The necromancer just wants to plant trees

…

The remains of the god of death?

Matthew was somewhat doubtful.

He looked at the lonely remains on the top of the crystal tower, which indeed condensed the coveted divinity—

Divinity of such scale and quality.

As long as a mortal licked it, it was possible to condense the status of a demigod on the spot.

Of course.

The premise is that his body can withstand the excessive load brought by divinity.

However, at this moment, Matthew's eyebrows were tightly knitted:

"Divinity is no problem."

"But the breath... Why is it so different from the projection of the god of death produced when I cast the undead disaster before?"

Matthew can be sure.

The breath of this remains is completely different from the projection of the god of death he has seen.

These are two people!

Matthew was puzzled and took a half step forward. Sener, who had been accompanying him, suddenly said:

"The ancient god of death."

Matthew suddenly realized.

"Yes, He is not Jaeger, but the ancient god who held the power of death before Jaeger!"

"This is..."

"The remains of the ancient god of death!"

The ancient god of death

He existed in the same era as the twin ancient gods of light and darkness, but in that era, because the existence of the twin heavens was too dazzling, many ancient gods had a low sense of existence.

This included the remains that Matthew had taken over from the laboratory of the Camela Fortress before -

That was the remains of the ancient god of life.

The ancient god of death should be as old as the ancient god of life.

Matthew knew almost nothing about him.

He asked all the friends around him.

Only Sener mentioned some stories that were close to unofficial history:

"It is said that the ancient god of death often walks in the world in the image of a melancholy man."

"His status is very transcendent, and he did not even participate in the war between the ancient gods and the dusk creatures and the evil gods from outer space."

"But strangely, all the powerful beings in that era respected him very much, including the ancient twin gods of light and darkness who were in their heyday at that time."

"There are even rumors that the ancient god of death is also an incarnation of the twin ancient gods of light and darkness - this statement seems to be made up by the trolls to praise the power of their god Pultian. If the twin ancient gods of light and darkness really also control death, he is almost omnipotent in that era. Yes, even if I swallowed Eindo in one gulp, nothing would happen..."

"It is said that the ancient god of death had three wives, but they did not give birth to any offspring."

"He opened up the underworld, but he often did not live in the underworld. Most of the time, he wandered around the mortal world thinking about philosophical issues related to life and death and the universe."

"There are too few records about the ancient god of death. I once saw such a record in a history book with average credibility-"

"One day, the ancient god of death came back from going out and found that his third wife was having an affair with someone, and he caught her on the spot."

"The wife was terrified, and the cheater also felt that a disaster was coming. He knelt down and begged the ancient god of death to spare his life."

"Who would have thought that the Ancient God of Death, instead of being furious, forgave them on the spot."

"After that, he asked his wife if she really loved the cheater. His wife shook her head to deny it, claiming that she was just seeking temporary excitement."

"So the Ancient God of Death asked the cheater if he really loved his wife. The cheater was still quite courageous and answered that he really loved her."

"Then, the Ancient God of Death asked the cheater if he was willing to take his place as the God of Death, so that he could be with his wife forever."

"When this question was asked, both the Ancient God of Death's wife and the cheater were stunned, and his wife was still Although he was worried that the Ancient God of Death was speaking in a sarcastic way, he kept hinting to the lover not to provoke the other party. "

"But the lover was really bold, and he said he was willing on the spot."

"The Ancient God of Death happily took the lover away, leaving his wife alone in the hut by the Styx."

"A few days later, the lover returned wearing the robe given by the Ancient God of Death. He claimed that the Ancient God of Death had fallen, and the power of death was now in his hands, and he would become the new God of Death."

"As you guessed, the lover was the later God of Death, Jaeger."

"Is there such a good thing?"

Everyone was stunned.

"So, the God of Death, Jaeger, not only inherited the throne and power of the Ancient God of Death, but also inherited his wife?"

"What happened later? What happened later?"

Safrola asked curiously.

Sener said leisurely:

"What happened later was even more interesting."

"Yeger got everything he wanted and lived a happy life with his lover. It was like this for a long time."

"But as time went by, Yeager's wife, the wife of the ancient god of death, began to be dissatisfied with the status quo."

"She had an affair with someone else again."

"And not long after, she was caught by Yeager."

"This time, she and the adulterer still begged for mercy."

"Unfortunately, similar things did not happen again."

