I am the Executioner Dragon, but a cute mod

King Iz sensed something was amiss and went to investigate himself. He lifted the white sheet covering the corpse, its outline grotesquely stained with blood, and upon seeing the scene beneath, his brow furrowed.

The condition of the corpses was too gruesome; they were more like skeletons than corpses. Looking at the skeletons with a few bits of flesh and blood still clinging to them, King Iz could almost imagine a wild beast tearing at the bodies.

"What kind of monster could inflict such injuries? I'm afraid the recent disappearances of those hunters are also the work of this monster..."

King Iz was somewhat troubled. He had lived here for many years and had never heard of any monster capable of such a feat. However, for the safety of the city's residents, he still ordered them to stay indoors and formed an additional patrol team to patrol outside the city walls to prevent the monster from entering and harming people.

After that, casualties decreased significantly, perhaps because no hunters left the city. Monsters, unable to find food, began to target the city-state, and patrols frequently found animal tracks outside the city.

The footprints were large, even larger than the two feet of an adult ape, and their shape was very strange. Even experienced hunters could not immediately identify what kind of creature it was.

Upon learning of this, King Iz issued a reward: any resident who could provide clues about the owner of the footprints would be rewarded, with the amount depending on the importance of the information.

The reward notice immediately sparked a heated discussion in the city about the owner of the footprints. However, before people could come to an answer, the answer was revealed on its own a few days later.

That night, the patrol went about their routine patrol, assuming there would be no danger as usual. However, in the darkness, a prehistoric honey badger with black and white fur had already set its sights on them.

Adult prehistoric honey badgers are about 60 centimeters long and have the ability to prey on young and old apes, with combat strength on par with adult apes.

But this prehistoric honey badger is unusual; it is a specialized species with a body size that has exceeded the limits, reaching 1.6 meters, almost the size of an adult ape when standing upright.

At this moment, this prehistoric honey badger specialization was staring at the patrol team. Hunger had not taken away its rationality; instead, it was calmly considering its hunting strategy.

It had fought against ape-man soldiers whose armor was very tough and whose bronze spears greatly increased their attack range.

It took it quite a bit of effort to wipe out the search party that had gone out to look for people. Faced with this patrolling party outside the city, the prehistoric honey badger decided to patiently wait for the right opportunity.

If even one soldier falls behind, its chances of winning will be much greater if it strikes again.

Finally, after half an hour of lying in wait and observing, the opportunity came. The soldier at the end of the patrol got bored and drowsy. He yawned, rubbed his eyes, and his pace slowed down without him realizing it.

"Don't fall behind, keep up!" a teammate in front reminded him after noticing him.

The soldier smiled dismissively and said casually:

"It's okay, it's okay, nothing will happen."

The teammate in front shook his head helplessly and ignored him. The soldier at the back of the column drifted further and further away from the group until the column turned the corner of the city wall and disappeared from his sight.

tata tao...

A series of footsteps suddenly sounded from behind. The bored soldier assumed it was a teammate returning to urge him on, and waved his hand without turning around.

"Stop rushing me, I'll keep up, okay?"

After saying that, he casually looked toward the source of the sound, but his pupils suddenly contracted. A prehistoric honey badger, as big as a teratonic cat, was charging toward him.

He instinctively tried to brace the bronze spear in front of him, but the prehistoric honey badger was much faster than he had imagined, biting his arm almost instantly.

The crisp sound of bones shattering rang out clearly, blood gushed out, followed by the soldier's piercing screams that echoed through the night:

"Ahhhhh!!"

The scream immediately caught the attention of the patrol team in the distance. Without hesitation, they grabbed their spears and rushed toward the direction from which the sound came.

When they arrived at the scene, a gruesome sight unfolded before them: a prehistoric honey badger was lying on top of the soldier, its scythe-like claws deeply embedded in the bronze armor, its sharp teeth tearing at the soldier's neck.

Seeing this, the team members gritted their teeth, and one soldier roared:

"Go to hell, you beast!"

He then threw the spear in his hand with all his might.

The spear pierced the back of the prehistoric honey badger with precision, but its fur and muscles were exceptionally tough, and the blow did not cause fatal damage.

Startled, the prehistoric honey badger dragged the soldier's corpse and turned to flee, disappearing into the dense forest in the blink of an eye...

