Everyone was looking at the majestic man sitting on the throne.
Those who had seen him before were in complete disbelief; those who knew him were thinking they were dreaming, while those who laid their eyes on him were all awed.
Cyrus's lips parted as his impassive, heavy voice rang through every pair of ears that were present in the Origin Lust Sword Dimension.
"I am the Ruler of this Dimension, Lust.
"Natives of different races, I don't know where you are from, how you were born, how you ended up here, how you see each other, what you're planning, what you think this place is…
"Let me enlighten you all, first and foremost. This is My, Lust, Dimension!
"You all here are nothing but invaders in my eyes, standing over my lands, breathing my air, which means I have full right to do anything with the invaders. I can crush you all with a thought, but at the same time, I can also change your life.
"As a magnanimous ruler, since you guys were dragged into my dimension out of your free will, I'll give you all the right to choose between Heaven and Hell.
"Heaven will be you all becoming my loyal subjects by just changing your Invader status into the Indigenous status of my dimension. You will all discard your previous racial identities, your differences, hate, grudges, attachment, and anything you have for your old world. Furthermore, Heaven also represents the rewards befitting choosing Heaven.
"Hell will be you all rejecting my kindness and keeping your status as invaders, which will give me full right to deal with the invaders as I see fit. There will be no rewards but only suffering.
"Now, I shall give you 1 minute to choose, and I want to hear Yes or No. Yes, in case you accept to walk the path of heaven, and No, in case you will go down the path of Hell. And trust me, I will be able to hear your answers, and there will be no do-overs.
"Only after this is out of the way will we move forward…"
Cyrus coldly declared before he shut his mouth and became stoic. The one minute has started!
Right at this moment, any race with intelligence present within the dimension, whether it was humans or goblins, clearly understood Cyrus's words, and they couldn't be more alarmed after he fell into silence.
Forget about the goblins, who were nothing but a bunch of primitives compared to the humans, and they were the true target of Cyrus's speech as well.
The Humans knew what Cyrus was offering at what price. But the thing was, they still had no idea about the full extent of the offer.
Cyrus was extremely ambiguous with his words. Not only did he not leave any leeway for them, but he also didn't tell them anything about what he would give in return if they went along.
But one thing that he does make clear was the end result for those who chose the Hell option will not be very pleasing.
Still, the humans already knew what kind of place a Temple Dimension represented. In all the history they knew, no other Temple Dimension had ever offered to the humans to live there except for one family, the overseer clan of that temple dimension.
However, Cyrus was not only offering them a place to live, he even wanted them to discard their previous world ties and stay permanently in this place, and he was even giving them benefits. Not to mention the allure of the Temple Dimension itself.
Furthermore, 99% of humans were afraid of dying, so their choices were extremely obvious. Cyrus just wanted to make sure these people threw the thought of leaving this place entirely out of their minds and set their mindset to live here forever.
Only then will his plan work to mold this entire dimension into a true world and beyond, all according to his will.
Some of the people, like the twin giants and their brother, Carla, Matilda, and Milly, these people have personally interacted with Cyrus, and they were the most shocked and bewildered about seeing Cyrus appearing as a dimension ruler of a Temple Dimension.
The Twin Giants and Carla were specifically thinking about how Cyrus had offered them a place or invited them into his 'cult,' and their thought process was even more chaotic.
On the other hand, Rita and Hilda were looking at Cyrus's projection dumbfoundedly.
"His face, his personality, his way of speaking, his voice, it's no doubt it's my Cyrus!" Rita muttered in befuddlement.
Hilda's heart also wasn't calm anymore, and she felt even more complicated after hearing Cyrus was now a ruler of a Temple Dimension. She didn't even know how to feel anymore about all this.
"He's too mysterious…" She muttered softly before her gray eyes shimmered in a peculiar light as she looked at Rita and asked, "What is your decision?"
Rita was snapped out of her daze before her eyes shone with adoration and all kind of luscious desire as she gazed heatedly at Cyrus sitting over his throne and answered without hesitation, "Do you need to ask me? I don't have anyone in this world except for him. Even if he wants my life, I'll give him much less joining his own dimension."
She then looked meaningfully at Hilda and said with a meaningful gaze, "Besides, I don't think his words are meant for us. Don't forget we are his Dao companions. We are like queens of this place. He'll soon look for us after subduing all these people. On the other hand, I should be the one asking you, is your heart still not moved by him?"
Hilda gave Rita a silent glance before she turned her head toward Cyrus, and her heart beat wildly for some reason, and a foreign thought came into her mind, 'Yes… I'm more than his wife…'
Some of the people who have seen Boss Lust were naturally the first three guys who got kicked out of his shop.
One of them, the fatty who had run to the Oath Keeper Clan to reap benefits and also get his revenge, was also dragged into the dimension during its forming process.
Furthermore, he wasn't alone, but with him were standing three people clad in green they wore white masks with a golden beam scale imprinted on them. They were naturally from none other than the Oath Keeper Clan!
As the fatty finally made them believe him, the oath keeper clan naturally can't sit idle in the face of this ability user who can probably change the entire power structure of the Regal World.
But they can't be too obvious with their movements since the other nine clans were also present in the forsaken lands, still investigating the appearance of the dimension and disappearance of the oath relic.
So, the hunchbacked old man, the leader of this expedition group, sent three of his best men with the fatty to investigate this individual and even take care of him if possible.
However, when they were just a few miles away from Albert City, they were all dragged into this dimension formation.
As the members of the Oath Keeper Clan, these three naturally knew just how important a temple dimension was and some unknown secrets which were only known to the ten overseer clans.
However, after Cyrus appeared, the fatty was scared out of his damn wits and instantly cried in alarm and told them that it was the same Boss Lust, the ability user he was talking about.
Now after they heard his speech, they were all speechless and lost for what to do.
"Oy, fatty, is that really the same ability user you were talking about?" A melodious voice rang from a dainty figure.
"Y-yes! I can't be wrong. He even called himself Lust, so he's definitely him! What should we do now?! Is he someone from the temple dimensions?" The Fatty was sweating profusely while he felt coldness all over his body as he looked at Cyrus, who seemed to be staring right at him coldly.
"You're asking me? Then who should I ask?" The Oath Keeper Clan's women snorted before she coldly said, "Since we discovered the individual, but we were dragged into the dimension, our deal is over. You are on your own."
Without even giving the fatty a chance to react, the three suddenly vanished without a trace, leaving the Fatty dumbfoundedly, and when he realized what had happened, he fell over to his knees, losing his shit.
The three from the Oath Keeper Clan appeared a few hundred meters away from Fatty's position again.
The woman spoke again, but this time in a grave tone, "There is no such a record of a Temple Dimension creature appearing outside in the dimension directly into our world, nor is there any 'Ruler' like existence present in a dimension neither any temple has this kind of ability.
"We need to investigate this place fully and then find a way to escape with the information. As for now, go with the flow, hide your identities as someone from another temple dimension…"
The three then vanished again while Cyrus's eyes in the projection shimmered sharply, and his lips curled up ever so slightly!
