The two turned around and walked towards the other side of the Golden Bridge.

Chapter 325: The Coronation Ceremony - Part 2 (3142 words)

Led by Missy and Dantalian, the distinguished guests crossed the central line of the golden bridge and saw even more monster girls.

The dashing Griffin, clad in specially crafted full-body armor, soared through the sky, scattering beautiful petals. Her blend of bravery and grace both amazed and worried the distinguished guests. Many among them could fly and knew the importance of aerial superiority. And now, Zhuang Sen actually possessed an aerial force with at least a level three bloodline?

Before their surprise could subside, they saw the centaur women lining both sides of the road. Clad in full armor and wielding long spears, the neatly arrayed centaur women exuded an even more imposing aura. They raised their spears high, crossing them in mid-air to form sharp, imposing arches. The cold glint of their runic spears, seemingly softened by the sunlight, was all the more chilling. Compared to the indistinct griffins in the sky, these centaurs right before them conveyed a far more palpable sense of disciplined menace. Moreover, the centaur women outnumbered the griffins, and the power of their heavy cavalry far surpassed the aerial advantage that required even a bit of advanced vision to grasp!

Moreover, they've now come to their senses and discovered a crucial point they'd overlooked due to their previous shock—these are all Level 3 bloodline users!

In any country, even a religiously strong holy nation, these would be the absolute elite. Why would a count or bishop do such mundane welcoming duties? Furthermore, where did Zhuang Sen acquire so many level-three bloodline individuals before this? And this number seems to suggest they all share the same bloodline, and they all appear remarkably young!

The guests from various countries, realizing this, were somewhat disoriented. Even kings of smaller nations like the Winter King, who were aware of the plan, began to worry about its feasibility. Just how powerful was Zhuang Sen to be able to control so many bloodline holders and make them willingly do such "lowly" things…? As for the Mountain King and the Thousand Tower King, they had begun to believe the words of the chosen ones: Zhuang Sen must be an ancient, evil being, and these were all his minions!

There's no reason for it! How could a seventeen-year-old boy possess personal combat strength surpassing even the veteran powerhouse Esther, and cultivate so many loyal and incredibly powerful subordinates?! Is this reasonable? Is this fair? This is simply unacceptable, absolutely unacceptable!!!

Zhuang Sen must die!!!

Even Baro was shocked. He knew Zhuang Sen had secrets; he even knew that Celine had awakened her bloodline, and that the women around Zhuang Sen all possessed bloodlines, and at a high level—but what did it mean that bloodline users could form an army? Could this kid really be some ancient being from a bygone era…?

Missy and Dantalian, while feeling proud of Zhuang Sen as they watched the stunned guests, didn't forget to keep a close eye on the suspicious individuals whose reactions were becoming increasingly obvious, suggesting they might be chosen by the gods. Hmm, it's clear now that they don't harbor any goodwill towards the monster girls. Although they tried their best to hide it, the sheer number of monster girls had probably broken their guard. It was obvious that their shock masked a deep-seated hostility, as if they were facing a mortal enemy; their hands, hidden within the loose sleeves of their white robes, were clenched tightly.

Given the beauty and temperament of monster girls, especially since the ones appearing now are nature-friendly and heroic like Griffin and Centaur, normal people wouldn't feel any aversion. These people are definitely suspicious! I've decided, when we make our move later, I'll try not to kill these few. Although we now have Lydia, the [Death Lord], Mira, the [Daywalker], and even [Corpse Demon], [Ghost], and other monster girls with the ability to imprison and torture souls, living beings are still more useful.

Everyone gathered before the main gate of the Holy King's Palace. As they approached, the intricately carved bronze doors slowly swung open, like a colossal beast opening its arms to reveal a magnificent, ornately decorated hall behind them. The moment Misty and Dantalian stepped through the gates hand in hand, the two massive doors swung wide open, their heavy panels slamming against the walls with a dull thud. The doors were carved with countless abstract reliefs of demon girls, some poised for flight, others dwelling by the water, their lines fluid and mysterious, as if telling tales of ancient traditions.

