My Pet Beast is really not an Evil God-Chapter 436 - 166: The Research that Shocked the Alliance, The Attack of the Succubus Club President!_2
Chapter 436: Chapter 166: The Research that Shocked the Alliance, The Attack of the Succubus Club President!_2
Once they appear outside the city, it signifies the death of hundreds of thousands of lives within. Even a kingdom would have to painfully abandon it, and wait for the Kings of Curses to leave after they have had their fill.
As for rescue... it’s not possible, and would only result in the needless sacrifice of more people!
Human species’ so-called resistance to the Dark Tide, most of the time, is merely confronting those powerful Cursed Beasts that emerge from it, pushing them back or suppressing them within a golden cage.
As a result, gold in this world is a strategic resource, and private transactions between individuals all require official permission and can’t exceed a certain quantity, or else it would be a treasonous act!
"This level of suppression doesn’t feel like the Overlord’s Aura, it’s more similar to a Domain-like ability..."
Gary Smith was quite curious, as according to the records of the humans in this world, no one had witnessed the evolution process of a Cursed Beast into a King of Curses. They appear out of thin air; the upper limit for humans is only Deity General.
It made him wonder, could it be bred from something deep within the Dark Tide?
Like the Dark Moon?
Or potentially the root cause of the moon’s anomaly?
"The information I have is still too limited..."
Gary Smith pondered for a long time, but couldn’t come up with anything, and there was no one who could answer him. The only one who knew the truth, the Catastrophic Beast, was long dead, and its corpse and the Cursed Beasts were probably devoured by the Giant Eel.
Moreover, with his current strength, challenging a King of Curses is somewhat difficult, let alone exploring the secrets behind the Dark Moon. It would be better to thoroughly research the curse-binding system and then apply it to the Main World.
Even though the curse-binding system has high costs and low potential as compared to the Beast Master System, it does have one advantage - it can be used without Beastmaster Space!
In other words, as long as it can be slightly improved, it can be entirely used on Pet Beasts!
Normal Pet Beasts may not need this power of curses, and it might even hold them back, but it’s different for Pet Beasts of the Curse Department!
They share the same roots as Cursed Beasts, and with their strong physical constitution, the cost of being cursed will be greatly reduced. This allows them to possess additional curse skills such as drowning, self-immolation, and easily enhance their own strength.
Isn’t this a unique Skill Learning Machine for the Curse Department?
The success rate of learning is as high as 90%, and the remaining 10% is due to incompetence!
"If this research succeeds, it will definitely cause a huge tremor in the entire Alliance, earning me the admiration of countless Curse Department’s Beastmasters, turning me into a Master of Curse-level researcher, gaining a large amount of Alliance Points, and exchanging them for a vast amount of valuable materials."
"Especially because the entrance to the Beast Curse Realm is under my control. Once Little Spider advances her skills, the exit points and pricing of the remaining cursed beasts can be monopolized. A true seller’s market, it would be hard not to strike gold!"
"Only thing is, the curse-binding system is still a bit tricky. In comparison, the method used by the Benjamin Harris that I squeezed to death before seems alright. Turning Cursed Beasts into external accessories, similar to a Treasure, that’s some talent. Luckily, only one of his clones was squeezed to death. The Negative Monarch Society is still active and can be kept an eye on for some gains."
What is a disaster for this world, the Cursed Beasts, are gold mines in Gary Smith’s eyes. Not only can he make a vast fortune by exploiting them, he can also save the world in the process; a true win-win situation.
Deserving of the title ’Great Kind Gary Smith’!
As Gary Smith was in deep thought, a timid voice came from the side:
"Master... Ah, no, Mr. Door, your coffee is ready, no sugar added!"
It was a sweet young girl dressed in a black and white maid’s outfit, her enamel white elegance perfectly highlighted by a custom-made, slightly short lace skirt. Her long, slender legs were tightly encased in white stockings; paired with her shy, tentative eyes, she gave off the impression of a vulnerable maid in a manga.
She was Edward Whitehair’s granddaughter, Jenny Han!
Gary Smith wasn’t a bloodthirsty person. He originally planned to let this group go, while he explored the kingdom himself. But to his surprise, the old man chose to voluntarily surrender and became a turncoat.
As for addressing him as the "Immortal King", it’s highly probable they mistook him for a humanoid King of Curses with intelligence, who was willing to surrender and join the darkness in order to protect his family.
And since Edward Whitehair had already crossed the line once, the second time wouldn’t weigh so heavily on his conscience.
Allying with a stronger power is, after all, the survival tactic of the weak!
As for this, Gary Smith neither confirmed nor denied it. If being offered a lackey, why not accept?
The Han family, within the kingdom, were old nobles. As the descendants of a Curse Deity General and curse binders themselves, they were part of the upper echelon in Ember City, holding a lot of resources and information channels.
They could save Gary Smith a lot of time.
However, there was one thing he didn’t agree to.
It was not having the Han family address him as the "Immortal King" or "Master", but to address him as "Mr. Door".
Because Gary Smith had heard about the power of the True King from Lisa Brown and wasn’t interested in playing house in the Small World. He might consider it once he really becomes a king some day.
As for the thoughts of the Han family, he didn’t care; respect wouldn’t increase or decrease because of a title.
Status only originated from power!
Even though Edward Han didn’t understand, he didn’t ask further and then sent his granddaughter over for Mr. Door’s service.
After all, apart from eating, Cursed Beasts have all kinds of desires, and humanoid Cursed Beasts might have certain needs.
