Monster Girl Development Master.

With Zhuang Sen's current flying speed as the [Inherited Angel], he "visited" all the major cities of the White City Federation within a few days. The soldiers who arrived later, along with the monster girls born from the lair, easily stabilized the order in these cities. In this medieval-like era, the common people would not empathize with the lives and deaths of noble lords, especially in a loose alliance like the White City Federation that lacked national consciousness and identity. As long as the occupying forces did not carry out massacres, large-scale security conflicts would not break out.

Moreover, there are branches of the Church of Nemesis within the White City Federation. Faced with Zhuang Sen, a universally acknowledged favorite of Nemesis, the church members were unusually enthusiastic—after all, they all knew what had happened to the last person who didn't cooperate with Zhuang Sen. The combined effect of religious appeal and military deterrence significantly reduced the likelihood of unrest in the city.

As Zhuang Sen continued his activities, his image as a six-winged angel shrouded in holy light quickly spread throughout the entire White City Federation. Along with this, a series of new titles were born: King of Divine Punishment, King of Judgment, King of Arbitration, King of Angels, Holy King, King of Destruction... Behind each title was a bizarre story, either terrifying or legendary, which made his image even more mysterious and unpredictable.

After this lightning-fast conquest, whether it was the territories that had originally relied on the support of the Kingdom of Winter and maintained a tough stance, the stubborn elements near the Gomulus defense line who declared "I would rather surrender to Baroo than submit to the evil Johnson," or the scattered territories that were waiting for a better price, or even the forces that outwardly submitted but secretly harbored rebellious intentions, all of them obediently chose to surrender unconditionally in this cleansing that subverted the traditional logic of war.

They relinquished all power and status, becoming ordinary civilians, and their territories were placed under the management of monster girls. The previous chaotic, inconsistent, and even conflicting laws were completely abolished and replaced with new laws that had been operating smoothly in Leon and Prince Zhuangsen's territories for a long time. The effects of this change were immediate: lower taxes eased the burden on the people, debt write-offs removed the economic shackles on the lower classes, new jobs solved the employment problem, and legal fairness dispelled long-standing judicial darkness. These four measures alone greatly increased the goodwill of the lower classes who had initially harbored instinctive resistance towards Zhuangsen, this outsider, and they began to genuinely support this new ruler.

As for those old nobles and lords who attempted to incite the populace to retaliate based on their familiarity with the local area, Zhuang Sen had already taken action: those with superior bloodline qualities were imprisoned and used as "studs" to contribute to population optimization, or even made available to meritorious soldiers and civilians, generating revenue while improving population quality; those with mediocre bloodline qualities were executed directly, their bloodline essence converted into warm bloodline essence to replenish the consumption of creating nests. This series of actions further strengthened the local people's support for Zhuang Sen—after all, whether Zhuang Sen would persecute them was still unknown, but the oppression by these nobles and landowners was a real thing in the past.

During the conquest and consolidation of territories, an interesting incident occurred: the Kingdom of Winter and the Kingdom of High Mountains consistently sent letters to Zhuang Sen, criticizing his actions. Initially, the letters were few in number but harsh in language, filled with accusations and threats; in the middle period, the number surged and criticisms intensified, as if they wanted to drown out Zhuang Sen's expansion; in the later period, the number decreased sharply, and the tone became unusually friendly, even bordering on ingratiating. The Kingdom of Winter, in particular, not only never mentioned the secret national treasure but even offered to send a representative to the coronation ceremony, adopting an extremely humble stance.

However, the more the other party showed goodwill, the more convinced Zhuang Sen became that they hadn't given up their conspiracy, but were instead planning something even bigger. This was because Grand Duke Star was still frequently mobilizing troops, and the unrest along the border never ceased; the High Mountain Kingdom began publicizing border skirmishes with the Falling Star Kingdom, creating a tense atmosphere; more importantly, Baroo transmitted crucial intelligence to Zhuang Sen: "Zhuang Sen, they plan to make their move during your coronation ceremony. I'll arrange for their people to be present to facilitate preparations, but according to those people, I won't be the only one making a move."