Chapter 154: Game in Development

The appearance of the giant prehistoric honey badger made the apes seem to rediscover the world. The apes, who had been living in peace and contentment, began to panic, fearing the giant prehistoric honey badger and also fearing that unknown dangers were hidden in this suddenly unfamiliar world.

King Iz was extremely distressed by this. He tried to strengthen the city's armed forces while also trying to appease the residents, but his efforts were too weak, causing widespread panic in the city.

Amidst this panic, negative energy began to accumulate in Iz City, gradually growing to a considerable scale. Seeing this, Lilith perked up and sighed:

"It seems my method is working. Just one prehistoric honey badger has instilled such fear in the apes. It's just a pity that the specialized species are too scattered. If they were more concentrated, it would be better..."

Thinking about this, Lilith suddenly had an idea. If the specialized species were simply animals that had their growth restrictions lifted, then once the specialized species were on par with the ape-men in strength, they would reduce their confrontations with the ape-men to avoid risks.

After all, compared to ape-men who wore armor, wielded spears, and lived in groups, hunting creatures like deer, sheep, and cattle was obviously less risky and more rewarding.

But that won't do. The two sides must be absolutely hostile. If you become stronger, I must become stronger in order not to be destroyed. Only in this way can the apes develop the potential of their magical power to the limit.

To achieve this goal, Lilith added another trait to the specialized species: the flesh of the ape-man is addictive to the specialized species, the kind that once eaten, can never be quit.

After completing this step, Lilith smiled with satisfaction, then looked at the invisible negative energy gathering above Iz City. The more negative energy there was, the greater the probability of a superhuman being being born in the small world.

However, Lilith also noticed something amiss, discovering that while the negative energy generated by the ape-men was similar to curse power, it also had some indescribable differences.

If I had to put it into words, it would be that the negative energy generated within the small world is purer.

[I wonder if this small world can give birth to a sorcerer from this negative energy. I hope nothing unexpected happens.]

As Lilith thought this, she took out the grilled beef skewers, which were sizzling with oil, from the brown paper bag and began to enjoy them. However, just as she was halfway through eating them, her phone, which was in her pocket, suddenly rang.

Lilith quickly finished the beef skewers, licked the grease off her fingers, and then took out her phone. She opened the cover and saw that the caller ID showed "Amelia".

Lilith's eyes lit up. Amelia had been sent to find a well-known group to make a game, and now that she was being called, there must have been progress in the matter.

He quickly answered the phone and began asking questions:

"Amelia? How's the game going? Is it progressing smoothly?"

A moment later, Amelia's voice came from the other end of the phone, sounding somewhat tired but filled with barely suppressed excitement:

"Boss, I contacted several companies that have published AAA games, and they all explicitly rejected us when they learned that we wanted to make a 'Minecraft fan game'."

However, Take-Two Interactive didn't outright reject the offer; they said they would cooperate with us if we could secure the rights.

Hearing this, Lilith became somewhat excited and quickly asked:

"Have you secured the copyright?"

As soon as the words were spoken, a voice came from the other end of the phone:

"Microsoft Group is very tight-lipped about copyrights. No matter how much money I offered, they were unwilling to sell the rights. However... I used some special methods and successfully acquired the copyright. I am currently in talks with Take-Two Interactive about a collaboration."

"Special means? What special means? You didn't break the law, did you?" Lilith asked hesitantly, feeling that given Amelia's personality, she must have done something horrific to get Microsoft to give in.

Just as Lilith was speculating, Amelia's cheerful voice rang out:

"Don't worry, boss, I didn't break the law. I just flew the Microsoft chairman to over 10,000 meters and then dropped him off, and then he agreed."

Hearing this, Lilith finally breathed a sigh of relief. As long as she hadn't broken the law, that was good. Lilith was a model citizen and had never done anything immoral. Her resume could not have any blemishes.

After all, if necessary, they still need to open personal social media accounts to promote their own games. If they are exposed for their bad behavior, then they will be finished.

Lilith then showered Amelia with praise for her intelligence and encouraged her:

"In that case, you can focus on developing the game over there. If you encounter any problems, just call us."

