"So... is Master really a Devil?"
"That's right."
During this time, Abel revealed his full identity.
Esdeath was slightly surprised when she learned that Abel was a Devil.
A Devil from legends, how interesting.
"Then... Esdeath, become my Vassal."
Gazing into Abel's crimson eyes, Esdeath smiled, a smile that was quite captivating.
"Of course, my Master."
Becoming a Devil, isn't that interesting?
Moreover, the weak obey and serve the strong; this was a principle she had learned since childhood.
Since she was defeated, she must obey orders.
Let alone a Devil.
As long as someone could defeat her, she would follow them to the end.
Furthermore, becoming a Devil could make her stronger, and she had witnessed Abel's power firsthand.
The sky-high flames, like a divine punishment.
Everything had turned to charcoal.
In another sense, she was the one who profited.
She found her other half, someone she could follow for her entire life, and he could also become stronger.
Isn't this a gain?
Indeed, both sides now felt they had profited.
Esdeath looked at Abel: "Master, what should I do?"
"You don't need to do anything."
Abel said casually, and the Reincarnation Wheel reappeared behind him.
Scan, rotate, fix.
The pointer landed on the Queen's position, and a drop of Devil Blood condensed on Abel's fingertip.
"Drink it."
Esdeath unhesitatingly took the Devil Blood from Abel's finger into her mouth.
As the Devil Blood entered her stomach.
Reincarnation began.
In an instant, a powerful and unfamiliar energy surged through her body, her body trembled slightly, and her eyes shimmered with excitement.
This is power!
Esdeath felt her body being reforged, as if an even stronger power than before was continuously gushing forth.
With a tearing sound of fabric.
A pair of Devil Wings appeared on Esdeath's back.
"Is this the power of a Devil? It's truly captivating."
Feeling the Devil power within her, Esdeath's face showed intoxication and obsession.
"Vassal Gift Pack +1."
Listening to the system prompt and looking at Esdeath, who had completed her reincarnation, Abel nodded with satisfaction.
Esdeath retracted her wings, knelt on one knee, her eyes firm: "This life, I will always follow by Master's side."
Abel raised his hand, signaling Esdeath to stand up, "From now on, with your assistance, things will go much smoother."
After a while, Abel and Esdeath walked out of the tent.
During that time, Abel and Esdeath talked a lot.
But she only knew one thing.
That was, her Master wanted to destroy all the countries on this land and establish a new one.
"General, are you alright?"
"General..."
The Soldiers, seeing Esdeath walk out, asked with concern.
It must be said that Esdeath's prestige in the army was more effective than the Emperor's.
"Everyone, assemble!"
With Esdeath's command.
The Soldiers all assembled in an orderly manner.
Soon, tens of thousands of troops were assembled.
They awaited their beloved General's command.
"Soldiers! Are you willing to follow me!!"
"We swear to follow General to the death!!" Xn.
Esdeath nodded with satisfaction, a hint of contentment flashing in her eyes as she looked at the Soldiers below.
Then Esdeath looked at Abel.
"I, Esdeath, hereby swear that I will support my Lord to become the New King!
I will become my Lord's sharpest blade, clearing all thorns for my Lord!"
The Soldiers were slightly stunned but quickly reacted.
"We pay respects to the New King!"
Abel, watching this scene from the side, twitched his mouth, and Esdeath even winked at Abel.
He didn't expect that 'taking care of oneself in cold weather' could be applied to him.
Under Esdeath's expectant gaze.
Abel cleared his throat helplessly, then loudly declared: "Fellow Soldiers, the thousand-year-old Empire has already decayed!
Since that is the case, I will lead you to create a brand new nation, so that this land will be free from war and suffering!
Everyone! Are you willing to follow me and overthrow this decaying Empire!!"
For a moment, the entire place was silent, everyone stunned by Abel's words.
Overthrow the Empire?
What a grand goal.
Their eyes were filled with fervent passion, and soon, earth-shattering shouts erupted from the crowd.
"Overthrow the Empire's rule!"
They all knew the Empire had already decayed.
They were all people living in the border regions, and it was Esdeath who had gathered them together.
Now that someone dared to think this way, then...
Follow him!
Abel looked at the scorched earth behind him, also preparing to display his great power.
Then next is...
Abel raised his hand, activating the power of space-time, and time flowed backward, quickly restoring the scorched earth to its original state.
At this moment, the Soldiers' emotions soared.
And Abel felt an invisible something enter his body.
Since that was the case, it wasn't impossible to give it a try.
"Numa Seding."
"King!"
The Prince of the Northern Kingdom, transformed into an Undead, appeared behind Abel and knelt on one knee.
"Go gather the warriors and people of your kingdom; we shall re-establish the nation."
"As you command, King."
Numa Seding responded respectfully, then transformed into a black shadow and vanished from everyone's sight.
Next was to govern the entire northern region.
...
A few days passed.
Imperial Capital.
A man in a black military uniform with a white long ponytail stood atop a tall tower.
He looked at the sky, enjoying the peaceful life.
He was Esdeath's most loyal subordinate—Liver.
He was also one of the Three Beasts.
At this moment, a pigeon landed on his shoulder. Seeing the pigeon's features, Liver was slightly startled.
"A letter from General?"
Liver took out the letter and was stunned after a glance. This... is this really a letter from General?
If it weren't for Esdeath's unique mark.
He would never believe that the Empire's General would support a New King and prepare to act against this decaying Empire.
"Since that's the case, I, Liver, will naturally continue to follow. It's time for this decaying Empire to face its end."
He recalled an incident where he was imprisoned for refusing to offer bribes.
Such an Empire had long since decayed.
He burned the letter in his hand to prevent it from falling into the hands of the ministers.
"Someone!"
"General Liver!"
"Arrange for Nyau and Bols to come to me."
Liver said, then thought for a moment.
As for the Jaegers, they could basically be trusted, but there were still some who might leak secrets.
So, he would personally approach the Jaegers.
"That's all. Go."
"Yes!"
As the Soldier left, Liver's eyes filled with excitement; this day was about to change.
