Rednaya's attitude was very sincere. As a dignified Chief God, she was humbling herself to such an extent, nearly pleading.

Moreover, her makeup and image had been carefully chosen.

She wore no particularly ornate jewelry, her black hair was simply tied up without adornment, her dress was light and thin, revealing smooth shoulders and thighs, with emerald eyes glistening, captivating anyone—such an outfit even conjured the image of a young woman, tormented and weary, to anyone listening.

Needless to say, Rednaya's beauty could basically be deemed her Extraordinary Ability as Leviathandal's successor; no creature can resist her allure.

Yet, Leoz still remained calm.

"I don't oppose forming an alliance with you."

Faced with the hand Rednaya extended, Leoz neither rejected nor accepted. Gazing into Rednaya's captivating emerald eyes, he slowly spoke:

"Even though you stole my Primordial Soil, impersonated Charlgarnia, struck me with a sword, and even used me from the start—I bear no grudge against you."

"Lord Leoz, you must understand, that's all in the past."

Rednaya lightly brushed it aside:

"Let bygones be bygones, let us treasure the present and forge a future that's ours alone... eliminating all injustice and the elite—are you satisfied with merely being an Executer?"

"Leoz. You are a Cannon Fodder Deity, Starry Abyss looks down on you, Morphederia dismisses you, Gaia only sees you as a rival, no one understands or wants you—only I, who have accompanied you the longest, only I know you, I've studied you, pondered over you, and even when exiled, I miss you greatly."

She gently held Leoz's hand, placing it on her face, speaking softly:

"Only I truly understand you, no matter what you think, within this Six-Layered Starry Abyss and myriad dimensions, only I understand you."

Leoz could clearly feel the warmth, smoothness, skin akin to a freshly shelled boiled egg, and sensation of life in the woman's touch, distinct even to his porcelain-like large hand.

No unnecessary descriptions.

Warmth, comfort, thoughtfulness.

This is Rednaya's grasp.

"You have grand ambitions; your desire is not merely to become a overlord."

Her emerald eyes subtly rippled like a clear spring, reflecting only Leoz's form.

"I know you possess the capability; you are the deadliest sword, but only I know how to wield the hilt and whom to aim the blade at."

Her palm rested on Leoz's hand back, and for unknown reasons, her every word sounded like wedding vows.

"Together we are invincible, our dominance within reach."

—How should Rednaya be described?

[If Glina is a pampered rose nurtured within a greenhouse, unable to grow without meticulous cultivation, even withering.]

Leoz contemplated.

[Then Redd, or rather Rednaya.]

[She—no, he? Precisely put, 'it.'

[It is a peony that flourishes with corpses as fertilizer, a beauty of unmatched grandeur, captivating all, yet unable to hide the decaying flesh beneath.]

Rednaya held no loyalty, no friends, no comrades. It's a selfish carnivorous plant, a devouring demon dragon; even if you're kind to Rednaya, she would betray you without hesitation for her own gain, even consume you entirely.

But—

"On one hand, as you said, our Starry Abyss Divine Race does indeed lack the Arcane Glow compared to you Earthlings."

Even knowing the depths of the opposition, Leoz did not refuse Rednaya.

He crossed his arms, standing before Rednaya, saying candidly:

"On the other hand, we are natural allies in interest. Even without you using me, I would seek you out."

"Hmm…," Rednaya was slightly surprised, "this is truly unexpected. That you would think this way is quite flattering."

She's an expert in pity tactics, sometimes it's hard to discern how much of her speech is genuine.

However, in this issue, Leoz saw no need to concern himself.

"Nothing to be surprised about, Redd. Essentially, we are the same."

"Uncompromising for goals?" Rednaya guessed.

"No, what I mean is, we've never considered ourselves 'human.' Therefore, you and I are not restrained by the traditional, so-called 'humanity'."

Leoz pinpointed the core issue:

"We can collaborate, even form a blood pact. If it achieves our ultimate goal, you can have me perish for you."

Rednaya gazed at Leoz.

At this moment, she finally realized, even though she thought she knew Leoz well, she had underestimated this man... this Spiritual Warrior.

In some aspects, Leoz exceeded her imaginings in extremity.

"...phew."

Rednaya laughed.

She stepped back half a step, making room, presenting Leoz in a serious light for the first time:

"You needn't take things too seriously—the current situation has changed, I'm no longer your God Embracer, and needn't heed your orders."

"On the contrary, you are now mine, and Veilue's power has deeply integrated with your Divine Soul. I will always be watching you, and as your power rises, our bond grows even tighter and unbreakable."

She gestured, and instantly a platinum mark appeared on Leoz's hand back. He raised his hand to see, the mark swiftly vanished like fireworks, leaving only an intimate signature:

"Rednaya Gin leaving her mark here, exclusively reserved, not to be violated."

When... forget it, there's no need to get tangled up.

If Rednaya really wanted to harm him, she could crush him with a single thought.

For some reason, when facing Redd, Leoz felt that his Intelligence and perspective soared, and many sensitive issues from the past became insignificant in front of such a cunning, deceitful woman who was a habitual liar.

