Reincarnated as the Demon King's Son

Chapter 476 476 Interesting Proposal

Aldred moved forward and swung his sword towards the Supreme Warrior's right arm. In a single motion, his blade cut through the arm, making it flying in the air before it fall into the ground with a loud thud.

It all happened so quickly which shocked the tech priest and the Supreme Warrior.

"You… who are you? Are you Victor's Super Warrior?"

The mechanicum had heard of Victor's experiment in trying to create human with super powers. But they did not believe Victor could be better than them in that regard because the mechanicum had perfected their serum every year and spend all of their resources to improved it.

One of the reason why the mechanicum became powerful so fast was their drive to progress and advancement. Since the tech priest had shed most of their human weakness, emotions such as laziness, loneliness, and depression would not affect their work. This meant that they could work every single day day and night. They were literally robots.

But even though they barely could feel emotion, today was an exception because the tech priest were truly shocked by what Aldred had done.

He just cut off the Supreme Warrior's right arm like it was an apple.

"Victor is dead," Aldred said.

"What!" The tech priest was even more shocked to hear that. "How is that possible? Who killed him?"

Smiling, Aldred looked at the man in the eye. "Me."

Right after saying that, Aldred jolted forward and stabbed the Supreme Warrior right in the chest. The Supreme Warrior did not even show a face of pain or made a sound because his pain receptors were removed.

That made Aldred raised an eyebrow. "So you cannot feel pain? But I wonder. Can you feel nightmare?"

Aldred's eyes turned deep black and the Supreme Warrior widened his eyes, staring at them. He tried to avert his eyes but he couldn't.

That was when he suddenly screamed in deep agony. His body trembled like mad as if every inch of his body was being tortured.

"What did you do?" The tech priest asked. He could not keep his calm in this situation.

"I am letting him know what pain feels like," Aldred replied.

The tech priest took a step back and his brain computed at hyper-speed. "Since Victor is death, there must best a new ruler to replace him. We assumed that the ruler will be you?"

"Not me."

"Then it must be your allies or your employer. You are here to destroy us to give warning to others?"

"Smart." Aldred smiled. "That is true. I am here to send a message to the underworld."

"In that case we have a better proposal."

"I am listening."

"We shall stay under your rule. We will become your hand and eyes in the underworld. If you want to send a message, we will send it as loud as we can and we'll make sure that every ears heard it."

Not just anyone could make the Supreme Warrior so defenseless. The tech priest had consulted with his comrades using neural connection, and had come to a conclusion after exchanging ideas and opinion for less than one second.

They concluded that this man could destroy them. This conclusion came from various data they had obtained.

They had seen Aldred before in a particular city, bringing demons and golems to fight against Victor's mechanical army. They also obtained some recording of Aldred fighting against Victor within the Archanite mine.

And by the looks of it, he was winning the fight. So it was true that Victor was killed by Aldred.

Since he could kill Victor, and made their Supreme Warrior look like a weak child, there was only one way to survive.

Serve him.

Aldred laughed.

That scared the tech priest a bit. They had never handled a person like this before. He had never felt fear before, but this person was something else.

"I like that proposal," Aldred said. "Alright, from now on, you will be under me."

Aldred tapped the Supreme Warrior on the shoulder and he suddenly returned to reality, gasping sharply for air before breathing in and out.

He looked around and realized that he was back in the hall. The man processed the information in split seconds and realized that he was thrown into some sort of hypnotize.

Supreme Warrior should be immune to any drugs that affect the mind.

"Supreme Warrior," the tech priest said. "From now on, the mechanicum is under his rule. As our strongest weapon, you will also be serving him."

The Supreme Warrior knelt and bowed.

The Supreme Warrior were designed to have absolute loyalty to the mechanicum. Whatever their decision was, the Supreme Warrior should follow. They were not human with opinions, but tools and weapons used to destroy and intimidate the enemy.

As the weapon of the mechanicum, they should be destroying the enemies, not the other way around.

Aldred smiled. "Since you are now under me, I will help you in obtaining resources and give you access to my companies and connection."

Aldred opened a portal of which Tarrar stepped out after a few second.

"It's been a while since you summon me."

"You are busy anyway."

"That is true. So what's the business?"

"They are the business." Aldred pointed. "Let me introduce you to them. They are the tech priest and the Supreme Warrior of the mechanicum."

"Oh, the largest underworld organization in Duria?"

"You knew already?"

Tarrar nodded. "The more business deals I made, the more friends I also made. Especially from criminals organization. They know a lot of things, and I learn a lot of things from them. The Mechanicum is kind of closed organization. While others made network, they made fortresses and rarely do trades."

"Well, now they are under me."

"I see… WAIT WHAT?"

"They sword their loyalty to me now."

"They are the mechanicum! Strongest underworld organization in Duria. They should have thousands of Diamond Ranks under their belt!"

Aldred sighed. "Did you forget that I am the Emperor of the Ceraisian Empire? The Fire Monarch? The Lord of the Dead? The Golem Master? Soul Devourer, and also a Legendary Swordsman?"

"Right… you alone should be able to destroy the mechanicum."

"Tech Priest," Aldred called. "This here is my subordinates, Tarrar. He is the CEO of my companies namely the golem companies, miner companies, tasty food, auction, and magic orbs."

"So CEO Tarrar is your subordinates," the tech priest said. "We have heard of his name, but avoided contacts with him. We don't really deal with magical objects."

"Why don't you combined magic with technology? Create something mechanical and magical. With your precise calculation and magical effect of magicians, I am sure you could create something more powerful than what you are capable of now. We also have many potions that could be mixed with your serum to create a far stronger Supreme Warrior," Aldred said.

"That is an interesting proposal," the tech priest said.

"Alright, you two work together, create something for our own and also create something cheap and easy to mass produced to earn ourselves some money," Aldred said. "But before that, I want the mechanicum to destroy all the known organization in the underworld. Tarrar will also help you with that with our golem army. Make sure all of them are destroyed within a day."

Tarrar and the tech priest looked at each other.