Just then, a large swarm of bats hanging upside down from the crystal chandelier suddenly took flight with a whoosh, their dark wings leaving afterimages in the light, instantly attracting the attention of all the guests. These envoys, nobles, and church representatives from various countries involuntarily looked up, their gazes following the trajectory of the bats, passing through the crystal chandelier above the hall—the magic crystals embedded in the chandelier refracted seven-colored light, illuminating the entire hall as if in a dream.

Following the bats' flight path, the guests' gazes gradually turned towards the depths of the hall: the first thing that caught their eye was a long table piled high with golden-brown roasted monster meat, cream cakes adorned with berries, and brightly colored fruit platters—the sumptuous food almost overflowing the plates. Next to the long table stood several rows of wooden barrels, filled with brightly colored liquors, their rich aroma almost wafting out with the sight of them, clearly indicating they were filled with top-quality wines. Behind the long table, near the high platform deep within the hall, was a shimmering area that initially seemed like a swimming pool, but upon closer inspection, it turned out to be directly connected to the sea—octopus girls, Krakens, and other aquatic monster girls were soaking in the azure water, their gorgeous fishtail dresses enveloping their exquisite bodies, revealing only their delicate faces and shimmering skin. Several nimble tentacles and tentacles protruded from the water, deftly selecting the food and drinks offered by the maids, their movements elegant yet languid.

The swarm of bats continued flying forward, and the guests' gazes followed, finally settling on the high platform at the far end of the hall. The steps leading to the platform were already occupied by countless monster girls: a slime girl in a fluffy pink dress, a dog girl wagging her bushy tail, a cow girl with full breasts, a watermelon girl with a vibrant green vine, a wasp girl flapping her transparent wings, a centaur girl in human form, a griffin girl in griffin form, a Rafflesia girl exuding a rich fragrance… Like the aquatic monster girls, they wore magnificent, elegant, and graceful gowns, filling every step of the path to the platform. They gazed affectionately at Zhuang Sen, who sat atop the platform on his throne, their eyes filled with unspoken love that permeated the air.

Finally, the swarm of bats reached their destination. They circled once in mid-air, transforming into wisps of black smoke that coalesced into fair-skinned, elegant vampire girls. Dressed in elaborate Lolita-style gowns, their lace trim swaying gently with their movements, they obediently settled among the seemingly full horde of monster girls, affectionately nuzzling towards Zhuang Sen—some kissing his cheeks, others lightly kissing the backs of his hands, and the bolder ones even nestling against his legs, their actions making no attempt to conceal their love, respect, and intimacy towards him.

Only now did the guests, whose eyes had been fixed on the bat, finally snap out of their daze. Looking at the breathtaking sight of beauties surrounding Zhuang Sen, they were momentarily at a loss for words. No one had ever made such an extravagant gesture at a coronation ceremony—even the most lecherous man would at least maintain a semblance of decorum; this wasn't something that needed to be publicly proclaimed to the world!

But when their gazes swept over the array of alluring and uniquely shaped demon girls surrounding Zhuang Sen, everyone had to admit that this lineup was less a display of "lust" and more a testament to "power"! In this world where bloodline is power, the true form of bloodline represents the pinnacle of power. The fact that so many bloodline users genuinely supported and devoted themselves to him was proof of Zhuang Sen's strength. This power was enough to make anyone envious; whether in terms of authority, strength, or charisma, it was an unparalleled glory.

"Welcome to my palace, everyone. Please have a seat."

Zhuang Sen spread his arms on the throne and embraced the monster girls who were crowding around him. Angela and Mira were lucky enough to squeeze into his arms, and they showed happy smiles. This made Gao Shan Wang and the others feel unbalanced. They could only rely on the big plan to stabilize their expressions and maintain a calm appearance.

