White Death's Office.
Lin Nai opened his eyes and slowly exhaled. Sure enough, he could now freely open this door in his consciousness.
"Oh~~~ My esteemed Lord White Death, you've returned~~ What a delightful surprise! This time you've returned home two hundred thousand years and three hundred and twenty-five days earlier than last time. On behalf of the Sea of the Dead, I welcome your return..."
The AI skull on the wall, Mozi, spoke in a high-pitched, aria-like tone.
Linnaeus ignored it and went straight to the large black bookshelf in the office. He took down a book from it, which was the "List of Prisoners in the Undead Prison".
He found the page about the monster's ten souls.
[Name]: Ten Souls.
[Race]: God.
[Position]: Seventh Generation Sword God (Traitor God).
[Duration of imprisonment]: 300,000 years.
[Undead Status]: Escaped from prison, whereabouts unknown.
[Reason for imprisonment]: He made a deal with the devil and was convicted of betraying God. He was later ordered to be tried by the sixth generation God King, the Black Lord.
(White Death's note: The one who was framed)
Lin Nai seemed thoughtful: "Framed?... "
I flipped through the other pages of the roster.
Basically, apart from those gods who died for various reasons, other gods who are defined as rebels are usually marked with a "White Death God" at the end – meaning they were falsely accused.
This is interesting...
Lin Nai recalled the look in the eyes of the monster Shi Hun when he saw him before. It was full of resentment and anger. If his imprisonment in the Sea of the Dead was entirely due to the deliberate injustice by the God Realm, then it would be understandable.
The skull sighed wistfully, "My lord, you are so cold-hearted."
Linnaeus: "..."
He turned away speechlessly. The skull-headed man said quietly, "Sir, I feel your personality has changed so much. You weren't this sullen before. Is something on your mind?"
Before Linnai could answer, the skull spoke to itself: "Oh...that's true. After all, the civilization of the gods has perished. Even someone as optimistic as you must find it hard to bear such a blow..."
Lin Nai thought to herself, this AI secretary of the White Death God is a bit outrageous.
"Mozi".
"I'm here~"
"...I ask you, what exactly did Sword God Ten Souls do wrong back then?" Lin Nai asked, holding the "List of Prisoners of the Undead Prison," "Why was He judged by the God King?"
The skull paused for a moment, then said, "Well... I only need to tell you one thing, and I think you'll understand."
"What?"
"The father of Sword God Ten Souls was the former God King, namely the fifth God King, Grang."
"..." Lin Nai opened her mouth slightly, then closed it again: "I understand..."
Unexpectedly, even a civilization of gods has such power struggles and intrigues?
“It seems your memory loss is indeed quite severe,” Merz said.
“Well, I can remember very little now.” Linna paused, “including my divine power, which is far less than it used to be.”
Let's make up an excuse now.
His current strength is probably less than 0.0001% of that of a true White Reaper.
This AI might seem a bit flashy, but it could actually be incredibly intelligent.
If it discovers that I'm not the real White Reaper Carlos, but a human imposter, there could be some trouble...
“This is normal,” Mozi said. “Your Sea of the Dead originally housed tens of trillions of demonic and divine undead creatures, but now only a little over ten thousand remain. Your divine power must have greatly diminished…”
Linna raised an eyebrow: "My divine power is related to the number of undead in the Sea of the Dead?"
“Of course,” Moz said. “Every soul imprisoned in the Sea of the Dead can enhance your strength. Some of the undead who have made a pact with you will also be at your command and help you fight.”
Linnaeus stroked his chin thoughtfully: "What if they are the spirits of gods? Could I command them too?"
Merz: "Of course, as long as they are willing to sign a contract with you and sell their souls to you."
Lin Nai lowered her head in thought: "Hmm..."
Moz: "However, generally speaking, gods are proud. They would rather be imprisoned in the Sea of the Dead forever and suffer the most painful torment than sell their souls."
Lin Nai narrowed her eyes: "I understand..."
......
Linnaeus left the office and went to the Sea of the Dead.
The sea remained as gray and still as ever, eerily quiet and deathly still.
From afar, the mournful cry of a dead soul could be heard from time to time, painful and violent.
Linnaeus came to a reef in the sea.
On the reef, the soul of a terrifying and ferocious monster is firmly bound by black iron chains!
When the undead of the monster saw Linna, it shrank back in terror, making a "woo-woo-woo" sound in its throat, but its body was tightly bound by the Soul Chains and it could not move at all.
Linnaeus picked up the prisoner roster and flipped through it.
【Name】: Shadow Wolf.
[Race]: Demon.
[Classification]: Ferocious beast.
[Level]: Evil and heretical.
[Undead Status]: Imprisoned.
This wolf-shaped undead monster was one of the undead monsters that escaped from the No. 2 spatial gate in Ye City on the day of its awakening.
This monster used to be a prisoner of the Sea of the Dead, but it escaped after the destruction of the Gods' civilization and was only captured by Linna a couple of days ago.
Lin Nai narrowed her eyes.
Merz had just told him that he had two options regarding the souls imprisoned in the Sea of the Dead.
One option is to form a contract with it, making it a contracted creature that can fight for you.
Secondly, its soul can be directly extinguished, allowing it to merge into a drop of "seawater" in the sea of the dead, thereby enhancing the power of the White Death.
Linnaeus raised the White Reaper's Scythe he had taken from his office.
"Woo woo woo..." The Shadow Wolf let out a fearful sound, its body trembling as if begging for mercy.
"Although it is a weak monster of the lowest level, I do need some help right now."
Lin Nai coldly looked at the Shadow Wolf and said, "I will now give you two choices: one is to sink into this Sea of the Dead, and the other is to submit to me, sign a contract with me, serve me for a period of time, and then I will help your soul reincarnate."
The Shadow Wolf's eyes lit up, and it didn't hesitate at all.
Only a fool would choose "one"!
"very good."
As Linnai spoke, he reached out and gently touched the head of the Shadow Wolf with one finger, slowly channeling his divine power.
The hazy light and shadow enveloped it.
Soon, a white death mark appeared on the Shadow Wolf's forehead...
