750: Chapter 359: Self-destruction_2 750: Chapter 359: Self-destruction_2 After becoming a subordinate boss under Zhou Tian, the implication alone was enough to deter many from making such a decision, regardless of its actual significance.
Zhou Tian didn’t deny that he was montarily tempted by the Corpse Demon’s words.
Excluding the actions the Corpse Demon had just taken, his strength was indeed formidable even among the King Level bosses.
Zhou Tian could defeat him, but it didn’t an that other living beings could easily do the sa.
If Zhou Tian could subdue him, the Corpse Demon would undoubtedly beco a powerful weapon in his hands.
Of course, Zhou Tian only briefly entertained this notion and soon dismissed it.
Under normal circumstances, a boss with the appropriate authority can effectively control minor monsters in their service.
However, this was not a typical case.
Frankly, Zhou Tian had no absolute certainty that, if he took the Corpse Demon into his fold, it wouldn’t turn against him in secret.
In the absence of external influences, once the Corpse Demon entered Zhou Tian’s clan, it would presumably no longer have the ability to turn the tables.
But the issue was, even though the boss’s authority was incredibly powerful in this world, if one was determined, they could find ways to avoid it.
For example, with the power of the Historical Stele, the Corpse Demon could completely sever its ties with the Monster System by abandoning certain things.
In such a case, without fear of Zhou Tian exploiting his boss authority, the Corpse Demon, a unique entity, would not be constrained.
If it were an average monster, Zhou Tian likely wouldn’t overthink.
After all, he had confidence in himself and believed he wouldn’t be trapped at the King Level for too long.
Even if he were to subdue a monster of the sa level, although it might be unwilling at first, its rebellious spirit would gradually fade as Zhou Tian advanced.
Moreover, whilst it would be possible to bypass boss authority, the cost would generally be exorbitantly high, which most monsters would be reluctant to pay unless absolutely necessary.
However, the Corpse Demon had previous grudges with Zhou Tian.
Under such circumstances, seeking revenge, no one could guarantee that it would not resort to hurting itself.
Zhou Tian, by accepting the Corpse Demon, would indeed increase his strength in the short term.
But if the Corpse Demon betrayed him in the long run, Zhou Tian would risk gaining more loss than profit.
Considering the Corpse Demon’s character, Zhou Tian was nearly certain it would act in such a way.
Undoubtedly, if the Corpse Demon did so, it wouldn’t bode well for Zhou Tian.
Thus, after taking into account the Corpse Demon’s standard style, Zhou Tian made his decision quite quickly.
“No!” Even if the Corpse Demon’s strength could significantly enhance his own, Zhou Tian was not willing to take the risk of accepting it because of the chance it might betray him.
Internal threats are the deadliest.
The Corpse Demon was already a threat to Zhou Tian when they were on opposing sides.
If it joined his clan and betrayed him at a critical mont, Zhou Tian wouldn’t want to imagine the consequence.
To avoid this risk, Zhou Tian was determined to eliminate the Corpse Demon altogether.
Once Zhou Tian decided to do so, he was prepared to take action against the Corpse Demon.
However, before Zhou Tian could make his move, the Corpse Demon seed to have sensed Zhou Tian’s intention, possibly due to Zhou Tian revealing his intent to kill.
“Don’t force !” If possible, the Corpse Demon truly didn’t want to continue the fight, as it was clear that it stood no chance against Zhou Tian.
Considering the circumstances, the Corpse Demon had done all it could.
If Zhou Tian refused to let it go, it would face a dead end.
Driven to desperation by Zhou Tian, the Corpse Demon even voiced its threats.
However, Zhou Tian, who had ignored its plea for rcy, wouldn’t let a simple threat sway his decision.
Seeing that Zhou Tian’s expression remained unchanged even after he spoke, the Corpse Demon felt utter despair.
After all, at that mont, it was at a complete disadvantage.
If Zhou Tian truly decided not to spare it, even the Corpse Demon itself knew that its chances of survival were slim to none.
