Chapter 556: Are there two Undead Godheads?

~8 min read 1,472 words

Giant Hand Balu is indeed a Lord of Mourning. There is no doubt that it is the most powerful undead creature on this plane under the King. However, its reputation is not obvious. The outside world only knows Gust, Nosalo, Alan Bulu...... because, Giant Hand Balu is grounded.

"Grounded? Is there anything that can hold a Lord of Mourning?" Negris was surprised.

"How can it not be held? Under soul restraint, even if the King draws a circle and asks it to stand on one foot, it has to stand obediently." Kent said.

"Since there is a soul connection, why do you still say it has a reverse spirit? Can it still betray the King?" Negris asked puzzledly.

"It doesn't have a soul oath with the King, but a loyalty oath. Most of our souls don't have a soul oath with the King. The King said that kind of restraint is troublesome. If he wants to do something one day, he has to lift it in advance."

"Only a small part of the high-level souls can offer their souls to the King. However, those skeletons and zombies all have soul connections with the King, so we are all very confused. Why does the King want to lift the soul connection in advance?" Kent muttered puzzledly.

Negris and others guessed why and whispered: "It is estimated that it is to worry about attacks similar to faith storms, or maybe the King is tired of playing one day and wants to go back, so he doesn't have to bother to lift the soul connection."

Of course, these are guesses. The specific situation must be confirmed by finding the King.

Continue to whisper: "Shouldn't the skeleton of mourning that the Lord of Silence wants be the skeleton of this Balu?"

"Even if it is Balu's skeleton, it is not worth a Starburst Array, so I suspect there is another reason."

bidige.

"You'll know if you mix in."

Negris turned to Kent and said: "We can't figure out who wants to betray the King now, but the King has a request, and the Undead God will not sit idly by. You take us in to find Balu."

"Don't even think about it, it must be him. Now the King is trapped in the Silence Barrier. If something happens to him, no one will be able to control Balu. It has a reverse spirit and will definitely rebel. Go, go, I will take you to find it and catch it." Kent said.

After walking a few steps, Kent suddenly turned around and asked: "Is the King big, or is the Undead God big? Who listens to whom?"

Anthony smiled and replied: "Don't worry about who listens to whom, you definitely listen to the Undead God."

"Oh." Kent sensibly indicated that he understood, turned around and muttered again: "It won't work if I don't listen. You gave me a soul brand as soon as you came up. I didn't see anything clearly, and you made me faint. It's too unreasonable."

"How do we know if you have a reverse spirit? We can only control you first. It's better than killing you directly. If Scarecrow Wuga uses a little more force, you will die. Wait until the matter is finished and then lift it for you." Anthony said.

"That's because Scarecrow Wuga restrains me. This bundle of dead straw is the most restraining to spirits. I am afraid when I see it. By the way, how is it so obedient to you? It can't communicate at ordinary times. It can

Anthony turned his head to glance at Scarecrow Wuga, the little angel, the little zombie, and the big cat playing together, and spread his hands; he also didn't know how these guys managed to play together, and even though the "words" they spoke were all different, they could still understand each other's meaning—it was truly strange.

But this was fine too; the little zombie and little angel could communicate, and they could communicate with Scarecrow Wuga, which meant they could communicate with Scarecrow Wuga. Anthony said: "Little angel, let Scarecrow Wuga release all those skeletal knights."

"Awoo!" The little angel let out a roar, and Scarecrow Wuga released those skeletal knights who were trapped in the true illusion and had already started farming.

"Kent, these three guys did quite a few things behind your back; you had better clean them up, lest they ruin your reputation." Negris recounted the incident where the first three skeletal knights forcibly robbed their goods.

Kent was stunned for a moment, then said with some embarrassment: "Uh, this... that... can't I rob them? They're just a few profiteers, robbing them is just... oh oh, aha, you actually dared to ruin my reputation!"

He turned around and slapped those three skeletal knights onto the ground, then gave them a beating: "Let you ruin my reputation, let you rob others' things indiscriminately, let you bully people."

Anthony and Negris rolled their eyes in annoyance, but they weren't particularly surprised; in fact, this was reality.

An existence like Ang who was accustomed to equivalent exchange was actually very rare, which led to his subjects also following equivalent exchange, but in reality, seizing by force, cheating, swindling, and sucking the marrow from bones were the mainstream.

Landlords and nobles didn't treat commoners as their own kind, but as slaves, servants, and objects; there was no need to even mention merchants—a merchant with force who could protect himself was a merchant, while a merchant without force was just a pile of walking goods when walking on the road.

Why was the traveling merchant of the mobile station a death mage? Wasn't it just for fear of being robbed?

Therefore, Kent didn't feel there was any problem with his skeletal knights robbing traveling merchants, just as ordinary people wouldn't feel it was a big deal for their companions to pluck sheep's wool.

However, it was only when Anthony rolled his eyes at him that he remembered these skeletal knights had lied to him about there being a spy, which was why he had chased after them, and then he was knocked unconscious the moment they met; robbing things didn't matter, but lying to him was the real big problem.

He gave the three skeletal knights a beating, stripped off their bone armor, confiscated their bone horses, and then drove them to the side.

Kent led the way, bringing everyone back to the venue of the Sacred Fire Festival, and saw from afar: "Eh, why is the Undead Sacred Fire so vigorous?"

Just after saying this, Kent reacted, and turned his head in horror to look at Ang; the God of Undead had arrived, so that was why the Undead Sacred Fire was so vigorous?

This Undead Sacred Fire at the Sacred Fire Festival had been passed down from the main temple of the Undead God and had a history of over nine hundred years; it had never been extinguished.

However, because of the decrease in the number of believers, the intensity of the Undead Sacred Fire had also been getting worse year by year; having no other choice, Kent carried the Undead Sacred Fire and went on tour.

If the believers wouldn't come over, then the Undead Sacred Fire going over would surely work, right?

Every time they arrived at a place, the Undead Sacred Fire would stay for a period of time, coaxing everyone to come and pay respects, and once the soul flames decreased, they would change to another place; in this cycle, the dignified Undead Temple had been reduced to the treatment of a traveling circus.

But there was no way around it; the divine power of the Undead God was not manifest, it couldn't cure illnesses, couldn't satisfy hunger, couldn't bring wealth, and even less could it resurrect people; in most situations, it wasn't as useful as undead magic, so who would believe in it?

Therefore, the Undead Sacred Fire only weakened and rarely had times when it was vigorous; now, however, it was several times more vigorous, and besides the arrival of the Undead God, Kent couldn't think of any other reason.

Ang naturally also knew this was his doing, because from the moment he saw the Undead Sacred Fire, Ang had entered a familiar "environment," and countless voices of prayer rang out in his "ears."

"Please grant me food," "Please let me never die," "Please kill the vixen next door," "Please pray for rain"—a pile of complex prayers made Ang very helpless.

He generally filtered these inexplicable requests.

Along with these prayers, what also entered Ang's soul were the soul beliefs accumulated over thousands of years; following the absorption of these soul beliefs, Ang's soul slowly underwent some magical changes.

"What? You now have two Undead Godheads?" Negris said in a voice of shock.
