Godly Revival System: I Buy My Killer's Stats Chapter 423: Unexpected Offer

"T-this...will it work?"

Hearing Ethan’s plan, General Tiger could not help but ask because he didn’t feel it was possible.

"Even if the plan fails, there is nothing we lose, and the Senior will still receive the rewards he is entitled to receive."

"Fine."

Although these Skeletal Beings awakened sentience, their intelligence was not great. Thus, Ethan easily convinced General Tiger and made him a part of his plan.

"Let’s go and et the Great Undead General."

Soon, General Tiger brought Dark Overlord to the Leader of the [City of Bones].

The Great Undead General sat upon a throne made of bone and shadow, half-buried in the jagged cliffs of a bone fortress. His figure was imnse, close to four ters tall.

Every movent of his skeletal body released a low grinding sound, like ancient chains scraping against stone.

Wreathed in a cloak of soul wisps and bound in obsidian armour engraved with ancient Undead Runes, he exuded overwhelming pressure.

Two soul lanterns burned within his eye sockets, calmly observing Ethan from head to toe.

"You have done well, General Tiger," the Great Undead General finally spoke, his voice echoing like an ancient war drum. "A Special Abyssal Son... this one’s potential is... considerable."

With a wave of his bony hand, a jet-black box floated out from the void and landed in front of General Tiger.

"T-this...Thank you, Great General."

General Tiger was happy to see the items inside the box and thanked the Great Undead General because inside lay 200 Soul Cores.

Previously, he had saved for a couple of centuries to save that, and now, he was receiving the sa amount just for finding one Abyssal Son.

"These are your initial rewards. The remaining... will be bestowed once the Corpse Emperor sees this one for himself," the Great General declared, leaning back into his throne with a satisfied nod.

"What is your na?"

Next, the Great General looked at Ethan and asked for his na.

"It’s Dark Overlord, Great General."

Ethan respectfully replied, and he even bowed, making the Great General fully satisfied.

"Not bad...not bad. Here, take these 200 Soul Cores as our eting gift."

To Ethan’s surprise, the Great General gave a eting gift to Ethan, which Ethan took without any hesitation.

’Senior Tiger.’

At the sa ti, Ethan silently signalled General Tiger to go with the plan.

"..."

However, General Tiger remained silent for a few monts, making Ethan frown.

Before he could react, he saw General Tiger speak, "Great General, can I borrow 600 Soul Cores from you?"

But, after seeing that the General Tiger was going along with the help, Ethan heaved a sigh of relief.

’He could have asked for only 400 Soul Cores. But...forget it.’

According to his plan, Ethan was not expecting that the Great Undead General would give him 200 Soul Cores.

Adding these 200 Soul Cores, he only required 400 more for his breakthrough.

But, he prepared General Tiger to ask for 600, and he was blindly following the script.

"500 Soul Cores? Why?"

The Great Undead General looked at General Tiger and asked in a calm tone.

"I am on the verge of breaking through to the Level 4 Nether Soul Realm. So...."

"Get out now."

Before he could finish his words, a powerful force blasted General Tiger out of the Bone Fortress.

"Even before having enough strength, you know how to manipulate those stronger than you."

The Great Undead General’s empty gaze turned toward Ethan, the twin soul lanterns in his eye sockets flickering silently.

A heavy pressure bore down on him, yet Ethan didn’t flinch.

’Damn it... I can’t even see what kind of expression he has.’

However, Ethan’s mind raced, his instincts screaming that the plan had gone awry.

’Was I... seen through?’

Before he could think further, the silence was broken.

"We Skeletal Beings are not intelligent and always lack in using others to our plans when compared to the other two Undead Races under the Corpse Emperor."

The Great Undead General suddenly spoke in a deep, emotionless voice. "With you, there might be a chance in the future."

’Eh?’

Ethan was montarily stunned, but what ca next left him pleasantly surprised.

"Also, are you sure you can break through to the Nether Soul Realm in a week if you have 1000 Soul Cores?"

’T-this...’

Ethan hesitated for a second.

His first instinct was to be cautious, but then he rembered the opportunity in front of him. If he could grab it now, it would change everything.

’If it goes well, my Undead Avatar can beco a Nether Soul Realm Undead Being and if not, I will at most lose the Undead Avatar.’

From the beginning, Ethan was using the Undead Avatar with an acceptance that he could lose it at any mont.

Thus, after thinking for a brief mont, he took the risk.

"I can actually break through to the Nether Soul Realm right away," Ethan nodded with absolute confidence.

Since his plan was already seen through, Ethan decided to go all out and show his full ability to the Great General.

"What?"

Hearing those words, the Great Undead General’s voice held a rare trace of surprise. "You can instantly break through to the Nether Soul Realm with 1000 Soul Cores?"

"Show ."

In the very next second, 1000 Soul Cores flew out from the Great General’s storage ring and floated mid-air before Ethan like a sea of black crystals radiating sinister soul energy.

The room fell silent for a mont.

"Yes, Great General."

Without wasting any ti, Ethan ordered the system, ’Breakthrough to the Nether Soul Realm.’

’Kacha’

A sharp crack echoed like a shattering bone, subtle yet absolute.

Inside the Undead Avatar’s chest, hidden behind layers of blackened bone and cold, withered flesh, the Death Core trembled.

A web of cracks spread across its surface like veins of death itself unravelling.

In the very next instant, the core shattered into countless fragnts, dissolving into a dense cloud of pure, refined death energy.

The energy didn’t dissipate. Instead, it was drawn inward, compressed, refined, and restructured by an unseen force.

Boom—!

Like a black star being born, the death energy condensed into a new Core, swirling with profound power and inscribed with mysterious Nether runes that shimred faintly with a ghostly blue hue.

This new core was none other than the Soul Core, which signifies that the Undead Avatar has successfully broken through to the Nether Soul Realm.

Of course, the breakthrough was yet to be completed as the entire Undead Avatar trembled as this terrifying transformation was getting completed.

Once it was completed, its aura surged and violently shook the room.

[Congratulations, host. Your Undead Avatar: Dark Overlord has successfully broken through to the Nether Soul Realm]

[It has awakened a new Special Skill]

[It has awakened a new Avatar Skill]

Soon, a series of system notifications appeared in Ethan’s view; however, he didn’t check them; instead, he looked at the Great Undead General.

"...That fast?"

The Great Undead General, who had witnessed countless breakthroughs in his long existence, narrowed his eyes, a rare flicker of astonishnt flashing across his ancient face.

"Dark Overlord, are you willing to beco the First Undead Emperor of the Skeletal Race?"

Suddenly, the Great Undead General asked a question that shocked Ethan, and before he could say anything, the Great General continued, "It is about ti we have our own Undead Emperor."
