When Pick woke up again, he was woken up by the heat.

Soon he was horrified to find himself tied to a stick, with a pile of bonfire underneath his buttocks.

Normal fire could not harm Pick's demonic body, but this fire was obviously different.

"You're awake? Did you sleep well?"

Just then, a voice suddenly sounded in his ears.

Pick turned his head abruptly and found Green sitting on the ground beside him, staring at him with a strange look in his eyes, as if looking at something delicious.

Pick suddenly smelled a fragrance and wondered where it was coming from.

He suddenly noticed Gothner sprinkling some powder on him.

"Does it smell good?"

"It smells good."

Pick nodded dumbly, it did smell good.

"That's right if it smells good."

Green said.

Just then, Pick suddenly realized something. He followed the scent and discovered that the fragrance was actually coming from himself.

He recalled what happened before he passed out and connected it with what he saw when he woke up just now.

Pick panicked instantly and started struggling violently, but found it was completely futile.

"Don't panic, it's useless."

Green looked at him with a smile on his face.

In addition to Green, there were Saroth, Elsa, and even Clitz sitting around.

Several people surrounded Pick in the center, while Pick was tied to a branch and roasted by the demon fire.

Gothner occasionally sprinkled some powder seasoning on Pick's body.

"Although I am no match for my kind in cooking, I am still much stronger than ordinary demons. Just sleep peacefully, I won't let you down as an ingredient."

Gothner's voice sounded in Pick's ears, like the whispers of a devil.

Pick's struggling became even more intense.

And he began to beg loudly.

"Don't! Spare me! Please spare me!! I won't do that kind of thing anymore. I will obediently follow your orders and do anything you want, even if it means giving up my identity as a demon king!! Please don't eat me!!"

The sound of a pig being slaughtered, that's probably it.

Green looked at Pick's ridiculous appearance and couldn't help but scorn.

"Alright, since you are begging so faithfully, I will show mercy and spare you. Gothner, untie him."

"Understood."

Gothner replied softly and then waved his hand at Pick. The ropes binding him disappeared instantly.

Pick's whole body followed the rules of gravity and fell onto the bonfire.

He immediately screamed in pain, after all, this bonfire, like the ropes that bound him earlier, was not ordinary.

Seeing Pick's miserable appearance, Clitz couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"Weren't you looking cool when you were torturing your fellow demons? How come you look like this now?"

Clitz had completely resigned himself to his fate, so when he saw Pick in this sorry state, he felt somewhat satisfied.

The Pig-Headed Demon was once one of the most trusted subordinates, especially this Pick. Clitz had high expectations for him, but he never expected such a thing to happen at this critical moment.

Even though Clitz is not a good magician, he is capable of causing harm to his fellow beings.

Or perhaps it's more accurate to say... he doesn't have the ability to do so, since he doesn't have any kin.

"If you want to survive, it's simple, just obey me."

Upon hearing Green's voice, Pick hurriedly stopped his antics and quickly approached Green. He prostrated on the ground like a loyal lackey, fearing that if Green became displeased, he would be killed on the spot.

"I am willing to obey you! Please, spare my life. I am willing to do anything!!"

"As you wish."

*Smack*

Pick was initially delighted upon hearing Green's words, but suddenly received a slap from Green. Immediately, a searing pain spread across one side of his face. At the same time, the same black patterns as Clitz and Gothner appeared on his face.

Pick also noticed that something had appeared on his face, but unfortunately his eyes didn't have the function to expand and contract, so he couldn't see it clearly.

The black patterns quickly disappeared, but Pick could still sense their presence.

Green took a few steps back and nodded in satisfaction.

"Now you are my loyal subordinate. Do whatever you want."

"Huh? Really? My lord, are you willing to spare me?"

"Of course it's true, as long as you obey me."

Pick nodded frantically, as if one second slower would make Green change his mind.

But quickly, Pick turned his head and his facial expression changed 180 degrees. However, he immediately turned back and bowed deeply to Green.

"Thank you, my lord, for granting me freedom!"

After saying that, Pick quickly ascended into the air as if afraid that he wouldn't be able to leave if he stayed a second longer.

However, just as Pick had flown up into the sky, he suddenly felt his face, which had been slapped by Green, becoming hot as if it were on fire.

Perplexed, Pick reached out his hand to touch his cheek, but as soon as his hand touched his face...

A violent energy surged out from deep within Pick, instantly wreaking havoc throughout his body.

Pick immediately lost the ability to move and found that his vision was becoming increasingly blurred.

Until his vision completely turned black.

*Bang*

In the sky, Pick's body, which had been teetering, suddenly exploded like a balloon.

Strangely, not a drop of blood spilled.

