King, a title of glory, but for some beings, it was merely a restraint.
IE69212, a member of the Eight-Armed King Clan, theoretically could become a "General Level" life form once reaching adulthood, and by daring to fight, could earn grace from higher-ranking blood relatives to become a "King."
IE... Crimson Star King, she had been a king for thirty years.
Before she became a king, she had already conquered six medium and small worlds... Once she advanced successfully, she had destroyed likely over a hundred Intelligent Races.
The King of Crimson Star, the terminator of destruction, moving catastrophe, she was a nightmare to the Mortal ethnic groups, a true disaster, until...
"Being able to answer the lord’s call is our glory..."
The Crimson Star King, now a Three-Star Lord, didn’t hesitate to respond to the call of her bloodline, becoming a proud member of the Expeditionary force.
She was still young, her blood not yet cooled.
"... you, why are you so slack!"
On her first day at the battlefront, she was engulfed in rage.
And now, in her thirty-first year of service, she remained in a frenzy!
"Cowards, fools, useless scaled beasts... I will show you how true Nobles battle."
Thus, she abandoned her nominal superiors, the "Three-Headed Overlord" who murmured all night about still recovering from injuries, and went to the battlefield alone.
"I want to evolve, I want to receive grace, I want to become the new Overlord!"
"Weak monkeys, how could they possibly stop a great race..."
The octopus of the Eight-Arms, blood-red all over, its already swollen body expanded further, transforming into a demon akin to devouring the sky.
Each swing of her claws, let alone weak mortals being unable to resist, even the ravines, fortresses, and bunkers on the way were instantly swept up, and then like humans snacking, she plucked out the "trivialities" and directly indulged.
She craved slaughter, craved evolution, as long as the slaughter itself could satisfy her nature, bringing her joy, inciting her excitement.
"... weak, weak, weak, weak, good taste..."
When she noticed the robust monkey on the other side had left, replaced by a thin monkey that a gust could blow away—even with a seemingly stronger bear to help him—they were still just weak, and the weak...
"... weak, good taste!"
Gluttony, bloodthirst, the Octopus-eyed King from the Octopus Tribe descent, had indeed learned well in this aspect. Once the wounds from being beaten by Shi Xiaoyou healed, when she instinctively felt that the new opponent seemed weaker, that absolute power didn’t even compare to hers, she could no longer control herself.
The greedy octopus appeared on the battlefield, the original battle line trivial, accompanying the waves and the Demon Octopus Legion ashore, the Magic King left behind was a path of ruins and shattered bones.
".... since you’ve come, don’t leave, or else, speaking of my Peace Road, wouldn’t they say I don’t know how to be hospitable."
His calm words carried not a trace of rage, but that "petty man" stood in front of the mountainous beast, unleashing his death-defying provocation.
Lu Ping’an looked at the Crimson Star King before him, spoke calmly, yet already saw her as a dead person.
"Clear skies."
On his outstretched arms, there seemed to be some flames.
And before the Crimson Star King could see clearly, countless vines suddenly descended.
Burning, devouring, the red branches were full of greed and hunger, and when the giant Demon Tree began its predation, the Crimson Star King encountered one of her own kind.
"Ah ah ah ah, weak...!"
The octopus Demon screamed, originally lacking vocal organs, her arms now embedded with several human heads, at this moment, that was the source of the sound.
Her arms frantically whipped the Tree Demon in front of her, the opponent actually trying to strip away her bodily fluids and life force, the searing Holy Flame making her whole body uncomfortable.
But she was an invincible glutton, how could such an opponent possibly stop her?
Tentacles whipped furiously, their tips beginning to split, and "bombs" were detonated in mid-air.
The massive explosions were incessant, and the demon tree, which was transforming into a tree-man, was blown to pieces. The collision between tentacles and vine branches marked the beginning of the octopus crunching away.
Perhaps, for her, changing the taste occasionally, mixing meat and vegetables, was still quite pleasant.
And her seventeen gem-like eyes, shining like searchlights, still stared at her opponent, that "monkey" whose aura seemed not so strong.
After dealing with this toy, what else do you have?
"Clap, clap!"
And Lu Ping’an merely clapped his hands, the next moment, similarly massive demon trees stood up one by one.
Facing mountain-sized demons, she met nine opponents even bigger than her.
"Take your time, if it’s not enough, there’s more..."

When Lu began to take things seriously, on the other side of the battlefield, the awakened Overlord Level Three-Headed Dragon was also filled with anger.
At that foolish, brainless octopus.
That idiot had just arrived at the front lines and went crazy, ended up getting beaten half to death by the opposition, and it was with great difficulty that he had been rescued. And now, here we go again?
"These brainless mollusks!"
But he really couldn’t just do nothing... The overseers and battlefield recorders in the rear were indeed very demanding.
Unlike the humans’ disorganized side, the Octopus Race was a collection of countless branches and family clans centered around kinship, where each race and country were actually the "servants" of some being.
Thus, naturally, there were those close and those distant, the noble and the humble.
The death of a brainless "King" level creature was nothing, but if a distant relative of the Octopus died, it would definitely require battlefield recording and even review. If it was determined to be "intentional" or due to "incompetence", even an Overlord would feel quite troubled.
"Let’s go, to rescue that fool..."
And as the Three-Headed Dragon furiously tried to charge into the battlefield, another piece of news came in.
𝐟𝕣𝕖𝐞𝐰𝕖𝚋𝐧𝗼𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝗰𝐨𝐦
"Our front lines are being overrun by the Yellow Crystal Demon Group, engaging in rampant slaughter?"
"Multiple King level creatures have appeared? Attacking our Plane Gate."
Clearly, this was a diversionary attack, designed to prevent them from rescuing the foolish octopus.
"You guys... go there."
But the front lines still had to be taken care of. The Three-Headed Dragon commanded the other two Kings to rescue the front lines while he himself went to save the octopus.
However, on the way, a little hiccup occurred.
A large black and white bear, standing in his way, continued to chew on scrap metal.
"Hey, if it’s not too much trouble, shall we chat?"
The Three-Headed Dragon tried to ignore the weaker creature’s hindrance, but the next moment, he sensed a subtle discomfort, as if something was happening...
