huge palace.

At this time, several legendary demons were leading their respective demon armies to confront each other outside the palace, with greed and fear flashing in their eyes.

"Rostand, Demon City is in chaos right now. Why are you here instead of stationed in Area XC? Do you really think the Lord has been killed and want to take advantage of the situation?!"

"Freeman, stop spitting bloody words at me. I think you're the ones who are bewitched and have believed the rumors, thinking of taking over the Lord's palace! I'm here to stop you!"

"Rostand, don't think I don't know what you and Freeman are thinking. As the commander of the Lord's Guards, I will never let you set foot in Lord Segundo's palace. Get back to your defense zone now, or else when Lord Segundo returns, the Soul-Eating Palace will be your final destination!"

Hearing the words "Soul-Eating Hall", the noisy legendary demons suddenly fell silent, and their eyes looking at the commander of the guards were full of grimness.

The commander of the Royal Guards was stunned for a moment, then startled. He pointed at the legendary demons and said in sudden realization, "You...you..."

After a moment of silence, Freeman said, "Lares, tell us, is something really wrong with Lord Segundo?!"

Lares, the commander of the Royal Guards, stepped back slightly and said, "Do you really want to believe those rumors?!"

Rostand said, "Whether it's a rumor or not doesn't count. I've already been there. I don't know what the Lord was looking for when he summoned the army near Yasin City, but now the area within a hundred kilometers has been wiped out by the powerful force of the Saint level. Even the Lord can't escape unscathed with the power of the Saint level. It's likely that..."

"Get out of the way, Lares. There's no point in blocking the way here. Or do you actually want to take the lord's inheritance for yourself?!"

"That's right, Lares, open the palace's protective shield. Without the Lord's permission, this shield is only one-tenth of its maximum strength. You should also understand that it can't stop us!"

Lares looked at the legendary demons who were approaching step by step, his face a little gloomy.

Suddenly, a legendary demon frowned and said, "Strange, what is this smell?"

The legendary demon not far away asked in confusion, "What's that smell?"

The former legendary demon looked at the latter and said, "Don't you smell it? It's so obvious."

The latter looked around and noticed that the demons who were making noises here all looked puzzled, obviously not understanding what was going on.

At this moment, a legendary demon suddenly shouted, "Oh no! It's poison! A demon is poisoning us!"

A legendary demon with a deep understanding of poisons said, "Impossible! I've dabbled in all kinds of poisons in the Abyss, and this one clearly isn't... Wait, could it be those cross-border merchants? Or visitors from another world?"

Just as the demons were on guard, wisps of green mist rolled up in the sky, forming a huge green mist dog. The original hidden poison was instantly activated. The legendary demon in front of the palace suddenly fell down and lost consciousness. If he was not treated in time, he would probably die in a short time. Although the legendary demon temporarily suppressed the toxins in his body, it was also weakened to varying degrees.

The poisonous gas around the Corrupted Dog spread, enveloping the entire palace. Low-level demons would fall down upon contact with it. For the Green Mist Dog, it was more suitable for dealing with weaker enemies.

"BOOM!~BOOM!~BOOM!~BOOM!~BOOM!~"

The huge vibration sound turned from low to rapid. A fifty-meter-tall mechanical giant, gleaming with a black sheen, suddenly rushed over, psychic beams, elemental cannons, focused particle bombs, gravity waves...

Garuru flexibly transformed mechanical weapons one after another, combined with his own high physical and magical resistance, and with the help of the Corrupted Dog, he was able to suppress the five demons present who were all above the mid-legendary stage.

"Boom!~"

A huge energy bomb hit the palace's protective shield, temporarily opening a gap, but it quickly closed again. This scene seemed to be an accident and did not attract the attention of the demons.

Melen walked slowly into the palace and took off his disguise. He looked around and found that the palace was very empty. There was a throne in the center and a shelf next to the throne, on which seemed to be something.

