I've Become the King of Villains in the Game-Chapter 816 - 510: Cats and Dogs

Looking at the strange expression in the black cat’s eyes, Floey felt both ashamed and angry. She could only explain:

"I just think it’s interesting."

"I think I understand what you mean."

The black cat chuckled softly.

Floey blushed and bit her lip, giving up on explaining.

But soon, she returned to her serene demeanor and continued to stroke the black cat’s soft fur. The black cat purred a bit and slowly spoke:

"I plan to stay a while longer, then leave the Royal City."

Floey cleverly guessed something and whispered:

"Is it dangerous here?"

"You could say that..."

The black cat pondered for a moment.

"Originally, I thought being close to the Empire’s heart would enable more effective growth, but the waters here are far deeper than I imagined... Fortunately, I’ve already ascended to a Holy Rank, gained enough strength to protect myself. Wherever I go, I can handle various situations... Perhaps avoiding this vortex for now is the better choice."

He thought about those crown princes of the Sun Royal Family, who were erased from existence by the Sun King with a power similar to the Constellation Angel, and how Prince Dazlert, after dying, lost control and turned into a Didak Bug Person... This perplexed him and made him feel a bit melancholic.

Even the Silver Dragon Witch Blaze and Lady Fleurette couldn’t avoid forgetting these things, which suggests enormous secrets hidden behind.

Chen Lun planned to lead his team to flee first, find a secluded corner to develop slowly... Now that he had not only ascended to a higher rank but also killed Howard in the battle of fate, breaking his own Ring of Destiny, many things no longer seemed as urgent as before. Finally, he could settle down and accumulate calmly.

"Mm, I’ll always stay by your side."

Floey smiled and nodded.

Dinner time.

All the cadres of the Circus gathered, but they were surprised to find that Leader Jack did not attend. Fortunately, Miss Floey explained that the leader had just finished an important task and was resting upstairs, which made everyone understand.

They tacitly avoided making a ruckus at the dining table to prevent disturbing Jack’s rest.

However, an unnoticed black cat remained in the corner of the living room, accompanying everyone...

The next day.

The nun in a black dress, holding a black cat, slowly walked through the garden and arrived at the church district square.

Under the warm sunlight, in the comfortable breeze.

The cow Antonio, the white cat Biebu, and the hedgehog Dingding were playing around, even several warriors of the Black Cat Samurai Squad had put down their weapons to join in. Captain Nada watched silently from the side, his single eye occasionally scanning the surroundings, indicating he never let down his guard.

Alec was lying on the nearby lawn with a dog tail grass in his mouth, humming a broken melody. Not far from him, Noah sat upright on a small stool, meticulously drawing the joyful scene before him.

Connie and Maggie were not busy with work today; instead, they were setting up a sunshade and handling tea and snacks. Golov, Barton, and Morey, dressed in suits, were doing laborious tasks, helping the two ladies move chairs and food boxes.

Seeing Miss Floey arrive, everyone respectfully greeted her and said hello.

Floey simply smiled and nodded, holding the cat and strolling quietly in the shade of the trees. At this moment, the black cat in her arms lazily opened one eye and murmured:

"Guests have arrived... Oh, it’s Mrs. Caroline and Mr. Tao Te."

"Mrs. Caroline?" freeweɓnovel.cѳm

Floey was a bit surprised.

It had been a long time since their last meeting, back in the Jack Manor in the Inner City District of Amber, where they received the visiting Mrs. Caroline. Unexpectedly, they met again after so long.

"Go greet them, Floey. They’ve been stopped by the missionary... It’s inconvenient for me to appear in my current state, so find an excuse and say I’m out."

Chen Lun whispered.

The missionary he mentioned was an ordinary member from headquarters assigned to help manage the church affairs.

"Mm."

Floey covered her mouth and chuckled.

Then, she put down the black cat and walked alone towards the Great Gate of the church district.

Chen Lun yawned and wandered through the garden, planning to find a place to wait. But just after passing a clump of scenic flowers, he bumped straight into a large black-and-white dog.

He looked up and their eyes met.

Both cat and dog were stunned, looking at each other silently for a long moment.

Chen Lun recognized the Border Collie, it was Babu.

But the dog was obviously different now, not the usual obsequious state but rather displaying deep and calm eyes, not the look he remembered from Babu.

"Conrad, Your Majesty?"

Chen Lun tentatively asked.

"It’s me."

The King of Slaughter said lightly, with a faint grin.

The king then chuckled softly:

"Your appearance today is quite interesting, Jack."

’You too.’

Chen Lun did not dare to speak outright, only silently complaining in his heart.

He did not ask why the King of Slaughter possessed Babu, nor directly inquire about his purpose for coming, but very tactfully, like receiving a distinguished guest, he raised his paw and pointed to the side.

’Your Majesty, please this way.’

