Lord of Prayer-Chapter 174 - 133: Pleasure

"I will kill you... I swear I’ll kill you..."

On the obstetrics operating table, Liu Hanyan’s limbs were tightly bound in place. Her entire body was soaked with sweat, and a few strands of hair stuck to her face. She was panting as if she had just finished a ten-kilometer run.

Her gaze, filled with venomous hatred, was fixed on Dr. Qin, who had just put his pants back on. It was as if she wanted to slice him into a thousand pieces, to flay him and rip out his tendons.

As a professional assassin who had killed countless people and had made a name for herself in the underworld, Liu Hanyan didn’t consider her body to be that precious. She had already used it to carry out assassinations back in her teens. Sometimes, to blow off steam, she would even proactively seek out pleasure and group activities. But this time was different.

Some kind of unknown seal had been placed on her body, preventing her from using even a shred of her Extraordinary Power. What was worse, after the two-hour "exercise" just now, she had somehow formed a wicked Demon Contract with that man.

Recalling what had just happened, Liu Hanyan’s heart sank. The moment that man touched her, her mind was overwhelmed by a desire as powerful as a monstrous flood. She became like a beast in heat, actively seeking pleasure. But it wasn’t her own will; rather, her inner desires had been magnified thousands upon thousands of times, making it impossible for her to think of anything else.

’The Demon of Desire and Procreation...’ Liu Hanyan recalled the information revealed by the presence in the darkness and came to a clear conclusion about her abnormal state—she had undoubtedly been influenced by the Desire Demon.

"The last of the materials is ready. When are you going to go and tie up the others?" a charming voice asked from the darkness.

"I don’t need to tie them up. They’ll come on their own," Dr. Qin said, taking out his phone and sending a message to one of his god-daughters.

—Those who are kept have excellent professional etiquette; they come whenever they’re called.

"What in the world are you trying to do? If you want women, I have plenty of contacts on the dark web. I can find any type you want to play with. As long as you let me go, I can get you money, power, status... The Soul Contract, we can keep the Soul Contract. I will never be your enemy." Liu Hanyan tried to negotiate as calmly as she could. As an Ascender who had once made sacrifices to an Abyssal Demon, she had a very bad feeling about this.

Dr. Qin had no intention of responding to her. He just left the Dark Room with his phone in hand.

"My lord, my lord... I am a follower of the Blood Monarch! I have a contract with the Blood Demon..." Seeing him leave, Liu Hanyan hastily begged the presence in the darkness. "Whatever you want, I can give it to you! I’m a Tier Three Ascender, a hundred times stronger than that man. There must be something I can do..."

"You poor little thing," a pitying voice sounded.

A curvaceous, fiery figure emerged from the deep darkness. In the faint light from the instruments, one could see she was wearing pitiably little clothing. She had two horns on her head, a pair of demon wings on her back, and a long, slender black tail swaying behind her, its tip shaped like a heart. Her face was exquisite and flawless.

—A pure-blooded Succubus.

The first moment she saw her, Liu Hanyan felt a raging fire ignite in her chest.

The Desire Demon strode elegantly closer, leaned over the side of the bed, and rested her chin on her hand. With a slight smirk, every move she made exuded a soul-stirring charm as she said slowly:

"What is about to unfold is a twisted, extreme love; a forbidden ethic unacceptable in the mortal world; a bionic human’s doubt of their own self... The ripples it will truly cause could even create worldwide turmoil...

With such great entertainment on the way, what makes you think you can compare to any of this?

If you have to blame someone, blame yourself for being unlucky. For having a face that’s seventy percent similar to his daughter’s, and for delivering yourself to our doorstep at this exact moment... Speaking of which, I wonder if he was hallucinating just now?"

Liu Hanyan was bewildered. ’That weakling could cause worldwide turmoil? What kind of joke is that?’

"Relax, child. I’ll make sure your death is painless."

The Desire Demon gently caressed Liu Hanyan’s cheek and whispered in her ear:

"I will let you die in the throes of absolute ecstasy.

In this world, only joy can lead directly to the most beautiful Heaven.

The Lord of Joy will grant you eternal bliss."

「Half an hour later.」

Dr. Qin carried his first god-daughter into the secret chamber, placed the unconscious Liu Ying on a prepared bed, and bound her hands and feet.

A little over ten minutes later, he carried down a second unconscious god-daughter, followed by a third, and a fourth.

"Because of what happened earlier, the Star Association has increased its patrols and alert level. Are you sure the ritual won’t be detected?" Qin Xu asked.

"I’ve already set up an isolation Barrier here. As long as no Tier Four Power erupts, it won’t be detected."

"Good." Qin Xu nodded. He cleared all the unnecessary equipment from the Dark Room, leaving an empty space. Using a Pink Crystal Stone, he inscribed an Inverted Pentagram Array on the floor, filling it with complex Mysticism spells and Abyss Curses.

Next, he placed the five sacrifices on the five points of the pentagram, pushed the Rehabilitation Pod to the center, and embedded Extraordinary Materials into the array.

"HAHAHAHA..."

