#725 - Chapter 725 The Throne and the Price
"Back down."
"Ymir."
As Wu Wei appeared before the First Prince, Shi Renjun, a chasm wall forged from solidified darkness blocked the giant king Ymir's raised hand.
Although this chasm wall's strength couldn't withstand Ymir's destruction, Ymir hesitated due to Wu Wei's icy eyes.
In the end, he chose to yield.
"Hey, human bastard."
"I'll say it again."
However, the giant king's mouth was tougher than his fists.
"I'm not your subordinate!"
"Whatever, I've killed enough princes and princesses in the past, one more won't make a difference."
"For the sake of you, Abyss Lord, I'll let him go."
Having said that, the terrifying giant, whose body was expanding every moment, scratched his head and slowly walked back to the abyss portal Wu Wei had set up for him, squeezing back with effort.
But before leaving, the giant said to Wu Wei.
"Right, human kid."
"According to our previous agreement."
"After this出手(chūshǒu - take action/make a move), you need to let me obtain more Titan power."
"Don't forget that!"
After speaking, Ymir returned to his own plane, the Giant King's Court.
It turned out that the giant king Ymir, though constantly eroded by the endless abyss, had undergone changes in his body.
However, because the abyss's erosion hadn't fully taken effect, he still retained his own will.
So, under these special circumstances, the giant king needed Wu Wei to pay a price for helping him.
However, Wu Wei didn't need to pay these so-called prices himself.
Because what the giant king Ymir needed was just Wu Wei's help in absorbing that Titan corpse.
Such a price was not a sacrifice for Wu Wei at all.
On the contrary, Wu Wei knew one thing very well.
The more the giant king Ymir craved the power of the Titans, the faster he would be corrupted by the endless abyss!
After all, when the abyss transformed the Titan's corpse, it would instinctively inject abyssal aura into it.
So, the more power the giant king Ymir absorbed, the closer he would get to the abyss creature side.
In fact, if the abyss corpse wasn't too difficult to refine, Wu Wei would have completely corrupted the giant king Ymir, who craved power and was ruled by greed.
But now, what Wu Wei cared about was not the giant king Ymir.
It was the First Prince behind him.
"You..."
"Is there anything you want to say?"
"Great Prince?"
After the giant king Ymir left, Wu Wei slowly turned around and looked at the First Prince, Shi Renjun, behind him.
However.
Unlike the previous times he met the First Prince.
Wu Wei was now in the Lord Era and not in the real world.
So, he wasn't wearing any disguise.
The Wu Wei who liked to joke and was extremely greedy in front of the First Prince had disappeared.
What replaced him was him tearing off his disguise, fully displaying his indifference and terror.
A true Abyss Lord!
"I..."
The First Prince, still in shock, raised his head.
At this moment, he noticed Wu Wei's indifferent and cold eyes.
For a moment, he felt as if his soul was being weighed in the other's eyes.
It was as if the other was a true god.
"What should I say?"
"Humph."
Seeing the First Prince, who was powerful in the real world but behaved like a rat on the battlefield, Wu Wei revealed a disdainful smile.
Although such a disdainful smile made the First Prince, Shi Renjun, very angry.
However, at this time, he had realized a problem.
That was, the young lord in front of him was no longer the young human lord he knew, who had just emerged from the War College.
He had previously thought that Wu Wei was a "subordinate" he could manipulate.
But he was dead wrong.
Because when Wu Wei tore off his disguise and really stood in front of him.
He realized that the "subordinate" he had was an out-and-out abyss monster.
The reason why the other party hadn't attacked him before was just because he happened to provide the monster from the abyss with the nourishment he liked.
"What you should say isn't...."
"Well done, Wu Wei?"
Hearing Wu Wei's answer, the First Prince, Shi Renjun, was stunned.
What's going on?
Why did the other party say that.
It was as if the other party was still his subordinate, but he had just betrayed Wu Wei not long ago.
But soon, Wu Wei laughed.
"Oh, my dear Prince."
"I don't care about your little betrayal just now at all."
"Even, I am very happy about your extremely rational behavior."
"Do you know why?"
"Why?"
Prince Shi Renjun said with a livid face.
And the next second, Wu Wei smiled, gathering countless darkness and condensing it around him into a wriggling halo.
In this dark and fallen halo, an abyss throne slowly rose.
Wu Wei sat down on it with a thud, like a true king.
"Because, the two of us are true partners, aren't we?"
"Don't forget, Prince, from the beginning to the end, I have called you my partner!"
"Because, I will do everything I can to push you to the throne you desire."
Hearing this, Prince Shi Renjun's heart jumped violently.
"But, I need you to explain one thing to me."
"That is, what price will you pay for the throne you desire!"
