Reception Room
"It's been a long time! Lord Rimuru, Lord Zhong Chen! Your subordinate has completed the mission and returned!"
Diablo, seeing Zhong Chen and Rimuru push the door open and walk in, quickly placed his right hand over his chest and bowed.
"Hahaha! It's just as I expected of you, Diablo! You've worked hard during this time!"
Zhong Chen smiled and praised Diablo.
"It is an honor for your subordinate to serve the two Lords, how can it be considered hard work!"
"Oh, right, please allow your subordinate to introduce these three to the two Lords!"
Zhong Chen and Rimuru followed Diablo's gaze towards the three people sitting on the sofa, drinking tea.
From their appearance, the three consisted of a white-haired older sister-type woman and two young girls.
"This is White, a Primordial Demon, just like your subordinate!"
Diablo pointed at the white-haired older sister-type woman and introduced her to Zhong Chen and Rimuru.
Zhong Chen, looking at this exquisitely beautiful woman, immediately understood.
Primordial White, the future King of Slaughter, one of Rimuru's Twelve Guardian Kings.
She was meticulous, proud, ruthless, and extremely skilled in precise magic power manipulation.
She was once the guardian deity (demon) of Silbelia, one of the Eastern Empire's subordinate nations.
On Princess Blanche Nam Silbelia's twelfth birthday, she appeared before her and spoke to her.
She offered to grant Blanche one wish in exchange for her body, but unexpectedly, the wish was merely to become her friend.
This wish made Blanche Primordial White's first friend.
On Blanche's sixteenth birthday,
Due to the betrayal of imperial nobles who wished to marry her and her own sister at the time, a despairing Blanche chose to transfer her body to White.
After gaining a body, White, to avenge her friend Blanche, annihilated the nation of Silbelia, causing the "Blood-Stained Lake Incident."
Afterward, to prevent Blanche's body from being harmed, she returned the body to Blanche.
She then cast a special sealing spell on Blanche, buried the body, severed her connection with the present world, and returned to the Demon Realm.
Later, she was forcibly subdued by Diablo and brought out of the Demon Realm to help with odd jobs.
After being soul-awakened by Rimuru, she even gained the ultimate ability to control life and death, the "King of the Underworld."
Her strength among the seven Primordial Demons was second only to Guy and Diablo.
Finally, Rimuru appointed her as a diplomatic military officer, and she even managed to dominate the Western Council without shedding a single drop of blood.
[With Testarossa now, it seems Robin is no longer needed as a diplomat! I'll find Robin another position later!]
Zhong Chen decided to let Primordial White Testarossa serve as the diplomat.
After all, in terms of combat power, the gap between Robin and this one was simply immeasurable.
"Heh heh! I heard Black say that his two masters are worthy and good rulers to pledge allegiance to!"
"However, it's not that easy to make me pledge allegiance!"
Primordial White elegantly raised her teacup, took a light sip, then smiled charmingly at Zhong Chen and spoke.
If Zhong Chen hadn't seen the coldness in her eyes, he would have thought she had fallen for him.
"Oh my! Then how do you need me to prove myself worthy of allegiance, Demon!"
Zhong Chen also showed a brilliant smile and asked Primordial White.
"Heh heh! It's very simple! As long as you can defeat me, I will swear allegiance to you! I just don't know if you dare to accept the challenge!"
Primordial White stared intently into Zhong Chen's eyes, her tone laced with a teasing hint.
"That's right, as long as you can defeat us, we will pledge allegiance to you!"
"Hmm!"
Primordial Yellow and Primordial Violet, sitting by the side, also spoke with expressions of agreement.
"Heh yah! You're all very arrogant. How about this, I won't bully you, all three of you come at once!"
Hearing Zhong Chen's arrogant words, a trace of annoyance flashed in Primordial White's eyes.
"Oh my! It seems you are very confident in your own strength! Then let's go outside!"
With that, led by Primordial White, the other two also stood up, intending to walk out.
Zhong Chen, seeing the three intending to leave, quickly called out to them and said:
"No need to go out, right here is fine! Anyway, it will be over soon!"
"You're too arrogant, fellow! We are Primordial Demons, how dare you underestimate us!"
