Chapter 216: Undead Resurrection, Gathering Asgard, Dark Elf Soul Energy

A large number of dark elves were piloting their ships and launching an attack on Asgard.

But the timing is a bit off! Luode furrowed his brows; these dark elves shouldn't be invading Asgard at this point in time.

The New York battle had just ended, Thor had only just returned to Asgard, and even the Rainbow Bridge had just been repaired.

According to the plot of Thor 2, it should happen next year, and moreover, when he was a guest in Asgard before.

Luode had also asked Heimdall when the celestial phenomenon of the Nine Realms aligning in a line would begin; Heimdall's answer was clear: next year. So why would the dark elves invade Asgard at this point? "They are dark elves, these bastards, these bastards actually came back."

Not only Luode recognized the dark elf warships, but also the dwarf king Ai Chui standing beside him.

"Elves? Or dark elves, they, they look somewhat similar to night elves.

"Only their ears are a bit smaller, their skin a bit darker, and the energy within them is like shadow." Azeroth stared at the dark elves attacking Asgard, full of curiosity.

Azeroth's elf race can be said to be a species she indirectly created,

Trolls are the native species born on her own planet, while the oldest night elves were all born from infection with the power of the Eternal Well.

Later high elves and nightborne were also formed by infection with another power, degenerating or mutating.

The appearance of these elves differs considerably from that of the elves in Azeroth's world.

Their internal dark energy is somewhat similar to shadow power, but not exactly the same.

"They are purely dark creatures; they like dark environments, so their dream is to turn the entire universe into a dark world.

Tens of thousands of years ago, Asgard's previous monarch, Odin's father, had once defeated their dark elf leader Malekith and sealed them in the dark world.

Who would have thought that these sealed dark creatures would one day make a comeback?

"O mighty gods, help Asgard; these dark elves dare to drag the whole universe into darkness." The dwarf king Ai Chui immediately appealed for help to Luode and the others.

Among the Nine Realms, the races under Asgard's protection all have a poor impression of the dark elves.

Even the frost giants who once fought fierce wars with Asgard are not very friendly toward these dark elves.

These guys are a bunch of utter lunatics; after the universe falls into darkness, nothing else can survive besides them.

"Let the whole universe fall into darkness? Our universe also has a bunch of such guys, but their strength is far greater than theirs.

"How can such weak creatures possibly plunge this world into darkness?" Sargeras wondered curiously.

The Void Lord of his own world ultimately aims to plunge the entire world into darkness.

But the problem is that his strength is sufficient; he indeed has the capability to invade the material universe.

But these guys are just a group slightly stronger than mortal races; what do you rely on?

"They have created a powerful weapon using the Reality Gem, called ether particles, and they intend to plunge the whole world into darkness with it." The dwarf king explained to everyone.

"Don't worry! We won't stand by idly; although we don't know the exact situation, let's first eliminate these guys." Luode said and was the first to step through the portal.

To drag the whole universe into a dark world, the power of a single Infinity Stone seems insufficient!

Sargeras and Azeroth also followed Luode through the portal.

"Perfect timing to test my new weapon." Azeroth raised the bow in her hand, aimed at a dark elf warship, pulled the bowstring taut, and a blue magical energy arrow began to gather on the bow.

Whoosh! The massive energy arrow shot out, directly shattering the dark elf spacecraft before her into pieces.

"This artifact's power is not bad; I'll use it when I possess Tyrande later." Azeroth smiled while holding her bow.

Luode, meanwhile, released his two homunculus creations, and then a sea of fire spread across the sky, directly enveloping the invading dark elf fleet in the heavens.

"Let me explain my power! I'll burn you to death, you worms." Hellfire's fel flames instantly incinerated large numbers of dark elves.

"Hades, don't think you can steal the spotlight alone; get up, dark elves, attack your kin." At that moment, Helios also invoked the power of the Eternal Flame.

Soul fire was infused into the bodies of the already-dead dark elves.

These originally dead dark elves instantly glowed green in their eyes, then rose as undead forms and launched a ferocious attack against their former comrades.

"This ability to resurrect the undead is somewhat similar to necromancy, yet not the same." Sargeras spoke.

It's truly strange that something called the Eternal Flame possesses the power to command the undead, soul flames—it's really quite peculiar.

"Let's join in too! First we'll repel these dark elves." Luode said and unleashed a fel flame, instantly burning the few dark elves before him to ash.

Sarge also sprang into action; arcane magic danced in his hands, various spells flowing forth one after another.

Large numbers of the slain dark elves would be controlled by Helios's soul fire, then rise again to join the fight against their former allies.

Had Luode not ordered otherwise, even the fallen Asgardian soldiers would have been turned into undead by Helios and revived.

"Asgardian warriors, gather your comrades' corpses.

"If they haven't been dead too long and the bodies are intact, I can revive them at a small cost." Luode shouted at that moment.

What a great opportunity! Harvesting a wave of souls from the Asgardians—how could we pass it up? Azeroth's life magic, her own soul stone, can pull back to life those who have just died.

Asgardians, contributing a bit of soul energy isn't too much, is it?

"Prince Luode, thank you for your help, but these soldiers are already dead; we don't want them to become undead." An Asgardian officer spoke.

He thought Luode's method was to turn that mighty spiked club weapon currently wreaking havoc into an undead state like the dark elves.

"You're thinking too much, Asgardian warriors; I possess a skill called the Soul Stone that can revive lives that have just died.

