The resplendent hall is in a mess. Even though the host is trying his best to maintain order, he is unable to stop the discussions of the underground city lords on the seats.
Even though some of them were scammed, to be able to scam everyone and to be able to get this suggestion to be voted on in the Alliance Conference, this shows the strength of Sulfur Mountain City. The decision made in the Alliance Conference isn't a joke and it can't be changed. Otherwise, the trust of the entire Alliance will be shaken.
The Fifth Autarch — Sulfur Mountain City, this is the term that the underground city lords are talking about the most and it is the reality in most of their hearts.
The sudden ascension of a new Underground Autarch is equivalent to a reshuffling of the power distribution in the Alliance Conference. If it isn't handled properly, it might cause hundreds of wars and redraw the territories of the major powers. This sudden omen represents endless trouble and … a rare opportunity.
The underground city lords who are able to enter the Inner Hall aren't easy to deal with. These days, who doesn't have some ambition? If Sulfur Mountain City can ascend, then why can't I? Furthermore, the new Autarch is lacking in supporters. Perhaps, we can rely on him to obtain more resources and backing … Countless desires and ideas make the underground city lords start to think. Naturally, the atmosphere in the hall becomes strangely heated.
The little conflict between the Dragon Queen and me, other than a few people sitting close to us, not many people noticed it.
However, it is a pity that not many people noticed it. At this moment, the Dragon Queen Molly, who shocked the entire underground world, is baring her fangs at a little dwarf like an enraged old cat. Furthermore, she can only be fierce with her mouth. Even an Underground Autarch wouldn't dare to make a move in the Alliance Conference.
What's more, it is a pity that she, who is used to being unreasonable, is trying to be reasonable. However, that silly looking dwarf is trying to be unreasonable.
"Stare … What are you staring at! Stare … stare at me and I will eat you! "
The shameless dwarf ignores the Dragon Queen's restraint. His arrogance makes the eyes of the surrounding audience pop out. However, I know that this threat is real. If Ah Dang says that he will eat him, then he really intends to eat him. Furthermore, he is likely to be able to eat him.
But now, the camp is still under attack and it isn't the time to continue wasting time with the Dragon Queen who is obviously stalling for time.
"Ah Dang, before I give the order, you are not allowed to eat any living being."
Immediately, Ah Dang's face turned bitter, but he still nodded his head.
However, it is fortunate that Ah Dang's elder brother gave him the name Adam, so that the Dragon Empress wouldn't be able to recognize Ah Dang's nickname from the start … Ah Dang is such a good name, why can't he be a proper name? I am still unable to understand.
"Abbe (Demonic Void Hound Bastian) is the same as well. To think that he is the leader of the Four Heavenly Kings, the eldest of the Seven Deadly Sins, Wrath. Yet, he still refuses to give me a name. Look at how obedient Abbe (Chromaggus) and Ah Dang are. They are already used to being called by their pet names. Now, they probably won't even remember their real names."
In the void, a familiar voice was heard from the emergency channel that they had agreed upon beforehand.
"Are they here yet? I can't hold on for much longer against three Undead Monarchs. If you don't send reinforcements, I'm going to run away with my men."
There isn't the slightest hint of the pride of the Dragons in the legends. Since they can't win, they are prepared to run away without hesitation. Actually, what Little Red is doing is the standard behavior of Dragons. The Dragons in the legends who fight to the death without retreating is something that the dragons are unable to understand.
"Why aren't you afraid when you clearly can't win? Why did you come down to fight with those metal cans? Are you stupid?"
However, looking at how Little Red is getting more and more anxious, this isn't the time to waste time.
"Let's go."
I pulled Ah Dang, who was baring his fangs at the Dragon Empress, intentionally ignoring the increasingly cold gaze behind me and the mysterious drool that Ah Dang was drooling at the Dragon Empress … While the Dragon Empress was still clutching her injured leg, she didn't stop us. Actually, she unexpectedly found out that she instinctively fears that little dwarf. Her eyes are filled with confusion.
"Heh, think about it slowly. I don't believe that you can guess that this little Dwarf is the infamous Carnivore Adam."
However, looking at the venomous gaze that the Dragon Empress is giving us, the trouble has only just begun.
"Eliza, stay behind to help Anne. I don't feel at ease leaving her alone."
"No, I want to go … Furthermore, didn't you say that you want to train her to be independent? This is such a good opportunity."
I turn my head back in shock, only to see Eliza's rare determination. "I feel that there is something waiting for me ahead. I have to go. Perhaps, it might be of help to me in breaking through to Legend. "
People who are stuck at a bottleneck often have an inexplicable intuition about the opportunity to break through. Since she has already said so, I have no reason to reject her.
