67: Blood clan!
With the complete transformation of his form, the Blood Bat Commander finally completed his breakthrough, reaching Fourth Order Extraordinary.
The newly born Blood Bat Commander elegantly knelt on one knee, his scarlet pupils reflecting the figure on the throne: "By the grace of my Lord of the Abyss, I humbly request you bestow an eternal name upon my race."
Behind him, Lorraine's dried corpse was crumbling into dust in the wind, with only her unwilling soul falling into the Abyss, to suffer eternal torment.
Ye Chen gazed at the Blood Bat Commander's chiseled face, a handsomeness that surpassed mortals, yet imbued with the unique evil charm of the Abyss.
A smile curled at his lips: "From now on, your race shall be called the Blood Race."
"And you... shall be the progenitor of the Blood Race - Cain!"
Cain was ecstatic, knowing this was the Lord of the Abyss's recognition, and quickly expressed his loyalty.
He clenched a fist against his chest, his voice like a great bell: "I swear by the name of the progenitor of the Blood Race, the Blood Race shall forever be loyal to the Abyss, loyal to you!
We are willing to be the sharpest dagger in your hand, severing all those who defy you!"
Ye Chen nodded slightly, but a hint of coldness flashed in his eyes.
They were just a group of Devil Race, what loyalty could there be?
The price of betrayal was too heavy; he didn't want to bear it again.
Temporarily putting his thoughts aside, Ye Chen began to ponder Lorraine's method of punishment.
The other Devil Race didn't matter; they could just be broken down into soul fragments, but Lorraine, the main culprit, had to endure punishment.
This punishment should not only make Lorraine feel eternal pain but also allow future newly born dependents to witness the cruelty of the Abyss at any time.
After communicating with the Abyssal Will, an iron cage inscribed with ancient runes suddenly appeared, and Lorraine's ethereal soul was within the cage.
An Abyssal Fire Spirit suddenly appeared nearby, introducing a wisp of blasphemous fire seed into the cage.
The infernal flames immediately soared, enveloping Lorraine's soul.
Lorraine, who had originally looked numb, suddenly fell into the furnace, unable to help but let out a mournful wail.
This wisp of fire seed didn't cause significant damage to the soul, but the iron cage could amplify the pain countless times.
Inside the cage, Lorraine's eyes constantly flashed with scenes, precisely the tragic events that occurred in Kain City.
In these scenes, she became the perpetrator, participating in massacres from a first-person perspective.
One by one, vibrant lives slipped away in her hands; even the small, unknown village where she had stayed was not spared.
The village chief, the hunter, the little girl with flaxen hair... the fear, helplessness, and hope for life in their eyes constantly tormented Lorraine's heart.
Unfortunately, no matter what she did, she could not delay their deaths.
In the end, they turned into corpses, falling at her feet.
And her own hands were already stained with blood.
"No—!"
The constantly replaying scenes completely destroyed Lorraine's will.
Under the dual torment of soul and spirit, Lorraine quickly couldn't bear it and completely descended into madness.
Her mouth kept shouting: "I didn't do anything wrong, I was saving them!"
When Lorraine's spirit was on the verge of collapse, the cage glowed faintly, restoring her sanity to face a new round of torment.
Ye Chen's fingers gently tapped the throne, and the iron cage slowly rose into the air, finally suspending itself within the blood-red sun.
From now on, all beings of the Abyss would be able to see this tormented soul when they looked up, listening to its never-ending wailing.
After dealing with Lorraine, just as Ye Chen was about to leave, he heard Cain volunteer.
"Great Lord of the Abyss, I am willing to lead the Vampire Bats race to the Otherworld to sweep away all opposing forces for you."
Ye Chen pondered for a moment and agreed: "Then you shall lead this invasion war. All Blood Bats, Devil Race, and Worms will be under your command. I hope you do not disappoint me."
Cain was overjoyed, not expecting to receive such great authority.
If he could perfectly conquer the Otherworld, his position in the Lord of the Abyss's heart would be secure!
With the assistance of these Abyss Devil Race, taking down the Otherworld would be easy.
"All invaders participating, each must personally kill no less than a hundred native inhabitants. Remember, it must be a personal kill, understand?"
Ye Chen instructed indifferently.
Cain understood completely. This was both a test and a complete obliteration of the Devil Race's humanity.
He immediately responded: "I will have the Blood Bats monitor the entire process to ensure every Devil Race personally kills!"
Ye Chen nodded in satisfaction, tapped his finger lightly, and a passage opened in space, from which a bewildered Desert Dragon flew out.
"The high-level experts in this Otherworld invasion will be handled by the Dragon, but there are bound to be some who slip through the net. This Desert Dragon will stay by your side, awaiting your command."
The Otherworld continent is not like the God Domain; its area is extremely vast.
Who knows if there are any unknown experts living in seclusion there?
Although the Dragon is present and sufficient to suppress the Otherworld experts, the Dragon will not stay with the main army at all times.
Currently, the Abyss is severely lacking in "experts".
Apart from the Sixth Order Epic level Dragon, there is a gap in the Fifth Order... the Dragon just killed two Fifth Order Knights who are waiting to be resurrected.
These two Fifth Order Knights cannot be sent to the Otherworld for now. After all, it is their homeland, and it would not be strange for them to turn against him on the spot.
As for the Fourth Order, there are only Cain and the Desert Dragon.
Although the Desert Dragon is only Fourth Order Extraordinary, it is considered one of the few experts in the Abyss that can be presented.
Although Apophis and Beelzebub are only Third Order, they have the BOSS template and their strength is more formidable than the Desert Dragon.
Thinking of this, Ye Chen also had them take their respective subordinates to the Otherworld for a trip.
Apophis's mission is to monitor Cain, prevent him from having ulterior motives, and if necessary, directly reclaim command of the army.
Moreover, the fear generated by the massive number of humans in the Otherworld is extremely terrifying; if it could all be absorbed...
As for Beelzebub's mission, it was much simpler: follow the army, bring his fly army to eat, eat, eat, and act as battlefield cleanup.
Beelzebub's Snake-people subordinates are the highest-ranked troop, and having them makes this war more secure.
Apophis received the order, reluctantly roused himself from his comfort zone, and led his Banshees to the teleportation gate.
On Beelzebub's side, it was much more comfortable.
The Abyssal Will thoughtfully opened the teleportation gate beside him, and he could directly teleport away by simply twisting his body slightly.
The Snake-people Army also followed closely, holding the exclusive longswords crafted for them by the Dwarves.
Ye Chen looked at Beelzebub's increasingly bloated figure and shook his head helplessly.
If the position of Demon God could only be certified by one, he would have wanted Beelzebub to moonlight as the Demon God of Sloth.
His own experts were still too few. When could he invade an Undead plane and slaughter ten or eight Bone Dragons? That would be great.
Thinking of this, Ye Chen decided to have Zhou Mingjie pay attention for him and see if he could get a few Bone Dragons or high-level Undead creatures.
As for dependent cards, after becoming a demigod, he could indeed use Second Order dependent cards, but he had never heard of anyone's Bone Dragon being Second Order.
After this Otherworld invasion is completed, quite a few souls will be gained.
Those souls of late stage Third Order Great Knights, after being resurrected and strengthened by the Abyss, might have a chance to reach Fourth Order.
And those Earth Knights might be able to break through their shackles and reach Fifth Order during this time.
It's just that the loyalty of these Devil Race is always a problem.
It seems a way must be found to completely resolve this...