"Since then, there has been a tomb in the underworld that no one dares to sweep, and the remains of his wife and the adulterer were thrown into the gray star realm by Yeager, and have long become a dessert for a giant beast..."

Hearing this.

Everyone was silent.

They discussed in a low voice.

Matthew's heart became hot at this moment——

Of course he wasn't moved by the story of the two Death Gods and their wives.

In fact.

This hotness is not an illusion of consciousness.

It’s the real reaction given by the flesh to Matthew!

"This induction... is unmistakable, it's the Death Fairy Orchid!"

Matthew instantly found the source of the anomaly.

The death orchid nourished by the remains of the ancient god of life was placed by Matthew in the tomb of the Death Fear Cemetery.

It is not only thousands of miles away from here, but also separated by many planes.

It stands to reason that it would be impossible to be touched.

But now.

He could clearly feel that the remains of the ancient god of death in the crystal tower were being stirred by some kind of power. Through his own body, using Matthew's heart as a medium, they were interacting with the death orchid in the tomb. Strong reaction!

The response was so urgent.

So much so that Matthew couldn't help but feel an impulse in his heart:

He must get this remains!

This is extremely beneficial to him personally. Not to mention the disconnected and subtle connections between the remains of the two ancient gods, the spirituality and divinity of the ancient Death God alone are a treasure that is enough to drive all necromancers crazy!

As long as Matthew gets the remains.

He will definitely advance by leaps and bounds in related fields, and by then no one will be able to match him!

"Calm down, calm down!"

Listening to the feverish call in his heart, Matthew quickly calmed down.

He realized something was wrong.

This thing is so much like fishing!

"Please check the surrounding situation again."

"Make sure there aren't any traps."

Matthew said to the three legendary rogues.

The three of them nodded and obeyed.

Not long after.

The others followed.

The cleaning work on the spaceship deck has also come to an end, and most of the shadow monks and Thongluo descendants have been killed by them.

The average quality of these units is actually very high.

However, there is a serious lack of high-end combat capabilities.

When encountering Matthew, a legendary team capable of killing gods, they naturally had no ability to resist.

Everyone came to the crystal tower one after another.

They marveled at the quantity and quality of the treasures on the layers of the crystal tower——

Except for the remains of the ancient god of death that made Matthew's heart beat.

There are also large amounts of gold and silver treasures and precious magic props piled on other floors of the Crystal Tower.

Also included is a series of shadow dossiers!

This thing is not cheap.

Matthew felt the majestic power of the domain from it.

Each of these shadow files contains the cornerstone of the shadow realm, the "will of shadow".

Perhaps only the Lord of Darkness, a being who has lived in the shadow plane for thousands of years, has such an accumulation.

He even found several threatening semi-artifacts inside!

Although Matthew no longer values ​​semi-artifacts very much.

But that doesn't mean others won't be jealous.

Bobo, who had just jumped out of the "Lady"'s cockpit, seemed eager to try:

"Is it time to divide the spoils?"

"What I mean is... I want the purple thread-bound books on the fifth floor. Those seem to be magic books related to the Mechanical Titan. Although it is not the one I want the most, but..."

"How about I go get it myself?"

The greedy Bobo was just about to take action when he was stopped by Lumiere, who had also just rolled off the Southern Barbarian Ancient Dragon.

"etc."

While adjusting the knobs of the robotic arm, he said somewhat strangely:

"I always feel like there's something wrong with this crystal tower."

Matthew also waved his hand to signal everyone to step back a distance.

He also noticed something was wrong.

The next second.

He looked at Feliwen and Hibbert.

Fei Liwen understood and threw away a life monitor, and the magic light swept around in circles, but there was no response;

Hibbert's eyes suddenly became empty——

"Returning the True Technique"!

In an instant.

A complex emblem suddenly appeared in Hibbert's pupils.

The theme of the emblem is an eye-catching pile of gold coins and props.

And in the center of them.

It’s a treasure chest——

No.

That's not a treasure chest.

It's a Mimic with an unusually long tongue and countless rows of sharp teeth hidden behind it!

"This crystal tower is a giant Mimic!"

Matthew immediately reminded him.

Everyone was shocked.

Luo Lan nodded thoughtfully:

"I heard that the King of Treasure Chests made four bugs. They can transform into pagodas made of different materials. The interior of the pagoda is filled with various treasures and props to lure adventurers to break in."

