Rise Of The Worm Sovereign

Upon hearing the words though, both the ape kings were shocked.

"Worm? That's a worm?" They questioned under their breaths.

They looked at each other and sensed that they had the same kinds of apprehensions.

"So he's not a subordinate of the Olive Viper King." The Slim Arm Ape spoke in a low voice to the Demon spine ape. 

All of their conversations were done in human tongue and were quite low in volume. From the distance the four beasts were standing, they would not have been able to tell that the other party was talking.

"What are you here for?" The Demon Spine Ape asked in a rather loud voice.

"We are here to talk and discuss," The split thorn horn beetle king replied.

"Talk? Talk what?" The Demon Spine Ape asked again.

"Well, we would like to discuss if cooperation between us four could be possible." Lin Wu was the one who spoke this time.

The Slim arm ape king narrowed his eyes as a few thoughts appeared in his mind. He could tell that since this new Nascent Soul realm beast was with the beetle king, it meant that it was not violent… well, relatively speaking.

Though now that the Slim Arm ape king thought of it, perhaps it was bad that this beast was calm. It would mean that the beast was more intelligent and his schemes would not work the same as they could on others.

"Why would we need to cooperate with you?" The Slim arm ape questioned after careful thinking.

"Well, as you know I'm a new Nascent Soul realm beast just like your son the demon spine ape. And as a Nascent Soul realm beast, we can claim a territory in the sixth ring of the millennium forest.

With that… one can also lay claim to the seat of a ruler. But as we know the seats are already occupied thus one of them would have to be emptied before another can take over it." Lin Wu answered.

~humph~

Visible steam came out from the demon spine ape kings' nose as the flames of battle intensified in his eyes.

"SO YOU ARE HERE TO TAKE MY SEAT? FINE! BUT NOT WITHOUT A BATTLE!" The Demon Spine Ape yelled and was just about to attack when he was interrupted.

"Hang on a minute! I'm not here to fight you. I don't even want your seat!" Lin Wu explained.

The Slime Arm ape also sent a glare to his son, which made him calm down. He knew that his son's bloodline was innately violent and there wasn't much he could do to control it. While he could still get him to calm down, since his cultivation base was less than him, it won't be long when he's stronger than him and the same things won't work.

"Whose seat do you want, then? Mine?" The slim arm ape king questioned.

"No… I don't want either of you two's seats. Rather, the reason why I want your cooperation is so that I can get the seat of another ruler of the forest… the Olive Viper king." Lin Wu revealed.

A flash of realization hit the Slim Arm ape as he connected the links. The old ape was smarter than the beetle king and could obviously link Lin Wu's appearance to that of the Olive Viper King.

After all, if he were not a subordinate or descendant, then it was obvious that he was an enemy. The slim arm ape king also reckoned that the similarities in their auras were due to the same kind of a fortunate encounter.

"So you are like him too… both of you are mutant beasts…" The Slim Arm ape king spoke.

"Indeed, you are as smart as they say. Let's just say the olive viper king and I cannot exist at the same time. One of us has to die!" Lin Wu said with determination.

The slim arm ape king looked over to the Beetle king and spoke, "and you are fine with this Split thorn horn beetle king?" 

"He's helping me get revenge and also helping my descendants, I am fine if he does this." The beetle king simply said.

"I see…" The slim arm ape king responded.

"I know your subordinates were also killed by the Olive Viper King. Don't you want revenge too?" Lin Wu questioned.

"Hmm… while revenge is indeed something I once desired. I am not stupid to go through with it. The Olive Viper king is no common beast and his subordinates are not either." The Slim Arm ape king spoke.

"Besides… if we help you fight against the Olive Viper King, it would go against the traditions that our ancestors had established a long time ago. One must battle for the seat if it is occupied." The Slim Arm Ape king added.

"I never said that I want you all to fight him with me. All I want is for you guys to not interfere or perhaps just hold back his subordinates, I'll kill that snake myself!" Lin Wu declared.

A faint fluctuation in Lin Wu's aura could be sensed and the Demon Spine ape king only got excited due to the hint of fury in it.

"Fine, let's say I agree. But what will we benefit from it? You say revenge, but that is still not worth it for us." The Slim Arm Ape king replied.

"Well… I can offer you the same thing I offered the Split Thorn Horn Beetle King." Lin Wu spoke.

"And what was that?" The Slim Arm Ape king asked and sent a look to the beetle king.

"He offered to mutate my subordinates and descendants so that they can get stronger. One of my descendants has already experienced it and her bloodline has definitely unproved by a lot.

I'd say… it's even better than mine now." The beetle King honestly said.

The Slim arm ape king had not expected an answer like this and felt strange. As far as he knew, mutations were uncontrollable, and all mutant beasts were just lucky to even survive it.

He didn't know how Lin Wu would control that.
