Zhu Tian started by deceiving his father-in-law from the perspective of pirates.

Humans in the world of One Piece, especially those skilled in Devil Fruit abilities, have an exceptionally high level of control over their bodies.

After Kaido and his daughter consumed the fel blood for over a month, all their demonic characteristics disappeared, and they successfully took control of their bodies.

The evil energy on their bodies only emerges when they use demonic transformation or transform into a phantom beast form. The father and daughter directly use the evil energy as a kind of fruit power.

However, perhaps due to the special rules of the One Piece world, the evil energy did not cause too much infection.

Even Rhodes has fused with fel energy in a special way, so he no longer needs to worry about fel energy eroding his body when practicing spells.

The three of them currently have no fel energy at all, and their aura is not showing. Of course, if Rhodes uses fel magic, or if the father and daughter use their demon transformation, then their powerful fel energy will still be revealed.

"How is this possible? They would definitely turn into demons after consuming the blood of the Abyss Lord! These two!" Salna exclaimed in surprise.

Are you kidding me? This is completely overturning his understanding. What race can perfectly accept the power of fel energy without causing any changes in its form?

Where did the master go? Where did he find this monster? Salna curiously stepped forward and touched Kaido, then carefully sensed it, only to find a tiny bit of evil energy reacting in Kaido's body.

“It seems my guess was correct. Alright, Salna, don’t dwell on these things. Let me ask you, how are the things I asked you to prepare before I left coming along?” Rhodes said.

"Don't worry, Master. These days, whenever I have free time, I go out and capture those low-level creatures, such as mermen, kobolds, and gnolls. I've caught a whole bunch of them."

"They're all locked in the basement. Your basement is full now," Salna said.

She did a good job of doing what Rod had instructed her to do before she left.

After all, he's a big shot who's about to summon the Burning Legion; if the supply of fel energy isn't enough, that would be a real problem.

“OK! Get ready, we’ll use fel magic tonight, employing a demon summoning circle, to summon Kil’jaeden,” Rhodes said.

After training in the world of One Piece for a period of time, he has improved both his strength and his control over fel magic. Now he is confident in dealing with some special situations.

"Ok!"

“Kaido, and Yamato! You two need to change your size a bit. If you run around like this, you'll scare people.” After saying that, Rhodes took out two bottles of transformation potion.

This was something Rhode had prepared in advance, which could reduce the height of Kaido and his daughter to that of normal human beings.

However, it only lasts for 24 hours. After 24 hours, Rhodes will have to go back to the spell shop in Stormwind to buy more.

"What a nuisance." Kaido impatiently took the potion from Rhodes and drank it. Instantly, he grew from a height of over seven meters to about two and a half meters. Although he still looked amazing, he no longer resembled a monster.

Yamato also drank the potion and turned into a girl who was over 1.8 meters tall.

"Rhodes, when are you going to find me a mentor to teach me the way of a warrior? And where exactly is this expert you mentioned?" Kaido said.

"Don't worry, you won't have to wait too long. You should learn the way of the warrior first, and I will invite a warrior mentor over tomorrow."

"You can learn some basics from him first, and Yamato can also learn some. As for Runti, I have something to tell you to do later," Rod said.

“What do you want Xiaorun to do? Let me tell you, strange things are impossible,” Runti said.

Rod smiled but didn't say anything.

Late the next night, Rhodes inscribed a fel summoning circle in his basement.

Then he summoned four Legion Imps and began to extract the life energy from the lower creatures imprisoned in the basement.

One by one, the little fishmen, jackals, and kobolds were drained of their life energy.

"Wah wah! Quack quack! Woof!"

The fel magic circle began to light up, a green light flashed, and a huge red demonic shadow appeared.

Chapter 38 The Deceiver's Disdain, Kaido's Teachings

The great demon he summoned this time was still that guy Azodon.

"We meet again, kid. Time flies," Azoton said, looking at Rhodes.

“Azodon, the time we agreed on has arrived. Have you brought Lord Kil'jaeden with you?” Rhodes asked.

"Well, I reported this matter to Lord Kil'jaeden, and also explained in detail the magical crystal containing spatial energy in your possession."

"Unfortunately, Lord Kil'jaeden is extremely busy, so he can only ask me to pass on a message and convey an order to you." Azoton said with a cold laugh.

“What do you mean, Azoton?” Rod asked, frowning.

"That's right, that's what we agreed on, and I've kept my promise."

I did report to Kil'jaeden, but Lord Kil'jaeden, isn't it normal that he doesn't have time to see you?

Lord Kil'jaeden has a lot to do to lead the entire Burning Legion, so it's already quite an achievement that he can convey even one order to you.

And on our first meeting, you didn't give me anything, you just showed me some things.

"I only taught you advanced fel magic and gave you a vial of Abyss Lord's blood. I'm much more sincere than you are," Azordon said with a smile.

"Lord Kil'jaeden, is there anything you want me to say? Just tell me!" Rhodes said.

"Young man, you want to join the Burning Legion and become a high-ranking member, gaining powerful fel energy. All of that is fine; Lord Kil'jaeden can grant your wishes. But you must also demonstrate your worth."

I am now conveying Lord Kil'jaeden's orders to you. Soon, the Dark Portal will reopen. At that time, you will join either the Alliance or the Horde and then travel to Outland.

Find Kael'thas, the Blood Elf prince in Outland, and Lord Kil'jaeden will give you a special demon badge.

Gain Prince Kael'thas's trust and you will become his subordinate. Then, hand over the spatial energy crystal you possess to Prince Kael'thas.

