Anime: About That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime

Inside an incomparably luxurious room, the floor was covered with soft, expensive carpets. In the center of the room, on a large bed that could easily accommodate five people, white sheets were stained with blood. Beside the bed, two twin girls, looking almost identical, stood with constrained expressions, their clear, large eyes silently watching the handsome, sunny-looking black-haired youth before them.

“Lust, is it?”

Lu Minghao looked at the information on his talent panel. After arriving in this world, he had awakened a brand new talent: [Lust]. Based on his recent experience with the pot-bellied man and the introduction on the talent panel, Lu Minghao had roughly understood the power of the [Lust] talent.

The core power mainly consisted of three aspects. The first was the ability to dominate and control the most primal desires of living beings. For the vast majority of living beings, the most primal desire engraved in their souls and genes was procreation.

Don't underestimate this desire. It was something that the vast majority of living beings had engraved in their souls and genes from birth. Whether it was humans, animals, plants, or even bacteria, all living beings would begin to pursue procreation when they reached maturity.

It could be said that this was the mission of these living beings, engraved in their souls since birth: procreation.

In other words, Lu Minghao's [Lust] talent possessed the power to control the most primal desires of all living beings. Under this power, regardless of whether they were intelligent or unintelligent beings, they would be completely controlled by desire under Lu Minghao's command.

The second power of [Lust], in Lu Minghao's opinion, was even more interesting: the ability to arbitrarily control the souls of living beings weaker than himself, and to modify and distort them according to his own ideas. In other words, as long as Lu Minghao was willing, he could arbitrarily transform the soul of a living being into whatever he wanted.

‘Should I try it?’

In the next second, Lu Minghao raised his head and looked at the two girls beside him. At this moment, in Lu Minghao's eyes, the souls within the two girls were completely revealed to him. Lu Minghao even felt that as long as he was willing, he could arbitrarily transform their souls into the forms of animals, magical creatures, or even dragons. However, the soul and the body were completely integrated, so a change in the soul would inevitably distort the body in sync.

“Lord, is there anything you need?”

Across from him, the blue-haired girl, the elder sister, was the first to notice Lu Minghao's gaze on her and her sister. In just an instant, the girl felt a fear originating from her soul. Under Lu Minghao's gaze, she felt her soul involuntarily twisting, even wanting to break away from her body.

“It's nothing.”

In the next second, Lu Minghao noticed the abnormal changes in the girl's soul and withdrew his gaze. After all, he had spent a little bit of power to save these two people; it seemed a little wasteful to just get rid of them like that.

Besides, Lu Minghao also felt that he had to strengthen the two girls' power. After all, when Lu Minghao looked at them just now, he was absolutely certain that his own power was restrained, but even with just a simple gaze, the two of them couldn't bear it. If Lu Minghao hadn't withdrawn his gaze in time...

I'm afraid that in the next second, the two girls would have given Lu Minghao a live performance of a human transformation, although the scene of this human transformation would be a little terrifying and indescribable.

“By the way, do you know who those guys outside are?”

As he spoke, Lu Minghao turned his head and looked towards the door, his gaze passing through the wooden door to look at the two people guarding outside the room, as well as the things happening inside each of the incomparably luxurious rooms. Although he had already determined that this world was probably the world of Overlord...

But Lu Minghao hadn't figured out the current situation yet. He had only learned from the two girls that Ainz Ooal Gown had not yet appeared as the adventurer named Momon.

In other words, Ainz Ooal Gown either hadn't come to this world yet, or had just arrived and was currently disguising the Great Tomb of Nazarick while fighting wits and courage with the air.

“Lord, this is an underground industry ruled by ‘Eight Fingers’. On the surface, it's just a normal red-light district, but in secret, it collects many young girls and women from all over the kingdom to satisfy and win over those nobles and big shots.”

Speaking of this, the blue-haired girl subconsciously looked at the shapeless mass behind Lu Minghao. He was one of the big shots in the blue-haired girl's words.

“Eight Fingers? Is there a guy inside called the King of Undead?”

