Chapter 90 - Not as Good as You Think (2/2)

After entering, they discovered that this place did not look like the place of an evil cult but like a huge laboratory…

At this time, many people were already lying in pools of blood in the laboratory. From the looks of their clothes, these dead people should have been the scientists of the laboratory.

At the end of the laboratory, there was a huge glass culture tank with thick tubes connected to it. In the culture tank, a giant monster was soaking in a green liquid. This monster was about two meters tall and looked human, but its body was covered with long fur, had fangs in its mouth, and a pair of long horns on its forehead.

A bald man was kneeling in front of the culture tank, and his hands were covered with blood.

When the operation team entered, the bald man turned around and smiled smugly at the Allied soldiers.

“Unfortunately, you’re too late! Lord César’s soul has already fused with this body!”

The operation team soldiers held their guns and looked at each other, not knowing what to do in this situation. The monster in the culture tank was obviously a terrifying demon, so they could only look at Roy, who was coming in from behind.

“Fused?” Roy walked in and looked at César in the culture tank with great interest, “This is the half-human half-demon body he created?”

“Yes!” The bald man was stunned when he saw Roy, and then he nodded. “You are the one who Lord César talked about, Lord Osiris, right? Since you and Lord César are both demons, why can’t you join forces? If the two of you work together, you can easily rule the entire world!”

Roy did not answer him but instead asked, “Are you César’s contractor? You summoned César to this world?”

“Yes, but the contract has been removed!” the bald man said. “With this demon-human body, Lord César no longer needs the contract to maintain his existence in this world.”

Roy walked toward the culture tank and stood in front of it. He carefully looked at César’s demon-human body and then knocked on the glass of the culture tank. “César, don’t pretend to be dead. I know you’ve completed the fusion!”

With Roy’s words, César suddenly opened his eyes and looked at Roy with a hateful gaze.

He had a ventilator in his mouth, so he could speak, and he said to Roy in a muffled voice, “What advantages did Rogeros give you that you’re working so hard to kill me?”

“Advantages? I don’t know, but if I don’t kill you, I’ll be in trouble!” Roy said. “As for you, what’s so great about this half-human half-demon body of yours that it’s worth your effort?”

“Hmph, you ignorant fellow. How could you know the value of a half-human half-demon body?” César said.

“Why don’t you tell me? I don’t mind listening to the story!” Roy said.

“All right. Since you’re already here, I’ll tell you!” César said. “Do you know that in the Abyss, half-human half-demons have always had the title of the Children of Taboo?”

“No!” Roy said honestly. “This is the first time I’ve heard of it!”

“There are many reasons why they’re called taboo!” César said. “The body of a demon will be repulsed by the power of a world, but a demon-human body can come and go between the human worlds and the Abyss without any hindrance. Moreover, a demon-human body possesses the power of a demon, but it has the possibility of surpassing the bloodline of the demon. For millions of years, the Abyss has produced many demon humans, and all of them have been incomparably powerful without exception! However, in history, the demon humans born have often gone to the opposite side of the demons due to the influence of their human nature, and, in turn, use their demon power to kill demons. Therefore, many times, although demons know that demon-human bodies are very convenient and powerful, unless absolutely essential, it is impossible to create one without the permission of high-level demons. And for the demon humans who have gone to the other side, they will be hunted down and killed. This is the origin of the so-called taboo!”

“That’s it?” Roy asked in confusion. “You’re an upper-middle-rank demon and about to become a high-rank demon. Can a high-rank demon not compare to this demon-human body?”

“It’s not like that! Don’t you understand the benefits of being able to remain in a world forever? All the souls will be yours, and you won’t need to compete with other demons!” César was excited. “In this world, there won’t be any higher-level demons to order you around, and you can dominate the entire world!”

Roy shook his head. “That’s not enough, because the premise is that you can obtain these souls! Let’s not talk about execution demons like me. Do you think those angels will tolerate the existence of a demon-human body with a demon soul that exists forever in a world?”

Roy did not say a word about how he could not underestimate the humans of this world. Perhaps they did not have magic power or powerful bodies, but they possessed the power of science. Even if artillery could not kill demons, then what about missiles? Nuclear bombs?

Did he really think that it was so simple to dominate and rule an entire world? In that case, why couldn’t those demon humans do it before?

“Also, since you’ve said that demon-human bodies are so powerful, why don’t I feel any traces of magic power on this body of yours?” Roy pointed at César’s body through the glass. “Or is it that your newly-born demon-human body also needs to devour souls to increase your magic power? Let me guess. You must have prepared a large number of souls here so that you can immediately replenish your magic power as soon as you complete the transformation. Am I right?”

Upon hearing this, César’s expression finally changed, and he shouted, “W-what do you want to do?”

Roy ignored him and asked loudly, “Fat Tiger, have you found it?”

“Aw!” “Woo!” “Woof!”

With Fat Tiger’s cheerful cries, Roy knew that he had guessed right…
