"Hey, I'm telling you, do you even know that casually prying open someone else's things is rude?"
Morgana walked toward Lin Ye with her hands on her hips, her black demon wings casting a swath of shadow.
Cough, cough...
Yan flew down from the sky, burn marks from the flames visible on her body.
Morgana's Demon Claws seemed to carry the demons' burning effect as well.
"Thank you. If it weren't for you, I probably would've fallen here." Yan coughed as she flew back to Lin Ye's side, thanking him with a grave expression.
"Mm."
Lin Ye replied lightly, then looked toward Morgana and the many demons.
From his perspective, these demons were nothing more than walking Decomposition Value.
If he could decompose Morgana's divine body, his Decomposition Value might reach ten thousand.
Then he could upgrade the Concept Rewrite Engine.
With that thought, Lin Ye's gaze at Morgana grew much hotter.
"Human brat, watch your eyes."
Demon Atto let out a roar-like growl.
Anger surfaced on his gray face, which had previously shown no emotion at all.
With a wave of his right hand, red light flashed, and a dark crimson greatsword appeared in his grasp.
"Wait, Atto. This human isn't as simple as you think."
Morgana stopped Demon Atto with one hand, her demon pupil lined with eyeshadow fixed on Lin Ye.
Just now, she had used Demon One to analyze Lin Ye's physical data.
Yet she had discovered that she could not see through him at all.
She suspected that Lin Ye possessed a new-generation Fourth Generation Divine Body as well.
After all, he had been able to pry apart an unenhanced Demon Claw.
Lin Ye's divine body was presumably at least on par with hers—a Fourth Generation Divine Body.
"Queen, but I cannot tolerate his disrespect toward you!"
Demon Atto gripped the hilt with one hand, his icy gaze fixed on the sky.
However.
Morgana ignored Atto and looked at Lin Ye in the sky as well.
"Young man, what is your relationship with Kaisha?"
"Interested in joining us? I can give you the position of Demon Commander. What do you say?"
"A Demon Commander? That sounds pretty good."
Lin Ye smiled faintly at that and looked at Yan, whose face had gone somewhat pale.
"Lin Ye, y-you aren't really thinking of joining the demon faction, are you?"
Yan's expression shifted slightly. Looking into Lin Ye's deep, cold eyes, she felt a chill run through her.
There was no question about Lin Ye's strength.
The feat of tearing open a Demon Claw barehanded was already something she could not achieve.
Moreover, Lin Ye possessed countless technologies, all of which had been cracked from Merlot Heavenly Court.
If Lin Ye joined Morgana, wouldn't all of Merlot Heavenly Court's information fall into Morgana's hands?!
Then even the Heavenly Blade System would...
Hiss...
Realizing how important Lin Ye was, Yan felt as though a huge stone had been suspended over her heart.
At that moment.
Morgana began to fan the flames. "As long as you hand Yan over, anything Kaisha can give you, I can give you too."
"She gave Yan to you. I'll give you Xue Yi instead. How about it?"
Morgana's hoarse, faintly seductive voice rang out.
It made Demon Xue Yi, the ice demon among the demon faction, blush fiercely.
Though she belonged to a branch of the succubus race.
In truth, she was still a virgin when it came to reproduction.
"Q-Queen, wouldn't that be inappropriate?"
Xue Yi covered her burning cheeks and spoke softly like an innocent young maiden.
"Inappropriate? Isn't this exactly what you like?"
Morgana gave a surprised sound, turned to Lin Ye, and asked, "Well, human boy? Join me, Morgana, and become my knight!"
The demon warriors behind Morgana all stared at Lin Ye with green glints in their eyes, looking at him respectfully.
Even the Queen valued this human so highly. He truly had to be powerful!
Once he joined the demon faction, they would gain another Demon Commander!
The gazes of every creature present gathered on Lin Ye.
They waited for Lin Ye's final choice.
Lin Ye smiled ambiguously, turning toward Yan beside him as he prepared to tease the pure angel.
