Nobilis of War

This Heaven Devouring Beast was a newborn, and he only possessed a few inherited memories. Therefore, he had no understanding of human nature at all.

Since Darren was talking down to him, the beast felt anger flare up in him but he could do nothing about it, which only infuriated him further.

"Assimilate!"

Darren ignored the beast and his shaking anger, and he began to assimilate the beast's demonic inner elixir.

In fact, there wasn't much god's power left in the beast's inner elixir. If Darren continued to assimilate it, there was a chance that the beast would die from an insufficiency of god's power.

"Stop! Stop right now!" Through the beast's words, they could hear tears forming and his body shivered beneath their feet.

"Master, maybe you should threaten this beast and make him claim you as his master," Carlisle suggested.

"That's a good idea." Darren's eyes lit up.

If they were going to make a move against the beast, now would be the most opportune. A newborn Heaven Devouring Beast didn't seem very powerful, but once he grew up and became an adult, he would be very terrifying. Even a superior god wouldn't dare to provoke a mature Heaven Devouring Beast. Only the supreme gods of the human race dared to fight with it.

"Wimpy kid. Claim me as your master, or I'll assimilate your demonic inner elixir," Darren roared.

"Claim you as my master? No way! You are nobody! You are not qualified to be my master!" the Heaven Devouring Beast said in a very disdainful tone.

"Ha-ha. In that case, I'll assimilate your demonic inner elixir and see if you are still sharp-tongued." Darren laughed and raised one arm.

"How dare you!"

"Assimilate!" Darren closed his eyes and opened his hand, allowing his god's power to attack the elixir.

"Boohoo..." The sound of crying was far away like a dull thunder, pricking the eardrum. The Heaven Devouring Beast cried out because of pain and helplessness, just like a human baby would. "Now, listen to me. If you don't claim me as your master, you will lose your life. There will be no more warnings," Darren repeated, still holding out his hand.

"But... But I have already had a master." Darren lowered his eyebrows into a frown and dropped his arm slightly.

"Really? Do you think you can fool me with such a naive lie?" This beast was so new to the world that there was no way he already had a master.

"It's true. If you don't believe me, I'll prove it to you." With that, the Heaven Devouring Beast started to shout loudly, "Master, help me! Boohoo... Master, come save me."

Darren waited leisurely as the beast wailed on. He didn't believe that the Heaven Devouring Beast could call anyone let alone his master.

Whoosh!

Suddenly, a shadow appeared beside Darren; however, it was so dark that he could barely see it.

"What?"

Darren spun around, but as soon as he looked, it disappeared.

"Did you sense it too?" Darren raised his head and looked at Carlisle and the others, who looked back at him confused.

"No. What did you sense?" Carlisle pretended to be confused. And as soon as he finished his words, he hit someone behind him.

In fact, Carlisle had already vaguely noticed the shadow. He deliberately said that he did not sense it so the shadow would let down its guard.

Stretching outwards, Carlisle's palms summoned countless wind blades, which were enough to kill a master at the Star God Realm.

But his punch was deflected.

Carlisle couldn't believe what he was seeing. A moment ago, he had targeted the shadow and hit it by surprise. Now, the shadow was skillfully dodging his attacks. 'This person is very powerful!' Carlisle thought.

Whoosh!

Thinking fast, Carlisle flew towards Darren and stood in front of him to protect him.

"Master, please chase them out. They are going to kill me. Boohoo..." Through the next momentary silence, the cry of the Heaven Devouring Beast was continuously heard. "So, you wanted to kill Otis and I wanted to teach you a lesson. Now you even dare to kill Jeremy. Do you have a death wish?"

From the darkness, a long-haired woman appeared.

Darren's pupils shrank at the sight of her. She had a tiny waist and long, thin legs. However, half of her face was scarred and festering, oozing old blood onto her collarbones.

"Are you... Are you the master of the Heaven Devouring Beast?" Darren stuttered, trying to not look at her face.

"Yes. Get out now!" Her teeth pressed together in a snarl.

"Ha-ha." Darren tried to hold back his laughter. "If only you knew that's what I crave. But I can't find a way out, you see."

Carlisle couldn't break through the defenses of the Heaven Devouring Beast, let alone Darren.

The woman's expression softened a little at Darren's words.

"Jeremy, you need to stop eating things that aren't familiar to you. You're going to get yourself killed," the woman said, sighing. As she waved her hand, god's power wrapped around Darren and his companions and carried them into the air.

Dizziness swept over them and when they recovered, they found themselves outside the stomach of the beast.

'Her space skill is powerful!' Darren thought. It was even more impressive when one considered how solid the space was in the Primitive Wilderness.

"Come here, Jeremy!" the woman shouted towards the sky, walking away from Darren and the others.

The darkness that covered the sky quickly dispersed and a ball-shaped object appeared. It shrank until it was tiny, white, and fluffy and it landed in the woman's arms.

Darren and the others were all stunned. Was the furry white fleshy ball the Heaven Devouring Beast?

The little thing's two eyeballs were rolling, and his long ears were shaking. He looked harmless and cuddly.

"Master, he just assimilated my demonic inner elixir. Boohoo..." Darren almost wanted to laugh at how helpless the Heaven Devouring Beast looked now that he was tiny.

The woman stared at Darren with an astonished expression instead of paying attention to the fact that Darren had assimilated Jeremy's demonic inner elixir. "Are you a Defiant Master?"

"Yes." He was at the point where anyone could tell that he was a Defiant Master, so there was no need to hide his true identity.

"I can't believe it. There is actually a weak Defiant Master in this world..." the woman murmured to herself, placing her hands on her slender hips.

"Who are you, elder?" Darren asked, looking at her through squinted eyes.

"Elder? Don't call me that. I'm younger than you," the woman replied indifferently.

"May I have your name, Miss?" Darren asked.

"People call me Princess Lindsay, so you can call me that too," the woman said coldly, looking at him through hooded eyes.

Darren nodded. The name didn't sound familiar to him, but Carlisle and others were silent, all feeling that they had heard it somewhere before.

After a moment, Carlisle's expression changed drastically. "Oh, you! You are..."

"Who am I?" the woman asked, giving him a suspicious look.

"You are Vincent's daughter! Princess Lindsay?" Carlisle said excitedly.

"You know my father?" The woman smiled bitterly.

"Ahem." Darren was a little embarrassed, so he asked Carlisle using his spiritual sense, "Who is Vincent, Carlisle? Why do you call her Princess?" "Master, her father is a Defiant Master! A powerful Defiant Master!" Carlisle replied.

"What a coincidence! Her father is also a Defiant Master!" Staring at her in shock, Darren added, "Is her father as powerful as a superior god?"

"Yes. It's said that at that time, her father was called the great king of the nine abysses. He slaughtered gods of various races like he was cutting grass. Even the chief gods were shocked by him," Carlisle explained.

"What happened to him?" Darren's heart thumped with excitement as he awaited his answer.

"Like all the Defiant Masters, he was suppressed in the abyss."

Hearing this, Darren inexplicably felt a sense of loss. He also felt worry that he would someday end up the same way.

"Just because you and my father are both Defiant Masters, I will help you to survive," Princess Lindsay said after a moment of silence.☐☐☐☐☐☐☐