Mellen waved his hand slightly, and a series of crisp laughter suddenly rang out in the empty hall, and dozens of palm-sized elves danced around him.

These elves are naturally fairy-tale creatures. They have a special perception of extraordinary powers and extraordinary treasures, and can help Melen search for valuable items in the palace.

Letting the elves scatter to search, Melen himself slowly walked to the throne. Only then did he see clearly that what was placed on the shelf were actually black crystals. Moreover, these crystals had a common feature: they all contained souls sealed inside.

After watching for a while, Mellen frowned. These souls gave him an extremely uncomfortable feeling. After watching for a long time, vague images of corpses and blood, and cruel killings flowed through his mind, even changing his thinking and making him feel that bloody killing and committing all kinds of evil were normal things.

Of course, these images have no effect on Melen.

On the top shelf, there was a gray-black crystal placed alone. The crystal was in the shape of a regular triangular cube. The moment he saw it, Melen suddenly had the illusion that all the sins in the world were contained in it.

In a trance, Melen saw...

A homeless little beggar, so hungry that his eyes were dizzy, looked at the hot buns just out of the oven in the shop. The clarity in his eyes gradually turned into greed and ferocity. When the shop owner was not paying attention, he snatched the buns and ran away.

A few idle thugs grinned and pushed an honest office worker into a corner, beat him up, and then took out all the money from his bag.

An official just casually drew a few strokes, and most of the disaster relief funds were pocketed by him. The victims received no help, and under the natural and man-made disasters, after one winter, there were starving people everywhere.

The almighty emperor started wars at will for his own pleasure. Hundreds of thousands of soldiers shed their blood on the battlefield and countless families were torn apart.

At the same time, Mellen also saw...

The fat and strong shopkeeper caught up with the little beggar, kicked him to the ground, looked at the buns that fell on the ground, spat on them with disdain, and then stepped on them into pieces.

Seeing his last bit of savings being taken away, and thinking about having to sleep on the streets because he couldn't pay the rent, the office worker's eyes suddenly turned red. He picked up a piece of broken wood on the ground and stabbed it directly into the heart of the gangster in front of him, then pounced on the other gangsters like crazy.

The victims who could not survive eventually became a mob. They rushed into every town and killed all the powerful officials and landlords. The official who embezzled disaster relief funds was naturally no exception and died in a riot.

After the emperor started many wars, the country was depleted and the people were living in poverty. With the collusion of officials, the prince succeeded to the throne, and the emperor, as expected... died.

After a long moment, Melen came to his senses and muttered to himself, "Is this... evil?"

By now he had understood that this gray-black crystal contained a legacy called... [Equal Evil].

This inheritance is not an extraordinary profession, but rather a secret method that can increase the quality of "evil" in one's own soul by continuously digesting extremely evil souls, thereby reaching the point of bearing all the evil in the world.

When the cultivation of the extremely evil soul recorded in [Equal Evil] is completed, when one is in the world, the extremely evil soul will naturally be able to touch all the "evil" in the world and control them at will.

The evil in the world continues, and the evil in oneself will last forever!

However, the extremely evil soul corresponds to the saint level.

After seeing the secret inheritance of [Equal Evil], Melen felt weird. This was a completely different system from the mainstream extraordinary professions in the Starry Universe, but what was certain was that it was within the scope of the rules of the universe. It was somewhat similar to the racial skills of the awakening of extraordinary life, but this skill was acquired through training.

The soul itself has weight. For most people of the same race, the weight of their souls is essentially the same. Only after they have cultivated to an extremely high level will the difference in weight increase.

However, this is not without exception. Some lives may be born with strong souls, or may have some special features. In short, they are born different.

Suppose there is a soul born with a special talent for extreme evil, and perhaps it can easily cultivate [Equal Evil] to complete, then can it leap from a mortal to a saint?!

That's why Melen felt that this secret inheritance was strange.

