355 The Flaw that Makes All the Difference (1/2)

Meanwhile, it was time to create the prototypes, and as Konrad crossed the void to land above the mountain range, Selene's voice still echoed.

”There are two things I still don't get.

One: What makes you think the Serkar, because we know it's them we're talking about when we say Infernal Cult, can shoulder the Zenith Ants' assault?

Two: What do you hope to accomplish by treating that Ilkaalt girl that way?”

As a one million years old existence, although she bore the appearance of a thirteen years old teen, in Selene's eyes, Ilkaalt was indeed no more than a girl. And having followed Konrad across all those years, it was indeed her first time seeing him inflict such abuse on a woman. Even the inquisitresses in the past didn't shoulder such mistreatment.

”Oh her? She's just a chess piece I'm moving toward a certain direction. If I directly take control of her mind, that will not escape her mother. Therefore, we must induce her into serving our plans on her own free will.

Of course, driven by rage, hatred, and resentment, she will not realize she's doing so.”

Konrad replied with a cold indifference that took Selene aback.Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click for visiting.

”You're not planning to add her to your harem?”

She finally asked, for indeed, Ilkaalt's treatment looked nothing like the women Konrad prepared for his harem.

”Unqualified.”

Though that single word served as all the reply Selene required, she still couldn't wrap her head around Konrad's reasoning.

”I'm getting ever more confused. I dare say that no one knows you better than I do, and as far as women are concerned, there is virtually nothing you cannot tolerate. No matter how evil, how despicable, how rash, proud, playful, or willful, you can accommodate them all. I dare not say that you've taken worse than Ilkaalt, but just as bad, there is more than one.

Why the exception?”

Selene pursued.

”Indeed, to me, a woman's nature has never been much of an issue, but that's primarily because I can rewire them at will. However, women I need to rewire will never hold too great a position in my harem.

But that's not the root of the problem. Like you said, good or evil matters not to me, as long as I want them, I will take them. But there is one unequivocal condition:

Courage.”

Konrad replied while staring at Else and Astarte from above the mountain range.

”The low, the despicable, the scheming, and the cruel; they can have all the flaws in the multiverse, but still, I dare take them all. All, on the condition that they possess this one characteristic: A dauntless heart.

Before danger, do not flinch.

Before adversity, do not waver. If the situation is hopeless, fight and con your way into salvation, but do not surrender to dread.

Having received the blessings of the World Tree and the tutelage of her mother from infancy, Ilkaalt's cultivation talent is extremely high, and her foundation impeccable. Her beauty is also top-notch. To say that she didn't kindle my interest would be a lie.
