What do you mean I've traveled to worlds geared towards children?

When the black energy came into contact with the mark, a powerful force of resistance erupted from the point of contact the instant they touched!

Ron instinctively tried to back away, but the black energy suddenly wrapped around him and surged wildly into his heart!

Dark power flowed into his body, and Ron's eyes were filled with darkness, the whites of his eyes and pupils turning completely black. But this only lasted for a moment before his eyes returned to their normal azure blue.

It was at that moment that Ron understood the purpose of the black energy.

First of all, the demon god did not lie to him; the black energy did not brainwash him or make him a lackey of the demon god.

The dark energy has only one purpose: to activate and amplify the negative emotions deep within Ron's heart, thereby influencing Ron's decisions.

If Ron hadn't had the system shielding him from negative mental influences, he would probably be dominated by negative emotions right now, becoming even more gloomy.

Although the demon god didn't seem to be lying to Ron, he actually concealed important information.

So this teaches us a lesson: don't blindly trust strangers, especially those who seem like bad people.

Have the children learned it?

Feeling the influence of the dark energy, Ron muttered to himself, trying to find some bittersweet humor.

Chapter 66 The True Purpose of the Demon God?

Does Ron harbor negative emotions deep down?

There definitely is.

How could he not feel hatred when he witnessed his fellow villagers being slaughtered by monsters and seeing them die before his very eyes?

The reason I've stayed on this mythical beast continent for so long is to gain the power for revenge.

But...revenge isn't something you can just talk about, or simply think about it a few times and shout "I want revenge!" and that's it.

Ron wouldn't let himself get caught up in hatred. When he learned he had the power to take revenge, he had already buried those hatreds deep inside his heart.

He wouldn't actively think about these things, but he wouldn't forget the hatred either. At the same time, he would use these things as motivation to find a way to take revenge.

So Ron tries his best to act normal and not let himself be consumed by the flames of hatred.

Just as the system said, he had too many negative thoughts in his mind before, making him unsuitable to take on the role of the protagonist.

Ron is also reflecting on this. In addition, the process of getting along with An Yan and others along the way, and being influenced by the children's pure hearts, Ron's own psychological state is actually closer to that of his previous life.

And this was during the period when I had just graduated from university and was a shut-in at home.

Therefore, normally Ron wouldn't listen to the demon god's nonsense and would follow the protagonist to complete their adventure.

But... what if Ron is consumed by his deepest negative emotions?

Ron only needed to think for a moment to know what he should do.

"This is... power..."

As Ron sensed the black energy within his body, his expression became more sinister, and his eyes revealed a burning desire and fanaticism for power.

He glanced at the demon god above, then without hesitation took out the Beast Purifier and placed his hand on top of it.

A dark, eerie blue light condensed in one of his hands, and the wolf head on his chest instantly transformed into a phantom wolf-shaped beast, which he held in his hand.

"Dark Evolution!" Ron smirked and forcefully injected the ball of light in his hand into the purifier!

"The Night Wolf King!"

Awoo!

A wolf howl suddenly rang out in the air, and a black wolf-shaped phantom disappeared into Ron's body. Then, in less than a second, Ron appeared in the hall with a completely new appearance.

The ice-type warrior, which should have been ice-blue, now looks completely different from before.

Black armor covered his body, and a wolf-patterned cape draped down his back.

The wolf helmet armor on his head completely covered his face, and his fierce eyes revealed an evil red light as he shot straight at the demon god in front of him!

A fantasy-level mythical beast, the Night Wolf King!

Ice-type and Dark-type dual-elemental mythical beasts.

The evolved phantom beast of the previous rank was the Night Wolf that Ron and the others rescued when they saved the baby insect.

However, since it has the title of 'Wolf King' as a suffix, any canine or wolf-type mythical beast has the potential to evolve into the Night Wolf King.

Therefore, Ron's Frost Wolf has now evolved into the Night Wolf King under the influence of darkness, and has completed the armor coverage on Ron!

"That's right! It seems I wasn't wrong after all."

Seeing how quickly Ron had mastered his newfound power, the Demon God was about to praise him.

