Chapter 151: Back to the meeting
"Don't even think about it!"
In a special space, Audrey roared.
Her expression was extremely ferocious, her mouth wide open as she tried to resist the grand will imprinting on her soul. However, Enzo's soul intent was incredibly strong, and the Beast God Rexfit's Beast God Will power was extraordinary. The combination of the two made it difficult for even Audrey, despite her strength, to withstand.
Soon, the Beast God Will succeeded, and a mark of enslavement was left on Audrey's soul.
Yet her gaze remained indifferent, filled with murderous intent.
Enzo remarked, "Audrey, you should be thankful for the Beast God will. Otherwise, you would not just be enslaved by me, but completely dead."
Audrey retorted, "Without freedom, I would rather die."
Enzo smiled and said, "If that's the case, then go ahead and die."
Then Enzo picked up the long sword from the ground and handed it to Audrey, saying, "Here, use this sword to pierce your heart and make me recognize your courage."
"This is my command!"
The Beast God Will is quite unique. It can enslave supernatural beings without altering their thoughts.
The only thing it enforces is that the enslaved will obey orders unconditionally.
At that moment, Audrey, holding a longsword, pointed its tip towards her own heart.
However, her face clearly showed panic.
Eventually, her emotional control broke down, and she shouted, "Stop! I am willing to submit!"
Enzo turned around, took the longsword, and said, "No, you are not submitting. You are being enslaved by me."
After speaking, Enzo concentrated energy in his hand. The energy vibrated at a specific frequency, then changed shape, evolving into a swirling vortex. This was a spatial passage, and on the other end of the passage was Enzo's residence at the Crimson Star Tribe camp.
"It's truly convenient."
Enzo remarked as he stepped into the portal, contemplating, "Opening such a portal probably only uses about one percent of my energy. Based on my current limits, I might be able to open a direct portal to the Golden Lion Tribe, but it would only last for a very short time…"
While he was thinking, Enzo had already returned to the bamboo house courtyard.
Audrey followed him through the portal.
Realizing she couldn't resist, she decided to accept the situation.
Understanding this, Audrey followed Enzo into the tribe's camp and asked directly, "What do you need me to do? Destroy this camp?"
Enzo replied seriously, "If I hear that kind of talk from you again, your life will be completely ended."
Seeing that Enzo was not joking, Audrey's smile vanished.
Then Enzo continued, "I know you are still angry, so I won't ask you to do anything for now. One thing only: when the Crimson Star Tribe faces a strong enemy, you must step in to protect them. As for other times, you can do whatever you want—that's your freedom."
Audrey was momentarily stunned by this command.
She was somewhat surprised and wondered if there was another hidden agenda.
But by the time she came to her senses, Enzo had already left the courtyard and headed towards the tribe's conference hall.
...
In the conference hall, the tribe's officials cheered as Enzo returned.
"Lord Enzo, have the issues been resolved?" Amy asked curiously.
Enzo nodded slightly and replied, "Only partially. There's still some unresolved business."
The resolved part concerned Audrey. Without her protection, other supernatural beings could be easily dealt with.
Though Enzo wasn't inclined to do so just yet.
The unresolved issue was Beast God Rexfit.
Beast God Rexfit has shifted from deception and fraud at the beginning to now showing favor and surrendering, making it difficult for Enzo to understand what Rexfit truly wants.
After all, according to known information, Rexfit is a genuine deity.
He stands almost at the pinnacle of this world.
What does he want?
No one knows.
"By the way, Amy, how are the battles between the tribe members and the supernatural creatures going?" Enzo inquired.
Amy has long kept track of battle-related situations.Amy provided an update: "As of now, twenty-three tribe members have died. According to Neville, the casualties were due to some members' reckless actions, leading them into the beasts' encirclement. After issuing new combat orders, the losses have significantly decreased."
"Additionally, the tribe has killed sixty-eight supernatural beings and acquired a substantial amount of meat."
"Thirty-five people have returned to the tribe, gone to the Tower of Sacrifice, and awakened supernatural abilities. The tribe's strength has once again increased. According to Neville and the others' estimates, it will take no more than ten days to completely deal with the beasts that want to invade the jungle."
