Chapter 146: Prohibition

Seeing Cynthia’s pale body enlarged, covered in numerous tumors and flowers, resembling a monstrous tree, and hearing her bashful, murmured request, Klein could not help but shiver. Every hair on his body stood on end.

The scene possessed a horror that surpassed human imagination, something he had never seen even in dreams.

If this had been back in Tingen, when he had faced Megose, Klein would surely have been affected by such a sight, briefly losing his ability to react because of fear and panic. But after experiencing so many things, he was now truly an experienced person and a seasoned Beyonder. The instant Cynthia’s words entered his ears, the glove on his left hand silently changed color.

It turned deep black, carrying a sense of nobility and evil. This represented Klein activating Creeping Hunger and switching to the soul of “Interrogator” Misor, transforming into a Corrupt Baron!

In an instant, he “distorted” Cynthia’s words, changing “General, I want to have a child with you” into “General, I only want to have a child with you.”

With that, Klein believed that the members of the general’s guards and the male attendants surrounding the tree-like monster would surely be pushed away by Cynthia, whose intentions had been distorted, giving him a chance to catch his breath.

As for whether this would expose the fact that he was not the real Admiral Amyrius, he did not care. Anyone still worrying about whether they could complete their role-playing at a time like this was definitely suffering from rather serious obsessive-compulsive tendencies, and he clearly was not.

Besides, in an environment where all sorts of desires had been amplified to the extreme, Klein suspected that the others, who had already been affected, had no way of noticing the specific details of a fight.

The Corrupt Baron’s Distortion ability activated soundlessly, but Klein was stunned to see that the men surrounding Cynthia did not change at all. They were not repelled in the slightest!

It was clearly distorted… The mutated Cynthia can actually resist this influence directly… Klein’s pupils shrank as he abruptly leaped two steps to the side.

From the spot where he had just been standing, a brown branch pierced out, a flower dripping with mucus blooming at its tip.

The flower was abnormally huge. As it opened, it seemed capable of swallowing an entire person.

Pa! Pa! Pa!

One branch after another sprouted from the walls, the floor, and the ceiling. Bearing damp flowers, they chased Klein from every direction.

In the process, those flowers casually bit down on the head of the blond secretary Luan, as well as on the heads of the guards, male attendants, and maids reveling on the carpet nearby.

Having learned from the earlier failure of Distortion, Klein did not hesitate. He pulled out his right hand, his palm tightly gripping the dark-gold high-level charm.

Ninth Law!

He originally had not wanted to use the charm so quickly. It was not because he was reluctant to spend it, but because he had hoped to fight for a while and determine exactly what the monster Cynthia had mutated into specialized in before weakening it in a targeted manner. After all, Ninth Law could not impose broad restrictions. The content had to be specific enough. For instance, it could not make all Beyonder effects invalid in this place, but it could designate one particular Beyonder power and prevent it from taking effect. To maximize its value, careful observation and sharp judgment were prerequisites!

However, the current situation forced Klein to reveal his trump card at once. Otherwise, he suspected he would not be able to harm the tree-like monster at all!

If the Ninth Law charm can’t create an environment where I can kill the monster, I’ll use it to flee the villa immediately, draw Cynthia outside, then find a chance to pray and go above the gray fog so I can use the Sea God Scepter for saturated bombardment! As that thought flashed through…