It seems the Chosen Ones did indeed consider the monster girls around Zhuang Sen and prepared countermeasures in advance. They were more impatient than Zhuang Sen had anticipated, perhaps because his high-profile expansion had made them feel threatened. However, the Chosen Ones' choice to act during the coronation ceremony clearly indicated that they had contacted more than just Baroo's forces. But this was actually a good thing for Zhuang Sen—there was no easier solution than wiping out all his enemies in one fell swoop.

Amidst the intensive preparations, territory integration is progressing steadily, the city is gradually recovering its vitality, and the details of the coronation ceremony are being finalized under the management of the monster girls. Beneath the calm surface, the undercurrents of various forces are surging.

Finally, the day scheduled for the coronation ceremony quietly arrived.

Chapter 324: The Coronation Ceremony (Part 1)

The weather was perfect today, without the usual humid heat of late spring and early summer. This was thanks to the combined efforts of the Octopus Girl, Kraken Girl, and Rafflesia Girl, who used their celestial manipulation abilities to create this clear, sunny, and pleasantly fragrant weather. Bright sunlight shone on the newly renovated Sea King's Palace—now, it should be called the Holy King's Palace. During the previous great battle, the sudden attack by the Sea King Mermaid and Esther's enormous true form had caused significant damage to this beautiful palace. Afterwards, Beshi, Nia, and Glorin, these monster girls skilled in construction, simply renovated and rebuilt it entirely as Johnson's royal palace.

The main reason is that aquatic monster girls don't like land, so the Sea King's Palace is a perfect place to house Zhuang Sen's ever-growing harem. Moreover, the location of the Sea King's Palace is convenient for the upcoming battles, and will not affect the city and its civilians.

The renovated Holy King's Palace is completely different from before. The pure white and blue have been transformed into a myriad of colors, intertwined and dazzling, extremely magnificent. Under the control of monster girls such as Mira, Missy, and Lady Lia, these chaotic colors do not appear disorderly. On the contrary, they are perfectly integrated into the white that Zhuang Sen personally applied, giving one the impression at a glance that white reigns supreme and controls all other colors.

To Zhuang Sen and the monster girls, this was both a playful jab and a promise of affection. But to the guests crossing the golden bridge connecting White City and the Sea King's Palace to witness the ceremony, it became a dangerous signal. Pure white, whether in the context of White City or the impression Zhuang Sen currently projected, represented his newly established nation. Therefore, the other colors naturally referred to other countries—truly ambitious! He didn't even bother to hide it!

With so many colors, it's hard to miss the representative colors of other countries. For example, the Falling Star Kingdom has blue and yellow, the High Mountain Kingdom has red and green, the Thousand Towers Kingdom has purple and black, and the Winter Kingdom does have white, but as a small country whose king only has a level four bloodline, no one takes him too seriously. As for other small countries, and the Holy Kingdom, whose own representative colors are also very vibrant, there's naturally not much to say.

Finally, the king of the High Mountain Kingdom, a middle-aged man with fiery red hair and a long beard, snorted and said sarcastically, "This aesthetic is truly worthy of a prince of the Falling Star Kingdom; it's as colorful as the stars at night."

Baro glanced sideways at the Mountain King, who was also his brother-in-law, and said bluntly, "It's better than you guys liking to wear green hats on your heads, isn't it?"

King Gaoshan glared, about to erupt. He was, of course, of the Red Dragon bloodline, and Red Dragons were known for their bad tempers; such an outburst was perfectly understandable. The old king of the Thousand Towers Kingdom quickly intervened, trying to smooth things over: "Gentlemen, gentlemen, there's no need to argue over such a trivial matter." But King Gaoshan showed no mercy, retorting, "Who do you think you are? Let Lady Missy speak to me!"

Even with his old face, King Qianta couldn't help but look displeased after being scolded like this by King Gaoshan in front of so many kings and high-ranking officials. He was filled with resentment. Although it was indeed agreed beforehand that they would pretend to be at odds with the various countries, this was far too hurtful! Once the plan succeeded, he would definitely obtain the sealing method for the Red Dragon bloodline and teach this bastard a lesson! But no matter how angry King Qianta was, he was effectively silenced by the rebuke. King Gaoshan became even more arrogant and even looked at Baro with renewed provocation.

At that moment, a cold, stern voice came from ahead: "Please do not disrupt the order of the scene, sir."

