Chapter 363 One by One
After satisfying his cruel desires, he flew up into the air and started scanning the area, making sure no one was left alive.
He also summoned his puppets and ordered them to kill anyone left and gather all the corpses in one place to make it easier for him to absorb them later.
With the strength of his summon, it didn't take long for a huge pile of corpses to form .
The ground was covered with bodies, some still twitching, others already cold and lifeless.
Flies quickly started to swarm the area, attracted by the strong smell of death.
The buzzing grew louder as more flies gathered, covering the dead bodies, crawling over their faces.
The sky seemed darker with the thick clouds of flies, and the air was filled with the rotten stench of decay.
The area had become a place where death ruled, a grim reminder of the madness that had occurred.
When he landed and saw the huge pile of bodies, he couldn't help but smirk in satisfaction.
Seeing so many humans stacked up, he estimated there were over 100,000 of them.
It wasn't as many compared to full pledge cities, but the little effort he used to gather this many was more than enough to compensate.
'Time to eat,' he chuckled, his voice filled with satisfaction.

Tendrils shot out from his body, slithering like snakes toward the mountain of corpses.
They pierced through the dead bodies easily, penetrating through them .
The huge pile of bodies started to shrink, disappearing into the tendrils until there was nothing left.
Reign stood there, smiling, as the last of the corpses he planned to consumed vanished, leaving the ground empty and quiet again

'That was a good meal,' he said, pausing for a moment. '
Now for the second plan.' His voice trailed off as he flew outside the barrier.
After a few minutes, he returned, but this time he wasn't alone.
He came back, carrying dozens of corrupted creatures with him.
They clung to him, their twisted, monstrous bodies writhing and snarling.
He hovered above the ground, dropping the corrupted one by one .
The creatures hissed and growled, their ugly forms twitching with anger.
Reign looked at them, knowing they would be perfect for his next plan.
As they settled in, they quickly started feeding on the parts of the corpses Reign had intentionally left behind.
They tore into the flesh with their sharp teeth and claws, making loud, gruesome sounds as they devoured the remains.
The more they ate, the more they multiplied.
A thick, dark mist started to rise from their bodies, spreading into the air.
This dark miasma was heavy and smelled awful, spreading out like a poisonous fog.
'Now all the evidence will be wiped away, ' he chuckled to himself before soaring into the sky, eager to find another city.
What happened to him in Brentwood was a wake-up call.
He realized he was still too weak compared to the powerful figures in this world.
He needed to reach Demon King status as soon as possible. To achieve this, he had to take his abilities to the next level.
'Good thing this region has a lot of industrial cities. I'll hit them first,' he thought to himself.
It was the most efficient way to gain power while staying under the radar. He could just blame everything on the corrupted creatures.

Green Valley
Lilith stood behind her large desk, tapping it lightly with her fingers as she sipped from a glass of expensive wine.
Her movements were casual, but her stunning beauty made the scene appear almost enchanting.
Anyone watching would feel fortunate to see her savor the flavor of the wine, her lips gliding slowly across the glass.
After finishing her wine, she set the glass down on the table and shifted her attention to the person standing in front of her.
Benedict, one of her secret agents, gave her a respectful bow. He was too mesmerized by Lilith's beauty and only snapped out of it when she looked directly at him.
He carefully placed the briefcase on the desk.
"Is this the serum?" Lilith asked, her voice calm as she reached to open the briefcase.
"Yes, Miss Lilith," Benedict replied respectfully.
"Inside, you'll find the serum and the related documents." He stood still, keeping his hands behind his back.
She examined the contents of the briefcase before looking up at Benedict.
"And what about Reign?" she asked. She leaned against the desk, her fingers lightly tapping the surface.
She heard about what happened in Brentwood. The reports said the place was destroyed using a weapon of mass destruction.
She was sure that he had survived, given how tough he was.
But it's been weeks since she last heard from him.
"What's the status of other cities near Brentwood?"she inquired.
Benedict kept his gaze steady and answered, "There haven't been any reports of other cities being destroyed. It looks like he hasn't followed through with his plan."
Lilith frowned slightly and walked over to the large painting behind her desk. She looked up at the art, her mind clearly troubled.
"If he's not continuing with his plan, what is he doing?" she wondered aloud.
"Maybe he died?" Benedict suggested.
"There were a lot of rumors saying that what was used in Brentwood was a newly developed weapon of mass destruction, capable of obliterating an entire city."
Lilith turned around and sighed, disappointed by how clueless her subordinate was.
She knew that someone like Reign wasn't easy to kill. It had never even crossed her mind that he might be dead.
"Congratulations on completing the mission," Lilith said, shifting the conversation.
"After I'm finished with the new version of the serum, your group will be the first to receive the booster. I will also reward you all with credits,"
"Thank you, Miss Lilith,"Benedict said hurriedly, bowing his head in gratitude.
Finally, they would become permanent members of her organization.
"You can go now," she ordered.
