Chapter 551: Chapter 341: Kill and Counterkill!_3
“`
“——The soul body just now was called the World Destructor’s Incarnation.”
Shen Ye’s heart skipped a beat.
So it was that!
Annie had ntioned before—
“The fate of this world is not controlled by so artificial intelligence, but by a creature known as the ‘World Destructor’s Incarnation.'”
...
The world where Charlotte grew up was under the control of such a thing.
It was indeed this thing!
No wonder it knew Sophie!
It was probing him, constantly confirming his identity, perhaps trying to seize him, control him—
And in doing so, threaten Charlotte?
“Can you kill it?” Shen Ye asked.
The faint glow of small letters erged again:
“Anything that reaches Immortal Country without its protection will disintegrate completely, leaving not even a residue behind.”
“Please believe this.”
Good.
Shen Ye felt relieved, withdrew his attention, and tried his best not to show any signs of distress.
The others were still watching Joseph’s corpse.
A Great Knight took the initiative to check the body.
“The body is completely dessicated, like chunks of hard, dry fragnts, with no possibility of revival,” he announced loudly.
At that, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
The incident just now was too bizarre, and all sensed a hidden, unsettling undertone.
Yudelia suggested, “I think we should set off imdiately, cross the Cold Stone River, and reach Rotenburg!”
“Let’s go!” Shen Ye said.
Everyone sheathed their weapons, got back on their horses, and galloped towards the direction of the Cold Stone River.
Not long after they left,
The Great Skeleton quietly appeared, squatting on the ground to inspect the body.
“Tch, I’d like to revive you as one of the Undead under my command… but he would surely question you for information first,” it mumbled as it collected the body, and then vanished from sight.
A few hours later.
The group stopped by the Cold Stone River, taking a brief respite.
This river was famous, producing stones with temperatures close to frost, which was the source of its renown.
“Lady Yudelia,”
Shen Ye spoke up.
“What is it?” Yudelia asked.
“Joseph was a man of Viscount Weiss. In your opinion, was this his own doing, or did Weiss order this pursuit?” Shen Ye inquired.
“It would be better if this were a personal action; otherwise, the empire is in trouble,” Yudelia said.
“Is Viscount Weiss very powerful?” Shen Ye asked.
“That’s not the issue. It’s just that it’s been a long ti since a Lord has rebelled, and with the movents of the Undead so close at hand, it’s quite worriso,” Yudelia sighed.
Shen Ye glanced at the Dharma Aspect.
He saw the Great Skeleton had already brought Joseph’s body back to the Dharma Aspect and laid it on the ground, waiting for him to question it.
Shen Ye took a sip of water and using his spiritual power, activated “Whispers of the Dark” to question the corpse:
“How did you get involved with the World Destructor’s Incarnation?”
“`
A shock resonated.
The entire corpse exploded into a skyward spray of blood mist, which gradually dispersed with the wind.
The Great Skeleton was drenched in blood and let out a strange cry,
“Dammit! His corpse was cursed; it couldn’t reveal anything at all!”
“Not even through Whispers of the Dark?” Shen Ye asked.
“It is recorded in the Book of the Undead that if the level of Whispers of the Dark is high enough, it can ignore such curses,” the Great Skeleton said.
Shen Ye then understood.
He needed to further enhance the level of his Whispers of the Dark.
He couldn’t help but sigh.
In fact, he urgently needed to improve in every aspect.
The enemy was too terrifying.
“Lady Yudelia, I have an idea,” Shen Ye said.
“Speak.”
“From now on, we should take separate paths and head toward Rotenburg separately.”
“Nonsense! What about your safety?” Yudelia frowned and said.
“I’ll be fine,” Shen Ye waved his hand and said soothingly, “I have a way to contact the Great Tomb, which allows to evade so external dangers, but it’s limited to myself only.”
“When did you gain this ability?” Yudelia asked.
“I’ve just established a connection with the Great Tomb—look at these outsiders I’ve chosen. Despite their youth, they too have obtained a connection with the Great Tomb,” Shen Ye explained.
Yudelia, skeptical, looked toward Xiao ngyu and the others.
Xiao ngyu, Nangong, and Yun Ye nodded in unison.
Yudelia, being a great mage who could detect lies, cald down when she saw that this was indeed the truth.
“Peiqi, this is really one of the few pieces of good news lately; the emperor will certainly be pleased,” Yudelia said happily.
“Norton—no, Your Majesty also wishes to go to the Great Tomb?” Shen Ye asked.
“We all want to understand the true origins of our world,” Yudelia said.
“All right, once I get to the imperial capital, I will definitely discuss this thoroughly with His Majesty.”
“In that case, I’ll make my way to Rotenburg openly, and you all be careful. I’ll wait for you in the castle,” Yudelia said.
“Two Great Knights will accompany you,” Shen Ye said.
“Fine.”
Yudelia, along with the two Great Knights, mounted their horses, discerned the direction, and then rode along the river upstream.
Shen Ye and the other three remained at the site.
“It’s really strange, I don’t know why the Great Tomb chose us, but I have indeed established a connection with it,” Shen Ye deliberately said.
“ too,” Xiao ngyu said.
“This is just fantastic!” Guo Yunye exclaid excitedly.
“The Great Tomb has tasked to dig soil from outside the Death Planet and transport it into the Tomb. Only then will they convert my profession to that of the Great Tomb Immortal State. What about you?” Nangong Sirui asked.
“My task is to collect ice crystals from across the universe,” Xiao ngyu said.
“Seems that mine is simpler—I need to collect various kinds of knowledge,” Guo Yunye said.
The three of them looked at Shen Ye.
And you?
With a slight sensing, Shen Ye discovered that the Immortal Country invited him to enter its realm.