King Gaoshan turned his head impatiently, his mouth still taunting him with a sarcastic tone: "What, you've given yourself such a grand name as the Holy Demon Kingdom, yet you won't even allow your guests to say a word—"

A strong sense of danger made King Gaoshan instinctively listen up and look seriously at the two people approaching. One wore a long purple robe and a large witch's hat on her head, but below her hips was a large book, eerie and mysterious; the other wore a simple nun's robe and a papal crown, but below her hips were not normal legs, but a tail wrapped in black veil. Most importantly, both of them exuded a strong aura, far more powerful than King Gaoshan's, making him lose all courage to continue his sarcastic remarks.

If you keep talking nonsense, I'll kill you—

From the gazes of those two women, King Gaoshan clearly sensed this warning.

At this moment, he understood even more deeply the necessity of eliminating Zhuang Sen. Two such loyal Level 5 bloodline individuals, coupled with the strength Zhuang Sen himself had displayed, already possessed the power to kill the king of any nation! No wonder everyone had joined the plan, even Baroo, who had offered his daughter in marriage, had agreed. From his own perspective, King Gaoshan had never believed in the supposed evil of the Chosen Ones, nor did he think others would, so he had always been worried about an internal traitor. But the appearance of Misty and Dantalian completely dispelled his doubts. Not to mention Zhuang Sen's blatant ambition, his current strength alone was enough to make all the other nations turn against him!

I will not rest in peace until you are dead!

Of course, just like when King Thousand Towers faced him before, no matter how much inner turmoil King was experiencing, he was actually too frightened to speak, remaining silent for a long time. King Thousand Towers had at least managed to finish a complete sentence, but he was paralyzed with fear halfway through. His own men were alright, but the higher-ups of the Falling Star Kingdom and the Thousand Towers Kingdom laughed without any courtesy. Especially the Thousand Towers Kingdom; they never considered King Thousand Towers a representative, Speaker Missy was their eternal leader!

King Gaoshan was burning with rage, his red eyes even showing a tendency to turn into vertical pupils, but Dantalian merely glanced at him casually, her icy aura suppressing his anger, making Dantalian shake her head inwardly—she was not as good as Celine, at least Celine dared to lay a hand on her, especially when she snatched Zhuang Sen.

“Please follow us, distinguished guests.” Missy lowered her hat brim slightly, breaking the silence. “The ceremony is ready and will begin once the sun is in the right position. However, please leave your weapons outside.”

King Winter wanted to cause trouble as planned, but Dantalian's calm gaze flickered slightly, and he obediently took off the sword from his waist and handed it to Lamia, who was walking forward—wait?

The distinguished guests finally realized something was amiss. Missy and Dantalian's auras were so strong that they had overlooked the other "servants" who had appeared with them. But now, they saw that everyone was in their true bloodline form! Behind Dantalian were beings with human bodies and snake tails, just like her. Behind Missy, however, were beings with hands, feet, and faces made of flames, making it curious how they were dressed.

Where did all these people come from? Where did Zhuang Sen get so many subordinates who have awakened at least three times? And all of them are beauties like this!

Thinking of Zhuang Sen's most widely known and mentioned personality traits, many people, including Gao Shan Wang, were immediately filled with jealousy, their teeth aching and their eyes turning red with anger.

Zhuang Sen, you deserve to die!!!

However, Dantalian and Misty paid no attention to lowly figures like the Mountain King; their focus was secretly on the people sent by the Holy Kingdom. The reason Zhuang Sen had specifically arranged for the monster girls to appear, aside from the fact that there was no longer any need to hide them and to intimidate other nations, was primarily to test the reaction of the Chosen Ones. If these Chosen Ones were truly believers in the ancient monster girls, they would definitely react upon seeing them, or even if it was the opposite—they treated monster girls the same way they treated ancient monsters—then they should react to so many monster girls.

In fact, Missy and Dantalian did notice that several people were reacting strangely, though they couldn't quite tell what their attitudes were. But that's alright, this is just the beginning.

The two turned around and walked towards the other side of the Golden Bridge.

Chapter 325: The Coronation Ceremony - Part 2 (3142 words)

Led by Missy and Dantalian, the distinguished guests crossed the central line of the golden bridge and saw even more monster girls.

