In fact, she vaguely guessed that there should be another way to activate the "Dragon Madness Lock".
That is to sacrifice herself. This demonic body, repaired with countless souls, might serve the same purpose as the souls that were consumed.
But she won't do that.
Perhaps other demonic supernatural beings could serve the same purpose. For example, the two-headed evil dragon Heslaty, the representative of the Demogorgon twins, capable of controlling countless clones, including Patrick…
"captain!"
From the direction of the ship's cabin, Qingpaopao's happy shouts interrupted Ivy-Beate's reminiscence.
Hearing the sound, she lazily rolled over on the mattress, looking like a sea turtle whose belly had been forcibly turned upside down, propping herself up on her left elbow, as if she couldn't stretch her muscles properly.
Demons don't tan, but she still followed her old habit and applied sunscreen all over her body. Against the backdrop of her black bikini, she looked dazzlingly white.
Ivy Beatrice slowly raised her hand to create a shade, blocking the bright sunlight, and looked toward the source of the sound.
At this very moment, two tiny water elemental girls were carefully making their way down the long, narrow deck. They were wearing the one-piece swimsuits she had invented; Blue Bubble wore blue, and Green Bubble wore green.
Blue Bubble was still clinging desperately to a heavy, fluffy ball. It was Bear Cub, who absolutely refused to get down.
Both owl bear cubs were afraid of water. Gu Xiong didn't dare leave the cabin at all. Xiong Gu, perhaps being slightly more intelligent, was a little better than Gu Xiong. But once the boat started moving, it wouldn't stand on the deck and insisted on being held. It had been howling in a childish, terrified voice the whole way, but now it was too tired to cry out and could only listlessly curl up and shiver on Lan Pao Bubble.
With the squad leader Al dead, the two little bubbles lost their undercover identities and became much more cheerful.
"captain!"
"Helmsman Raphael reports to you, he says we've arrived! The evil dragon's head you're looking for is right below us!" Qingpaopao said in a clear, bright voice.
Chapter 84 Thank you
"crash"
Blue Bubble burst out of the water with a splash. She used her arms to climb onto the boat, her wet, dark blue hair protruding.
Ivy Beatrice, who had been waiting on the ship for a long time, asked impatiently, "How is it?"
Water elementals naturally lack color in their skin, and because of the cold temperature of the seawater, Blue Bubble's face turned bluish.
"I couldn't find it," she said softly, head down, with a guilty expression. "I'll go down and check again."
Ivy Beatrice let out a sigh of relief.
"No rush, maybe it's not here."
She wrapped Blue Bubble's small body in a large blanket and dried her hair. "Rest well. Once Green Bubble has fried the fish and eaten her fill, we'll think of something else."
Blue Bubble raised her little face and gave her a big smile.
Ivy Beatrice never revealed that the two little bubbles were acting as spies for the ill-intentioned squad leader, El. There are too many things in this world beyond our control. The weak have no right to refuse the demands of the strong, especially two children.
She was simply gradually increasing their sense of belonging.
They removed the shackles imposed on them by the pimp couple, told them that the house was also their home, increased their living space, praised their fish-frying skills, and asked them to adopt the surname "Beate," and so on.
This was very effective; the two little ones covered for her in many things.
For example, when she reverted to her six-armed serpent form and was fighting with Burktura and the vice-captain in the house, did the two little bubbles really see and hear nothing at all? I doubt it.
But what they told Squad Leader Al was exactly what she wanted them to tell him.
Nevertheless, the two bubbles still felt incredibly guilty for revealing information about their home without Ivy Beatrice's permission.
So they did everything they were told to do, and their obedience was heartbreaking.
As Ivy Beatrice dried Blue Bubble's hair, she focused on her own mental state.
Sure enough, as soon as the hand touched Blue Bubble's head, the words "Ivy-Beate" on the panel disappeared, replaced by brand new data.
Generic name: Blue Bubble-Beate
Race: Water Elemental
Small alien creatures (local)
Life Dice: d
Special Attack: Spell-like Ability (Creates Water once per day)
Special abilities: Increased resistance to water magic, darkvision
Attributes: Strength, Agility, Constitution, Intelligence, Wisdom, Charisma
This is an interesting feature of the system panel: the ability to detect other living beings through physical contact.
But there's a prerequisite: the creature must be completely unsuspecting of her.
Ivy Beatrice stumbled upon this last night.
Ivy Beatrice didn't like sleeping in her cabin, finding it stuffy and uncomfortable. Finally, the storm had stopped yesterday, so she dragged her mattress out onto the deck, spread it out, and lay down on it.
Bathed in the sea breeze and starlight, head resting on her teddy bear, arms wrapped around it, she felt utterly content. And just like that, teddy bear's data suddenly entered her mental world:
Common name: Xiong Gu
Race: Owlbear (Cub)
Small magical beasts

Special Attacks: Mastery of Grab, Nature Magic (Level 2), Spell Conversion

Ivy Beatrice was startled at first, then happy for a second at discovering the panel's amazing new function, and then noticed the name after "Animal Companions"...
She opened her eyes expressionlessly, grabbed the large, fluffy ball in her arms, and began to vigorously rub its fur. The half-asleep bear cried out in pain as she rubbed it. Only then did she reluctantly let it go.
After that, she was so excited that she couldn't sleep. She got up in the middle of the night and rushed to the cabin to touch everyone's head.
The results confirmed that Gu Xiong was indeed the most beautiful glutton in the family, and the strongest fighter in the family was indeed Raphael the Terrorclaw Monster, who actually had a professional lineage.
Common name: Gu Xiong

