After merging the Devil's crystal, Bai Chen could clearly feel an extremely evil power within him.
This power was called—Dominion.
Its function was to dominate all creatures that subjectively felt inferior to Bai Chen; those under Dominion would completely obey Bai Chen's commands.
The effect was simple, yet extremely violent.
Moreover, compared to similar abilities like "brainwashing," "Dominion" was much deeper and offered almost no possibility of resistance.
Brainwashing at least required some ritual, but "Dominion" could be activated directly as long as the conditions were met.
Not only that, the definition of "inferior" was extremely broad.
The easiest way to understand it was in terms of strength.
At the same time, Bai Chen also knew the source of the power.
—Chainsaw Man.
Or rather, Chain Saw Man.
It tells the story of a young boy living in poverty who, after merging with the Chainsaw Devil Pochita, embarks on a journey of demon hunting and growth.
The plot is simple, brutal, and quite bizarre.
It is a world where humans and devils coexist.
Devils often cause chaos, and humans, in order to maintain world peace, formed a demon hunter organization.
Some signed contracts with devils to gain powerful abilities, becoming fiends, while others did not.
Devils could be born from any tangible object or intangible concept.
Tangible examples include the Tomato Devil, Muscle Devil, Bat Devil, and so on.
Intangible examples include the Violence Devil.
The Dominion Devil was also a type of Devil born from natural society.
Besides these, there was also the most powerful type of Devil.
These were the "Primal Devils" that had existed in Hell since birth.
These types of Devils could already use conceptual and law-like offensive methods, and were considered the strongest Devils in the setting.
"...So the Bad Woman is the supporting character Makima from that story?"
Recalling the manga he had read, Bai Chen frowned.
Based on Makima's character and actions in the story, "Bad Woman" was a fitting title.
"With her personality, it's no wonder she hasn't spoken in the Chat Group, but now that I've drawn her power, she probably can't sit still anymore."
After all, her trump card was "Dominion," and she had acted recklessly based on this power.
Now the Chat Group had spent some points to draw her power; anyone would be unable to keep their composure.
Having guessed the new member's origin, Bai Chen didn't think much of it.
They were all in the same Chat Group anyway, so they would surely interact in the future.
Right now, he was more interested in trying out his new ability... The next day, at noon.
The sky was somewhat overcast, with clouds piled one after another, looking like a storm was brewing.
"Is it delicious?"
Bai Chen, having finished his practice, was feeding the black-haired loli with a spoon.
"Mm..."
Little Mariya Yuri's cheeks were slightly red, and she slowly nodded.
After Bai Chen, who was bored, finished feeding her, the little girl seemed to have something on her mind, hesitating to speak, only looking down at her toes.
"If there's anything, just tell me."
Bai Chen asked.
Mariya Yuri hesitated for a few seconds, then whispered, "I... I'm a little worried and homesick."
"It's been so long since you left, it's normal for a child as young as you to miss home."
Bai Chen nodded.
"However, I've already contacted your family, and they agreed to let you stay in Milan. If you really miss them, we can video call, or I can send someone to bring them over. As for schooling, I can also have the most professional renowned teachers guide them, so there's absolutely no need to worry."
"Okay... Okay."
Mariya Yuri opened her mouth.
The little girl didn't know how to refuse, so she could only obediently comply.
After the meal.
A teacher took Mariya Yuri away, preparing for her to receive the best education alongside Liliana.
And as Bai Chen was preparing for his afternoon nap, Diana, who came to him, reported a piece of news.
"Oh? The Commander-in-chiefs of other Magic Societies in Italy want to meet me?"
Bai Chen asked, leaning against the doorframe.
The news of him becoming a God Slayer had most likely spread.
However, because he needed to familiarize himself with his abilities, he hadn't thought about demanding loyalty from other Magic Societies.
Now they came to him themselves?
Was it because they feared the power of a God Slayer and couldn't sit still?
No.
The Commander-in-chiefs of Magic Societies were all old and cunning individuals; it was unlikely they would rush to pledge loyalty to him.
In that case, there was probably only one reason.
"Location and time?"
Bai Chen asked.
"Tomorrow evening at six o'clock, on the summit of the Alps."
Diana, kneeling on the ground, looked up at Bai Chen. She couldn't discern the expression in the young man's eyes, unable to guess his thoughts.
Upon hearing this news, he shouldn't be so calm.
Moreover, she also didn't know why the Commander-in-chiefs would suddenly choose to meet the New King, as she herself was not a Commander-in-chief of a Magic Society.
"Good, tell them I agree."
Bai Chen responded with a standard smile.
"Yes, then, my King, your subordinate will take her leave."
Subsequently, Diana left, feeling a faint unease in her heart..
