"Zilingus, the writhing hunger?"

Mu Sheng suddenly realized that it was in his hands.

He immediately became interested in a Sequence 6 Extraordinary, plus a Sequence 5 Magical Item.

Not only can it fill the 'Blacksmith' slot, but it can also complete two-thirds of the Sequence 5 extraordinary trait requirements!

[Sequence 6: Blacksmith (1/3)]

[Sequence 5: Blank (1/3)]

After days of continuous physical training, he has almost finished digesting the spoils from his last hunt for Mr. A.

Audrey's news came at just the right time.

"Do you have any specific intelligence? What is the purpose of this 'Hurricane Admiral' coming to Backlund?"

"I don't know. This 'Hanged Man' didn't say, so he probably doesn't know either."

Audrey kicked off her boots and got into bed, snuggling into Mu Sheng's arms: "I originally planned to entrust the investigation to Hugh and Fors..."

“Oh, by the way, Hugh and Fors are two extraordinary beings I know. Hugh is an ‘arbitrator’ and Fors is an ‘apprentice’.”

“Hugh is somewhat well-known in the labor and gangster circles of East Backlund. Fors is a doctor and aspiring author, and knows quite a few people in the publishing industry and the medical profession…”

"I just forgot about it because of some other things!"

At this point, Audrey looked up at Mu Sheng.

"Ok?"

Mu Sheng saw her reaction and immediately understood: "So it's because of me?"

"I see. I'm the one who delayed Miss 'Justice''s' detective adventure. No, I have to make it up to you..."

With that, Mu Sheng flipped over and pinned Audrey beneath him.

Soon, a burst of playful laughter filled the room.

……

In the restaurant on the first floor, Earl Hall and his wife, Catherine, talked about their daughter.

"Audrey has been acting very mysteriously lately, staying in her room all day. Do you know what she's doing?"

"It's probably something related to extraordinary beings. You know, that child thinks we don't know she's been secretly taking potions!"

Lady Caitlin raised an eyebrow and said with a wry smile.

"Is that right?"

Count Hall was still somewhat uneasy.

"Alright, don't worry. Based on what we know about the attempts, there shouldn't be any danger in the initial stages..."

The blonde, blue-eyed Lady Caitlin gently reassured her Earl husband, "With the Church's extraordinary beings watching over the house, your precious darling will be fine!"

Earl Hall was persuaded by her and gradually put aside his worries.

Then he took Lady Caitlin's hand and said with a loving expression:

“Audrey is my little darling, but you, my wife, you are my great darling…”

Mrs. Caitlin smiled immediately, and the air in the restaurant became sweeter.

Fortunately, Count and Countess Hall were unaware of what was happening upstairs, otherwise they probably wouldn't be in this mood.

For the next few days, Mu Sheng continued to stay at Earl Hall's mansion.

He goes out during the day to find a suitable person to bestow the seed of giants upon, and spends his nights with Audrey.

The two were deeply in love and didn't want to be apart for even a moment.

Dussey County, Connaught, a beautiful seaside town.

Musheng appeared in a village where even the walls smelled of fish, wooden boats were stranded on the beach, and fishing nets were drying in the distance.

In this era where steam technology is widespread, this village still follows ancient fishing methods.

There's no particular reason, it's simply because I'm poor!

After walking around the village, Mu Sheng chose a young fisherman named Fisher, who was an orphan who was raising his younger sister alone.

If this were on a website before Mu Sheng's transmigration, he would definitely be the standard protagonist template.

"The last Titan seed, you'll be it!"

Mu Sheng was too lazy to choose anymore, so he threw a piece of pulsating flesh at the boy who was still trying to mend the fishing net not far away.

The moment he came into contact with the young Fisher, the seed of giants was ingrained in his blood.

"All done. Now we just need to wait for these seeds to grow..."

Just as Mu Sheng was about to leave, a thought suddenly struck him, and he remembered the first few giant seeds.

"It's been over a month. Let's go check on Malena and the others!"

