Alright then...

Faced with Leon's explanation that was as good as not saying anything, the Capricorn Director nodded without saying much, but secretly made up his mind that once the matter of the Realm of the Dead was over, he would return to the Heavenly Mountain and capture all those "Leon-made demons" for research to understand the reason for the Capricorn Secret Technique's mutation.

"By the way."

While the Capricorn Director was pondering the reasons and sending back those Leon-made demons, Leon seemed to have thought of something and called out:

"Please wait a moment, don't send them all back just yet, leave one for me temporarily."

Leave an angel... a demon for you?

Faced with Leon's request, the Capricorn Director was taken aback and then nodded, immediately bringing over a fish-shaped demon with four human faces on its gills and six bat-like fins on its tail fin, and presented it to Leon.

Leon then signaled on his badge panel, summoning the [I Am the Demon] tag anomaly controller and placing it in the badge slot, then touched the fish head.

"Buzz"

[Name: Gid Scale Demon (Fallen, Suffering, Torment)]

[Appearance: A fish-shaped demon with four faces on its head and six wings split from its tail, emitting a strong fishy smell and accompanied by the wailing and lament of unknown beings when approached.]

[Abilities: Demonic Body, Mental Devastation, Intensified Pain]

[Cost: While borrowing its power, one will continuously suffer contamination from the corruption of evil.]

[Archive: Originally a high-tier Gid Scale Angel, representing suffering and torment among the nine angelic tribes, but lost rationality and self after being contaminated by the corruption of evil in the Pool of Resurrection, becoming a creature that only pursues malice.

However, after purification by the current Aquarius Director Leon Laine of the Bureau of Cleansing, this angel broke free from the shackles of evil corruption and suffered even deeper and terrifying contamination, transforming from a creature that only pursued malice to a creature with the instinct to utterly destroy everything.]

[Evaluation: Evil is still your evil! You pus-filled scum!]

[Contamination Value: 39.5]

"..."

What a mess!

Forcibly ignoring the increasingly bizarre archive and evaluation, Leon activated the [I Am the Demon] badge with a dark expression and issued a command to the fish-shaped demon in front of him. 𝐟𝗿𝐞𝚎𝚠𝐞𝚋𝕟𝐨𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝕔𝕠𝚖

"Open your mouth!"

In response to Leon's command, the Gid Scale Demon let out a muffled roar, its eyes filled with the desire to destroy everything, and opened its huge mouth filled with sharp teeth, suddenly... spit on the floor of the Capricorn Palace.

He could really do it.

Controlling the fierce-eyed fish-shaped demon to spin around in place and wipe off the spit on the tile floor of the Capricorn Palace with its fins, Leon made the demon hop into the range of the [Heavenly Pathway], then thoughtfully asked:

"Capricorn, are there many divine entities in the Heavenly Mountain that have been contaminated?"

"Very, very many... The total number of divine entities in the Heavenly Mountain is roughly about a third of the Abyssal Demons..."

Seeing the Gid Scale Demon suddenly "leaving on its own," the Capricorn Director seemed to understand something, taking a deep breath and with eyes full of shock said:

"Aquarius... could you possibly..."

"That's right."

Nodding slightly, Leon explained:

"In direct contact with demons, I can easily control them... including these 'purified' demons."

"Gasp..."

Getting an affirmative response, the Capricorn Director couldn't help but inhale sharply, then unconsciously widened his eyes and nervously asked:

"Does this control have a limit? How many? How long? Does it consume a lot of power?"

The limit... that would be the badge, right? Controlling demons is the wearing effect of [I Am the Demon], which must occupy a slot to take effect, and if I don't swap out this badge...

"Basically no restrictions."

After hesitating slightly, considering that his current director position is quite secure and unlikely to face any targeting or envy, and instead can gain a lot of support, Leon decided to be straightforward and revealed:

"As long as I don't actively relinquish control, the number is unlimited, the duration should last until I die, and as for power consumption... it's basically negligible."

"?!?!?!"

Doesn't that mean, if you come with me to the Heavenly Mountain, purify all the angels into demons, the pollution in the Heavenly Mountain doesn't matter at all? Plus, there are the Abyssal Demons! If you could touch every single demon in the Abyss...

"It's actually not as powerful as it sounds."

Noticing the Capricorn Director's incredibly disordered emotions, Leon thought for a moment and reminded:

"Demons under my control, if they leave my range of perception, cannot be controlled particularly precisely, and can only execute some pre-issued, somewhat mechanical commands, and this control can only be done one by one. If there are too many, I can't manage them all.

Even if the number I can control is unlimited, I can't convey my intentions to every demon, which means I've essentially lost control over them. So this ability isn't as powerful as you think."

But that's still terrifying! This ability of yours... this...

Taking several deep breaths to calm his excited emotions, the Capricorn Director, with a slightly flushed face, said:

"Aquarius, have you mentioned this ability to anyone else?"

"Not yet, currently only you and I know."

"That's good... Aquarius! You must continue to keep this secret! Don't even tell Joan and others!"

Grabbing Leon's shoulder, the Capricorn Director urgently instructed:

"Once the existence of this ability is exposed, all the demons in the Abyss will go mad! To avoid losing their freedom entirely, becoming slaves under your control, even demons will set aside their internal conflicts and all unite against you!

So never think about capturing a few demon gods to enslave with your ability, or purifying the Heavenly Mountain... At least not until you're strong enough!"

Can't use it?

Hearing this, Leon couldn't help but frown. The reason he chose to reveal this was to capture a few True God level divine entities in the Heavenly Mountain for "purification," then take them to the Realm of the Dead for ambush to reduce the Bureau's pressure against the Overlords of the Dead Realm. But it seems according to the Capricorn Director...

"Don't use it! You must keep it hidden!"

Noticing Leon's expression, the Capricorn Director quickly reminded:

"There are countless demon gods in the Abyss Hundred Prisons, and they don't lack abilities to glimpse the future. I don't know why they haven't targeted you yet, but since you've kept this ability hidden, it must continue to remain hidden!

Aquarius! Once this ability is discovered by the Abyss demon gods, it will surely lead to an endless vendetta, and if the Abyss Hundred Prisons mobilize completely, even the Watcher's Palace might not withstand it!"
