Frilian: Starting with Wind Spirit and Moon Shadow, Playing Through the Heavens

"I know this is a bit unreasonable, but unlike before, now that you have become the Demon King, you don't need to worry about so much, right?"

“I can clearly smell the blood on you.”

Even so, however...

Ronan pondered for a moment, then nodded:

"Let's talk about it another time. How many human souls do you need? What do you mean by 'high quality'?"

Carrera explained it simply: in short, the soul required for evolution is secondary; the energy contained within the soul is of paramount importance.

That's called information snippets, and it's an important standard for measuring skill strength.

The more information fragments one has, the higher the quality of one's soul, and the stronger one becomes at absorbing information.

Once you accumulate enough, you will naturally awaken to this truth.

"People with unique skills usually have a lot of information fragments, so it would probably only take about two thousand sacrifices."

"The reason why ordinary awakening requires tens of thousands of people is because those people are very weak and lack skills. Only quantitative change can lead to qualitative change."

Ronan nodded, understanding. Then, remembering something, he immediately took Carrera back to the Eastern Empire.

The palace was still in ruins, but a few people could be seen repairing it. When they saw Ronan, they were all startled, and the tools in their hands clattered to the ground.

Seeing that they were just ordinary craftsmen, Ronan didn't pay them any mind, but instead asked Carrera:

"A lot of people have just died here. See if you can absorb any fragments of their information."

Carrera nodded, closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and then her face lit up with joy:

"Master, you're amazing! That's more than enough. Did you kill all the experts here?"

"Roughly estimated, I will have some left over after absorbing all of this."

Ronan pondered for a moment, then realized that in this battle, he and Jingjiang had killed more than a dozen immortals and two or three saints.

Although the number of casualties may seem small, in reality, even in a large-scale war involving millions of people, the loss of high-end combat power would probably not be this many.

This is almost equivalent to the entire wealth of the Holy Royal Kingdom.

This does not include the visitors from other worlds who have awakened unique skills and the local natives, totaling several hundred people.

"Then absorb it."

Ronan waved his hand, and also called over Nine-Tailed Fox and Jelly. At the same time, he tried to awaken Azure Dragon as well.

Because of the constraints of the world's rules, monsters cannot possess ultimate skills before they awaken, so even if the Azure Dragon is given more magic essence, it will still be the [Air Commander].

Carrera obeyed the order and began to sense and absorb the souls that had not yet dissipated.

Not far away, Rudra saw Ronan return and immediately frowned.

He had absolutely no idea what the other party's reappearance meant... a provocation? A boast? Or perhaps, to force him to take action?

But he soon understood, because he saw the cocoon of evolution enveloping Carela appear.

The previously suppressed demonic aura now spread out uncontrollably, making the surrounding air thick and sticky.

An overwhelming pressure filled the air, causing the craftsman to faint instantly. Rudra, who had lived for thousands of years, immediately understood what the scene before him represented.

—This is outrageous!

They killed my men and now they want to absorb their souls; they're trying to squeeze every last drop of value out of them.

hateful.

He really wanted to make a move, but when he thought about how his opponent also possessed the power of the King of Justice, he ultimately held back.

He could only watch helplessly as Ronan summoned other monsters, which one by one began the evolution process, one of which was actually a slime…

Rudra's lips twitched involuntarily, then he clenched his fist, a surge of anger rising in his eyes.

……

As time passed and the soul energy of this place was exhausted, in addition to Carrera, the Azure Dragon and the Nine-Tailed Fox also shone with dazzling light.

Because they have abundant magic energy, all they lack is soul power, so their evolution process is very smooth.

However, for some reason, the jelly failed to awaken.

The light flashed and disappeared in an instant. She looked at her body, her expression slightly aggrieved.

After thinking for a moment, Ronan comforted her, saying that it was probably because her soul power was too weak, and that it would be fine next time.

Other monsters awaken by increasing their power from 900 to 1000, but as a slime, she is inherently disadvantaged, starting from 500, which is quite a bit of a gap.

Jelly had no choice but to accept this explanation, thinking to herself that she was lucky she wasn't a combat-type monster.