Perhaps, it's due to the disparity in power?

[New DLC detected... Installing optimization patch... Installation complete]

[System reboot complete]

[You have acquired a new DLC: "Dragon King's Kiss"]

[DLC Content Overview]:

"You should understand that in this world, no one cares more about your fate than I do. They seem to love you, but only because they need you, attracted by your qualities and charm."

"But I'm different. I'm the only one who fully agrees with you, loves you, admires you, understands you."

"I'm your indispensable glow, and you're my irreplaceable starry sky."

"Lies? Oaths? Aren't they all the same? Do you still care about those? Of course you don't, because I know that the one who understands you the most is inevitably the one who can be best understood by you."

"Wherever there's a story about you, I'll be there to support you in advance."

[Content List]:

Unlock a Starry Abyss Main God—[Spirit of Plunder] Rednaya Gin

(Hint: Content marked with '#' is effective only when "Dragon King's Kiss" is loaded)

①: Rednaya Gin looks at you equally, and you won't receive punishment due to Hierarchy and Level differences, and the effects of past losses are also removed. (Permanently effective)

②: Rednaya Gin has opened her Myriad Realms Dimensional Mall to you, allowing you to purchase materials using Point Tickets, enhancing favorability with Rednaya, unlocking higher-grade items. (Permanently effective)

③: Rednaya Gin's favorability won't fall below 500 points (respect).

No matter if you encounter death or reincarnation, she will find you at the first opportunity. For 'Rednaya', there is no upper limit to favorability. (Permanently effective)

④: Rednaya Gin has integrated a piece of the Divine Sword Veilue into your soul, granting you a permanent enhancement—[Indulgent Bliss].

[Indulgent Bliss]: You can absorb intense emotions from surrounding creatures, and once reaching a certain amount, you can release all your desires, showcasing your most primal side. At that time, all your Skills and Arcane Energy will come with a 'Charm' effect.

⑤: Rednaya Gin's power penetrates your soul, covering and strengthening your Talent 'From Star Abyss'.

"You've felt an unprecedented lucid brilliance, realizing those noble Divine Clan were made from the same materials as you."

"Since that's the case, don't you want to... see the sights of those Primordial Abyss lords?"

"No, it shouldn't be said that way—those are your sights."

"Because you, are indeed from Star Abyss."

[Xides Fusion Rate (30%)]

Starting now, you can gradually absorb and merge other Primordial God Clan's powers, memories, identities, and histories while keeping your soul and personality intact.

Upon reaching a fusion rate of 100%, you will completely replace the Primordial God Clan

#⑥: Rednaya Gin provides you an enhancement from the [Raiding] Pathway, which won't alter your Pathway, but you'll gain occupational growth and benefits from the [Raiding] Pathway simultaneously.

[Raiding] System Talent: 'Post-Raid Survival'—Acquired.

God-chosen Occupational Talent·'Post-Raid Survival'—The practitioners of the Plundering System are like sewer rats, with low Attributes and weak combat power, but once they survive harsh battles, there's a high chance they gain some 'Specialty' from enemies.

Sometimes it's equipment, sometimes it's Attributes, maybe even appearance.

But you are different, even if a sewer rat, you are the most cherished one.

The Chief God personally bestows upon you the ability to designate and take any 'Specialty' from a defeated foe.

(Cooldown period: 10 natural days)

God-chosen additional effect: After continuously taking three 'Specialty', you'll receive a 'Tracy Exhibition Hall VIP Ticket', allowing you to temporarily seize a random 'Specialty' from the opponent during a fight; if defeated, the seized 'Specialty' will be returned to the target.

⑦: Rednaya Gin will always accompany you as a partner, and you can take tasks from her at any time, but Rednaya will switch bodies frequently and may not assist you in battle.

If Rednaya is defeated, the DLC will forcibly exit and will only reactivate once Rednaya has recovered.

————————————

"Starry Abyss" doesn't have exclusive DLCs; if there is one, it usually offers some simple gifts or unlocks a few rare occupations, that's all.

He had realized before that a new DLC would appear due to soul changes the system couldn't interpret.

Leoz unlocked two exclusive DLCs: 'Usurper Tyrant' and 'Dragon King's Kiss', both representing a change in his soul.

'Usurper Tyrant', honestly... it just reclaimed the three Mandates Leoz used, along with an exclusive Divine Spirit Stance, but the cooldown is very long, and the combat power boost isn't substantial.

But 'Dragon King's Kiss', a full 7 items, and not a single one is lacking.

"You felt it, didn't you? I haven't let you down."

Rednaya placed one hand on her hip and said lightly:

"It's almost time for me to make my move; from now on, we must join forces to confront the increasingly powerful Starry Abyss and [Society]. There's no time to lose; let's take action now."

"No, before that, I must understand something, which has been troubling me for the longest time."

Leoz lowered his hand, looked at Rednaya, and said in a deep voice:

"Redd, what exactly do you want?"
