The remaining soldiers of the six races who had seen Lord Kuba's true face before, especially Lord Thousand Hands, Lord Red Lotus, Queen Medusa, and the Great Elder of the Turin race, gasped at the same time.
The two witches in Black Jack's camp must have heard or seen Lord Kuba's appearance before. They also exclaimed in shock, as if they had seen a ghost.
Theresa's heart skipped a beat. She snuck over and asked softly, "What's wrong? Does Lord Kuba look different?"
"Why … Why does he look like this?"
"According to the legends, Great Monarch Kuba should have a rough and ugly appearance, but he should be very mighty and majestic!"
"That's right. He should have a beard that looked like a halberd and was full of vigor like a lion," another witch said.
Another demoness added, "How could he be willing to shave off his lion-like beard? And after shaving it off, he actually became so feminine and delicate?"
A bolt of lightning flashed across Theresa's heart.
As expected, her guess was correct.
Lord Kuba had also turned into a girl through 'Slime' Eric's magic!
His purpose was to enter the Crimson Palace and inherit the Crimson Queen's legacy!
However, judging from his androgynous appearance and the flat curves on his body, his transformation was not as perfect as Theresa's. It should be said that he was still 'incomplete'.
Perhaps that was why he had left the book of ancient black magic with 'Slime' Eric so that Eric could continue studying it?
However, 'Slime' Eric's magic tower had been destroyed by Black Jack's adventurers. Lord Kuba must have had a way to receive the warning, so he could only bite the bullet and attack the Thousand Gate Mountain until he reached the Crimson Palace.
"Do you see it?"
Great Lord Kuba smiled bitterly and said, somewhat in despair, "This is the 'price' that I paid for the Crimson Queen's legacy and the 'enlightenment' that I received. What about you? What have you paid? What have you given up? What have you sacrificed?
"Speak. Who else is more qualified than me to inherit the Crimson Queen's legacy? Who else?"
Lord Kuba was suddenly enraged. He raised his hand, and his magic power condensed into a black demonic palm that slapped at Black Jack.
Black Jack could not fight back at all. His bones were broken, and he vomited blood and collapsed on the ground.
"Jack!"
The girls in the harem were shocked and pounced at Black Jack.
Dragon Lady Hera and Mercenary Captain Natasha both glared at Great Monarch Kuba.
"You're Black Jack, the famous bounty hunter on the Emerald Continent? I heard that you took something that belonged to me. "
Great Monarch Kuba narrowed his eyes. His voice was sinister and terrifying. He crooked his finger lightly, and Black Jack's armor and top were instantly torn apart.
The Ancient Primordial Black Devil's Black Jack's Black Jack's Devil's's heart, Black Jack.
"Today is the day of the Crimson Empress' rebirth. Stay there obediently, and don't force me to start a massacre."
Lord Kuba flipped through the Ancient Primordial Black Devil's Devil's Book and said calmly, "On my journey to unify the Bloody Battle Demon World and the Emerald Continent, you and your girls might be of some use. If you don't want to see your most beloved girls tortured to death and the entire Emerald Continent destroyed, you should cooperate with me obediently, right?"
Black Jack spat out another mouthful of black blood. When he looked down at his chest, he found that there was a burning palm print on his chest. It was like some kind of evil curse, raging in all directions.
"Don't worry. You won't die for now," Lord Kuba said.
Great Monarch Cuba said, "As long as you get your girls to obediently put down their weapons, I guarantee that you can still live comfortably."
Black Jack's expression changed. He started coughing violently.
"Jack!"
Natasha gritted her teeth. "Let's fight it out with Lord Kuba!"
"Don't — don't be rash."
Black Jack's face was pale. While spitting out blood, he said softly, "If we fight it out with him now, we'll just die. Wait a little longer. I don't believe that he can get the Crimson Queen's inheritance so easily. Natasha, get everyone to … put down their weapons!"
"This —" The mercenary captain could not believe her ears.
"Trust me. I have a way, but not now."
Black Jack smiled, and a strange light flashed in his eyes. He said, "I only need you to believe in me, believe in me wholeheartedly, and offer your strength, your soul, your life, your everything to me without reservation!"
Clang! Clang! Clang!
Everyone in the Black Jack Adventurer Team and the remaining soldiers of the six races all put down their weapons and were escorted to the side by the Prison Exterminator soldiers.