Baro knew it was his turn to perform. Without needing anyone to urge him, he stepped forward and sincerely congratulated Zhuang Sen: "Congratulations, Zhuang Sen..."

"Ask him about the origins of these demons...bloodline beings."

A quiet voice drifted into Baroo's ears. Though his expression remained unchanged, a stronger resentment rose within him. He wasn't sure if Zhuang Sen harbored any ill will towards him. But he knew very well that these self-proclaimed servants of God, no matter how polite and humble they appeared, were actually quite arrogant, even showing a degree of contempt and disdain towards them, the kings. Therefore, despite their compelling evidence and the promise of the benefits of sharing the method of sealing the bloodline, Baroo remained unmoved—he wouldn't live for many more years anyway, and it didn't matter whether the Fallen Star Kingdom belonged to his eldest daughter or his youngest.

However, on the surface, he still had to proceed according to the plan, the plan he had made with Zhuang Sen. So he immediately changed his tune, saying, "Congratulations, Zhuang Sen, but won't you introduce me to these ladies who possess noble blood?"

Zhuang Sen laughed heartily, “Of course, no problem, Your Majesty~ They are not ordinary bloodline beings, but rather more outstanding beings. According to the ancient records I obtained, they were once descendants of gods, beings with the same form and bloodline as the gods. However, now, you can also treat them all as my daughters.”

Baro opened his mouth, but found himself completely unable to respond to Zhuang Sen's words. What did he mean by saying these female bloodlines were divine offspring, and what did he mean by treating them all as his daughters? Did he think he was treating his daughters like that? And Celine was there too! Celine was clearly my daughter! She was two years older than you!

But Barroo's shock was not on Johnson's mind. Johnson, who had already received the message from Dantalian and Misty, was keeping an eye on the suspicious people.

What will you do next?

Chapter 326: Bloodline Sealed (4050 words)

Zhuang Sen made no attempt to conceal his observation of the guests below. Aside from Baroo, whose expression was genuinely surprised, the others all wore different expressions. Beneath the surface of surprise, the Mountain King's gaze was clearly tinged with suspicion and greed; his eyes were focused on Celine and Serafina, seemingly noticing the difference between the [Red Dragon] and the [Red Dragon Maiden]. The Thousand Towers King, on the other hand, looked at Misty with resentment, his eyes filled with dejection and obsession. These people, along with their accompanying high-ranking officials, all seemed normal. Zhuang Sen's main focus was on the people from the Papal States, especially the Pope and those suspicious individuals—they were remarkably calm, showing neither surprise nor anger, appearing perfectly normal.

But this is the biggest anomaly. Even if they didn't believe Zhuang Sen's words, seeing so many "Level 3 Bloodline Users" wouldn't elicit such an attitude. Baroo and the others are the normal ones. Unless they used some means to suppress their emotions, such as abilities like [Mechanical Mind] or [Cold Will]. Further considering this, if they harbored goodwill towards the monster girls, such as viewing them as deities, there would be no need to control themselves in this way. Only if they felt that showing their true emotions would cause trouble would they need to suppress them. Just like a normal man wouldn't choose to abstain from sex before Niu Niu experienced pain.

It seems there's no need to keep it anymore.

Zhuang Sen narrowed his eyes, and the guests below felt a chill for a moment, but it vanished upon closer inspection. They swallowed hard; even members of small nations like the Winter King were starting to back down. Looking at the monster girls beside Zhuang Sen, they had absolutely no confidence in defeating him. Yes, those self-proclaimed servants of God possessed the ability to seal bloodlines, but they had only demonstrated the ability to seal a single person. Even if they exaggerated further, claiming to be able to seal all those with the same bloodline within a certain range, Zhuang Sen had dozens of them around him!