The dashing Griffin, clad in specially crafted full-body armor, soared through the sky, scattering beautiful petals. Her blend of bravery and grace both amazed and worried the distinguished guests. Many among them could fly and knew the importance of aerial superiority. And now, Zhuang Sen actually possessed an aerial force with at least a level three bloodline?

Before their surprise could subside, they saw the centaur women lining both sides of the road. Clad in full armor and wielding long spears, the neatly arrayed centaur women exuded an even more imposing aura. They raised their spears high, crossing them in mid-air to form sharp, imposing arches. The cold glint of their runic spears, seemingly softened by the sunlight, was all the more chilling. Compared to the indistinct griffins in the sky, these centaurs right before them conveyed a far more palpable sense of disciplined menace. Moreover, the centaur women outnumbered the griffins, and the power of their heavy cavalry far surpassed the aerial advantage that required even a bit of advanced vision to grasp!

Moreover, they've now come to their senses and discovered a crucial point they'd overlooked due to their previous shock—these are all Level 3 bloodline users!

In any country, even a religiously strong holy nation, these would be the absolute elite. Why would a count or bishop do such mundane welcoming duties? Furthermore, where did Zhuang Sen acquire so many level-three bloodline individuals before this? And this number seems to suggest they all share the same bloodline, and they all appear remarkably young!

The guests from various countries, realizing this, were somewhat disoriented. Even kings of smaller nations like the Winter King, who were aware of the plan, began to worry about its feasibility. Just how powerful was Zhuang Sen to be able to control so many bloodline holders and make them willingly do such "lowly" things…? As for the Mountain King and the Thousand Tower King, they had begun to believe the words of the chosen ones: Zhuang Sen must be an ancient, evil being, and these were all his minions!

There's no reason for it! How could a seventeen-year-old boy possess personal combat strength surpassing even the veteran powerhouse Esther, and cultivate so many loyal and incredibly powerful subordinates?! Is this reasonable? Is this fair? This is simply unacceptable, absolutely unacceptable!!!

Zhuang Sen must die!!!

Even Baro was shocked. He knew Zhuang Sen had secrets; he even knew that Celine had awakened her bloodline, and that the women around Zhuang Sen all possessed bloodlines, and at a high level—but what did it mean that bloodline users could form an army? Could this kid really be some ancient being from a bygone era…?

Missy and Dantalian, while feeling proud of Zhuang Sen as they watched the stunned guests, didn't forget to keep a close eye on the suspicious individuals whose reactions were becoming increasingly obvious, suggesting they might be chosen by the gods. Hmm, it's clear now that they don't harbor any goodwill towards the monster girls. Although they tried their best to hide it, the sheer number of monster girls had probably broken their guard. It was obvious that their shock masked a deep-seated hostility, as if they were facing a mortal enemy; their hands, hidden within the loose sleeves of their white robes, were clenched tightly.

Given the beauty and temperament of monster girls, especially since the ones appearing now are nature-friendly and heroic like Griffin and Centaur, normal people wouldn't feel any aversion. These people are definitely suspicious! I've decided, when we make our move later, I'll try not to kill these few. Although we now have Lydia, the [Death Lord], Mira, the [Daywalker], and even [Corpse Demon], [Ghost], and other monster girls with the ability to imprison and torture souls, living beings are still more useful.

Everyone gathered before the main gate of the Holy King's Palace. As they approached, the intricately carved bronze doors slowly swung open, like a colossal beast opening its arms to reveal a magnificent, ornately decorated hall behind them. The moment Misty and Dantalian stepped through the gates hand in hand, the two massive doors swung wide open, their heavy panels slamming against the walls with a dull thud. The doors were carved with countless abstract reliefs of demon girls, some poised for flight, others dwelling by the water, their lines fluid and mysterious, as if telling tales of ancient traditions.

Just then, a large swarm of bats hanging upside down from the crystal chandelier suddenly took flight with a whoosh, their dark wings leaving afterimages in the light, instantly attracting the attention of all the guests. These envoys, nobles, and church representatives from various countries involuntarily looked up, their gazes following the trajectory of the bats, passing through the crystal chandelier above the hall—the magic crystals embedded in the chandelier refracted seven-colored light, illuminating the entire hall as if in a dream.

