Chapter 054: The Demon Dragon's Heart and Kumoko's Evolutionary Hope!
In the livestream, a red lotus floated in the air.
[Undying Red Lotus: Contains powerful flames of the red lotus. Consuming it grants control over formidable fire abilities and provides an inexhaustible source of energy.]
[Nine-Tails: This seems pretty good!]
[One-Tail: More than good! Red Lotus Godzilla has atomic breath that can annihilate nations in one strike, but this attack consumes an enormous amount of energy. Even though Red Lotus Godzilla recovers quickly, it can't use the atomic breath for long periods. But if it had the Undying Red Lotus, it could continuously release atomic breath. It would be like a destructive demon god, capable of destroying everything!]
[Nagato: A terrifying treasure. It might not hold much value for others, but for Red Lotus Godzilla, it's an unparalleled treasure that far surpasses other items!]
[Third Hokage: With the Undying Red Lotus, Red Lotus Godzilla's threat level skyrockets. Although its power won't increase drastically, its endurance will, which is frightening!]
[Mei Terumi: I hope I never have to face such a terrifying creature in my life. It's too frightening! In terms of destructive power, the previous two creatures are nothing compared to it!]
[Gaara: Yes, Red Lotus Godzilla's only weaknesses are its reaction speed and movement speed. Otherwise, it would be truly invincible!]
...
"The Undying Red Lotus, how wonderful!"
Red Lotus Godzilla was ecstatic upon seeing this reward.
This item was highly beneficial to it but not so much to others, including its master.
Without hesitation, it extracted the Undying Red Lotus.
As soon as the Undying Red Lotus appeared, its scorching heat caused the surrounding seawater to boil.
Red Lotus Godzilla didn't wait any longer and swallowed the Undying Red Lotus in one gulp.
Boom!!!
The energy within it surged continuously, and the Undying Red Lotus provided an endless stream of energy, ensuring that its internal atomic reactor never ran out of power.
"So powerful!" Red Lotus Godzilla exclaimed in excitement.
It had previously heard from its master that the true Godzilla consumed nuclear fuel and waste, but there was very little nuclear fuel in the Shinobi world, so it had to use other materials as fuel. As a result, its combat endurance was always a significant issue.
But now, with the Undying Red Lotus, it no longer had to worry!
...
"That Red Lotus guy must be over the moon with the Undying Red Lotus!" Honghong remarked.
Rongrong chuckled and said, "Now that it has the Undying Red Lotus, I don't have to worry about finding fuel for it anymore. That's one expense saved."
"Rongrong, do you really care about such a small expense?" Ye Tian asked.
Rongrong suddenly became serious and said, "Master, you don't handle the household expenses, so you don't realize that you're a major spender. The resources for your subordinates' cultivation, as well as ours, are massive expenses. We need to save wherever we can!"
"That's true!" Ye Tian acknowledged, understanding the resource consumption issue.
Back then, he had worked hard to accumulate resources. It was only now that he could relax a little.
Soon, the fourth reward for the Pet Rankings was announced.
This reward belonged to the Slime King.
Thud, thud, thud!!!
In the livestream, a beating heart appeared—a black heart exuding a terrifying aura.
Clearly, it belonged to a terrifying creature.
[Orochimaru: A heart? I wonder what creature this heart belonged to.]
[Kakuzu: I don't know what heart it is, but I really want it! I'm willing to trade my own heart for it!]
[Hidan: Kakuzu, who wants your lousy heart? This heart is definitely a priceless treasure!]
[Mei Terumi: This heart looks strange. I wouldn't take it even if it were given to me!]
[Tsunade: I wouldn't dare take it either!]
At this point, the heart's description was revealed.
[Demon Dragon's Heart: The heart of a top-tier Demon King species, the Demon Dragon. Consuming the heart can enhance the power of a Demon King, grant a Demon King skill, and complete one's evolution. For non-Demon King species, there is a high chance of evolving into a Demon King!]
[Kakashi: A Demon King... The Slime King is a Demon King, so this heart should be very helpful to him!]
[Might Guy: Humans should also be able to consume the Demon Dragon's Heart, but it would turn them into a Demon King, so they wouldn't be human anymore.]