Besides, who knows if there are any level five bloodline users among them? It's impossible for them to all be level three bloodline users. They might fool those who don't understand, but these people are all high-ranking members of the kingdom; they have that much discernment. To be honest, many small countries are already prepared to kneel before Zhuang Sen after the coronation. As for why they don't kneel now… isn't it just a matter of chance?

The crisp sound of bells came from the heights of the palace, breaking the awkward atmosphere. Zhuang Sen released his wives from his arms, rose from the throne, and said in a gentle yet authoritative tone: "The time has come, gentlemen. Let us begin the coronation ceremony."

Regardless, completing the coronation ceremony and strengthening oneself is the top priority right now. If these people are weak, dealing with them later is fine; if they are strong, then improving oneself is even more important. Besides, who would have thought that a mere coronation ceremony could boost one's strength? If Zhuang Sen were one of these people, he would also wait until the coronation ceremony was complete, when he was at his most complacent and relaxed, to make his move. That would greatly increase the success rate and the sense of satisfaction.

Thus, the Mountain King, the Thousand Tower King, and others who had traveled from afar and hadn't even taken their seats yet could only remain standing, watching Zhuang Sen walk down the platform step by step. He said gently, "I'm sorry, the ceremony started from outside. I was just thinking of trying out the throne first, but I didn't expect it to go by so quickly." No one would believe such a lie! You're clearly just deliberately showing off! But no matter what the others thought to themselves, no one had the courage or the thought to speak at this moment, and could only helplessly follow.

In this helplessness, many people have begun to develop the rudiments of a "spiritual victory method," secretly despising Zhuang Sen, this pretentious nouveau riche—"I'll see what tricks your coronation ceremony has up its sleeve!"

Then, the moment they stepped out the door, they were once again overwhelmed with awe.

The bright, sunny sky suddenly darkened, a pure darkness, deeper than night itself, enveloping everything. All seemed to fall into eternal silence, as if returning to the warm embrace before birth. Even those with fifth-level bloodlines, like Gao Shan Wang and Baluo, were momentarily stunned. When they recovered, they broke out in a cold sweat. Gao Shan Wang even prepared to attack, believing it to be some kind of ambush, thinking his plan had been exposed.

But before he could act, Zhuang Sen had already raised his right hand, pointed to the sky, and proclaimed loudly, "Give to Heaven—with stars!"

As the vampires unleashed their combined [First Night], starlight twinkled, casting a calming and invigorating glow. One by one, monster girls emerged from the starlight: Griffin, vampires, happy girls, swan girls… and even Celine and Seraphine, the red dragon girl. Each displayed their most perfect bearing and immense power. The overwhelming pressure successfully halted the red dragon's fighting instincts, even forcing a smile of admiration from the Mountain King.

As the glittering starlight appeared, six pure white wings slowly emerged from Zhuang Sen's back. Warm and gentle holy light, like sunlight, illuminated the earth, banishing all darkness, like a pure white sun dispelling the night. In the transition from darkness to light, even though they knew this was a ritual meticulously designed by Zhuang Sen, their biological instincts still caused them to feel a surge of joy and a sense of identification with Zhuang Sen.

But this is not the end of the ceremony.

As the holy light shone across the earth, Zhuang Sen pointed to the ground once more and proclaimed loudly, "Give the earth—with flowers!"

In an instant, a vibrant sea of ​​flowers covered the ground, its rich yet harmonious fragrance, delicious yet not cloying. The flower sea, meticulously designed by Hana and the nature-type monster girl, captivated countless guests in that instant. Beautiful things are always beautiful, even if they may not last forever or eradicate filth; in the moment of their appearance, their power is undeniably strong enough to steal everyone's attention.

So much so that when night fell and the vampires returned, they realized the meaning behind Johnson's ritual and were shocked or disdainful of it.

"To bestow the heavens and earth as a figurehead, he really makes no attempt to hide his ambition."

"Arrogant fool, do you think that by using this showy ceremony you can really control the world?"