"Diana, Victoria, enter the inner city to help Anne. Victoria, it is time for you to perform. Don't disappoint me. Diana, if someone doesn't allow you to enter, just go ahead and beat them up. No.3 and No.4 will stay here to support the situation. As for the rest of the Roland Robots, follow me back. Our camp is going to have some fun. "
After making a simple arrangement, I leave Xueti to take charge of it. Then, I jump onto the head of Roland No.2 and hitch a ride. "Rumble", "Rumble", a series of tremors cause the buildings on both sides of the road to tremble.
Sitting on the head of No.2, I close my eyes and go into deep thought. Behind me, Eliza consoles me.
"Don't worry, with Lord Ein Mezus (Little Red) around, along with the defensive power of the camp, there won't be any problems."
I nod my head but didn't say anything. I won't tell her that I wasn't worried at all. I was just hesitating whether to shout "Autobots, transform and set off!" or "Decepticons, transform and set off!" would sound more impressive.
However, looking at the nervous expressions of the people around me, I felt that it would be better not to court death and speak the truth.
"Haha, this is fun. Dad, this isn't a living thing, can it be eaten?"
The drooling Ah Dang bounces around like a ball being played by the robot. Even so, there isn't any possibility of him falling down. At this moment, he is pointing at Roland No.2 beneath his feet. Looks like the huge size of the robot has triggered his appetite.
"No, Ah Dang. Also, you aren't allowed to call me Ah Dad here. Just call me Wumianzhe or Lord."
"Okay, Ah Dad."
"Wumianzhe …"
"Yes, Ah Dad."
"The heck, can't you stop being so stubborn?"
"… Ah Dad, Ah Dang is the one who isn't stubborn. Ah Dad is Ah Dad. "
Alright, considering that this joke has been used so many times that it isn't funny anymore, I should just skip the tug-of-war with little Ah Dang. In the end, under the smile of Eliza who is watching the commotion, I admit defeat. Let him call me whatever he wants, I don't care anymore.
However, it seems that from the start, Eliza knew that this little Dwarf isn't my biological son. Her behavior in the hall is just her habitual venomous tongue acting up.
"Of all the people she could learn from, she chose to learn from Marguerite, that gutless one. The Saints are used to observing the changes of the world from the perspective of a bystander. But sometimes, observing from the sidelines means being passive. Thinking too much and considering too much, they lack the courage to change. Not mentioning anything else, in terms of feelings, if she had the slightest bit of courage, she would have pushed Adam down long ago and forced that fool to take responsibility. Is there a need to drag it out till now? Sometimes, being too gentle and caring about other people's feelings isn't necessarily a good thing. Isn't it good to be a little selfish? In this world, there isn't a perfect ending where everyone is happy. "
After hesitating for a moment, I increase the volume of my 'muttering to myself'.
"Furthermore, Marguerite is Marguerite and Eliza is Eliza. If she can't even see this clearly, how can she have the right to form a Soul Imprint that belongs solely to her and prove to the world that she is a transcendent existence, surpassing the masses and opening the path of a Legend."
Despite my 'soft' muttering, Eliza, who has sharp ears, heard it clearly. Her body trembles slightly and the gaze she looks at me with becomes even more complicated … Speaking up to this point, not only is it enough, it is already considered too much. I turn my head to ask Ah Dang.
"Ah Dang, you can't have come alone, right? Who brought you here? "
"Big Sister Gria."
"Who?" I stare blankly for a moment. There isn't one called Gria among the Undead Lords. Could it be that a super newbie has appeared recently? To be able to guide Ah Dang and not be treated as backup food, that isn't something a normal Undead Lord can do.
"It's … It's that big sister whose singing is the worst!" Hearing that I don't understand, Ah Dang starts to panic.
"It's Gray.Sin! You can just say that she is the Throat of Death. Could it be that because there are too many victims and her reputation is too bad, she decided to change her name to deceive others to continue attending her death concert? "Hearing that her singing is terrible, I instantly think of the familiar Bone Dragon Queen.
Gray.Sin's singing has reached the level of mental pollution, yet she doesn't have any self-awareness. Her actions of continuously creating victims has already made her more famous than herself.
"Other than Ah Pa, if anyone else calls her that, Big Sister Gria will beat them up. Ah Dang doesn't want to get beaten up. "
"Hehe, it can't be that you can't defeat her. My Ah Dang won't lose to any Senator. "
"No, Ah Dang doesn't beat big brother and big sister. Ah Dang is very obedient. Whoever dares to bully big brother, big sister and Ah Pa, Ah Dang will beat them up. Ah Pa, isn't Ah Dang very obedient? "
"So obedient! This is what a good child should be. " I happily hug this little cutie and along the way, I turn around and blink at Eliza, indicating to her that this is how an obedient child should be.
