#2940 - Request

The most troublesome aspect of the King of Negative Energy is that his true form is hidden deep within Hell, making it impossible to deal with him directly. Otherwise, he would have become an Andrew-shaped being long ago, just like Zeus and the others.

"Ask the King of Negative Energy for access to the Negative Legion? How could he possibly give me that? It's his most precious possession."

Kaguya Otsutsuki shook her head. Andrew smiled and said, "If he didn't give it to Chthon, he definitely wouldn't give it to you. But since he's already given it to Chthon, he won't mind giving you a little bit as well.

You don't need to ask for too much, just a little bit will do. The key is the qualification, the amount doesn't matter."

"Then I'll give it a try."

Kaguya Otsutsuki nodded. She didn't rush to ask for permission, but quietly watched the King of Negative Energy contact and negotiate with Chthon.

Chthon's thoughts were exactly as Andrew had guessed. When he saw the King of Negative Energy finally relenting, he was overjoyed. However, he didn't show it, and instead continued to demand access to the depths of Hell.

The two negotiated for a while before Chthon 'reluctantly' agreed to the King of Negative Energy's conditions. He said, "King of Negative Energy, I can just take the authority of the Negative Legion, but this authority must be given to me immediately."

The King of Negative Energy frowned and said, "If I give you the authority now, what if you deny it later?"

"We can sign a contract."

Chthon smiled. If the King of Negative Energy was willing to sign a contract with him, he would laugh to death. Although he is not a Demon King, he knows all the methods of those Hell Demon Kings, and he guarantees to trick the King of Negative Energy to death.

Unfortunately, the King of Negative Energy was not fooled. He used to be very silly and naive, but with the Time Tree as his brain trust, he is now different – the Time Tree had warned him not to sign any contracts.

"Chthon, don't joke around like that."

The two sides reached an agreement, and the King of Negative Energy helplessly transferred some authority to Chthon. Chthon nodded in satisfaction, continuing to set up the magic circle and checking various things, wanting to find out the Mechanical Demon King's hidden tricks.

"The negotiation with Chthon is over. The specific situation is similar to what we discussed before."

The King of Negative Energy said to the Time Tree and Kaguya Otsutsuki. The Time Tree nodded, "That's good. King of Negative Energy, I know you feel a little aggrieved, but the current situation is quite serious, we can only do this."

"Don't worry, I understand. In human history, many kings have had to endure humiliation, and besides, I can still bear this little loss."

The King of Negative Energy smiled. At this time, Kaguya Otsutsuki suddenly said, "King of Negative Energy, can you give me a little bit of the Negative Legion's authority? I don't need much, just a little bit."

"Life Tree, why do you want the Negative Legion's authority?"

The King of Negative Energy was puzzled, and so was the Time Tree. The difference was that the King of Negative Energy did not suspect Kaguya Otsutsuki, while the Time Tree had a hint of inquiry in its eyes. After all, that was the authority of the Negative Legion.

"Because I want to become a member of the Negative Legion's management."

Kaguya Otsutsuki had naturally thought of an excuse long ago. She said, "You gave me several not-yet-awakened Father-level Negative Commanders and asked me to turn them into White Zetsu. I succeeded, but controlling them is a bit difficult.

I think this is because I don't have the authority to command the Negative Commanders. They don't recognize me. If you give me a little bit of authority, my identity will change, and I will have the qualification to command them."

"If you have the authority of the Negative Legion, you can indeed better command those Father-level Negative Commanders."

The King of Negative Energy nodded in agreement. The Father-level Negative Commanders are equivalent to the company's important backbone, but no matter how important they are, they are not management, and having the authority of the Negative Legion is equivalent to being a member of the board of directors, and the identity is completely different.

Approval is approval, but the King of Negative Energy hesitated, wondering whether to agree to Kaguya Otsutsuki's request?

If there was no Chthon incident, the King of Negative Energy would find an excuse to refuse, but having already given it to Chthon, his mentality was completely different from before, and besides, Kaguya Otsutsuki only wanted a little bit.

The Time Tree withdrew its gaze from Kaguya Otsutsuki. Kaguya Otsutsuki's reason was reasonable and there was nothing to doubt.

If he guessed correctly, Kaguya Otsutsuki should have had this idea before, but knew it was impossible, so she didn't say it. This time, the transaction between the King of Negative Energy and Chthon gave her hope, so she made this request.

The Time Tree said, "King of Negative Energy, I think it's okay to give a little bit of authority, not only to the Life Tree, but also to all Compound Five Trees."

