Upon seeing Cynthia's fair body gigantified with many tumors and flowers growing on it, making her look like a strange tree, Klein couldn't help but shiver when he heard her shy and low request. All his hair stood on end.
Such a scene was terrifying beyond human imagination. Even in his dreams, he had never seen such a scene before.
If he were facing Megose in Tingen, Klein would've definitely been affected by such a scene. He would've temporarily lost the ability to react due to his horror and panic, but after experiencing so much, he was a seasoned Beyonder in the truest sense of the word. At the same time Cynthia's words entered his ears, the glove on his left hand silently changed color.
It turned deep black, exuding a noble and sinister feeling. This meant that Klein had activated Creeping Hunger and switched to Wormtongue Misol's soul, transforming into a Baron of Corruption!
In that instant, he "Distorted" Cynthia's words, turning "General, I want to have a child with you" into "General, I only want to have a child with you."
This way, Klein believed that the general's guards and male attendants surrounding the tree-like monster would definitely be pushed away by Cynthia, who had her wills distorted. They would be thrown far away to gain a chance to catch a breather.
As for whether this would expose him as the real Admiral Amyrius, he wasn't concerned. At such a moment, a person who cared if true acting could be completed was definitely someone with severe obsessive-compulsive disorder, and he clearly wasn't one.
In addition, in an environment where all kinds of desires were magnified to the extreme, Klein suspected that the others who had been affected wouldn't be able to pay attention to the exact situation of the battle.
The Baron of Corruption's "Distortion" powers were silently activated, but Klein was surprised to see that the men surrounding Cynthia didn't have any changes in their actions. They weren't repelled at all!
It's clearly already Distorted … The mutated Cynthia is actually able to directly resist such effects … Klein's pupils constricted as he suddenly jumped two steps to the side.
Where he was originally standing, a brown tree branch drilled out. At its tip was a flower that was dripping with sticky liquid.
The flower was abnormally large, and when it bloomed, it seemed like it could devour an entire person.
Although Klein had never seen the man-eating flowers in the Southern Continent's primitive rainforest, he didn't believe that they could be more terrifying or exaggerated than this!
Pa! Pa! Pa!
The same branches drilled out of the walls, floor, and ceiling. They carried wet flowers and chased after Klein from all directions.
During this process, the flowers bit the golden-haired secretary, Luan's head, as well as the surrounding guards, servants, and servants who were partying on the carpet.
At this time, with the previous "distortion" ability being resisted, Klein did not hesitate to pull out his right hand, holding the dark golden high-level charm in his palm.
Ninth Law!
He originally didn't plan on using the charm so quickly. It wasn't that he couldn't bear to use it, but that he hoped to engage in battle for a while and confirm what the monster Cynthia had mutated into was good at before doing a targeted weakening. After all, the Ninth Law couldn't make broad restrictions. The content had to be sufficiently specific. For example, it couldn't make any Beyonder powers lose their effectiveness, but it could designate one Beyonder power to be ineffective. To maximize its value, careful observation and keen judgment were the prerequisites!
However, the present situation left Klein with no choice but to use his trump card. Otherwise, he suspected that he wouldn't be able to harm the tree-like monster at all!
If the Ninth Law charm can't create an environment that can kill the monster, I'll immediately use it to escape the villa and lure Cynthia outside. Then, I'll find an opportunity to pray and head above the gray fog to use the Sea God Scepter to launch a blanket attack! As this thought flashed through his mind, Klein, who was constantly jumping between the branches and flowers, chanted a word in ancient Hermes:
"Law!"
As the activation incantation reverberated, the dark golden charm in Klein's palm turned ice-cold, a coldness that made one lose all emotions.
At that moment, Klein used this to reach an extremely calm state. While throwing out the Ninth Law charm, his thoughts raced as he considered what he should restrict.
