"Yes, Master."
The Red-tailed Ghost Parrot responded respectfully, raising its right wing as if it were a person.
'Squeak~'
The wooden door was pushed open, and it raised its sharp claws, moving with utmost gentleness and care as it carefully stepped inside.
As soon as you enter, the Red-tailed Ghost Parrot kneels respectfully on the wooden floor.
" Master, new intelligence has arrived from Kamar-Taj."
'Snap~'
A thud was heard as the object landed.
Then, a series of 'tap tap tap' sounds of bare feet stepping on the floor approached it.
The Red-tailed Ghost Parrot's ethereal body trembled violently, and its head sank even deeper.
"Lift your head, Richard!"
The Red-tailed Ghost Parrot replied in a trembling voice, "Yes, Master!"
Its body trembled slightly as it slowly raised its head to look at Lenora.
"Master, Master..."
The moment the Red-tailed Ghost Parrot saw Lenora's beautiful face, its dark pupils instantly turned an eerie red.
You look absolutely gorgeous today!
A blush rose on Lenora's face as she gently stroked her delicate cheeks, a satisfied expression on her face.
Your taste remains as impeccable as ever.
She seemed to have only wanted to hear the Red-tailed Ghost Parrot's praise. After being satisfied, Lenora turned around and walked back with a 'tap tap tap' sound, swaying her ample hips.
After she had moved a distance away, the eerie red in the Red-tailed Ghost Parrot's eyes quickly faded.
Having regained its senses, it glanced in horror at Leno's alluring back, hurriedly lowered its head, and dared not raise it again.
Lenora walked to the Vanity and sat down.
She picked up her cosmetics, touched up her makeup, and said casually, "Report your intelligence, Richard."
"Yes, Master!"
The Red-tailed Ghost Parrot quickly responded and began its report.
" The Red Order, which you ordered us to keep a close watch on, seems to have an important event planned for next week."
"They are partnering with Stark Industries in the United States to prepare to send a space Exploration Team..."
" The Kamar-Taj in Nepal will also send someone to join them, and this person is very likely to be the Archmage Kaecilius."
"Space Exploration Team ..." Lenora paused in her makeup touch-up, a half-smile playing on her lips, and her pretty face reflected in the vanity mirror instantly appeared stiff and unnatural.
"So, the Skrulls Starship ultimately fell into the hands of the Red Order?"
The Red-tailed Ghost Parrot replied respectfully, "Yes, Master. Judging from Stark Industries' involvement in this exploration project, it's almost certain that the Starship's pilot is that famous playboy scientist, Tony Stark."
" Tony Stark, Kaecilius ..." Lenora scoffed. " Kamar-Taj is really going downhill! Now they're even cooperating with those lowly mortals..."
"This is a disgrace to the Earth Wizarding World!"
She dropped her makeup brush, and her delicate, pretty face began to contort.
" Richard!"
The Red-tailed Ghost Parrot sensed the anger in her tone and quickly lowered its head, replying, "Please give your orders, Master."
Lenora looked at the distorted face in the dressing mirror and quickly calmed the anger rising in her heart; her face also quickly returned to its previous radiant state.
"Gather all information about the Stark Industries, especially Tony Stark!"
"I will make the wizarding world of Earth realize a new truth..."
"Lowly mortals are only fit to grovel at the feet of noble wizards and lick their shoes!"
"Yes, Master!" the Red-tailed Ghost Parrot replied respectfully.
Lenora waved her hand and said coldly, "Get out there and get back to work."
"Yes, Master!" the Red-tailed Ghost Parrot replied, quickly turned around, opened the wooden door, and hurried away.
'Flutter~'
The sound of flapping wings rang out, then quickly disappeared into the distance.
Lenora watched as the Red-tailed Ghost Parrot swooped past the wooden bed and fled from the valley in the dressing mirror, and couldn't help but snort coldly.
"What a hypocritical, despicable man! Even in his current ugly state, he's still full of lies!"
With a wave of her hand, the wooden door and windows of the Wooden Cabin slammed shut.
Immediately afterwards, thick black fog quickly rose from the entire valley, completely obscuring the Lake Center Island.
In the valley, the Red-tailed Ghost Parrot, which was flying away at full speed, looked horrified the moment the black mist appeared.
It cursed inwardly: Fuck! Does that crazy woman Lenora want to kill me?!
'Sizzle~'
The Red-tailed Ghost Parrot felt a sharp pain as the black mist continuously corroded its half- Ghost body, and couldn't help but scream.