"Your mission is complete. You will successfully join the Burning Legion, become a member of the Legion, and then learn the Legion's fel magic," Azordon said.

Upon hearing this, Rhodes' brows furrowed deeply, and his expression even turned somewhat angry.

That's it! That's it! Kil'jaeden actually made me a subordinate of Kael'thas?!

Did something go wrong?

What I want is an opportunity to meet with the Burning Legion's top brass; even Kil'jaeden isn't his ultimate goal.

Rhodes's ultimate plan was to contact Sargeras through Kil'jaeden, and then demonstrate to Sargeras his ability to travel through other universes.

But now, a super awkward situation has arisen: Kil'jaeden doesn't really care about him at all.

Or rather, this bastard fel lord named Azodon didn't report his situation to Kil'jaeden at all.

He did report that he possessed an energy crystal capable of opening a portal between windows, but he did not report how vast or pure the spatial energy within it was, or what kind of portal it could open.

The last time he was in the Marvel universe, he continuously absorbed the energy from the Space Stone. This infinite energy allowed Rhode to fill all the magical energy crystals on his body before leaving.

Kil'jaeden thought he was just an ordinary mortal who had gotten lucky and acquired a crystal containing spatial energy.

So he simply sent him to see Kael'thas, who still wanted to carry out his Sunwell plan; he had no idea how powerful the Space Stone's energy was.

Otherwise, given Kil'jaeden's personality, he would definitely come to see me in person. So, is this what they mean by "It's easier to see the King of Hell than to deal with his underlings"?

"Thank you so much for your recommendation, Lord Azoton. I will definitely repay you in the future," Rhodes said with a forced smile.

"Hahaha! Here you go, kid. This is the demon badge that Lord Kil'jaeden personally bestowed upon you. Just take it to Prince Kael'thas."

"As long as you successfully complete the Legion's mission, you will receive a reward after we arrive in this world," Azoton said.

At the same time, a crimson triangular badge landed in front of Rhodes.

Foolish human brat, you dare to threaten a fel lord? Do you think I really have no way to deal with you?

Once our legion descends upon this world, I'll drain your soul the moment I arrive, grind you to dust, and show you what happens when you dare threaten an Eredar demon.

"Hehehe! Well then, our conversation can end here, Mr. Azoton."

"Remember, kid, call me Lord Azoton. Complete your mission well, and the Legion won't let you work for nothing." After saying that, Azoton left the scene without even saying another word to Rhodes.

After Azodon left, Kaido appeared behind Rod.

"Hahahaha! I'm dying of laughter, kid. You've been underestimated. This guy treats you like a nobody. I recognize that look. I see the same look in his eyes when I look at ordinary small-time pirates."

Rhodes remained silent, because Kaido was right; the other party had never taken a liking to him at all, he was only interested in the spatial energy in his possession.

“I will make that demon pay the price, I promise,” Rhodes said.

After three days of separation, you should look at each other with admiration.

I will make you remember those words, Fel Lord, Lord Eredar Demon Azodon.

"Kid! Let me teach you what to do! The reason he looks down on you is because you're too weak. In his eyes, you're just a nobody."

He didn't take you seriously at all. I don't know what you used to impress him, but it certainly wasn't your strength," Kaido said.

“Speak, Kaido!” Rod said.

"I experienced something similar when I was young. The other party looked down on me and thought I was just a nobody, until I kept defeating those guys who were more powerful than me in terms of reputation and strength."

So now you only have one thing to do, which is to show your strength, show your power, and let's make a scene!

Didn't he tell you to obey Kael'thas's orders? Just kill him, kill that Prince Kael'thas!

"That Kil'jaeden, he'll definitely notice you, hahaha!" Kaido said.

"Hahahaha! You're right, Kaido. I need to make that Lord Kil'jaeden take me seriously." Rhodes lightly tossed his hair and said with a laugh.

Chapter 39 Kill the rich guy first, then take down the egg boss

Kaido was absolutely right. Rod finally understood why Azoton could control him: because he lacked the strength to match Azoton's.

He did indeed have something the other party wanted, but the Burning Legion in Azeroth was not blind. The dreadlord lurking here and the fel lord Kazzak residing in the Chaos Lands were not to be trifled with.

Thinking of this, Rhode picked up the demon badge he had just received, and then the fel energy in his hand surged and destroyed it.

Are you going to take this legion's badge and go find some blood elf prince who's about to die?

What a joke! And how would I know if there are any tracking or location-based spells up there that would allow you to pinpoint my location?

Kaido was absolutely right. He needed to do something big enough to make Kil'jaeden's eyes pop out of their sockets.

Why did Kil'jaeden set his sights on the orcs? Because of the orcs' immense potential. Why did he set his sights on Lordaeron, on Illidan, and finally on Kael'thas? It was all because of the power they possessed.

In front of these big shots, he was just a nobody, a mere Karami. He was even being asked to meet with the blood elf Kael'thas, who would probably just take the magic energy crystal from him and then ignore him.

"Speak, kid, what are you planning? Make a scene, and I'll cooperate. I'm really looking forward to it," Kaido said.

Upon hearing this, Rhodes stroked his chin and began to think.

His original goal was to trade with Kil'jaeden in exchange for some advanced fel magic, even some necromancy spells, as well as the method to create the Dark Portal, which could connect Azeroth to the pirate world.

Then we'd find Kaido a suitable teacher to teach him the way of the warrior, but now those plans need to be changed.

We are currently 25 years after the opening of the Black Gate, which, according to the game's timeline, is the 60s.
