Chapter 142: Sherek! [Request for Recommendation Votes]
October 6, 2016
Author: Floating Tower
Modo City and Arendelle’s connection has become increasingly close.
Especially after the Investiture of the Gods of the Princess, many people learned that Lord Soren had stayed in the Royal Palace of Arendelle for a whole week, and what he did there is undoubtedly clear. Arendelle had just held two grand celebrations, and no matter what matters arose, they had to be postponed. Princess Anna had a lot to handle after taking control of the kingdom, especially during the period of the Saint’s Cataclysm. After half a month, Modo City’s consumption from the last war had recovered quite a bit, as the resources from the Bottomless Abyss continuously supported the Golem Factory’s production.
Soren is now frantically amassing an army.
However, compared to the expensive Iron Golems and Diamond Golems, Modo City is currently producing the most Clay Golems and Stone Golems, with hundreds of these golems being made every day.
Gloria’s witch group has increased to more than three hundred members. Almost all the witches, aside from those in the Northern Tower, have chosen to ally with Gloria, especially after she obtained the Divine Profession of Prophecy, many witches specialized in divination have come to her side. The Eye of the North has not commented much on this, as she knows very well that relying solely on the Northern Tower would not allow them to withstand the later stages of the Saint’s Cataclysm.
Time quietly passes.
As the Undead Catastrophe intensifies, Soren received reports that there was an army of over a million undead gathering near the Rosad Duchy.
An unexpected event occurred.
The Goddess of Magic has appeared!
Although she only occasionally revealed herself, various news indicated that this was true. The Goddess of Magic actually appeared when the God of Knowledge showed signs, but only for a brief half-day before disappearing again.
This is undoubtedly an exciting piece of news!
This indicates that the Goddess of Magic is recovering well, and it may not be long before the divine network is mended.
However.
Things quickly took a turn.
Because shortly after the Goddess of Magic appeared, another goddess showed signs as well.
That is— the Goddess of d*ath and Magic!
An otherworldly deity from a different realm, she holds little faith in this world; her main faith seems to come from the God of d*ath – Naraku’s original world. She simply appeared and then vanished, and it seems she had some conflict with the Lich God.
The situation suddenly became perplexing.
Even Soren could not predict the changes to come. However, the turbulence seemed to escalate further. Shortly after the two goddesses appeared, a rather awe-inspiring deity performed a miracle.
That is Lady Misfortune!
As if in response to the appearance of the Goddess of Luck, Lady Misfortune did not wish to be left out, appearing in a completely unpredictable place, which was the already ruined Amber City, and after displaying a miracle, she vanished.
The situation is becoming increasingly unpredictable.
Soren has already altered some historical patterns, making it impossible for him to judge the course of future events. Thus, he could only diligently practice his inner strength to accumulate power, maintaining his position unchanged in the face of change.
Time quietly reached October.
When the third envoy from the Eastern Kingdom arrived, a completely unexpected letter that surprised even Soren was delivered to him.
This letter came from his enemy.
The Duchess of Red Dragon, ruler of the Rosad Duchy!
This letter was sealed with secret magic and had not been opened before reaching Soren’s hands. He opened the letter with some confusion, and after quickly reading it, he remarked with amusement, “Interesting! She actually wants to ask for my help! I really don’t know if she’s daydreaming or is in a desperate situation?”
The contents of the letter were quite simple.
The Duchess of Red Dragon inexplicably wished to request Soren’s help to deal with the undead army and offered a reward within the letter; she was willing to secretly cede a large portion of Rosad Duchy’s land.
“Hmm.”
Soren stroked his chin and muttered, “So, she’s already been abandoned by those demons? That’s not surprising. Demons are always profit-driven, and the outbreak of the Undead Catastrophe has exceeded their control. It’s impossible for the Demon Legion to protect the Rosad Duchy.”
“However, why should I take action? How could she have the audacity to seek my help!”
The Duchess of Red Dragon is Soren’s enemy.
The reason he has not taken action until now is simply due to various concerns, not wanting the gods to think he has ambitions to occupy the continent.
But this does not mean Soren is willing to help the Duchess of Red Dragon, especially since occupying land during the Saint’s Cataclysm wouldn’t mean much and would be difficult to defend. However, just as Soren was preparing to refuse, he hesitated again. As an evil god, he naturally aims to gain greater benefits for himself. The Duchess of Red Dragon is a valuable piece on the board, and now that she has come seeking him, Soren immediately began to consider what he could gain from her. The Rosad Duke is close to the Southern Coast, with a considerable population and army. The Duchess of Red Dragon holds many valuable stakes for Soren.
“Hmm.”