[Orochimaru: If it were me, I wouldn't mind abandoning my human body. A Demon King species is undoubtedly a life form far more powerful than humans!]
[Kakuzu: Such a powerful heart... I want it even more now!]
...
In Ryuchi Cave.
"The Demon Dragon's Heart, a dragon's heart, even if it's from the Demon Dragon clan... If I were to obtain it, I might be able to evolve into a Demon Dragon, even if it means turning into a Demon King species. It's still worth it. But alas, such a treasure won't come my way," White Snake Sage said with envy.
However, thinking about how she had also made it onto the Pet Rankings, even though she was only in the teens, she should still receive a decent reward.
She immediately began to look forward to her reward.
Meanwhile, Ye Tian, Honghong, Rongrong, and Yaya all fixed their eyes on the Demon Dragon's Heart.
Kumoko also gazed at the Demon Dragon's Heart, feeling that it could help her complete her evolution and become a Demon King species spider.
Her eyes filled with longing.
However, she didn't speak up because this reward belonged to the Slime King.
But Ye Tian noticed Kumoko's thoughts and sent a message to the Slime King Rimuru.
The Rimuru wasn't far away, and having learned spatial teleportation, he returned quickly.
"Master!" the Slime King greeted respectfully.
"Rimuru, the Demon Dragon's Heart can enhance your power, but it can't help you with your next evolution. It would be more beneficial to Kumoko. If she consumes the Demon Dragon's Heart, she has a nearly 100% chance of evolving into a Demon King species and successfully taking human form. I'm not sure what rewards Kumoko will receive later, but they might not help her complete her evolution. Therefore, I need you to give up this heart," Ye Tian said.
"Master, I'll give the Demon Dragon's Heart to Kumoko!" the Slime King replied calmly, showing no signs of anger. After all, it was just a treasure, and he didn't care much about it.
"I won't let you suffer a loss!"
With that, Ye Tian took out the Blade of the Evil God. "This Blade of the Evil God is for you. You played a significant role in destroying the Evil God's headquarters, so this weapon suits you well!"
"I love the Blade of the Evil God! Thank you, Master!" the Slime King Rimuru said excitedly.
The Blade of the Evil God was perfect for a Demon King. With it, his power would increase significantly.
Moreover, the Blade of the Evil God was ranked seventh on the Weapon Rankings, meaning it would continue to earn rewards. Even if the rewards became less impressive over time, the accumulated benefits would be unimaginable.
In this way, he had gained even more!
"Master, we don't have weapons yet!" Honghong pouted playfully.
Yaya and the others also looked at him with longing eyes.
"You all... Creating weapons is very time-consuming. Once you've gathered the materials, I'll take the time to forge one for each of you!" Ye Tian replied helplessly.
"Master, I need a weapon too!" Garaga said softly.
"Get lost!" Ye Tian scolded directly.
Garaga covered his mouth and didn't dare speak again.
Why was there such a gap between beasts? Was it because he was the only one who had attacked the master and begged for mercy before becoming his pet?
"I really want to say that the Demon Dragon's Heart suits me too. I could use it to become a dragon!" Garaga thought.
But he didn't dare speak these thoughts aloud, nor did he dare compete with Kumoko for the Demon Dragon's Heart.
His status was far lower than Kumoko's in the master's heart. Kumoko was the master's precious darling!
"Extract!" the Rimuru commanded, extracting the Demon Dragon's Heart.
Buzz!!!
A terrifying Demon King aura spread from the heart, causing Garaga to tremble. The dragon's lineage of the Demon Dragon was far superior to the Flood Dragon's, overwhelming him.
As for the others, they were unaffected by the aura.
"Kumoko, take the Demon Dragon's Heart and evolve!" Ye Tian instructed.
"Yes, my beloved master! Mwah..."
Kumoko took the Demon Dragon's Heart and went to a nearby training room to refine it.
Once she successfully refined the Demon Dragon's Heart, it wouldn't take long for her to evolve into a Demon King species and take human form.
"Hmph, once I take human form, I can massage and shoulder rub for the master too. That spot won't just belong to Honghong and the others anymore—it'll be mine too!" Kumoko thought happily.