After hearing the girl's words, Lu Minghao touched his chin and turned his head to look at her, asking. If Lu Minghao remembered correctly, the so-called Eight Fingers was a gang that dominated the entire underground organization in the Re-Estize Kingdom, consisting of eight departments: slave trade, assassination, smuggling, theft, drug trafficking, bodyguarding, finance (usury), and gambling.

The entire organization was like a large tree rooted in the shadows of the Re-Estize Kingdom, possessing a vast network of interests, even enough to threaten the entire Re-Estize Kingdom.

On the surface, this organization called ‘Eight Fingers’ seemed very powerful, but in reality, it was easily wiped out by Ainz Ooal Gown in the original story. The only thing that Lu Minghao remembered deeply was that there was a guy inside who could summon a level 20 or 30 Bone Dragon, who called himself the King of Undead in front of Ainz Ooal Gown.

That guy's appearance when he called himself the King of Undead at the time left a deep impression on Lu Minghao.

“Lord, do you also know about Eight Fingers? I did hear about the legend of the King of Undead from an Eight Fingers member before. I heard that he is an incomparably powerful magic caster who can even summon undead creatures.”

Beside her, after hearing Lu Minghao say the words King of Undead, the blue-haired girl's clear, large eyes revealed obvious fear. Although she had never seen the legendary King of Undead, she had only heard the news from the Eight Fingers members who guarded them before.

It had already made her incomparably fearful. That was a terrifying existence that could control undead creatures and the undead. For a girl who grew up in an ordinary village, this was already the most terrifying thing.

“.....”

Lu Minghao turned his head to look at the two frightened girls, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but twitch. After all, the girl's question made Lu Minghao really didn't know how to answer. Could he tell her that he knew that King of Undead entirely because he was showing off in front of Ainz Ooal Gown?

“Ahem, okay, let's not talk about that King of Undead, now.....”

Lu Minghao looked at the two girls in front of him, intending to change the topic about the King of Undead, but he only remembered that he didn't know their names after just opening his mouth.

“Lord, my name is Yusha.”

“My name is Yuri.”

The two girls looked at Lu Minghao, who was looking at them, and sensibly said their names. Even Yuri, who had been hiding behind her sister and dared not speak, raised her head to look at Lu Minghao.

"Well, Yusha, Yuli, are you sure you want me to take you in? If you're unwilling, I can actually send you back. Don't worry, I'm a kind slime."

Looking at the well-behaved sisters, a gentle smile appeared on Lu Minghao's handsome face, and that sunshine-like healing smile made the two girls relax involuntarily.

"Master, please be sure to take us in!"

Across from him, Yusha and Yuli, after hearing Lu Minghao's words, turned their heads to look at each other, then knelt directly in front of Lu Minghao, lowering their heads to express their willingness to follow Lu Minghao. After all, their family had already been killed by the Eight Fingers.

Moreover, now, after losing their family, coupled with their experiences during this period, the two girls understood that even if Lu Minghao was really willing to let them leave, then they, two delicate girls with no power to resist, would face even more cruel experiences.

"Okay."

Looking at the two girls in front of him, Lu Minghao nodded lightly, and took back his hand from the top of their heads. He smacked his lips with a bit of regret. If the two girls chose to leave, then Lu Minghao would also fulfill their request.

It's just that, before leaving, he would give them a little gift, such as a head pat.

"Alright, let's go, it's time to leave here."

In the next second, Lu Minghao, who had just finished speaking, opened the door and walked out amidst the surprised gazes of the two girls. Seeing this, Yusha and Yuli, who originally thought Lu Minghao would leave quietly, also hurriedly followed.

Squeak!

As the wooden door was pulled open, the two black-clothed men who were originally guarding outside the door also hurriedly turned around with obsequious expressions, just about to say something, when they suddenly discovered that the person standing in front of them was not the nobleman who had entered earlier, but a handsome teenager who looked to be about eighteen years old, and behind the teenager, the two girls who were originally commodities were also looking at them.

Most importantly, they smelled a faint bloody scent in the air wafting from the room. Instantly, a bad premonition appeared in their minds.

"You…"

In the next second, one of the black-clothed men raised his head and stared fixedly at Lu Minghao, his body instinctively lunging towards Lu Minghao, but just as the other black-clothed man was about to say something, suddenly a stream of warm liquid splattered onto his face.

