Chapter 37: The Maid Was A What!?

......

After darting through the forest at lightning-fast speeds for several minutes, the two speed fakers finally made it to the area just outside the safehouse.

In the distance, they could see building-sized monsters swarm out of the rift in droves, each carrying human cultivators on their backs, their cultivation levels varying widely.

Regardless of the absolute pandemonium unfolding in the center of Riversea City, Lucifer and his 'loyal' maid found themselves atop a hill overlooking the chaos.

"Oh, Luci... If only we could share a passionate kiss in the heat of the moment... Isn't this utterly thrilling?? Running away from a horde of dangerous beasts, reveling in the rush of adrenaline! Why don't we just lose ourselves in the moment and-"

"Hey, Lu Lu! Do you see that over there!?" Lucifer interrupted, pointing his right hand to the light orange horizon, directing her gaze just behind them.

"Umu?" Lu Lu Umued as she turned around to look...

"!?!?"

Push!

The last thing Lu Lu saw was Lucifer's smiling expression before plummeting to the ground from a height of thousands of meters in the sky!

"What the fuck!?" she cried out in a not-so-cute voice, struggling to move her arms and cast a spell to slow her descent.

But that was when she realized that her arms and legs had been tied together with a Low-Mortal Rank Cultivation Sealing Rope—a tool that would normally cost a fortune for a Core Formation Realm Cultivator, and yet it had somehow been tied around her body!

"Lucifer!! You fucking bastard!! I knew I should've killed you with that poison when I had the chance!!!" Lu Lu screamed at the top of her lungs, her face contorting into an expression far from a beautiful maiden.

That was when something completely mind-boggling happened...

GAZORP!

The once cute and petite female maid transformed into a...

Man!

And not even a handsome, refined man like Lucifer, but a butt-ugly, corpulent pile of lard!

"Holy shit! That bitch was not a bitch after all! I can't believe I let her get so close to me... I think I'm going to barf..."

"Burn in hell, hell-spawn!" Lucifer declared, transforming into the most fearsome Pyromancer the Great Mormonga Forest had ever known.

Only after everything within a ten-mile radius was turned to ash did Lucifer cease his frenzied dance with the flames.

"..."

After the flames subsided, he observed the scorched landscape and realized that the Devilduke safehouse may or may not have been obliterated in his little "accident."

BLING!

[Ding! You have killed a secret operative of the Shadow Slave Organization. This operative was in the Late Foundation Establishment Realm, so an appropriate amount of Clone Essence will be rewarded.]

[Ding! You have obtained 800 Quadrillion Clone Essence!]

[Ding! You have killed tens of thousands of Cultivators ranging from the Middle Body Refinement Realm Stages to the Early Foundation Establishment Realm.]

[Ding! Since you are a Clone, what you kill will also allot Clone Essence-]

"Bitch, who the fuck are you calling a clone!? You're the fucking clone! I bet I can walk down the street and find 100 bitches that look exactly like your rectangle-headed, brightly shining, robotic ass!"

Lucifer was, to say the least, more than a little infuriated by the neutral remark from the Infinite Clone System. But his anger and worries quickly faded away as the rest of the system notifications appeared.

BLING!

[Ding! You have killed hundreds of thousands of Spiritual Beasts, ranging from the Early Qi Condensation Realm to the Middle Foundation Establishment Realm!]

[Ding! You have obtained 220 Quadrillion Evolution Essence from all of these various kills!]

"Need not say anymore, my dear system. You know that all I said before was just me playing hard to get..."

Lucifer's tone switched in the blink of an eye, his gaze filled with immense greed as he reached out to grab the floating screens, it was practically possible to see dollar signs dancing within his eyes.

He was the one to forgive and forget!

He was just magnanimous like that!
