Chapter 109: Transformation... Accepting a Deal With the Devil

Pain.

An endless, overwhelming amount of pain flooded my body.

When the system mentioned stripping my humanity I had ignored that statement.

Now I felt what it truly meant.

It was as though every single cell in my body was rapidly disintegrating at an abnormal rate.

Despite how hard I tried not to scream the sound tore through my throat in a guttural surge that forced both Olivia and Nicole to flinch, staring at me in horror and wondering what exactly was going on with me.

At the same time, Olivia felt a wave of pressure that stemmed from the depths of her soul as she stared at me.

My thunderous scream continued echoing as the process continued.

Nicole watched as the young man’s body turned into a poodle.

My bones were nonexistent, my eyes were gone. And my blood had dried up completely, leaving just a sac of skin laying on the ground.

It was disgusting to look at for both her and Olivia.

But...

From the ashes rises the pheonix.

Gradually, as though life had been infused into the sac, it began rising from the ashes.

The scream had long since stopped echoing, as my head had turned to mush too.

However, gradually, I could feel life returning back to my limbs.

Gradually, a strange, miraculous energy began flowing through my finger tips.

A strange presence flowed out of my limbs.

All my cells that had been destroyed previously began generating at an alarming rate.

Nicole watched with wide, terrified eyes as the sac of flesh gradually swelled up until it became a human once again.

I slowly pushed myself from the ground.

The ground caved it the moment my finger tips touched it, the crack spreading through the surroundings.

At the same time, a wave of respect surged from the bottom of olivia’s heart.

She knelt down, and bowed in a submissive gesture, as though she was witnessing her god.

"I greet the master." Her tone was filled with absolute respect, and even she didnt know why her body was trembling in fear just at my mere presence.

I glanced down at her, and a weight seem to stretch from my gaze.

The ground beneath Olivia groaned and cracks spread at the place where her foot was, just due to my gaze alone.

Olivia felt her knees trembling, and blood flowed continuously from the corner of her mouth but she tried her best to stay calm.

She felt I could shatter her with a single word. She had to be as respectful as possible to not earn the ire of her god.

I turned my gaze slowly away from her and the pressure vanished with my gaze.

"I... I’m hungry." My voice came out hoarse, like two metals were scrapping against each other.

Thankfully, I had anticipated that I would be extremely famished after the entire transformation and had informed Olivia to prepare a large portion of meal for me.

I waked over to the table and held the cover of the flask. Then tore it open.

Nicole watched this sight with terror in her heart.

Her heart pounded loudly in her chest and she tried her best not to utter a single word.

She felt as though she might have just witnessed something she wasnt supposed to.

Olivia remained on her knees.

Her master hadn’t ordered her to stand up, so she had no right to.

As soon as I tore the flask open, I dug my finger in and scooped a large handful of rice before stuffing it into my mouth.

With a few chew, the rice had vanished into my mouth.

As I swallowed, it was as though I still hadn’t eaten anything.

I stuffed myself of the remaining rice in the flask before tossing it uselessly to the floor.

Although, it didnt feel like I had eaten anything, it was still manageable for now.

The system reached the final phases of my transformation and my overwelmingly terrifying aura began receding into my body.

Even I found it hard to control myself at this moment.

Fortunately, the system had taken everything into account and was already restraining my strength to a usable degree.

I remained standing as a few beats of silence stretched.

[congratulations on completing your transformation!]

A system prompt alerted me off the completed transformation.

I glanced down at my skin. It was completely unrecognizable.

My skin was as fair as jade, and my brows seemed to have been sharpened to an abnormal degree.

Every single bone and cell in my body seemed to contain strength.

My hair had become longer but it only served to make me look even more handsome with how silky smooth it was.

I radiated the aura of an immortal who had descended into a mortal world.

Nicole stared at me in a daze, with drool trailing from the corner of her lips.

Lucien was the most handsome existence she had witnessed. Even the models in shows she had watched couldn’t compare to one percent of my handsomeness.

[New trait: You can now conduct an awakening on any of your slaves, enabling them obtain an ability and becoming an awakened. Would you love to initiate an awakening on your slave, Olivia?]

[You have awakened the tier 3 system shop, Please explore its functions.]

Two more system prompts appeared in my line of sight.

It seems the system was still acknowledging the changes that had come with my transformation.

I glanced at the system screen and realized it also seemed to be changing as well.

For now, that wasn’t what bothered me. It was the fact that I could now conduct an awakening for my slave.

Since she was completely loyal to me, nothing was stopping me from conducting an awakening for her.

I was curious on what kind of ability olivia would awaken.

"Olivia?" I stared into her eyes.

Olivia instinctively braced herself for the impact of my gaze but it had long since faded along with the system’s restraint.

She slowly glanced up in her master’s direction.

"Yes, master?" her voice was light and respectful as she spoke.

I released my control on her briefly.

"Are you interested in being an awakened?" I stretched my hand in her direction like a messiah.

Olivia could feel the control that contantly tightened her soul, and all her reactions loosen drastically until it was nonexistent.

Her master... no, lucien was asking her if she wanted to be an awakened?

Something like him?

The first thing she thought of was rejecting the offer.

She wanted to return back to her happily married life.

However, olivia’s thoughts stalled.

She realized she couldn’t turn back the hands of time.

She’d already cheated on her husband.

Why?

All because she was powerless to resist.

The thought made her jaw tighten. She bit her cheeks and contemplated the offer deeply.

After what seemed like an eternity she finally glanced up to meet my calm gaze.

It felt like she was making a deal with the devil.

But if the devil could bring her strength, who was she not to accept his offer?

She slowly raised her hand towards my outstretched hand.

"I accept, master." She said softly.

’System... initiate the awakening...’

I smiled to Olivia and ordered the system internally.

Olivia made me proud.

She had made the right decision.
