Jeremy didn't respond immediately. He simply stared at her and at the pool of liquid behind her. How could he use it? Was he truly interested in her? Absolutely yes, her power was terrifying. Imagine his evolved Bone Legion. That would be thrilling.
But the point was something else. Did he really need her… alive? He could just create a new Aberration, a fusion between her and Aliken.
Just as his gaze turned to the devil, Cambela spoke slowly. "I know what you're thinking. You don't need us alive. I've seen your undead, I've seen what they're capable of, and honestly, I too would have a hard time trusting a stranger who says they want to be with you forever and follow you."
"But know this about my power." Cambela's gaze didn't waver. "It cannot exist outside of me. We are in symbiosis. Upon my death, this concept will vanish, as if it never existed."
Jeremy observed her.
