The Man-Eating Mountain Hag before me clearly worshipped the "evil god" she spoke of.
This perhaps had much to do with her own experience of death and how she had gained her powers.
Seeing how eagerly she anticipated it, I immediately said:
"Fine, I'll mark you with the evil god's seal right now."
As I spoke, I activated the Tong Ghost Hand and controlled it to grab her shoulder.
The Tong Ghost Hand's claws were exceptionally sharp. With one downward swipe, they tore three bloody gashes.
Dark yellow blood immediately flowed from the surface of her body.
The Man-Eating Mountain Hag also let out a low groan, speaking some Japanese that sounded like "itai," which I couldn't understand.
After cutting her shoulder, I immediately withdrew the Tong Ghost Hand.
"Alright. You are now a servant acknowledged by the evil master. The evil god will bless you!"
The mountain hag touched the shoulder wounded by the Tong Ghost Hand. Not only did she harbor no resentment, she was instead extremely delighted.
I also signaled Zhang Yuchen to remove the Coin Sword.
The Man-Eating Mountain Hag immediately got up and knelt on the ground, repeatedly saying:
"Arigato, arigato! Thank you, Lord Evil God! Thank you, Lord Envoy! I will surely give everything I have for Lord Evil God!"
Her over two-meter-tall body was kneeling on the ground, constantly kowtowing in thanks.

Her ability to see others' memories had unexpectedly made her believe that, like her, I was an envoy of the so-called "evil god."
That was how all of this had come about.
But this was good
