Chapter 36: As Big as a Fist...
After binding with the Eye of God, Kog'Maw immediately gained some insights into the elemental forces, and even his physical fitness was slightly enhanced.
Although the enhancement was not too much, it did strengthen Kog'Maw's strength.
It is the only equipment starting from the gold level, and the Eye of God is of the silver level, so it can naturally be mass-produced.
Silver-level items can theoretically allow the holder to exert combat power of level three to level four.
Theoretically speaking, the Eye of God is a growing creation.
In the future, it will grow with the growth of its holder, thus exerting a power far exceeding that of silver.
These are all the settings that Shuichi filled in the text when he was making the Eye of God.
So strictly speaking, the text of the Eye of God is not just a simple creation.
It represents the ability to continuously mass-produce level three or even level four awakeners.
Things like the Eye of God are powerful weapons to protect the country here. If the royal family of the Moshustan Empire knew that Xiuyi had such a good thing, he would either die, flee, or marry a princess or the daughter of a noble (and be a dog). There is really no other way to go.
As for becoming the host after marrying the daughter of a great noble... that depends on the subsequent actions. Xiuyi cannot guarantee that he will succeed.
But if he fails, he will most likely die.
Even if I don't die, I'm afraid I will have to live a life of displacement in the future.
Therefore, he will definitely not release the text of God's Eye, at least not for the time being.
"Now, you can make your own choice." Kog'gas was ready to go back on his word. He had originally wanted to give those who did not cooperate a chance to live because they all knew each other, so he promised to part ways with those who were unwilling to follow Shuichi in the next town.
However, after experiencing the magic of the Eye of God himself, Kog'Maw made a decision that went against his principles.
That is, this group of people must stay, either live and serve Xiuyi, or die now.
Perhaps because Kog'gas didn't speak so directly, there was actually a stupid mercenary who planned to leave.
As a result, just as he was about to do something, his companions beside him grabbed him and whispered in his ear: "Are you stupid? Did the captain really let you go when he said he would let you go?"
The mercenary was still confused and didn't understand the situation. He touched his head and said puzzledly: "The leader is a good person."
"That was before! Things are different now!"
"Why is it different?"
The stupid mercenary's companion was so distressed that he hit the stupid mercenary on the shoulder angrily: "If you don't want to die, then listen to me! Do you think I will hurt you!?"
"Oh..." The silly mercenary thought that his childhood friend had been smart since he was young, and he must have seen something.
Thinking of this, he nodded, indicating that he was willing to obey.
The other mercenaries are not fools. Who can survive as a mercenary for a few years without some skills?
Either they have super strong fighting ability, or they know how to read people's expressions, cheat, and take advantage of the situation.
Wouldn't it be courting death to be a mercenary without any special skills?
When he heard Kog'gas's strange tone and saw that he could actually resist swords with his fists, he knew that he might not be able to escape.
But then again.
If I could obtain the power of Kog'Gath after accepting Shuichi as my master, it would seem like I'd made a profit.
Some mercenaries who were straightforward, admired strength, were relatively passionate, and had long been looking for someone to rely on were already ecstatic at this time.
Xiuyi didn't have much contact with them, but he didn't have the arrogance to look down on mercenaries as human beings.
The mercenaries saw this very clearly.
The smell of the noble children who don't like to breathe the same air as the lower class is very strong, and the mercenaries can smell it from ten kilometers away.
Sometimes you have to kneel down to survive.
But most free mercenaries are not the type who would kneel down for a living.
"It seems that you understand what I mean. For the sake of everyone, you'd better think it over carefully." Seeing that no one had stood up to openly oppose him for a long time, and even Mike had obediently crawled back into the pile of mercenaries, Kog'gas was relieved.
The earliest of these old brothers had followed him for nearly ten years, and at that time there was not even a mercenary group yet.
The brotherhood between us is not fake.
Some mercenary groups are maintained by interests, while others are maintained by interests and brotherhood.
There is no doubt that Kog'Maw's Iron Wolf Mercenaries belong to the second type.
Although there are about 30 people in the mercenary group, there are bound to be some with ill intentions, but at least no one shows their conflicts on the surface.
