Hinata started feeling dizzy.
[[Harvest Festival Evolution has begun.]]
[[Bodily structure will be reassembled for Evolution into new species.]]
Has she killed so many people, that she is evolving into a True Demon Lord?
'...I have become a monster.'
As she thought that bitterly, Apolloyon landed before her, wearing Shizu's mask.
"How dare you kill Shizu?"
His voice was terrifyingly calm. It sent shivers down to her very soul.
"...Sorry..."
That was all she could mutter before falling into evolutionary sleep.
Which Hinata obviously didn't trigger on her own.
Apolloyon turned her into a slime Majin.
He also gave her a Demon Lord Seed and the soul nutrition for awakening. Afterall, even if she killed the entire population of Lubelius now, she will not awaken. Their soul energy has been obviously drained.
Hinata has two Unique Skills, [Mathematician] and [Usurper].
And judging by the situation, she also awakened another Unique Skill. Most likely something related to guilt.
So, she is an excellent candidate for evolution into a True Demon Lord.
This way, he will get a True Demon Lord soul with the soul energy of only 10,000 people, instead of having to use the soul energy of 100,000 people to awaken one of his own subordinate.
Moreover, seeing Shizu's mask just before going to evolutionary sleep will strengthen the guilt-related Unique Sleep.
[Meddle with her Harvest Festival?]
'Yeah.'
Nexis has become so powerful now that she can even interere with the harvest festival of others.
[Report: The new Unique Skill awakened by Hinata Sakaguchi is [Guilt].]
As expected.
So, let's leave this skill alone for now, so that she can evolve it into Ultimate Skill herself.
[Report: Requesting evolution of Hinata Sakaguchi's Unique Skill [Usurper]. Offering [Mathematician] as sacrifice.]
[[Request accepted. Unique Skill "Usurper" has evolved into Ultimate Skill "Prometheus: Lord of Plunder"]]
[[Harvest Festival complete.]]
Apolloyon ate her, and stole the Ultimate Skill [Prometheus: Lord of Plunder].
He will wait until she evolves her Unique Skill [Guilt] into Ultimate Skill to eat her and get another True Demon Lord soul.
He looked at the masses, scared and kneeling, shivering amidst the dead bodies.
"Your god was Demon Lord Luminous Valentine, a vampire deceiving you all. And this Hinata Sakaguchi dared to murder my underling.
Rejoice! I have killed Luminous and freed you. And now you all, the followers of Luminism which calls for extermination of you all monsters, are now monsters yourself."
"G-god! Please have mercy on us! We will do anything—"
People cried desparately, but Apolloyon was unmoved.
But he still revived the people who Hinata killed here. They don't really have anything to do with it, and them being alive will torment Hinata even more.
"True God!"
"It's a Divine Miracle!"
"My son is alive!"
Apolloyon sighed as he looked at the foolish crowd.
They are cultists through and through.
They will now worship him, and probably expect him to protect them. And when he doesn't, curse him.
He doesn't want anything to do with these guys. At first, he thought that he can use them for labour, but they are too annoying.
"Reviving you all despite my anger is the most mercy you will receive from me.
From now on, you are on your own. I am not your God. I reject any worship from you."
Saying that, he let out his Dragon wings and left. Guy is waiting for him.
"Please don't abandon us!"
"God!"
"We will repent!"
The people of Lubelius shouted, begging him to not abandon them.
It was a truly repulsive scene.
And amidst their desparate pleas, Hinata Sakaguchi woke up.
"AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH! SAVE US!"
Seeing her wake up, everyone started running away from the crazy mass murderer.
