Global Lords: Hundredfold Increments Starting With the Undead

Chapter 1146: Chapter 748, Slave Trafficking Tribe

The sudden appearance of the cocoon also caught Fang Hao off guard.

He thought consuming an “Excitation Crystal” would merely enhance his level or boost basic attributes.

He never expected such a dramatic reaction.

A giant cocoon materializing on the spot—this was beyond his imagination.

Tap, tap!!

The sound of footsteps echoed as Nisbit, who was stationed outside, quickly came into the room.

He had heard the commotion inside and entered to investigate.

After glancing warily at the cocoon, Nisbit immediately positioned himself to shield Fang Hao.

Fang Hao waved his hand hurriedly. “It’s fine, there’s no danger for now. Stay here and keep watch.”

“Understood, my lord.”

Fang Hao sat down nearby, while the two Nisbit guards stood vigilantly on either side of him.

Although Fang Hao didn’t fully believe Domina would be a danger to him,

there were some things where caution was better than regret.

About thirty minutes passed.

The cocoon, wrapped in white silk, began to move slightly.

Under the watchful eyes of one human and two undead, layer after layer of webbing fell away, revealing the somewhat transformed Domina inside.

Her figure was still tall and slender, but now the black insect armor on her body sported intricate dark green patterns—strikingly beautiful, yet exuding an unsettling danger.

The black insect armor’s coverage had expanded and nearly enveloped her entire body.

It resembled a form-fitting bodysuit, vaguely evoking an image of Spider-Man.

What drew the most attention, though, was the additional pair of eyes perched above her brow.

All four eyes blinked sequentially as they scanned the surroundings.

[Queen of Fateweavers – Domina (Green Tier 10 Hero)].

Domina’s hero prefix had changed.

It was no longer just “Fateweaver” but had evolved into “Queen of Fateweavers.”

“My lord? What happened?” Domina asked curiously, noticing Fang Hao gripping his Thunderhawk Blade with vigilance.

Fang Hao snapped out of his thoughts. Seeing that Domina appeared normal, he sheathed his Thunderhawk Blade.

“It’s nothing. I just saw you encased in a cocoon and thought something dangerous might be happening,” Fang Hao explained, then asked her, “How do you feel?”

The insect armor on Domina’s body swiftly receded,

revealing her head, her fair collarbone, and her smooth back.

She had returned to her original appearance.

Domina stretched her body slightly and remarked, “I feel like my strength has increased significantly.”

Fang Hao opened her attributes panel and examined it.

There was a new racial trait: [Demon Spider].

And a new skill: [Spider’s Eye].

[Demon Spider]: The body of a Demon Spider grants immunity to mental control effects, adds +20% resistance to toxins, fire, and ice elements, and +25% magic resistance.

The newly emerged trait bore some similarities to “Ancient Giant Bloodline” from the Crimson Flame War God.

It provided physical advantages and offered strong resistance to various conditions.

But the most striking aspect of “Demon Spider” was its immunity to mental control effects.

This meant that all mental-control skills would be ineffective against her.

To think Domina had already reached Green Tier 10.

The second addition, [Spider’s Eye], could be considered an offensive skill.

[Spider’s Eye (Active)]: This ability allows the unit to release mental skills through their eyes, causing targets to experience dizziness, confusion, or a loss of hostility.

Wow, so now she’s immune to mental attacks herself, yet can use mental skills against others? Charming!

Mental abilities came in various types.

For example, White Temptress Demons could hypnotize others and pull people into dreamscapes, while Domina’s version seemed more like a disruptive kind of skill.

Fang Hao didn’t know much about mental-type abilities, but he felt the White Temptress Demons’ abilities were probably more potent.

“My lord, I think I’ve advanced,” Domina said, examining her body.

Fang Hao turned around but didn’t rush to take out the remaining Excitation Crystals.

Instead, he said, “Come, let’s take you to the Merit Training Ground for an assessment first.”

After reaching Tier 10 status, heroes needed to undergo an assessment.

Domina being stuck at Tier 10 was likely due to level restrictions.

“Understood, my lord.”

The two of them left the Lord’s Manor.

They headed straight to the Merit Training Ground.

Fang Hao handed her the required materials and gold coins, instructing her briefly before she disappeared into the altar.

…

Instead of waiting around idly, Fang Hao made his way to the nearby Blackstone Training Ground.

He sat down on a wooden bench by the entrance.

Watching the maids throwing punches and kicks, their movements full of vigor, was strangely entertaining.

Ding!

After a while, the Book of Lords chimed with a private message alert.

It seemed like today was packed with events.

Opening the notification, Fang Hao saw it was a message from Ma Tianyi.

“Boss, I’ve run into a bit of trouble.”

Ma Tianyi commanded a considerable number of transmigrators. What kind of trouble could he possibly face?

“What happened?”

“The nearby Orc City is mobilizing their forces and planning to attack us.”

The repercussions of the Divine Territory mission had finally surfaced.

The transmigrators had expended quite a bit of manpower for the mission—some even returned as one-man armies.

This instability had emboldened certain indigenous factions,

including bandits, robbers, or rival city-state forces with prior grievances.

They didn’t die during the mission; instead, they might now meet their end at the hands of these opportunists.

“Explain in detail!” Fang Hao replied.

After a brief pause, Ma Tianyi sent several messages to recount the situation.

Shanhai Alliance was located in orc territories, which were notoriously unstable.

