Monster Girl Development Master.

[Bloodline confirmed, purification begins...]

[Removal of contaminated blood vessels...Removal complete]

[Absorbing the power of relics... Adjusting form according to bloodline... Importing and selecting bloodline...]

[Remote connection detected... disconnected]

[Residual Behemoth bloodline detected, fusing and absorbing...]

After a series of actions similar to those used to purify the snow bear's lair at the gate of Deherim City, Zhuang Sen obtained a monster girl's lair.

【Shadow Lizard Nest - Pure Purification: The Shadow Lizard's Barracks】

【Purified from the "Snow Bear's Nest," this evolutionary nest, free from the pollution and distortion caused by inferior methods and outdated technology, was created by introducing pure Shadow Lizard bloodline, while retaining the relics [Pure Purification] and some of the power of the [Behemoth] bloodline.】

【Unique Ability - Shadow Dance: All shadow-related effects within the nest's influence area are enhanced】

[Production: One beginner Shadow Lizard can be provided every fifteen days]

[Self-recruitment: Provide materials with mimicry abilities, 2800 ml of Johnson's Blood or 280 ml of Johnson's Essence, and you can recruit a Shadow Lizard]

[Special Effect: Can absorb the bloodline power of corresponding species (Reptile, Behemoth, Beastman, Dark) and transform it into the Shadow Lizard bloodline]

[Sacred Separation, Pure Purification—]

The only difference is probably the Snow Bear Queen this time. Unlike Behemoth, she wasn't transformed into a Behemoth lizard girl. Instead, she quietly disappeared, leaving only a soft whisper: "Darling, don't keep me waiting too long~"

Having already planned to send Bessie's sisters back to their hometown, Zhuang Sen could only scratch his head and fly to the location of the next snow bear den.

Next, he acquired the following nests: [Watermelon Girl's Nest], [Rockhound Girl's Nest], [Crystal Girl's Nest], [Poisonous Slime's Nest], [Cow Girl's Nest], [Goblin King's Nest], [Poisonous Lamia's Nest], [Fire Elemental's Nest], [Rafflesia Girl's Nest], [Corpse Demon's Nest], [Griffin's Nest], [Giant Goblin's Nest], [Harpy's Nest], [Vampire's Nest], and [Little Devil's Nest]—a total of sixteen!

Aside from consuming a portion of the bloodline he hadn't had time to cultivate, he didn't spend a single penny—he truly had to thank the people of Baicheng for their generosity!

The only pity is that Dragonbone Duke is here, along with the ancient monsters of the Sea Emperor's Court. We can't just summon these monster girls for a kiss, hug, and lift them up high right now. But it shouldn't be long. The situation is already this chaotic; surely the ancient monsters of the Sea Emperor's Court won't tolerate this any longer? Even if they're like Ninja Turtles, they should be out here to grab the "pizza" by now. Unless they've been here for so long and still haven't figured out where the artifact is, but that's highly unlikely. Brad has only been active in the Fallen Star Kingdom for a short time, yet he knows the artifact is in the Fallen Star Palace.

Don't keep me waiting too long.

Zhuang Sen glanced at Dragon Bone Duke, who was still pretending to be a level three bloodline user and mowing down enemies among the White City mercenaries, his eyes flickered, and then returned to Missy's side.

……

The palace of Neptune was completely silent.

The Sea King's Palace was as eerily quiet as it had been when the sixteen pillars of light illuminated simultaneously; the contrast only amplified the desolation and pathos. Esther's tiny, beady eyes gleamed with anger and shame as she stared intently at a thin man with a blue shawl beside her: "Didn't you say that the Snow Bear Queen's control over the Snow Bear's Heart was absolute? Why was that Fallen Star brat still able to steal them away?!"

The man in the blue shawl was sweating profusely, his hands twisting together in fear, and he said tremblingly, "Well, perhaps the [Heart of the Snow Bear Queen] isn't finished yet. Please, please give me another one—"

The headless man fell backward, blood splattering everywhere, including on the faces of those standing around him. No one dared to flinch, for no one dared to anger Esther at this moment. Not only were they no match for her, but they also needed her to deal with Johnson. They were all well aware of the policies Johnson had implemented in their territory, and, bluntly speaking, they would rather fight to the death than accept Johnson's excessive demands!

