BXBX NOVEL Chapter 188 A Proposal
Because of his ascension rank spell, half of the city looked like a dark wasteland, and those who survived were still terrified shitless.
Now, whoever saw Cyrus walking behind pale Virulent quickly lowered their head and shrank back in trepidation and terror and didn\'t dare to gaze at him, afraid they might get killed at any moment.
Cyrus didn\'t pay them any mind as he had shown his might to achieve exactly this effect, or he knew the serpent race wouldn\'t submit until they saw their graves.
But he had to unsummoned the lust sword since it would be strange if he walked with his sword in his hand when they all had already submitted despite Eve\'s protest.
"Are you the strongest in your tribe? What\'s your world like? And you guys seem quite familiar with the dimensions?" Cyrus questioned Virulent, which made the latter literally shudder.
She quickly replied in a respectful tone, "N-no, but my father is. He is the patriarch of our clan, and I\'m one of his many daughters and proclaimed 5th Elder of our clan.
"As for our world, it has three massive continents, and we are one of the main ruling clans of one continent, the Lightless Continent. The dimensions are a common occurrence in our world, and every power fought to win ownership of high-rank dimensions like this one."
Cyrus nodded in understanding, "Impressive. What about the dimension temples? How many are there?"
Virulent showed a hint of confusion before she replied, "Dimension Temples? What are those, your majesty?"
Cyrus narrowed his eyes ever so slightly, but he didn\'t detect any falsehood in Virulent words. She was telling the truth then he briefly explained what a dimension temple was.
Virulent eyes shimmered with astonishment as she asked, "No, we absolutely don\'t have such dimensions. As far as I know, there aren\'t on the Lightless Continent, or all those clans will be at war with each other, including ours."
"Interesting." Cyrus chuckled before he suddenly thought of something and looked at Virulent and said, "In fact, I\'m also an owner of Dimension temple, and it is far more powerful and resourceful than anything you\'ve ever seen. What if I give your clan a spot in my dimension? Do you think your father would leave everything and migrate there with your clan?"
Virulent eyes widened more at this revelation, and realization dawned upon her as she finally understood why Cyrus was so powerful, \'It is all because of this dimension temple, and he\'s even the owner of that place!\'
Her heart suddenly raced when she felt the massive opportunity in this offer, and upon thinking about how terrifying Cyrus was, staying under his wing was once in a lifetime opportunity for her clan.
Furthermore, even if her clan won\'t agree, she is going to be his subordinate and leave with him whether she likes it or not.
However, after hearing about what a dimension temple was and witnessing Cyrus\'s prowess firsthand, she felt it was not such a bad thing at all.
"I-I don\'t know for sure. I\'m only an elder ranked 5th in our clan, so other elders might not listen to me. But I know my father, if your majesty can show him something worth moving, he won\'t hesitate to follow you, and the others won\'t have anything to say about it either." Virulent replied with uncertainty, but a tingle of anticipation was present in her voice.
Cyrus\'s lips curled up behind his mask, "Alright, I\'ll put a hold on my plan to destroy the dimension core. Send someone to summon your father here. I give you three days, and after that, for better or worse, you will never be able to go back to your world again and become my subject just like everyone else here."
Virulent felt her heart tremble at those imposing words, and she knew he wasn\'t joking, so she hurried towards the Lord Mansion as her subordinates and the gate outside were also located in it.
Cyrus liked this woman\'s decisiveness as he could see she had seen the bigger picture and wanted her clan to come under his wing. He offered her this proposal exactly because of her clan\'s prowess and the resources they had accumulated because of their status in their world.
If he can annex the entire Vile Horn Snake Clan and their wealth, he can turn the entire moonshine forest into a powerful pillar of his empire, and also, his dimension would have powerful fighters to protect it until the humans start to tap into their potential.
Virulent saw over half of the Lord Mansion was completely annihilated and felt chills to her spin again as she knew just how powerful the formation protecting this place was, yet even that couldn\'t withstand Cyrus\'s destructive might.
Nevertheless, she quickly entered the mansion in a hurry as she was searching for someone, even yelling out loud in panic, "Aveline! Are you alive?! Come here!"
In the silent vicinity, a panicked stricken voice of a child sounded, "Miss, you\'re alive!"
The next moment, something crawled out from the ground. It was a two-meter-long, deep blue snake with two small black horns over its forehead, and her snake eyes were filled with tears as she looked at Virulent in terror, completely ignoring Cyrus.
The snake then suddenly shines darkly before its shape suddenly starts to change, and the next moment, a small girl of 4\'1-foot height appears. But unlike Virulent, her skin was made with entirely purple scales.
However, the little girl instantly pounces into Virulent\'s arm and starts crying, "Sniff… Miss, I thought you died horribly without any corpse! B-but you survived. *sniff* did you defeat the villain?! Let\'s spit on his corpse together!"
Virulent\'s stiff expression instantly warped, and she forgot to breathe when she heard those boorish words. She almost forgot just how clueless and sharp-tongue this maid of hers, whom she liked the most, was and couldn\'t help but look at Cyrus with dread.
However, instead of anger, she saw amusement in Cyrus\'s two-color eyes as he looked at the little girl in Virulent\'s arms and said with a snicker, "How audacious!"
