Global Demon King: Starting as the Abyssal Dragon - Chapter 332: Succubus Empress

Darkness City.

When Zhang Nu found Han Kexin again, the Succubus Queen had undergone significant changes. Zhang Nu could clearly sense that, although her level hadn’t changed, her strength had at least increased several times.

[Succubus Empress: Han Kexin] Level 6 legendary

“Looks like everything went smoothly,” Zhang Nu nodded with great satisfaction.

After defeating the Primeval Behemoth Amit, Zhang Nu obtained the legend crystal. While such an item was of no use to him, already being a legendary existence, it was highly beneficial for Han Kexin, helping her bloodline evolve. As a result, Han Kexin successfully became a Level 6 legendary existence. Han Kexin’s ranking on the Demon King leaderboard had instantly soared to around the tenth position, nearly making her one of the top ten Demon Kings.

Zhang Nu asked, “Have there been any changes?”

Han Kexin replied, “Of course, my stats have all been enhanced. Not only that, but my skills have also changed and their effects have greatly improved.”

Han Kexin demonstrated on the spot.

With a light flick of her left hand, she shot out ten purple threads. The threads flew into the air and gathered, forming into several spirit bodies, each exuding a powerful aura. Among them were six Behemoth Kings, as well as Heroes Will and Jason, totaling over ten spirits. Zhang Nu was somewhat surprised. From what he knew, Han Kexin’s Soul Shepherding skill could summon a maximum of six soul slaves. Unexpectedly, she could now summon ten at once, including two who were legendary beings in their lifetime.

These soul slaves weren’t created out of thin air; they were crafted using the corresponding souls through the secret arts of the Succubus Empress. They could be used repeatedly, and their strength was close to what they had in life, allowing them to use most of their original abilities and talents. However, soul slaves couldn’t be resurrected. If they were killed during use, their souls would be destroyed as well, so caution was necessary.

Han Kexin explained, “I can now control up to twelve soul slaves, and I can manage even legendary units of the same level!”

So that explained it. Her increased rank significantly enhanced her skill effects. With just this ability, Han Kexin could easily handle and suppress most beings of the same level. Moreover, her improvements didn’t stop there. Her other skills were also enhanced. For instance, her permanent charm could now be used on legendary targets with a much higher success rate and a reduced cooldown time.

“With your current strength, you can definitely hold the line on your own,” Zhang Nu said. “I’m going to entrust you with the task of consolidating the federation. You need to resolve the issues as quickly as possible.”

Han Kexin confidently replied, “No problem!”

The Chaos Federation was currently vast. Apart from the headquarters and the origin point, the Chaos Forest, it included the Pale Moon Peninsula and the entire Thunder Empire to the north. Compared to the Thunder Empire, the Chaos Forest’s territory was too small. Thus, fully integrating such a large area was not an easy task in a short time.

In the four duchies and border regions of the Empire, there were still many feudal nobles either forming rebel forces or declaring independence, unwilling to surrender their hereditary lands and power. These issues needed to be addressed gradually. However, Zhang Nu no longer needed to handle such minor matters personally, as he had more important things to do.

Recently, the Chaos Federation had been developing rapidly. Zhang Nu had seven high-ranking members under his command, all of whom had mythic or higher-class strength. Apart from Han Kexin, who had become a legendary figure, there were: Elven Empress Nancilia, Sea Empress Shui Lan, Human Empress Ophelia, and the three Dragon Emperors of the Darkness City, Long Yi, Zhang San, and Li Si.

Zhang San and Li Si inherently had the potential to become mythic units. Through the means of the Demon King’s baptism and other methods, Zhang Nu easily elevated them. In contrast, Long Yi did not initially have the talent to be a Dragon Emperor. However, Zhang Nu used a mythic crystal to elevate Long Yi to Dragon Emperor, making him one of the most significant figures in the Darkness City.

As for the other mythic crystals, Zhang Nu planned to cultivate one or two Demonic Emperors. After all, the demon clan of the Gloom City, under Han Kexin, had great potential and could enrich the high-end combat power structure of both the Darkness City and the Chaos Federation.

In addition to these emperor-class figures, the Chaos Federation currently had over twenty monarch-class entities. Zhang Nu, possessing the Soul Altar that could bestow kingly potential, could mass-produce monarch-class units. These units served as the regional leaders under the Demon King’s control, ensuring stability and order across various territories.

Given the current situation, there were two main tasks to accomplish. The first task was to completely conquer the Thunder Empire to obtain the super reward for conquering the entire empire. The second task was to find the last Evil God Eye. Once Zhang Nu found the final Evil God Eye, he could successfully advance to Level 7.

Zhang Nu entrusted Han Kexin with the former task to free up enough energy and time to focus on the latter. After giving instructions to Han Kexin and his subordinates, Zhang Nu set out again. Using the resonance ability of the Evil God fragments, he roughly pinpointed the location of the last Evil God Eye and embarked on his journey.

Han Kexin didn’t remain idle either. She immediately began taking action. She was very satisfied with her current status and position. Although confident that she could do well even without joining under Zhang Nu’s banner, it was clear that she would never have achieved her current success on her own. Han Kexin was now one of the top ten Demon Kings. If she wanted to advance further, she needed to seize the reward for conquering the empire as quickly as possible.

However, while she was actively deploying measures to quell the empire’s rebellion, Empress Ophelia approached Han Kexin.

“Vice City Lord! I have important information!”

Ophelia’s status within the federation was certainly below Han Kexin’s, given that Han Kexin was the Vice City Lord of Darkness City, the Prime Minister of the federation, and the second-in-command of the entire Demon King Alliance.

Han Kexin asked, “What information?”

Ophelia replied, “An emissary from the Radiant Church’s Pope Saint Delores has secretly contacted me.”

Hearing this news, Han Kexin raised an eyebrow, becoming cautious. “The pope? What does she want?”

Ophelia responded, “I’m not entirely sure. Saint Delores wants to meet with me in secret. I suspect it’s highly likely that they plan to take action against the former empire or the federation.”

“The Radiant Church…the pope!” Han Kexin’s eyes narrowed slightly.

She suddenly recalled that the former pope of the Radiant Church was none other than Lucas, ranked seventh on the Hero leaderboard. Considering this, it seemed that Pope Delores’s approach was a probe to test the water, with the true mastermind being the seventh-ranked Hero, Lucas.

Han Kexin said, “Your suspicion is correct. The top echelon of the Radiant Church has long been controlled by the Heroes. They intend to move against us.”

Ophelia quickly asked, “How should I respond?”

After some thought, Han Kexin said, “Since Her Holiness the Pope wants to meet, then let’s meet her.”

Ophelia understood Han Kexin’s implication. She said “we,” meaning Han Kexin planned to accompany Ophelia to meet Pope Delores. Since the Radiant Church wanted to probe the Chaos Federation, why shouldn’t the federation seize this opportunity to probe the Radiant Church in return?
