In fact, what the King of Negativity wanted was exactly what Black Dragon feared, which was why his reaction had been so intense.
Black Dragon had no desire to become the King of Negativity's puppet. That was disgusting. He did not want to lose his precious sense of self, and besides, the King of Negativity was no match for the King of Abilities. Following him would mean certain death.
Seeing that neither side would back down, Iron Great Tree said, "King of Negativity, underhanded tricks cannot truly win Compound V Big Tree's loyalty. If you want Compound V Big Tree to follow you wholeheartedly, you need to show us your courage and strength."
"King of Negativity, if you can defeat the King of Abilities, who wouldn't follow you?"
Black Dragon spoke his mind. Most Compound V Big Trees only followed the victor.
"Fine, an external object it is."
The King of Negativity nodded helplessly. He had not been persuaded; he simply had no choice. Iron Great Tree and Poseidon both opposed him. Even if he insisted, he could not get his way, so he could only take a step back.
"Black Dragon, wrap this around your forehead."
After thinking for a moment, the King of Negativity took out a headband and handed it to Black Dragon. "Once you put on this headband, you won't be able to take it off without my permission.
"Furthermore, this headband locks onto your brain. Once I activate it, your brain will explode. I know you have Healing Ability, but this headband will keep tracking you. Once your brain regenerates, it will explode again."
"Why does this headband sound so familiar?"
Black Dragon grumbled, taking the headband without hesitation. As long as it did not affect his consciousness, a headband like this did not matter.
