"Back in the day, I also wanted to take on the role of the Eternal Blade, but the ceremony required for the position was too troublesome, so I took the path of the Red Jade Guard instead."

Master Merlin sighed and said:

"There are rumors that only five elves were directly chosen by the Blade Tutor without the prophetic dream."

"But let me tell you, this wasn't just a rumor, it's true."

"Every warrior in history selected this way led the Eternal Blade of their time to accomplish seemingly impossible tasks."

There was a hint of frustration in Merlin's voice:

"But the Black Sun was unreasonable and directly ordered me to choose you! Luckily, you kid are quite good, you really do have talent."

He quickly cheered up:

"In due time, under my guidance, you will certainly become this millennium's legend!"

Louis smacked his tongue.

Emperor Lao Deng is so domineering!

"But I like it!"

Yet he never expected that the Emperor is currently unable to descend from the golden throne, right?

He never thought there would be such a means to influence the outer realm.

His heart skipped a beat.

A bizarre thought flashed through his mind.

That is, the Emperor's influence in the material world is greatly restricted instead.

For ordinary people, the material world is a huge filtering net.

Because of the presence of this filter, gods usually cannot carry their true form and Divine Kingdom into the material world.

Even with the Gate of the Abyss open wide, the Abyssal Lord can only drive his army in and can't directly invade the continent.

But perhaps... the Star Continent is fair to everyone.

Those extraordinary existences are not the only ones being restricted.

For the Emperor, the Star Continent is also a shackle that binds him.

"Is this the Fallen Shadow Nether Realm?"

"It's been a while since I've been active in the Fallen Shadow Nether Realm, the atmosphere here is still so dismal."

"But now it's quieter than before, tut, is this the handiwork of the Black Sun?"

Merlin wandered around the area for a moment, then his gaze fell on Louis:

"You all are quite clever, using the traits of the Fallen Shadow Beauty Snake to lure them out from the water, we did this ages ago."

"However, this is not the best method. I see you've brought along the offspring of Shu Gexi, using it to fish is the best choice."

Upon hearing this, Louis raised his eyebrow and said:

"Are you talking about Limuru?"

Merlin said, "If you're referring to that slime, then yes."

"The ancient Star Race created the Shu Gexi, the Ancients gave them life, endowed them with thoughts, and granted them malleable organs and flesh."

(Picture below of the Ancients)

"Slimes are a subspecies of Shu Gexi that specializes in reproduction capability, adaptability, and transformation ability."

"After consuming other magical creatures or even intelligent species, they may unlock mimicry of those species."

Louis was overjoyed upon hearing this.

He had always heard that some slimes have the ability to mimic.

But the mimicry ability seemed quite rare.

Yet according to Merlin, Limuru has a chance to acquire this ability?

Suddenly, Merlin's body transitioned from a substantial gas cluster to a semi-transparent apparition.

"Has ten minutes passed?"

Louis furrowed his brows.

Then he heard Merlin's calm voice echo in his mind:

"Your magical pet has greater potential for mimicry not because it is incredibly talented, but because of you"

"This modern Master of Greed, it's you who endowed it with an endless lust for greed"

"It is an extension of your authority, the biggest hurdle for slime mimicry is their weak self-strength and inefficient digestion and absorption of food"

"However, because of your presence, the offspring of Shu Gexi has undergone a transformation"

"From the last generation of Shu Gexi, emerged one unbelievably powerful existence"

"It became the subsequent God of Oozes"

"Before falling into the abyss, to provide an escape route for the offspring of Shu Gexi, it partially transformed some Shu Gexi into lesser-intellect slimes"

"These slimes were specialized in reproduction, adaptation, and transformation abilities, distinct from the increasingly chaotic and wicked oozes, they became part of the continental ecosystem"

"Thus, oozes and slimes parted ways"

"Due to the presence of the 'Greed Sin', this slime retains its specialized abilities and is beginning to revert to a more primordial ooze or even Shu Gexi itself"

"At least for now, it is more dangerous than you"

"Young man, wisely use your abilities, your enemies will be more fearful because of you"

Louis squinted.

This old monster doesn't disappoint, no wonder he withdrew his ghostly form, worried about revealing the 'Greed Sin' within him.

The manipulation is quite fine.

This is only the third time someone has directly sensed the 'Greed Sin' within him.

The first was, of course, Beatrice.

His main wife seems to possess some ability to perceive the true essence of others.

The second was the Emperor.

Facing the Emperor, he felt an awareness of being seen through by him.

Now, a third person has sensed the presence of the sin.

Louis said softly:

"I thought Master Merlin would immediately label me as heinously evil."

Merlin chuckled and said:

"The heinous evil is the original sin inside you, it has nothing to do with the host"

"That is why I finally agreed to the Black Emperor's request"

"A host already entangled in Greed Sin needs someone to guide him towards the right path"

"You really think I'm afraid of that Black Emperor?"

Louis held back his laughter.

The words before were spoken by Merlin with such enthusiasm.

But in the last sentence, when he spoke the name "Black Emperor," his tone suddenly became subdued.

Timidly, it lacked convincing power.

Seemingly aware of Louis' subtle expression, he instantly reverted to his ghostly form and loudly emphasized to them:

"I see it has absorbed much of the Fallen Shadow power, just a few more snacks, and it can unlock the mimicry of the Fallen Shadow Beauty Snake."

Louis nodded.

His gaze fell on the women.

The first to speak was Alice, who licked her lips lightly, a glint of red flashing in her eyes:

"Kill a few?"

The little swan's expression was somewhat strange, she patted Grace's shoulder and said:

"Grace, want to see a different side of Louis?"

Grace was perplexed and softly said:

"That depends if Mr. Caesar wants to!"

The little swan snorted with laughter.

Almost forgot, Grace doesn't know about Louis' 'Greed Dominator' ability.

Who wants to see Limuru's mimicry?!

Wouldn't it be more interesting to see Louis' mimicry?

So she stressed again:

"Never mind what Louis thinks, just say whether you want to see it!"

Grace lowered her head.

After a while, she hesitantly said:

"I do."

"That's right, I also want to see."

And so, the group's objectives aligned.

Though feeling a bit worn out now, the mental stimulation only fueled their motivation further.

Thus, another two hours passed like this.

As the black glow spread within Limuru's body, soon it was enshrouded by the Fallen Shadow power.

Its body twisted and transformed into a Fallen Shadow Beauty Snake with a tail four to five meters long.

Perhaps the new form felt uncomfortable, it instinctively flicked its tail.

With a thud, the tail lashed past nearby stones, shattering them instantly.

"Oh? Better than I imagined."

The Fallen Shadow Beauty Snake resembles more a Beast Master specialized in 'Beast Riding'.

Perhaps due to the lower level, its physical quality seemed quite average to Louis.

Fighting it one-on-one wasn't challenging.

But now, Limuru's transformation into a Fallen Shadow Beauty Snake far exceeds any previous beauty snake he's seen.

"I see, the mimicry post-transformation references a theoretical Level 11 beauty snake level?"
