Chapter 132: Goddess of d*ath and Magic! [Seeking Recommendation Votes]

Orcus has returned.
This terrifying Demon Lord is itself a legend!
Orcus was once a mortal, and no one knows the details of his life as a mortal, only that he was a plump man who looked swollen all over and was adept at certain spells. After his d*ath, his soul came to the outer planes and became the lowest-level larva, beginning a history of struggle in the Bottomless Abyss, ultimately becoming one of the most powerful demons in the Bottomless Abyss!
The Bottomless Abyss is a magical place.
It is filled with absolute chaos, but absolute chaos is also filled with possibilities, where order can exist alongside many incredible beings.
Thus, Orcus became a powerful Demon Lord, evolving from a small Abyss Worm. However, his experience did not end there. After his rise, he encountered a terrifying enemy, the Drow Demigod—Kraven Shali, marking the beginning of Orcus’s first d*ath.
However.
This does not mean the end.
About a thousand years later, Orcus returned.
He was resurrected but had lost most of his power. Yet, Orcus ultimately rose again, mastering the power of “Final Words.” During his search for the Staff of Orcus, he once again died but was subsequently revived by his servants. This is a very unique Demon Lord, as his number of deaths and resurrections far exceeds that of other beings. It seems he is a creature that is difficult to destroy at its root. Among the gods, demons, and evil beings, very few can be resurrected even after a thousand years of d*ath, and Orcus is one such exceptional case. So when he announced his return to the multiverse, the gods were not too surprised but felt a great headache instead!
The Undead Lords are expanding their power.
At the same time, these powerful Undead Lords are also showing their trump cards to the gods, telling them that they qualify to fight the gods!
Undead—Ovu!
The Lich Queen of the Gisz!
King of the Undead—Orcus!
Already, there are three known Undead Lords capable of battling the gods, as recognized by Soren, and who knows how many other terrifying beings are hidden among them.
………………
Eastern Desert.
In this lifeless d*ath Desert, a strange portal appeared.
Then, several oddly dressed Liches emerged from it, followed by some still-living Wizards, marked distinctly by their bald heads and strange tattoos.
Greeting these individuals were terrifying undead clad in rust-red, bearing the emblem of the God of d*ath—Naraku, led by a partially undead priest. Naraku is a staunch supporter of those who commit evil for their own pleasure. In Naraku’s cold world, everything is the same. To him, all living beings are a great insult to him, the God of d*ath; on the contrary, all dying lives shine with the gleaming spark of pleasure, which he revels in. Some people pray to Naraku without true devoutness, hoping to gain Naraku’s power, many of whom are granted rewards of d*ath.
The Church of the God of d*ath Naraku raises a multitude of undead. As the deity overseeing d*ath, Naraku is a truly terrifying enemy, capable of casting d*ath’s Hand 17 times per day!
During the Saint’s Cataclysm.
The God of d*ath Naraku was one of the most difficult deities to k*ll!
Moreover, as a powerful god of d*ath, Naraku, even during the Saint’s Cataclysm, could sense any d*ath that occurred within a week across the Material Plane, and in his divine form, he could sense any d*ath within 17 weeks.
In other words, the information this god of d*ath possesses is incredibly frightening!
The undead welcoming these wizards are nearly all of Legend rank, dispersed on either side of the portal. As the red-robed mages part ways, a presence filled with evil aura emerges.
This is a Lich!
—Sazastan!
Former ruler of Torre, the most powerful and terrifying being among the Red Robe Wizards!
A terrifying Lich with a Challenge Level over 31!
He appears as a gaunt human wearing an ornate robe, with pale skin and dark sunken eyes, sparse black beard, and withered hands. Of course, he can use magic to change his appearance; usually, he prefers to transform into a tall scholar, old yet vigorous, with a pair of shining black eyes and a hoarse voice that sounds like it has been squeezed from his throat. At this moment, Sazastan has taken on this illusory form, looking less like a Lich and more like an excessively aged wizard. He slightly bows to the priest before him, speaking in a hoarse voice, “Pleased to meet you, messenger of Naraku!”
The half-undead priest nods slightly, speaking in the same lifeless tone, “The operation is about to begin.”
“We have discovered Klanvor’s whereabouts.”
“Now.”
“What we need to do is gather all our forces and k*ll him!”