After a while, another mercenary stood up.
Kogas frowned when he saw the man: "Billy? You have any objection?"
The mercenary named Billy raised his hand and made a stop gesture to Kogas: "Wait a minute, I just want to ask, if we surrender to the young master, can we also obtain your power?"
As he said the last sentence, the mercenary turned his gaze from Kog'Gath to Shuichi's direction.
Xiuyi looked up and down at the newly emerged mercenary with interest.
He is tall, about the same size as Cho'Gath, with a bald head, a large shield on his back, and a one-handed hammer on his waist. He looks to be in his thirties and seems to be not much younger than Cho'Gath.
"Do you want power too?"
"Young Master, since Kogas can receive your reward, I think I can, too." Billy was as strong as a bear, but at this moment he pretended to be gentle and learned the etiquette of the nobles, bowing slightly: "No matter in loyalty or ability, I am no worse than Kogas."
The movements were so nonsensical that Shuichi wanted to laugh.
"Kogas surrendered to me and brought me a strong mercenary group, so I made an exception and gave him the [Eye of God]. What about you? What can you bring to me?"
In the adult world, it is better to talk about interests; talking about feelings is too costly.
Besides, everyone is unfamiliar with each other, so there seems to be no room for emotional discussion.
Shuichi's question made Billy's face freeze. How could he compete with Cogas?
Since you can't beat the other party openly, you can only use your wit.
Billy approached Shuichi with a wry smile, but Kogas took two steps sideways, standing between him and Shuichi.
After failing to get close to Shuichi, Billy stabbed Kog'gas with an angry look. Kog'gas looked at him without dodging, with murderous intent in his eyes.
Billy couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart when he thought of the scene where Kog'gas caught the knife with his bare hands just now.
In just over ten minutes, Kog'Gath had become so strong... Damn it... Why wasn't I the one who got the chance?!
Billy was screaming wildly in his heart, but he didn't dare show it on his face.
He looked across Kogas and eagerly signaled Xiuyi for help: "Young Master, Kogas is very ambitious. If he was willing to be inferior to others, he would have been a dog for other nobles long ago. He just wants to use you..."
Without waiting for Billy to finish, Shuichi turned his head impatiently and winked at Kogas: "This guy is trying to undermine my trust in you. Do you know what to do?"
"Yes, master." Kog'gas responded expressionlessly, and then when Billy was a little confused, he attacked angrily and punched Billy hard in the face, leaving him with bruises all over his face.
Billy screamed "Ah" and fell to the ground without even having time to resist.
Kog'gas took advantage of the situation and pressed down on Billy, pinching his neck with his left hand and raising his right fist high. Rich rock elements wrapped his fist, increasing his defense while also providing him with a certain degree of lethality.
A series of punches hit Billy's face, leaving him bloody, his teeth flying, and part of the back of his head buried in the mud.
After the Rock-attributed Eye of God was bound to Kog'Maw, it provided Kog'Maw with a certain degree of power. Therefore, since he was already stronger than Billy, it was no pressure for him to suppress Billy.
Billy kicked with his hands and feet, but he couldn't break free from Kog'gas's strange power.
After trying for a while, Billy realized the gap between the two sides and stopped resisting. He could only protect his head with both hands and beg for mercy.
Unfortunately, neither Shuichi nor Kogas had any intention of letting Billy go.
There were two mercenaries from Billy's group on the periphery who wanted to go up to help, but they were captured by other mercenaries who saw the situation clearly.
"Ah... let me go... I was wrong... I surrender... I..."
Kog'gas showed no mercy, each punch was heavier and faster than the last.
There was no way Billy could defend his head against such a violent attack. After being hit several more times, he began to lose consciousness.
After a while, Billy's breath became weaker and weaker, and his voice gradually became smaller until it disappeared completely...
"Now, regarding the subject of submission to the master, does anyone have any opinions? If you have any opinions, you can raise them. I will listen carefully."
After confirming that Billy was dead, Kogas stood up, wiped his bloody face with the back of his left hand, turned his head and spat out a mouthful of saliva mixed with blood. The bloody face looked even more hideous, like a monster that eats people without leaving any bones.
