Rule the whole world!
This grand ideal has been spoken by countless careerists and arrogants for more than four thousand years. However, in history, only Overlord Garserik has fulfilled this grand dream and ruled the entire continent. But two thousand years ago, with the
After the disintegration of the Perlas Empire, the era of the Overlord came to an end. In this continent where regions and national boundaries were redefined, there was no longer a single figure who could recreate the feats of the Overlord back then.
At least! In the eyes of the two major religious organizations in the east and west, an emperor who unified the continent would undoubtedly pose a great threat to himself. Who can guarantee that the second emperor would not follow the example of the overlord and deify himself in order to maintain and consolidate his rights? Suppress other religious forces.
Even the two major religions of the living will not allow an overlord to appear in the country they rule. This is true for the living, let alone facing a dead. The natural taboo of the living towards the dead will bring about If there is more resistance, both the Holy City and the Holy See will put aside their prejudices and work together to defend against the enemy.
"The enemies that the living need to face are only some of the same living beings, and as the dead, you will face all the living in this world, even the gods above the sky!!" Ingham sighed. He said that it is a good thing to have ideals and goals and to dare to make progress, but if it rises to the point of overestimating one's capabilities, it is not worth boasting about.
Although what Arthas, who calls himself the Lich King, said is indeed true, the dead will always be ostracized and subjected to malice from the living throughout the world. Although they are hiding on the Isle of the Dead in Esolos, far away from the mainland, they are still They will face many threats and inconveniences. For example, this pilgrimage to the mainland encountered unexpected obstacles.
Countries in the continent have recently launched a strict search for the undead. Although on the one hand, the war provoked by the Scourge Legion in Alsace in the western part of the continent should be blamed, but strictly speaking, it is caused by the extreme taboo of the living against the dead. Most of the undead are in The Isle of the Dead, Aesolos, has lived in seclusion for thousands of years. The living are still extremely afraid of the dead and may even encounter them. This situation will not change in the next thousands of years. Moreover, before the emergence of Arthas, the Isle of the Dead in Aesolos had been invaded by the living more than once. When a country needs to shift the pattern of conflict and division, crusading against the blasphemous and filthy undead never seems to be an outdated excuse.
After becoming the dead, whether it is Ingham or Fensani, the emotions of any undead will gradually be lost due to the damage of the soul, although it will not be in the state of joy, anger and sorrow. Each undead focuses on his own things. But when it is hindered, the undead will still have the idea of eliminating the obstacle in its mind.
There are also some undead on the Island of the Dead in Esolos who really hope to no longer huddle on the Island of the Dead, but to clear out some humans who have established a kingdom of the undead on the mainland. However, more undead only focus on things they like, instigating , instigation, and bewitchment have no use at all for the undead who lack emotions, and naturally there will be no response. People who are eager to establish a kingdom of the undead lack the power, and powerful beings are not interested in it. For this reason, for thousands of years, Solos Island of the Dead has always faded out of the world's sight.
But now a powerful undead has begun to put his ideals into action, and even Ingelham can't help but feel a little moved. Because the obsession that supports Death Lord Ingelham is the desire to see a person who is on par with Overlord Garselik.
Arthas naturally knew how big the obstacle he faced: "I have already seen the power of the so-called gods. It is indeed very powerful, but it is not an insurmountable existence."
"Gods will also fall, but that requires the same power to do so."
"My Scourge will bring death to them, undead! Are you questioning the power of the Lich King?" Like a giant dragon that had been touched by the Reverse Scale, Arthas stood up and radiated Frostmourne with a cold breath also appeared in his hand.
That sword! !
At the moment Frostmourne appeared, Ingelham took several steps back as if facing a formidable enemy. At the same time, Fenseni and many necromancers had once again felt a sense of surprise in their hearts that had been silent for thousands of years. emotion. The ancient characters on the blade of that ferocious long sword exuded strong ominousness, as if it were a black hole where all life in the world ends. The undead who just stared at its presence found that their souls seemed to be torn away from their bodies by an invisible force.
legend! epic! No! This feeling may have reached the level of a holy object, or it can be said to be an artifact!
