Under such circumstances, all that remained of him was his powerful demonic body and the three colors of Haki. Compared to his prime, this power was far, far less.
Esdeath, however, was unaware of this and simply thought that Kong Yang was joking because he hadn't yet recovered his full strength.
However, although the battle ended quickly, there was still a major problem: there were far too many prisoners.
The number of prisoners of war was over 400,000, which is similar to the original story. This means that even without Kong Yang's participation, the outcome of this war would not have been different.
"Hey, Kong Yang, what do you think we should do with these prisoners?"
What are your thoughts?
“Killing them all would be too time-consuming and could easily lead to a riot. Letting them go would be too many.”
"If that's the case, then bury 400,000 alive, and select the best and strongest of the alien races to release."
"Hmm? That's a good idea."
Esdeath smiled immediately. Burying 400,000 alive—that was the hatred of annihilation and the destruction of a nation.
By letting go of the strong part, one sows the seeds of hatred, so that one can continue to enjoy the pleasure of conquest brought by war in the near future.
In a short time, Esdeath became increasingly satisfied with Kong Yang, and in her eyes, Kong Yang had become the only choice for her partner.
However, what she didn't know was that Kong Yang did this in order to obtain the 'despair' and 'anger' of the 400,000 northern barbarians when they were buried alive.
Just then, Liva returned to report on the casualties of the war and, by sheer coincidence, overheard everything.
Instantly, every hair on Liva's body stood on end. Burying 400,000 aliens alive? This was simply too inhumane.
On the battlefield, he could wield his blade without hesitation to kill the enemy, but these were 400,000 living people. To bury them alive like that was nothing short of demonic.
"Liva, you've come at the right time. Pass the word down to dig a deep pit and prepare to bury 400,000 aliens alive."
"Yes, Lady Esdeath."
Although he felt some resistance, he would resolutely obey all of Esdeath's orders.
"Wait a moment."
Just then, Kong Yang suddenly spoke up.
"Lord Kong Yang, is there anything else you require?"
Facing Kong Yang, Liva lowered his posture. Kong Yang was powerful and valued by his master, which made him worthy of respect.
"Don't let our own people do the work, let these foreign captives dig their own graves."
"Yes."
Liva nodded in agreement, but an overwhelming fear of Kong Yang welled up inside him.
This man is a complete devil, making these defeated prisoners dig their own pits to bury them alive. What must they have felt when they learned the truth?
Riva lowered his head and went down. He now placed Kong Yang in a position second only to Esdeath.
This man is absolutely not to be messed with; he's a devil.
"Kong Yang, I have a lot of interrogation techniques, would you like to learn them?"
Esdeath believes that Kong Yang is like herself, so their hobbies must be quite similar.
"Torture?"
"Yes, I love using all sorts of methods to turn slaves into my dogs."
"Um, sorry, Esdeath, I don't have that kind of interest."
Esdeath was stunned. Looking at Kong Yang, she felt extremely disappointed.
However, she quickly accepted it. What a coincidence that there are in the world, with completely identical preferences and personalities. If such a thing were to happen, it would definitely be for ulterior motives.
At this moment, Kong Yang felt a little panicked, because he had absorbed all the negative power of a war.
Even under these circumstances, the magic power still hasn't been restored. Is the void energy really that terrifying?
Feeling as if his body were a solid rock, he couldn't sense any magic power at all.
Under such circumstances, how can I regain my strength?
We arrived in the northern capital, which is now in chaos.
Burns and looting were happening everywhere, and many women from northern tribes were forcibly dragged into rooms by soldiers and raped by one or even a group of men.
This is the consequence of defeat in war: everything will be looted and destroyed.
Kong Yang lost interest after glancing at the scene twice.
The purpose of coming here is naturally to absorb negative energy, especially the lust that permeates the entire royal city, which has reached a certain level for a time.
Outside the city, under Liva's arrangement, these slowly awakening northern tribes began their lives as slaves.
First, dig a large, deep pit outside the capital city, large enough to hold an army of 400,000.
This was used to bury them, and they were made to dig it themselves.
However, because the climate here is too cold, carrying out excavation work here is a difficult and deadly task.
During this process, many prisoners died in the cold, but those who survived continued.
One day, two days, three days passed, and Kong Yang silently watched everything unfold.
Esdeath began to fully enjoy the pleasure of 'torture', and of course, she would also set aside time each day to see Kong Yang.
Kong Yang could also sense that Esdeath was intentionally trying to get closer to him.
Kong Yang was quite willing to do so. He liked Esdeath very much, even though her strength was slightly inferior due to the limitations of this world. However, Kong Yang planned to reincarnate her as his second queen.
If you lack strength, Kong Yang can provide it; if you lack bloodline, Kong Yang can provide it; if you lack resources, Kong Yang can provide them as well.
However, given Esdeath's decisive and ruthless nature, coupled with her astonishing potential, it would be a real loss not to take her in.
Moreover, by becoming Kong Yang's familiar, she would naturally become a hybrid of a demon and a human. When we return to High School DxD, we can get her a God-Slaying Gear, which would significantly boost her combat power.
Therefore, strength is not the issue at all, and Esdeath has the qualifications and potential to make Kong Yang pay the price.
Chapter Nine: Burying Four Hundred Thousand Alien Race Members Alive!
After nearly half a month, a huge, deep pit was finally excavated in this northern polar region.
On this day, both Kong Yang and Esdeath were very excited.
