Chapter 332: Succubus Empress
Darkness City.
When Zhang Nu found Han Kexin again, the Succubus Queen had undergone significant changes. Zhang Nu could clearly sense that, although her level hadn't changed, her strength had at least increased several times.
[Succubus Empress: Han Kexin] Level 6 legendary
"Looks like everything went smoothly," Zhang Nu nodded with great satisfaction.
After defeating the Primeval Behemoth Amit, Zhang Nu obtained the legend crystal. While such an item was of no use to him, already being a legendary existence, it was highly beneficial for Han Kexin, helping her bloodline evolve. As a result, Han Kexin successfully became a Level 6 legendary existence. Han Kexin's ranking on the Demon King leaderboard had instantly soared to around the tenth position, nearly making her one of the top ten Demon Kings.
Zhang Nu asked, "Have there been any changes?"
Han Kexin replied, "Of course, my stats have all been enhanced. Not only that, but my skills have also changed and their effects have greatly improved."
Han Kexin demonstrated on the spot.
With a light flick of her left hand, she shot out ten purple threads. The threads flew into the air and gathered, forming into several spirit bodies, each exuding a powerful aura. Among them were six Behemoth Kings, as well as Heroes Will and Jason, totaling over ten spirits. Zhang Nu was somewhat surprised. From what he knew, Han Kexin's Soul Shepherding skill could summon a maximum of six soul slaves. Unexpectedly, she could now summon ten at once, including two who were legendary beings in their lifetime.
These soul slaves weren't created out of thin air; they were crafted using the corresponding souls through the secret arts of the Succubus Empress. They could be used repeatedly, and their strength was close to what they had in life, allowing them to use most of their original abilities and talents. However, soul slaves couldn't be resurrected. If they were killed during use, their souls would be destroyed as well, so caution was necessary.
Han Kexin explained, "I can now control up to twelve soul slaves, and I can manage even legendary units of the same level!"
So that explained it. Her increased rank significantly enhanced her skill effects. With just this ability, Han Kexin could easily handle and suppress most beings of the same level. Moreover, her improvements didn't stop there. Her other skills were also enhanced. For instance, her permanent charm could now be used on legendary targets with a much higher success rate and a reduced cooldown time.
"Vice City Lord! I have important information!"
Ophelia's status within the federation was certainly below Han Kexin's, given that Han Kexin was the Vice City Lord of Darkness City, the Prime Minister of the federation, and the second-in-command of the entire Demon King Alliance.
Han Kexin asked, "What information?"
Ophelia replied, "An emissary from the Radiant Church's Pope Saint Delores has secretly contacted me."
Hearing this news, Han Kexin raised an eyebrow, becoming cautious. "The pope? What does she want?"
Ophelia responded, "I'm not entirely sure. Saint Delores wants to meet with me in secret. I suspect it's highly likely that they plan to take action against the former empire or the federation."
"The Radiant Church...the pope!" Han Kexin's eyes narrowed slightly.
She suddenly recalled that the former pope of the Radiant Church was none other than Lucas, ranked seventh on the Hero leaderboard. Considering this, it seemed that Pope Delores's approach was a probe to test the water, with the true mastermind being the seventh-ranked Hero, Lucas.
Han Kexin said, "Your suspicion is correct. The top echelon of the Radiant Church has long been controlled by the Heroes. They intend to move against us."
Ophelia quickly asked, "How should I respond?"
After some thought, Han Kexin said, "Since Her Holiness the Pope wants to meet, then let's meet her."
Ophelia understood Han Kexin's implication. She said "we," meaning Han Kexin planned to accompany Ophelia to meet Pope Delores. Since the Radiant Church wanted to probe the Chaos Federation, why shouldn't the federation seize this opportunity to probe the Radiant Church in return?