His first reaction was to forbid any desire, but he knew that it was too broad. Therefore, he thought of changing it to forbid the desire to procreate. After all, Cynthia's wish was to have a child with Admiral Amyrius. The influence she showed on her surroundings was mainly in this aspect!
Just as the Ninth Law charm flew into the air and transformed into dark golden points of light that emanated in every direction, Klein suddenly thought of a problem.
Cynthia was an ordinary person in the past!
This was an undeniable fact!
Over the past three nights, Klein had used Spirit Vision and divination to repeatedly confirm that Cynthia wasn't a Beyonder.
Similarly, if she was, Admiral Amyrius, who could directly distinguish ordinary people from Beyonders, would've long discovered her.
Therefore, the reason why she suddenly mutated into a monster was a problem that he had to pay attention to!
Could it be that she was like Megose, and through some ritual, she became a vessel for an evil god's descent? No, if there was a ritual, it's impossible for me not to discover it. My spiritual intuition would've warned me not to activate my Spirit Vision or look directly at Cynthia … There's some item or characteristic on her that allows external powers to project over. Therefore, nothing happened the first two nights, but the sudden change tonight … Regardless, her horror comes from the outside world and not from herself … Klein quickly made a judgment in those two seconds. Without any hesitation, he seized the opportunity and said in a deep voice,
"Interaction with the outside world is prohibited here!"
Ancient Hermes that was filled with mystery instantly spread out as the scattered dark golden light interwove to form countless symbols and magic labels that resembled laws before fusing into the void.
Hum!
Klein suddenly heard a light hum in his ears as though he saw an invisible light filled with desire being repelled outside the room.
Following that, an illusory and resplendent starry sky appeared in front of him. A star that was emitting a bright light appeared.
Pa! Pa! Klein's eyeballs exploded as a mixture of blood and liquid flowed out in a hideous and terrifying manner.
Although he had used the Ninth Law charm to isolate the external influence, the level of the power was extremely high. Just a normal backlash was enough to penetrate the natural protection of a high-level charm and blow up his eyes!
The damage was rapid and without any warning. Klein didn't even have the chance to use Paper Figurine Substitutes, just like Nimblewright Master Rosago.
If not for the Ninth Law charm, his eyes wouldn't have been the only thing that exploded. He might've even become a monster like Cynthia!
At the same time, the towering tree-like Cynthia came to a halt. Her body suddenly disintegrated, turning into a pool of flesh and blood with brownish-green tumors. The surrounding guards and male attendants collapsed to the ground, unconscious by the bedside or on the ground.
Cynthia's head was embedded in the mass of flesh and blood as she muttered to herself,
"Admiral, I want to have a child with you …
"Admiral, I want to have a child with you …
…
She tried her best to extend the remnant branches on the ceiling and walls, instantly binding the dazed Klein and dragging him towards her.
Klein recovered a little as he immediately struggled with all his might. Be it his attempt to snap his fingers to ignite a flame or switch to Creeping Hunger, he found it difficult to succeed due to his arms being bound tightly.
Seeing the brownish-green tumors approaching, Klein suddenly had a thought. He changed his appearance from Admiral Amyrius to German Sparrow, a German Sparrow with bloodstained eyes!
The entangling branches paused for a second before strangely loosening. They flailed around as though they were trying to grab something.
Cynthia's head was filled with disappointment and confusion as she muttered,
"Admiral, where did you go …
"Admiral, where did you go …"
Without any external resistance, she was finally influenced by the Baron of Corruption's Distortion. All she wanted was to have a child with Admiral Amyrius and spare German Sparrow.
Klein flipped to his feet and pressed his right hand to his eyes. With a sudden pull, he transferred the ruptured wound to his left shoulder.
While his left shoulder turned into a bloody mess, Creeping Hunger was dyed with a pure and resplendent glow.
Klein looked pitifully at Cynthia's head in the pile of flesh and blood as he spread his arms to the sides.
A bright pillar of light with holy flames swirling around it descended from midair, enveloping the monster that had been reduced to a pile of flesh and blood.