"Yan, what they said makes a lot of sense. Look at that demon Xue Yi—her figure is a whole size bigger than yours."
"You!"
Yan's beautiful eyes widened. She glanced at Xue Yi, her gaze turning slightly cold.
You haven't even seen them, so how can you make that judgment?!
Damn human pervert!
One day, I'll zap you with lightning!
Yan took a deep breath and said seriously, "Lin Ye, the demon faction has committed every kind of evil. They even slaughtered your human compatriots. Can you really join them against your conscience?"
In her eyes, Lin Ye was the sort with a sharp tongue but a soft heart.
"Conscience..."
Lin Ye nodded. "You have a point."
"Morgana, you slaughtered the humans of our Huaguo and committed every kind of evil."
"So if you want me to join your demon faction..."
Hope rose in Yan's eyes as she hoped Lin Ye would return from the wrong path.
But his next sentence left her completely dumbfounded.
"You'll have to pay more!"
P-Pay more?
Yan felt her mind go blank. Even her wings paused for a moment, and she nearly fell to the ground.
"Fine. I can tell you're a slippery little brat."
Morgana sneered, knowing that Lin Ye was stalling for time.
With a casual wave of her hand, she ordered the surrounding demons to swarm forward.
"Go. Drag this high-and-mighty human into our faction. Whether he submits or dies, he has to choose one path."
As soon as she finished speaking, the surrounding demons flapped their black demon wings and let out harsh cries.
The demons charged at Lin Ye like moths, forming a spherical encirclement around him!
"Queen Morgana, what do you mean by this?"
Lin Ye frowned slightly as he swept his gaze over the demons around him.
Couldn't she just offer a little more money?
They were negotiating, yet he had been judged before they had even begun.
He had not wanted to fight in the first place.
But Morgana insisted on testing him.
"Of course, I'm afraid you'll run. If an opponent with a Fourth Generation Divine Body wants to escape, it won't be easy for me to stop him."
"And you think I can't kill a Fourth Generation Divine Body? How naive."
Morgana rarely wasted words with Lin Ye. She swung the Demon Claws and began attacking him.
Since they could not reach an agreement, she would beat him into submission!
Buzz!
Two wormholes appeared in the void behind Morgana.
The newly upgraded Demon Claws emerged from the wormholes, trailing black flames behind them.
During their conversation, Morgana had used Demon One to upgrade the Demon Claws.
Now, they were capable of contending even with a Fourth Generation Divine Body!
"I'll hold back the Demon Claws. Lin Ye, hold on! Lingxi and the others will come once they notice!"
Seeing the Demon Claws wreathed in sinister black energy, Yan gritted her teeth and charged out with a flap of her white wings.
Her body transformed into a streak of lightning as she fought fiercely against the Demon Claws.
Yet when Lin Ye saw the Demon Claws, a smile appeared in his eyes.
It seemed Morgana had also realized that the Demon Claws were somewhat weak.
The more she upgraded them, the greater his gains would be when he cracked them.
As for her little tricks from earlier, fortunately, he had not stopped her.
Lin Ye focused his mind, and a layer of deep black lightning arcs coiled around his palm.
Crackle!
Just then.
"Human brat, I've wanted to split you apart for a long time!"
Demon Atto appeared at Lin Ye's side.
The fiery red greatsword in his hand ignited with scarlet flames.
He gathered his power and slashed!
Violent energy cleaved toward Lin Ye's head.
However.
Boom!
At that moment, a Z-shaped black streak flashed across the sky.
Swift lightning, like heavenly punishment, struck Atto in front of Lin Ye with tremendous force!
Crackle!
Violent lightning arcs swallowed Atto's entire body!
The strange black lightning was like the most conspicuous black sun on the battlefield.
The other demons charging in were jolted with fright, staring in terror at the sea of black lightning!
Holy shit!
Commander Atto was going to be electrocuted into a lump of charcoal!