"So beautiful~"

Amidst whispers that seemed to mark the end of the ceremony's climax, Zhuang Sen proclaimed once more: "To the sea—with the tide!"

Boom, boom!

Suddenly, violent waves surged around the Sea King's Palace. Blue mermaids darted through the tides, while Kraken, octopus girls, sea hare girls, crab girls… aquatic monsters rampaged through the waters, creating a spectacle far more dramatic than the tsunami Esther had previously unleashed. Faced with this terrifying power of nature, even fifth-level bloodline users like Baroo and the Mountain King felt tense, but they had no intention of making a move. Zhuang Sen's previous two actions had already desensitized them.

After heaven and earth, it seemed perfectly normal to follow with the ocean; this should be the end, right? Deep down, they felt that the ceremony wasn't over yet—and they were right.

Zhuang Sen spread his six wings, radiating a soft yet bright holy light that even surpassed the morning sun, appearing from afar as if it were covering everyone. This included not only the distinguished guests at the Sea King's Palace, but also the local nobles of White City who had been waiting outside, and even ordinary people from far away in White City and the surrounding areas. As they gazed at the rising white sun, they seemed to be bathed in its gentle holy light, and a surge of power welled up within them—this was the power of the Ultimate Evolution: [Pure Angel]—[Pure Light].

When Zhuang Sen unleashes this ability, all who witness the light are marked. Those with goodwill and respect receive positive effects, such as healing injuries and purifying negative influences; those with malice and hostility suffer negative effects, such as blindness, dizziness, and body burning. Of course, the effects are very weak, but they are still quite effective for ordinary people, and it is originally just a support ability.

In this miraculous moment, Johnson once again proclaimed: "Give people—with love!"

A gentle yet firm, dignified and self-sufficient voice resounded, captivating all who gazed upon the pure white sun. Overwhelmed by this magnificent miracle and the unwavering will contained in those words, tears streamed down their faces, instantly transforming them into loyal subjects of the Holy King Zhuangsen. However, the guests from various countries who were observing up close did not exhibit such a dramatic change; their expressions were simply more complex. It was as if they had witnessed a stunningly beautiful woman walk past them only to fall into the arms of another man, or as if they had seen someone else create the treasure they had longed for, and through sheer skill and perfection!

Zhuang Sen paid no attention to them. The ceremony had reached its final stage, and he proclaimed once more, "Give me—the crown!!!"

A pure white crown, adorned with the three colors of azure sky, amber earth, and blue ocean, guarding the crimson blood, slowly condensed above Zhuang Sen's head. At this moment, heaven, earth, sea, and man all trembled simultaneously. Monster girls, ordinary citizens, and even the nobles of White City were all caught up in the jubilation of this unprecedented, magnificent, and straightforward coronation ceremony!

At this moment, regardless of the opinions of the Mountain King, the Thousand Towers King, the Winter King, or even the Chosen One, they all completely acknowledged in their hearts that he was definitely a king!

Zhuang Sen also heard the system notification:

[Host's title promoted: Prince - King]

[Territory map acquisition in progress... Acquisition complete, refining... Refining complete]

[Nest Feature Unlocked: Boundary Descends, World Remodeled]

It worked!

Zhuang Sen was thrilled. Before the system notifications could even finish, he immediately went to check out the new features. But in that instant of his delight, several voices suddenly rang out. The voices were icy cold, carrying a heavy sense of oppression, like robots driven to the brink of rage, forced to use electronic pronouncements. They said, "Evil spirits are cleansed!"

Then, nothing happened.

Zhuang Sen wasn't stupid. Knowing the enemy's plan, how could he not make any preparations? Although these people had cleverly integrated the magic array into the Sea King's Palace itself, even hiding it inside the walls, floors, and ceilings, with Nia's dwarves, Behemoth from Behemoth, and these earth-type monster girls around, Zhuang Sen could silently erase it, whether it was hidden inside the building or underground!