"Give it to all Compound Five Trees?"

The King of Negative Energy was stunned. The Time Tree nodded and said, "Yes, give it to all Compound Five Trees. As long as they are willing to follow you, give them a little bit of authority. This will make them feel valued and devoted to you.

At the same time, giving everyone a little bit of authority can better resist Chthon and prevent him from secretly playing tricks. In addition, when the doomsday comes in the future, having authority can better command the Negative Legion.

Of course, it's just a little bit of authority. Give Chthon 10% authority, and give the other Compound Five Trees, uh, 0.1% will do, mainly to obtain an identity."

"Time Tree, what you said makes sense. I'll transfer the authority to you now."

The King of Negative Energy nodded upon hearing this. It was only 0.1%, adding up to only 0.8%, while Chthon's side had 10%.

"Thank you, King of Negative Energy."

Kaguya Otsutsuki said with satisfaction. The Time Tree was really a good teammate, giving a boost at a critical moment. The Time Tree naturally didn't know so much, and he was still happy that he had come up with a good idea.

The King of Negative Energy didn't waste any time and directly transferred 0.1% of the authority to the Time Tree and Kaguya Otsutsuki. Kaguya Otsutsuki clearly felt that her control over those few White Zetsu puppets had improved, and she nodded happily, not expecting such an unexpected gain.

After dealing with this matter, the King of Negative Energy contacted Homelander to inquire about his current situation, but Homelander did not answer because he had already injected the Doomsday gene and was undergoing transformation.

Immortus Kang used instruments to detect Homelander's various data. He was very excited because the experimental results were better than expected.

"No wonder Chthon wanted to use Billy as an experiment. Homelander and Billy's abilities are very similar. Most of the data collected from Billy can be used on Homelander."

Immortus Kang was very satisfied. He injected various different agents into Homelander based on his various data, allowing him to successfully complete the transformation.

"It's almost impossible to create a perfect Doomsday in a short period of time, so we can only use another method."

Immortus Kang thought to himself, "That is to directly experiment and let the experimenter help the gene transform to reach a perfect level."

Such an experimenter cannot be found casually, but Homelander is the perfect candidate. Now the only worry is whether Homelander's consciousness can withstand the chaos and rage carried by the Doomsday gene and turn into a monster?

Once the consciousness collapses, Homelander will fail to evolve and become a beast.

There is no need to worry about this problem with Billy, because Billy's will is stronger than steel, but Homelander is not only a man-child, but also a schizophrenic. To be honest, it's hard not to worry.

To be on the safe side, Immortus Kang specially prepared a method, but if it can be avoided, it's better not to use it.

What Immortus Kang didn't know was that Homelander had already withstood the chaos and rage carried by the Doomsday gene – the simulations in the life simulator were not without gains. Homelander's situation was much better than before.

Those problems with Homelander were because his heart was incomplete, and this shortcoming was gradually being made up for with the help of the life simulator.

"I, Homelander, am a god. What is there that I can't withstand?"

Withstanding the impact, Homelander thought arrogantly. Then, he activated the Heart of Life given by the King of Negative Energy. The Heart of Life emitted waves of life, locking onto a large number of nanomachines.

That's right, nanomachines. Immortus Kang had added a large number of nanomachines to the Doomsday gene. These nanomachines were not only technological creations, but also had magical power, and even Homelander couldn't detect them.

Fortunately, Homelander obtained the Heart of Life in advance. As long as he was willing, he could easily destroy these robots. However, Homelander did not do so, but allowed the Heart of Life to keep these nanomachines.

He would still need Immortus Kang's help next, so Homelander couldn't turn against him prematurely. However, once he transformed into the perfect Doomsday, Immortus Kang would be his first sacrifice.

Just as Homelander was about to completely accept the Doomsday gene, Soldier Boy's voice suddenly sounded in his mind: "Pretend that you can't withstand the impact, there are benefits."

Homelander was stunned when he heard this, and then terrified. How could Soldier Boy know what he was doing? Also, would he be detrimental to him?

Soldier Boy sensed Homelander's thoughts and said with a smile: "Don't worry, if I wanted to kill you, you would have died long ago. Do as I say, and I'll tell you about other things later. In short, I won't harm you."

The sentence 'I won't harm you' sounded absurd because the two sides were currently in an adversarial position, but for some reason, Homelander really believed it.

"Give it a try, anyway, there's nothing to lose. If it's true, then I'll have made a profit."

Homelander thought for a while and, according to what Soldier Boy said, controlled his consciousness to fluctuate greatly, as if it might collapse at any time.
