Chapter 443: The Death Falls Once More

Azik's footsteps were steady, but the Bronze Coffin was becoming increasingly frantic, buzzing and trembling, while the aura of death and those pale runes pulsed incessantly.

"The 'Death' has already fallen." Azik reached out and placed his hand on the lid of the Bronze Coffin.

Boom!

The Bronze Coffin seemed to explode, with countless runes gushing out from within, forming a humanoid phantom in a few fleeting moments.

Nine rays of light flew out from the Bronze Coffin, merging into the body of the phantom.

"Salinger!" Will's voice suddenly became grave.

Klein's spiritual intuition reached its peak at this moment.

The humanoid phantom slowly shifted, actually transforming into a Southern Continent native wearing a black robe.

His features were deep and his eyes were dead and silent; only when his gaze fell upon Azik did a certain vitality emerge.

He was that "Underworld Emperor" of the Fourth Epoch!

Those Beyonder Characteristics belonging to this "Underworld Emperor" pieced together, as if truly reproducing that terrifying existence from back then.

"Child, you and I were originally one..." This "Underworld Emperor" phantom actually spoke, hoarse and cold, as he drifted toward Azik Eggers.

And as Azik Eggers touched the Bronze Coffin, his body began to tremble, drops of sweat sliding down his forehead and hitting the floor, blooming into a layer of pale yellow grease.

"Hah! Hah!"

Azik gasped for breath, emitting a sound that did not seem like one a human could make.

His spirit body uncontrollably floated out from his body; it was changing, becoming similar in appearance to the "Underworld Emperor"!

Once the two converged and merged into one, finally entering Azik Eggers's body, that "Underworld Emperor" would very likely return in the identity of the "Pale Emperor"!

Klein's pupils shrank sharply; he was already on the verge of throwing out the "Snake of Fate" bracelet.

"He is Salinger's resurrection vessel; his body and soul were modified the moment he was born." Will's voice carried a certain complexity.

In this world, having children was always done with a purpose.

Such a cruel Reality was not something a child less than a year old should be exposed to.

At the same time, the "Snake of Fate"'s eyes were already glowing, and countless Fate runes were surging, about to form an infinitely rotating ring; "Restart" was useless against the "Underworld Emperor," but he could "Restart" Azik Eggers's state to interrupt this ritual.

"Wait!" Klein widened his eyes abruptly; he felt his own Spirituality calm down at this moment, and even had the urge to kneel on the ground and pray devoutly.

Ssh!

In the instant when no one could react, a ray of light came from nowhere, piercing through the "Underworld Emperor"'s figure, and even a force ran through Azik's body and spirit body.

"Spear of Destiny!" Even Will was shocked.

Phew... Klein breathed a sigh of relief; the "Spear of Destiny" thrust one thousand years ago had killed the current "Underworld Emperor"!

"No!" the "Pale Empress" exclaimed, about to forcibly intervene.

Yet under the might of the "Spear of Destiny," this "Death Consul" was unable to move.

The "Underworld Emperor" looked down at his chest; the "Spear of Destiny" gradually dissipated, leaving behind a hole that was transparent from front to back. Through the hole, Klein could even see that Dream Phosphor had already eroded every part of this phantom.

A look of pain appeared on his face; at this moment, the brilliance in his eyes was at its most intense.

"Dream!"

This "Underworld Emperor" shouted this name in unwillingness and Despair, then disintegrated inch by inch, the Characteristics that had condensed into his body crumbling back into the Bronze Coffin.

And at this time, Azik Eggers, who had already regained his senses, watched the collapse of the "Underworld Emperor" in silence; by now, the Dream Phosphor that had fallen onto him had already modified his body and soul.

The arrangement on him that originated from the "Underworld Emperor" had been wiped away by a powerful force, and the "Curse" that had plagued him for a lifetime was completely erased.

"From the day he was pierced by the Spear of Destiny, his fallen Fate was already destined." Azik looked at the distraught "Pale Empress."

"Dream does not have the Authority of 'Fate,' but who could resist the 'Spear of Destiny' he thrust?" Will sighed in Klein's ear; his "Snake of Fate" self felt quite dejected.

"So, Azik Eggers's disappearance back then was an arrangement by Dream." Will had also solved one of the unsolved mysteries of that year.

In that battle at the end of the Fourth Epoch, the absence of the "Death Consul" was one of the main reasons for the rapid collapse of the Balam Empire.

"Everything is meaningless now." The "Pale Empress," this Angel, stepped forward a few paces and placed her hand on the Bronze Coffin; this time, the Bronze Coffin had lost that kind of activity.

"After today, you can be the true 'Pale Empress'," Azik stepped back a few paces, "Your duty is to protect your people well."

Azik Eggers did not even look at that portion of the "Pale Emperor."

The current "Pale Emperor" Characteristic had already wiped away the influence of the "Underworld Emperor"'s consciousness; using it to advance had a high probability of success.

"Do you not need it?" The "Pale Empress" stared blankly at those Characteristics that originally belonged to the "Underworld Emperor."

"You are the Empress." Azik returned to Klein's side and nodded lightly toward Klein.

Klein looked at Mr. Azik, who only had a sense of relief on his face, and breathed a sigh of relief.

The Dream Phosphor that had just pierced Mr. Azik's body and soul was beneficial to him.

"It's your turn." Azik signaled for Klein to speak.

Only then did Klein remember that he wanted to make contact with the Aegis Family, and the "Pale Empress" before him was the current controller of the Aegis Family.

"Respected Empress, I come from the Evernight Church." Klein thought for three seconds, stepped forward, and decided to seize this opportunity.

The failure of the "Underworld Emperor"'s resurrection was a great mental shock to this "Pale Empress," and she seemed quite suitable for negotiation.

"Evernight Church!?" A strong sense of death suddenly surged in the "Pale Empress"'s eyes; she looked at Klein with powerful pressure, as if she were about to pronounce Klein's death.

Klein's figure flashed; the power of death was like a spring breeze brushing past, merely blowing Klein's hair without causing him any influence.

This ability made both the "Pale Empress" and Mr. Azik's eyes narrow.

"I came here only to inform Her Majesty the Empress that the Angels of the God of War Church and the Mother Goddess of Earth Church are already on their way."

Klein's words made the "Pale Empress"'s expression turn serious; she looked at Klein, "You all are merely harboring the same intentions."

As she spoke, the "Pale Empress" reached into the Bronze Coffin and took out a crown that looked as if it were carved from white bone.

This was the Beyonder Characteristic of the "Pale Emperor."

"At the very least, we no longer need the crown in your hand." Klein said honestly.