Primordial Yellow, seeing Zhong Chen disregard them so much, couldn't help but question him.
"Heh heh! What's there for me to fear from a yellow-haired girl like you! With that figure of yours that you can run horses on?"
The true yellow-haired girl instantly broke down from Zhong Chen's words.
Although demons had no gender before receiving souls,
But just by looking at the appearance she designed for herself, one could tell that she actually still considered herself a girl.
"I... I... You just wait, you'll see how I teach you a lesson!"
"Yellow! Don't be impulsive! I can feel that this Guy is not simple!"
Primordial Violet looked at the nonchalant Zhong Chen with a solemn expression.
"Teach me a lesson? With you, a yellow...-haired... girl!"
Zhong Chen teased Primordial Yellow word by word, then with a flip of his right hand, an ancient longsword appeared in his grasp.
That's right, this was Linglong, the high-quality imitation of the Xuanyuan Sword that hadn't appeared in a long time, the protagonist's destined weapon.
Linglong, having just emerged, appeared particularly excited, instantly breaking free from Zhong Chen's hand and continuously flying around him.
For Linglong, she felt that her status as the boss was almost gone.
Her master now seemed to prefer that damned philanderer, the human emperor banner.
Zhong Chen, looking at Linglong flying around him, also found it amusing.
"Alright, alright! It's my fault, I shouldn't have kept you in space all this time!"
Hearing Zhong Chen's words, Linglong stopped circling, slowly floated to Zhong Chen's right hand, her sword body trembling slightly.
As if saying, 'It's good that you know, Master, if you keep this up, I'll ignore you.'
"Heh heh..."
"Hey, are you done yet, fellow!"
Hearing Primordial Yellow disrespect Zhong Chen multiple times,
Diablo, who had been standing silently by the side, a sharp glint flashed in his eyes, and he spoke in a cold voice:
"Yellow! If you dare to disrespect Lord Zhong Chen again, be prepared to revive in the Demon Realm!"
"I..."
Primordial Yellow, hearing Diablo's words, wanted to retort but then thought of how she couldn't defeat him and shut her mouth.
Not to mention Diablo's significant increase in strength after absorbing souls, even in the Demon Realm, she couldn't defeat that pervert Diablo.
"Alright, Diablo, stop scaring her. Since you're anxious, then let's begin!"
"If the three of you can make me move one step, I lose!"
Zhong Chen shrugged at the three Primordial Demons in front of him and said.
To be honest, it wasn't Zhong Chen being overconfident; it was that the three, not yet having undergone soul awakening, were far weaker in the present world than in the Demon Realm.
At best, they were three S-ranks, truly negligible for him, who stood at the peak of the world's combat power.
"Then I won't be polite, my future Lord!"
[I'd rather you call me 'Husband Lord'!]
Zhong Chen, hearing Primordial White's older sister-type voice, couldn't help but think this in his heart.
"Fire Magic! Fire Tornado!"
As Primordial White's words fell, a scorching hot fire dragon swept towards Zhong Chen.
At the same time, the other two Primordials also launched their attacks simultaneously.
"Forbidden Magic! Death Poison Generation!"
"You fellow, take this spear!"
Zhong Chen watched the magic and the long spear arrive in an instant, making no movement, only softly saying:
"Linglong!"
Linglong instantly appeared in front of the golden spear thrown by Primordial Yellow.
"Clang!"
Linglong's sword body struck the spear shaft of the golden spear with a fierce impact, and the golden spear's momentum instantly vanished.
The golden spear, stripped of its power, fell directly to the ground with a clang.
Then, Linglong gently swayed her sword body, emitting two faint sword qi that dispersed the other two spells.
Having completed all of this, Linglong quickly flew to Zhong Chen's eyes, her sword body trembling continuously, as if waiting for her master's praise!
"Heh heh! You did very well! As expected of you!"
Zhong Chen looked at Linglong, smiled, and praised her.
"A mere weapon can block my magic!"
The smile on Primordial White's face gradually disappeared, and she seriously observed Linglong.
"It seems I underestimated you. I apologize for my rudeness!"
"However, what comes next won't be child's play..."
