He became the White-Haired Evil God after wearing the Seven Curses Rings.

Atoris.

The emperor of the Oto Empire.

They are also the guardians of the Aodu Empire.

They protected the Aodu Empire for nearly three hundred years.

Under his leadership, the Audu Empire defeated countless powerful enemies and crises.

It is the spiritual belief that the Aodu Empire has upheld for three hundred years.

A living totem.

At this moment, Atoris was sitting facing a man.

【Hermann lv.90】

"Although I had heard that the Golden Dragon was made by hunting a dragon, it still felt a bit unbelievable after seeing it with my own eyes."

Hermann, like a guest from afar, leisurely savored his tea and snacks.

Atoris's gaze was extremely cold as he bluntly questioned Herman.

"So what are you doing here now? Do you want to fight me?"

Upon hearing this, Hermann waved his hands repeatedly.

"No, no, I'm just a civil official, not skilled in martial arts. It's better to ask Julius for a fight."

Atoris seemed a little impatient.

"Then what brings you to see me? Is it merely to torment me?"

Faced with Atoris's questioning, Herman no longer tried to hide his true feelings.

"I'm here simply to discuss a condition with Your Majesty."

Artoris frowned slightly.

"What are the conditions?"

At this point, Hermann took out a contract.

"I've heard that Your Majesty's days are numbered. If Your Majesty is willing to donate your future remains to the Chaos Cult, I will leave with the Void Insects. What do you say?"

Seeing that Atoris did not react, Herman continued to add.

"To merely promise a future body in exchange for present peace—that shouldn't have any impact on Your Majesty, should it?"

After a long time.

Seeing that Atoris's expression remained unchanged, Herman smiled knowingly.

"Since Your Majesty is unwilling, then I should not linger here any longer."

After saying that, Herman went outside the deck and boarded a Voidfly to leave the Golden Dragon.

After Hermann left, a figure emerged from the shadows.

"Your Majesty, are we just going to let him go like this?"

Upon seeing that the visitor was Roland, Atoris slowly spoke.

"The Chaos Cult members are spouting wild words. I was just thinking about how to catch them off guard and kill them, but the Chaos Cult members are mostly cunning."

He was able to arrive here so unguarded; he must be hiding something. Considering the safety of the empire, I cannot reveal my hand yet.

Roland sighed after hearing Artorias's guess.

"Alas, the Chaos Sect, I don't know what methods they used, actually managed to control the Void Insect Nest."

The Void Clan was supposed to begin their operation tomorrow, but they caught us completely off guard today.

Roland then found a chair, sat down, and began to report on the current situation.

"All the Titan-class mechanical guards in Carlos Sri Lanka have now been deployed to the front lines to halt the Zerg offensive, but the Zerg's attack is simply too fierce."

Those mechanical guards basically have no chance to be repaired; we'll probably need to summon alchemists to personally guard them.

"In addition, as the chaos outside intensified, many speculators in the city began to stir, and rumors spread like wildfire, causing panic among the people in the city."

"However, there is good news. According to my observation, the Empire's second crisis point has been resolved. Now we only need to focus on dealing with the Voidlings."

After listening to Roland's report, Atoris thought for a while and then spoke.

"I will issue an order shortly to summon all the alchemists in the city to provide support to the mechanical guards. As for those opportunists..."

Artoris sneered.

"Hmph... I will order the Imperial Guards to cooperate with you. Remember, none of these parasites of the Empire can be spared, especially at this critical juncture."

Roland bowed slightly.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Just as Roland was about to get up and leave, Atoris suddenly called him back.

"By the way, any news from the commander-in-chief?"

Roland turned around and replied.

"Three more days."

……

Void Hive.

Herman had already entered the hive aboard a Voidfly.

At this moment, Hermann was still making plans.

"As expected, that emperor won't succeed so easily. It seems I need to find some time to go back and ask Julius for help."

"The next offensive needs to be doubled. We must take down the tough nut of Carlo Sri Lanka before we can bring down the entire Audu Empire."

"Sigh, if the ritual hadn't gone wrong back then, the Void Hive would have multiplied to a terrifying level long ago, and I wouldn't have needed to do it myself."

With that, Herman got off the Voidfly.

Upon hitting the ground, a sudden change occurred.

The Voidfly, which had been obeying commands, suddenly placed its scythe-shaped forelegs on Herman's neck.

Not only that, even the other Voidlings waiting around all turned to look at Herman, their bright purple eyes revealing their full hostility.

"What happened? Has the control ritual failed?"

Herman was immediately at a loss.

Just as he was preparing to instantly kill the surrounding Void Insectoids and quickly escape from this place.

The surrounding Voidlings made way for them.

A mysterious figure appeared before him.

He was a fit and muscular man wearing a grey vintage tailcoat.

The oppressive aura emanating from him made even Herman, who had lived for two hundred years, tremble.

"Who...who are you? Are these Voidlings under your control?"

The enormous man approached Herman and looked at him as if he were a weak insect.

"The Voidlings are the servants of our Lord. When did they become subjects of an outsider like you?"

Voidlings...are they a kindred spirit?

No, which lunatic would consider the Voidlings as their allies?

It should be noted that the void has been in chaos for tens of millions of years, and has always been in a state of being uncontrolled.

None of the void creatures that could come to the mortal world from within are comprehensible beings.

The Void Zerg are the most chaotic race among the Void creatures.

Only through forceful control can the Voidlings be made to obey for a short period of time.

Now you're telling him that the Voidlings are actually someone's kin?

Nobody would believe that!

If he could become a member of the Voidlings, he would have already performed the alteration ceremony to bring them into his own ranks.

However, due to the circumstances, Hermann did not express any dissatisfaction.

Having been a seasoned member of the Chaos Cult for over a hundred years, Herman knew all too well that there were always people more capable than oneself.

Therefore, he usually keeps a low profile to avoid causing trouble.

Even during their meeting with Atoris, he joked and left as soon as he noticed something was off about the other party.

Now that he has been captured by this unfathomable man, he must not show any arrogance.

As the saying goes, those who understand the times are the heroes.

Hermann now doesn't believe what the other person is saying.

But that didn't stop him from continuing.

"My lord, I was blind and foolish enough to have strayed into the Void Insects' territory. I beg you to show mercy and spare my life."

Seeing Herman kneeling on the ground begging for mercy, the gray-clad man frowned and gave her a look of disdain.

In Thanatos's dark eyes, he clearly saw every crime the other had committed.

Torture, deception, patricide, human experimentation, instigating wars...

There is also a fetish for young girls.

Countless, they are simply scum who will do anything for profit.

"You...you're disgusting."

Before Herman could say anything, the man in gray looked behind him and spoke.

"My lord, what should we do?"

Almost at the same time, Herman suddenly sensed another presence behind him.

"Wh...when?!"

The sudden turn of events sent a chill down Hermann's spine.

It was different from what I had expected.

The voice coming from behind was that of a young girl.

It sounds very delicate, yet it still sends chills down your spine.

"Thanatos, just bury that kind of person. He makes me sick."

Herman: "?"