Everything was within Great Monarch Kuba's control. He had long expected such an outcome. He snorted in disdain, and with a shake of his hand, the ancient black magic book that Theresa had been dreaming of turned into a ball of flames.
Something weird happened. In the furious fire, not only did the Ancient Primordial Black Devil's Book not burn into nothingness, it melted like liquid metal and turned into a weird key!
"Eric truly deserves to be one of the best royal sorcerers on the Emerald Continent. In the end, he finally figured out the mysteries of the Ancient Primordial Black Devil's Book. It's a pity that his life was too short!"
Holding the key, Lord Kuba walked into the depths of the cave.
He raised the key high up in the air. Immediately, countless metal flowers on the surrounding walls bloomed. Clusters of colorful stamens surged toward him, entangling the key in his hand and gently piercing into his veins and nerves.
Lord Kuba seemed to have turned into a statue. He did not move at all.
The black flames burning around him, however, were surging even more violently.
Theresa knew that Lord Kuba was trying to pass the test of the Crimson Palace, or more precisely, the test of 'Emerald' in order to gain a higher level of control.
Theresa was burning with anxiety. She was not sure how far Lord Kuba could go. Since he had come prepared and had the 'key', could he directly control the entire 'Emerald'?
If that was the case, not only would the Emerald Continent welcome the end of the world, but for Theresa's hometown, the Pangu Universe, such a brutal, unruly, and unpredictable guy was not an ideal partner.
However, Theresa could not stop him.
The magic power she had awakened was too weak compared to Lord Kuba's. If she attacked recklessly, she would only be killed meaninglessly, and it would not cause any changes.
Now, the only variable was Black Jack.
Black Jack, you are such an evil guy. What do you want? What other trump cards do you have? Hurry up and use them!
In the mental world, the test of Emerald lasted for a long time.
But in reality, it was only a short moment.
Soon, Lord Kuba heaved a long sigh of relief and slowly opened his eyes. Countless magnificent stars appeared in his eyes.
The corners of his mouth curled up into a victorious smile, and his aura became even more profound and powerful.
Rumbling sounds came from deep inside the cave. The liquid metal around changed again, becoming more and more like a magnificent and futuristic bridge.
The remaining soldiers of the six races looked at the cave that had changed beyond recognition in disbelief.
The Hell Exterminators cheered.
The wall in front of them that had been closed melted like a water curtain cave, opening a dark and deep passage.
"The passage to the core area of the bridge has been opened. Now, let's go and claim the treasures that belong to us!"
Lord Kuba turned around and said proudly.
What welcomed him was a bright golden tentacle.
Hiu!
The tentacle was so fast that it could not be described as' as fast as lightning '. Even Lord Kuba could not dodge or block it. With a' puchi ', his shoulder was pierced through by the tentacle.
"This is impossible!"
Great Monarch Kuba's expression changed drastically. He covered the bloody hole in his shoulder and took three steps back. With a solemn expression, he stared at the enemy who was rapidly expanding in front of him and shouted fiercely, "Black Jack, it's you! You're not human!
Under everyone's shocked gazes, Black Jack emitted an aura that was even more evil than Lord Kuba's. From his bulging armor, bright golden tentacles grew out and supported the ground and the walls around, turning him into a monster that was even uglier than a deformed spider.
"Jack …"
Theresa and everyone in the harem were shocked.
Natasha stammered, "How … How did you become like this? What happened to you exactly?"
"Shh …"
His veins protruded like golden stripes. On his twisted face, Black Jack's signature warm smile was still on his face. "Don't worry. Leave everything to me. All you need to do is continue to trust me wholeheartedly and dedicate everything to me."
Waving his tentacles, he crawled toward Lord Kuba unhurriedly.
"Thank you for opening the channel to the core area of the bridge for me. In order to jump through timelines, I've consumed too much strength. Without your help, I wouldn't have been able to deal with such a … somewhat advanced starship for a while."
Black Jack smiled at Lord Kuba.
"What are you exactly?"
Raising his giant sword high, Lord Kuba shouted, "You are not Black Jack. No. You are not a human being at all!"
"Human being, how can such an insignificant name define my existence?"
Blackjack waved his pale golden tentacles and smiled. "A long time later, those living beings who wailed endlessly in the Fire of Destruction would usually call my kind 'Devourer', but I suggest you call me … 'Lord Devourer'."