So Mu Sheng changed direction on the spot, his figure instantly becoming blurry, and 'traveled' towards Constance City.

Maqun Street, a prostitution district that was originally controlled by gangsters, has changed in the last two weeks.

A Rose Society that appeared out of nowhere defeated the gang that occupied this street and became the new master of Hemp Skirt Street.

Unlike previous gangs, the Rose Society only takes a 30% cut from prostitutes and fireflies, and also waives venue fees.

It is said that the Rose Society is so tolerant of these prostitutes and fireflies because their leader used to make a living on this street.

"Really? A prostitute who makes money by spreading her legs can actually take over territory from a bunch of ruthless gangsters?"

Inside a tavern on Maqun Street, several workers were drinking and talking about the recent changes in Maqun Street.

“An ordinary prostitute won’t do, but what about a prostitute who possesses extraordinary power?”

One of the workers said meaningfully.

"Extraordinary power? Why don't you just say she's a magician..."

His companions didn't believe him. They said, "Extraordinary? Isn't that just something made up in novels?"
"Hahaha, a magician with extraordinary powers comes to Hemp Skirt Street to work as a prostitute. Old Pete, the story you made up is terrible..."

"Exactly, exactly! Why don't you say which country's princess she is?"

"If some princess were to come to Hemp Skirt Street to work as a prostitute, I would go bankrupt to support her business!"

"Hahaha……"

The others laughed at Old Pete's statement.

Old Pete immediately became anxious: "Why don't you believe me? A relative of a friend of mine saw it with their own eyes..."

"The female leader of the Rose Society transformed into a giant over two meters tall, and all the gangsters who stood in her way were sent flying like rubber balls..."

Upon hearing Old Pete's description, the workers exchanged glances and then burst into laughter in unison.

"He's getting anxious, old Pete is getting anxious!"

"She transforms into a giant? Why don't you just say she transforms into an angel?"

"That's right, I think this Rose Society is just a women's gang, no different from the old mafia..."

Seeing that no one believed him, Old Pete started arguing with them, but no one could convince anyone else.

The argument between the group was getting increasingly heated, and they were almost about to come to blows.

One of them quickly stood up to stop the farce: "Alright, alright, we're all out here for a reason, don't let this ruin our mood..."

"Who is the leader of the Rose Society? Doesn't he still live his life the same way?"

"Gangs are still gangs, prostitutes are still prostitutes, and we are still workers..."

The table quickly fell silent. After a long while, someone took a big gulp of cheap beer and cursed, "What a son of a bitch this world is like!"

The others also raised their glasses.

"Well said! Cheers to this son of a bitch world!"

"Respect to the bitch!"

"..."

In a three-story building in the center of Maqun Street.

Malena stood at the window of her third-floor office, lost in thought as she watched the prostitutes on the street, their breasts mostly exposed, waving their arms to solicit customers.

Before taking over Hemp Skirt Street, all Malena was thinking about was how to defeat those gangster bastards who exploited them.

But after actually taking over the Hemp Skirt Street, other ideas began to sprout in Malena's mind.

Why should these women be relegated to being prostitutes?
Aside from a very small number of people who are inherently masochistic, who would be willing to throw their dignity into the mud and spread their legs to become a whore who would be fucked for money?

But if they don't become prostitutes, how can these women survive?

Malena fell into deep thought!
This wasn't something she should have been considering, but ever since accepting that man's gift, Marlena's mind kept popping up with ideas and concepts.

These ideas and concepts were like a blazing red flame, subtly transforming her thinking.

Most people would be afraid in this situation, wondering if they were possessed by some evil god, but Malena did not have such thoughts.

She really liked the ideas and concepts conveyed in them.

Those thoughts led her to the root of her suffering and taught her how a person should live!

"But if they don't become prostitutes, how will these women make a living?"

Malena frowned. If she dared to shut down the prostitution business on Hemp Skirt Street, the first people to object would probably be these prostitutes.

Malena considered many other ways to make money, but none of them met her requirements.