Following the bats' flight path, the guests' gazes gradually turned towards the depths of the hall: the first thing that caught their eye was a long table piled high with golden-brown roasted monster meat, cream cakes adorned with berries, and brightly colored fruit platters—the sumptuous food almost overflowing the plates. Next to the long table stood several rows of wooden barrels, filled with brightly colored liquors, their rich aroma almost wafting out with the sight of them, clearly indicating they were filled with top-quality wines. Behind the long table, near the high platform deep within the hall, was a shimmering area that initially seemed like a swimming pool, but upon closer inspection, it turned out to be directly connected to the sea—octopus girls, Krakens, and other aquatic monster girls were soaking in the azure water, their gorgeous fishtail dresses enveloping their exquisite bodies, revealing only their delicate faces and shimmering skin. Several nimble tentacles and tentacles protruded from the water, deftly selecting the food and drinks offered by the maids, their movements elegant yet languid.

The swarm of bats continued flying forward, and the guests' gazes followed, finally settling on the high platform at the far end of the hall. The steps leading to the platform were already occupied by countless monster girls: a slime girl in a fluffy pink dress, a dog girl wagging her bushy tail, a cow girl with full breasts, a watermelon girl with a vibrant green vine, a wasp girl flapping her transparent wings, a centaur girl in human form, a griffin girl in griffin form, a Rafflesia girl exuding a rich fragrance… Like the aquatic monster girls, they wore magnificent, elegant, and graceful gowns, filling every step of the path to the platform. They gazed affectionately at Zhuang Sen, who sat atop the platform on his throne, their eyes filled with unspoken love that permeated the air.

Finally, the swarm of bats reached their destination. They circled once in mid-air, transforming into wisps of black smoke that coalesced into fair-skinned, elegant vampire girls. Dressed in elaborate Lolita-style gowns, their lace trim swaying gently with their movements, they obediently settled among the seemingly full horde of monster girls, affectionately nuzzling towards Zhuang Sen—some kissing his cheeks, others lightly kissing the backs of his hands, and the bolder ones even nestling against his legs, their actions making no attempt to conceal their love, respect, and intimacy towards him.

Only now did the guests, whose eyes had been fixed on the bat, finally snap out of their daze. Looking at the breathtaking sight of beauties surrounding Zhuang Sen, they were momentarily at a loss for words. No one had ever made such an extravagant gesture at a coronation ceremony—even the most lecherous man would at least maintain a semblance of decorum; this wasn't something that needed to be publicly proclaimed to the world!

But when their gazes swept over the array of alluring and uniquely shaped demon girls surrounding Zhuang Sen, everyone had to admit that this lineup was less a display of "lust" and more a testament to "power"! In this world where bloodline is power, the true form of bloodline represents the pinnacle of power. The fact that so many bloodline users genuinely supported and devoted themselves to him was proof of Zhuang Sen's strength. This power was enough to make anyone envious; whether in terms of authority, strength, or charisma, it was an unparalleled glory.

"Welcome to my palace, everyone. Please have a seat."

Zhuang Sen spread his arms on the throne and embraced the monster girls who were crowding around him. Angela and Mira were lucky enough to squeeze into his arms, and they showed happy smiles. This made Gao Shan Wang and the others feel unbalanced. They could only rely on the big plan to stabilize their expressions and maintain a calm appearance.

Baro knew it was his turn to perform. Without needing anyone to urge him, he stepped forward and sincerely congratulated Zhuang Sen: "Congratulations, Zhuang Sen..."

"Ask him about the origins of these demons...bloodline beings."

A quiet voice drifted into Baroo's ears. Though his expression remained unchanged, a stronger resentment rose within him. He wasn't sure if Zhuang Sen harbored any ill will towards him. But he knew very well that these self-proclaimed servants of God, no matter how polite and humble they appeared, were actually quite arrogant, even showing a degree of contempt and disdain towards them, the kings. Therefore, despite their compelling evidence and the promise of the benefits of sharing the method of sealing the bloodline, Baroo remained unmoved—he wouldn't live for many more years anyway, and it didn't matter whether the Fallen Star Kingdom belonged to his eldest daughter or his youngest.

