I Became the Demon King of Lust

The others in the group all watched Tammy as well to see what would happen.

The look on Michael's face made it clear that he was hoping to see her fail, but the rest of them were actually looking forward to seeing the results.

But of course, everyone also made sure to position themselves a bit more forward.

It was as if they were preparing to make a move just in case Tammy were to succeed.

In the end, it was all about their own benefits.

Even if they were clinging to Tammy's leg now, it was only a matter of time before they stabbed her in the back for the red gem. That was why they were all moving into position to make sure that this was possible.

Though there were a few that went over to where the Sol Warriors group was.

At the very least, they were planning to stay with them until the end.

During this time, I moved closer to Alex and Julius to share my idea with them.

"Let's work with Tammy."

Both of them revealed surprised looks when they heard this before quickly asking with serious looks, "Why?"

They didn't reject this idea right away and instead wanted to see what I was thinking.

As expected of the ones that I chose to work with.

I just calmly said, "She's the better one to work with out of all of them."

They raised their brows as if they doubted this, but that wasn't strange since that was actually the situation that we were in. Out of the two sides that we could have worked with, Tammy was the side that was weaker.

While she had her supporters, the majority of the group were waiting to steal the red gem from her.

So the moment that we helped her, it would mean going against everyone here.

But we, or rather my group, had something that could counter that.

So I said, "Trust me, it's the better of the two options. That is unless either of you needs the red gem?"

Both of them looked at the red gem before slowly shaking their heads.

It was clear that this red gem with its fire energy was something for Awakeners with flame attributed powers. It wouldn't be of any use to them, who didn't have any flame attributed powers.

Though they couldn't help looking at Blaze and Kaito who were standing behind me with bitter looks.

I just ignored the two of them who wanted this red gem for themselves and said, "Then since neither of your groups need it, why not give it to Tammy so we can work together with her?"

The two of them looked at me with hesitant looks at first, but in the end, it was Julius who gave a nod of agreement first. Seeing this, Alex also gave a nod of agreement even though there was still a look of hesitation in his eyes.

I wasn't surprised by this since they clearly couldn't see the benefits that came from this cooperation.

So I waved my hand at them and they came closer so we could talk in secret.

With everyone watching Tammy, it was a very good chance for us to talk in secret like this.

"You see, even if she takes this, there are still many beasts that are outside…"

I slowly told them my plan and there were looks of deep thought that appeared on their faces.

After a long time, they finally nodded in agreement to this plan of mine.

Though it seemed risky, it was the kind of risk that they were willing to take.

But there was one problem with my plan.

"How are we supposed to contact her without the others noticing?"

None of us had a power for this kind of situation, so it wasn't as if we could just say these things out loud since we were trying to plot with Tammy against the others that were here.

In the end, it was Julius who gave me a solution.

"I can do it. Did you already forget what I said about my power?" Julius said with a smug smile.

The Divine, he could change the world however he wanted…

Right, he did say that before.

This kind of power should be able to mimic many other different kinds of powers, so being able to talk mentally should be one of the things that he could do.

So I said to Julius, "Can you connect me to her?"

Julius gave a simple nod before raising a hand and gathering some mana.

I could feel that there was this strange mental link that formed in my brain, but I didn't do anything until Julius gave me the go ahead signal.

"Is this miss Tammy of the Sol Warriors?"

I was also looking at Tammy while this was happening.

There were knitted brows on her face as she struggled against the flames, but then there was a look of surprise that appeared on her face as she looked around.

There was no response, but it was clear that she heard what I said, so I continued by saying, "If there's something that you want to say, just think it and I'll be able to hear it. Though I can't hear any thoughts that you're not willing to share, so you don't need to worry about that."

That was a completely different power and to do that, Julius would need to expend a large amount of mana. It would be far greater than just linking our minds to talk just like he was doing now.

There was a long silence before Tammy's voice rang out in my mind to a bit of a surprise to me.

"Who are you and what do you want?"

She didn't beat around the bush at all.

"I am the one who said that we can work together."

There was a look of surprise that appeared on Tammy's face and seeing this, I kept pushing.

"I am the one who stole the mutated Salamander."