"Gah!!!"
Its illusory parrot body suddenly glowed with a faint, soft light.
Although the soft light temporarily separated the black mist, it was being weakened by the mist's extremely corrosive properties at a visible rate.
"No! No! No! I don't want to die! I don't want to die!!!"
The Red-tailed Ghost Parrot shrieked, and its lower half- Ghost body suddenly exploded!
'boom!'
The explosion instantly dispersed the surrounding black mist and gave its remaining Ghost body a tremendous impact.
The remains of the Red-tailed Ghost Parrot, trailing a brilliant tail flame, plunged headfirst into the white clouds drifting above the valley.
'Buzz~'
After a dizzying moment, the Red-tailed Ghost Parrot successfully reached the emerald green lake in the desert oasis.
'boom!'
A huge splash of water erupted, and a pack of desert wolves that had come to the oasis lake to drink were so frightened that they let out a whimper and fled with their tails between their legs.
The Red-tailed Ghost Parrot circled above the oasis, cursing wildly.
"You vicious, crazy woman! Why aren't you dead yet! Why aren't you dead yet!"
"Ugly freak, ugly freak! Even if you wear the most beautiful woman's face, you're still an ugly freak!"
"Fuck!!!"
After cursing, the Red-tailed Ghost Parrot landed on the trunk of a thick, large tree by the lake. Wisps of eerie red mist rose from its remains, quickly enveloping it in a red cocoon.
After a short while, the red cocoon gradually turned grayish-white, and finally cracked and shattered.
A Red-tailed Ghost Parrot, now almost half the size of its previous one, has reappeared.
It looked down at its own body and cried out in despair.
"The essence of Lao Tzu's soul!!!"
"I've been painstakingly accumulating this for nearly a hundred years!"
The Red-tailed Ghost Parrot, its eyes red, screamed wildly, "Damn Lenora! I'll kill you sooner or later!!!"
But after I finished yelling at it, it quieted down.
The work still needs to be done...
After all, its Soul Origin in Lenora's hands.
The Red-tailed Ghost Parrot spotted a direction and darted away through space.
On the other side, a mysterious valley.
Black fog enveloped the entire valley.
The Wooden Cabin on the Lake Center Island were still as bright as day.
Lenora got up and walked to a painting on the left wall, then walked straight into it without stopping.
'Buzz~'
Transparent ripples suddenly appeared.
Lenora disappeared directly into the ripples.
When she reappeared, she was inside a secluded cave.
There is an Altar inside the cave.
At the very center of the Altar stood a strange statue whose face was obscured.
The statue has eight menacing arms, and although its face is not clearly visible, a spiraling black horn curving upwards grows from between its eyebrows.
As soon as Lenora entered the cave, she deftly removed the thin white veil from her body, and walked naked to a spot three meters in front of the Altar, stopping her beautiful body.
Without hesitation, she used her incredibly sharp nails to slash her left and right wrists.
Fresh blood gushed from the wound, quickly pooling into a large dark red puddle at Lenora's feet.
The significant loss of blood made her face appear abnormally pale.
Lenora remained unfazed, showing no regard for the blood on the ground. She prostrated herself on the ground and began to recite prayers devoutly.
In the folds of this twilight,
Your devout followers call upon you--
The chaotic claws that tear through space and time
The god of the end, the one who brings about the end of all things.
Your name has caused countless lives to wail in anguish.
Your authority is the most dazzling crown of eternal night.
O mighty Lord of Evil Spirits,
Please tear away this hypocritical world.
Let your shadow cover the earth.
Let your whispers become the new law.
I offer my pure wizard's blood.
And my most devout faith,
"Descend, Lord of Evil Spirits!"
As she recited, the statues on the Altar began to tremble slowly.
'Buzz~ Buzz~ Buzz~'
With the tremors, the eight arms of the Heretic God Statue began to wave strangely.
'Click!'
A pitch-black Spatial Rift split open above the Heretic God Statue.
Immediately afterwards, a black claw reached in from the gap.
'Tear!'
With just a slight exertion, the sharp claw tore open an even wider gap.
Immediately, a terrifying shadow drifted in through the crack.
The shadow was shrouded in an incredibly dense black mist, and apart from the protruding black claw, no other limbs could be seen.
The shadow fell in front of Lenora, and the surrounding black mist immediately began to Greed suck up the pool of dark red blood on the ground.
Soon, the dark red blood on the ground was completely absorbed by the black mist.
