The night is like a ferocious beast that devours the world.

The City of Sin was filled with screams and shouts.

Every now and then, cries and shouts for help could be heard.

These criminals, like ordinary people at the Canghai Pass, felt fear and dread.

Standing on the city wall surrounding the City of Sin, Li Chen looked out at the land plunging into darkness and murmured...

"The road to chasing dawn is never short of courage."

The road to freedom is destined to be full of thorns.

At this moment, three figures lightly stepped through the air and arrived at this place in an extremely strange manner.

The Distortion aura emanating from Zero intensified. He lowered his head slightly and whispered, "My Lord, three escaped, and one is seriously injured."

With a "bang".

A person encased in flesh and blood was pulled out of their body by Eerie Monsters.

It was Lust that had already fallen into a coma.

Li Chen glanced at him indifferently and said, "Wake him up."

Upon hearing Li Chen's command.

Zero's small hand grabbed the head of Lust.

A Distortion aura rushed in.

The dense black cracks on his face continued to multiply, and even a pair of demonic horns began to grow on his head.

"Zheng"

Suddenly, he opened his eyes in pain from Lust.

"Who are you..."

Zero slammed his head into the ground and rubbed it against the wall, coldly demanding, "Call My Lord."

Li Chen walked up to Lust, looked at him calmly, and said, "Let him go. Let me talk to him."

Zero muttered something under her breath, a hint of displeasure on her face, and then unleashed her Lust.

Lust difficulty, Lu Yu looked up at Li Chen, his pupils contracting as he grinned. "So you're the Child of Destiny."

"No wonder I failed here."

"So... so the God-Slaying Cult was your true identity all along! You deceived everyone!!"

I shouldn't have trusted you.

God-Slaying Cult?

Li Chen narrowed his eyes slightly; yet another new force.

Could it have happened during that year-long coma?

Moreover, judging from his appearance, he had reached an agreement with the God-Slaying Cult, and he considered himself a member of the God-Slaying Cult.

Li Chen glanced at Lust, his tone somewhat cold, "So what?"

His Lust turned angry with lust, then he suddenly froze.

Yes, so what if I break my promise?

He was already living alongside tigers; he was merely a victim of a tiger driven mad by hunger, driven by the tiger's lust for food.

He lost because of his own arrogance.

What he didn't know was that Li Chen didn't belong to any particular faction; it was just that his thoughts had connected everything.

Everything was just his imagination.

Lust closed its eyes.

He knew he was about to be eliminated completely, and his body was already collapsing.

Suddenly his eyes widened, staring directly into Li Chen's indifferent gaze. At that moment Lust used the power of emotion to test his heart.

At least before he died, he wanted to see what this Child of Destiny, pursued by all Evil Cults, was really thinking.

This was his only chance.

Zero frowned, wanting to stop him.

However, they still stopped.

The inner world of our My Lord...

Darkness, endless darkness.

A world as calm as still water.

Only a pristine white chair sits on that dark surface, erected before Lust.

He entered Li Chen's inner world.

Here, he could sense Li Chen's emotions and easily touch upon them.

It was also his only hope.

As long as he can control Li Chen, he will rise to power and escape.

Lust stood in the void, a hint of fear in its eyes, and murmured, "Why is it so silent?"

This is completely unlike the human inner world.

Every human being has emotions.

But why... does this person show absolutely no emotion?

It's like a human being who is already dead.

At that moment, a familiar figure appeared on the pristine white stool.

Li Chen smiled and asked, "Have you seen enough?"

Lust expression showed a hint of fear. Why was this happening? She had entered his heart.

Why did he come here?

Li Chen's eyes were crystal clear. With a slight movement of his finger, a chair appeared in the air. He smiled and said, "You're quite good. How about joining me?"

Lust had now fallen into a state of stagnation.

He was stunned... He was completely stunned...

What kind of monster is this...?

Li Chen's eyes gradually turned cold. With a flick of his finger, a large hole was pierced through the Lust body.

Ah!

The pain of having one's soul torn apart.

Lust eyes widened, he clutched his chest, knelt on the ground panting heavily, and looked at Li Chen with some horror.

Why did he feel his power dissipating?

At this moment, the ability to control emotions also seemed to vanish.

What exactly do you want?!

"If you're going to kill me, then kill me quickly."

Li Chen sat in the chair, his fingers interlaced, looking at him coldly. After a few seconds of silence, he said, "Fine... I don't need to ask for your opinion."

"A puppet it is then."

"Humans without consciousness are easier to control."

With a "buzzing" sound.

Lust made the world spin before my eyes.

The whole world began to shake, and he seemed to see a pitch-black door, from which a tentacle dragged him into the abyss.

The real world.

Lust body suddenly began to twist violently.

The horns on its head grew longer and longer, and its face changed rapidly, with the dark cracks beginning to merge into black lines.

Li Chen spoke up, "Let him go."

One of the Eerie Monsters released its grip, and its Lust intensified at that moment, transforming it into an Eerie Monsters with the ability to control its emotions.

A hoarse voice came from the mouth of Lust.

"My Lord."

Li Chen nodded slightly. Very good.

After his original consciousness was completely erased, the new consciousness that was born only obeyed him.

Li Chen needs his power to control his emotions.

That was his purpose.

He doesn't need those mindless Eerie Monsters; he needs Eerie Monsters with consciousness.

Therefore, the only option is to target humans.

However, it is naturally difficult for humans to transform into Eerie Monsters, since Forbidden Substances are beyond their capacity to withstand.

It was precisely because of this that Li Chen came up with an excellent solution: Mutation.

During the initial battle with Shi Nie.

He can gain power through Mutation, but he returns to normal after the fight, which is the effect he wants.

As long as humans Mutations, they are thinking about Eerie Monsters evolution.

The body then begins to accumulate Forbidden Substances.

That way he can control it.

As for the power of emotions, it is to erase the emotions and will that humans possess.

Absolute obedience is required; if it were a mindless Eerie Monsters, he wouldn't need to do so.

But humans need it.

Human emotions can influence Mutation.

Therefore, he needs the capacity for Lust, and he himself is an experimental subject.

I just let him into my heart.

That is, to take away his abilities.

He had never forgotten the power of the King's Power.

At this moment, Lust also completely transformed into a conscious Eerie Monsters, silently standing beside Li Chen.

Li Chen looked toward the City of Sin, and a black chess piece appeared in his palm as he tossed it into the air.

From this moment on, the ideal of freedom will spread throughout the world.
