Leaving aside the vignette about Quaggs.
Aron's gentle eyes once again fell upon the eye demon.
"Godzilla…"
"That, my name is Eye Demon, not Godzilla."
"Huh?"
Aron's eyes turned cold.
The Eye Demon immediately changed his words: "No, no, no, I remember correctly, my name is Godzilla."
It can only be said that the eye demon is truly worthy of being the creator of Quaggs.
At least in terms of character.
You could say they're cut from the same cloth: like father, like son.
"Godzilla, actually, there's no irreconcilable conflict between us, right?"
"Yes, yes, yes!"
As soon as he heard that Aron was inclined to relent, the Eye Demon immediately agreed.
"It's all my fault! Mainly, I didn't know that Quaggs was already your subordinate…"
"Wait!"
Before the Eye Demon finished speaking, Quaggs suddenly jumped up.
"Correct that."
"I'm not the boss's subordinate, I'm just the boss's loyal dog!"
After saying that, Hachiko the loyal dog retreated.
That flattering expression made Aron seriously wonder what this guy had been learning lately.
"…"
"…"
The Eye Demon also began to doubt the meaning of life.
Is this really the creation I made in my own image?
How could he be this unbearable?
A loyal dog?
Well said.
Isn't that just being someone's pet?
Actually…
If you're willing to let me go, that dog… I could be.
Of course.
That was only a fleeting thought.
He hesitated for a moment, but in the end, the words didn't come out.
Unlike Quaggs, who had fully accepted reality and chosen to submit to Aron, the Eye Demon couldn't yet cross that barrier in his heart.
No matter how much he wanted to beg for mercy…
to beg in such a dog-like way still seemed too humiliating to him.
Quaggs didn't know what the Eye Demon was thinking.
If he did, he would definitely curse his father to his face! You fool!
If you're going to be stubborn, then be stubborn to the end!
And if you're going to give in, then surrender completely!
You've already lost!
You're already at the point of apologizing and begging for mercy, yet you still want to keep a shred of dignity as a dimensional demon god?
Isn't that just digging your own grave?
Seriously.
Aron spoke.
"Godzilla, I really do want to let you go, but I can't. Things were too stiff between us before."
"If you don't offer something up, I'm afraid this won't end well."
Hearing that familiar line, Quaggs internally broke into a cold sweat for the Eye Demon.
Oh boy~
He's going to squeeze every last drop of value out of him before finishing him off!
But the Eye Demon, of course, didn't realize this; he thought Aron had given him a step to retreat.
"It's easy to arrange, as long as you're willing to let me go."
"I'll give you hundreds of dimensions, including the Tentacle Dimension!"
"The power of those dimensions alone is enough to make you one of the supreme dimensional demon gods!"
The Eye Demon offered Aron such gratitude.
But in return, he only received Aron's look—the kind given to an idiot.
"How generous, to give me hundreds of dimensions?"
Aron sneered.
"Just curious… where exactly are all those dimensions of yours now?"
"…"
The Vishanti had directly severed his connection to those dimensions.
That was equivalent to erasing his name from the property register.
Those dimensions were now either masterless or had fallen into the hands of the Eye Demon's former subordinates.
Take, for example, the Ocean Dimension!
N'Gabthoth was clearly the lord of that marine domain.
But the true owner of the dimension had been the Eye Demon.
Most of the Ocean Dimension's energy had also been siphoned by the Eye Demon, leaving Naga with only a small portion.
But now…
Had the Ocean Dimension not gone through its earlier mutation, had Naga not been killed by Aron,
then he would have truly become the master of the Ocean Dimension now.
100% control over the Ocean Dimension!
By then…
Whether Naga would listen to the Eye Demon's order and return the Ocean Dimension was another question.
Because the relationships among dimensional demon gods are based on strength.
Only when the Eye Demon was powerful could the master–servant relationship remain unshaken!
But given the Eye Demon's current strength, barely one-tenth of what it was before,
there's no way his former subordinates would return his dimensions; if they didn't attack him outright, that would already be considered polite.
But despite all this…
The Eye Demon still used those dimensions as bargaining chips with Aron.
Because he really had no other choice.
"Although Vishanti severed me from those dimensions, it's only temporary!"
"They're loyal to me! Really!"
"As soon as I call them, they'll surely return their dimensions to my control."
The Eye Demon lied to Aron.
He tried to convince him this way, hoping to make the promise seem real.
But the problem was…
"You used a lie that can't even fool yourself to try to deceive me."
"That's the greatest insult to my business intelligence."
Aron gave up.
It seemed there was no more oil or water to squeeze out of the Eye Demon.
Alright, if he's no longer valuable.
"Then say hello to Dormammu for me."
Aron said.
In the confused stare of the Eye Demon and the gleeful smirk of Quaggs,
he drew a card and threw it at the Eye Demon.
"Banish the Eye Demon to… the Dark Dimension! Right into Dormammu's jaws!"
As the words fell.
A familiar white light shone.
In an instant, it swallowed the Eye Demon and took him to another world.
"Wait a second!"
"It seems I didn't specify which world, did I?"
"Could the system have thrown him into some low-end parallel reality and let him act like a big shot there?"
Aron suddenly remembered… there are stronger and weaker worlds within the multiverse!
He had been referring to the high-end ones before, where cosmic abstractions stand beyond time, immortal and eternal, all fracturing into countless variants.
"I don't know which one he landed in."
"Hopefully the first one, to leave him a bit of room to grow."
Saying that, Aron forgot about the Eye Demon.
With a final kick, he sent Quaggs flying.
"Next time, die however you want! Don't ruin my rank!"
After saying that.
Aron glanced at the time.
Good, the update version should be done.
Back to rank!
