In the depths of the Abyss, Daniel had already stored Kalthor’s soul into his inventory space.
Now, it was ti to head toward the Undead Lands.
But beyond that, Daniel had also reaped several unexpected gains.
Kalthor possessed extensive knowledge related to resurrection—so vast, in fact, that his research even surpassed that of the Artists. Whether it was resurrection arrays, resurrection skills, or even the underlying principles behind them, these discoveries were of imnse value not just to Daniel, but to the entire human race.
Without hesitation, Daniel claid all of it for himself.
Among the loot was a particular item:
[Resurrection Stone (Consumable)]
The effect of this item was simple: it could revive one person instantly.
Aside from that, Daniel also collected Kalthor’s physical remains.
After all, a body that once belonged to a Fake God was a highly valuable resource in certain fields.
Take alchemy, for example. It was entirely feasible to modify Kalthor’s corpse into a massive alchemical construct.
However, Daniel hadn’t delved too deeply into the study of alchemy.
It was simply too ti-consuming, and Daniel didn’t have that kind of ti to spare.
Still, across all races, alchemy was universally recognized as a highly valuable area of research.
The gno race had once led the field in alchemical studies, which is how they managed to invent devices like the gno communicator.
But the gno race had since perished, causing a general regression in the field of alchemy.
Fortunately, the material brought back by the Artists filled in much of that lost knowledge.
Nowadays, many powerful warriors and scholars among the human race had imrsed themselves in the pursuit of alchemical knowledge.
Though ti-consuming, alchemy offered extrely generous returns.
To put it plainly: if Kalthor’s corpse were handed over to a true master alchemist, the resulting creation could very well surpass Kalthor’s original power.
Of course, that was only theoretical. In practice, crafting such an alchemical construct would require extensive preparation—and perhaps a bit of luck.
Regardless, these materials were undoubtedly valuable, and that was all that mattered.
With that in mind, Daniel activated Flashback and vanished from his original spot.
Only after he had gone did the Emperor of the Abyss, Malkar, carefully poke his head out from hiding.
The scene before him was beyond comprehension. He never imagined Daniel’s strength had reached such terrifying heights.
Reviving a Fake God just to kill him for materials?
Malkar’s worldview was utterly shattered.
Had the humans truly beco this powerful? Could they really revive a Fake God on a whim and then slaughter it for resources?
At that mont, Emperor Malkar finally understood what the Abyss ant to the human race.
To them, wasn’t the Abyss essentially just a garbage dump?
And once he realized that, Malkar oddly found himself relaxing.
After all, under normal circumstances, who would willingly dive into a trash heap?
That explained why so few humans ever ca to explore the Abyss.
Malkar’s eyes suddenly lit up.
Everything was beginning to make sense now.
Back during the last Millennium Apocalypse, perhaps Kalthor had fled to the Abyss after witnessing the rising might of the humans.
The more Malkar thought about it, the more he felt an imnse reverence for humanity’s growing power.
It was probably for the best to simply stay inside the Abyss from now on—the outside world had beco far too dangerous.
...
After dealing with Kalthor, Daniel’s figure reappeared in the City of Artists.
The mont he arrived, all the gathered powerhouses stood up simultaneously to show their respect.
At that sa ti, the god devotees entered the parliantary hall.
Representatives from every major race were present. In this hall, only the absolute peak forces were qualified to take a seat.
"Well, what a lively gathering."
A lazy voice echoed throughout the hall, drawing everyone’s attention.
It was Charles.
Everyone recognized him—a known devotee of the gods. During the last Millennium Apocalypse, he had even cooperated with them on several occasions.
But once that catastrophe had passed, these enigmatic god devotees vanished without a trace.
It now seed clear they had other tasks to attend to.
And with the latest Apocalypse descending, these mysterious devotees had once again reerged.
"Why are you all attending this eting?" one of the elite warriors questioned, clearly skeptical of the god devotees’ presence.
But the devotees remained calm as they responded.
"We’re here because we were guided by the gods. They told us this eting would be of utmost importance."
"And at this point, there’s no need for us to hide our identities anymore."
After that declaration, all the god devotees turned their eyes toward Daniel.
"Our gods would like to et the one behind you. They’re quite intrigued by this new god who has appeared—after all, it’s been a long ti since a true god erged in this world."
Hearing this, Daniel simply smiled and gave a nod.
"I’ll relay your request to Lord Crossbridge."
Compared to how he usually treated others, Daniel was noticeably more cordial toward these god devotees. After all, they had the gods behind them.
Whereas Daniel—truthfully—had nothing at his back.
A few monts later, Daniel stood in the center of the grand assembly hall.
"Since everyone’s here, let’s skip the small talk and get straight to the point."
The mont he spoke, the entire room fell silent.
Such was Daniel’s command that even the most prideful warlords didn’t dare to interrupt.
Off to the side, the Human Emperor’s lips twitched slightly.
He had never imagined that Daniel’s prestige had already reached such terrifying levels.
And just then, Daniel turned and spoke again:
"Alice, Charlotte—sit beside ."
The two won were stunned for a mont, but then quickly understood what he ant and walked over to take their seats next to him.
Following their lead, the other god devotees also took their seats.
Both Alice and Charlotte felt incredibly self-conscious as they sat beside Daniel.
Even the sovereigns of their respective races had to sit much farther back.
Yet now, because of Daniel, they occupied seats that didn’t belong to them by right.
From their positions in the hall, the elven queen and the blood clan empress noticed Alice and Charlotte’s new placents and exchanged a aningful glance.
Perhaps... the ti had co for the elves and blood clan to rise once more.
