"Maxwell, save me!"
Brenda's voice had woken up Maxwell!
He had woken up from the dark abyss. He had seen the word "Hell" in the depths of the dark abyss.
He had seen a grim reaper smiling at him.
At that moment, Maxwell thought he was really going to die.
But when he heard Brenda screaming his name, he immediately woke up and said to himself, "I still haven't completed my quest. I still haven't fulfilled my promise. I cannot die. I absolutely cannot die!"
At this moment…
Maxwell's heart started beating quickly…
The moment he opened his eyes, Maxwell no longer hesitated as he chose to activate Becoming A Devil, the quest reward that required him to turn in one million souls of the deceased devil race.
He had no other choice.
If he did have other choices, even something remotely useful, he wouldn't choose to become a devil.
Because…
When he completed the quest "Becoming A Devil" and was about to give the occupation a try, the system gave him a caution. "Becoming a devil will plant a devil seed in the user's heart. A devil's heart will make you lose your sanity and may cause you to kill your loved ones around you!"
Devil's heart!
Maxwell didn't really know what it was.
But he knew what cultivation deviation was and how it felt. When that Bloodfiend almost took control of his body, Maxwell had felt how powerful the devil's desire was. That desire for violence and killing was truly terrifying and beyond one's imagination.
It was thousands of times more terrifying than the millions of corpses inside the World of Slaughter.
Therefore…
Maxwell had been hesitating.
When he managed to complete the quest, he chose not to change his occupation to become a devil. When facing the Skynet assassin who was at the Venerate rank, he didn't choose to become a devil either. But now he had no other choices left.
It was unknown if Constantine was dead or alive.
Godfrey, his one man and one sword, stood there unmoving, so his status was also unknown.
The devil wings on the back of Blindman Dale were getting larger and larger. If the process hadn't been stopped soon, he would most likely have become an ancient, huge devil again. Maxwell understood how painful the process was because Blindman Dale's injury from transforming into the ancient, huge devil the last time still hadn't fully healed. If the ancient huge devil was once again stimulated to the point of awakening, most likely Blindman Dale would die this time.
Maxwell had run out of choices!
He could only mournfully scream into the air: "I will become a devil!'
"Crackle!"
"Caution: Is player Maxwell Gillette really choosing to become a devil?"
"Yes!"
"Crackle!"
"Another Caution: Is player Maxwell Gillette sure that you want to become a devil? Are you aware of the negative effects of becoming a devil?"
"Yes, yes, yes… I'm becoming a devil! Stop talking all this crap with me!" Maxwell started reprimanding with annoyance.
In about half a second…
"Crackle!"
"Player Maxwell Gillette has chosen to become a devil."
"Crackle!"
"System initiating… random selection of a devil occupation has started!"
Maxwell closed his eyes as he waited for the results of the random selection. These kinds of random chances annoyed him because if he ended up becoming some little devil soldier, how was he going to fight it out with Travis?
His heart started feeling some anxiety.
His fists were subconsciously clenching on and off while there was an imaginary frown on his face. Maxwell's heart grew quiet as he waited for the results. This process felt like ten thousand years had passed. It took so long that he almost fainted from his pain once again.
The moment Maxwell chose to become a devil…
Brenda, who Travis was holding, had gradually closed her eyes.
Suddenly…
A holy-looking bright light illuminated her body before shooting into the sky. It then fell back down and sprinkled like rain onto Maxwell's body.
Maxwell's body was absorbing every drop of the light.
The fur-tailed race woman inside the glass box had a dazed expression.
Travis stopped moving as shock registered in his eyes.
Kerry was stunned by this.
The elven woman was also stunned by this.
Samuel was stunned by this, too, but he quickly reacted afterwards. He was ecstatic internally, "This is the ability that the Vice President wanted! It is indeed extraordinary, hahaha…"
Standing on the viewing platform of private room number one was a man—a man who looked very average. There was a brief flash in his eyes as he tightened his grip on the rails. There was an indescribable excitement in his heart as he muttered softly: "The legends were true. The fur tailed race really possesses this divine power, hahaha… This time, I will definitely level up. I will definitely succeed! Hahaha…"
During this time…
Maxwell had his eyes closed, so he didn't notice anything.
He could feel the system undergo a strange change. Originally, the random selection was flickering across different positions in the devil race, but it suddenly settled on a single one.
At this moment…
A system notification tone sounded off in his mind.
Maxwell's mind tightened as the determination of his fate had arrived.
"Crackle!"
"Congratulations to player Maxwell Gillette for successfully becoming a devil!"
"Crackle!"
"Congratulations to player Maxwell Gillette for becoming Devil Sovereign!"
"Crackle!"
"Congratulations to player Maxwell Gillette for comprehending Devil Sovereign's divine martial technique – Decapitation Strike!"
"Crackle!"
"Congratulations to player Maxwell Gillette for comprehending Devil Sovereign's divine martial technique – Divine Slash!"
---
Excitement!
Maxwell couldn't believe what he was hearing!
He opened up the system interface and read the information one word at a time. When he saw the words Devil Sovereign, his blood started boiling with excitement!
Sovereign, one of the ten ancient devil gods.
Possessing unrivalled powers!
How could it be him?
Was this some ultimate explosion due to my awesome character? This was basically a heaven-defying Devil Sovereign!
Sovereign's strength wasn't just terrifyingly strong; it was to the point that Maxwell didn't have any words to describe it! The current him was like someone who had been injected with a stimulant – every cell inside his body was incomparably excited!
"Devil Sovereign!"
"God of War!"
"One of the ten ancient Devil Sovereigns whose strength was only second to no one! My character must be heaven-defying to be able to get the Devil Sovereign randomly. System, I've loved you for a long, long time!" Maxwell was incomparably excited.
Except that he had no idea that the random selection had landed on Devil Sovereign only because of Brenda!
The mysterious power from her had changed the system's random low-level choice!
This was the power that Brenda possessed!
An unrivalled divine power!
In an instant…
The system gave off another notification tone.
"Crackle!"
"Are you choosing to become a devil?"
Maxwell grinned viciously and thought, "Yes!"
"BOOM!"
A loud explosion was heard from inside Maxwell as he suddenly stood up. He was smiling gloomily while glaring at Samuel, "You shall die now."
Immediately after…
His gaze turned towards Travis as he said, "You will also die."
Maxwell's gaze and words made him look like a grim reaper.
That feeling made Travis's heart shiver unconsciously, while Samuel fell to the ground in fear. When Samuel focused on Maxwell's figure, he realised there was something truly different about him, but couldn't pinpoint what it was. Samuel then scolded: "You damn dog thing! Even if you die ten thousand times, I will still be living happily!"
Travis scrunched up his brows and coldly smiled, "One that doesn't know the immensity of heaven and earth. Do you really think you can kill me with your measly amount of powers? Why don't you take a look at your own cultivation level? In front of me, you shall always be nothing but a little tiny ant."
"You will forever be an ant that cannot turn things around!'
Brenda was very weak.
Extremely weak right now.
Seeing that Maxwell had stood up, she lightly smiled and said to Travis, "You are truly going to die."
In a blink of an eye…
Maxwell clenched his fists, and his entire body exploded forth with a crazy change! The unrivalled powers of a Devil Sovereign had exploded out from his body!
Devil Sovereign was coming!