The chosen ones couldn't possibly have rehearsed beforehand, so they naturally couldn't have known that Zhuang Sen had already removed the magic array they had set up. Although they did have a mechanism to sound an alarm when the magic array was damaged, such a small mechanism was far too easy to bypass in front of Misty, Mira, and Zero. So, although they shouted loudly, it was really of no use.

This left the Mountain King and his companions, who had been charging forward as planned and had transformed into a red dragon, a cloud giant, an earth titan, and so on, in a rather awkward position. Looking at Zhuang Sen, who showed no signs of weakening, still radiating intense holy light, and whose aura had even surged with battle power, the Mountain King's dragon face became extremely ugly. But when he saw Dantalian, Misty, Lydia, Nia, Hana, and Lady Lia step forward, his face was no longer just ugly; it turned completely black, like the bottom of a pot.

What the hell are you doing?!

As the Mountain King roared inwardly, denouncing the ancestors of those who had instigated him for eighteen generations, Baroo's eyes darted around, and he slammed a punch into the Mountain King's back, roaring, "Mountain King! How dare you harm my son-in-law!!!"

Although Baroo was indeed an undercover agent and had indeed brutally beaten the Mountain King, his roar made the others not think he was a mole. They just thought he had switched sides at the last minute when things went wrong, which was not surprising at all—they wanted to switch sides too!

Thousand Towers King was the first to leap up. His cloud giant body, completely out of place in his aged human form, mimicked Baroo's, and he punched Winter King in his Snow Demon form. Unfortunately for Winter King, he was prepared. He raised a thick ice shield to meet Thousand Towers King's powerful punch, and with his right hand, he conjured an ice sword, aiming for Thousand Towers King's groin. Because of their Bloodline True Form, the height difference between Thousand Towers King and Winter King was now perfect for Winter King's attack. While the cloud giant wasn't as exaggeratedly tall as the Earth Titan (over a hundred meters), he was still over twenty meters, and the Snow Demon was five or six meters tall, making it easy for Winter King to strike.

The most interesting thing is that both of them shout the same line: "You inherently evil Winter/Thousand Tower people, how dare you plot against His Majesty the Holy King! I will personally—"

In an instant, the shield shattered and the person flew away; the egg broke and the person howled.

The next second, seemingly unable to tolerate the chaotic situation, or perhaps stimulated by the power Zhuang Sen displayed, the few chosen ones who had just shouted "Purify the evil spirits!" made a move again. They all spat out a mouthful of blood, their faces became extremely ferocious, and they glared at Zhuang Sen with bloodshot eyes. As the holy light engulfed them, they shouted, "Bloodline Seal!"

In an instant, a strange fluctuation occurred.

Chapter 327: Invaders from the Outside World

A strange fluctuation descended upon this place, formless, colorless, and odorless, yet everyone could sense that something undeniable and unavoidable had appeared here. Then, all bloodline power vanished.

Zhuang Sen's wings shattered, and his body, which had evolved to be harder and stronger than magic iron, vanished instantly, leaving only the ordinary strength of a seventeen-year-old boy. Therefore, gravity once again captured him, pulling him towards the ground, the surface reinforced by Nia and the others. At this height and with Zhuang Sen's current physical condition, he would most likely turn into a pile of Zhuang Sen-chan everywhere.

Dantalian, Nia, Hana, Lady Lia… Johnson's wives, the monster girls, rushed towards him immediately. Although they had lost their formidable strength, their innate physical structures had not disappeared. Griffin, Happy, and Daywalker still retained their ability to fly, and Lamia and Arachne's physiques had not weakened. But as soon as they took their first step, an unbearable pain descended upon them. The entire world seemed to be rejecting them, making it impossible for them to move even a millimeter. Some of the monster girls with lower endurance even let out painful howls and curled up on the ground.