"And once you enter the interior of the pagoda, you will be transported directly to the plane called "Treasure Box Paradise" just like being swallowed by a Mimic Monster..."

Bobo asked eagerly:

"So everything in front of you is fake?"

Hibbert shook his head:

"Everything is real."

"Mimics are real too."

Bobo instantly became energetic:

"So we can get what we want, at most we will be teleported?"

"Treasure Chest Heaven?"

"This place doesn't sound scary..."

The others also discussed a few words.

It seems that everyone is very interested in the existence of Treasure Chest King and Treasure Chest Heaven.

At this time, Richard stood up and poured cold water on him:

"Treasure Chest Paradise is not a place with beautiful scenery and beautiful mountains and rivers."

"That's part of the evil spirit plane."

"In fact, the King of Treasure Chests is one of the most terrifying evil spirits. He is the master of all the treasure chest monsters in the multiverse and holds extremely terrifying authority and power."

"Even a high-ranking legend would not dare to easily conflict with it in the evil spirit plane. His territory is not only a mystery to outsiders, but also a forbidden area of ​​death."

"We have heard many stories about the abyss and purgatory, but there are very few legends about the world of evil spirits. This is not without reason!"

Evil spirit?

Matthew narrowed his eyes.

Even he didn't know that the King of Treasure Chests was actually the lord of the evil spirit plane!

And Richard looked like he knew everything...could it be related to some of his personal experiences?

He glanced at Richard several times.

The latter walked away silently.

"In any case, now is not the best time to touch these things."

Matthew said solemnly:

"Actually, I felt something was wrong before. How could such a cunning enemy as Beckmann put his family's wealth on the table so openly?"

"He may not have expected our arrival, but it will certainly be a bait for other potential enemies."

"It seems that he also has deep cooperation with the evil spirit lords..."

In fact, what made Matthew suspicious the most was the area surrounding the Crystal Tower.

Beckmann is known as the Lord of Darkness, and this space was expanded from the original ultra-high-density shadow core. However, along the way, they have not set foot in the serious shadow realm.

Moreover, except for the shadow monks and Tongluo gods, the enemies encountered were almost non-existent from other races.

Especially shadow creatures!

"I discovered a hidden entrance behind a staircase between the third and second floors."

"There were four guards over there, two of them were knocked unconscious by me, and the remaining two escaped in!"

"Mr. Sen'er has already gone in first to explore the way. He asked me to come over and inform you..."

at this time.

Savrolla quickly ran over to report the situation.

Matthew's eyes lit up and he quickly followed.

No one hesitated.

Only Bobo reluctantly looked in the direction of the crystal tower, and luckily Lumi suddenly pulled her back into the team.

Along the way.

Bobo is still mumbling:

"Is there any way that we can get the Mimic bait without being teleported away?"

Feliwen smiled and said:

"Theoretically, as long as your hand speed is fast enough, this is possible."

Bobo's eyes lit up.

But Feliwen's next words made the antenna that had just been erected on her head soften again:

"But the reality is that almost no one can do that."

"If the master behind all the Mimic Monsters is really a great lord from the world of evil spirits, then the laws he formulated will definitely be protected by the root of evil worship."

"You must know that the Root of Evil Chong is one of the four most influential wills in the star realm. The remaining three are the Abyss Mother Body, the Purgatory Blood River and the Absurd Demon."

"The four of them respectively represent the supreme will of the four astral planes: the world of evil spirits, the world of the abyss, the world of purgatory, and the arcane wilderness."

"The supreme will of the astral realm is only half a step lower than the supreme will of the material realm in terms of personality, which means that their strengthening of laws has a very high priority."

"Perhaps we can develop some blinding spells to take away the bait and send our own substitutes to the opponent at the same time, but this will take a long time to research, and the success rate is uncertain."

"On the other hand, if this crystal tower has a higher consciousness than ordinary Mimic monsters, then no matter what fake moves we make, it may be seen through. In short, in the star realm, anything related to evil spirits , must be treated with great caution.”

Bobo reluctantly adjusted the position of his helmet:

"Okay, okay."

Matthew patted her shoulder:

"Don't be discouraged. We will have a chance when the current problems are solved."

While talking.

Several people followed Savrolla to the hidden entrance.

Matthew bent down.

Drilled in first.

