As for the Hell Church, the Church Court, and even the Empire, they merely sent symbolic military help, seemingly to test Qin Muye’s strength.

Even so, they had never considered withdrawing; if they left now, who knows whether the Crimson Ruby King would immediately turn them into gemstone statues.

One could only say if acting were real, he would willingly admit defeat.

The Human Race Bloodline was entirely under his control, not merely semi-digitized as shown in the “Lord Era”; this was the advantage of his own development, and he understood all data and abilities clearly.

If he were to contend with the Lord of Hell in a human manner, death would probably be the best outcome. These experiences were bloody lessons summarized by his ancestors, each of which was memorable.

Taking so many Spirit Monsters would be inconvenient; he had the Lord Summon skill, which he could use later for a direct conscription of Spirit Monsters upon infiltration.

This time he was the MT, mainly to hold onto Vlad III’s hatred, and then the other Spirit Monsters would assist the Crimson Ruby Hell to devour Transylvania City.

This one must be sick…×N

This caused the cardinal to be taken aback, cursing internally, as he had not expected that Qin Muye would be unsure.

The ink isn’t even dry yet, and you’re already dreaming.

Then there’s “Unbearable to Look,” which, although passive, wouldn’t activate if he restrained it.

Therefore, despite finding Qin Muye objectionable, they dared not pick faults or contradict him.

It’s just boasting.

Were they not aware of the King of Hell’s strength? If there were an issue, they’d retreat at the first opportunity; it was merely for a show.

They never attempted to guess the thoughts of the Lord of Hell with human reasoning.

Everyone was cursing internally; these Lords of Hell were indeed unpredictable.

Although it was a bit deceiving, Qin Muye maintained quality and did not dilute his dealings, as the transactions were made hand-to-hand and were not coerced.

Although “Lord Era” depicted only seven types of abilities for his bloodline, there were actually more. These passive states were numerous, and the active ones, too, as negative conditions, if left unchecked, would randomly stack up, but Qin Muye could instantaneously cause the opponent’s negative states to stack up to the max, even going beyond the original limit of 100 layers.

Now, in their hierarchy, the greatest wealth was Demon Crystals, not so-called currency and precious metals.

Now, he had also reined in all anomalies; otherwise, the cardinal would have succumbed to the overwhelming abilities inherent in his bloodline.

If they could master the craft, it meant controlling the whole world because the Demon Crystals brought them not just power but also the temptation of eternal youth, irresistible to anyone.

This time, Qin Muye had come alone; other Spirit Monsters like Tian Qi and Demon Blood were all on high alert.

Qin Muye could also sense that ever since he had his bloodline changed to that of the Human Race, there had been significant differences between him and humans, possibly even witnessing reproductive isolation.

Qin Muye glanced at them; had he not learned of these people’s natures from the mouths of Demon Blood, Evil Speech, and Black Hand, he might have been deceived too.

Seeing this, Qin Muye was quite disappointed. The humans of the Horror Universe, if not transformed into accepting power like the Hell Preacher, were barely first tier. These people, having consumed Demon Crystals and obtained magic power, were merely second tier; perhaps evolving might eventually lead to the emergence of a Magic Civilization or a Demon Crystal Civilization.

At least a year or two would be needed; they lacked the exceptionally powerful Lord Talent that Qin Muye had, so progress had to be gradual. Even with the assistance of Hell Power, it was impossible to rapidly develop relevant civilizations.

Demon Crystals, this was a variant of his crystal technology. The regular crystal technology was about materials, while the variant, Demon Crystals, was an absorbable material, much like sugar.

But now was not the time; it was still too early, and even with various developments using magic power and Demon Crystals, it was still not enough.

Technology had a traceable pattern, but Hell did not abide by any rules.

With such an approach, even the mere act of speaking could overwhelm and confuse a person.

With just the few people they brought, Qin Muye felt that there were not even enough to help him take photographs, let alone assist him further. This was preposterous.

Moreover, the civilization of this world itself was problematic. The power of Hell had turned this planet into the most dreadful one in the cosmos, capable of dragging other extraterrestrial civilizations into Hell even without advanced technology.

Moreover, a king who could ignore the Hell’s Sealing and come and go as he pleased, even if he appeared to be human, could not hide the aura of being the Lord of Hell.

The cardinal in red looked at Qin Muye with a strange expression. Qin Muye was wearing a robe, specifically a crimson magic robe, and over it, he wore armor like that of a giant dragon, which looked quite bizarre.

As for Qin Muye’s power, these three major forces both wanted to eliminate him and could not do without him. The reason was simple; naturally, they did not want the demon crystal trade to be monopolized by Qin Muye.

Of course, the cardinal in red did not fully trust Qin Muye. Talking big was something anyone could do, his remark just now was also just talk, without any concrete benefits everything was just empty promises. Being a cunning old fox, the cardinal certainly was not fooled, but he also did not make harsh comments, instead, he skillfully continued along the lines of what Qin Muye had said.

At that moment, everyone present subtly changed their expressions and even tensed their muscles, as they all entered a tense atmosphere.

Grass (a kind of plant) *N

However, after becoming stronger, he could vaguely perceive the emotional and psychological changes in others. To him, this cardinal appeared majestic, but he also sensed the insincerity in the other’s words.

After all, they could not even be considered allies, merely trading partners. Death was just that.

After all, from the recent combat achievements and various promotions, they believed Qin Muye to be very powerful; otherwise, they would not have possibly lured him to face Vlad III.

Qin Muye definitely had control, and even a follow-up plan, but why should he share that? Did they really think he was merely along for the experience, to endure and add to his credentials?

The 100-layer limit referred to his unconscious limit, not when he took action.

“It’s just that I am a bit special, even if I die, I will be resurrected, so I am not afraid of death,” Qin Muye said, and immediately, everyone who had dismissed their concerns due to the low mood perked up again.

“I thought as much. Where else could you have gotten so much information? You deliberately disclosed it to make me face that Vlad III,” Qin Muye said to the cardinal, his tone teasing.

“Oh, then you guessed wrong. I just like to joke,” Qin Muye said with a malicious smile.

“You must be joking. If you were not confident, how could you dare to go alone to Transylvania City?” The cardinal forced a smile at this point.

“Rest assured, this time I am sending elite troops, guaranteed to take down Vlad III. Under the rule of the King of Hell, there aren’t many evil spirits and demons,” the cardinal said, though he had no faith in Qin Muye’s words at all. They were just puffing each other up.

“It’s good that you are confident. I am sure the cardinal must have brought out secret weapons, especially since even I am not confident,” Qin Muye said teasingly.

“Do I look like someone who enjoys making jokes?” Qin Muye said sternly.

“This is wonderful,” the cardinal muttered curses under his breath, but he was also relieved.

“Demon crystals are not a problem. If we collaborate successfully this time, sharing the demon crystal production technology with you is not out of the question,” Qin Muye said languidly.

“Whether it’s generous or not is one thing, achieving the goal is yours. If this fails, then we might have to talk again later,” Qin Muye said nonchalantly.

“Even the King of Rubies was tempted, of course, because the production of demon crystals is just too low,” the cardinal said, not minding Qin Muye’s sarcasm, and instead spoke like a good friend.

“Your Majesty, the King of Rubies, you are indeed very generous,” the cardinal said, his eyes brightening, although he was unsure, the offer was too tempting.

“No…not like…” the cardinal felt like crying now.