But many more monster girls watched Zhuang Sen fall with grief, their beautiful faces twisted in agony. The psychological torment of watching helplessly as Zhuang Sen perished was excruciating. In this extremely dangerous moment, Zhuang Sen pulled a pink feather from his robes. This was the [Floating Feather] that Ange had obtained from the inheritance. Its effect was simple: as the name suggested, activation allowed the user to enter a levitation state.

Zhuang Sen released his grip, and the pink feather floated around him on its own. Zhuang Sen's falling speed immediately decreased significantly, and he slowly descended to the ground in a relaxed manner.

Seeing this, the monster girls all breathed a sigh of relief. Only Zero, Rurika, and Beshi, the three ancient monster girls, still looked grim. They remembered the pain that had befallen them in the ancient times. It was the pain that forced most monster girls to retreat into their small worlds, and only the supreme leaders of their respective races could resist it. It was... the Poison of the World!

No, that's not right. This is even more terrifying than the world's poison back then, because even in ancient times, the three of them with their current strength could resist it, let alone have their bloodline power sealed!

How did these people, these guys, manage to do that...?

pat.

Zhuang Sen landed safely on the ground and immediately stepped forward to shield his wives behind him. He then looked around at Baro, the Mountain King, the Thousand Towers King, and the Winter King, who had also been stripped of their bloodline powers. He calmly said, "It's truly an amazing power. Even I couldn't resist it. However, this move doesn't seem to be able to distinguish between friend and foe. If everyone becomes an ordinary person, it seems you still don't have a chance of winning."

Within the entire Sea King's Palace, Zhuang Sen alone had several hundred monster girls, along with two thousand female bloodline soldiers modified from the blood of monster girls. All the guests, even including the native nobles of White City, numbered only slightly over two hundred. With everyone reduced to ordinary humans, even without the monster girls' intervention, they had no chance of victory.

Faced with Zhuang Sen's question, the chosen ones did not answer, but silently pulled out something from their white robes that looked very strange to others, but very familiar to Zhuang Sen—a submachine gun. To be precise, it was a very futuristic submachine gun, with neon lighting effects on the body, and the magazine and body seemed to be cast as one piece, making it look like it came from some game where firearms were designed like magic wands. But regardless of whether the design of this thing was reasonable or not, judging from the way these chosen ones used it, they must have used it very skillfully and were very confident that they could use it to become the final winner.

"Alright, times have changed, haven't they?" Zhuang Sen shook his head helplessly, his gaze sweeping over the opened system panel before calmly looking at the chosen ones. "So, before you kill me, can you tell me why you want to kill me? I haven't offended you, have I?"

The only response was a deep hum. Eight Chosen Ones raised their identical submachine guns and aimed them at Zhuang Sen. Under the dazzling neon lights, crimson light emanated from the dark muzzles of the guns, a palpable sense of danger warning Zhuang Sen that these things posed a deadly threat to him. The monster girls under the guns also sensed it. Although they didn't recognize firearms, based on the Chosen Ones' movements, they easily nocked them and struggled to get in front of Zhuang Sen. The most nervous was Zero; as a [machine], she recognized firearms!

"Looks like there's nothing more I can get information out of them..."

Zhuang Sen turned to calm the monster girls, while the chosen ones pulled the trigger. Instead of copper bullets, fiery red beams of light shot from the muzzles, aiming precisely for Zhuang Sen's brain and heart with incredible accuracy. Several unfortunate guests positioned along the firing line were instantly vaporized by the beams, losing half their heads and chests. The beams, undiminished, continued their trajectory towards Zhuang Sen, striking him in the chest and back of the head amidst the complex and unspoken gazes of the guests and the furious, sorrowful stares of the monster girls.

Then it went out. Like a cigarette butt stubbed out on the wall... Oh, no, at least a cigarette butt leaves a black mark, but these laser submachine guns left nothing.

A strange fluctuation descended, identical to before—formless, colorless, and odorless—yet everyone could sense that something undeniable and unavoidable had appeared. And so, Zhuang Sen's demon girl bloodline power returned. Not only returned, but strengthened!

