"So it was you!"
Jiang Yan finally recognized him.
One of the eight people standing behind him in "Divine Art: Future" is the supreme powerhouse of the underworld, the Grim Reaper!
"It is I, Your Majesty." Death said with a smile, "The will of this era is truly formidable. If I hadn't escaped by playing dead on a small skeleton, I wouldn't be able to get out."
"Don't be nervous, you two little girls from heaven over there. I'm not much stronger than you right now."
"How could you possibly come out now? Even Her Majesty Tinas couldn't..." Analia looked at the other person in disbelief.
"Sigh, I shouldn't have rushed out. If it had been the number one guy who descended, I might have been able to exchange a few blows with him," Floria said dejectedly.
Only the highest can contend with the highest. The strongest being in the Netherworld has arrived before the archangels of Heaven. There could be no worse news.
"Because I can play dead, what use is light strength?" Death said with considerable pride. "When it comes to the ability to play dead, I am second to none in all the heavens and myriad realms. It's just a pity that my Wangcai couldn't learn it."
"Excuse me, Your Majesty Death, are you referring to Lord Dark Prison Dragon as Wangcai?" Sheena suddenly asked.
"Hey, do you recognize it? But I still think the name Wangcai sounds more auspicious."
Sheena's smile froze. Damn it, this naming ability is a disgrace to the underworld.
"Alright, Death, we can't bully them, understand?" Jiang Yan said calmly, holding the Cataclysm in his hand.
He hadn't expected to summon one of the strongest beings in the underworld, instantly reversing the balance of power between Heaven and the undead.
"Of course, Your Majesty, your will is above all else."
Death's expression suddenly turned serious as he explained, "Strictly speaking, we and Heaven are actually allies. In the ancient past, only the Holy Light pantheon and our Netherworld fought against the Abyss to the very end. All the others were..."
Boom!
Suddenly, a thunderclap flashed across the sky, an abyss-like pressure descended, and an indifferent gaze traversed endless planes.
"Oh no."
Death's expression changed, the flames in his eyes went out instantly, and then with a "crack," his skeleton scattered all over the ground, lifeless.
The black scythe quickly sliced several holes in the cloak before sinking into the soil and breaking in two.
His indifferent gaze swept back and forth several times, slowly fading away as he gained nothing.
A few minutes later, the scattered bones automatically pieced themselves back together, restoring them to their original state.
Sure enough... they're very skilled.
The group watched this scene with strange expressions. The supreme god, who was good at playing dead, felt that his prestige had been completely shattered.
"Your Majesty, please forgive me. I was careless for a moment," the recovered Death God apologized immediately.
"It's alright."
Jiang Yan shook his head. He had experienced this scene once before. It seemed that there were some things that the will of the various realms and the era did not want him to know.
With a thought, the information about the Grim Reaper appeared in his mind.
【grim Reaper】
Rank: Unique.
Divine position: Death God.
Level: Demigod, 10th Rank - Unknown.
Faith Level: Diehard.
Master the Law: The Supreme Law of Death.
Strengths: Feigning death, customizing death, the Grim Reaper's favor, necromancy... (172 items in total)
Overall score: 4.99 million.
Good heavens!
That's what you call "not much better than you guys"!
Jiang Yan couldn't help but chuckle; this was almost ten times stronger.
"I'm afraid I'll have to disappoint you, Your Majesty."
As if guessing Jiang Yan's thoughts, Death said somewhat embarrassedly, "I was able to descend by pretending to be dead and deceiving the will of the era. If I use my abilities carelessly, I will be easily discovered."
"Don't tell me you can't make a move?" Jiang Yan's smile vanished instantly.
"That's not entirely true. Occasionally, after using your abilities, you can feign death to fool others, but you can't do it too often. Although the Epoch Will is mindless, it will get angry if it's fooled too many times and will directly cause area destruction," the God of Death explained.
"In layman's terms, it's impotent rage."
"Not too many" means how many times?
"Ahem, for now it's 2... no, 3 times." Seeing Jiang Yan's darkening expression, Death quickly changed his tune.
"Understood."
Jiang Yan nodded. He was powerful, but he couldn't act rashly. He knew a lot, but he couldn't reveal it casually.
Doesn't this just mean we have an extra old man?
Considering the archangel phantom that was once summoned, which killed the abyss demigod with a single glance at the tenth rank of gold, it seems that the death god of the same rank, with the body of a demigod, could easily kill a mid-level god.
Doesn't that mean we can relax and have fun without worry?
Even later, when we have occupied more areas, we can launch a destructive challenge on all the abyss passages at once, then lure the descending demons together and eliminate them all.
In this way, we can expand without any worries.
Jiang Yan quickly calculated the best way to maximize his profits.
However, how to arrange his daily life is a problem.
It feels a bit strange to have him by my side.
Who would like to have a Grim Reaper with a scythe following them around all day?
Let him go to the front lines; it would be such a waste if he couldn't resist taking action.
"Your Majesty, don't worry about me," Death said with a smile. "Wherever there is death, I can arrive instantly. As for other things..."
He gripped his scythe and dug a pit in the area with the most skeletons in the undead realm, then buried himself in it.
"Experiencing death more deeply is what Death should be doing."
A dull sound came from beneath the soil.
Jiang Yan was speechless; dealing with this kind of old guy was indeed quite effortless.
He turned around and found Annalia and Floria looking worried and hesitant to speak.
He then laughed and said, "Why don't you try activating the Gates of Heaven again and summoning an archangel down?"
"Ah, is that alright, Holy Lord!" The two looked over in surprise, as this was indeed what they had in mind.
After all, the strongest being in the underworld has appeared, and without an archangel in charge, I always feel uneasy.
"Of course, but we have to be careful not to attract the attention of the Epoch Will again, otherwise I reckon we'll become its main target."
Jiang Yan joked.
"Don't worry, Holy Lord! We'll head over now." Upon hearing this, the two six-winged angels eagerly flew out of the city.
"This is the first time I've seen them in such a hurry." Jiang Yan shook his head with a smile, but it wasn't necessarily a bad thing.
What if those people in Heaven get anxious and come up with a way to come down? Wouldn't that be like having two old men?
"Your Majesty, you really spoil them." At this moment, Xina said with a hint of resentment.
“If it were you, I would have done the same,” Jiang Yan said with a clear gaze and a gentle smile.
"Um..."
Sheena paused for a moment, then lowered her head and chuckled, "I won't be like those two little girls who only run to their parents when they encounter trouble. I will only help the Emperor conquer more territory."
