As the supreme god, I choose to watch movies in the multiverse.

Why, why do I always seem to be going backwards even though I'm moving forward?

Not only him, but the audience outside the screen were also confused. Although Xiang Kai was not a good person, his inner thoughts had shown his awareness, but now he couldn't even control his own body.

Is the fear Dior instilled really that astonishing?

"What's wrong? Are you wavering? Making this choice means you're afraid, or are you thinking you must move forward, but because you're too afraid, your body is unconsciously moving backward?"

Xiang Kai didn't answer. He had no idea what was happening. The defiant demon mustered its courage once again and charged directly at Dio, but after only a few steps, it returned to its original spot.

At this moment, the audience outside the light screen definitely noticed something was wrong. It seemed that Xiang Kai was not moving backward by his own will, but rather as if his body was out of control.

Moreover, the fact that it was running one moment and then immediately returned to a standing position the next is a strange phenomenon in itself.

This further convinced viewers that Dio was not merely physically powerful; he possessed a far more mysterious and formidable strength...

At the same time, Dior's voice rang out in the light screen image:

"Everyone strives to overcome anxiety and fear in order to live with a clear conscience, whether it's to gain fame and fortune, dominate others, or make money, it's all for peace of mind."

Dio took two steps to the side and leaned against the wall, his perfect physique on full display, his villainous aura becoming even more intense and powerful.

He then brainwashed Xiang Kai, saying, "Marriage or making friends is also for peace of mind. Striving for peace is just making excuses for your own peace of mind. You could say that people live for peace of mind."

"Are you at ease now? Haven't you experienced enough of the pain of being abandoned and the pain of not being recognized? In the eyes of humans you are a demon, but in the eyes of that vampire you are a tool that can be discarded at any time."

"Since that's the case, why not pledge your loyalty to me? Come to my side, and I can give you eternal peace of mind."

"Isn't it even more unsettling for you to attack me now, with the resolve to die?"

A string of words echoed in Xiang Kai's ears like hypnosis, plunging him into deep self-doubt.

After realizing what had happened, Xiang Kai became even more nervous, cold sweat pouring down his face. He felt that he had unconsciously succumbed to Dio.

"You are an excellent zombie, it would be a great pity to kill you. Why not leave the guy who abandoned you and pledge your eternal loyalty to me, and I will grant you lasting peace of mind!"

The cold words carried a dangerous sweetness, and Xiang Kai admitted... he was moved. Dio's words enlightened him, like a student struggling to find the answer in an exam suddenly seeing the solution of a top student next to them.

As a human, his work was not anticipated; his editor, readers, and everyone else had no faith in him. As a demon, he was stripped of his title of one of the Twelve Demon Moons and was ruthlessly abandoned here by that great one.

Throughout his life, he was constantly filled with anxiety and never felt at ease.

He took a step back... two steps back... When he chose to retreat, everything was already destined; he could no longer muster any resistance against the man in front of him.

His mind and body had long been conquered by the vampire king named Dio.

Kneeling on the ground in a dogeza posture, this former Lower Moon Sixth Demon King of the Twelve Demons chose to betray the Demon King Muzan Kibutsuji who turned him into a demon, and instead chose to submit to another mysterious and powerful Demon King.

No, to be precise, Dio isn't the Demon King, because that title can't describe his beauty and power. If Kyōkai were to describe him, perhaps only the words "Emperor of the World" could express his awe and loyalty to Dio.

"Heh heh, have you finally made up your mind?" Dio's tone seemed to become cheerful, but he quickly composed himself again.

He slowly picked up the discarded manuscripts that had been 'looked down upon' from the ground and carefully read through their contents.

He then walked up to Kyōkai, who was still in the dogeza posture, not daring to overstep his bounds in the slightest.

Dio smiled slightly and said, "Raise your head. As my subordinate, you only need to show me respect in certain situations."

As soon as Xiang Kai raised his head, the discarded manuscript that Dio had just stepped on was presented in front of him.

Amidst his tense and even panicked expression, Dior slowly said with a hint of apology, "Please forgive me. I didn't know what it meant to you at first. I hope this won't affect our friendship."

He then placed the manuscript in Xiang Kai's hand, and at that moment... in Xiang Kai's eyes, Dio's figure instantly became much taller.

So Dio didn't mean it just now. It turns out that as the master, he actually showed respect to his servant. This is a sense of security that Muzan Kibutsuji could never give him... Is this what they call a sense of security?

If his previous submission still carried a trace of fear of Dio's power, then his current submission was complete loyalty to Dio, both in heart and body.

