66: Kindness and ruthlessness

Seeing Lorraine no longer argue, the others also had nothing to say, and Ye Chen's finger tapping the throne paused slightly.

Immediately after, a scene appeared in the void.

What was presented in the scene was exactly what the Little Devils saw.

From Lorraine's meeting with her vanished subordinate, to her conspiracy with the Sky Knight, all the way to the final battle.

Scene after scene of real footage completely shattered Lorraine's illusions, and she collapsed to the ground in despair.

The unaware crowd was also shocked by the betrayal in the footage; they hadn't expected Lorraine to be so audacious.

As for the large bat, after seeing it, he was ecstatic, knowing he had bet correctly!

The great Lord of the Abyss had long known of Lorraine's betrayal, and this move not only cleared his suspicion but also gained the Lord of the Abyss's appreciation.

It was simply... a massive profit!

Ye Chen, looking down from high above, took in the changes in everyone's emotions.

"Lorraine, is it worth betraying the Abyss just for a strange world and a group of strangers?"

Ye Chen's voice carried the might of the Abyss, causing the entire space to begin to twist and tremble.

Lorraine suddenly looked up, a burning light ignited in her empty pupils, and she struggled to stand up, facing Ye Chen directly and saying, "Compared to the Abyss, that strange world makes me feel more a sense of belonging, and that group of strange people makes me feel more kind and warm."

"Betrayal? The Abyss deprived me of a normal life, deprived me of the right to choose, and now it wants to impose this misfortune on more innocent people."

"And I am the devil who pushed them into the Abyss step by step... I can't do it, even if my soul is annihilated, I can't do it!"

Ye Chen sighed softly.

"I have shown you mercy many times."

"When you died, I gave you life."

"When organizing the Pioneer Team, I gave you authority."

"When you chose to deceive, I gave you the chance to choose."

"But all of these... you did not cherish!"

"I respect your choice, but I hope you can also face your own destiny."

"Of course, you now represent not just yourself; all the Devil Race of the Pioneer Team will be buried with you for your foolishness..."

Piercing wails instantly echoed across the land; the Devil Race of the Pioneer Team either wept bitterly, or banged their heads on the ground begging for the Lord of the Abyss's forgiveness, while others cursed Lorraine with the most venomous language.

An aura of despair permeated around everyone.

Lorraine's pupils suddenly constricted, and then she screamed hysterically, "It's all my fault! If you want to punish, punish me alone! They didn't know my plan! They are all innocent!"

Ye Chen ignored her final madness and turned his gaze towards the large bat again.

"Blood Bat Commander, you have also performed meritorious service by reporting; what reward do you want?"

The large bat was slightly taken aback after hearing this; he hadn't expected that as a member of the Pioneer Team, not only would he not be punished, but he would even receive a reward?

He didn't dare to delay and hurriedly replied, "Merciful Lord of the Abyss, your servant has not done anything worthy of praise and dares not ask for a reward."

"I have said before, the Abyss is ruthless, but I am fair."

"This time you were able to step forward and point out Lorraine's betrayal; this is very good and worthy of commendation."

"Just boldly state it."

Hearing Ye Chen's words, the Blood Bat Commander fell into deep thought.

What reward should he ask for?

Strength? Authority? Or...

He glanced at the maddened Lorraine, then gazed respectfully at Ye Chen's human face, and an idea suddenly popped into his mind.

The Lord of the Abyss is so fond of this group of Devil Race; is it related to their race or appearance? If I were...

Thinking of this, the Blood Bat Commander boldly said, "Merciful Lord of the Abyss, may these sinners be bestowed upon your servant?"

Ye Chen seemed to understand his idea after hearing this and gave him a deep look.

"Their physical bodies can be bestowed upon you, but their souls must return to the Abyss to endure eternal punishment!"

The Blood Bat Commander was overjoyed upon hearing this and quickly expressed his gratitude.

All he wanted was the blood of these sinners; he didn't need their souls or anything else.

Having received Ye Chen's affirmation, the Blood Bat Commander boldly flew towards a sinner from the Pioneer Team.

He was afraid Ye Chen would change his mind and didn't dare to start with Lorraine.

His sharp claws tightly hooked the sinner's arm, his sharp fangs instantly pierced the sinner's throat, and a greedy sucking sound came from within the windpipe.

The Devil Race naturally wouldn't just surrender; he suddenly activated his transformation, and his claws fiercely grabbed towards the Blood Bat Commander.

The vast pressure struck again; all the sinners felt their bodies suddenly sink, as if they were wearing heavy shackles, unable to move.

The sinner being sucked by the Blood Bat Commander was no exception; although his strength greatly increased after completing his transformation, he had no power to resist.

The Blood Bat Commander drained all the blood from the Devil Race in just a few breaths.

He didn't rest; his figure flashed, and he bit another sinner's neck, and the familiar scene played out again.

Lorraine shrieked, begging Ye Chen for forgiveness, but received no response; she could only watch helplessly as her companions fell one by one.

These people... she was the one who killed them.

As each sinner was sucked to death, the Blood Bat Commander's aura grew stronger and stronger, and his strength was also rapidly increasing.

Finally... it was Lorraine's turn.

The Blood Bat Commander secretly glanced at Ye Chen, saw that his expression hadn't changed at all, and only then did he dare to cling onto Lorraine's body.

Lorraine didn't struggle at all; for her, death at this moment felt more like liberation.

At this moment, Ye Chen's finger tapped the throne again.

A scene unfolded before Lorraine's eyes; the scene was the Kain City she was familiar with.

A sea of fire... a sea of fire.

The entire Kain City was engulfed in raging flames, and above the sky, a terrifying Dragon was continuously spewing flames.

And in its claws, it was holding two corpses, one on the left and one on the right.

They were two Sky Knights!

Countless residents struggled and wailed in agony in the sea of fire, then turned into ashes.

The entire city turned into a human purgatory.

Seeing this scene, Lorraine completely collapsed.

She had tried so hard to save them, yet nothing changed; instead, she had caused the deaths of even more people!

The Blood Bat Commander saw this scene and cooperatively slowed down his sucking speed, allowing Lorraine to head towards destruction amidst the double torment of body and spirit.

This not only pleased the Lord of the Abyss, but he could also savor blood filled with despair and pain.

Ye Chen glanced at the Blood Bat Commander with approval.

This little guy was much more cunning than Lorraine.

When Lorraine's body turned into a dried corpse and collapsed to the ground, the Blood Bat Commander's eternal night transformation was finally complete.

An eerie purple light suddenly burst forth from his scarlet vertical pupils, and purple demonic flames also rose around his body.

He lay prostrate on the corpse, trembling violently; the dark fur on his body slowly peeled off, revealing new, pale skin.

His originally hunched body slowly straightened; his internal organs continuously dissolved and restructured, and his bones made crisp cracking sounds.

As time slowly passed, the Blood Bat Commander's body gradually transformed into a human form, finally standing completely upright.

His dark bat wings turned into a black cloak draped over his body, and his body was enveloped in a blood mist.

He raised his hand and gazed at his new palm; a strange blood bead flowed at the tip of his pale, slender fingers.

He... was no longer that ridiculous large bat.