"… Sigh, I really regret it. She was such a cute little girl in the past, just what went wrong? How did she become such a sharp-tongued housekeeper today …"
Alright, for the sake of my precious collection, I better keep my words to myself and not provoke her casually.
"Ah Pa, Ah Pa, Big Sister Gria flies really fast. I got her to help fight first."
The little dwarf sniffled and jumped up and down happily, like a child looking forward to being praised.
"Does she know the location?"
"… I, I got her to fly towards the southwest direction of the city and beat up any annoying person she sees." Even though it doesn't make sense, but for experts who aren't that intelligent, even their cultivation relies on their instincts. Intuition is usually stronger than careful thinking. Obviously, Ah Dang and Adam belong to the physical intuition faction.
"… Bone Dragon Queen Gray.Sin is here. She is actually helping me …" Little Red's message made me heave a sigh of relief. Gray.Sin's singing might be unreliable, but her fighting prowess is reliable.
However, it is only a matter of time before a problem arises. I can't rely on others to get there. Furthermore, there is still at least 20 minutes before I reach there. Furthermore, if I were to arrive and my identity is exposed by those familiar fellows …
Back then, I got the intelligence from that Dark Elf spy that even if Lord Yongye is sealed, the Dragon Empress wouldn't dare to open it. The Underground World also views him as a super threatening existence that needs to be sealed forever. If Lord Yongye really appears … Perhaps, the war between the Surface and the Underground World can really be stopped. We can just form an allied army to suppress Lord Yongye.
"Ah Dang, activate your flight mode and let me in."
Ah Dang nods his head. With a stomp of his feet, he enters the black fog. A few seconds later, the black fog, which is glowing with a mysterious light, dissipates. That lively little Gnome is nowhere to be seen. In his place, there is only a beautiful Silver-armoured Wyvern. It is at least 20 meters tall. It doesn't have legs and its entire body is smooth. However, it has 6 gigantic metal wings.
Ah Dang's entire body is covered in metal armor that is as thick as a city wall. However, looking at it carefully, that sturdy armor is grown within the flesh. The triangular dragon head is filled with the smell of metal. Countless parts are embedded within its body and the gears on its four limbs are spinning at high speed. That is the perfect combination of machinery and flesh. The entire Wyvern is like a perfect work of art, completely unrelated to the Abomination Stitched Abomination.
"Ah Dang, Ah Dang, transform and set off!!!"
The moment Eliza and I walked into the control room of the Wyvern's body, a dragon roar with a child's voice resounds. The 6 wings spread open and crimson flames shoot out from within. Ah Dang shoots out flames like a rocket, using the recoil force to shoot himself out.
Although the control room is very stable, looking at the scenery that is rapidly retreating, a normal giant Dragon doesn't even have the right to eat dust.
An Abomination Increasing Giant that can transform? Is it weird? In reality, it isn't. This is the foundation and shackles of his existence.
Ah Dang represents the Original Sin 'Gluttony'. Gluttony, to put it bluntly, is an excessive appetite. Appetite is the most basic requirement of life.
Life needs to eat and digest nutrients. Its basic goal is to survive and become stronger so that it can emerge victorious in the cruel world of nature and obtain a chance to evolve.
Gluttony = Evolution + Survival.
When this equation is formed in my mind, the weakest Abomination Stitched Abomination in history is born. He is only 1.2 meters tall, unable to even lift a small rock. The only ability it has is to eat …
Abomination Stitched Abomination is a fusion of corpses, making it the most suitable to fuse the strengths of other living beings to evolve.
On the other hand, Ah Dang is able to fuse the strengths of its food into its own body. Very quickly, after going through a few battles, a mountain-sized Corpse Monster becomes the nightmare of all living beings. But soon, after eating once, he self-destructs.
I concluded the lesson of my failure. That is because no living being, no inanimate object, is able to evolve endlessly. Evolving beyond the limits of one's physical body, overly powerful strength, overly complicated physical structure, will only lead to deformity and destruction.
Now that the new equation of "excessive evolution = self-destruction" was established, the next step was to have the Masked Knight's evolution be limited by a goal and direction … Fine, I admit that I copied a certain Masked Knight who had many forms during this process.
The experiment wasn't smooth sailing. Dozens of experiments self-destructed and the only successful product is Ah Dang.
After which, I set a few goals for Ah Dang. Normal combat form, flying form, diving combat form, assault form and so on. Then, I let it evolve through devouring.
For example, no matter how much it absorbs genes that are beneficial for high-speed flight, it is only limited to the flying form. For example, I let the wings of a Wyvern and the wings of a Phoenix directly devour and fuse together. The genes of the winner will be used to construct its own wings while the genes of the loser will be used as backup and food … After countless times of devouring and fusing, it will naturally form the most perfect flying form.