The soul fire in Ingelham's pupils burned fiercely. The Death Lord's armor was covered with black lines, and blood as thick as ink surged in the already stiff blood vessels. The powerful breath of death spurted out to resist the call from Frostmourne. The Death Lord also had a double-edged battle ax in his hand. This battle ax fought with Ingham for decades during his lifetime, and it still followed Ingham after his death. Although it looked like It was rusty as if it had been forgotten for countless years. But no one can serve the light condensed on this battle axe. This is a weapon that has entered the quasi-epic level.
Ingham, whose momentum increased greatly, also stared deeply at Alsace. The sea of souls in the eyes of the Death Lord flowed with the will to fight. Even Alsace could not ignore this will.
But compared to Frostmourne, Ingelham knew that there was still a big gap between his weapons and Frostmourne.
"Your Majesty the Lich King. As believers who embrace death together, we have no reason to fight each other." At this time, Karsus bowed slightly and said: "In the years to come, they will understand the power you possess, Your Majesty. Now the offense caused by ignorance is not their fault┉┉”
"Perhaps┉┉You are a very determined undead from the island of Aesolos. If you are willing to surrender to the great Lich King, you are strong enough to serve as my adjutant."
Alsace also admired Ingham's strength and will. This was the first time he had seen such a powerful warrior since he came to this world. His power even surpassed that of Ganelon, who was transformed into a death knight. Even violent beasts are no match for him.
As a fanatic who is obsessed with death, Karsus naturally does not want to see these 'devout' death believers in front of him fighting among themselves, but Karsus, who is the peacemaker, did not realize that his way of speaking was a bit offensive.
However, Ingham was no longer interested in caring about whether Karsus had offended him. He was grateful to be able to avoid a battle with the powerful undead holding an artifact-level weapon in front of him. After hearing the terrifying aura, Ingham knew very well that his chance of winning against him was only one percent.
Putting the battle ax on the ground, Ingham bent down slightly and said: "Thank you for your respect, Mr. Arthas, but as a member of the Isle of the Dead in Aesolos, we came to you today in order to bring the same status to you." Greetings for the dead.”
"Now that you have seen me, what's next? You are undoubtedly powerful undead. If you become a member of my Scourge Legion, then I can complete the purification of this world faster, and we undead can re-establish a new world. A new world with us as the center." Arthas longed for these undead to become his powerful generals.
Ingham did not answer Alsace's question directly: "Yes, Sir Alsace, I know you are eager to get more power to strengthen your legion, but we cannot stop here now, because we are also Follow the most powerful force in the world."
"No power can surpass the Lich King, no power can surpass death┉┉"
"┉┉No power can transcend death."
Fenseni shook her head: "Your Excellency Arthas, I once had the same idea as you. When I embraced death and became a member of the dead, for a long time I also believed that the only existence in this world that could not be surpassed There is only death."
Arthas didn't say a word, still listening to the female mage's words quietly.
"We have come here today to see your terrifying power, Mr. Arthas. You can command such a huge army of the undead. You can spread death to the holy city protected by the five supreme gods. You have a weapon that is comparable to the artifact." powerful weapon, but Your Excellency┉┉”
Fenseni's tone suddenly became excited. Perhaps this was the first time that the female undead said so excitedly after hundreds of years of silence: "┉┉You can spread death and destruction just like us, but spreading death and destruction Destruction can be done by even the most ordinary mortal. Maybe they don't have a powerful artifact like yours, but mortals only need a dagger and stones to do the same thing as you."
Arthas sneered: "A mortal can indeed spread death, but that is insignificant! And I can let death cover the entire world and make all creatures in the world crawl under my feet."
Finseny nodded slightly and did not deny it: "Yes! Your Excellency Arthas! It's just that this power is just a distinction. In essence, mortals and we have the same power. This doesn't mean anything." Difference. But you can easily kill countless living people and make them dead, but can you resurrect a dead person into a living person?"
In an instant, a strange color flashed through Arthas' eyes burning with blue soul fire, and the Lich King couldn't help but tighten his grip on Frostmourne's hand.
"What do you mean by this?" (To be continued...)
