Above the royal capital, a huge black-red shadow with eight heads and eight tails covered a large area of ​​the sky. Eight scarlet beams of light swept across the earth, crushing the buildings, land and maids standing on the ground below into ashes.

The protagonist Ainz, who possesses a set of artifact-level equipment and countless krypton gold items, is the only one who holds on to the end.

As Ainz noticed that the battle maids around him were dying one after another, a raging rage burned in his heart, and the green light of [Forced Calm] continued to glow on the skeleton body covered by the artifact-level magic robe.

This shows how angry Ainz is inside.

But no matter what, as a magic profession specialized in necromancy, Ainz really couldn't withstand the ultimate move released by Deng Yougang at the beginning without any advance preparation.

After a brief moment of thought, Ainz made a decisive decision.

"Since this time it is irreversible, then..."

A faint light shone from the eye sockets of Ainz’s skull face, and he said without hesitation: “Death is the end of all life!”

As soon as these words were spoken, the exclusive skill [Eclipse] of the highest-level special profession [Ruler of Death] was instantly activated.

This is a special skill that can only be learned when the [Ruler of Death] reaches the highest level, and it can only be released once every hundred hours.

Its effect is to strengthen the instant death effect of the next magic and special skill. After the instant death effect is strengthened by this skill, even if the opponent has complete resistance to instant death, he will die immediately after 12 seconds.

According to the background setting, this effect can kill even inanimate objects!

Because of this, after chanting this spell, Ainz raised his head under the bombardment of the scarlet energy beam, looked across a distance of hundreds of meters, and stared coldly at the two-hundred-meter-long black and red shadow of the Yamata no Orochi in the sky.

"I'll remember you...I hope to see you again!"

Before he could finish his words, Ainz was instantly engulfed by a scarlet beam of energy.

But just before his body was about to be annihilated, a ring worn on the skeletal hand suddenly lit up with blue light, and then, as if all the stored energy had been used up, it instantly shattered into scattered points of light.

There is no doubt that this ring is one of the life-saving items that Ainz carries with him, the super rare krypton gold item [Resurrection Ring]!

In the game, this ring allows players to revive at the guild base with full health with almost no experience loss, and when dropping items upon death, low-value items will be dropped first.

After traveling to another world, Ainz is not sure whether players like himself can be resurrected like in the game.

However, out of consideration for his own safety, he still wears the resurrection ring at all times to avoid some irreparable major crisis in the future.

Clearly, this is one of the worst of all major crises!

Therefore, Ainz decided to gamble his own life and die once in this different world.

At the same time, Ainz's strongest attack will be released after his death!

In an instant, the red gem located in the abdomen of Ainz's skeleton glowed brightly.

Invisible ripples containing the power of instant death instantly burst out, rapidly spreading in all directions...

If it were any other opponent, they would have been ambushed by Ainz's posthumous sneak attack, but Deng Yougang was obviously an exception. He had already read the original story of this world and was quite familiar with the information about Ainz the Bone King.

Therefore, after noticing that Ainz's breath had disappeared, he emerged from the black and red shadow without hesitation, took away the transformed spirit of the Yamata no Orochi, and then instantly appeared in front of Bai Lang.

"Brother Bai, it's now!"

"Okay!"

When Bai Lang heard the secret signal they had agreed upon before, he immediately raised the silver crystal ball in his hand, and the nuclear energy in his body poured into it like crazy, releasing the power of space at maximum power.

In just a moment, the entire capital was swept by the power of space.

All the lives existing in the royal capital, except Bailang who was holding the silver crystal ball, and Lu Bu who was still fighting with Demiurge in the barrier, were collected by Bailang into the crystal ball.

At the same time, invisible ripples containing an enhanced version of the power of instant death swept across Bai Lang's body.

Bai Lang held the crystal ball and looked at the unharmed body in surprise, as if he didn't understand what danger this thing could bring.

Until 12 seconds later, his body suddenly froze and his eyes dimmed.

But it was only for a moment, and Bai Lang's eyes lit up again, and he looked at himself with a little surprise.

"What did that feel like?"

“…How strange!”

"It's death." Deng Yougang's voice suddenly came from the crystal ball.

The next second, the crystal ball burst into silver light, releasing Deng Yougang who was hiding inside.

This crystal ball is a prop distributed by the war command and is considered a shared property between him and Bai Lang.

The two have equal authority, so Deng Yougang can also control it.

After flying out of the void cage, Deng Yougang had a strange expression on his face and looked at Bai Lang as if he was looking at a monster.

