The True Leviathan

When Ophis said this, his eyes were filled with resentment.

"Sorry, I'll be more careful next time. I'll have someone restore this place to its original state immediately..."

At this point, Ren paused, looking at Ophis's face and tentatively asking.

"Ophis, since this room is destroyed, do you want to come back with me? My house is big, there are lots of people, and plenty of game consoles and snacks. You'll have someone to play with 24/7, and you can even go to sleep when you're tired."

Although Ophis, is feared by the gods, Ren, who knows this part of the story, knows that Ophis is actually very easy to get along with.

Although she has been in this world for thousands of years, there has never been a case showing that Ophis has taken anyone's life.

In fact, Ren could imagine how Ophis's infamy had spread.

Because of his immense and uncontrollable power, the gods feared Ophis and thus fabricated numerous stories that contradicted the facts, portraying Ophis as a cruel and ferocious monster.

The result was indeed that Ophis became feared by the world.

Furthermore, Ophis herself does not communicate with people, so those who are not familiar with her will naturally think that Ophis is cold and heartless.

As for where the rumors originated, Ren always felt that they must have been created by the vanished God of the Bible.

After all, if we're talking about who could be the first to discover that Ophis left the dimensional rift and came to the human world, there's no one else but the God of the Bible.

However, Ren has the advantage of knowing the plot in advance.

What others dare not do, Ren dares to do.

If Ren can get along well with Ophis, become friends or even a dragon knight, he can roam freely in this world.

Ophis fell into a long silence, but finally shook his head and gave Ren a rather unexpected answer.

"They still need me here."

Ren didn't quite understand what Ophis meant by "need," but he also knew that continuing to persuade him would be pointless.

Ophis is naive but also surprisingly stubborn.

So Ren nodded. "I'll have someone restore this place later. As for the games and snacks, you can use them for now."

Ren divided up half of his collection from the storage space.

The odds and ends piled up into a small mountain.

Ren himself didn't remember when he put some of these things in, but since the things he put in wouldn't spoil, he just took them out as a way to clear out inventory.

When Ophis saw so many new and interesting things appearing in front of him, he couldn't help but widen his eyes slightly and reach out to touch them.

Just as Ren was searching his storage space for any entertainment items he didn't need, Ophis pulled out a bunch of CDs and poked Ren's thigh. "What are these?"

"Oh, these are all my treasured movies and animations. You can watch them to pass the time when you don't feel like playing games. I'll teach you how to use them."

Next, Ren reluctantly Church Ophis how to change discs and videotapes, how to insert memory to find movie playback, and even watched a classic horror movie, The Ring, with her.

However, after watching it, the scenes that were once terrifying now seem quite funny to him.

Ophis watched the whole thing expressionlessly, but Ren thought she was quite happy.

After the movie, Ren placed Ophis, whom he was holding, on the seat, put on his sunglasses, and instantly transformed from a sunny and cheerful young man into a cool, sunglasses-wearing man.

"It's getting late, I should be leaving."

"Um."

Ophis nodded, offering no words of farewell, and simply watched Ren teleport away.

But even ten minutes later, she was still silently watching the spot where he had left.

A few hours after Ren left.

Deep in the forest where the Shalba died.

The severed head and body lay silently on the cold grass.

The blood beneath her had long since dried, turning from its initial bright red to a dark red.

Normally, these carcasses are either carried away and eaten by wild animals in the forest, or they decompose naturally over time, becoming nutrients for the forest.

However, even in death, Shalba's bloodline still held lingering power.

However, it won't last long.

However, just when the matter should have ended, an ominous black mist appeared out of nowhere from the atmosphere, landed beside Shalba's corpse, and eventually outlined the silhouette of a human figure wearing a black robe and holding a scythe.

If any Scandinavians were present, they would surely point at the figure in black robes and exclaim, "Grim Reaper!"

The Grim Reaper swung his scythe and made a backward hooking motion toward Shalba's corpse. A phantom outline slowly emerged from the cold body, and when it was fully revealed, it was none other than Shalba Beelzebub, whom Ren had killed earlier!

Shalba slowly opened his eyes, a blank expression on his face, until he saw Grim Reaper before him.

A sinister voice came from beneath Grim Reaper's robes. "You look quite pathetic, Shalba - Beelzebub."

Memories flooded back as Shalba recalled events from his life.

Ren's face flashed into her mind instantly, making Shalba's illusory face twist with anger mixed with a hint of fear.

"Damn human! I'll tear him to pieces! And even after he dies, I'll let flies gnaw on his corpse!"

"If you want revenge, come with me, Shalba - Beelzebub. The Lord of the God of the Underworld wants to see you."

Chapter 157 The Legitimate Leviathan

Chapter 157

"You ignorant fool, do you think you can command the great Beelzebub?!"

