Hello readers , I am imploring you to kindly support my account. Rene_chan2, if you love the story it's chapters ahead and a motivation to me since I lost all my members.
"Uh…"
Forcibly calming himself, Phoenix Man deliberated before speaking. "Insect God—I appreciate your friendship. However, with the Monster Association currently at its peak, I'm afraid His Majesty Orochi and Gyoro Gyoro won't allow us to engage in these private little schemes, will they?"
Jack pointed to the virtual brilliant sky above and retorted, "We're only communicating in a spiritual space. Out there… if you don't say anything, and I don't say anything—how would they know?"
"…You have a point." Phoenix Man nodded thoughtfully.
If this were truly the case, Insect God's proactive invitation would be a good boost for him to achieve his desired ambitions.
Upon this thought, the world before Phoenix Man's eyes suddenly warped and changed. The next second, he found himself back in the gloomy, dark Insect God's Palace. Before him, that dark figure's gaze was profound, making him feel increasingly uneasy.
He then suddenly remembered that this guy before him was a ruthless individual who had killed the First Generation Bug God to ascend. His strength far surpassed his own—a hidden-strength old hand just coasting along!
—This guy… he wouldn't be thinking of eating bird meat because of my initial disrespect, would he?!
"Well then… Insect God, I'm very interested in what you said. Let's talk in detail another day…"
Saying this, Phoenix Man feigned composure and turned to leave.
But just as he took a step—a black claw covered in layered scales ghosted past, seizing his slender bird neck.
Beside his ear, a devil's whisper sounded again.
"Don't be in such a hurry to leave, Phoenix Man. To celebrate the establishment of our 'Costumed Monster Friendly Mutual Aid Alliance'—as chairman, I should naturally show my sincerity and friendliness… I'll help you enhance your strength first!"
"Gah… Gah, gah, gah?!" (No… don't do it?!)
With his neck clamped tightly by the iron-vice-like claw, Phoenix Man's cries distorted. He had intended to say there was no need for such trouble—that he didn't need to be that strong—but the next second, the world was already spinning.
*BANG—!! *
Jack, holding him by the neck like a rag doll, slammed him fiercely onto the hard ground.
*BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG—!!! *
Phoenix Man was treated like Loki—grabbed in Jack's hand, swung left and right, slammed violently again and again. Rhythmic, dull thuds echoed wildly within the Insect God's Palace. Terrifying, spiderweb-like cracks appeared on the solid ground. Stone fragments and dust flew everywhere.
[Killed Demon-level Monster 'Phoenix Man' | Gained Origin Points × 528!]
In Jack's mind, the system prompt arrived as expected.
He let go. The dull bird—most of its tail feathers gone—lay limp on the ground like a puddle of mud. Its slender neck was twisted and bent at a strange angle. Clearly dead.
Beside the throne, Armored Gorilla sat upright, holding his breath tightly—even forgetting that as a mechanical modified Monster, he didn't need to breathe.
—Too, too brutal! Is this how the boss shows friendliness?!
°(°ˊДˋ°) °
Armored Gorilla's electronic eyes flashed wildly. His heart churned with stormy waves. Dr. Genus's cruelty was based on the absolute coldness of scientific rationality. But this lord's brutality… was simply too unpredictable.
A moment later, just as Armored Gorilla hesitated whether to go forward and clean up the corpse, an intensely hot energy suddenly erupted from the remains of the costume, transforming into a pillar of light that shot skyward, illuminating the entire Insect God's Palace as if it were daytime.
The next moment, a bird-man with four-toed bird claws—clad in black battle armor, layered metal armguards covering his arms, huge pure white wings unfurled behind him—slowly emerged from the light. His slender figure was well-proportioned and tall. The gaze beneath the dull bird helmet was as bright as a cold star.
Compared to his previous comical form, the Monster born at this moment had achieved a leap in both appearance and aura.
[Monster: Reincarnated Phoenix Man]
[Disaster Level: Dragon (Mid)

"INSECT GOD—!!!"
The newly born Reincarnated Phoenix Man squeezed out every word as if through gritted teeth. His eyes—burning with golden flames—were filled with monstrous rage.
"Look what you've done!!"
Angry, unwilling roars echoed through the palace. The Dragon-level Monster's chilling pressure spread like a tsunami, causing walls and floor tiles to tremble slightly.
Advancing from Demon-level to Dragon-level in the blink of an eye—Armored Gorilla, who had been watching the show, nearly popped his eyes out.
—So, this guy… is also a pervert!!
"No need to thank me."
Facing Reincarnated Phoenix Man's roar, Jack waved his hand self-righteously—as if he had done a great deed.
"My method is a billion times simpler and more direct—but it's effective. Just tell me—have you gotten stronger compared to before?"
Reincarnated Phoenix Man: …
He was so frustrated he nearly wanted to self-destruct.
He knew his own situation. Reincarnated Phoenix Man was not truly infinitely reincarnated. Each resurrection came at a huge cost. The immortal power that could bring him back had limits. Though his strength had instantly increased to Dragon-level, the price paid was one life.
He could have easily hidden behind the executives as a hidden asset. But to die so inexplicably once? Reincarnated Phoenix Man felt like he was going crazy.
What he didn't know was—after Jack looked at his fully updated ability information, he had already secretly shaken his head.
—Still a bit lacking.
Though the stats panel was much more luxurious, the most crucial several reincarnation modes—as well as the resurrection ray "New Net Awakening Light" that could mass-resurrect and control Monsters—had not been refreshed.
Just as the enraged Reincarnated Phoenix Man was about to erupt, he suddenly felt a chill again on the back of his neck. A sense of crisis—capable of freezing his soul—shot from his toes straight to his head.
Unbeknownst to him, that tall, slender, dark figure had appeared behind him again. Large, knobby claws—gleaming with metallic luster—rested casually on his neck. The devil's whisper descended once more.
"Looks like it's not perfect enough yet. Bear with it a little longer—dizziness is normal."
(Marugori: No seat!)
"Wa-Wait… UGH, AH!!"
Reincarnated Phoenix Man struggled fiercely. His terrifying Dragon-level Monster strength erupted fully, attempting to break free from the restraint behind him.
But the claws on his neck remained motionless.
"AH, AH, AH, AH…!!!"
Amid Reincarnated Phoenix Man's terrified screams, the body that had just displayed Dragon-level aura was once again easily lifted like a chick. Considering that the previous death might have been too cruel, Jack bared his teeth in a smile at the terrified, twisting Reincarnated Phoenix Man.
An intensely bright light—capable of swallowing everything—suddenly ignited in his mouth.
Destructive energy—highly condensed—bloomed like a miniature sun.