Gazing at Pick's fate, Green sighed somewhat helplessly.

"I gave you a chance, but you didn't want it."

Gothner, who was standing next to him, also nodded.

"That's right. Being capable of such cruelty towards one's own kind shows that he doesn't have any good intentions. But I never expected that the loyalty proof of Green Lord could possess such terrifying power..."

To be honest, when Pick exploded just now, Gothner didn't feel anything at all.

The only change was that Pick's aura suddenly disappeared.

Clitz, who was also witnessing this scene, was drenched in cold sweat.

At the same time, Clitz felt fortunate that he hadn't betrayed Green so quickly, thanks to the energy he had just obtained from the Heart of the Universe. Otherwise, he would probably meet the same fate.

And upon witnessing Pick's fate, Clitz didn't dare to entertain any thoughts of betrayal.

Maybe, it's not a bad idea to follow Green like this?

Clitz looked at Green and suddenly felt that Green's skills might far exceed his imagination.

Salou Uth was displeased and clicked his tongue.

"Such good food is gone just like that."

"Salou Uth, as the Demon King, you shouldn't feel too hungry. If you really want food, why not come to my territory? I'll have my subordinates prepare food and we can also celebrate the reputation of Lord Green spreading."

Everyone agreed with Gothner's proposal, and Green didn't refuse either.

To be honest, Green himself didn't expect that the skill he automatically learned after becoming the Demon King would have such great power, easily killing a being like Pick at that level.

But that's not the most important thing. The most important thing is the effect of this skill.

With this skill, there's no need to worry about being betrayed.

And just now, Pick, who had just become a Demon King, forever left the stage because of his foolish decision.

Not even a trace left behind.

With the cooperation of Gothner, Clitz, and Salou Uth, the newly born Demon King Green's name and reputation spread throughout the entire demon realm. Almost all demons were discussing this matter.

Who would have thought that in a demon realm where no new Demon King had been born for so long, there would suddenly emerge a being with strength far surpassing the three Demon Kings.

At the same time, the method of becoming a Demon King that Pick had exposed was also hidden away.

The method was even more straightforward. Green directly used the power of the Demon King to erase their memories.

Yes, Green discovered that he could erase the memories of ordinary demons.

Although it didn't work on Salou Uth and the others, it was indeed convenient in many ways.

It seems that Green might indeed become the ruler of the demon realm.

Gothner's subordinates are called the Blood Clan. Previously, they survived by drinking the blood of their comrades, but after becoming Gothner's subordinates, their physique evolved and they no longer needed to drink blood to sustain their lives.

Therefore, for the Blood Clan, Gothner is not only the Demon King they worship, but also their great benefactor.

Although the Blood Clan doesn't have any notable skills, they are naturally excellent at cooking.

They are well versed in various cooking methods for creatures in the demon realm and are also very skilled in using kitchen utensils.

Especially after becoming Gothner's subordinates, this ability became even more remarkable.

Now they have become the highest-level chefs in Gothner's territory.

But if we're talking about the highest-level, of course, it would be those chefs working in Gothner's castle.

Due to Gothner's past habits, these chefs hardly ever had any rest time. Now that Gothner has followed Green, although it's only been half a day, for these chefs, this half day is like paradise.

But soon, "bad news spread." Gothner came back, and he brought many people with him.

"Lord Green, let me introduce to you. This is the top-level chef of the Blood Clan. His culinary skills are the best I've tasted inside. I believe he can definitely satisfy you!"

As Gothner introduced, it was a "youth" with a delicate face.

"Don't be fooled by his appearance, he is actually several thousand years old, just like all members of the vampire clan," explained Gothner, seeing the curiosity in Green's eyes.

Several thousand years old? Damn, he's so young...! Elsa was surprised to learn about Gothner's kin, never expecting them to be such a bizarre race.

In a way, Elsa was envious of their long lifespan. After all, who wouldn't want eternal youth, especially girls?

Later on, Gothner made sure to introduce Green and the others to his kin, and when they heard that Green was the newly crowned strongest demon king, the entire vampire clan was ecstatic.

Especially when they heard Gothner say that he had decided to follow Green and no longer live his old life.

The vampire clan's chef even hugged Gothner in pain and tears.

Afterward, Green and the others enjoyed a top-notch meal here. Despite Gothner being known for his constant eating, the reality was not as messy as imagined.

Gothner's castle was actually very clean, and the dining area was quite nice.

Since the sky in the demon realm was a dark red and always remained so, Green couldn't tell the time here.

Not only that, but the dark red sky also looked unpleasant.

As a result, Green came up with a bold idea and shared it with Gothner and the others after the meal.

That idea was to transform the entire demon realm.