Forcing them to compete with the lowest castes, forbidding them from monopolizing markets, and demanding they pay full taxes on time? Absolutely not!

They couldn't come up with any good solutions and could only remain silent. Esther closed her eyes helplessly, then casually pointed to a blue shawl: "You, yes, you, what's the status of the [Heart of the Snow Bear Queen] now? Is it ready for use?"

The mermaid was stunned for a moment, thinking she had been exposed, before realizing that Esther had really just pointed casually. Fortunately, in this situation, her stunned expression was only taken as nervousness and fear, and did not cause any misunderstanding. She quickly put on an act, stammering, "M-My lord, it should be able to be activated and used now. The chief's previous test data indicates..."

Esther raised her hand to interrupt her stammering statement: "In other words, it's usable now. Give it to me."

The mermaid, outwardly trembling, took the rhombus-shaped crystal and handed it to Esther, inwardly overjoyed. That fat whale was finally going to be gone! As soon as she left, she'd grab the artifact and the "blood of the gods" and run! Let that fat whale fight those stinking foreign monsters to the death!

Esther paid no attention to what the ordinary female scholar was thinking. Her mind was now solely focused on how to deal with Zhuang Sen's attack, and the only solution seemed to be in her hands. If she could successfully summon the Snow Bear Queen, a being with level five bloodline strength, she was fully confident she could handle a two-on-three situation! Furthermore, if the [Heart of the Snow Bear Queen] was truly successful, then, assuming the Sea King's Palace was safe, she could create even more [Hearts of the Snow Bear Queen], enabling her to fight three against three, or even four against three!

Having made up her mind, Esther turned and walked towards the plaza outside the Sea King's palace. Without hesitation, she activated the rhombus-shaped crystal in her hand, sacrificing the lives of hundreds of servants. An unimaginable surge of violent energy erupted instantly, crushing her beloved, exquisitely designed front courtyard into ruins, and even freezing the surrounding sea into an ice field. But Esther felt no pity; instead, her face was filled with ecstatic joy!

The Snow Bear Queen, who emerged from the light, displayed a power that even she found astonishing!

—Johnson Leon, I'm here to kill you!

Chapter 309: The Wrath of Leviathan

Esther, full of pride, waved her large, fat hand, as thick as a radish: "Go! Queen, wipe out all the enemies!"

The second unique feature of the [Snow Bear Queen's Heart] compared to the ordinary [Snow Bear's Heart] is that the summoned creature has no restrictions on its range of movement, can move freely, and can even communicate remotely with the holder!

The Snow Bear Queen, strikingly similar to Besh, glanced at Esther. As a chill ran through Esther, the Snow Bear Queen nonchalantly sped away, hundreds of ferocious white bears silently following behind, the distance between them growing ever wider. Esther quickly forgot the feeling of that glance, attributing it to the Snow Bear Queen's icy aura as an illusion, and continued to observe the movements of White City in the distance. Once the Snow Bear Queen arrived, if Zhuang Sen didn't want his soldiers to all die, he would inevitably have to deploy level five bloodline warriors, and then it would be her turn to launch a sneak attack!

However, she wouldn't go to the front lines herself before that. She hadn't yet determined how many level-five bloodline users Zhuang Sen had, and she preferred to ambush from the shadows rather than fight openly. So she decided to give the first shot to the Snow Bear Queen, since it didn't matter if she died.

The Snow Bear Queen's actions were quickly discovered, mainly because the activation of the [Snow Bear Queen's Heart] was too obvious; even from a considerable distance, it was difficult to miss. However, Zhuang Sen wasn't worried and had no intention of immediately flying over to convert the new lair—if the progress was pushed too fast, the Dragon Bone Duke and the ancient monsters of the Sea Emperor's Court would be difficult to deal with.

Moreover, the Snow Bear Queen rushing towards them couldn't be ignored; even bloodline soldiers were no match for her. Dragonbone Duke certainly wouldn't intervene, so it was simply a matter of...

"Let me do it, darling."

Missy opened the [Shared Book] in her hand, and under the wide-brimmed witch's hat, her intelligent and pretty face smiled gently: "It's just the right time for me to test the level of the White City people's technology, although I think they are just simply wasting the power of the artifact."

Zhuang Sen nodded in agreement, put his right arm around Missy's slender waist, and laughed, "Then let me take you there. I want to enjoy watching my little fairy's fighting style."

