Zongman: Evolution Paradise

Jolyne replied in a good mood.

After leaving the Fate world, his strength increased by more than several times.

Seven talents, nine max-level skills, and these powers can be arranged and combined.

To familiarize himself with his powers, Jolyne naturally underwent practical combat training in the Infinity Castle.

However, Jolyne was too strong, whether it was Jorogumo, Esdeath, or Anna. Although she could feel her own strength increasing, she never had a clear sense of it.

Now let's crush the noobs.

Jolyne could barely contain her laughter.

Watching the strange tales where people lost the ability to resist simply because of the [demon's] [killing intent], Jolyne also felt a kind of joy from the mowing game.

Looking at the candy cage that confined her, Jolyne said softly, "Breath of the Wind."

The next moment, the skill [Breathing of the Wind] was directly summoned by the talent [Tongue Sword].

A gentle breeze blew by, and the cage made of candy crumbled into pieces.

"It's too sweet, a bit cloying."

After taking a bite, Jolyne confirmed that the sweetness of this candy from a Western fairy tale was excessive. She picked up a piece and handed it to Nakano Satsuki, who had been eagerly anticipating eating from this candy shop, and then took a step forward.

His uniform, which had been transformed from the [Yinluofu], returned to its original state.

It was an ordinary black trench coat.

However, the effect of [Demon Lord] left bizarre tattoos on this trench coat, resembling ukiyo-e prints, from all the ghost stories that Jolyne controlled.

These ukiyo-e prints, when combined, became known as the "Tai Sui" fortune, which attracts strange tales.

The witch struggled to lift her head, sensing Jolyne getting closer and closer. Confused as to when she had offended someone like this, she cried out at the top of her lungs, "I'm still useful! Don't kill me!"

Chapter 369 Gingerbread Man

"I am a witch, and the Lettuce Territory outside the Strange Word Forest is also ruled by a witch."

Moreover, my desserts are very famous, and people come to collect them at night. If they don't receive my desserts, the witch will find out.

That was a very powerful witch, uh…

Faced with such a crisis, the witch racked her brains trying to save her own life, but before she could even state her conditions, Jolyne had already manipulated the shadows to pierce through her body.

Carrying it to the workshop, Jolyne emerged with a search report in her hand.

Ghost Stories - The Gingerbread Witch

Constitution - Fairy Tale Ghost Stories: A fairy tale ghost story series that is completely different from the urban legend series. This series of ghost stories often gives birth to some more twisted, evil, powerful, fairy tale-like forces.

Ability - Candy House Summoning: You can summon a fully equipped candy house, so you'll never have to carry a 32-year mortgage again.

Ability - Breadman Transformation: You can continuously grow larger into a terrifying breadman, with high resistance to physical attacks, but you will be more vulnerable to fire.

Ability - Gingerbread Man Creation: You can consume energy to create gingerbread men that can exist indefinitely. Gingerbread men possess simple wisdom and strength.

"Wow, that's quite an ability."

After reading the report, Jolyne couldn't wait to collect some fairy tales and ghost stories with special abilities.

Jolyne was particularly drawn to the gingerbread witch's ability to create gingerbread men.

The workshop's description stated that gingerbread men can be preserved indefinitely once they are made.

Isn't this just an army?

They actually called a whole truckload of gingerbread men to come down and fight!

"So I survived?"

The witch asked in a low voice.

Although she didn't understand what had happened, she noticed that Jolyne had restrained her murderous intent.

"Maybe."

Joren glanced at her face and said, "You're a bit ugly. My Yinluofu won't accept you. Whether you survive or not depends on what use you are."

This gingerbread witch is only slightly better looking than the evil spirits that fly around everywhere in the main world; she's too much of an eyesore for Jolyne, who's used to the looks of Kallen and the others.

After all, even the rarest ability can be extracted from the workshop and transferred to someone else.

The reason we haven't done so now is actually due to another reason.

That was Nakano Satsuki's trial.

Jolyne has now entered Nakano Satsuki's trial by smuggling herself in.

Considering all factors, although the park hasn't warned them yet, it's always wise to be careful not to provoke the park too recklessly.

Therefore, Jolyne needs a character from the story who has no connection to him to help him at this point.

Hmm... he has no occult connection to it.

The gingerbread witch they encountered was a complete stranger to Jolyne.

That's why Joren didn't use [Yinluo Lingfu] to subdue her directly, but instead used his killing intent to intimidate her.

"ugly?"

The witch's face stiffened; she wanted to get angry, but she valued her life even more.

"Nino is also a sucker for good looks."

Nakano Satsuki glanced at the witch and nodded, admitting that she was indeed very ugly.

With a candy in her mouth, Nakano Satsuki also felt that it was too sweet and lacked many advantages compared to the products of proper dessert shops in the main world.

This left Satsuki Nakano, who had been eager to try the candy shop from the very beginning, feeling a little disappointed.

Pointing at Satsuki Nakano, Jolyne said, "From now on, your name is the Gingerbread Witch, and your mission is to protect her at all times."

Hmm... just treat yourself like a slave.