In ancient times, Bai Qi, the Marquis of Wu'an, massacred 400,000 Zhao soldiers; now, Kong Yang buried 400,000 northern barbarians alive.
"Throw it down."
As Esdeath gave the order, all the alien prisoners around her were thrown down.
However, despite the estimated number of casualties, many have already died during the two-week excavation project. The harsh northern climate and the massive workload naturally led to a large-scale death toll.
At the very bottom of this deep pit, there was already a layer of corpses of northern aliens, all frozen into ice blocks.
As for those who survived, even now that they know the true nature of this huge pit, they are powerless to resist. After half a month of labor, most of them are physically weak.
Kong Yang stood on the edge of the deep pit, from which an unimaginable aura of death, despair, anger, resentment, and other negative forces emanated.
These were exactly what Kong Yang wanted. The Gate of Great Sin within Kong Yang's body greedily devoured them like a whale swallowing water.
'Click~'
Finally, the trace of ethereal energy within the body was extinguished.
After a month and a half, Kong Yang finally regained a little bit of his magic power, although it was very little, but it was a good start.
Dark magic formed a layer of illusory aura around Kong Yang, making him appear from afar like a demon god shrouded in darkness.
Especially when paired with the current scene, it subconsciously inspires awe.
Pain! Wailing! Pleading! Curses! Resentment! Despair!
All the negative aspects of human nature are on full display here at this moment.
All of this was Kong Yang's 'food,' and he appropriated all of it from the children's scenes that humans could not capture.
After about two hours, everything settled down. The former northern tribes had now become a cemetery for them, where nearly 500,000 northern tribesmen were buried.
"Kong Yang, you seem to have changed a bit~"
Esdeath looked at Kong Yang beside her and suddenly felt something was off, though she couldn't quite put her finger on what was strange.
"It's nothing, I've just regained a little strength."
"is it?"
Esdeath nodded at Kong Yang's answer, though she still had doubts, she did not ask any further questions.
Now that the northern barbarians have been dealt with, it's safe to say that for the next few years, it's wishful thinking for them to try and establish a respectable ethnic group.
However, this does not mean that the northern tribes are finished. There are still many tribes within their territory.
However, these tribes are too widely distributed, making it extremely difficult to gather them together. But it is precisely for this reason that the northern alien races will not be destroyed, which is exactly what Esdeath wants.
"Kong Yang, would you like to come to the capital with me? I can recommend you to the ministers, and in just one or two years, you can become the third Grand General of the Empire."
"Forget it, I don't like being subordinate to others. However, I would like to see the capital of the empire."
"I see, then okay."
Hearing that Kong Yang rejected her suggestion but not her proposal, she felt that was acceptable.
These past few days, she has been researching how to get closer to Kong Yang.
As a woman with no romantic experience, she had no idea how to communicate with Kong Yang. As for asking others, unfortunately, neither the Three Beast Warriors nor the other soldiers could give her an answer.
Soon, everything was organized, and the army began its grand return journey. This trip to the north was a great success.
'Buzz~'
On horseback, Kong Yang attempted to open the Gate of Babylon. After all, opening the Gate of Babylon did not require much magic power; it only required the magic power to open a 'door'.
Amidst a golden ripple, a samurai sword appeared before Kong Yang.
Murasame, the Cursed Blade, is a weapon that was once an Imperial Arms and is now a cursed blade, but has never been used since it was forged.
"Is this your Imperial Arm?"
Esdeath was astonished by this peculiar scene.
She transmigrated into forty-eight Imperial Arms from a thousand years ago. No one knows exactly how many types there are. She had heard from a minister in the Imperial Treasury that there were Imperial Arms with spatial abilities.
"That's it."
"What an interesting Imperial Arms."
"is acceptable."
Looking at the Village Rain in his hand, Kong Yang's lips curled up slightly.
The current Murasame possesses three types of curses. The first is the 'one-hit kill' curse, which is a curse that Murasame inherently carries.
The second type is a curse that incorporates the 'curse of the sea,' meaning that anyone struck by it will be rejected by the sea.
Kong Yang originally thought that a one-hit kill and being rejected by the sea were in conflict. If you can kill with one hit, how can you be rejected by the sea? What's the point?
Now Kong Yang understood that the curse poison here could change, meaning that it could release only one kind of curse poison or curse.
As for the last one, it is the potent poison taken from the White Dragon Emperor. It can destroy all existence except inorganic matter. As long as it is a living being, its blood, bones, organs, and soul can be gradually reduced, even if it is an extraordinary being.
The three types of 'cursed poison' represent three modes, which now seem incredibly convenient.
Now that we've arrived in this world of 'Teigu', it's only natural to use Murasame.
Kong Yang was thinking this way. The only thing that disappointed him was that he hadn't recovered much magic power. He could still activate the Gate of Babylon, but he couldn't do the 'Gatling Gun Barrage'.
However, as the saying goes, everything is difficult at the beginning. Once you get started, the rest is easy.
Moreover, once he arrives in the capital, Kong Yang will receive another considerable amount of negative energy.
Even though anime and comics are incredibly dark and terrifying, in this real world, true darkness and evil are hidden much deeper and more beyond your comprehension.
Putting aside everything else, Arya's family alone is just the tip of the iceberg in the capital.
This was just a minor nobleman; the upper nobility were the truly dark ones.
Therefore, Kong Yang believed that the capital city was definitely the best grain depot for him.
This world is filled with darkness and sin, and is beyond redemption.