Missy's beautiful eyes glistened slightly as she playfully scolded, "No wonder Mira fell for him so quickly, you really are a playboy."

"You haven't succumbed yet? That's really..."

"Humph~"

The two flirted and teased each other as they flew into the sky, sending a message to Longgu Gong, who was still blasting fish at the fishpond, warning him to be on high alert. Amidst the chaotic battlefield, only Zero remained silent, relentlessly exploiting Zhuang Sen.

……

At the west gate of White City, the Snow Bear Queen, who had been rushing towards them, slowed down and looked at Zhuang Sen and Missy, who were blocking the city gate. She was mainly looking at Zhuang Sen. Missy was very familiar with that gaze that seemed to want to stick to Zhuang Sen. She nudged Zhuang Sen jealously and said, "Darling, you really are very charming."

“After all, he’s the man the wise Lady Missy has taken a liking to,” Zhuang Sen said with a smile. “But you’ve oversimplified things this time. This beautiful, aloof lady, like a snow-capped mountain, may like me, but the fat old woman who controls her clearly has no intention of satisfying her needs—so, you shrewd businessman from White City.”

Simple insults, ultimate enjoyment.

Esther, observing Zhuang Sen through the Snow Bear Queen, was red-faced with anger and very curious about how Zhuang Sen could see that she was controlling the Snow Bear Queen. So, in a state of provocation, she retorted: "Aha, I thought that the dignified Prince Zhuang Sen would be a brave and wise man. I didn't expect that he was just a glib and narcissistic maniac. If I had known that you liked this kind of person, Missy, I would have given you a few more court jesters. That way, at least you wouldn't have to share one with other women... Oh, why don't I see that Pope of the Church of the Furies? Could it be that you broke up with him because you fell in love with someone else, Prince Zhuang Sen? That would be a real shame."

Faced with Esther's long-winded speech, Johnson simply smiled at Missy and pointed his right thumb backwards: "See, she's getting anxious."

Of course, Johnson wouldn't tell Esther that his judgment that the Snow Bear Queen was controlled by an outsider stemmed from the fact that when the Snow Bear Queen saw him, she didn't pounce on him to force herself on him, especially considering that her eyes had already conveyed that intention, yet she didn't actually do so. However, it seemed that while that old fat woman Esther could command the Snow Bear Queen and even share her senses, she couldn't read her thoughts; otherwise, she wouldn't have needed to ask.

Unlike Johnson, who still had the leisure to think about technical issues, Esther was completely enraged. She roared, "Go! Kill them!"

The Snow Bear Queen reluctantly raised her hand, and two fist-shaped gloves resembling bear claws slowly emerged from her crystal-clear, snow-sculpted palm. They looked somewhat cute, but the cold glint on them and the dangerous aura that followed indicated that they were not plush toys.

"It seems your charm still can't win over this extraordinary woman." Missy took a step forward, opened the [Shared Book] in her hand, and instantly the pages flew up, blocking the leaping Snow Bear Queen and unleashing attacks of various attributes.

"After all, given the appearance of our [miserly old fat woman], she probably prefers upright-walking fat pigs, perhaps even pure gold ones." Zhuang Sen said leisurely, but the two extra pairs of wings on his back, clearly indicating a state of alertness, made Esther, who had originally intended to involve Zhuang Sen and Missy in the battle and then launch a sneak attack, quite displeased.

“You’re mistaken, my dear.” Missy casually dodged the heavy blow from the Snow Bear Queen. Countless metallic vines sprang from the leaves she left behind, wrapping around the Snow Bear Queen, but were frozen by the frosty mist in the next moment, shattering into pieces of ice crystals that flew back towards Missy.

Missy raised the [Shared Book] in her hand again, and two pages flew out, releasing two mirrors. One reflected the ice crystals, and the other reflected the Snow Bear Queen's appearance, creating a black and white faded clone that blocked the Snow Bear Queen's way: "Our old fat woman is not only stingy, but also greedy, extravagant, and despicable. So a pure gold fat pig won't do. I think it would have to be a fat pig that can give birth to ten little golden pigs every day, that can hold her, and that can help her carry out her schemes... Oh dear, this seems to be her. No wonder she said, 'Darling, you're narcissistic.' So this is what she is like. I really don't know what her husband was thinking when he was with her back then, but I think he must have been forced. After all these years, they haven't had any children."