The environment felt incredibly familiar and nostalgic to Zero, Rurika, and Beshi; it also brought comfort and surprise to the other monster girls, dispelling and replacing that incredibly painful sense of rejection. Although the scenery and terrain remained unchanged, the feeling was completely different.

It's intoxicating.

This was not an accident, but rather a result of Zhuang Sen using the new abilities he gained after being promoted to king.

【Boundary Descent: Using the nest as an anchor point, the existing space is covered with the world of ancient monster girls for a period of time. The duration increases with the number of surrounding nest anchor points.】

Throughout the entire Sea King's Palace, Zhuang Sen had planted more than a dozen monster girl nests, each of which was an anchor point. Zhuang Sen had wondered before why he needed to hand over nest anchor points, but now he understood. It was because these nests were indeed anchor points, just like those chosen by the gods.

Faced with this change, the Chosen Ones showed panic for the first time. They were tense and frantic, like sycophants whose true colors had been exposed, pulling the trigger on Zhuang Sen. But no matter how many lasers they fired, they couldn't even remove a single hair from Zhuang Sen's head. With his bloodline power restored, this level of firepower was less painful than a kick from Ange. In desperation, the Chosen Ones even turned their attention to other monster girls, but their attacks were simply neutralized by various defensive abilities. The only ones injured were the guests whose power hadn't been restored by Zhuang Sen.

Unlike the indiscriminate influence of those favored by the gods, which are beyond their control, Zhuang Sen could freely control the influence of his domain on his targets. Therefore, apart from Baroo, he ignored all the other guests from various countries. Thus, amidst the hail of bullets, only the Mountain King, who managed to dodge quickly and only had one hand vaporized, and the aged Thousand Towers King, who simply opened his heart, fell to the ground along with the imaginative Winter King. The others were in even worse shape, with more than half of them dead or wounded in the blink of an eye.

The main problem is that the laser gun seems to be out of ammo.

Zhuang Sen was disappointed. He had thought it would be an unlimited supply of ammunition. The world of these chosen ones was really weak... But since there was no more show to watch, it was time to wrap things up. Zhuang Sen snapped his fingers, and eight beams of light locked onto the chosen ones. At the same time, a strange power from the monster girl world spread out, locking down all the chosen ones whose bodies were convulsing, seemingly using some kind of suicide method.

Oh, now we can't call them the chosen ones anymore, we should call them... invaders from outside the world.

Chapter 328: A War Between Two Worlds (4587 words)

In front of the Holy King's Palace, chaos reigned on the ground, with the unfortunate souls, not quite dead yet, groaning incessantly. Although the coronation ceremony wasn't finished, after the commotion and reversal, no one was in the mood to continue. Zhuang Sen himself didn't care, because he had already obtained the title and abilities; there was no need to dwell on the procedure. He was now more concerned with what these invaders, who harbored such strong malice towards him and the monster girls, were all about, and what their scale and power were—in short, he needed intelligence on the enemy.

Although Zhuang Sen had a rough idea based on the ancient history Zero had previously supplemented, his personal experience, and the effects of [Realm Descent], more accurate information was always better. Therefore, ignoring the fawning or fearful gazes of the others, Zhuang Sen, along with the monster girls and the eight firmly controlled prisoners, entered the dungeon of the Holy King's Palace. This left behind a group of guests who had finally regained their bloodline power, and the bloodline soldiers on high alert, staring at each other in bewilderment.

There is no need to worry about them anymore.

In the spacious underwater dungeon of the Holy King's Palace, Zhuang Sen was embraced by a group of "still shaken," "frightened," and "exhausted" demon women. Although he felt they were just looking for an excuse to take advantage of him, considering their genuine concern and anger earlier, Zhuang Sen let them be. It wouldn't affect his intelligence gathering anyway, and he didn't need to torture them now.

"Mira."