Occasionally, they transform, infiltrate, and steal intelligence.

Otherwise, if they fail, all the owner's hard work will be wasted, and who knows how upset they will be.

And so, she watched as her other companions evolved successfully one by one.

In an instant, dark clouds enveloped the entire sky above the royal city.

Boom!

Thunderstorms came one after another, turning the sky and earth into an eerie purple, creating a terrifyingly oppressive atmosphere, as if the end of the world had arrived.

In such an extreme environment, the "Sky Master" was successfully promoted and became the "King of the Sky, Zeus".

Nine-Tails, on the other hand, received "Aiolos, the King of Storms".

Chapter 181, Sky Domination: From this day forward, I shall stand in the heavens; usurping the title of King of Redemption.

Ronan was very satisfied with the ultimate skills awakened by the dragon and the fox.

Zeus and Aiolos perfectly embodied the concept of a cooperative relationship.

Azure Dragon is undoubtedly the number one among all the mounts he owns.

"In this way, the sky will be my domain, and my core power will be the domination of the sky. In other words..."

Ronan muttered to himself, his fingers stroking his chin.

The Azure Dragon circled in the sky. Ronan looked up at it, trying to use his flying skills, but there was no response.

At this moment, only Feng Lingyueying could still fly.

It is obvious that when the King of the Sky uses it, only he can stand in the sky, and everyone else is only fit to look up at him from the ground.

Unfortunately, there are no hairspray hands.

He doesn't wear glasses himself.

otherwise…

Some images flashed through his mind, and Ronan shook his head slightly.

Soon, Nine-Tails returned to his side and reported on the Storm King's abilities.

"Hmm, Storm Domination is not bad. From now on, you will protect Jingjiang."

"As for your wife and daughter, they should be allowed to rest. Although they don't appear in public much, the continuation of the race is still very important."

Nine-Tailed Fox replied, "Yes, leader."

He thought that his wife was getting on in years and it was indeed time for her to retire.

And the daughter is at the prime of her life; when she gives birth to a few little wind foxes, they can bring blessings to the rest of the family.

If you can't fight, becoming a pet is fine too, like keeping your owner's children company.

As I pondered, the deafening thunder gradually subsided, and the Azure Dragon circled back.

Although it was a short time, it was seen by everyone in the royal city.

Some of the more timid ones were so frightened that their legs went weak and they dared not approach.

Some of the bolder ones were so overwhelmed by the demonic aura emanating from the Azure Dragon that they foamed at the mouth and fainted as soon as they got close.

Within a radius of 20 kilometers, besides Ronan, only Rudra was standing there.

However, even though the situation had reached a dead end, Rudra still refrained from showing himself.

He believed that as a powerful and ambitious figure, one must be patient in order to achieve hegemony.

Only after Ronan and the group of monsters left did he deactivate his skill and slowly walk out.

Looking around, all I could see was devastation.

Later, it was estimated that the losses were devastating; this battle wiped out five hundred years of accumulation by the Eastern Empire.

Even with relentless development, it will be impossible to restore its former prosperity within two hundred years.

The woman I deeply love is still gone...

Defeated.

……

"The feeling of becoming stronger is wonderful!"

Breaking free from the cocoon of evolution, Carrera clenched her fists, unable to contain her excitement.

"Abaddon, the Lord of Destruction... Master, I am now confident that I can defeat the White Ice Dragon from back then!"

Her face beamed with uncontrollable joy, and she immediately wanted to destroy a city for fun.

As the name suggests, this skill can destroy any matter, and is almost the opposite of the solidification skill mastered by the King of Endurance.

Ronan glanced at her sideways. Although he was also happy about it, the most important thing right now was business, so he interrupted, saying:

"Yes, it's good that you've become stronger. From now on, go and keep Guy in check. Haven't you always wanted to defeat him at least once?"

"This is a good reminder for him. Based on our last encounter, what are your chances of defeating him?"

Upon hearing this, Carrera's excited expression slowly faded.

She lowered her head, thought for a moment, and said hesitantly:

"I don't know either."

"But we are all Demon Kings, and we all possess ultimate skills, so we shouldn't lose as badly as last time."