"Just a Grim Reaper who happened to be passing by."

The Grim Reaper, wielding his scythe, smiled slightly.

"The God of the Underworld? You're one of Hades's men? Oh, I see. Hades has been coveting the power of the Bible for a long time!"

Shalba naturally had no desire to meet Hades, the God of the Underworld.

What he should do now is to rest and recuperate as much as possible, and then... seize or create a new body, and then find a way to tear that human to pieces.

"That's not up to you."

A scornful, mocking laugh emanated from beneath Grim Reaper's hood.

"A mere Grim Reaper dares to stand before Beelzebub!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Shalba was shocked to find his soul shrouded in a thick black mist, and no matter how hard he struggled, it was to no avail.

"If it were you in your previous life, I might not be able to do anything to you, but now you're just a ghost that I've awakened. If you don't want your soul to be scattered, then come with me obediently. God of the Underworld has a way to bring you back to life."

"..."

Seeing that the other party had easily controlled him, Shalba fell silent for a moment.

Indeed.

He had been killed by that human, but most lives in this world, after death, have their souls linger in the same place for a period of time before heading to different Netherworld to be reincarnated.

Some stronger souls, however, will fall into a deep sleep as souls, without needing to be reincarnated.

However, no matter what, as long as it is a dead soul, no matter how powerful it was in life, unless it possesses some special ability, it is impossible for it to be compared with the Grim Reaper.

Moreover, Shalba clearly sensed that the Grim Reaper before him was a supreme being even in the entire Netherworld, and could easily control him now.

Let's go.

Seeing Shalba remain silent, Grim Reaper uttered a single sentence indifferently, then transformed into a cloud of black mist, enveloping Shalba's soul as it fled into the distance.

The Old Maou Faction.

Katerea's abode in the Underworld.

Upon seeing Ren return and noticing the faint smell of blood emanating from him, Katerea asked him a question.

What did you go to do?

"Of course, we should look for the Shalba."

"You smell of blood. How is he now?"

That being said, Katerea had already guessed the outcome.

"He's dead. If he doesn't have a second life, then he's probably dead."

Upon hearing this, Katerea's expression was complicated, but she also breathed a sigh of relief.

Another former colleague has died.

Now, only himself and the White Dragon Emperor Vali remain as descendants of the first Demon King.

However, the White Dragon Emperor's personality was too free-spirited; he was too lazy to even govern a country, let alone conquer the world.

Unlike myself, who has a large following and is preparing for the founding of the nation.

After her reflections, Katerea didn't ask Ren how he found Shalba.

Everyone has their own secrets, just like the power rankings written on the small blackboard that Ren brought out earlier.

Those things were clearly not information that ordinary people could gather.

However, she didn't press the issue further.

Everyone has their own secrets, and they are meaningless if not shared openly.

"Without the Shalba, no one should disturb your founding ceremony. I can't help you with the rest. I've said everything I needed to say. You just need to fulfill your duties as Queen... I'll be going now."

After saying that, Ren was about to open the system map.

It's easy to imagine that what follows will be a very troublesome process.

Ren has never ruled a country, but he's already struggling to manage the girls in his own household. If he wanted to govern a country, wouldn't he be exhausted?

"Wait, there's something else I need to tell you."

"What's up?"

"I've obtained the Evil Pieces System from Serafall, so I'd like to ask you, would you be willing to be my queen?"

Katerea asked, her heart pounding with trepidation and a hint of anticipation.

She used to scoff at the Evil Pieces System, but now she's learning it frame by frame.

The Evil Pieces created by Ajuka - Beelzebub are groundbreaking creations.

This effectively compensated for the insufficient number of demons.

Of course, the reason why Katerea initially disliked this function was still due to the "bloodline theory." No matter how outstanding a human's talent was, it could not compare with that of the ancient noble families. Therefore, she could not accept the Evil Pieces at all at that time.

However, as time went on, Katerea also came to understand just how versatile the Evil Pieces Piece truly was.

"?"

No.

Ah Zhen, are you serious?

Ren shook his head and shrugged, saying, "I have no intention of living under someone else's roof, and besides, I'm used to being free and easy."

"I'm not living under someone else's roof. If you're willing, I wouldn't mind giving you half of my kingdom, after all, you are my queen."

"Katerea said."

After spending this time together, her mindset has undergone a complete transformation.

Moreover, I owe my current success entirely to Ren's advice and assistance.

Therefore, compared to the initial relationship, which was merely for physical pleasure, Ren now holds a considerable weight in Katerea's heart.

Upon hearing this, Ren knew exactly what kind of thinking Katerea had gone through, that she could casually suggest dividing the country in half.

This just doesn't make sense when it comes to Katerea.

Of course, it's not magic either.

Ren never expected that the idiom "familiarity breeds fondness" would actually apply to him.

Do you think I would agree?
