The Lord Demon King is Unfathomable!

Damn it... Is that the limit of this body?

Finally, the merciful Demon King couldn't bring himself to bully a cub and rescued it.

"Sarah."

"But, Lord Demon King..."

Looking at Sarah who had turned back, Luo Yan spoke in a gentle yet undeniable tone.

"It's already in such a state, why not give it a break."

"Yes..." Sarah hesitated for a moment, then finally dropped her dagger, quietly retreating to Alakdo's side.

Disappointed, Alakdo glanced at Sarah with a "truly useless" expression and gave up.

Even though he had returned from the brink of death, Gutaf didn't appreciate it. Instead, he flushed with humiliation and blustered.

"Just you wait... Once the starships of the Zeta Empire descend upon this planet, I'll make you all into canned goods! Do you understand? You're doomed! If you're smart, bow your heads obediently, this is your last chance... In light of the fact that I don't completely dislike you, I can make you king of the monkeys on the trees."

Ha.

This guy sure has a big mouth, did he forget what he wrote in his log?

Luo Yan chuckled, jokingly looking at the furious brat.

"Then call in the Zeta Empire. If you really call them here, I won't buy a house in the Holy City, I'll buy one in your place. Once your starships arrive, we'll all join forces and develop the monkey mines on this planet, wouldn't it be great."

Gutaf's expression froze, like a small parrot choked on a piece of food, and after a long pause, he sullenly said.

"...To deal with you, there's no need for the Imperial Starship, just a flick of my nail can make you disappear into ashes."

How could he possibly summon that thing?

If the Zeta Empire could manage here, he wouldn't have fallen to this sorry state.

Luo Yan ended the topic with a simple "oh", suddenly thinking of something, and looked at him with interest as he continued, "Speaking seriously, I'm curious, how did you turn into an egg."

Gutaf was originally holding his chin up in a defiant manner, but upon hearing this question, his eyes started to dart around, and he awkwardly wagged his tail, his voice growing softer and softer.

"That... was purely an accident. There was a glitch when I was changing bodies, and I don't know the specifics... but that's not important! I'm back now!"

It seems he doesn't know that in his sleep, he was betrayed by his own children.

Luo Yan didn't tell him this sad piece of history, but continued to say.

"Can you still sense your Divine attribute?"

Gutaf smirked.

"Ha, such a trivial matter is naturally no problem for me..."

Before he finished speaking, his face slightly stiffened, and he looked at Luo Yan with a hint of fear in his eyes.

"...What did you do?"

The Divine attribute that had always been there to fulfill his every wish...

He couldn't sense it!

Luo Yan showed an 'I suspected as much' expression and, somewhat regretfully, looked at Gutaf and said.

"I did nothing, but I can probably guess what happened to you."

"Your Divine attribute has already left you."

What a pity.

He originally wanted to eat this fish twice, but now he could only use it as a mount.

Gutaf misunderstood something from his expression, and angrily shouted with grief.

"I will eat you!"

The roar had no threat, as even Alakdo was unfazed, let alone Luo Yan who sat on its back.

"I said, I did nothing, and I advise you not to think like that, otherwise... I can't always control my subordinates."

As he spoke, Sarah and Alakdo's faces became unfriendly.

Gutaf's face turned rigid.

Realizing he humiliated himself, the corner of his eye twitched, trying hard to squeeze out a cold expression to maintain a fragile dignity, then closed his open mouth.

"I... was just warming up, that's all."

No one responded to him.

His tail quivered slightly, and he cursed through gritted teeth.

"What a bunch of impolite monkeys..."

Unexpectedly being bullied by a few nasty monkeys, Gutaf's anger was accompanied by a surge of despair.

The once proud head slowly lowered, and it squatted on the ground like a golden little loach, its backbone hollowed out by reality.

That was a century's accumulation for it.

Rising from the wilderness, building self-awareness from the chaos, and condensing the core of Divine power from the worship of countless believers... That even became the reason for its existence.

It admitted it might not be a qualified Divine being, causing suffering to its believers again and again, but it still honestly believed... it was doing it for their good.

Of course.

It admitted to having selfish motives too.

Perhaps due to underdeveloped brain functions, its emotional control didn't match someone who lived for hundreds of years.

Luo Yan didn't know exactly how long it lived, with historical records full of contradicting accounts, some scholars even believe it still lives today, dwelling with the hidden Giant Dragons, and others think it fell in the decisive battle with the Netherworld God.

However, from the logs, it appeared to have lived quite a long time, considering the frequent body swapping before being ended by its own followers.

Seeing its current miserable state, Luo Yan found no humor in mocking it, instead sighing lightly and saying.

"Accept reality. The Dragon God is the Dragon God, and you are Gutaf. Personality is part of the soul, which may reincarnate with your soul, but the Divine attribute won't."

"'It' was something born from your soul and the souls of your believers—like a balloon in your hand. Once you let go, it flies away and becomes a cloud in the sky, no matter how reluctant you both are."
