The golden radiance in Hansen's hand shone with an intoxicating glow, and Sonic's heart stirred, a hint of longing involuntarily appearing in his eyes.
This was the idealistic power that approached the world's origin, unique to Hansen—
Imaginary Divine Power!!
"In this world, there exists a group of beings known as God-Awakened."
"They sign contracts with 'Gods' from other dimensions, gaining a portion of the Gods' authority and becoming their representatives in the human world."
Hansen gazed at Sonic, his voice tinged with temptation.
"Monsterification merely gives you the threshold to step into the ranks of the strong. But I can bestow upon you true power, just as Gods create God-Awakened."
Sonic's pupils contracted.
Gods? Authority? God-Awakened!!
These words opened a door to a new world for him.
Hansen extended his hand to Sonic, the wisp of golden Imaginary Divine Power on his fingertip exuding a fatal attraction.
Sonic was not unfamiliar with this power; he had once been imprisoned in that boundless dimension of divine power, knowing how terrifying the power contained within that golden ocean of energy was.
Since that was the case… having accepted Monsterification, what else was there to not accept?
Without the slightest hesitation, Sonic knelt on one knee, lowering his proud head.
"I am willing to offer everything to Your Majesty!"
"Very good."
Hansen flicked his finger, and that wisp of golden divine power instantly merged into Sonic's glabella.
With a flick of a finger, the anointing of a God-Awakened was complete.
At this moment, Hansen also had his own God-Awakened!
Boom—!
Unlike the heart-wrenching pain of Monsterification, this time, a warm and vast power instantly swept through Sonic's entire body.
His body did not undergo drastic changes, but his black fur became even more lustrous, and his cat-like features became perfect, with his pointed ears and long tail appearing more agile.
Most importantly, the aura around him became more enigmatic and unfathomable, and his strength firmly reached the peak of Dragon-level!
Hansen looked at the reborn Sonic and nodded in satisfaction.
"From today onwards, you shall be the last member of my Apocalypse Knights—the 'Knight of Famine,' in charge of assassination and intelligence."
"All Monsterified Heavenly Ninja Party will be under your command, forming a Monster ninja troop."
Thus, the Four Knights of the Apocalypse were officially assembled!
Sonic accepted the appointment in a daze, all his attention focused on sensing the surging power within his body, a naive smile unconsciously spreading across his lips.
But the next second, his smile froze on his face.
However, smiles never disappear; they only transfer.
"Woof!"
Lord Poqi happily bared its teeth; this little cat suddenly had the aura of a boss.
Alright, I like it even more!
Sonic: "..."
As the saying goes, when beating a dog, one must also look at its owner.
At this moment, Sonic was confident he could instantly shake off Lord Poqi's entanglement, but Hansen's watchful gaze made him break out in a cold sweat, so he had no choice but to bite the bullet and carry out his first task as the 'Knight of Famine'—
Walking the dog.
"...Get lost! You stupid dog! Don't lick me!"
"Woof woof woof!"
Sonic's screams and Lord Poqi's excited barks echoed deep underground, and the Monsterified Heavenly Ninja Party members waiting outside exchanged glances.
The next moment, Gale Wind seemed to receive some information and quickly shouted, "Everyone, follow me! Our ninja troop's first mission has begun—"
"Assist our leader, Sonic the Hedgehog, in taking care of Lord Poqi!"
The Dragon-level Weirdo's recovery ability was evident; moments ago, he was severely injured and bleeding profusely on the ground, but now he was full of vigor.
Flame of Impure Ardor, who was beside him, was the same; he had taken a tail whip from Sonic, breaking who knows how many ribs, but he got up as if nothing had happened, dusting himself off.
Such an odd command did not seem out of place to the completely subdued Heavenly Ninja Party.
"Yes!!" x N
Everyone responded loudly, then used their various techniques, transforming into streaks of high-speed afterimages to catch up with the cat and dog that had walked ahead, disappearing into the darkness underground.
Hansen thoughtfully withdrew his gaze.
The potential of Monsterification combined with Imaginary Divine Power was far from exhausted.
Given time, Sonic might even be able to compete with his good friend, Flash, in terms of speed.
He silently disappeared into the darkness, leaving only the Lord Poqi's shattered door in the empty renovated room, and the faint lingering scent of blood and… dog saliva in the air.
Monster Association, Throne Room.
Hansen was lazily reclining on the throne, Psykos's sky-blue hair spread like a waterfall across his chest, wearing only a thin silk nightgown, her exquisite body pressed tightly against him.
She held a glass of crimson wine, her fingertips gently tracing Hansen's jet-black breastplate, her light green eyes holding a hint of hazy languor.
Psykos's voice was a bit hoarse from recent indulgence, yet it remained calm.
"Your Majesty, are you not afraid they will lose control by entrusting that ninja Monster troop to Sonic?"
Hansen's actions this time were not hidden at all, and they took place within the Monster Association, so Psykos, with her increasingly powerful psychic abilities, naturally perceived the entire process.
It is worth mentioning that she did not even use the Dragon-level Weirdo puppet body, Great Eyes, for amplification.
This showed that after being nourished by the Monster King during this period, her strength had long exceeded her original limit.
Suddenly seeing more than a dozen Dragon-level Weirdos emerge right under her nose, Psykos was incredibly shocked.
The Monster Association she had painstakingly built over several years didn't have that many Dragon-level Weirdos combined!
But as soon as she thought that this was the Bug God's doing, she had no objections.
No problem!
"Lose control?" Hansen chuckled, his fingers running through her soft hair, "In this world, power is the only leash."
"As long as I am strong enough, they will be the most obedient dogs."
Below the throne, the atmosphere was equally enchanting.
Mosquito Girl, dressed in a well-tailored maid outfit, knelt on the carpet, meticulously peeling a crystal grape for Hansen.
Occasionally, she would extend her pink tongue to lick the juice from her fingertips, her movements naturally alluring.
Plasma Dancer sat quietly to the side, wiping her beloved drumsticks, with subtle electric arcs occasionally flickering around her, illuminating her cold and elegant profile.
In the shadows to one side of the throne, S-Class Monster was caressing her custom-made leather whip, her posture devout.
Her gaze towards the throne was fervent and obsessed, as if Hansen was her only deity.
"Furthermore," Hansen's gaze swept over his maid group, finally resting on Psykos's delicate face, "I am preparing to convene the second Monster Association general assembly."
Psykos looked up, her eyes wide with surprise: "The second… Monster Assembly!?"
"Exactly, the previous association structure was too simple, and the team was too bloated; it needs an optimization."
Psykos:!!!