Raiding and plundering between clans was common practice.

Kenreva Orc City was the largest city in the vicinity.

Relations between them and the transmigrators had always been strained, but they had held back due to concerns about their manpower.

This time, however, they had sent orcs to deliver a message:

The Shanhai Alliance must submit and obey their orders,

or face annihilation by the Orc army.

Ma Tianyi quickly dispatched scouts to investigate, confirming that the Orcs were indeed amassing troops with no signs of bluffing.

After internal deliberation, the Shanhai Alliance had no better options and reached out to Fang Hao for help.

“They gave you a warning? Mobilized their army yet still sent word first?” Fang Hao was puzzled.

Ma Tianyi replied, “We’re not entirely sure. It might be an attempt to get us to surrender and conserve their forces, or perhaps it’s just part of their usual style—they haven’t changed.”

“Style?”

“Yeah. Kenreva City is the largest slaving operation. They specialize in raiding and capturing orcs to sell off, their business extending throughout the Orc region and into nearby human territories.”

Hmm…

As Fang Hao read the message, his mind involuntarily conjured up the image of the oily, sleazy voice of a slave trader.

Could it be such a coincidence?

Was that slave trader he previously dealt with actually from the same group as these orc slavers?

Thinking about it… it wasn’t impossible.

Being a slaver wasn’t a job just anyone could take on.

Having a robust background and powerful backing was essential, and using an Orc City as a base certainly fit the requirement.

They might indeed be related.

“They want to negotiate with you? When?”

“Tomorrow morning, at Kenreva. I’m not sure if I should go,” Ma Tianyi confessed.

Fang Hao thought about it briefly before asking, “What’s the strength of their city lord?”

“A purple-tier orc hero. I’ve seen them before. Their forces, though, are significant and include a large number of suicide squads.”

“Alright, I understand. Tomorrow, I’ll assign people to handle this. Don’t worry,” Fang Hao assured him.

With Ma Tianyi’s current capabilities, taking on the Orcs directly would clearly be a tough battle.

This, however, was a perfect excuse for Fang Hao to consolidate the surrounding Orc territories under his domain.

“Thank you, boss.”

“Mm.”

The two ended their conversation, and Fang Hao continued sitting on the wooden bench, watching the maids train.

…

Time passed slowly.

Soon, a bright light flashed in the center of the Merit Training Ground.

From within the glow emerged Domina in her giant spider form.

Her massive black body, adorned with mottled-colored markings, immediately caught Fang Hao’s attention.

Sure enough, she had succeeded.

Standing up, he walked over. Domina’s form quickly shifted, reverting to her human appearance.

[Queen of Fateweavers – Domina (Blue Tier 1 Hero)].

As expected, she had advanced, reaching Blue rank.

“My lord, I did it.” A joyful expression appeared on Domina’s face.

“Mm. I knew you would succeed.”

“Th-thank you, my lord,” Domina stammered, her four eyes darting nervously as she glanced at him.

“Let’s go back. We’ll see if we can push this further.”

“Push it further?” Domina asked in confusion as she followed Fang Hao back to the Lord’s Manor.

Back in the hall,

Domina couldn’t stop examining her own body.

Her limb-like legs danced with precision, thrusting out like swords.

Winds whooshed with each strike.

“Domina, don’t damage the vase—it’s from the Dwarves,” Fang Hao reminded her from the side.

“Oh, understood, my lord.” Domina immediately ceased her movements, her gaze flickering nervously toward him. “So, my lord, what shall we do next?”

“Uh… first, we push your advancements.” Fang Hao produced another Excitation Crystal and placed it on the table.

Domina’s eyes widened again.

“My lord, you have more?”

“Go ahead. Let’s see if we can advance you further.” Fang Hao nudged the crystal toward her.

Domina studied it intently before picking it up.

Taking a deep breath, she crushed it above her mouth.

The green liquid streamed down, and she swallowed it in one gulp.

Her skin rapidly grew red as the dark green patterns on her insect armor began to glow again.

Her entire body seemed to boil, heat radiating from her surface as she struggled to stay still, letting out ragged breaths of pain and effort.

“Domina, are you alright? Your red skin’s a bit concerning,” Fang Hao asked, testing the waters.

“I-I’m fine. Just feel… so hot, like my blood’s on fire,” Domina replied weakly.

Blood on fire?

This sensation, along with her condition, was remarkably similar to when Fang Hao took the Demon Dragon Potion.

Fang Hao immediately left the hall and addressed the Skeleton soldiers outside. “Bring some cold water and set it up in the bathtub.”

“Yes!” The lined-up Skeleton soldiers turned,

retrieving buckets from the warehouse and transporting water to the bathroom.

Domina’s condition improved, but the earlier experience had drenched her in sweat.

[Queen of Fateweavers – Domina (Blue Tier 2 Hero)].

Another rank-up.

Was it possible for one crystal to yield one rank?

The power of the crystal was almost too terrifying.

“My lord, I’m fine now. There’s no need to trouble them,” Domina said.

Fang Hao shook his head, then began piling up one crystal after another on the table until they formed a small mountain. “I think you’ll still need it; otherwise, you might not last until we finish these.”

Domina’s four eyes widened, and her spider legs tensed instantly.

She stared at the crystalline mountain with disbelief.

“My lord, are all these… for me?”

“Of course!”

[Queen of Fateweavers – Domina’s loyalty to you has increased by 1 point. Current loyalty: 100.]