"I have……"

Just as the gingerbread witch was about to say that she had a name, a murderous intent made her feel as if she had fallen into an ice cellar.

Even without eyeballs, her empty eyes understood that Jolyne was looking at her.

"Slave? Name?"

Are you forcing me to give up my dignity?

I'm the witch that everyone in the Strange Words Forest trembles with fear!

I won't, I absolutely won't..."

The witch chose to remain silent because she dared not refuse.

But she struggles within her own mind, because she is a self-aware ghost.

In witch legends, unlike the people who are confined to their territory for their entire lives, they love to bathe, enjoy research and reading, and will seclude themselves in the forest where no one lives. Gingerbread witches, born from these legends, have a rather rebellious spirit.

Simply put, it's a case of hitting rock bottom and then rebounding. I'm willing to do things for you to survive, but you're asking me to kneel down and act like a dog, which I simply can't submit to.

Seeing this, Jolyne asked in surprise, "Do you think you're that important?"

Please, it's just a ghost story, and it's about someone who looks like a crazy woman. Do you expect me, Jolyne, to figure out your little thoughts and comfort you?

Not willing?

Then let's kill it and get a new one.

The [Demon Lord] uses his talent to collect karma, extracts the seeds of power and energy from his workshop, and finally throws the remaining remnant souls into the Yin Luo Spirit Mansion to transform into spring mud to protect the flowers.

"To be honest, following me might be your only chance to reach the top in your life."

Jolyne reached out her hand without hesitation, but she was particularly puzzled by the effect of [End Watcher]. Putting aside the talent itself, Jolyne's [Skill - Leadership] had been devoured by [End Watcher].

As for [Leadership], one of the special effects chosen for it at the time was to command the weak.

But now, looking at this ghost story, it seems that she has considerable resistance to the order she was given to make her a slave.

That's when.

The witch, who had been silent all along, stopped trembling.

"I am willing to be a slave."

From now on, there will only be gingerbread witches.

Under Jolyne's astonished gaze, the way she lowered her head was exactly like a wife in a Japanese adult film who was being forced to smile and humiliate while facing her husband.

This expression couldn't move Jolyne, since his usual response was: "It's too late. In your next life, be more decisive and then kill him while you're at it."

What truly astonished Jolyne was the [Human Girl Mutual Aid Manual]!

Jolyne took out the pink book and found that a page suddenly had an illustration of the Gingerbread Witch.

It was a woman with her eyes covered by a black veil, and succubus horns on either side of her curly black hair. She sat by the window of the castle, embroidering clothes in her hands. Below the castle was a war waged by an army of gingerbread men.

Jolyne was already used to the style of the character illustrations; the real problem was the affinity level after clicking on the character.

Gingerbread Witch: 100

Maximum affection level?

Just now, your affection for me hadn't reached the minimum value required to be included in the [Humanoid Girl Mutual Aid Manual], and now it's jumped to the maximum value?

Please, are you Muzan Kibutsuji?

Jolyne inexplicably remembered that she had almost killed Muzan Kibutsuji before, but in order to save his own life, he instantly twisted her favorability towards him to the maximum value.

But I haven't done anything yet!

In fact, let's look back at the previous minute.

First, Jolyne wanted her to be a slave, then the gingerbread witch silently resisted, so Jolyne said a few words and decided to kill the ghost.

Is that all? Your favorability rating is maxed out?

Chapter 370 Ghost Stories Derivatives

"what happened?"

Nakano Satsuki asked cautiously, wondering why Jolyne's expression changed so quickly.

Seeing Jolyne's attitude towards the gingerbread witch, Satsuki Nakano and the sisters inside her body have unknowingly undergone some changes in their mindset.

They knew Jolyne. Although Nakano Maruo told the Quintessential Quintuplets to be wary of Jolyne, Nakano Satsuki always felt that Jolyne was a good person.

Now, they suddenly realize that the players' behavior is really a bit "demonic".

This is certainly not a ghost story of pity.

Without Jolyne as their protector, they would have been swallowed by the gingerbread witch.

The Quintessential Quintuplets suddenly realized that this was no longer the society governed by the rule of law they had imagined, but a world where strength truly reigned supreme.

With strength, you have everything.

You can uphold your own morals, or you can wantonly trample on the dignity of the weak.

The weak have no choice. Even the most gifted ascendants ultimately become nothing more than a symbol of the destructive power of the Monkey King.

The everyday worldview formed over the previous eighteen years had already collapsed this morning, but only now have they realized the consequences of their extraordinary existence.

The Quintessential Quintuplets suddenly realized that if they didn't have a powerful Nakano Maruo protecting them, then if Jolyne were to suddenly become savage and turn them into cream puffs, or even, as Kasumigaoka Utaha said, "each of the five sisters would take turns," then who could resist?

"fine."

Jolyne was genuinely conflicted at this moment.

Goodwill isn't limited to romantic love; it can also include familial affection, friendship, and even certain distorted psychological states. Although this ghost story's level of affection for itself is definitely not normal, it's still a cherished maximum.

Should he still kill him?

After glancing at Satsuki Nakano, Jolyne ultimately decided to leave the gingerbread witch to work for the time being, and deal with the rest later.