Stealing the sharp claws from a Behemoth, stealing the wings from a giant Dragon and stealing the talent to use Holy Light from an Angel, Ah Dang is the true perfect lifeform and ultimate existence.
Alright, this design is indeed a success but I unquestionably went overboard … In theory, the ever-evolving Ah Dang can eventually grow to the level of God Slaying. Of course, in order to achieve this goal, he first has to devour a few SemiGods without being stuffed to death. However, I feel that before that, Mother Earth would first descend to the mortal world and slap me to death for creating such an unnatural monster that is capable of destroying the world.
Fortunately, perhaps due to his overly powerful strength and potential, the heavens are jealous of him. No matter how hard I try, I am unable to raise Ah Dang's intelligence. Magic and martial arts cannot be executed purely on instinct. His low intelligence has always restricted him from bringing out the advantages of his physical body. This is also the reason why even though he is the strongest among the Senators in terms of absolute strength, his ranking is still the last.
However, if I were to separate the physical body from the brain and install a pilot in the physical body as a second brain, the flaw of low intelligence would naturally disappear … Alright, I admit that I copied Ah Dang's design from the gigantic robot that always bullies small monsters … However, the origins of heroes don't matter. Regardless of whether it is a black cat or a white cat, as long as it is able to catch mice, it is a good cat, isn't it?
"Ah Dang, how many forms do you have now? How many of them are of A rank and above?"
"A total of 12 forms. The 9 Battle Forms are all of S rank and above. The Beast Form and City Siege Form are both SS rank." In this state, Ah Dang hands over the control of his physical body to me. It is as though he has shut down the processor of a huge project.
Hearing this, I can't help but click my tongue. Back then, Ah Dang only had a total of 7 forms. Out of the 4 Battle Forms, only 2 of them have reached S rank. Now that he has reached the SS rank that I set, that means …
"Under the premise that the operator is strong enough, he would be able to face a SemiGod head-on … Don't transform into the SS rank form in front of others. Today's target should be dealt with using the S rank form."
Greed and Gluttony are the type that start off extremely weak but their growth is limitless. However, Ah Dang's speed of evolution still surprises me. Initially, I thought that he would need at least a thousand years to reach such a level.
"Ah Dang, don't eat living beings in the future. Stop evolving for the time being. Focus on raising your fighting skills and controlling your magic. " Excessive evolution isn't a good thing for the world or himself. He should listen to my orders.
"Yes, Ah Dad, we have arrived."
Looking down, we have indeed arrived. Below us, it has already turned into a chaotic battlefield of gigantic beasts.
The 6th Senator 'Demonic Bone Beast' Crimspur, the 10th Senator 'Decaying Ant King' Lamost and the 11th Senator 'The Great Schemer' Penny.Hall. Other than the 11 Senators who are only the size of a normal human as a Lich, the other opponents are gigantic beasts that are 30-40 metres tall.
On the side of the defending army, the Ancient Red Dragon and Bone Dragon Queen aren't small in size either. At this moment, the Red Dragon is fighting with the Demonic Bone Beast and the Blue Crystal Bone Dragon that is causing a ruckus on the battlefield is fighting against the remaining 2 Senators alone.
When they roll around, a bunch of Goblin Mines would explode from the ground but they aren't even able to pierce through their skin. The Goblin Cannons don't stop firing but they are still ignored.
"Ah Dang, Ah Dang, it's time to eat meat!"
Following a roar, the Silver-armoured Flying Dragon disappears into the black fog and a gigantic gorilla-shaped beast appears on the spot. Its entire body is muscular and its arms are so strong that they are deformed. Yet, the glow of metal is glowing. He is the tallest and strongest of the gigantic beasts present.
"Ke Sai, here to pay a visit!" That gorilla stretches out his arms and makes a weird pose.
Seeing that the surrounding people are looking at him with a weird gaze, a synthesized voice comes from within Ah Dang's body.
"As expected, I shouldn't have used such an old joke that reveals my age. Since there is an awkward silence, then …"
That gorilla-gigantic beast crosses his arms, forming a 90-degree angle. Making a weird pose, he compares himself to Crimspur.
"Hehe, look at my Motion Light Wave … No, Ultra Light Ray!!"
Alright, the situation is still awkward …
"Boom!" But a ray of light really shoots out from his arms, causing Crimspur to tumble forward.
"Ha, do you think that I am faking it."
Then, facing the powerful enemies surrounding him, the gorilla-demonic beast suddenly pushes his hands against the ground and stands upside down …
"Un, so this button is the cannon. Right, where is the punch? Is it this? Don't bother me, Eliza. I am very good at fighting games. En en, is this a kick? Alright, now that I have mastered the basics, watch my Chinese martial arts sweep through the other world! "