"Although I knew you had confidence, I didn't expect you to be able to pull through!"

Bai Lang asked in surprise: "What are you carrying?"

Deng Yougang was slightly startled, then his eyes widened and he said in disbelief: "Brother, you didn't listen to a word of the information I shared with you before?!"

“…”

Bai Lang scratched his face awkwardly, and said with a wandering look: "Um...which time?"

Deng Yougang: “…”

After a long silence, Deng Yougang sighed and said weakly, "Before the mission began, I told you that Ainz might show up. I also told you that if he used a large-scale instant death spell, I would ask you to put me and everyone in the capital into the Void Cage..."

Bai Lang stared at him blankly, then belatedly realized and exclaimed: "Instant... Instant death magic?!"

Deng Yougang looked at Bai Lang in silence. At that time, this guy patted his chest and promised him that he would complete the task. He thought that Bai Lang was very dismissive of instant death magic. It turned out that he didn't hear him clearly at all!

Bai Lang couldn't help but complain: "Such important information, why don't you say it a few more times?"

...So it’s my fault!

Deng Yougang twitched his lips, and then asked curiously: "By the way, brother, can you tell me how you felt just now?"

"Feeling?" Bai Lang thought for a moment, then shook his head and said, "It's hard to describe. To put it in abstract terms, it's probably that the fire of my life was extinguished for a moment, and the world before my eyes changed from its original vividness to a layer of indescribable gray filter..."

At this point, Bai Lang laughed loudly and said complacently: "But you also know that I am the ancestor of lighting fires. If he puts out the fire, I can just light it again!"

“…Is this possible?”

Deng Yougang looked at Bai Lang with a twitching mouth.

Bai Lang smiled and said, "Of course the specific situation is not that simple. Let me think about how to explain it... Got it! You've played the game before, right? The instant death force just now was like changing my health bar to zero instantly, and then locking it, while prohibiting all means of restoring health."

“But I still have the magical power [Indestructible Core Body]. Ainz’s instant death magic cannot completely prevent me from using [Indestructible Core Body] to recover my health. It can only significantly reduce the effect of the recovery.”

"But this is of no use to me. It just consumes a little more energy!"

Deng Yougang had long been immune to Bai Lang's Versailles, and immediately shook his head and said, "Correction, this is not instant death magic, but the effect of the world-class item [Flying Squirrel Jade] that Ainz possesses."

Bai Lang was surprised and asked, "Flying Squirrel Jade?"

Deng Yougang nodded and said, "Yes, this is a world-class item that Ainz named after the game's name 'Flying Squirrel'. It is also the only world-class item that cannot be lost once it is bound to the holder."

"It can consume 5 levels of experience points to cause massive damage to enemies, especially dragons. It can also force the death of enemies within a certain range around the holder after the holder dies, causing them to perish together with the holder."

"In the original game, a large part of the player guild that attacked Nazarick was killed by this effect."

Bai Lang said thoughtfully: "So, the power of instant death that I felt is this thing..."

Deng Yougang nodded, and then asked curiously: "By the way, how much energy did you consume to invalidate this instant death effect?"

Bai Lang said excitedly: "Let me see... Wow, this is incredible, no wonder this is a high-energy world, a mere instant death magic can actually consume one hundred thousandth of the energy in my body!"

Bai Lang had a look of surprise on his face.

Deng Yougang next to him didn't think this was Versailles, but frowned tightly instead.

"One in a hundred thousand? How can it be so many?!"

Bai Lang frowned and said, "It should be because of the great consumption after the effect was reduced, and my own body is too large. It is far from being as simple as an ordinary life to rekindle the fire of life..."

"Gangzi, luckily you were cautious enough. If you hadn't hidden in the Void Cage in advance, you might have really died because of this."

Deng Yougang nodded solemnly, agreeing with Bai Lang's judgment.

He knew that Bai Lang, as the second strongest man in the alliance, had surpassed the ordinary star-blasting level. Even if he did not use his magical powers, simply releasing all the energy stored in his body would be enough to destroy several planets the size of Saturn.

Saturn is the second largest planet in the solar system, with a volume 745 times that of the Earth.

If it is the moon, the ratio will be even more exaggerated, about 5960 times!

In other words, if only one ten-thousandth of the energy stored in Bai Lang's body is released, it can easily destroy a planet as big as the moon.

Although one hundred thousandth is only one tenth of the former, it can also destroy the world if it happens on Earth!

Deng Yougang thought that he was not even one hundred thousandth of Bai Lang's ability. If he really faced this force of death, the result would probably not be very good...
