254: Thunder

Lin Ye took out his Inspector's badge, a privilege he rarely used.

The Tiya People clearly didn't recognize it, but in a technological society, one scan immediately revealed his rank.

"So it's Inspector Lin Ye, my apologies, please come in," the staff member said hurriedly, not expecting it to be the recently popular Inspector Lin Ye.

"Mm," Lin Ye followed behind the staff member.

Upon learning of the Inspector's arrival, the various minor leaders panicked. This wasn't a low-martial society where the emperor was far away and a mighty dragon couldn't suppress a local snake.

This was a world where great power was concentrated in one person. Every Inspector was the most formidable force themselves, not to mention the Galaxy Lord backing them.

"Sir, may I ask what brings you here?" the minor leader wiped his sweat.

"You have such audacity. You didn't even inform the Galaxy Territory about such a huge change occurring in the Underworld," Lin Ye began with a show of dominance.

Coupled with his powerful aura, the minor leader and the staff members were greatly alarmed.

"Sir, it's not our fault. Our superiors ordered us to conceal it," the minor leader couldn't bear such a heavy burden and immediately spilled all the details of the change.

Lin Ye frowned. Although he had anticipated it, the facts laid bare before him still made him quite annoyed.

"Report to the Galaxy Territory immediately, request support, and also, take me to the Underworld," Lin Ye commanded.

The leadership on duty immediately sprang into action.

Passing through the Star Gate, the Underworld was still the same as before, only much more desolate. The vast, endless plains no longer had wandering spirits.

"Sir, approximately fifty years ago, Angus, the monarch of the Kamos Kingdom, heavily promoted the doctrines of the Annihilation Church. Initially, we thought this was just an ordinary church development, but we didn't expect it to be his conspiracy to achieve godhood. Thirty years ago, we launched a War against him, but somehow, the Undead Empire and the Undead Scourge allied with Angus," the minor leader explained.

"So you've been in a stalemate for thirty years because of that?" Lin Ye's voice rose a few octaves.

The minor leader smiled bitterly and nodded.

To prevent the outside world from noticing, they sold all the spoils of War they obtained to the outside, claiming that the defensive facilities near the Star Gate were undergoing repairs, and those who needed resources could purchase them themselves.

After satisfying market demand, no one delved into the reasons, as each race had high autonomy.

Lin Ye arrived at the front lines, where the Tiya People were engaged in War with the undead.

The Tiya People were strong and robust, with astonishing recovery abilities, while the undead were fearless and skilled in close combat.

The armies intertwined like a meat grinder.

It wasn't that the Tiya People didn't have artillery or rune weapons, but they had all been depleted over the years.

To avoid external suspicion, they hadn't mobilized weapon resources on a large scale.

"If you just give us five more years, we will be able to reach their capital," said Mutuen, the great general of the Tiya People.

At this moment, he stood at the highest point of the city wall, looking down on everything.

"Report~! General, an Inspector has arrived!" The messenger soldier, after receiving the news, reported it to Mutuen.

Mutuen stiffened. "What?"

The soldier relayed the entire story of Lin Ye's arrival and his identity information.

"It's over," was Mutuen's first thought. Lin Ye's arrival was not good news for them.

"Go quickly and welcome him," Mutuen decided immediately. Since the cat was out of the bag, how to clean up the mess was what needed to be done now.

......

Lin Ye waited for Mutuen in the command tent. His status was enough to sit on equal footing with some racial kings, so he naturally had the right to sit there.

"Inspector Lin Ye, I apologize for not coming out to meet you sooner," Mutuen pushed open the command tent and smiled obsequiously.

"You Tiya People are really something. You dare to conceal such a big matter," Lin Ye glared at Mutuen.

"Such a small matter doesn't need to alarm the Galaxy Territory. We Tiya People can solve it ourselves. Aren't we about to suppress it already?" Mutuen said with an embarrassed smile.

"How audacious of you!" Lin Ye slammed the table, shattering the entire tent.

The aura he emitted was so powerful that even Mutuen, a Star River Peak expert, dared not speak.

Mutuen's expression changed. "Inspector, each race has autonomy. We are merely exercising our rights."

Facing Lin Ye, who had suddenly turned hostile, he no longer bothered to be polite. Moreover, this was the Tiya People's territory; even if you were a Dragon, you'd have to lie low here.

"Hmph, your words have violated the laws of the Galaxy. Any matter involving a god must be reported, yet you knowingly withheld information and concealed the facts. Go explain yourself to the Galaxy Supreme Court," Lin Ye's aura changed dramatically. Liquid armor covered his entire body, and the might of his three-domain Fusion instantly enveloped everything around him.

Dragon God Claw, a colossal claw emerged. It was Lin Ye's full-strength strike.

Facing such a terrifying blow, the Tiya People had no time to react.

Mutuen was horrified, fully unleashing his own strength, but against Lin Ye, it was like trying to put out a fire with a cup of water, or a mantis trying to stop a chariot.

"No~"

The colossal claw closed, forming a claw-shaped cage that firmly imprisoned Mutuen.

"General."

"General."

........

The soldiers cried out, but being confined by the domain, they were almost completely slowed down, powerless.

"Mutuen has been captured and awaits judgment. If you remain stubborn, I don't mind arresting you one by one," Lin Ye's eyes were like electricity, scanning his surroundings.

Facing such immense power, the soldiers revered him like a god.

"We await the Inspector's command," a quick-witted one immediately swore allegiance.

Legally, an Inspector had the authority to mobilize any army, even those of various races.

"We await the Inspector's command."

"We await the Inspector's command."

........

The voices of tens of millions of soldiers came.

"Soldiers, retreat. Generals, quickly report the situation," Lin Ye commanded.

Changing generals during a battle was a military taboo, let alone the capture of the main general. Its severity was no less than Qin Hui and Yue Fei.

But facing Angus's impending godhood, Lin Ye no longer had time to wait.

Even if he slowly brought this army under control, what then? Against a god, they were vulnerable.

"Damn it, I should have killed Angus back then," Lin Ye thought to himself.

He had initially thought that since he had killed so many of Angus's followers, Angus's plan to become a god had failed, so he hadn't bothered with it further. He thought he would come back to 'harvest the leeks' when he had the strength to destroy them, but he didn't expect Angus to vigorously spread his faith, and the other two empires even cooperated with him.

That would have been one thing, but what was unexpected was that when the Tiya People learned of this situation, they didn't follow the usual procedures. Instead, they unexpectedly decided to conceal the truth and try to solve the problem themselves. This action was truly beyond Lin Ye's expectation. He just knew there would always be such scoundrels holding things back.