However, on the surface, he still had to proceed according to the plan, the plan he had made with Zhuang Sen. So he immediately changed his tune, saying, "Congratulations, Zhuang Sen, but won't you introduce me to these ladies who possess noble blood?"

Zhuang Sen laughed heartily, “Of course, no problem, Your Majesty~ They are not ordinary bloodline beings, but rather more outstanding beings. According to the ancient records I obtained, they were once descendants of gods, beings with the same form and bloodline as the gods. However, now, you can also treat them all as my daughters.”

Baro opened his mouth, but found himself completely unable to respond to Zhuang Sen's words. What did he mean by saying these female bloodlines were divine offspring, and what did he mean by treating them all as his daughters? Did he think he was treating his daughters like that? And Celine was there too! Celine was clearly my daughter! She was two years older than you!

But Barroo's shock was not on Johnson's mind. Johnson, who had already received the message from Dantalian and Misty, was keeping an eye on the suspicious people.

What will you do next?

Chapter 326: Bloodline Sealed (4050 words)

Zhuang Sen made no attempt to conceal his observation of the guests below. Aside from Baroo, whose expression was genuinely surprised, the others all wore different expressions. Beneath the surface of surprise, the Mountain King's gaze was clearly tinged with suspicion and greed; his eyes were focused on Celine and Serafina, seemingly noticing the difference between the [Red Dragon] and the [Red Dragon Maiden]. The Thousand Towers King, on the other hand, looked at Misty with resentment, his eyes filled with dejection and obsession. These people, along with their accompanying high-ranking officials, all seemed normal. Zhuang Sen's main focus was on the people from the Papal States, especially the Pope and those suspicious individuals—they were remarkably calm, showing neither surprise nor anger, appearing perfectly normal.

But this is the biggest anomaly. Even if they didn't believe Zhuang Sen's words, seeing so many "Level 3 Bloodline Users" wouldn't elicit such an attitude. Baroo and the others are the normal ones. Unless they used some means to suppress their emotions, such as abilities like [Mechanical Mind] or [Cold Will]. Further considering this, if they harbored goodwill towards the monster girls, such as viewing them as deities, there would be no need to control themselves in this way. Only if they felt that showing their true emotions would cause trouble would they need to suppress them. Just like a normal man wouldn't choose to abstain from sex before Niu Niu experienced pain.

It seems there's no need to keep it anymore.

Zhuang Sen narrowed his eyes, and the guests below felt a chill for a moment, but it vanished upon closer inspection. They swallowed hard; even members of small nations like the Winter King were starting to back down. Looking at the monster girls beside Zhuang Sen, they had absolutely no confidence in defeating him. Yes, those self-proclaimed servants of God possessed the ability to seal bloodlines, but they had only demonstrated the ability to seal a single person. Even if they exaggerated further, claiming to be able to seal all those with the same bloodline within a certain range, Zhuang Sen had dozens of them around him!

Besides, who knows if there are any level five bloodline users among them? It's impossible for them to all be level three bloodline users. They might fool those who don't understand, but these people are all high-ranking members of the kingdom; they have that much discernment. To be honest, many small countries are already prepared to kneel before Zhuang Sen after the coronation. As for why they don't kneel now… isn't it just a matter of chance?

The crisp sound of bells came from the heights of the palace, breaking the awkward atmosphere. Zhuang Sen released his wives from his arms, rose from the throne, and said in a gentle yet authoritative tone: "The time has come, gentlemen. Let us begin the coronation ceremony."

Regardless, completing the coronation ceremony and strengthening oneself is the top priority right now. If these people are weak, dealing with them later is fine; if they are strong, then improving oneself is even more important. Besides, who would have thought that a mere coronation ceremony could boost one's strength? If Zhuang Sen were one of these people, he would also wait until the coronation ceremony was complete, when he was at his most complacent and relaxed, to make his move. That would greatly increase the success rate and the sense of satisfaction.

Thus, the Mountain King, the Thousand Tower King, and others who had traveled from afar and hadn't even taken their seats yet could only remain standing, watching Zhuang Sen walk down the platform step by step. He said gently, "I'm sorry, the ceremony started from outside. I was just thinking of trying out the throne first, but I didn't expect it to go by so quickly." No one would believe such a lie! You're clearly just deliberately showing off! But no matter what the others thought to themselves, no one had the courage or the thought to speak at this moment, and could only helplessly follow.

