Chapter 2467 - 1088: Abyssal Arms Trade (Part 3)
But with the great battle imminent, the other side is the core of our combat power, so this move cannot be used.The Queen of the Succubi just reminded Gaven that the other side wields Revenge Divine Power, and future punitive measures against her would indeed require careful consideration; a slight indiscretion could lead to counterproductive outcomes.
Not only could it fail to teach her the necessary lessons, but it might also foster resentment towards me, making me a target of her revenge.
This is likely the Queen of the Succubi’s seasoned insight because her ally, the King of the Minotaurs, also wields Revenge Divine Power.
Gaven, with slight irritation, sent a Psychic Whisper to the Queen of the Succubi: "Ladies, please give me a heads-up next time. If I make the wrong choice, won’t that achieve the opposite effect?"
The Queen of the Succubi replied with confident assurance: "I do not misjudge people. You will undoubtedly respond correctly because it’s instinctive for you. To gain Lady Putana’s favor and trust, such instinctual reactions are essential. Any sign of deliberate design may be detected by her and could produce the opposite effect."
Upon reflection, Gaven conceded the point; after all, the other party is now a demigod, with perception and charisma dauntingly high, and in this aspect, particularly sensitive.
Even the best act is still an act and might expose inconsistencies, whereas genuine reactions are far more direct.
In terms of human nature, the Queen of the Succubi has it mastered proficiently.
She’s not just ensnaring the Flame Queen but also Gaven, fully aware of his worries and meticulously restraining her Charming Divine Power to appear as harmless as possible.
"The lady may remain, but I have a condition." Gaven considered the pros and cons and ultimately agreed to let the demonic incarnation of the Queen of the Succubi stay.
After all, this is just the beginning of cooperation between parties; evasion isn’t a solution, seeking a positive resolution is preferable.
Moreover, in opposing the King of the Jackalweres and Prince Grazte of the Ubar, he is firmly aligned with the Queen of the Succubi, as his interests irreconcilably clash with the former two.
As long as the Queen of the Succubi doesn’t betray me, I will absolutely not betray her; there’s little need for excessive caution in our actions.
Besides offering formidable high-level combat power, she can provide a wealth of intelligence on both allies and enemies, especially concerning Prince Grazte of the Ubar, which Gaven notably lacks.
"What conditions?" The Queen of the Succubi found herself somewhat unable to follow Gaven’s train of thought.
Gaven summoned a Skeleton Giant, pointed at him, and stated: "Normally, the lady can only direct its activities. Without my summons, she cannot leave its cockpit."
The armor on the chest of the Skeleton Giant lifted, revealing a sealed cockpit with ample space, enough for a person to live comfortably inside. Given its giant body type, its height rivals a six-story building, complicated multi-level villas could be constructed within its chest and abdomen.
Since the other’s charisma is astonishing, it shall be concealed; out of sight, many of the Queen of the Succubi’s abilities will be significantly limited.
Blinding oneself is the last resort mortals employ to resist the lure of demons.
However, even this still renders one a sheep to be slaughtered, unable to escape the fate of being toyed with and tormented by succubi.
"Can the undead be used in such a way?" The Queen of the Succubi, not sensing the humiliation of being imprisoned, instead felt a keen interest towards the Skeleton Giant, voluntarily flying into the cockpit, observing it with admiration, "No wonder your Undead Slaughter Army can flawlessly execute your strategies and tactics. It turns out you’re using puppet manipulation to control these non-intelligent assembled undead.
Assembled undead don’t require high-level souls; as long as you have sufficient soul energy, you can create as many as you like.
A low-level Sage Undead commander is all you need to harness combat power not inferior to that of a high-level Sage Undead.
It’s simply a genius-level concept; no wonder the Ghoul King and the King of the Jackalweres have been so miserably tormented by you, their loss isn’t unjustified."
Analyzing to the end, the Queen of the Succubi’s eyes sparkled with excitement.
She had already realized the extraordinary war potential of Gaven’s Undead Slaughter Army, but hadn’t anticipated such magnitude.
Their war potential hasn’t been fully tapped; he currently possesses insufficient soul energy. If it could be multiplied several times, or even dozens of times, could they rally a counterattack against Prince Grazte of the Ubar?
Eventually, the Queen of the Succubi was delightfully overwhelmed, surprised to have unearthed such treasure, inadvertently acquiring a potentially limitless ally, one she must diligently control and utilize.
After listening to the other’s analysis, Gaven felt a mix of pride and resignation.
Negotiating with such entities is mentally exhausting, revealing one’s vulnerabilities with minor mishaps.
Since it’s already exposed, Gaven decided to make the most of it: "If the lady is interested, I can sell in large quantities, not just these Skeleton Giants, but also Shadow Flying Devices. However many you want, I can provide."
This counts as an arms business; whether Skeleton Giants or Shadow Flying Devices, they are unique weapons.
"You certainly plan well, intending to use others’ soul energy to promote your own Divine Nature Force." The Queen of the Succubi couldn’t help but praise again.
In the Bottomless Abyssal trade, material plane currency obviously isn’t usable. Here, only one hard currency exists—souls.
Even trading equal amounts of soul energy with Gaven means he profits handsomely.
Once soul energy is molded into Undead Slaughter Spirits, control of the Divine Nature Force transfers to him, while buyers only obtain usage rights, and cannot use them against Gaven.
"Just let me know if you want it or not." Gaven was confident in victory.
Currently in the Bottomless Abyss, whether Skeleton Giants or Shadow Flying Devices, he is the sole provider without a competitor.
Imitating them is not easy, requiring mastery not only of Undead Divine Power but also Divine-level bone manipulation capabilities.
Strictly speaking, both Gaven and his counterparts are beginning to venture into the Divine Position of bone manipulation, the very essence of the Bone Plane.
This is an extremely niche divine position, previously not sub-divided, even the former demon lord Bone King of the Plains of Bone barely approached its threshold before being eradicated.
