"Then, I wish you success in conquering Yenogu’s Realm soon. When that day comes, I will definitely visit you in person to offer my congratulations." The Queen of the Succubi displayed her remarkable social skills.
She saw through things but did not expose them, considering her actions as being for Gaven’s good.
She had an air of looking favorably upon Gaven’s ambition to seize Yenogu’s Realm.
But whether she would secretly sabotage him was another matter entirely.
"If that day does arrive, I believe we could find more common interests and opportunities for collaboration." Gaven replied with a smile.
Despite being a figure that incited fear in the world, she was the enemy he least feared.
Because he had a military advantage, his Undead Army was immune to her Succubi’s charms.
She had already demonstrated her political acumen, refraining from forcing Gaven onto opposing sides.
Therefore, they had many opportunities for collaboration.
His ultimate target in the Bottomless Abyss, Prince Grazte of the Ubar, had a deep-seated enmity with the Queen of the Succubi Micanthix.
It’s said that the trouble began due to the Queen’s beauty, as Prince Grazte once courted her but was rejected.
Feeling humiliated, Prince Grazte conjured a plan to disgrace Micanthix by transforming himself into her likeness and seducing the famously ugly Angry Lord Coschek to tarnish her reputation.
The plan backfired; while it’s unknown if the Queen’s name was sullied, Angry Lord Coschek came to despise Prince Grazte, leading to frequent battles between them.
Gaven regarded it as a mere anecdote, believing the truth to be more convoluted, with many implausible elements.
After all, the Queen of the Succubi was not exactly a paragon of fidelity, her promiscuity renowned throughout the Multiverse, her many partners including a multitude of Demon Lords.
Whether or not Prince Grazte was an addition or subtraction meant little; why would she refuse his courtship?
Unless greater interests were involved.
As for Prince Grazte’s method of retaliation, it seemed even more ludicrous; there were many more grotesque beings than Angry Lord Coschek in the Bottomless Abyss.
Without mentioning others, her current spouse, the Abyssal King Dimogorgen, was a creature of grotesque fascination, earning his nickname—Double-Headed Baboon—for a reason.
At least Angry Lord Coschek retained a semblance of humanity, while Dimogorgen was never human-shaped; when Gaven once severed his appendage, it was not an arm, but a tentacle.
The cause was insignificant; what mattered was that like the King of the Jackalweres, Prince Grazte frequently waged war on the Queen of the Succubi.
The Jackalwere King’s Expeditionary Force could root in her domain because the Queen was not weak but preoccupied by Prince Grazte.
Should the chance arise to engage formidable allies against Prince Grazte, the Queen of the Succubi surely wouldn’t refuse.
Nonetheless, that’s a matter for the future.
Ultimately, strength is self-sustained.
With Gaven’s current capability, declaring war on one of the Abyss’s three major powerhouses was premature.
Even the plan to behead the King of the Jackalweres required tremendous effort and outside help.
If Prince Grazte launched an attack, his Demonic Incarnation alone overwhelmed what the Father of Combat could handle, requiring the Divine Nature Incarnation level of Lord of War, Tempus, to counter.
After reaching a consensus, the Queen of the Succubi and the Ghoul King respectively withdrew.
Understanding the maxim of seizing opportunity, they aimed to maximize benefits from the King of the Jackalweres’ captivity before the news spread.
Furthermore, it was uncertain how long the King of the Minotaurs, Baphoment, could successfully hold the Jackalwere King back.
Apart from the Queen of the Succubi taking away a charmed Divine Nature Incarnation of the Jackalwere King.
The remaining Divine Nature Incarnation and fifteen Jackalwere Chosen—none escaped, all turned into Gaven’s captives, temporarily sealed in the Lich Tower.
Father of Combat, Uthgar, having obtained the severed arm of a true form earlier, had no need for the Divine Nature Incarnation, which Gaven planned to exhaust himself.
Not necessarily by entering the Berserk Priesthood, but extracting Purified Berserk Essence was an excellent option too.
This Purified Essence was valuable to many.
The primary task was aiding Father of Combat in seizing control of the Berserk Divine Power.
With combat concluded, unreliable allies departed.
Focus shifted to purifying the Berserk Divine Power, as the Flame of Purification surged exponentially.
A howl! A dreadful wail emitted from within the Berserk Divine Power, the voice of the Jackalwere King. ƒгeeweɓn૦vel.com
His Divine Soul Imprint was being rapidly incinerated and erased.
"My servants, lend me your strength, let us fully become the masters of berserk, bringing this force under our control." The Father of War proclaimed loudly.
His voice transcended spatial barriers, reaching into Felen and into the souls of high-level Totem Spirits in the Ancestral Mound of the Uthgar Barbarians.
Roars! Chirps! Howls!
Their massive forms manifested in the Ancestral Mound.
Black Lion, Black Crow, Blue Bear, Elk, Golden Eagle, Gray Wolf, Giant Insect, Gryphon, Red Horse, Red Tiger, Pegasus, Thunder Beast.
Twelve high-level Totem Spirits symbolizing the twelve Uthgar Barbarian Tribes, they were worshipped as totems, regarded as their Ancestral Spirits.
Upon their manifestation, they unanimously entered into a berserk state.
"The Ancestral Spirits have manifested, they’re summoning us."
"No, this isn’t merely a call from the Ancestral Spirits; it is the sacred will of our Father... Praise our Father Uthgar..."
"Roar... Praise our Father... I can now use berserk abilities... Although I haven’t reached the Professional Level... This is our Father’s divine blessing..."
"Praise our Father..."
Under the guidance of the high-level Totem Spirits, not only did those with berserk abilities among the Uthgar Barbarians unanimously enter berserk.
Even many youths or women who initially lacked berserk abilities were inspired into such a state.
This honor was naturally attributed to the Father of Combat Uthgar, whom they esteemed as a father.
Phantoms streamed out from the Father of Combat’s body, diving into the sphere of Berserk Divine Power.