This loyalty will never change, even if Dio falls into trouble or even dies. This evil spirit has made up its mind to give everything to its master.

"Lord Dior... I, Xiang Kai... From now on, I will serve you at your command!"

It was done. After seeing the look in Kyok's eyes, Dio understood that he had gained the first loyal servant in the world.

Raising his right hand, Dio plunged his fingertips into Kyōkai's neck without hesitation. Kyōkai showed no intention of resisting, allowing Dio to wipe away Muzan's blood from his body, even though it was a painful process.

Dio, despite not being fully integrated with Jonathan's body, still carelessly injected some of his blood into Kyogai's body, even going so far as to turn the original Muzan's blood into a harmless substance.

After the blood transfusion was completed, Kyokai's appearance was completely transformed, and his decadent aura once again burst forth with vitality. He no longer needed to consume humans. The power bestowed upon him by Lord Dio was far greater than what he would gain from consuming the flesh and blood of hundreds or thousands of humans!

Despite gaining immense power, Kyokai remained kneeling, his size increasing to nearly three meters, yet he still looked up at Dio.

Because the person before him was Dio, his only master in this life!

Chapter 113 A Born Villain

Dio—although he has yet to reveal his true power in any footage.

However, his methods of controlling subordinates, and the aura he exuded from beginning to end, completely revealed the terrifying side of this person.

Light screen image bullet comments——

Bishop of Destiny: "His excellent methods of managing subordinates, which allowed him to make an 'enemy' willingly submit to him in a very short time, are a kind of personal charm and shrewdness that no one in the entire history has possessed."

Yukino Yukinoshita: "It seems the answer is quite clear. He is indeed a villain. Although I don't understand why the light screen would list a villain, but... this kind of person is absolutely not worthy of being compared with Alicia."

Hanada the Old Woman: "Isn't this kind of pure evil more interesting? Although Alicia's story, which is as beautiful as a blooming flower, is indeed wonderful, the new protagonist's aura and power to dominate others are also very attractive."

The destroyer of the world: "A villain? No one says a villain can't be a protagonist. As far as the world is concerned, I should be a villain too, after all, I am the destroyer of the world."

An ordinary office worker: "He just said... the power of a Stand? I don't know what that is, but I feel like it has a close connection to me."

He charged toward the jeep: "Besides monsters, are there other creatures threatening human survival?"

As the evil deeds unfolded, aside from a few kind-hearted moral guardians, most people had accepted that the images presented were of a villain, since the supreme god had never said that he would only portray kind people.

However... as the worldview was gradually revealed in the images, some viewers outside the images also understood which world Dio lived in.

Especially the Demon Slayer Corps in the Demon Slayer world. If it could be described as a coincidence at the beginning, it is now completely certain.

Muzan Kibutsuji—the nemesis etched in the hearts of every Demon Slayer Corps member, feared by demons and humans alike, the original Demon King, the only one to exist in a thousand years.

Wind Pillar Sanemi Shinazugawa: "We haven't even dealt with the last demon king, and another one has already appeared? Heh, what did we do wrong that the heavens are punishing us like this?"

Gyomei Himejima, the Stone Pillar: "Amitabha, has the Demon Slayer Corps added another demon to its list of enemies? Or is it a demon king like Muzan Kibutsuji...?"

Kagaya Ubuyashiki: "He said vampires... is there any difference between them and Muzan Kibutsuji?"

"Demon Slayer world," sighed Kagaya Ubuyashiki, the leader of the Demon Slayer Corps. "Although what the images show is only one possibility, the thought of dealing with such beings in the future or in other worlds makes Kagaya Ubuyashiki feel powerless."

Unlike Muzan Kibutsuji, this newly appeared enemy has a greater ambition and a stronger personal charisma than Muzan Kibutsuji.

As the leader of the Demon Slayer Corps, he could clearly sense Dio's outstanding leadership charisma, a charisma far surpassing his own...

Light screen image——

After successfully gaining his first follower in this other world, Dio smiled, seemingly quite satisfied.

Meanwhile, after witnessing the mysterious man who suddenly appeared tame the evil spirit in front of her, the hope in the eyes of the mother holding her daughter turned into despair once again.

She stared at Dio's body with utter terror. She was doomed, but no matter what... no matter what, the child had to be saved.

The mother looked up at Dio, her body covered in bruises from the room's sudden movement, and pleaded with him, "Dio... Lord Dio, please, please, I don't care what happens to me, just please spare this child, please."