After these words were spoken, there was a few seconds of silence on the other end of the phone before a voice came through:

"Boss, actually, I didn't just call about this... Not long ago, I found Ender, the creator of the Titan mod, through the forums, and I've invited him to join the game's development..."

Upon hearing this, Lilith was taken aback, but quickly recovered by looking at Ender, the creator of the Titan mod, followed by a surge of elation:

"What did you say? Titan mod creator? Is that the one I'm thinking of?"

Lilith:

"That's right, just as you think."

Upon receiving an affirmative answer, Lilith could hardly contain her excitement; after all, that guy had, in a sense, created something new.

Lilith had many questions for that guy, so she said "Okay, I'll be right there," hung up the phone, said goodbye to Tianyuan, and hurriedly left the barrier.

Because it concerned the original creator of the Titan module, Lilith was so excited that she completely forgot about the small world. Even when she left, the time flow in the small world was still a thousand times faster than in the real world.

Lilith was gone for seven days. During those seven days, she met Ender, the creator of the Titan mod, and they talked all night long. It was as if they had found kindred spirits. The more they talked, the more they clicked and the more excited they became.

Ender added a lot of information about the Executioner Dragon, and Lilith benefited greatly from it, even learning about many of the abolished settings.

For example, the Executioner's real name is Frotheru, and he is also a twin brother of Witherzilla.

For Ender, the Executioner Dragon is only described in text; he is even considering whether to add it to the Titan module.

He hadn't expected Lilith to be so interested in Executioner Dragon, and even to collaborate with him on creating an independent game featuring Executioner Dragon as the protagonist.

Ender was flattered and promised to work hard. Lilith also trusted him completely and told Amelia to listen to his advice.

After finishing all that, Lilith was ready to have some fun in New York. It was her first time in New York, and she wanted to try some local delicacies.

So Lilith, accompanied by Amelia, went on a wild trip in New York for several days and nights before reluctantly leaving the United States because she couldn't bear to leave her little world behind.

After returning to the Star Palace, Lilith casually greeted Tengen, who was researching barrier techniques, and then headed straight for the location of the small world to observe its development over the past few days.

However, upon seeing this, Lilith was completely stunned. Because she hadn't adjusted the time flow of the small world when she left, nearly twenty years had passed in the seven days she was away.

Chapter 155: Extraordinary Life

The average lifespan of ape-men was around fifteen years. In twenty years, ape-men had reproduced two generations, which led to very obvious changes in the small world.

Lilith glanced briefly at the ape-man settlement and saw that Iz City was much larger than it had been twenty years ago, with a rather magnificent building now standing in the city center.

Seeing that the ape-men had not gone extinct, Lilith's tense nerves finally relaxed. Then, she couldn't hide her surprise and delight, because she had keenly sensed that there was a genuine superhuman in the grand building in the center of Iz City.

Lilith's gaze passed through the grand building and landed on the ape-man sitting on the throne, seemingly asleep, at the end of the twelve steps at the far end of the hall. If this ape-man's strength were judged using the sorcerer's system, his strength had already reached the level of a first-level sorcerer.

Lilith was pleasantly surprised. She hadn't expected that in just twenty years, the small world would produce a superhuman comparable to a first-level mage. At the same time, she became interested in the experiences of the small world over the past twenty years. Fortunately, she had full control of the small world and could easily access the footage of the past twenty years within an hour.

In order to observe more clearly the birth of this extraordinary being, comparable to a first-level mage, Lilith focused her gaze directly on the ape-man.

Given the average lifespan of ape-men, Lilith initially thought this ape-man was born within the last ten years, but unexpectedly, the perspective suddenly shifted back to the reign of the first King Iz, which was the time when giant prehistoric honey badgers were active.

"Is this guy really that long-lived? He's lived for over twenty years? Could it be... that becoming a superhuman can help extend lifespan? There's no such thing in the world of sorcery..."

Lilith was somewhat confused, but she quickly realized that although the extraordinary abilities of both worlds originated from negative energy, they seemed to have taken completely different paths.

Realizing this, Lilith also developed a deeper interest in the ape-man who was feigning sleep on the throne...

In this small world, twenty years ago, a giant prehistoric honey badger became addicted to eating people. It would repeatedly sneak into Iz City under the cover of night by digging holes outside the city walls. It would kill anyone it saw, regardless of age or gender, and drag them out of the city to eat.