At that moment, Liu Hanyan, the only one still conscious, suddenly burst out laughing. "So, so that’s it! You want to resurrect your daughter... You’re actually asking a Demon to resurrect your daughter? How insane are you?

No wonder you had to have me. All these women have your genetic material in them. That way, the body re-formed by this forbidden ritual will be genetically your daughter. Just how desperate are you to go back to your old life? You’d even replicate something so unnecessary?

HAHAHAHA... It’s impossible! I’m telling you, it’s impossible!"

Looking at Dr. Qin’s expressionless face, Liu Hanyan gave a strange laugh. "From the moment you made a deal with a Demon, you had already fallen into the Abyss.

For the rest of your life, you can forget about returning to your old life with your daughter.

Soon, very soon... it won’t be long before you regret this!"

"So what?" Dr. Qin retorted coldly.

"As long as she can live again, I’m willing to pay any price.

For a father, the pain of losing a daughter far surpasses any other sorrow in the world. A cold-blooded killer like you, who has murdered countless people, could never understand the agony I’ve been through these past few months."

"Heh... I’m a cold-blooded killer? You’re so obsessed, what’s the difference between you and me?" Liu Hanyan sneered. "Let me ask you a very simple question. These people you’ve tied up, they have parents too, don’t they?

Since you know the pain of losing a daughter, why are you sacrificing them?"

"Begin the ritual," Dr. Qin said indifferently, not answering her question.

"Okay~" The Desire Demon smiled, extending a finger. She began chanting an obscure and difficult Demon Curse, activating the Demon Array.

Liu Hanyan’s mind instantly went blank, consumed by absolute ecstasy. Her soul felt as if it were ascending, soaring straight to the Celestial Kingdom.

"Praise... the Lord of Joy... Praise... Praise... Joy..."

Her eyes rolled back in her head as she lost consciousness amidst violent convulsions and spasms.

The Rehabilitation Pod opened automatically, revealing the sleeping soul of a young girl inside. Qin Xu had used an Extraordinary Artifact obtained during his adventures years ago to preserve his daughter’s soul. Because she had lost her body and was not an Ascender, Duoduo’s soul was extremely fragile. The slightest misstep would cause it to dissipate into nothingness.

The bodies of the five sacrifices dissolved simultaneously, transforming into light that flowed into the Rehabilitation Pod. Pink muscles and snow-white bones materialized from thin air, sketching out the rough shape of a human body.

Qin Xu unconsciously held his breath, his fists clenched tight.

The forbidden ritual didn’t last long. In less than a minute, a brand-new body was formed. It still had some differences from Duoduo’s original appearance, but there was no need to worry. The soul would subtly change the body over time. After one or two months of adaptation, this body would completely take on Duoduo’s appearance.

Just as Qin Xu was about to breathe a sigh of relief, the new body began to twitch uncontrollably, and large amounts of hot steam spewed from its pores.

"What’s happening?" Qin Xu asked in alarm.

"Liu Hanyan’s lingering obsession is subconsciously resisting, trying to destroy this body. She wants to use Bloodthirsty Syndrome to boil the body’s internal organs," said the Desire Demon.

"Then erase her obsession!" Dr. Qin shouted harshly.

"I can’t. It’s an obsession hidden in the flesh and blood, already fused with the entire body," the Desire Demon said, shaking her head.

"Don’t you also possess the power of the Life Realm? Then just wait for her obsession to run out and repair the organs!"

"Are you sure? That would take several hours. Your daughter might wake up in ten-odd minutes. Are you sure you want her to endure that kind of pain?"

Dr. Qin fell silent.

A mischievous smile played on the Desire Demon’s lips. "However, I do have a solution."

"Not long ago, I found a metal fragment in Jinzhu. This fragment has powerful activity and assimilative properties. If you integrate it into your daughter’s body, it can help her overcome this crisis."

Seeing that smile, Dr. Qin’s expression instantly darkened. "You’ve been planning this all along, haven’t you? What are you scheming?!"

"I’m just giving you the best advice. Don’t think so badly of me," the Demon from the Abyss blinked innocently.

Qin Xu looked at the body in the Rehabilitation Pod, which was continuously emitting high-temperature steam. He closed his eyes, and after a fierce internal struggle, he gave a calm nod. "Do it."

He had no other choice.

The Desire Demon revealed a satisfied smile. She turned her palm over, and a silvery-white metal fragment appeared in it. Held aloft by an invisible force, it slowly flew toward the Rehabilitation Pod and merged into the body of flesh and blood.

In an instant, cold steel took root and sprouted from within the flesh, proliferating rapidly. The metal fragment merged with the heart, assimilating the entire organ into steel and forming an energy core to sustain life.

"Don’t be angry. This is good stuff," she said, licking her lips, her eyes filled with anticipation.

—Good stuff that came from a Godslaying Weapon.

「Star Association.」

"A Desire Demon under the Abyssal King - Lord of Joy?"

Looking at the analysis on the screen, Zhou Chen stroked his chin and fell into deep thought.

’What the hell is going on with the Star Association? Why do all these freaks and monsters want a piece of the action?’

’Is it because there’s a two-for-one special I don’t know about?’
