Can't I develop my own character?

"Are these guys human?"

Although they have human forms, their limbs are obviously twisted, making them look more like a group of deformed species rushing madly.

Not a human, but a demon.

But they should be people who are dominated by desires and gradually degenerate into demons, not those who come from the chaotic space.

This surprised Ryan a little, because the process of human beings falling into demons requires the power of the outer gods to reach a certain level. In a small border town like Astor City, there is almost no news of the active forces of the City of Desire. In theory, even if there are believers, they should only be a group of relatively weak guys.

Could it be that there is a big boss hiding in this city?

Roar!

The demon of desire rushed out from the streets and pounced on the Pot of Greed.

But before it could get close, it was cut in half by Mortis' sword.

Then a tower defense battle began.

Group after group of demons rushed out from the surroundings and pounced on the Pot of Greed.

The amount was so great that Ryan was surprised.

"No, if these people were completely corrupted, they would have lost their minds. It's ok that they were lurking without being discovered before, but now they are so purposeful?"

Ryan looked around and felt that someone must be controlling these demons.

But apart from this place, the surroundings were pitch black, and there was no sign of anything. Ryan asked 'Charlie' to open the barrier of the inner world to prevent the power of the Pot of Greed from being too strong and causing chaos. At the same time, if there really was someone outside manipulating the situation, the barrier of the inner world could block the other party's operation to a certain extent. It would depend on whether they could be lured out.

hum~~

The gray barrier unfolded with magic power, and the surrounding area entered the inner world space.

The long-lost barrier was opened. After wandering through the chaotic space many times, Ryan felt more and more that the so-called inner world barrier was part of the chaotic space.

There is still the influence of foreign gods here, but it is relatively stable.

Ryan did not take action, and also asked 'Xia Li' to hide her whereabouts.

The strength of this group of desire demons is quite good. The strongest one has even reached the level of a second-order transcendent. However, they have no professional skills, so their combat effectiveness is greatly reduced.

But even a second-level transcendent could never be a match for Mortis. The extremely high career growth and relic attribute bonus made Mortis's attribute values ​​even surpass many third-level transcendents.

Moreover, the Deep Sea Hunter's professional talent also provides an additional 30% damage bonus to targets passing through the path of the Faith of Desire. Asking her to fight the Demon of Desire is like a father beating his son.

Soon, the area around the Pot of Greed was filled with corpses.

Most of them are ordinary demons, not even first-level transcendents. There are about ten of them who have reached the level of transcendents.

"Not coming yet?"

Ryan rubbed his chin.

Even if ordinary demons are not worth much, you should still feel sad for those first-level and even second-level ones who died, right?

【Congratulations on your successful advancement. 】

Below, 'Mortis' has successfully killed 100 demons and advanced successfully.

Just when Ryan was wondering how the other party could endure so much, a figure suddenly rushed over from a distance - it was a woman with wings on her back. The other party stood in the distance and did not approach rashly. She stared at Mortis for a while, and after making sure that she was the only one around, she flew over.

[Heros, Slave of Desire.lv35]

"With a name?"

Ryan was thoughtful. In the demon army of the Outer Gods, the higher-level demons were generally intelligent, especially the Lord of Trickery and the God of Desire. These two demons of the Outer Gods often appeared in the form of humans.

However, it is difficult for demons to break through the space of the inner world, so the level of demons that appear in the real world is generally not too high.

The mission of these demons that break through the inner world and descend into the world is to expand the influence of the power of the outer gods, making the power of the outer gods stronger and stronger until they break through the constraints of the inner world and descend into the world.

This is the ultimate goal of the Outer Gods. The Gate of Janus is dedicated to destroying the power of the Outer Gods in order to prevent the collapse of the boundary between the inner world and the real world, otherwise the whole world will be in chaos.

But what Ryan was thinking about was how much experience he would get after killing this thing, and how much equipment he would get.

After Helos appeared, the ordinary demons began to retreat, giving the field to her and 'Mortis'.

Ryan originally just wanted to see how strong Mortis was, and let her fight with Helos, and then see what would happen if she couldn't win. But he found that the two of them were fighting back and forth.

Helos seemed to be good at control. She kept using mind control magic on Mortis, trying to turn Mortis into her own follower. Unfortunately, Mortis had the skill blessing of the Wild Hunt Soul and was immune to the influence of mental magic that was no higher than two levels of her own.

Heros had no idea and kept releasing control spells, and as a result, his wings were almost chopped off by Mortis.

The King of the Wild Hunt, no emotions!

Swish!

The magic power of 'Motis' suddenly erupted, and the broken black sword turned into a dazzling spear, stabbing towards Heros fiercely!

"Shine, Storm Lance!" It was not 'Mortis' who shouted, but Ryan.

The extremely powerful fatal blow directly penetrated Heros' body and hit a tall building in the distance. Fortunately, the inner world space was arranged, otherwise, who knows how many people would have died from this blow.

"The battle is over."

Ryan jumps off the roof.

Heros was killed, and several balls of light exploded. 'Mortis' continued to clean up ordinary demons, while 'Charlie' ran over to touch the corpse.

Unfortunately, my luck was not very good. Except for one thing I don’t know what it was, all I got was roast chicken and potions.

"Xia Li, you'd better not touch corpses with your stinky hands anymore." Ryan was speechless. "Your luck ran out in Cazorla Prison."

'Xia Li' didn't say anything, but her expression showed that she was not convinced.

Cazorla?

That combo book, the only one, was used with Lin Qi, and she remembered it clearly.

"What is this thing?"

Ryan took out the only dropped item from his backpack.

[Key of Desire: After opening, it will open the door to the City of Desire once.]