Sazastan gently nods. As one of the renowned Liches in the multiverse, he is very aware that if they do not k*ll Klanvor, their plan is unlikely to succeed.
The God of d*ath—Ye Ge has exited the stage of history.
After watching for a long time during the Saint’s Cataclysm, the Undead Lords finally discovered that the God of d*ath—Ye Ge had no intentions of intervening in the struggles of the gods. This also means an important opportunity; with Ye Ge inactive, they can seize more power.
Naraku is one of the masterminds!
But within the ranks of the rulers of undeath, many are eyeing even more potent forces!
………………
Darkness envelops the Material Plane.
The undead seem to overshadow even the glory of the demons; the demons active in the Material Plane gradually retract their presence, sensing that something is amiss and unwilling to clash with the undead at this time.
This retreat means that souls are being plundered by the undead.
Resurrected souls begin to appear near numerous graveyards, and the deaths of millions of beings directly lead to the emergence of countless Ghouls.
The first wave of the Undead Plague has not yet exploded.
But Soren knows that it is not far off, and currently, the key to determining the intensity of the Undead Plague lies in a single person.
That is Klanvor!
—”King of the Dead”—Klanvor.
The chief god of the God of d*ath System, and the most powerful god of d*ath at present!
No one knows where Klanvor is because since the outbreak of the Saint’s Cataclysm, he has not shown any trace.
He is very cautious.
Soren is searching for Klanvor’s whereabouts, while other deities are also looking for him.
Given the current situation of the Material Plane, only Klanvor’s divine power can calm these undead, allowing the revived undead beings to rest.
Modo is operating at high speed; after experiencing the Divine Kingdom War, Soren has begun to frantically plunder resources from the Bottomless Abyss, while massively producing Golem Puppets. Now, many areas beneath Modo have been hollowed out, with factories for Golem Puppets being established, and vast resources are being funneled into the creation of these war machines.
The outbreak of the Undead Plague is a war of attrition.
For even demons do not have the endless cannon fodder like the undead; if the Undead Lords who drive them cannot be killed, many undead will be revived time after time.
Time passes in silence.
Everyone anticipates a terrible disaster, but the gods in their saint forms cannot stop it because their powers have been severely diminished. What the gods can do now is to protect their believers and churches as much as possible, ceding the wilderness to the wandering undead.
At the same time.
In the Underdark, the powerful Spider Queen is also encountering troubles.
Because a terrifying kind of creature among the Eye Demons has appeared.
—The Eye Tyrant!
This undead creature transmuted from Eye Demons has begun to appear in large numbers in the Underdark, seemingly indicating that the Undead Lords are also plotting something here.
………………
Modo.
Soren is spending more and more time predicting the stars because he has realized that the gods’ brilliance is fading.
So far, there has been no action from Modo, and Soren is patiently waiting for something. Of course, he is not waiting for Klanvor’s appearance, but for the arrival of another deity.
The arrival of an otherworldly god!
In the boundless multiverse, deities are not limited to the Material Plane they currently inhabit; there are other gods existing in other worlds, and only the Pantheon is their meeting place. However, during the Undead Plague, another god from a different world has come, and what Soren is doing now is waiting for her arrival.
Under the dim night sky.
A shooting star suddenly appears in the sky, and Soren instantly stands up, murmuring, “She has finally arrived.”
—“Goddess of Magic and d*ath—Vices! [Medium Divine Power]”
Another deity of the God of d*ath System.
A goddess who simultaneously presides over magic and d*ath, hailing from another Material World, once connected to the second generation Goddess of Magic.
The shooting star streaked across the sky.
It soon disappeared from view; no one knows where this deity went, but Soren has already recognized her arrival.
In the multiverse, there are many otherworldly gods; even now, deities of the Material Plane have invaded other worlds, with the Orc God System being one of the outsiders rooted here. At the same time, ancient deities like the Mohan God System and other gods from different worlds have visited this place.
The arrival of this goddess is a sign.
Because shortly after her descent, the Undead Plague officially erupted.
Soren silently gazes at the pitch-black night sky, as if something important is drawing his attention. After a long time, he finally murmurs, “Is it finally about to begin?”
“May the Lord of Radiance’s power be able to stop all of this!”
This catastrophe cannot be halted by his personal strength; it is the Lord of Radiance, close to great divine power, who will be the leading figure in the subsequent two impacts, and only he can shatter the schemes of the numerous Undead Lords.
