All Gods: Starting with Two Families

Chapter 69 The War of the NecromancersThe cruel Bloody Arena arrived as promised.

Endless Bone Sea Crystal Wall System, Necromancy Temple.

Upon a massive throne built from hundreds of millions of pale skulls, the Lich God, shrouded in ghastly green Soul Fire, tapped the armrest with his knuckles, producing a hollow echo.

”Greed is the original sin, yet it is also the driving force.”

The Lich God’s voice was bone-chillingly cold, devoid of any emotion. ”The flesh and Souls of orcs are excellent resources. Go, my children, harvest to your heart’s content!”

”Use their skeletons to strengthen our kingdom; let Death be their only destination.”

...

Abyssal Molten Fire Crystal Wall System, Demon Altar.

By the roaring lava lake, an Abyssal Lord with giant horns and lava patterns covering its body let out a deafening, wild laugh, spewing the scent of sulfur.

”Roar! Tear those beasts apart! Drink their blood! Devour their divinity!”

As its massive claws swept through the air, it seemed to already see the bloody feast. ”Remember! The victors will receive the Abyss’s blessing! The losers... even their Souls will become fuel! For destruction and revelry! Kill!”

...

Roaring Forest Crystal Wall System, Orc Royal Court.

The Sheep God stood side-by-side with several other Formal Deities, looking down at the sparse but determined projections of over a hundred Reserve Deities.

”Children,” the Sheep God’s voice, shedding its usual gentleness, was filled with hatred, ”the humiliation suffered by the orcs must be repaid with blood!”

His massive sheep horns emitted a faint light, and together with the other deities, he triggered the ancient contract. ”Bloody Arena... open!”

Cold, deathly silent rules tightened suddenly like invisible shackles!

Zhou Zheng felt his Divine Thought forcibly pulled away and compressed by a tyrannical force. In the next moment, he found himself within the phantom of a massive gladiator arena shrouded in blood-red light.

[Bloody Arena, First Match, Connection Established!]

An emotionless rule message blasted into the consciousness of all participants.

Immediately after, a tearing pain came from the edge of his Divine Realm!

His Divine Realm was forcibly torn open by the arena’s rules, and a distorted, unstable spatial channel suddenly formed, violently connecting with another Divine Realm permeated with thick Death Qi and resentment!

Zhou Zheng’s own Divine Thought was forcibly condensed and materialized, turning into a giant, brilliant crystal swirling with blood-red light, standing in the center of the temple.

He could perceive everything and command with his thoughts, but that vast Divine Power was locked tight within the crystal, unable to be used at all.

”This aura... it should be the Necromancy God System!” Zhou Zheng instantly sensed the familiar fluctuations surging from the other end of the channel and snorted coldly in his heart.

His thoughts turned rapidly: ”Hawkeye Squad, immediately scout the situation on the other side of the channel!”

A squad of Storm Hawkmen streaked into the channel like lightning, returning moments later with intelligence—as far as the eye could see, there were only pale bones!

Countless Skeleton Soldiers, like a rolling tide of Death, were surging forward with a clattering sound, their eerie green Soul Fires converging into a heart-palpitating ocean.

”A skeleton sea? Trying to wear me down?” Zhou Zheng instantly saw through the opponent’s intention.

He still had a second match to fight; he absolutely could not be dragged to Death in the first battle!

”Elemental Naga Legion, vanguard attack! Purification Light, cover fire!”

Nearly two thousand Elemental Nagas surged into the spatial channel like a brilliant rainbow torrent.

Their arms danced and incantations were chanted as the power of the seven elements converged into a pure, warm, milky-white holy glow, illuminating the gray bone wasteland like the rising sun!

Sizzle—!

Wherever the white light passed, the skeleton army was like snow meeting a blazing sun; their bones rapidly melted and disintegrated, and their Soul Fires vanished after let out shrill screams.

Swaths of skeletons turned into bone meal, and the first wave of the offensive collapsed instantly.

At the other end of the channel, the Necromancy Deity hidden within a black crystal let out a low growl of surprise and suspicion.

”Pure light? No... it’s a clumsy imitation of multiple elements! You dare to desecrate Death?! Rise, my warriors, and tear them apart!”

Seeing that human-sea tactics were ineffective, the Necromancy Deity quickly adjusted its combat method.

Scattered bone meal and unextinguished Soul Fires converged frantically. Accompanied by the tooth-gritting sound of bones snapping together, a massive, terrifying existence pieced together from countless bone fragments suddenly took shape—a giant Bone Dragon over a hundred meters long!

Two massive green Soul Fires burned in its eye sockets, emitting a suffocating pressure. It looked up to the sky and let out a silent roar as Death Dragon Breath spewed forth!

”Feel the true power of Death! Ants!” The Necromancy Deity’s thoughts were filled with cruel pleasure. ”Become new skeletons before my Bone Dragon!”
