Chapter 417: Destroying a World?! ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
“Alright, listen well. Here’s what you’ll do…”
Jack didn’t waste any time. She had barely professed her obedience, and he instantly exploited it, giving her lots of orders. Then, over the next few weeks:
[A Certain Lizard Girl Gained “Tiny-Evil” Title!]
[A Certain Lizard Girl Poisoned Her Father!]
[A Certain Lizard Girl Usurped the Estate!]
And Jack had even more free reigns once her father was out of the picture. No, it was more accurate to say that Lizzy did, a scheming and horrendous mentor whispering in her ear.
Weeks turned into years, the tiny Lizard girl growing up shockingly fast.
[A Certain Lizard Girl Murdered Her First Innocent!]
[A Certain Lizard Girl Learned of Gambling!]
[A Certain Lizard Girl Ate Lizard Flesh!]
[A Certain Lizard Girl is Growing!]
She followed behind him like a small puppy, her trust flourishing more and more as he brought her on what could only be called the road to evil. Yet, to her, it didn’t seem like it.
The people she killed? Innocent, but all trouble-causing idiots!
The gambling she did? What she lost went to charity.
The cannibalism? Now, that was a passage rite.
To her, Jack’s crazed orders were filled with light. No longer was she getting beaten daily, no longer did she fear the town, and no longer did she curse her own powers.
This was all thanks to him. This was his gift to her!
[Ding! Reached Unwavering Max Affinity with Lizzy!]
As soon as Jack received that notification, he knew. From now on, no matter what he asked, her affinity wouldn’t go down. This dream had felt like years, but it had been worth it!
That’s when he turned toward Lizzy, one that he himself could barely recognize.
The scrawny despairing young girl that was nothing but a punching bag had turned to an heroic-looking woman full of life, from her clawed toes to her respectable chest.
[̶A̶ C̶e̶r̶t̶a̶i̶n̶ L̶i̶z̶a̶r̶d̶ G̶i̶r̶l̶ S̶h̶i̶v̶e̶r̶s̶ U̶n̶d̶e̶r̶ Y̶o̶u̶r̶ G̶a̶z̶e̶!̶
[A Certain Lizard Woman Awaits Your Order!]
“Lizzy, show me everything!”
“~Yes, Master!”
With this, he’d have access to her deepest memories! With this, he’d have access to— but then he stilled. Wait, no, he had meant the memories and her soul, not this!
Lizzy happily dropped all barriers, and all clothes.
As a naked lizard girl appeared before him, Jack couldn’t help but still.
Her sturdy scales glittered under the candlelight, yet her entire being looked incredibly soft nonetheless, and a certain part so damn pink. Then, there was the light in her eyes.
Draconic eyes filled with desire. She was akin to a dragon seeing a mountain of gold, except she was staring straight at him. And as he felt her wild desire….
Jack actually went on the offensive, striking first!
[Penetrated Lizzy’s Mental Defenses!]
[She Quivers Under Your Probing!]
[Gushing with Hidden Memories!]
[Overflowing With Mana!]
As Jack made all that was hers his, the entire realm trembled. With every expert movement of his, she’d explode with enough Mana to cause a natural catastrophe!
So much Mana that the air turned explosive!
So much Mana that dimensional tears appeared!
So much Mana that the fabric of the world was crumbling!
“Ahhh!!!!”
And with one last moan…
[Ding! You’ve Destroyed this World!]
[New Title: World-Shattering D. Master!]
[Please DO NOT use this in Terra Forma!]
But Jack couldn’t see any of it. As soon as she utterly capitulated under him, a terrifying flux of memories suddenly invaded him, memories not just about this place either.
He saw her REAL memories for the first time, not ones tinted by her insecurities or his meddling either. He saw the Lizzy on the outside world as she would truly be.
— The world she belonged to
— Her strained relationship with her Father
— The weight of being from the Regen Family
— Even the crazed and dark secret behind her family’s rise to power.
Back when the Lizardmen had been exiled to this prison, they had merely been a regular family. In a world full of Mana, healing fast was nothing too crazy.
But it had all changed with this new world, this new prison. Here, resources were scarcer than ever. And yet, their healing blood still worked as well as before?!
The Regen family had grown stronger…
The Regen family had grown wealthier as alchemists…
Except there was no alchemy, only their own blood that they sold non-stop. Who knew the family that appeared so strong had to do something so lowly in the background?!