When it was Green Bubble's turn, she giggled and shyly kept dodging. Then Ivy Beatrice put her hand on her head, but there was no reaction.
It seems that she had some reservations, so the panel wasn't displayed.
So Ivy Beatrice let her go, thinking that the little girl was quite agile and quick.
At the same time, his desire to find Hesrati's head became even more urgent.
Ever since Ivy Beatrice interrogated the vice-captain in her living room and learned from him about the existence of "jewels" that could make one stronger, she outwardly said nothing, but inwardly she was already deeply infatuated.
This thing is simply divine, isn't it? The devil who invented it was a genius, and the demon lords who successfully copied it are equally remarkable.
This is great news for gamers! As a former gamer, how could I possibly let this opportunity pass me by?
—If the side effect of consuming the "jewel" is to eventually turn into a demon… well, I'm already a demon now, so what's there to worry about if I go straight to the end?
—Anything that allows me to quickly become stronger and exact my revenge, I'm willing to try!
The six-armed serpent demon's idea was not shattered until the final battle in the lower deck of the pilgrimage ship.
At that moment, she was terrified when she saw Countess Lana, Patrick, and the native Tusu appear as puppets of the Demon Lord, and when she saw them being possessed by the jewel maker at any moment, their lives hanging in the balance, and she broke out in a cold sweat.
Indeed, there's no such thing as a free lunch in any world.
It's not easy to take advantage of the Demon Lord.
They may be crazy, but they're not stupid.
However, another thought grew wildly in her mind like weeds.
—So, can I control the secrets of the "precious pearl"?
—I absorbed Countess Lana's soul to gain access to the game panel, but I wasn't controlled by Demogorgon. If that's the case, then suppose I first have others consume the "orb," and then harvest their souls, wouldn't I gain more panel functions while simultaneously evading Demogorgon's control?
—No, it should be said this way…
A cunning yet seductive whisper echoed in her mind: If Demogorgon could replicate the "jewel," why can't you, no, I should say I?
After that, the six-armed serpent demon became obsessed and tried to search through all the demonic knowledge in his mind, but still found nothing.
After all, Demogorgon, who was revered as the Demon Lord, possessed knowledge and power that were far beyond what a mere six-armed serpent demon like her could match.
However, on the other hand, the six-armed serpent demon's intuition told her that she could do it.
After careful consideration, she came to the conclusion that she needed to find the head of the Heislati.
—If there is anyone in this world who understands the "Gem" most deeply, it is undoubtedly Heslaty, the two-headed evil dragon who is the world's representative as the twin brothers of Demogorgon and who treats Patrick and others as puppets to be possessed at will.
—Find it.
She made up her mind, and her mood became increasingly anxious.
—Find the evil dragon's head that fell into the sea; it is the key to the "precious pearl".
—We must hurry and get there before anyone else.
Ivy Beatrice was completely unaware that as she pondered this question, her emerald green vertical pupils and the whites of her eyes had unknowingly turned pitch black, as if two bottomless black holes were hanging on her face.
It was already around three o'clock in the afternoon, and the blazing sun showed no signs of abating.
The Fireport warehouse district, which had been razed to the ground by the dragon's breath, was once again surrounded by barbed wire, and countless tents had been erected inside, resembling a refugee camp. The two-headed evil dragon had almost destroyed half of the bottom city, and a large number of homeless residents of the bottom city had been taken in here.
Everywhere you can hear children crying and running around, adults talking and cursing, and conflicts and fights breaking out from time to time.
Acting Port Commissioner Berlik has done everything he can, but has only managed to barely guarantee the supply of food and drinking water.
With more people in the camp, safety and hygiene became major problems. Wastewater flowed everywhere on the glassy stone floor, which had been melted and solidified, and uncleaned urine and feces were visible everywhere.
In a corner of the camp, a tall figure was huddled up, covered with a tattered blanket. Dark, thick arms stretched out from under the blanket, hanging limply at his side.
Beside him lay the daily rations, a piece of coarse flour.
But the person covered with the blanket didn't even touch it.
The person covered with a blanket is Tusu, an indigenous man who escaped death.
When Patrick asked Heisrati to take over command, Heisrati's consciousness left Tusu's mind. It was at that moment that Tusu regained his senses.
Having changed his class from Firestorm Berserker to Totem Demon Slayer, he clearly sensed at that moment what had just taken over his body.
That is the devil among devils.
Demogorgon, the unique demon lord of the bottomless abyss.
He was scared.
He felt even more pathetic: he had chased the six-armed serpent demon all the way to this unfamiliar place, but he never expected that he, a dignified totem demon-slaying warrior, who took it upon himself to eliminate demons, would become a puppet and plaything of another, even more terrifying demon.
He felt like a joke.
The battle continued, and feeling utterly hopeless, he was unwilling to be cannon fodder in the fight between the two demons, so he took advantage of the chaos to hide.