Dio turned to look at his mother kneeling on the ground, her face covered in blood, her only thought now was to save her daughter.

Shaking his head, and seeing the mother's despair, Dio said, "You are not my food. It is my subordinate, Kyok, who should deal with you. I will not force him to let you go."

Simple words, while winning hearts, also fully revealed Dior's cruel and ruthless side.

The mother and daughter had quite good aptitude and very nutritious blood. Perhaps Dio had no interest in women, but... having just turned Kyokai into a vampire, he had made himself even weaker.

It's important to know that Dio is still in a weakened state. He hasn't fully merged with Jonathan's body yet. If he can consume these two women with their highly nutritious blood, although he still won't be able to reach his optimal state, it will greatly compensate for the energy he expended in turning Kyokai into a vampire.

Even so, Dio still did not choose to eat the two small breads. Under normal circumstances, he would give his subordinates the respect and freedom they deserved, which is why he was so highly regarded by his subordinates.

"Lord Dio, you have given me a new life. Everything I have belongs to you. If consuming these two people can restore your body or make you stronger, please do not hesitate. Your politeness would be an insult to me..."

Seeing Dio's attitude towards him, Kyokai became even more humble, a feeling he had never experienced under Muzan Kibutsuji.

That lord... no, that foolish creature, only knows how to control his subordinates through intimidation. He is completely incomparable to Lord Dio. You can never feel safe by his side.

Although it was only a short time, less than an hour, Kyōkai had already completed a transformation in his life. Now, even if Muzan Kibutsuji appeared in front of him, he would not hesitate to attack him if Dio gave the order.

"Xiang Kai... Masaka, did you resort to cannibalism for such a pointless purpose as becoming stronger or regaining your former self?"

"D... Lord Dio." Kyokai, who was immersed in Dio's villainous charm, was stunned when he heard these words. Demons eat people mostly because they cannot suppress their desire to eat people.

Because he wants to regain his position as the Lower Moon, he seeks out people with precious blood to consume in an attempt to enhance his strength. Could it be... that Lord Dio considers this wrong?

"You still don't understand, Xiang Kai. Now that you've become a creature like me, you should know your place."

Dio shook his head, as if sighing at Xiang Kai's level of skill. He raised his head and explained:

"Indeed, although cannibalism can speed up our recovery from injuries or enhance our strength, it is foolish to eat people for this purpose, not to mention those who eat people out of instinctual desire."

"Pigs eat grass, people eat pigs, and I eat people... Eating people is the true master of all things, and eating people is to stand at the top of the food chain."

Dior explained the meaning of cannibalism, just as humans need to eat, vampires cannibalize people for the same reason.

While he did need to eat people to heal his injuries, that was not the goal. Just as humans eat nourishing foods after being injured, the satiating value of those nourishing foods far outweighs their nourishing effects.

"D... Lord Dio." Kyōkai's eyes were filled with adoration. The demons ate people not out of desire, nor to become stronger or heal their injuries, but because of the food chain. Was this the man at the top of the food chain? Was this the master he served?

Xiang Kai closed his eyes, as if trying to understand Dio's words. The more he learned about this man, the more he was attracted by his unique charm, like a poison that he couldn't resist.

“Okay, Xiang Kai, I’m so glad you understand what I’m saying.” Dio smiled, walked over to the mother who was tightly holding her child, and slowly knelt down to say:

"My men handed you over to me. Judging from what you just said, this is what you hope for."

Touching the girl in the mother's arms, Dio smiled and said, "You can give your life for us, but we hope you won't harm your own child, is that right?"

The mother was trembling all over, tears streaming uncontrollably from her eyes. The young child couldn't understand his mother's trembling and just clung tightly to her body.

“How touching.” Dio stood up and said with emotion, then pointed to the woman and said, “Alright, for the sake of you being a great mother, neither I nor Kyok will lay a hand on this child. I, Dio, swear this.”

"But... you should have seen what Xiangkai is like now. He has given his body and soul to me. Why don't you join him and become our partner, mother and daughter? That would be much happier."

When Dio tried to recruit her again, he didn't even glance at the woman; he was just fiddling with his nails.

"Please spare this child's life!" the mother pleaded desperately. She was human; how could she possibly choose to become a demon? She only wished for her child to grow up healthy and happy.

"Alright, alright." Dio waved his hand, extended his finger, and turned the mother into a mindless, undead being.

Then, under the girl's desperate and terrified gaze, her mother, screaming "My child!", devoured her daughter in her arms.