Before he could finish speaking, the demon god saw a beam of dark blue light suddenly shoot from the front. Upon closer inspection, he saw that the dark blue light was enveloping Ron himself!

He himself instantly traversed a distance of more than ten meters and arrived in front of the demon god!

"!"

When the demon god noticed that Ron had arrived in front of him, the black-armored warrior raised his right leg high and slammed it heavily into the black aura that the demon god had formed!

boom! !

The point where the black energy collided with his legs produced an extremely dull impact sound.

Looking at the demon god's side again, a hexagonal purple shield perfectly protects the demon god's side.

Ron's gaze sharpened upon seeing this, and he was about to continue the pursuit when he saw black energy burst forth from the demon god's body.

The red and black aura touched the black aura on Ron's body, and in just a moment, Ron retreated from his armed state back to his original form, leaving only his original form maintaining the action of kicking the demon god.

Tsk, it can even forcibly disarm. This guy really did leave a backup plan regarding the power of darkness.

Ron, unperturbed by his failed attack, quickly retreated, raised his head to look at the demon god, his eyes slightly cold, and let out a sneer:

"Hehehe, looks like you didn't believe me either."

"Likewise, didn't you also want to destroy me as soon as you gained power?" the demon god retorted defiantly.

Ron calmly replied, "I'm not used to being ordered around. Since you want to be my boss, I'll have to test whether you're qualified."

His speaking style suddenly changed, as if he had gone from a good kid to a second-rate villain.

Although the change in style was abrupt, the demon god remained unsuspecting and asked in return:

"So, am I qualified now?"

"Hmph, I'll take that position from you sooner or later."

Ron pointed at the demon god, uttered some harsh words, and then turned and left.

This is the persona he created for himself in front of the demon god: arrogant, conceited, unruly, and with a deep desire for power and strength... especially power.

Since the Demon God never intended to kill Ron from the beginning, it proves that Ron is useful to him. Therefore, no matter what Ron does or what form he takes, the Demon God will not attack Ron.

This is also the source of Ron's confidence in probing the other party earlier.

Moreover, the Demon God would probably be satisfied with Ron's changes, since a subordinate with obvious desires is always easier to control.

……

The demon god remained silent.

He didn't say a word until Ron left.

Once the mimic bat returned and confirmed that Ron had gone back to his room to rest, the demon god finally seemed to breathe a sigh of relief and wriggled slightly, then instructed the mimic bat to continue watching Ron.

"...I never imagined this guy harbored so much darkness within him. He'd only just been tainted by it, and he'd already set his sights on my position? Luckily, I had a backup plan, otherwise..."

The demon god muttered to himself, looking relaxed.

Clearly, he is now extremely wary of Ron, who has acquired new powers, which may mean that Ron, with his new powers, could actually defeat him!

That's exactly what happened.

The so-called demon god is just a self-proclaimed title. He has not truly regained his power as a demon god. His ability to defeat Jumang and corrupt the temple of gods above was achieved through clever manipulation, not through his own power.

Even so, after most of the legendary mythical beasts, hailed as 'gods,' fell into slumber and perished, the Demon God was still able to wreak havoc on the entire mythical beast continent.

The premise is... that those despicable phantom beast warriors don't come to stop him.

"However, this is not bad either."

The demon god couldn't help but laugh when he thought of Ron's unruly manner:

"The two Phantom Beast Warriors have already tainted me with the power of darkness, and one of them... is more likely to be the chosen representative of the Stabilizer."

"If I can corrupt the remaining Phantom Beast Warriors with darkness, then this Phantom Beast Continent, and even the human world, will not be beyond my reach!"

"Hehe, Jumang...you agree, right?"

As the demon spoke, he looked down at Jumang, who was bound below.

But Jumang remained motionless, as if he were dead.

Seeing this, the demon god found it boring and snorted:

"Hmph, I must have been stupid to talk to an empty shell..."

After he finished speaking, he said no more. The black energy that had gathered suddenly dispersed and merged into the chains.

Then the entire Guardian Temple fell into silence and tranquility.