"Enough!"

Snap—

The cloned Snow Bear Queen was punched into a hole, which could connect to the fragments of the Kamen Rider Ryuki theme song. Unfortunately, all that followed was Esther's roar as her defenses were completely broken, and a tsunami tens of meters high!

Chapter 310: The Sea Emperor's Triple Star

Esther was genuinely upset by what she heard, because she actually had a very good relationship with her husband.

She wasn't always this exaggeratedly large; she was even a beauty. But as her bloodline development accelerated, her size ballooned rapidly, like an inflating balloon. Just like Dantalian, who started as a two-meter-tall figure, is now a super-sized three-meter-tall one. However, monster girls always strive for beauty and attractiveness; Dantalian always maintains a sexy and alluring figure, while Esther's [Leviathan] is "fully developed." As a result, her husband soon found it difficult to consummate their marriage, and she eventually died in despair.

Since then, Esther has not sought out any other men. Given her size, it would be difficult for her to find a suitable man. Therefore, the matter of her husband was indeed her mental weakness, and Johnson and Missy's verbal attacks precisely broke through her defenses.

Of course, Esther wasn't completely blinded by greed. Given the current situation, she no longer needed to hide. There was no significant difference in skill between the Snow Bear Queen and Misty, at least not enough to force Johnson to attack. Johnson had also clearly remained vigilant, making a sneak attack impossible. Furthermore, she hadn't seen Dantalian Leon, as mentioned in the intelligence, so it was highly likely he hadn't arrived. Therefore, there was no need for her to wait any longer; she could simply crush the adulterous couple head-on!

Therefore, the massive tsunami occurred.

"That's really exaggerated. There's definitely a reason why the venue has an advantage."

Zhuang Sen stared in astonishment at the colossal wave that seemed to reach the sky and block out the sun. If Esther could freely use attacks of this scale, her combat power would be far greater than Zhuang Sen had anticipated. Although this move posed little threat to him—the tsunami was too slow to catch him—even the Holy Lance couldn't evaporate such a massive wave. After all, the Holy Lance Angel specialized in single-target combat, not large-scale attacks.

So let's leave it to the all-powerful [Book Demon]. After all, even if we don't save the people of Baicheng, we still need to save Zhuang Sen's army that they brought this time.

Zhuang Sen flashed into the fray, easily catching the Snow Bear Queen's fist. He even squeezed the bear paw gauntlets on her hand; they were soft, furry, and warm, feeling just like real bear paws. The Snow Bear Queen's face, as cold as an iceberg lotus, flushed slightly. She kicked at Zhuang Sen with her right foot, the bone-chilling cold reaching his groin first, only to vanish without a trace after being swept away by the holy light. Without the chill, Zhuang Sen easily grabbed the Snow Bear Queen's exquisite bare foot again. Despite rushing all the way, the white and pink soles were spotless, only possessing an alluring pinkish luster. When Zhuang Sen's large hand grasped and stroked them, her arches subconsciously tensed, and her five toes turned a rosy red, like the blushing face of a shy maiden.

Esther was practically bursting with rage: "Johnson Leon! You—"

"Quiet down, I'm busy," Zhuang Sen interrupted the spellcasting. "Shouldn't you be focusing on your tsunami right now?"

Esther then realized that the tsunami she had stirred up had not yet subsided after so long—of course, it was Missy's doing!

After exchanging opponents with Zhuang Sen, Missy unleashed her full power, sending countless pages flying out to completely surround White City. Especially on the seaside of White City, each page seemed extremely fragile in the face of the tsunami. However, when they all shone with the brilliance of the same ability, even the massive waves tens of meters high crashing down could not shake this seemingly endless wall of sighs! Although the abilities simulated by both the [Book Demon] and the professional are much weaker than the originals, unlike the professional who has a cooldown period, the [Book Demon] can stack its abilities, just like now.

This silenced Esther. Missy's strength had exceeded her expectations; Missy had never been this strong before!

However, she remained silent. The people of White City, on the other hand, did not. Anyone in the city who wasn't blind could have seen such a massive tsunami. Moreover, as coastal residents, they were even more aware of the power of such a tsunami. They didn't know if Zhuang Senjun would die once it hit, but they were certain to die! Therefore, when Missy intervened and blocked the tsunami, they felt genuine relief and gratitude, and developed an extreme resentment towards Esther.