’Hmm.’

The King of Slaughter nodded.

One cat and one dog slowly walked across the lawn, elegantly passing under the shade of the trees.

As they walked, the border collie spoke at the right moment:

’Jack, I came to see you this time because I need a favor...’

’Please speak, Your Majesty.’

The black cat said softly.

The border collie stopped walking; they had reached the edge of the square. Looking up, they saw the Circus members joyfully engaging in their activities, but no one noticed the cat and dog.

’I want to hunt an angel; are you interested?’

The border collie asked casually.

The tone was as if asking Chen Lun if he wanted to have some fun together, maybe by jumping over the neighbor’s fence or rolling around in a mud pit.

The black cat was taken aback.

He immediately showed a troubled expression and replied in a deep voice:

’Your Majesty, you overestimate me... I have only just been promoted to a high position and only have the strength of a Sequence Four. How am I qualified to join your hunt?’

As he spoke, waves surged in Chen Lun’s heart.

He did not expect that the King of Slaughter would seek out a new target shortly after killing the same pathway angel ’Death Twin Stars.’

’You are very humble, Jack. I like your temperament.’

The border collie raised a front paw and lightly placed it on the black cat’s shoulder.

His eyes were filled with comfort and amusement.

’But you underestimate yourself too much. You are now qualified to join the table... Of course, what I am talking about is not urgent. You can listen first and then decide.’

’Please speak.’

Chen Lun calmed his emotions and respectfully said.

The King of Slaughter turned to look at the people in the square, his voice slowly echoing:

’My target is Dolomi Purness... Flesh and conspiracy are neighboring pathways, so his Unique Divinity is useful to me.’

’The former Pope of the Red Apple Church?’

Chen Lun was very surprised, then immediately puzzled:

’Wasn’t he already fallen?’

’Fallen... no, although he cannot be called a Sub-God of Lady Rose, he is as good as, and can be considered her most favored follower. Do you know his honorific title? One of them is "Rose Gardener," which shows his status under the Flesh True God... So when Judith took retaliatory action, she only wiped out most of the Ten Cores of the Blood Abbey, and only Dolomi Purness returned to the Divine Kingdom. His Unique Divinity did not fall but was re-nurtured by Lady Rose in her garden.’

The King of Slaughter said faintly.

Upon hearing this, Chen Lun instantly connected it to the main storyline of version 1.0, the ’Scarlet Ceremony.’ At that time, the Red Apple Church made such a huge scene to resurrect this former Pope through ritual means.

’Wasn’t the ritual of the Red Apple Church already disrupted...’

Chen Lun muttered.

’Haha, Jack, that was just a decoy from the Rose Royal Family... Do you really believe they aimed to complete the ritual? No, that was just a facade. In fact, they had been plotting in secret for many years; the Red Calamity was just taking advantage of the opportunity. Their real purpose was to gather enough nourishment to bloom that scarlet rose.’

The King of Slaughter shook his head and explained.

After hearing this, Chen Lun’s heart immediately had a thought:

’Sin Blood! The true purpose of the Red Apple Church was not to complete the ritual but to incite slaughter and gather Sin Blood... Yes, in the previous life’s "Scarlet Ceremony" ritual, although Lady Rose descended with divine intervention, causing the Empire significant losses, it now appears to have been merely a means to buy time!’

’Dolomi Purness will be resurrected soon, reincarnated as a descendant of a certain Duke of the Rose Royal Family... At that time, he will regain his strength, but authority is singular. As a new vessel, he will have a period of weakness, and that will be the opportunity to strike.’

The King of Slaughter casually explained his plan, then turned to look at him, eyes full of anticipation.

’A hunter naturally needs good patience. I do not mind waiting... You have already proven your worth to me, Jack. I warmly invite you to join my murder feast.’

[You have triggered an S-class side mission: Murder Feast!]

Mission description: Conrad, the King of Slaughter, intends to seize Dolomi Purness’s Unique Divinity during his period of weakness after rebirth, to horrifically murder him and completely erase the former Pope of the Red Apple Church and Rose Gardener... You have successfully ascended to the Holy Rank, gaining the recognition of the King of Slaughter. He now warmly invites your participation.

(Note: Refusing the mission will result in severe consequences!)

Mission target: Kill Dolomi Purness (reborn), Conrad to obtain the Unique Divinity.

Mission rewards: 50,000,000 experience points, 1,000,000 Gold Pounds, 4 Blessing Points, 100 regional renown, Conrad’s Affection, and unknown rewards.

Chen Lun looked at the sudden mission prompt, took a deep breath, and fell into thought.

The King of Slaughter did not urge him, only watched the Circus members’ activities with great interest.

After some time.

The black cat spoke slowly:

’Your Majesty Conrad, Jack Spett the White Scale Dragon, is willing to participate in your feast!’
