"Oh? I can lift the curse on you. In exchange, you will swear eternal loyalty to the Tartarus Royal Family. Can you accept that?"
Dixiu showed little warmth as he looked at the kneeling members of Groom.
Bringing Groom under their command would do much to strengthen the Kronos Kingdom.
Every one of these thousands was a powerful warrior, with battle in their blood and gifts beyond those of ordinary people.
If he was going to bring them into the fold, he would do it thoroughly and keep that power firmly in his hands.
That would prevent any unexpected trouble in the future.
More importantly, it would strengthen the Tartarus Royal Family.
The Kronos Kingdom was developing at a breakneck pace, and the Royal Family controlled everything. Only a Royal Family of absolute strength could suppress any dissent.
These warriors, raised in darkness and bloodshed, could prove invaluable whether they entered the Netherworld, Hell, or the military.
They already had an excellent foundation. With the Kronos Kingdom's training, their average strength would rise quickly.
The best among them might even have the potential to become Top Combatants.
The choice was his to make.
The Kingdom was not so charitable. It would take every advantage it could.
"In a sense, this is a new curse."
Dixiu viewed the matter entirely from the standpoint of the Kingdom and the Family.
Nothing came free.
Beside him, neither Jörmungandr, Kaz, nor Zoro showed any change in expression.
The interests of the Kingdom and the Family came first.
The Tartarus Family held supreme status in the Kronos Kingdom, and Hades was the supreme god of the entire Kingdom!
Since Hades had taken over, the Kingdom had developed even faster, and nearly everyone had benefited.
His control over the Kingdom had also grown ever more complete.