"So this is how you enter the City of Desire?"

Ryan suddenly realized, no wonder no one knew where the City of Desire was.

Just thinking about it.

Heros' body suddenly caught fire.

Wisps of pink scent wafted out.

"Ok?"

Ryan discovered that the pink was flying towards him. He had no time to dodge. The pink flowed into his right hand and eventually formed a pink "6" on the back of his right hand.

"?????"

"What the hell?!"

As far as he knew, 6 was the mysterious number of desire, just like 9 for the Lord of Trickery. Under certain circumstances, the followers of these two Outer Gods could use these numbers to achieve unexpected effects - such as mental corruption.

I understand the principle, but why did this thing happen to me?

And why is it pink?

Wait, why does this thing look familiar?

Memories of the past came flooding back, and Ryan suddenly remembered, isn't this the 'Seal of Lust' from the game?!

The Seal of Desire is not something that turns a person into an MZ, but rather a prerequisite for transitioning to a supernatural profession in the game. Each sin represents a career direction based on the characteristics corresponding to the Seven Deadly Sins, and corresponds to a color.

For example, gluttony is represented by a red 6, rage is represented by a black 6, and lust is represented by a pink 6.

That is to say, there are seven types of job changes in total through the path of desire and faith.

Because of the special nature of the Desire profession, many players are keen to switch to this profession, so related information can be found everywhere.

But the problem is that Ryan didn't get any extraordinary career path.

"This thing won't have any impact, right?" Ryan said a little worriedly.

"It shouldn't be dangerous." 'Xia Li' walked over and sniffed, "But... I smell a scent of desire coming from you."

"Uh, what does desire taste like?"

"It tastes dangerous, but addictive."

"Is there...?"

Ryan smelled himself and didn't smell anything strange.

"I am the chosen one of the Blood God. I am very sensitive to the power from the chaotic space, which is imperceptible to ordinary people." After saying this, 'Xia Li' continued to sniff, and then moved a little closer to Ryan.

Ryan: "?"

'Charlie', what are you doing?

Although he and 'Xia Li' have used many tricks, given 'Xia Li's' personality, she would hardly take the initiative to get close to him.

"Smells good."

"...Could this be the effect of this thing?"

Ryan felt it was likely true. This kind of mark was essential for changing classes, meaning it connected him to the path of faith in desire... but he hadn't activated his class. Did that mean the God of Desire had given it to him?

No, it was Mortis who killed him, why are you targeting me!!!

......

The next day, Ryan ordered Viscount Anjia to conduct a large-scale sweep of Ast City.

The purpose is to wipe out the pagans lurking in the dark. Desire has been lurking in this city for more than a day or two. If they want to develop faith, then Heros should not be the only demon sent here.

However, apart from some minions, no third-level demons like Helos were found.

Ryan doesn't care anyway. From now on, he and Slaanesh are sworn enemies! Didn't you choose me? Fine, I'll sweep through your house as soon as I have time and wipe out all your faith. It's up to you whether you choose me or not!

He had no intention of changing his job to a lustful profession, but fortunately this mark would not allow him to directly step into the belief of lust, otherwise he would really cry.

I won’t turn it, I won’t turn it even if you kill me. Even if I turn to Son of the Sun, I won’t turn to lust.

"Father, a lord has contacted me!"

In the castle.

The news of the defeat of the Frank army has spread. As expected, the pupils of the major lords trembled, and the originally staunch supporters of Frank have begun to waver.

After all, that's 10,000 people. Frank claims to have an army of 50,000, but actually only 30,000 can be mobilized to fight. In this way, the situation is very clear - King Amapena is the popular choice!

"Well, don't be anxious, just leave them alone for now." Ryan said calmly.

"Ah? Aren't you going to take this opportunity to win over people?"

"You're the king, what do you need to win over? The entire kingdom is yours." Ryan spread his hands. "There's only one thing you need to do, and that's to suppress everyone with your unmatched firepower. Make your people not only admire you, but also fear you. Do you understand?"

Amabena skillfully took out a piece of paper and pen and said as she wrote, "I don't understand it at all, but my son or daughter will definitely understand it."

Ryan's mouth twitched slightly, thinking that with your condition, the IQ of your descendants will probably be very high too.

But...girl, just write, why are you leaning towards me for no reason? Can you move the danai away for a moment? It's blocking my view!

Ryan didn't care about Amabena's IQ. Anyway, the Kingdom of Lot would not need her to take care of it in the future. This girl just needed to be a good child.

"Next, once 'Xia Li' trains the army, we can fight our way back to the royal city."

This time we recruited more than 10,000 people for 'Xia Li', and we don't know how many will be left in the end, but even 3,000 or 4,000 will be enough.

In at most half a month, he would be able to take control of the Kingdom of Lot.

Ryan was also very anxious. He needed the power of the Lot Kingdom to back him up. Because in the Augustus Empire, because Casradi became the crown prince, Maganna suddenly waved her hand and called on all the people in the Death Contract. Together with the Iron Blood Legion, a total of 170,000 troops rushed towards the imperial capital. No one dared to stop them wherever they went!

What are you blocking?

They are going to purge the court!

Even the imperial troops were unsure of what to do against the crazy Maganna, so they retreated again and again, and were about to retreat to the last line of defense in the imperial capital Barron.

Once the Grand Duke reaches the imperial capital, the battle for the throne will enter its most intense level, and he needs to make all preparations before that.

"Perhaps I can ask the Grand Duke to slow down her offensive pace, or try to win her over?"

Ryan rubbed his chin.

To be honest, he wasn't sure how much weight he held in the Grand Duke's heart, but it seemed... quite high at the moment?