"However, there's troubling news from Qaidam Lake."
"Observers have reported extremely strange beasts at Qaidam Lake. These beasts seem insensible and completely unaffected by ordinary weapons. "
"Moreover, their blood contains some form of contamination."
Amy's concern was evident.
Enzo was equally surprised.
Was this related to the special potion developed by Logan?
This issue needed urgent attention, as it could impact the Crimson Star Tribe eventually.
Amy added, "Also, Dilly's condition seems problematic. After you brought her back, she recovered, but this morning she fell unconscious again. This time, she's glowing red, and something appears to be growing inside her."
Enzo's expression grew serious. "And this issue as well?"
He looked at Amy, noticing her panic, and gently held her soft form, reassuring her: "I'll go check on Dilly. Also, contact the others and select some representative members of the tribe. Let's hold a full tribe meeting in the council hall in three days."
"The tribe's development needs to accelerate."
Amy nodded. "Understood, Lord Enzo."
Enzo left the conference hall.
He was aware there were more matters to discuss but knowing they could wait until the meeting. His immediate concern was Dilly's condition.
Red light?
Red light wasn't a good sign.
Dilly's quarters were near Tia's, making it easy for Enzo to find her. A few female tribe members were tending to Dilly, and they called out excitedly upon his arrival, "Lord Enzo!"
Enzo nodded and instructed, "Please leave for now."
Once they had left, Enzo examined Dilly closely.
At that moment, Audrey's voice echoed in his mind, "She's possessed."
Enzo asked, "By what?"
Audrey replied coldly, "I don't know."
Just then, Mina, the Potion Master responsible for Dilly's treatment, appeared and said, "She's possessed by a spirit entity. However, the entity is severely injured, and Dilly's soul is fighting it. To awaken Dilly, you might need to use the same method again. You should enter Dilly's soul world."
The visitor was Potion Master Mina, who was in charge of Dilly's treatment.
Audrey's expression turned peculiar at the sight of Mina.
They seemed to know each other.
Mina glanced at Audrey with confusion and asked, "Young lady from the Six-Winged Colorful Phoenix tribe, have we met? Why do you look at me like that?"
Audrey regained her composure and said, "I've heard stories about Mr. Mina."
Mina dismissed it casually, "Oh, is that so?"
Enzo, uninterested in their conversation or Mina's past, turned to Mina and asked, "Are you sure there won't be any issues this time?"
Mina hesitated, "It should be fine."
Enzo was frustrated by Mina's uncertainty .
However, the only method available was the one provided by Mina. As Mina completed the corresponding symbols in mid-air and finished the ritual, a massive soul entity emerged from Dilly. Upon seeing Enzo, the soul entity said with great obsequiousness, "Mr. Enzo, it's truly a pleasure to see you again."
Enzo's face turned cold. "The Soul of the High Tower!"
This spirit entity was the guardian of the High Tower—the Soul of the High Tower.
Noticing Enzo's anger, the Soul of the High Tower quickly apologized, "Mr. Enzo, I am guilty. I admit I was influenced by the Elder Deity and harbored ill intentions towards you. Now, I have been punished accordingly. Please forgive me!"
Forgiveness!
That was not an option.
If it weren't for the High Tower's soul trying to take over his body, none of the subsequent events would have occurred. Now, simply apologizing and hoping to be forgiven—where in the world does such a good thing happen?
Enzo sneered, "I don't accept your apology!"
In the next moment, the Ring of the World totem appeared in Enzo's palm.
Mina, having seen Enzo's totem before, was now surprised by its significant changes.
However, Audrey and the High Tower's soul were meeting for the first time. They could feel the vast presence of the Ring of the World totem, as if they were facing an entire world.
"What kind of totem is this?"
The two person wondered in shock.
Audrey even felt that being enslaved by Enzo might be a form of fortune.
The Soul of the High Tower, jolted from its awe, quickly bowed and said earnestly, "Mr. Enzo, if you would absolve my sins, I am willing to reopen the High Tower for you once again!"