His fingertips lightly touched the inheritance crystal of [Equal Amount of Evil], and a unique perspective appeared before him. From this perspective, he could see one side of the soul, the side of 'evil'.

At this moment, Melen understood the whole thing and understood why the demon lord named Segundo targeted him, or rather, the latter was targeting Xiao Honglian!

Chapter 251 Retire after success

"So, Xiao Honglian is a special individual with an extremely evil and specially crafted soul?"

Mellen was speechless when he thought of the tiny creature that had been so easily squashed and twisted in his hands. How could such a cute little thing possess such an evil soul?!

Thinking of this, Melen returned to the fairy tale kingdom with the gray-black crystal. His real body was still sleeping on the throne, and a ray of blood flashed from time to time on his body. It was Little Red Lotus consuming its energy to heal him. Little Liuli, who was gently beside his feet, was also trying to meditate.

Following Mellen's call, Little Red Lotus condensed into a small body and appeared in front of him. Under the strange gaze of the little guy, he looked at it carefully for a moment, then suddenly reached out and pinched it in his hand and began to knead it.

Xiao Honglian naturally began to "resist" fiercely.

A few minutes later, the little guy suddenly woke up, turned into a streak of blood and escaped from Mellen's clutches, then stretched out a little paw to stop him, his little face full of seriousness and solemnity.

"Master, I'm fully focused on healing your injuries and don't have time to play with you. If you're really bored, go play with the big dogs!"

Melen waved to Xiao Honglian with a strange look on his face. Although the little guy looked resistant, his body still floated over involuntarily.

"Master, you're distracting me. At most, I can only play with you for a little while, just a little while!"

Mellen scratched Xiao Honglian's chin, and the little guy lay on his hand with a comfortable expression.

After teasing Xiao Honglian for a while, Melen told her about the secret inheritance of [Equal Evil].

Xiao Honglian was also very interested after hearing this. If it could directly possess the combat power of a saint level, it would be able to better protect its master and would not let its master get hurt like today.

At the urging of the little guy, Melen took out the gray-black crystal and looked at its soul.

From the perspective of 'evil', Melen saw a deep darkness in Little Honglian's soul. It was surging and roaring, but because of some invisible constraints, it could only churn in the little guy's soul.

According to the records in [Equal Evil], although the "evil" in Xiao Honglian's soul also has some innate special factors, most of it is acquired.

This seems to be related to Xiao Honglian's race, the [Blood Septic Demon].

Even though the great existence, the endless sea of blood, destroyed one world after another, there was rebirth after destruction, and those lives in the sea of blood were born because of this.

But the [Blood Demon] is different. Although this kind of life was born in the endless sea of blood and walks the same path of blood, it only devours and destroys. Its existence itself represents an extremely pure "evil"!

This 'evil' doesn't even have anything to do with their behavior.

Therefore, if Xiao Honglian practices [Equal Amount of Evil], she does not need to devour other souls with "evil" to increase the quality of her own soul. She only needs to quickly transform her own soul over time. It is likely that it will not take long for her to become an extremely evil soul and have the ability to carry the evil of the world.

After Xiao Honglian understood this, her eyes lit up and she looked eager to try.

But after thinking for a moment, Melen put away the gray-black crystal and had no intention of letting Xiao Honglian practice it.

Little Honglian blinked and looked at her master in confusion. It was obvious that she could make it have the combat power of a saint in a short period of time. Isn't that great?

Mellen shook his head and said, "The inherited secret technique of [Equal Evil] seems promising, but it's ultimately about transforming the soul. The unknown risks involved are too uncertain, so I won't consider it for now."

Xiao Honglian felt a little sorry, but she also unconditionally supported her master's decision.

Mellen certainly hopes that the dogs can quickly improve their strength, but now that they already have the means of a saint...

Well, although this method is a bit costly and the 'cooling down' time is a bit long.

...There is absolutely no need to let the dogs take unnecessary risks to try this secret method with unknown results.