But then, two strands of black mist shot out and extended along the bloodstains to the wounds on Leona's left and right wrists, probing directly into them.
"Hmm!"
Lenora groaned, feeling as if two high-powered water pumps were frantically drawing blood from her body.
"The Lord of Evil... the Lord of Evil Spirits!"
She screamed in horror.
The black mist outside the shadows churned, then slowly withdrew the two wisps of mist with a hint of reluctance.
"Hmm, Lenora, your blood is still so tempting..."
Lenora's face was deathly pale, and she managed a weak smile.
She said weakly, "To be favored by His Majesty the Lord of Evil Spirits is my Glory."
"I only regret that my mortal body is unable to satisfy Your Majesty's appetite."
The shadow couldn't help but let out a joyful laugh.
" Lenora, I like your mouth more than your blood."
"Once you officially return to the Realm of Evil Spirits, stay by my side forever."
Lenora was overjoyed and quickly kowtowed in gratitude. "Thank you for your mercy, Your Majesty. I will certainly do my duty to the best of my ability."
"Get up, Lenora." The shadow extended a full claw and gently grabbed at Lenora.
Lenora involuntarily floated up from the ground.
She staggered slightly, but managed to steady herself.
"Your Majesty, I have urgent information to report to you."
A question arose from the shadows.
"Um?"
Lenora immediately gave a 'detailed' report on the Red Order's joint efforts with Stark Industries and Kamar-Taj to send a space Exploration Team.
After hearing this, the shadow couldn't help but let out a mocking laugh.
"Hahaha, I never expected the Ancient One to end up with such a mediocre successor."
" Lenora..."
Lenora quickly bowed her head and replied, "Yes, Your Majesty."
"Take all your men and attack the Exploration Team Exploration Team the day they officially set off."
Lenora replied without hesitation, "Yes, Your Majesty!"
The shadow hesitated for a moment, then suddenly extended a claw and pierced Lenora's forehead.
'Well...'
Lenora let out a soft moan and instantly lost consciousness.
Streams of black energy flowed continuously into her body through that claw-like finger.
Soon, Lenora's body began to change.
'Tear... tear...'
His fair skin was quickly torn open with one hideous gash after another.
Then, a thin, translucent skin fluttered off her face.
The moment Lenora's true form was revealed, the black energy flowing through that claw instantly ceased.
shadow:...
Even the Lord of Evil Spirits seemed stunned by Lenora's face.
What an awkward and ugly face!
Eyebrows, eyes, mouth, nose, ears...
Each one individually is very standard.
Even his heterochromatic gray-brown eyes are a huge plus.
But when combined, the result is an extremely awkward and ugly impact.
It makes one feel an irresistible urge to take her facial features off and reassemble them.
The shadow kept repeating to itself. "[Hold on! You must hold on!]"
[This is the only believer I've managed to cultivate on Earth; I had no choice, no choice at all...]
I managed to adjust my mood, but the shadows continued to pour in dark energy.
However, compared to before, this injection seemed to be faster and more violent.
'Rip~ Rip~'
Lenora's previously tattered skin peeled off piece by piece, and scaly keratin re-covered her body.
Immediately afterwards, her body began to swell and grow larger.
The fingernails and toenails grew rapidly, turning black and hard.
'Whoosh! Whoosh!'
Suddenly, jagged, sharp bone spurs sprouted from her shoulders and elbows.
Her once full breasts were now sealed off by two raised, grayish-white carapaces.
As the shadow faded from the claws, the finger hole left on Lenora's forehead quickly healed.
"Ugh~" Lenora groaned and slowly opened her eyes.
shadow:...
He looked into those heterochromatic gray-brown eyes, trying to hold back as he went, but in the end he couldn't resist...
'Whoosh!'
The retracted claws plunged back into the space between the eyebrows.
Lenora, who had just opened her eyes, closed them again.
Her awkward, ugly face began to twitch.
In less than a second, it was as if the beauty filter had been doubled!
Ten seconds passed, and the claw withdrew again.
"Hmm~" Lenora slowly opened her eyes.
She immediately noticed something was wrong with her body.
"My body..."
She quickly opened her arms and clenched her fists.
"Power! Unprecedented, immense power!"
"Ha ha ha ha!"
"With this power, I will surely be able to recreate the glory of my ancestors and dominate the entire world!"
The next second, her eyes inadvertently caught sight of a human face lying on the ground, its skin as thin as a cicada's wing...