The next second.

The endless darkness completely submerged him!

…

"Warning: You have entered the room of Beckmann, the Lord of Darkness!

You have been discovered by hidden creatures in the Shadow Realm!

You may be attacked from all directions at any time! "

…

Facing this seemingly endless darkness.

Matthew was not surprised but delighted:

"This is right!"

"How could the Lord of Darkness's lair not have a lot of shadow creatures..."

The next second.

He took out the Lost Lantern and the Sun God Spear from his bag.

The former emits a circle of gentle light, which drives away all low-level shadow creatures trying to get close to Matthew;

The tip of the latter burst out with a bright light, sweeping away some of the shadows in front of his eyes, and opened a path before Matthew was alive.

By these two items.

Matthew could barely grasp a certain vision in this rich darkness.

Although the clear distance is no more than twenty meters.

But in this highly compressed shadow world, it is already quite a rare performance.

It didn't take long.

Everyone followed one after another.

Matthew led them halfway along a corridor.

Here it is.

They bumped into Sener who had just finished a battle.

"The number of shadow elements here is simply incredible!"

Senel complained to Matthew:

"I suspect that Beckmann has transferred all the shadow elements from the entire shadow plane into his room. Doesn't he worry about privacy issues? Those who live long are indeed perverts..."

Matthew looked at the beaten shadow elements on the ground with their cores scattered, pursed his lips, and said nothing more.

There are indeed a lot of shadow elements in the room.

They won't swarm you like irrational monsters, they will just hide on your path or in an unexpected shadow somewhere, and come to you suddenly!

Under cover of darkness.

Shadow elements are actually transparent. Even if everyone has various lighting tools, the unique talent of shadow elements allows them to remain invisible for 1 to 2 seconds when they enter the range of light.

If there weren't a lot of people in the team who had extraordinary abilities, it wouldn't be possible.

Just passing through this corridor would probably take a lot of effort.

A small door appeared ahead.

Matthew stood behind the door and looked inside.

This is a hall flooded by shadows. In addition to the most basic material structure of the hall, the accumulated shadow realm has reached an extremely terrifying level.

The shadows are filled with fragments.

That's an astonishing number of shadow creatures waiting to attack!

"Shadow elements, shadow steel golems, shadow warlocks, shadow dragons, and myth monsters..."

Feliwen named the shadow creatures like a treasure trove.

Matthew's expression became much more serious.

Got here.

The quality of shadow creatures suddenly increased by more than one level.

Put aside the most common shadow elements.

"Shadowsteel Golem" combines the elusive characteristics of shadow creatures with the heaven-defying defensive capabilities of golem constructs.

Matthew currently observes that there are two Shadowsteel Golems stuck on both sides of the hall, and there may be some more in the corridor leading to the other side of the hall.

These two shadowsteel golems are suspected to be connected to some mechanisms in the hall on the material level.

It's probably not that easy to get around them.

The dormant "Shadow Warlocks" are more like assassins waiting for an opportunity, except that most of their attacks are based on sharp shadow spells, and some Shadow Warlocks have the ability to transform into monsters.

Each shadow warlock has at least 20 creature levels.

Matthew didn't see the leader for the time being.

But he suspects a legendary shadow warlock is hiding in the hall!

The "Shadow Dragon" is a more troublesome creature.

They are true dragons, able to freely change their size, possessing unparalleled strength and resistance, and are the most capable of frontal melee combat among shadow creatures.

Matthew also saw traces of Beckman on the foreheads of these shadow dragons.

He suspected that once he fought against these shadow dragons, even if Lorraine blocked the information, Beckmann might be able to sense it in time.

certainly.

The most disgusting monster is undoubtedly the "Myth Monster" that flashes past the corner of the hall.

This creature seems to be non-aggressive, but as long as it exists, people will always be distracted involuntarily.

This doesn't even have anything to do with your mental strength, will, and related resistance.

The ability of the myth monster to distract people is a manifestation of the power of the law.

Only law can confront law.

Even with the conditions Matthew had on hand, he could barely resist the effects of the Myth Monster only by keeping Paradise Lost on.

But that.

It is equivalent to completely exposing one's position!

"We have to get through this hall as quickly as possible."

Sener reminded:

"When I was chasing the two guards just now, several shadow elements came out and held me back. I only killed one of them. Although the remaining one was seriously injured and could not survive, I don't know if he was dying. I sent out the information before..."

