"Jiang Yan!"
After a brief silence, a sharp scream echoed across the battlefield.
Arland shouted angrily, "Are you playing me?"
"I'm telling the truth," Jiang Yan said helplessly.
Most of the true gods of the underworld are still slumbering in the Necropolis.
The only two to arrive.
One likes to turn people into skeletons, the other likes to play dead.
It's easier to please this undead emperor than to become their successor.
When he ascends to become a chief god, he will control a total of 400 vacant god positions.
Arranging a position as the sweeper of the underworld would be a piece of cake.
But Arlando clearly didn't think so; he returned to one side of the chessboard with a gloomy expression.
"I will never trust you again, and you will have to pay the price."
As he spoke, he channeled his divine power and activated the rules of the war machine.
At the same time, a notification that others couldn't see appeared in front of Jiang Yan.
[Your Excellency, the current Lord of the Undead, possess the highest authority over this instrument and can modify its rules within a certain scope. Do you wish to make any changes?]
"No."
Thank you for your choice. You can use this permission at any time during the process.
As the sound disappeared, all the warriors who were not demigods were enveloped within the chessboard.
Arland looked somewhat crazed.
The strongest beings in star systems 063 and 066 are currently dead.
Since we cannot obtain the inheritance of the true god of the underworld, we must turn the tide and reclaim first place.
Let everyone know that the inheritors of the so-called God of Fire and God of Space are all useless trash.
He alone is the true hero of Universe Six!
With this in mind, Allando did not hesitate to choose to use his own 7 million members as pawns.
Under the special effects of the war machine's laws, both legendary Cyclops and weak gnolls were uncontrollably thrown towards the center.
The surging, dead river seemed boundless and endless.
A total of 7 million soldiers were involved, yet not a single drop of water was splashed.
The chessboard just started to tilt slightly to the other end.
According to the rules, if the same number of warriors are not deployed within a certain period of time, the Dead River will spread downstream and completely engulf that side.
"So what if you possess the inheritance of a true god from the underworld? All the corpses have already been resurrected. You only have 7 million people, while I have a full 8 million. You're doomed!"
Arland looked at Jiang Yan and sneered:
"This is the price you pay for deceiving me!"
Jiang Yan glanced casually at the center of the chessboard.
The slowly tilting dead river suddenly stopped, and the deathly aura spreading on the outer layer hurriedly rolled itself up and flowed upstream towards the center.
"Let me clarify, firstly, I am telling the truth."
"Secondly, since you have such a deep understanding of the undead, don't you know that quantity is the most meaningless thing in the undead world?"
As he spoke, Jiang Yan smiled faintly, and the top of the Heavenly Calamity in his hand glowed slightly.
Professional Skill: Resurrection of the Dead!
"For the Emperor!"
With a roar, the nearly 4 million souls who had perished in the previous war reappeared as if time and space had been reshaped.
They were exactly the same as before, not even changing their orientation, as if they had never died.
"Now it's 11 million versus 8 million."
With a gentle wave of his hand, Jiang Yan sent 8 million souls into the River of Death.
The chessboard seemed to have taken a stimulant, tilting towards the allied forces of the three star regions at a visible speed.
"This...this is impossible! How can a spirit that has died once be resurrected? That's not what the book says!"
Arlando muttered in a daze until the deathly aura almost reached him before he came to his senses.
"Wait, why so fast? I choose to cancel the use of the equipment, cancel it!"
"Control has been transferred; cancellation has failed."
A chilling voice rang out, and the waters of the Dead River overflowed, engulfing the remaining forces across the three star regions.
After completing its task, the chessboard returned to its original state, and it flew to Jiang Yan's side in a flash, rubbing against him obsequiously.
Only Allando remained, staring wide-eyed.
"Hahahaha...!"
Suddenly he burst into wild laughter.
The treasures are all used up.
His reputation is ruined.
The lower-ranking deity I painstakingly nurtured has died.
The secret of the undead ruins has been stolen.
Now, even the chessboard that we finally managed to acquire has run away with someone else.
He even acted like a sycophant.
"Has your Dao heart shattered?"
Looking at the madman Allando, Jiang Yan still chose the safest approach.
He raised the Staff of Calamity.
Instant death lock.
Invisible, fine threads of law stretched out, draining away all life.
He died.
With this, thanks to the opponent's assistance, all 2999 lords across the three star regions were eliminated, finally bringing the war to a close...
Bang!
A loud bang came from the sky.
Three high-ranking gods recruited through temporary contracts were shot down from their separate space and crashed heavily into the ground.
After Sheena and Floria joined the fray, the group, which had initially held the advantage, was instantly routed and forced to flee in terror.
The weakening effect of the Etiquette Laws was already abnormal enough, but when combined with Sheena's Silence Domain, the battle became a one-sided beating.
Whoosh whoosh.
Several whooshing sounds rang out as six powerful deities, including Annalia who had recovered her divine power, surrounded the three high-ranking gods.
"Wait, wait!"
The Titan King, covered in wounds, struggled to say, "We were only summoned temporarily. Now that the summoners are dead, there is no need for us to continue fighting."
“Yes, esteemed powerful beings, we are merely passing by.” The Flame Apostle and the Void Fish also managed to force a friendly smile.
Jiang Yan's eyes lit up; he had almost forgotten about these people.
“Being summoned is no excuse. You tied up three of my main combat forces, causing at least a million more of my men to die.”
Jiang Yan said calmly.
"this..."
The three high-ranking gods exchanged a glance and said with a wry smile, "So what do you want?"
"It's very simple. Since I lost a million men because of you, you can replace them and serve me."
Jiang Yan smiled slightly and said, "It's very fair, isn't it?"
"That's impossible!"
The Titan King, barely suppressing his anger, said, "Respected strongman, we have always been solitary and are not used to being bound. You can change your terms."
"yes."
The Flame Apostle also spoke up, "Moreover, according to the contract, in 12 hours, we will each return to our original worlds and will be unable to serve you."
"If you're willing, we can give you some precious treasures as compensation when we get back."
Jiang Yan took a few steps back and shook his head.
“You may have misunderstood something. I am not discussing this with you, but rather informing you.”
"As for the issue of returning in twelve hours, I have a solution that satisfies both sides."
Jiang Yan smiled slightly and said, "As long as you become an undead, you can stay and serve me."
"Let's get started! Bring our new companions home."
