255: Take action

"My Lord, that's the situation."

After a lengthy report, Lin Ye had a better understanding of the current situation.

The Tiya People were indeed formidable; even when they tried to solve things themselves, and their material supply was affected, they still managed to suppress the Netherworld, making it lose ground inch by inch.

Due to the destruction of his territory, proselytizing became increasingly difficult, and with his followers being killed, Angus's progress was still hindered.

"Do you have specific progress?" Lin Ye inquired.

"Reporting, Inspector, no," the general replied.

Lin Ye knew he couldn't delay any longer; delays often lead to complications.

"Immediately mobilize forces and launch a full-scale assault."

Following Lin Ye's command, the Tiya People's army began to mobilize.

Resources that had been held back to avoid external detection were now continuously being dispatched to the front lines.

"I hope the Inspector will be lenient, considering our cooperation," the King of the Tiya People sighed.

Lin Ye's strength was enough to place him on equal footing, but he dared not provoke the forces behind Lin Ye, so he could only lower his proud head.

With the Tiya People's full commitment, the battle lines advanced quickly.

........

In a dead silent hall, a suffocating aura of Death permeated the air. A colossal and solemn idol stood majestically in the center, as if it were the ruler of this desolate land.

The idol was pitch black, carved so lifelike that every line depicted an unspeakable majesty and mystery. Its distorted, hideous face revealed a disregard for the living and a mastery over Death, sending shivers down one's spine.

The air around the idol seemed to have solidified; not a single breeze dared to disturb the silence here. Only a faint candlelight flickered, barely illuminating a small area at the idol's feet. The entire hall was shrouded in darkness, giving a sense of endless oppression.

Beneath the solemn and majestic idol, the atmosphere was exceptionally heavy. Angus, the Undead Monarch, and the Lord of Undead Scourge, three top-tier existences from the Undead world, gathered together. Undoubtedly, a monumental event was about to unfold…

These three respectively controlled different power blocks within the Undead realm. Among them, Angus was known for his unfathomable power of annihilation; the Undead Monarch possessed endless Life force and terrifying strength; as for the Lord of Undead Scourge, he was a formidable being who commanded the summoning of billions of Undead.

"Angus, the plan has changed. There's been a shift within the Tiya People, and their offensive has intensified. We don't have much time," said the Undead Monarch.

"Angus, how are the preparations for faith? Is it enough for you to break through? Delays can lead to complications. This change in the Tiya People may not be a good thing," said the Lord of Undead Scourge.

Angus had changed significantly compared to before; a divine essence could be seen in his eyes.

"The divine power accumulated by the idol is still a sliver short of igniting the divine flame. If we start rashly, everything will be ruined," said Angus.

"But even with more faith, the probability of igniting the divine flame remains the same, doesn't it?" said the Lord of Undead Scourge.

It's not that having enough faith guarantees the ignition of the divine flame; if it were, gods would be everywhere. It also requires one's own strength and that elusive destiny.

"Yes, we don't have much time left," the Undead Monarch worried.

The reason Angus was able to persuade him and the Lord of Undead Scourge was his promise to assist them both in becoming gods after his success.

This was a huge temptation for them. To ensure he wouldn't go back on his word afterward, the three even signed a strict Demon Contract.

"In that case, we can only take the risk."

The idol began to emit a dazzling gray light. It was difficult to describe gray as dazzling, but at this moment, it truly was.

Instantly, the world changed dramatically. Countless shades of gray enveloped the Netherworld's sky, and a subtle divine might made all living beings feel an urge to submit.

With the assistance of the celestial change, the Undead erupted with terrifying combat power.

"For the supreme Lord of Stillness!"

"Annihilation is about to restart the epoch!"

"Indestructible and Unextinguished, omnipotent Lord of Stillness, grant your humble followers strength to eliminate the enemies before us!"

On the Tiya People's side, however, there was a deathly silence. The process of becoming a god had begun.

"Immediately unleash all available forces to prevent Angus from becoming a god!" Lin Ye ordered, and he himself flew to the front line.

Under the amplification of the Infinity Gauntlet, several Dragon God Claws struck out, crushing a section of the Undead, and even the few high-level Star River cultivators who came to block him turned into dust.

Two figures stood in his way—the Undead Monarch and the Lord of Undead Scourge.

"The worm from before has become so powerful," the Undead Monarch and the Lord of Undead Scourge said with grave expressions.

They remembered Lin Ye's aura.

"However, you still cannot break through our defenses."

The two cooperated; the Undead Monarch held him back and absorbed damage, while the Undead Monarch began to activate the summoning array he had already prepared.

Abomination, Abomination, still Abomination.

When three Abominations appeared on the battlefield, all living beings couldn't help but gasp.

Lin Ye's expression was cold. Law Manifestation of Heaven and Earth, Undying and Imperishable Spiritual Energy Chapter, Dragon Transformation, Domain.

The Undead Monarch also began to grow, reaching a height of eight hundred meters. Just as he was about to use his Domain, he was suppressed by Lin Ye's three-Domain Fusion.

Waves of shock surged in his heart; his Undead Law was already perfected.

Two Lin Yes appeared beside him; they were his clones.

Dragon God Claw.

When the Dragon God Claw, a combined effort of the main body and the clones, was unleashed, the world was solidified. The power of the heavens seemed to have converged into this single claw.

The Undead Monarch was terrified, frantically using the power of faith to activate his divine artifact—the Undying Armor.

But the disparity was too great. The Undying Armor, which amplified defense by four thousand times, could not withstand Lin Ye's nearly dominant strike.

Undead Monarch—Destroyed.

Abomination x 3—Destroyed.

When it reached the Lord of Undead Scourge, the giant claw had still not consumed much energy.

Lord of Undead Scourge—Destroyed.

The giant claw, still with residual power, slammed towards Angus's place of godhood ascension.

A shield of stillness enveloped the hall, but the shield only lasted for an instant.

Boom~

A heaven-shaking energy wave spread, annihilating everything. Even the soldiers on the distant front lines were affected.

"What is this? How can it be so terrifying?"

"Is this the Inspector's power?"

"Undead are unextinguishable, Soul is immortal, the dead will eventually return to the human world."

Countless people and Undead perished in this wave; the dense Youming Fire proved the terrifying combat power of this strike.

Lin Ye gasped for breath, recalling his clones.

Domain Skill—Dragon God Claw, once again displayed its terrifying might.

After modifying it, Lin Ye's Dragon God Claw was no longer limited to a full-power burst; it could also be used in a 'castrated' manner.

What allowed it to advance further, however, was the moment Lin Ye understood the abnormal destructive power of the Time and Space Laws.

Transforming the Time and Space power, originally used for confinement, into Time and Space tearing, gave birth to the current world-destroying Dragon God Claw.

"Now, you should be dead."