"But the corpses must not be too severely damaged; to use this ability, I also need some soul energy. Would you be willing to contribute?" Luode explained his Soul Stone skill to the Asgardians.

The Asgardian soldiers immediately brought over some comrades who had just died not long ago, whose bodies were not badly damaged.

Luode cast fel magic, first creating a Soul Well, then had these Asgardian soldiers craft healing stones inside it. With Luode's current fel power, he could easily make a Soul Well, allowing them to produce potent healing stones.

"I need to draw a century's worth of your soul power, then revive your comrades; after they revive,

"their wounds will still remain, so you must use these healing stones to treat their injuries.

"Usage is simple: just crush them onto their bodies.

Luode introduced the Asgardians to the use of the Soul Well and how he would soon operate it.

"If we can save our comrades, giving up a hundred years of lifespan is nothing; please save them, Lord Luode.

Luode smiled, nodded, and began drawing soul power from these living Asgardian warriors.

Then, using some mortal soul energy drawn from Azeroth, he crafted it into Soul Stones and used them to resurrect the fallen Asgardian soldiers.

Aizelasi's resurrection spell has great limitations, but this thing, when used on the battlefield, is absolutely a divine skill! Soon a fallen Asgard warrior, after touching the soul stone, opened their eyes, and then, with the help of the healing stone, recovered again.

It's unbelievable! It actually revived! Truly amazing magic.

Although there is a cost of consuming soul energy, this amount of soul energy is nothing to us Asgard people! Brothers who are still alive! Quickly collect your companions' corpses, then come and contribute your soul energy.

"Revive our fallen comrades; every Asgard person is most precious." The Asgard commander shouted loudly.

Large numbers of Asgard people began to act, the living providing soul energy, the dead awaiting resurrection.

Luode stood to the side, a hint of a smile on their lips, just like that, come on! Come on!

Provide me with soul energy, the soul energy of the Asgard people.

After his two weapons displayed great power, large numbers of dark elves also fell into fear of Luode.

Luode naturally would not let this situation pass, directly creating two soul clones to go and extract the soul power of these dark elves.

As for them, Luode showed no mercy, directly extracting all of their souls.

The soul power of the dark elves is also very precious, not inferior to that of the Asgard people.

The battlefield and such are extremely suitable for me to extract soul power.

The soul power of the Asgard people, as well as the soul power of the dark elves, is now all mine.

The situation on the battlefield began to completely reverse. A continuous stream of Asgard warriors revived and then continued to join the fight.

As for the dark elves, large numbers of warriors, after falling into fear of Luode, had their entire souls extracted immediately, collapsed to the ground, and then their corpses were revived by Hadisi using soul fire.

The leader of the dark elves, Malejisi, stared at all this, gritting their teeth and glaring at Luode, extremely angry.

"Lord Malejisi, we should retreat." The cursed warrior beside him grabbed the enraged Malejisi.

"I know, let the warriors begin to retreat!" Malejisi took a deep breath and issued the retreat order to all dark elves.

After discarding a large number of corpses, the dark elf leader Malejisi, then brought his subordinates and fled in a sorry state from Asgard.

"Lord Luode, we, we still have some companions' corpses that have suffered some damage; please save them."

"We can offer more soul power, as long as, as long as you can save our comrades."

Some Asgard warriors dragged over some shattered corpses, and even some corpses were missing their lower halves.

"Sorry, some injuries to the corpse are fine, but it must remain intact; for something like this, only half remaining, I am powerless." Luode shook their head.

"You really think I'm omnipotent! My soul stone, even my life magic resurrection, cannot revive a half-corpsed corpse."

Upon hearing this, the Asgard warriors felt somewhat disappointed, but this is already good enough; many of the warriors who died in battle today have been revived.

Only in the afternoon of that day did Oding bring Thor to Luode's presence.

"Lord Luode, I've heard you can revive the dead; please, please, save my mother, she was ambushed by Malejisi!" Thor rushed over, grabbed Luode, and said with a pleading face.

"Thank you, Lord Luode, thank you for helping us repel the enemy and also reviving our Asgard warriors."

"Please save my queen; if soul energy is needed, I, this God King, can also provide." Oding also came before Luode.

"If the corpse is preserved intact, I can revive her; please bring your goddess over."

"Of course, if the corpse is damaged, then I have no way."

The father and son nodded, and quickly brought the goddess's corpse over; she was killed by the dark elf leader together with the cursed warrior.

The wound locations: one in the abdomen, one in the waist; the good news is, the body hasn't suffered any serious damage.

Luode extracted one hundred years of soul energy from each of Oding and Thor, then directly cast the resurrection spell.

Emerald-green life energy enveloped this Asgard goddess, beginning to slowly repair her bodily deficiency.

Then using the soul stone, I dragged back her soul that was already about to reach the Hall of Heroic Souls, and thus successfully revived this goddess.

"Ha! Ha!" The Asgardian's body suddenly opened its eyes, gasping heavily, she has revived.

"Great, Mother! You've returned! Without you, I don't know what to do." Thor immediately flung himself into his mother's embrace and began to cry.

"I also don't want to leave you, my dear."

"Welcome back, my queen." Oding stepped forward and patted Fulijia's shoulder.

"Lord God King, can you tell me what happened?" Luode asked.

"It's all this idiot's fault." God King Oding fiercely punched his own son.