In this helplessness, many people have begun to develop the rudiments of a "spiritual victory method," secretly despising Zhuang Sen, this pretentious nouveau riche—"I'll see what tricks your coronation ceremony has up its sleeve!"

Then, the moment they stepped out the door, they were once again overwhelmed with awe.

The bright, sunny sky suddenly darkened, a pure darkness, deeper than night itself, enveloping everything. All seemed to fall into eternal silence, as if returning to the warm embrace before birth. Even those with fifth-level bloodlines, like Gao Shan Wang and Baluo, were momentarily stunned. When they recovered, they broke out in a cold sweat. Gao Shan Wang even prepared to attack, believing it to be some kind of ambush, thinking his plan had been exposed.

But before he could act, Zhuang Sen had already raised his right hand, pointed to the sky, and proclaimed loudly, "Give to Heaven—with stars!"

As the vampires unleashed their combined [First Night], starlight twinkled, casting a calming and invigorating glow. One by one, monster girls emerged from the starlight: Griffin, vampires, happy girls, swan girls… and even Celine and Seraphine, the red dragon girl. Each displayed their most perfect bearing and immense power. The overwhelming pressure successfully halted the red dragon's fighting instincts, even forcing a smile of admiration from the Mountain King.

As the glittering starlight appeared, six pure white wings slowly emerged from Zhuang Sen's back. Warm and gentle holy light, like sunlight, illuminated the earth, banishing all darkness, like a pure white sun dispelling the night. In the transition from darkness to light, even though they knew this was a ritual meticulously designed by Zhuang Sen, their biological instincts still caused them to feel a surge of joy and a sense of identification with Zhuang Sen.

But this is not the end of the ceremony.

As the holy light shone across the earth, Zhuang Sen pointed to the ground once more and proclaimed loudly, "Give the earth—with flowers!"

In an instant, a vibrant sea of ​​flowers covered the ground, its rich yet harmonious fragrance, delicious yet not cloying. The flower sea, meticulously designed by Hana and the nature-type monster girl, captivated countless guests in that instant. Beautiful things are always beautiful, even if they may not last forever or eradicate filth; in the moment of their appearance, their power is undeniably strong enough to steal everyone's attention.

So much so that when night fell and the vampires returned, they realized the meaning behind Johnson's ritual and were shocked or disdainful of it.

"To bestow the heavens and earth as a figurehead, he really makes no attempt to hide his ambition."

"Arrogant fool, do you think that by using this showy ceremony you can really control the world?"

"So beautiful~"

Amidst whispers that seemed to mark the end of the ceremony's climax, Zhuang Sen proclaimed once more: "To the sea—with the tide!"

Boom! Boom!

Suddenly, violent waves surged around the Sea King's Palace. Blue mermaids darted through the tides, while Kraken, octopus girls, sea hare girls, crab girls… aquatic monsters rampaged through the waters, creating a spectacle far more dramatic than the tsunami Esther had previously unleashed. Faced with this terrifying power of nature, even fifth-level bloodline users like Baroo and the Mountain King felt tense, but they had no intention of making a move. Zhuang Sen's previous two actions had already desensitized them.

After heaven and earth, it seemed perfectly normal to follow with the ocean; this should be the end, right? Deep down, they felt that the ceremony wasn't over yet—and they were right.

Zhuang Sen spread his six wings, radiating a soft yet bright holy light that even surpassed the morning sun, appearing from afar as if it were covering everyone. This included not only the distinguished guests at the Sea King's Palace, but also the local nobles of White City who had been waiting outside, and even ordinary people from far away in White City and the surrounding areas. As they gazed at the rising white sun, they seemed to be bathed in its gentle holy light, and a surge of power welled up within them—this was the power of the Ultimate Evolution: [Pure Angel]—[Pure Light].

When Zhuang Sen unleashes this ability, all who witness the light are marked. Those with goodwill and respect receive positive effects, such as healing injuries and purifying negative influences; those with malice and hostility suffer negative effects, such as blindness, dizziness, and body burning. Of course, the effects are very weak, but they are still quite effective for ordinary people, and it is originally just a support ability.