The resistance within White City had been quite fierce, but after the tsunami, its intensity diminished considerably. Dragonbone Duke couldn't find anyone he could reasonably behead, so he could only order his men to take in the surrendered prisoners and turn his attention outside. He naturally saw the tsunami and was quite surprised. Such a powerful attack was unlike that of an ordinary bloodline user. It seemed that, like the Titan King, his bloodline had been replenished by the artifact, and he had stolen the power of the Ocean Goddess.

Moreover, the woman Zhuang Sen lured was actually able to withstand this move, which means she must have stolen the power of the Goddess of Wisdom through the artifact. No wonder she was able to defeat the True Blood Duke. I just wonder if she and the Thousand Transformations Duke can hold out.

……

Is this huge, fat whale able to hold on?

The Sea Queen Mermaid muttered to herself, somewhat worried. She had been using her abilities to observe the battle near White City through the omnipresent seawater. The Snow Bear Queen's power filled her with covetousness, and she couldn't wait to take the artifact home to create new monsters. However, Esther hadn't left the Sea King's Palace yet, and she dared not act rashly. She did possess [Water Teleportation], but teleportation left traces, and [Leviathan], being of the same water attribute bloodline, could track her. Moreover, she needed to obtain the artifact before she could teleport away, and the artifact's shrinking process took time. She dared not gamble on whether Esther would discover her actions below, so she could only continue waiting.

During this wait, she witnessed Missy easily defeating the tsunami and Zhuang Sen teasing the Cold Snow Bear—no, are you even human?

Even as a mermaid queen, an ancient demon, she wouldn't dare claim she could so easily stop the massive tsunami unleashed by Esther. What makes you think you can? Although the tsunami was just an appetizer, the mermaid queen's eyesight was sharp enough to see that the Wailing Wall hadn't reached its limit. In other words, that woman was actually stronger than her? And that man—how did he manage to turn a serious, dangerous close-quarters combat into something like flirting?

The Snow Bear Queen was summoned from the Sea King's Palace, and the Sea King Mermaid naturally sensed the Snow Bear Queen's dangerous aura. She thought that the Snow Bear Queen was at least on par with her, but it turned out that... no, these two guys are probably not human, but those ancient monsters from other places!

Moreover, judging by her strength, she's definitely a powerful figure with divine seals, perhaps even several! Unlike her, a nobody without a single divine seal. However, if they continue like this, that fat whale Esther might back down, and they'll lose the divine artifact they've ordered.

No, we need a more radical plan.

The Sea King Mermaid stepped back, avoiding the gazes of the others. Blue patterns appeared on both sides of her cheeks, and an unnoticed burst of high-frequency sound waves instantly erupted, penetrating the barrier of the Crystal Palace and spreading rapidly along the seawater, reaching a bottomless trench.

In the trench, two enormous soft-bodied creatures, one white and one red, slowly opened their numerous eyes, instantly transforming the dark trench into a starry sky, twinkling with countless stars. And behind the night, a galaxy of countless shooting stars moved—no, those weren't shooting stars, but—tentacles!

They are the two remaining members of the Sea Emperor's Court: the ancient monster Kraken, who holds the title of Duke of the Deep Sea, and the ancient monster Giant Octopus. Together with the ancient monster Sea Emperor Mermaid, they form the Sea Emperor's Court Triad!

Attack!

Chapter 311: The Advantage Lies With Me

The Sea King Mermaid's plan was simple—not to mobilize her entire family and fight Zhuang Sen head-on, of course—but to secretly help Esther. Esther was currently too weak to leave the Sea King's Palace. If the Mermaid could reassure Esther and allow her to leave, she could take the artifact with her. And she had already figured out how: she would help Esther create an even stronger, larger, and more powerful tsunami! This would make Esther believe that the other side was already exhausted, and that if she exerted more effort, got closer, and used her true power, she could achieve victory!

To truly help Esther, the best approach would be to create more "Hearts of the Snow Bear Queens." However, the Sea King Mermaid was certain that if a large number of "Hearts of the Snow Bear Queens" were produced, Esther, given her personality, would never go to the front lines with the Snow Bear Queens. Instead, she would stay here and wait for the war to end. Therefore, the Sea King Mermaid would not choose this seemingly less conspicuous, yet ultimately self-destructive, route!

Go to your death, you fat whale!
