When the pirates realized something was wrong with the car, the doors were already welded shut.
They tried to escape with the Heavenly Demon power… but found their bodies completely out of control.
That power from the Heavenly Demon easily seized control of their bodies, even influencing their thoughts!
They uncontrollably began to feel loyalty and an insurmountable obedience toward Klaus.
They were wholeheartedly and completely dominated by the will of the Heavenly Demon, only wanting to dedicate themselves entirely to it.
Whatever Klaus ordered them to do, they would definitely give their all and complete it wholeheartedly.
“Why, Lord, why…”
The Grand Commander trembled in fear, wanting to shake off the Heavenly Demon power controlling him, but found he couldn’t.
The Heavenly Demon power changed from its previous gentle and deceptive demeanor, brutally transforming his body completely.
From that moment on, he could never defy the Heavenly Demon’s orders.
Why? How would I know? Klaus secretly complained.
I’m just like these pirates—whatever the Boss says, I have to do it!
“Now, your mission is to take care of all the people you captured and send them safely home one by one.” Klaus obediently read out Jiang Ke’er’s orders.
“If there are injured or sick, perform emergency first aid first, then give priority to sending them to a good nearby hospital. All medical expenses will be paid by you.”
The pirates were beyond tears.
Something’s wrong! This Heavenly Demon is wrong!
Even the gods aren’t this considerate! What’s up with this Heavenly Demon?
In the blink of an eye, half a month had passed since the pirates captured the sacrifices.
During this half month, the most common sight for nearby residents was this—
Old Lady Wang was worrying about crossing the street. Though the intersection wasn’t bustling, it was still busy with traffic.
With her aged body, if she fell while crossing, she might never get up again.
Just then, a strong and powerful thick hand reached out from the side and gently grabbed her arm.
“Auntie, let me help you cross the street!”
Old Lady Wang looked up and saw a fierce face with a knife scar and a black eyepatch.
She was so startled she nearly had a heart attack and collapsed.
The man seemed to carry a murderous aura; people around didn’t dare breathe, guessing whether Old Lady Wang had offended some terrible existence.
Yet in this eerie atmosphere, the man helped the trembling Old Lady Wang calmly to the other side of the street.
After doing all this, he truly had no intention of harming her and turned to leave!
Old Lady Wang felt guilty for her suspicion and couldn’t help asking, “Young man! Thank you, what’s your name?”
The man waved his hand coolly, showing a smile uglier than crying.
“No need to thank me! My name is Heavenly Demon!”
“???”
The key point is, this wasn’t a one-time event.
In recent days, the same scene played out everywhere at every moment.
Sometimes rescuing helpless girls surrounded by thugs in dark alleys.
Sometimes escorting students who missed exams due to accidents.
Sometimes helping retrieve balloons stuck in trees.
Sometimes picking down a cat trapped on a beam.
Even enduring burns to save a family of three from a raging fire.
Risking death to pull a fisherman out of the sea against giant waves.
The legend of the nameless heroes spread rapidly across the land of Shenzhou every day, every second.
Though their faces differed and their appearances were fierce, each one brought warmth like winter fire to Shenzhou, warming hearts.
If someone insisted on asking their name, they would smile, leave a cool silhouette, and say:
“No need to thank me! My name is Heavenly Demon!”
Seeing the Orthodox Points rising every day, Jiang Ke’er’s mouth was crooked from smiling.
She felt she was truly a big villain with a talent for doing evil.
The Ancient God was right to pick her!
‘Like hell it is!’
Jiang Ke’er thought she heard the sound of Epsilon’s mental breakdown.
[Using the power of the Ancient God to farm Star Points…] The Villain System stared at her frantically. [Don’t you have a conscience?]
“No, you don’t understand.” Jiang Ke’er shook her head. “You people’s understanding of ‘bad guy’ is still at the first level, while I’m already at the fifth.”
[Heh.]
“Look, bad and good are opposites, right? That means we bad guys are against good guys, irreconcilable!” Jiang Ke’er patiently explained to her.
“So?”
“So, we should walk the good guys’ path! Leave them with nowhere to go!” Jiang Ke’er looked into the distance, hands on her hips, and said proudly.
“Hehe! We’ll do good deeds like crazy and piss them off!”
[…???]
What the hell.
But somehow it sounds reasonable?
“You’re a genius!” The Nine-tailed Dharma Aspect’s shocked voice came from behind Jiang Ke’er.
“Thank goodness you didn’t choose the Stars… Epsilon really hit the jackpot with you.”
“Not at all,” Jiang Ke’er felt that was slander.
She was clearly trying hard to be a good Ancient God and fulfill Epsilon’s last wish.
The Ancient God’s goal is conquest, right?
He never said how to conquer.
Conquest doesn’t necessarily have to rely on force, does it?
“I’ve received quite a few complaints lately. The pirate outfits are too scary, easily frightening the neighbors,” Jiang Ke’er thought for a moment and said.
“Next, please have those missing arms or legs remove the hooks from their arms. Those with one blind eye, get an eye transplant and take off the eyepatch. Those with scars on their faces, get some cosmetic surgery, fix your looks, at your own expense.”
“You’re basically taking away the last shred of their dignity,” Qiao Xiaoxian said with a twitching mouth.
“If you do that, they’ll kill themselves.”
“It’s fine, don’t worry. I won’t let them kill themselves. Even if they want to, they can’t.” Jiang Ke’er showed a kind smile.
“And even if they do, it’s useless.”
Oh right, even if these guys die, they can’t escape.
That devil is also the Queen of the Earth…
“This world is too dark, too dark!” Klaus said with a crying face.
“I want to go back to the Sea Trench. Master, please, let me go!”
Klaus had transformed into a girl’s appearance, a red-haired little demoness.
“No, I still need you to manage those pirates.”
“I’m a villain!” Klaus was so upset she felt like crying.
“You’re going too far, you’re… you’re simply…”
Klaus thought hard about what adjective to use.
After racking her brains, she finally found the right word.
She cried loudly, “It’s like forcing a prostitute to become a nun!”
Which is very evil