Soren pondered and said, “Since she’s asking me for help, then let her come to Modo City to discuss it with me. If she doesn’t even dare to come to Modo City, then she has no value to me. If she dares come to Modo City, then it wouldn’t be out of consideration, after all, her value is not low.”
A legendary-level dragon-bl**d sorcerer, the ruler of the Rosad Duchy from a sorcerer family that has lasted thousands of years.
There are many aspects of the Duchess of Red Dragon that Soren can exploit, and her soul holds a considerable allure for him. Such a high-level legendary spellcaster would have many uses if integrated into the Divine Kingdom.
“Hmm. Let’s do it this way.” Soren immediately began to prepare a letter inviting the other party to come personally.
As long as she dares to come, Soren has plenty of ways to handle her.
………………
Bottomless Abyss. The third layer, Land of Forgotten.
Compared to the Undead Catastrophe on the Material Plane, a recent war broke out in the Bottomless Abyss as well.
First, the demon lords of the lower planes encountered trouble, with the ancient insectoids appearing to give them headaches, and the emergence of some Ancient Evil Artifacts has further unsettled them. As the demon army from Gurenba Arena assisted Soren in attacking the Kingdom of Fear, they suddenly shrank by two-thirds. However, just as other demon lords thought they could take advantage of the situation to strike back.
Reality delivered a heavy slap to their faces.
Balroth Fire Demon’s leader, Soren, gained a considerable number of high-level demons, and these high-level demons were granted strange rings. In addition to the magic rings possessed by him, a total of nine powerful demons received these endowed rings, which granted them the terrifying ability to harness divine power, instantly making them extremely formidable. The war erupted for only a few days, and any demon attempting to challenge Soren’s dominion was crushed.
At this moment, Soren has subtly become the most powerful demon lord in the Land of Forgotten.
However, before him looms a hindrance, the King of Werewolves from the lower layers of the Bottomless Abyss. Although it was somewhat unexpected for Yenogu to cease his offensive, the massive army of werewolves still exists.
Soren can only defeat them to fully control this layer of the Bottomless Abyss.

Under the dark night sky.
On a land that has just gone through a massacre, space suddenly twisted bizarrely.
The air thickened with the breath of d*ath, vaguely emanating a very dark energy, and shortly after, a rift broke open in the twisted space, from which a slender man with terrifying black eyes and deathly pale skin leaped out.
His complexion was exceptionally pale.
His expression conveyed coldness, madness, and brutality; just a glance made it evident that he was a very narrow-minded, self-centered, and extremely radical person.
This was a very intuitive feeling.
From the moment of his emergence, his presence enveloped the surrounding space in a wave of malevolent energy.
“Hahaha! Cackle!…”
A strange, oppressive low chuckle erupted, which quickly transformed into a mad, furious laugh. The cold man murmured, “I’m finally out! Klanvor! Midnight! Tyr! Loshanda! I’m finally out!”
“Now!”
“You all will pay for your past deeds!”
The mad laughter abruptly ceased.
The cold man then surveyed his surroundings in amazement, murmuring, “Where’s my divine power? Why is my strength so weak?!… d*mn!… What has happened in this world?…”
“Why has my power weakened to this degree?!…”
—God of m*rder – Sherek!
The former Prince of Lies has finally broken free from his seal due to the Saint’s Cataclysm. But upon descending to the Material Plane, he was met with a severe strike. Having spent a significant amount of power escaping from the chaotic seal, he was directly suppressed to a Saint form during the Saint’s Cataclysm.
He quickly realized he had become very weak, and the speed of his power recovery was incredibly slow, with hardly any divine power accumulating.
This indicates that his church is close to fading.
“d*mn!”
Sherek gritted his teeth, cursing his former enemies, murmuring, “How long have I been sealed?”
He looked up at the sky.
The stars under the night sky were all dimmed, and as he seemed to recall something, he muttered, “Saint’s Cataclysm? Has a new Saint’s Cataclysm erupted?”
“Great!”
Suddenly, his expression filled with delight, murmuring, “Heaven is helping me!”
His rise was inseparable from the last Saint’s Cataclysm, and upon breaking his seal to discover that the Saint’s Cataclysm had erupted again, Sherek’s heart was filled with joy. Because he had once been the biggest winner of the Saint’s Cataclysm; had it not been for his own downfall, he might have become the God of Gods.
Sherek firmly believes he is favored by fate.
The eruption of this Saint’s Cataclysm is fate’s favor towards him, because only during the Saint’s Cataclysm can he seek revenge on those powerful enemies.
This time, he will not repeat his mistakes.
Sherek firmly believes he will certainly be the ultimate victor! And this time he will truly become the God of Gods!