These prostitutes seem to have no other survival skills besides spreading their legs...

Malena felt frustrated. Was it really that hard to change a person's fate?
Why are you troubled?

A voice suddenly rang out from behind her, startling Malena. The Giant Seed within her surged forth, preparing her for battle.

However, when she turned around, a familiar figure came into view.

"My Lord God!"

Malena immediately knelt on one knee, bowed her head respectfully, and greeted them:

"Malena greets Your Majesty, Your body is heavier than the earth, Your will is broader than the sky, Your light is hotter than the sun..."

Malena prayed fervently; if it weren't for the blessings of God, she would still be worrying about food for tomorrow.

After listening quietly to Malena's greeting, Mu Sheng continued with his previous question: "Why are you troubled?"

"Haven't you already achieved a better life? What more could you want?"

'What else is there to be dissatisfied with?' Malena was somewhat dazed.

'yes!'

'Wasn't her initial wish simply to give little George a better life?'

'Now that this goal has been achieved, why am I still not satisfied?'

After a long silence, Malena came up with an answer, raised her head, and respectfully replied:
"Great God! Please forgive my greed!"

"I am not satisfied because I want to be a person with dignity, and to give all prostitutes and fireflies the opportunity to become people with dignity!"

A glint of light flashed in Malena's eyes—a red glint.

A look of satisfaction appeared on Mu Sheng's face.

"To be a person of dignity is not about greed, nor does it require forgiveness; it is a right that every person is born with..."

"The fault lies not with you, nor with all of you, but with the world!"

"The Papacy, nobles, and wealthy merchants—these people monopolize power, authority, and wealth, using the laws they themselves have created to exploit and oppress the common people at the bottom of society..."

"The dignity you desire can only be obtained by stepping over the corpses of these high and mighty people!"

"Now, do you still want dignity?"

Mu Sheng's voice seemed to come from tens of thousands of miles above the sky, so ethereal and so majestic.

'Was it over the corpses of those people?'

A series of bright red thoughts and ideas flashed through Malena's mind, and she answered firmly:

"If this is the only way to live like a human being, then I'm willing to give my life..."

"To create a bright future for George, and for millions of children like George!"

Upon hearing Malena's reply, Mu Sheng's lips curled into a satisfied smile.

The effects of the Giant Seed did not disappoint him, which was also related to Malena's own inherent nature.

A person who suffers endless exploitation and oppression, yet dares not even entertain the thought of resistance.

Even with the subtle transformations of the Giant Seed, they are ultimately nothing more than puppets of another ideology.

In comparison, Malena's initiative is truly commendable!

"The advancement of thought requires the armament of power!"

"This is a blessing for your enlightenment!"

Mu Sheng raised his finger and gently tapped Malena's forehead.

The latter's body trembled instantly, and an even more powerful, scorching force surged from the Giant Seed within its body.

After Mu Sheng advanced to Sequence 6, the changes to the 'Giant Bishop' were not only an increase in the number of seeds, but also an increase in the upper limit of power.

I hope you can bring me more surprises!

Mu Sheng's figure became blurry and then vanished into nothingness.

Backlund, Queens.

At the Duke of Negan’s residence, a grand ball is underway.

"It's so boring!"

Audrey Hall stood on the second floor of the ballroom, staring blankly at the enormous crystal chandelier hanging from the ceiling.

Images of him and Mu Sheng together kept flashing through his mind.

After dismissing a few male guests who wanted to dance, the quick-witted 'Justice' lady quickly left.

I stepped into the corridor leading to the restaurant.

Just then, she caught a glimpse of a figure approaching out of the corner of her eye, and quickly adopted the demeanor of a noble lady.

"Hello, Baron Gramir."

"..."

A moment later, Audrey frowned as she watched Baron Gramir's departing figure.

"Strange, Baron Gramir is acting differently than usual..."

Her keen observation as an 'audience' allowed her to discover many unusual things.

After thinking for a few seconds, Audrey decisively pressed her hand against the back of her hand and sent a message to Mu Sheng.
