Chapter 107: This Saves a Lot of Trouble
As soon as these words were spoken, the entire venue fell silent.
Gyoro-Gyoro, who had been delivering a passionate speech with his right hand raised at a 45-degree angle, also stopped talking, and his single massive eye couldn't help but squint.
"Oh? Who has an objection? Does someone disagree with Lord Orochi holding the position of Monster King?"
"Me, of course!"
That arrogant voice rang out again. This time, the Monsters finally heard it clearly; the voice was coming from among the Dragon-Level Executives at the highest point.
In his seat, a small, black, humanoid creature with a simple art style was staring at Orochi with a face full of disdain.
"The only reason I joined this so-called Monster Association was simply to team up and eliminate the Hero Association, not to have some so-called Monster King suddenly appear over my head! I don't accept this guy!"
This very small black Monster was none other than the Dragon-Level Executive, Black Sperm.
Beside Black Sperm, other Dragon-Level Monsters with equally powerful auras sat in their seats, looking down at Gyoro-Gyoro and Monster King Orochi.
A Monster over ten meters tall, with a very sturdy build, skin covered in black, and dozens of crimson pupils on his head, sat upright in his seat.
Dragon-Level Executive, Goketsu.
To the right of Black Sperm, a slender yellow cat-like Monster was yawning lazily. His already thin body looked as if it were made of water, and his sharp claws glinted with a chilling light.
Dragon-Level Executive, Nyan.
"Hmm? What's wrong? Why are you looking at me? Are you mocking my face!"
A furious voice rang out. Everyone looked toward the source and saw that in the Dragon-Level Executives' section, an extremely hideous, large human with thinning hair had already stood up, his clothes nearly bursting from his surging muscles.
Dragon-Level Executive, Fuhrer Ugly.
"How boring. Just a bunch of ants bowing before God, bickering pointlessly all day."
Beside Fuhrer Ugly, a scruffy-looking ordinary human leaned lazily back in his chair. He had unshaven stubble on his chin, messy hair covering his head, and a tattered cape draped over his back.
But none of the Monsters present dared to underestimate him, for this guy possessed terrifying destructive power, capable of destroying a city with a wave of his hand.
Dragon-Level Executive, Homeless Emperor.
"Gurgle-gack!"
An unintelligible cry reached the Monsters' ears. A strange creature that looked like a large soup dumpling, with short limbs, no facial features, and only a giant mouth, rolled around occasionally in the Dragon-Level Executives' section.
Dragon-Level Executive, Gums.
Although these six Dragon-Level Executives were all doing different things, their pressure was simultaneously directed at the massive presence in the center of the arena, Monster King Orochi.
Clearly, none of the Dragon-Level Executives wanted a Monster King to suddenly appear over their heads and suppress them.
As for why only six Dragon-Level Executives were present, the reason was simple.
As a Dragon-Level Executive, Elder Centipede was just too damn big. Even if the Monster Association were expanded several times over, it likely wouldn't fit the entire Elder Centipede, so he naturally couldn't attend the meeting.
And Rover, another powerful Dragon-Level Executive, was a disobedient fellow who refused to sit quietly in his seat. Gyoro-Gyoro had no choice but to let him run wild in his own territory.
As for Evil Natural Water, this thing had no brains at all, so calling it to a meeting was useless.
Gyoro-Gyoro scanned the six Dragon-Level Executives who were emitting pressure, thinking to himself that things were looking bad.
This is troublesome... I knew these unruly Monsters... wouldn't acknowledge Monster King Orochi so easily... but I didn't expect such strong rejection... The main task right now isn't an internal war, but solving external conflicts together.
Thinking of this, Gyoro-Gyoro spoke, his somewhat eerie and feminine voice echoing throughout the hollow:
"Since everyone has such strong objections, then after we deal with the Hero Association, anyone who wants to become the Monster King can challenge Lord Orochi. The winner will have priority!"
His meaning was clear: I don't care if you want to be the Monster King, but at least finish the fight first. Once it's over, you can fight for it as you please.
Black Sperm clearly understood the underlying meaning in Gyoro-Gyoro's words. Although he let out a disdainful snort, he still sat back down in his seat.
Seeing that even Black Sperm, who had started the trouble, had sat down, the other Dragon-Level Executives found it hard to press the issue directly and withdrew their Killing Intent one after another.
Seeing this impending civil war nipped in the bud, Gyoro-Gyoro breathed a secret sigh of relief and then resumed his speech:
"Next, we will deploy several strong Demon-level Monsters to various major cities. You can destroy to your heart's content, slaughter as you wish, and release your nature freely! Do whatever you want!"
These words resonated deeply with the Monsters. As Monsters whose souls had been corrupted, most of them were naturally violent and fond of slaughter, with the darkness in their hearts constantly expanding.
But all along, due to the existence of the Hero Association, whenever a Monster caused chaos in a city, they were easily surrounded and killed by several heroes working together.
And now, Gyoro-Gyoro was giving them a chance to vent their stress and slaughter to their heart's content!
"Great! I've been waiting for this! Today, I'm going to tear ten humans apart with my bare hands! No, fifty!"
"Humans, such weak creatures, dare to build settlements like cities that destroy nature. To protect the environment, I must destroy all the cities!"
"Hahahaha! I want to see if those heroes can keep up with my extreme speed, and if their heads can see their own bodies after I slash them off! Jie-jie-jie-jie-jie!!"
Listening to the wild laughter of the Demon-level Monsters, a hint of helplessness flashed in Gyoro-Gyoro's eyes.
Although he knew these Demon-level Monsters lived very suppressed lives, he hadn't expected them to be this suppressed. Just one chance to go out and kill made them beyond excited.
And in the very next instant, a sudden change occurred!
Boom! Boom! Boom!!
The ground above began to vibrate, a large amount of rubble fell from the sky, and cracks rapidly spread across the ceiling as if it would collapse at any second.
"What's going on?"
"Is it an earthquake? Or have the heroes attacked?"
"You've got to be kidding me!"
Gyoro-Gyoro and the Dragon-Level Executives all looked up, staring at the ceiling that was about to shatter, their eyes filled with gravity and shock.
These powerful beings all sensed that some terrifying existence was about to appear.
Bang!
Accompanied by the shattering of the ceiling, a tall blonde figure descended from the sky, floating steadily in mid-air, as the thunderous roar of the King Engine resonated throughout the venue.
"Since you're all here, this saves a lot of trouble."
