Chapter 81 General Castor
Generally, Demon Race generals have robust physiques. General Miba, for example, is nearly 3 meters tall.
But what about Castor?
Although Castor’s body appears well-built, it’s not something that can be described as robust.
He’s only about 1.8 meters tall, and even a bit thin – meaning, if you didn’t see his face, you might mistake him for an old aristocrat who walked out of some kingdom, completely lacking combat power.
But what then?
The moment you see Castor’s eyes, you’ll completely change your mind.
Because those eyes are almost perfectly pure and condensed, with the only possibility revealed being –
“Calm madness.”
Yes, this is the only aura Lonis could feel.
Unlike a madman armed with a bomb, ready to detonate at any moment; or like Mortak, who hides in the shadows and only lets out cold laughter.
Castor, on the other hand, exudes a chilling pressure that is both terrifyingly rational and intensely mad. Although these are two completely different attributes, they are fused together in him in a most peculiar way.
Even though they are enemies, Lonis feels an indescribable charm emanating from Castor.
…
“Brave Miss, you’ve arrived.”
“Yes, we have.”
Lonis and Elus stepped forward, side by side.
And with that single step?
Lonis felt an indescribable pressure!
It was as if…
The air condensed in this space had been sucked dry, replaced by incredibly heavy and toxic mercury.
Making it difficult to breathe and to control oneself.
However, this feeling of pressure only lasted for an instant.
Lonis was startled, and then she realized that the Eight-tailed Fox and Isumi had walked behind her, as if they had provided some sort of assistance.
…
“Ah, even Miss Isumi, the successor of the Orange Abyss, Miss Lian Lan, the successor of the Deep Sea, and my old friend, Miss Flook, have arrived. This is quite a grand occasion.”
“Haha, it would be a shame not to catch up during such a rare reunion, wouldn’t it? Castor.”
“Haha…”
Facing the Eight-tailed Fox’s provocation, Castor didn’t get angry. He simply chuckled noncommittally.
…
But what about General Miba behind him?
He wasn’t so calm. His cheeks were flushed red, a sign of extreme anger. “Damn it, you damn humans! I get it, you not only tricked me before, but you dared to mock me! This time, I’ll make you pay!!!”
“Oh, are we going to war? Haha, I won’t be beaten by you, Miba.”
Candelle flexed her fists, eager to fight.
However…
Lonis took a deep breath and addressed everyone:
“Everyone, we are not here to fight… Because if we want to fight, we can do it anytime, right?”
“Huh?”
“But this is the only chance for communication… I don’t think Castor wants to fight right now, does he?”
“That’s right. I prefer talking to intelligent people.”
…
Castor also took a step forward and said slowly:
“Then, I won’t waste your time with pleasantries. Originally, I had a big gift prepared for you. But after seeing your battle, I suddenly changed my mind.”
“Haha, you’re scared now, aren’t you, Castor? It’s not too late to surrender. Otherwise, you might end up with a tarnished reputation and be beaten into a sieve?”
Candelle put her hands on her hips and laughed wildly… She seemed to have forgotten that she herself was once a member of the Demon Race, and had only become part of the girls’ faction after a series of “training” from Elus.
However…
Facing Candelle’s provocation, Castor didn’t even get angry. He just smiled and said, “Oh, Candelle, the daughter of Ruo Hui Gong? You do have some talent, but you are simply too young.”
“What?”
“You are not qualified to be my opponent, because you won’t last 3 seconds.”
“Wuwu, how dare you look down on me! I’ll fight you to the death!!”
Candelle wanted to swing her fist, at least to dampen Castor’s arrogance – but at the same time, her body was held back by Lian Lan.
“Lian Lan, what are you doing?”
“Candelle, don’t be rash!”
“Huh?”
“Castor is right. You really won’t last 3 seconds against him.”
“!”
…
As a Hero, Lian Lan certainly wouldn’t demoralize her own side and boost the enemy’s morale.
But…
The current Castor was terrifyingly formidable.
In her long life, Lian Lan had seen all sorts of humans and battled hundreds of thousands of monsters – but even all of them combined were not as strong as a single finger of Castor.
So, without a doubt…
this guy already possessed power that surpassed the Rainbow Abyss!
Castor had likely analyzed every type of Rainbow Abyss in depth – he was by no means an ordinary enemy now; he’s at least Rank 9.
On the other hand, Isumi also shook her head and told her companions:
“That’s right. Our previous prediction was accurate. Castor has now fused with the power of the Black Hole. I estimate he could crush me into powder with a single punch.”
“!”
Hearing Isumi say this, Lonis felt a mix of surprise and relief.
Fortunately, she had that dream and had been hiding in the shadows without acting. Otherwise, if they had rashly challenged Castor, it could have led to tragic casualties!
Castor, on the other hand, looked at Isumi with what “seemed” to be genuine surprise and sighed, “Not bad, to be able to see my true power. It seems the power of the Orange Abyss is indeed extraordinary.”
“Thank you for the compliment. Mr. Castor, since you haven’t made a move yet, you must have something to say, right?”
“That’s right. The fact that you wish to negotiate with me is completely unexpected. Since that is the case, I can give you an opportunity to negotiate.”
“Please speak.”
“I can refrain from killing civilians, I can refrain from firing planet-destroying cannons at Earth, I can disband the entire Demon Race, and I can release all the power of the Black Hole… this would likely be the peaceful era you all expect, wouldn’t it?”
“What?!”
Castor’s words shocked all the girls.
Although they had guessed that Castor might accept some conditions, none of them expected him to be so thorough in his negotiation.
This was essentially a complete surrender, and judging by Castor’s demeanor, he didn’t seem to be lying.
However, even so…
Not a single girl could feel happy.
Because they knew that if Castor was willing to do something like this, his conditions must be extremely harsh and difficult to accept.
That is…
“What are the conditions? You’re not going to tell me that we, the successors of the Rainbow Abyss, must die by your hand?”
“Of course not. In our previous battles, I developed a great interest in the fighting styles of Lonis and Elus, and I believe your choices can pave an unprecedented path.”
“!”
“Therefore, Lonis, Elus. As long as you two agree to become my wives and each bear me a child, I will definitely keep my word.”
Castor said with a cold smile and a solemn expression.
