Chapter 1028: Chapter 38: Persuading the Enchanting Demon Queen!_3 Ally’s flesh is still flesh. It’s best to fill up on it; if not, at least take a bite to taste if it’s salty.
The Enchanting Demon Queen Meikanshute’s expression finally changed drastically. She stared intently at the man in front of her, unsure of what he had seen or how much he knew. But she had a premonition that this mortal’s ambition was terrifyingly great, and he was likely an ’Ascender’.
In other words, someone preparing to ascend to godhood.
"If the Queen has no current targets, I can help you make a list."
"Considering that I have come alone to the Bottomless Abyss."
"I can only provide you with limited gifts."
Duncan calmly looked at the Enchanting Demon Queen before him. In the slightly trembling eyes of the red shroud-wearing one, which seemed to reveal some regret, he said lightly: "Sokos-Pinos, the Demon Lord who embodies incest and taboo sexual acts."
"King of the Gnolls - Yenogu."
"King of the Minotaurs - Baphomet."
"King of the Ghouls - Doreson."
"Which head does the Queen think would best decorate your luxurious and magnificent palace?"
Duncan has always been generous.
He can offer the Enchanting Demon Queen Meikanshute a price she cannot refuse.
The Enchanting Demon Queen has many enemies. Yenogu, the King of the Gnolls, is a recently active Demon Lord invading her dominion, while Baphomet, the King of the Minotaurs, competes with her for resources in the Bottomless Abyss. The King of the Ghouls is an add-on since the Ghouls have recently attacked Shadella’s border areas multiple times.
As for an ally, Sokos-Pinos, the Demon Lord who embodies incest and taboo sexual acts, has no substantial conflict with the Enchanting Demon Queen, but his Power Law is very useful to Meikanshute.
The Enchanting Demon Queen has always wanted to dip into the Forbidden Domain and master a more depraved Divine Position Law.
Silence filled the palace.
Duncan was waiting for a response, and the Enchanting Demon Queen was contemplating, scrutinizing the man with astonishment.
Is he confident? Or arrogant?
Duncan’s chosen targets have underlying arrangements. Yenogu’s territory houses a nearly dead Obiris Demon Lord, one of the ancient demons, caught between life and death. Eliminating Yenogu could allow significant gains from this Obiris Demon Lord.
Baphomet’s territory is near the castle of the Demon Mother – Cang Ye. If it’s possible to sneak into Experimental Town, Duncan might even rescue a batch of Angels from the Bottomless Abyss!
These were offspring from the Aici Celestial Race during the ancient war era, who ultimately fell into the Bottomless Abyss while counterattacking the Obiris Demons.
If Duncan could rescue them, he could directly enter the Starry King’s Court, where a group of Celestial race followers would likely join him.
As for Sokos-Pinos, the endeavor was purely to seize divinity. His domain was useless to Duncan, but the King of the Ghouls was also listed for deeper reasons, being one of the easiest targets to control the [Death] Domain.
It is widely known.
The ’Death’ Domain is notoriously hard to master within the Kingdom of Heaven, but the Bottomless Abyss conveniently hosts a Demon Lord tied to death, who is relatively weaker—the King of the Ghouls.
The Enchanting Demon Queen Meikanshute contemplated on her throne and after a long while, she slowly said, "What kind of support do you need?"
She doubted Duncan could slay a Demon Lord alone.
Yet she was tempted.
Now questioning Duncan, she was weighing the gains and preparing to wager some chips.
Duncan glanced at the red shroud beside him and said lightly, "Give me a Demon Legion, veteran warriors who’ve fought through the Abyssal Blood War."
"Also, let the red shroud lady assist me."
This meant that by meeting Duncan’s conditions, the Enchanting Demon Queen Meikanshute could freely choose one target from the list above.
No one could deny Duncan his due.
Once he’s done the job.
It would naturally be the Enchanting Demon Queen Meikanshute’s turn to get involved.
However, demons are innately greedy, with insatiable appetites; lacking strength, they still desire to bite off more than they can chew. At this moment, watching Duncan’s confident stance, the Enchanting Demon Queen even thought it would be splendid if this man could eliminate both her enemies and allies.
Preferrably, he would also take down her lover, the Demon Prince – Di Maoge Gen, but for now, this was merely a wild thought; actual implementation would probably take some time.
Because the Enchanting Demon Queen Meikanshute was secretly recruiting adventurers to backstab and severely wound the Demon Prince Di Maoge Gen, which was a future Abyssal story arc; after backstabbing the Demon Prince, Meikanshute had sought refuge under the Lord of Hell Asmodeus, only to later betray him and join the Neutral Fiend faction.
The Enchanting Demon Queen pondered for a moment before slowly uttering a name.
