#163 - Chapter 163 Liz's Persuasion
“Become your... subordinate?”
Hearing Wu Wei say this, Deru couldn't help but be stunned.
As a true high-level undead, an undead monarch,
who was already close to the level of a demigod, he never thought that one day he would be asked such an absurd request.
You must know that the undead army in the 【Raven's Habitat】 at this time is not all of his army.
As an undead monarch, most of Deru's main force is stored in his own territory along with his main body.
Like Wu Wei, the entire Raven's Habitat world is just a small part of his conquered areas.
But...
“Haha.”
Deru, who already knew that Wu Wei's brain was a bit abnormal, didn't argue anymore, but followed Wu Wei's words and said.
“Okay.”
“If you can really defeat me, defeat all my undead armies... and defeat the Styx forces I am in, maybe I might really submit to you.”
“But...”
Deru stared at Wu Wei's soul, memorizing his special soul aura, and said.
“You need to survive the undead Scourge under my command first!”
“Goodbye, Abyss Lord.”
The moment he finished saying this, under the gaze of Wu Wei and others, the soul fire in Deru's clone directly extinguished.
Then, his clone directly turned into ordinary undead bones and fell heavily to the ground.
But Wu Wei was not surprised, because he knew very well.
As the founder of the 【Soul Sharing Network】, Deru naturally did not fall. He just, like the previous batch of black knights, let his soul return to the network node.
“Lord, I need to explain the situation to you.”
But at this moment, the fallen angel Liz stepped forward and came to Wu Wei's side.
But this beautiful angel did not directly say what she wanted to say, but first looked at the pure child Her who had been guarding Wu Wei's side.
Her meaning was obvious.
Compared to Wu Wei, the lord she had already pledged allegiance to.
She herself, in fact, did not trust the pure child Her.
Even if the two of them were serving Wu Wei at the same time.
“It's okay, if you want to say something, just say it directly.”
Wu Wei said to Liz Olsen, and added.
“In the process of war, no matter who you and I are, the information between each other is all content that should be shared.”
“Because when facing the enemy, concealing from each other is the basis of defeat.”
“So, just say it.”
“As you wish, my lord.”
After hearing Wu Wei say this, the fallen angel Liz Olsen no longer pretended, but revealed all her thoughts.
“Lord, I suggest that we plunder the resources in our controlled area as soon as possible, minimize the losses caused by the war as much as possible, and then...” Liz hesitated.
“Then we should abandon this plane and withdraw our troops!”
“Oh?”
Hearing his subordinate say this, Wu Wei did not show any anger.
Even if Liz Olsen's remarks were actually questioning him, he didn't have any dissatisfaction.
“Tell me your reasons.”
On the contrary, Wu Wei wanted to know what his subordinates had discovered that would make them say this to him.
“Lord, first of all, the undead you just faced is very powerful.”
“Once his most elite undead legions awaken from his death lair, we will not be able to hold on at all.”
“You must know that our abyss seed has not yet hatched, so the time we actually have to hold on will be far more than twenty days.”
“Of course, I still believe that you can solve these problems and bring victory back to the abyss.”
“The biggest reason I want you to withdraw your troops is that I hope you can cut off contact with the undead monarch Deru!”
“Because the undead monarch Deru is embarking on a desperate and crazy path of no return.”
“And if you entangle with him for too long, the despair and madness he is about to obtain will be contagious to you, not to mention that you even had the idea of taking him as a subordinate.”
“A desperate and crazy path of no return...” Wu Wei chewed on this short sentence.
“Stop beating around the bush, tell me, what have you discovered!”
Liz Olsen obviously expected Wu Wei to say this. Accurately speaking, she had been beating around the bush for so long just to guide and make Wu Wei ask this question.
“Lord!”
“The soul of the undead monarch Deru, no, all the souls he controls, are entering an irreversible decay.”
“And this decay is contagious!”
“You may not understand why, but I know very well.”
“Because in the countless forbidden knowledge I have seen, the so-called soul sharing network is not the original creation of the undead monarch Deru.”
“In the distant past, whether it was the undead in the endless abyss or the undead belonging to the Styx, this conjecture called the sharing network has actually been proposed countless times.”
“It's just that they have different names in different eras.”
“Soul Furnace, Armistice Agreement, Gate of Rebirth...” Liz casually said a few.
“These ancient existences once built creations that were far more complete than the soul sharing network, but they all failed without exception.”
“Do you know why?”
“Because the soul cannot bear the price of eternal life?”
Wu Wei said casually.
After all, in his opinion, Deru's approach is actually to allow himself, and the souls he controls, to achieve a certain meaning of eternal life.
“No!”
“That is not eternal life at all!”
“Moreover, somewhat different from your idea, the soul can actually bear the price of eternal life.”
“Otherwise, how were those high and mighty gods born?”
“What really cannot bear the price of eternal life is not Deru's soul, but his Sea of Mind!”
“The Sea of Mind, or the Sea of Souls, is a completely different existence from the soul.”
“As he repeatedly uses his soul to enter different bodies, his Sea of Mind will be polluted bit by bit.”
“These pollutions may be combat memories, emotions, or perceptions of the environment.”
“These pollutions will not be too obvious at first, but as time goes by, they will accumulate more and more. In the end, these pollutions will completely distort the soul of even the undead monarch Deru.”
“And at that time, his Sea of Mind will have a very peculiar phenomenon.”
“His Sea of Mind will undergo a crazy process of decay!”
“And after the decay, Deru himself will be twisted into a special monster that is anti-logical and anti-life.”
“At that time, he will become an incomplete, but more destructive and polluting 【Godspawn】!”
