"Uh…"
Forcibly calming himself, Phoenix Man deliberated before speaking, "Bug God, I appreciate your friendship."
"However, with the Monster Association currently at its peak, I'm afraid His Majesty Orochi and Great Eyes won't allow us to engage in these private little schemes, will they?"
Han Sen pointed to the virtual brilliant sky above and retorted, "We're only communicating in a spiritual space. Out there… if you don't say anything, and I don't say anything, how would they know?"
"…You have a point." Phoenix Man nodded thoughtfully.
If this were truly the case, Bug God's proactive invitation would be a good boost for him to achieve his desired ambitions.
Upon this thought, the world before Phoenix Man's eyes suddenly warped and changed.
The next second, he found himself reappearing in the gloomy and dark Insect God's Palace.
Before him, that dark figure's gaze was profound, making him feel increasingly uneasy.
He then suddenly remembered that this guy in front of him was a ruthless individual who had killed the First Generation Bug God to ascend!
His strength was far superior to his own, a hidden-strength old hand just coasting along!
—This guy… he wouldn't be thinking of eating bird meat because of my initial disrespect, would he!?
"Well then… Bug God, I'm very interested in what you said, let's talk in detail another day…"
Saying this, Phoenix Man feigned composure and turned to leave.
However, just as he took a step, a black claw covered in layered scales ghosted past, seizing his slender bird neck!
Beside his ear, a devil-like whisper sounded again:
"Don't be in such a hurry to leave, Phoenix Man."
"To celebrate the establishment of our 'Costumed Monster Friendly Mutual Aid Alliance,' as chairman, I should naturally show my sincerity and friendliness… I'll help you enhance your strength first!"
"Gah… Gah gah gah?!" (No… don't do it?!)
With his neck clamped tightly by the iron-vice-like claw, Phoenix Man's cries distorted.
He had intended to say there was no need for such trouble, that he didn't need to be that strong, but the next second, the world was already spinning!
Bang—!!
Han Sen, holding him by the neck like a rag doll, slammed him fiercely onto the hard ground!
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang—!!!
Phoenix Man was treated by Han Sen like Loki, grabbed in his hand, swung left and right, slammed violently again and again!
Rhythmic, dull thuds echoed wildly within the Insect God's Palace, and terrifying, spiderweb-like cracks appeared on the solid ground, with stone fragments and dust flying everywhere!
[Killed Demon-level Monster 'Phoenix Man', gained Origin Points x 528!]
In Han Sen's mind, the system prompt arrived as expected.
He let go, and the Dull Bird, with most of its tail feathers gone, lay limp on the ground like a puddle of mud, its slender neck twisted and bent at a strange angle, clearly dead.
To the side of the throne, Armed Gorilla sat upright, holding his breath tightly, even forgetting that as a mechanical modified Monster he didn't need to breathe.
—Too, too brutal! Is this how the boss shows friendliness?!
°(°ˊДˋ°) °
Armed Gorilla's electronic eyes flashed wildly, his heart churning with stormy waves.
Dr. Genus's cruelty was based on the absolute coldness of scientific rationality, but this lord's brutality… was simply too unpredictable!
A moment later, just as he hesitated whether to go forward and clean up the corpse, an intensely hot energy suddenly erupted from the remains of the costume, transforming into a pillar of light that shot skyward, illuminating the entire Insect God's Palace as if it were daytime!
The next moment, a bird-man with four-toed bird claws, clad in black battle armor, with layered metal armguards covering his arms, and huge, pure white wings unfurled behind him, slowly emerged from the light.
His slender figure was well-proportioned and tall, and the gaze beneath the Dull Bird helmet was as bright as a cold star.
Compared to his previous comical form, the Monster born at this moment had achieved a leap in both appearance and aura!
[Monster: Reincarnated Phoenix Man]
[Disaster Level: Dragon (Mid)]
"Bug God—!!!"
The newly born Reincarnated Phoenix Man squeezed out every word as if through gritted teeth, his eyes, burning with golden flames, filled with monstrous rage, "Look what you've done!!"
Angry and unwilling roars echoed through the palace, and the Dragon-level Monster's chilling pressure spread like a tsunami, causing the walls and floor tiles to tremble slightly!
Advancing from Demon-level to Dragon-level in the blink of an eye, the Armed Gorilla, who had been watching the show for a long time, almost popped his eyes out.
—So, this guy… is also a pervert!!
"No need to thank me."
Facing Reincarnated Phoenix Man's roar, Han Sen waved his hand self-righteously, as if he had done a great deed: "My method is a billion times simple and crude, but it's directly effective."
"Just tell me if you've gotten stronger compared to before!"
Reincarnated Phoenix Man: "…"
He was so frustrated he almost wanted to self-destruct.
He knew his own situation; Reincarnated Phoenix Man was not truly infinitely reincarnated; each resurrection came at a huge cost!
The immortal power that could resurrect him had limits!
Although his strength instantly increased to Dragon-level, the price paid was one life.
He could have easily hidden behind the executives as a hidden asset, but to die so inexplicably once, Reincarnated Phoenix Man felt like he was going crazy.
However, what he didn't know was.
After Han Sen looked at his fully updated ability information, he had already secretly shaken his head.
—Still a bit lacking.
Although the stats panel was much more luxurious, the most crucial several reincarnation modes, as well as the resurrection ray "New Net Awakening Light" that could mass-resurrect and control Monsters, had not been refreshed.
Just as the enraged Reincarnated Phoenix Man was about to erupt, he suddenly felt a chill again on the back of his neck, and a sense of crisis capable of freezing his soul shot from his toes straight to his head!
Unbeknownst to him, that tall, slender, dark figure had appeared behind him again.
Large, knobby claws, gleaming with metallic luster, rested casually on his neck, and the devil's whisper descended once more.
"Looks like it's not perfect enough yet. Bear with it a little longer; dizziness is normal."
(Marugori: No seat!)
"Wa-wait… Ugh ah!!"
Reincarnated Phoenix Man struggled fiercely, his terrifying Dragon-level Monster strength erupting fully, attempting to break free from the restraint behind him!
However, the claws on his neck remained motionless!
"Ah ah ah ah…!!!"
Amidst Reincarnated Phoenix Man's terrified screams, the body that had just displayed Dragon-level aura was once again easily lifted like a chick!
Considering that the previous death might have been too cruel, Han Sen bared his teeth in a smile at the terrified, twisting Reincarnated Phoenix Man, and an intensely bright light, capable of swallowing everything, suddenly ignited in his mouth!
Destructive energy highly condensed, like a miniature sun suddenly blooming!