And yet, they were about to lose it all soon. There were rumors of a new world opening, one full of magic, one where they would be cannon fodder again.
And that brought them all to this day, with Jack back in the pink castle, in a supply closet with the same destitute sign as earlier. < ♡ Lizzy’s Happy Castle of Dreams! ♡ >
“Back at square one, eh? That sure was a ride!”
[Now Is Not the Time to Reminisce!]
[Warning! Warning! Warning!]
[SHE is powerfully coming!]
“She sure did…”
But that’s when it happened. Out of nowhere, the castle wall exploded, sending grime and dust everywhere! And then SHE appeared, as if straight out of an evil Kool-aid ad!
< Ancestral Crimson Shaman-Princess Lizzy! Lv 90! ☠🦎🩸>
In her left claw, she was dragging a minced-up shadow.
As for her right claw? It was reserved for him!
— DASH! DASH! DASH! DASH! —
She was so fast she seemed to teleport to him, grabbing him by the throat and raising him to high Heavens! And as he turned purpler and purpler from the pressure, she grinned.
“I dare you to escape this! You sure were slippery, but it ends now as—” except she couldn’t even finish her sentence. There was something definitely wrong with this human?!
Why was he not panicking in the least?
Why was he looking at her as if an old friend?
Why was he reminiscing while staring at her chest?!
At this moment, Jack couldn’t help but sigh inwardly. Where had the lizard girl he knew, so easily corruptible, gone? Perhaps he should have enjoyed the earlier dream a bit more.
But it wasn’t like he could keep reminiscing, either. That’s when he powerfully raised a hand, reached for the Shaman-Princess, and powerfully used Death Touch!
[Ding! Target is Well-Versed in Soul Magic!]
[Soul Corruption Highly Ineffective!]
[Warning, You’re Dying!]
[-12]
[-11]
[-14]
Yet, Jack kept going…
As for what he was doing, why did it seem so weird?! He was still attacking, but why did his attack look more like caressing than attacking? And why was he just using one finger?!
He traced her collarbone…
He traced her slender neck…
He even traced her shapely breasts….
“You, I’LL KILL YOU! No, I’ll make you regret being—” Once more, she couldn’t even finish her sentence. Was it because of his confidence? No, it was because of his touch!
As he kept tracing, it awakened something primal in her. She suddenly found herself shocked and slightly terrified, too?! Was it because of his tantalizing touch? Nope!
All this time, Jack had been tracing? He had been writing! All the crackling energy that seemingly had no effect all formed letters that assembled into insanity.
He knew everything about her.
He knew everything about her family.
He knew everything about her sabotage goal… AND PLAN!
The shock was so big that she relaxed her grip for an instant, and suddenly, he was out, but instead of running away, he gently patted her head as if one would a loved one.
“At this rate, you’ll fail, you know? Poisoning the Newborns is a pretty solid plan to buy time, but buying time won’t do shit. But don’t worry, your luck’s actually amazing: I’m here!”
As he lowly chuckled, she felt as if she had been playing into his hand this whole time! He felt like an invincible scheming devil that nothing would stop.
’No, it’s a bluff for sure!’
A second ago, he had been at her mercy!
There was no way that he could do anything about her issues! This guy was merely…
“Merely a weak human? Merely a weak human summoned by a dragon himself? Merely a weak human who’s been toying with you. Merely a weak human who’s still your best bet!”
He kept repeating weak human repeatedly, yet something was incredibly wrong with the picture! This was a Soul-Realm, and with very “weak”, he changed.
He went from a weak soul to an incredible Demon King.
He went from weakling to overwhelming tyrant.
He went from useless to all-encompassing.
Feeling his aura, Lizzy’s scaly body shivered endlessly. Her level and power? It suddenly felt so empty compared to his tyranny. So much that she couldn’t help but gasp.
As for Jack, he simply gave her a familiar grin, one full of excitement, one that he had practiced a million times a little earlier. “Alright, listen well. Here’s what you’ll do…”
[Successfully Convinced a Certain Lizard Girl!]
[Is This What Humans Call Déjà-vue?!]
[Reminder: Host Is Currently A Soul!]
Hehe, of course, Jack remembered! In fact, this soul status of his would play wonderfully in his new plan. Oh, he could already sense the fun, the gains, and the upcoming chaos!
Soon, he’d have an amazing new body…