Instantly, the black-clothed man's blue pupils shrank to the extreme, and the expression on his face became ferocious and full of fear. He saw that the black-clothed man who had just pounced towards Lu Minghao directly exploded into a cloud of blood in mid-air, drifting in the air.

"Hmm?"

At this time, Lu Minghao, who was walking out of the room, slightly raised his head and glanced at the still-alive black-clothed man, then completely ignored him and walked towards the passage ahead. Seeing this, Yusha and Yuli endured their fear and followed Lu Minghao. Although they had seen dead people before, it was the first time they had seen someone die like this.

Bang!

After Lu Minghao left with the twin sisters, in the next second, the black-clothed man with a ferocious expression fell to the ground, his blue eyes already becoming incomparably dim. If someone could see souls, they would discover that his soul had completely melted.

'Changing souls, quite an interesting ability.'

Inside the passage, Lu Minghao slowly walked forward step by step. Along the way, people from the Eight Fingers kept running from all directions, wanting to kill Lu Minghao, this suddenly emerging guy, but whenever someone was seen by Lu Minghao, they would instantly fall to the ground.

Most of them died directly because their souls were instantly twisted, and their bodies couldn't bear it. There were also a very small number who endured the pain of their souls being twisted and transformed, falling to the ground and constantly roaring, while their bodies began to undergo distortion.

"So that's how it is. The soul and the body have synchronicity, and the changes in the soul will also affect the shape of the body. I just don't know if the distortion of the body will affect the soul?"

Inside the passage, Lu Minghao looked expressionlessly at the man wailing at his feet. In Lu Minghao's eyes, the man's original human-like soul had been twisted and transformed into the appearance of a beast, and at the same time, the man's body also began to distort towards the appearance of the soul.

However, I don't know if it's because the man's strength is too low, causing the changes in his body to not keep up with the changes in his soul. At this time, he has already been distorted into a half-human, half-beast appearance, and has completely lost his mind.

"It seems that next time I can try to find a guy with good strength, or slowly transform him, to see if he can adapt."

After saying that, Lu Minghao continued to walk forward. As for the guy behind him, he was already useless. In front of him, the remaining people of the Eight Fingers looked at Lu Minghao, who was walking step by step, and showed expressions of fear. After all, who wouldn't be afraid, watching people with similar strength to themselves die inexplicably in patches.

Even the ones who survived were in incomparable pain, even constantly emitting shrill wails in front of their eyes, their bodies constantly distorting into a terrifying appearance.

"Mo...monster!"

"Run!"

In the next second, all the remaining people of the Eight Fingers screamed and turned around to escape. As for whether they would be punished after escaping, they couldn't care less.

"By the way, Yusha, do you know where the treasure room here is?"

Lu Minghao raised his head and glanced at the escaping Eight Fingers members, completely without any concern in his eyes. Anyway, they were all small ants that were completely unworthy of attention. Compared to them, Lu Minghao was more concerned about whether there was a place similar to a treasure room here.

After all, Lu Minghao would also need the wealth of this world next. Of course, Lu Minghao didn't care if he didn't have it. Anyway, he would go to a noble to discuss it at that time, and he believed that he would be very willing to help himself.

"Master, the treasure room seems to be over there."

Beside him, Yusha, after hearing Lu Minghao's words, hurriedly walked up and pointed to a passage, saying that before she and her sister were brought back by the Eight Fingers leader who was guarding here, Yusha noticed that most of the treasures collected here were piled up in that room.

"Well, let's go there first."

Saying that, Lu Minghao walked in the direction pointed by Yusha. A few minutes later, a large iron gate appeared in front of Lu Minghao. After casually kicking the gate away, Lu Minghao walked in expressionlessly.

In the small room, a wooden table was piled with gold coins, and beside the wooden table, the iron door that Lu Minghao had kicked away was embedded in the wall. Blood was constantly flowing down the wall, it seemed that someone was hiding here before, but Lu Minghao sent them away along the way.

"Yusha, pack all these up."

"Yes."

Saying that, Yusha walked to the bedside and bit her lip tightly, glanced at the iron door embedded in the wall in front of her, then lowered her head, grabbed the bag beside the bed, packed all the gold coins and gems in the room, and followed Lu Minghao out.