Matthew nodded.

"But this is the Trench of Shadows."

Feliwen said seriously:

"If I'm not mistaken, Beckmann moved the deepest part of the Shadow Plane into his bedroom."

"The shadow elements deposited here are too exaggerated. If you are not careful, you may be overwhelmed or even crushed to death by the shadows. Any idea of ​​​​passing through the hall quickly may incur great risks."

Hibbert raised his hand and said:

"I can make a springboard in the time domain. Within the scope allowed by the hourglass time, the user of the springboard can advance a long distance in the time domain, but I can't determine the specific distance. It may be half, it may be four. Three-thirds, but it must be farther than one-third..."

The rest of the people also expressed their opinions.

After listening to everyone's suggestions.

Matthew waved his hand:

"Then let me try it first."

While talking.

He handed the Lost Lantern to Feliwen next to him.

Then he came to the edge of the hall pointing at the Sun God Spear alone.

After a little preparation.

Matthew also put away the only shining sun spear.

All of a sudden.

Infinite darkness overwhelmed him.

Rustling.

There are countless creatures in the shadows grinding their teeth and sucking blood, eager to try!

But their rash moves were interrupted by a sudden surge of force!

In the darkness that is indistinguishable to the naked eye.

Circles of ripples filled with domain power spread rapidly.

Centered around Matthew.

The realms called negative energy and eclipse overlap with each other, and an independent space that does not belong to the shadow realm is constructed here!

"really."

"The shadow realm overlaps with the negative energy realm and the eclipse realm."

"I can use the negative energy and eclipse realms to eliminate part of the darkness in the shadow realm, and then reduce the repulsion in the realm to a minimum."

"Well, the mark left by Beckman in the realm is too strong. I can't completely dominate it, but it shouldn't be a problem to open a path out..."

Matthew's heart was filled with joy.

This was the first time he operated and reconstructed the realm in actual combat.

Although it was carried out without interference.

But it was also a very important step for him.

A few seconds later.

A large number of elements from the shadow realm were easily incorporated into his own space by Matthew.

Next.

He released the balance realm and the minotaur realm to try to communicate and plunder more elements in the shadow realm-

Plunder what can be plundered first.

Communicate with what cannot be plundered.

If you really can't communicate...then let it go for the time being.

This is Matthew's principle of micro-manipulation of the realm.

At this moment.

His mental power was unprecedentedly focused.

In addition to the fields that were spread out, other related fields also had a slight resonance in the field ecosystem that had already taken shape.

The flow of elements between fields was faster.

This made Matthew's work easier.

In less than three minutes.

The edge of the hall suddenly faded away in large patches of darkness.

The shadow creatures that were exposed screamed uncomfortably.

But because the field they depended on was suppressed.

They could not attack Matthew.

They could not even get close to Matthew.

Sener was quick-witted and took Lumiere and others to kill these unfortunate shadow creatures in a few seconds.

The remaining shadow creatures quickly fled to the darkness next to them.

Ten seconds later.

Matthew's figure appeared in front of everyone again.

He was shining with a dark light all over his body.

The power of the field condensed into substance in him.

Every moment, black juice fell from the hem of Matthew's clothes.

The juice dripped onto the floor and instantly formed into crystals.

"Shadow element crystal clusters!"

Fei Liwen exclaimed.

But before she could make a move, a figure flashed by and the crystal clusters on the ground disappeared completely.

Fei Liwen glanced at the soldier who seemed to be indifferent and curled her lips slightly.

Everyone came to Matthew.

Matthew pointed an index finger at the other side of the hall:

"Go this way!"

As soon as the voice fell.

The endless darkness quickly retreated to both sides.

A broad road suddenly appeared in the bottomless shadow trench.

The shadow creatures on the road made uneasy sounds.

Matthew led everyone to pass by calmly.

Not long after.

They passed through the hall smoothly.

There was also a corridor on the other side of the hall.

At the end of the corridor was a spacious bedroom.

The density of shadow elements here dropped significantly.

Visibility was also much better.

Therefore, as soon as they entered the corridor, they could clearly see that there was a huge stone on the big bed in the bedroom.

Next to the stone.

There were two naked, pale-faced women lying there.

"That's the 'Dimension Anchor'!"

Huang Yulong Kret couldn't help but say.

...
