157: Chapter 157 The Power of CreationHundreds of thousands of corpses exploded simultaneously, producing an unprecedented roar—a sound like an atomic bomb detonating right by one’s ear, striking everyone on the battlefield with immense force. Fortunately, the system had volume limits for players, so there was no need to worry about being deafened.

”What’s going on?”

”What happened?”

The Allied soldiers, who had originally been panicked by the endlessly Resurrection-ing demons, found themselves snapping out of their panic upon hearing the thunderous roar of the exploding corpses.

They experienced a truth firsthand: a single unpredictable event might cause panic, but when two happen simultaneously, the mind actually becomes clear.

”What are our casualties?”

Once the aftershocks of the explosion subsided, the Allied Commander-in-Chief, Noel, asked the soldier in charge of frontline communications about the casualties. Noel was one of the two hundred heroes; because The Seven Legends and the other heroes preferred to charge into battle, he acted as the Commander-in-Chief.

The communications soldier immediately read out the intelligence received: ”No Allied casualties. There were about fifty explosion sites, all far from our main forces.”

”What? Was this explosion caused by our own magic?”

”It cannot be confirmed at the moment.”

”Enemy losses?”

”About seven hundred thousand. The report says that because the explosion range was too wide, the margin of error is quite large.”

”It must be our army’s magic.”

Noel did not know who had triggered so many explosions, but upon hearing about the enemy’s losses, he dismissed the suspicion that ”the demons were targeting The Seven Legends”—no matter how strong The Seven Legends were, they weren’t worth trading seven hundred thousand undead troops for.

As for the Legendary Saintess and the next generation Saintess, they were far in the rear of the Allied forces and not within the range of the explosion.

But this was just Noel’s misconception.

Just as he thought, trading hundreds of thousands of undead troops for The Seven Legends was indeed not worth it, but the Necromancer Legion, or more accurately, Philip, had other plans.

”As expected, he didn’t die.” Philip watched Helm, who had fallen to the ground in a weakened state but was not dead, and muttered to himself. He bet that The Seven Legends had invincibility skills just like Fu Hao, so he planned the large-scale corpse explosion and borrowed the authority of two Demon Kings:

Transfer Authority (used to locate the scattered The Seven Legends) and Domain Authority (used to convert the invincible state into a weakened state).

He once thought that Domain Authority was the most useless—although it had a wide range, it could only convert the type of abnormal status and extend the duration of the abnormality. He didn’t expect it to become the key this time.

[”Helm” has been selected as the enslavement target.]

[The target is in a weakened state. Enslavement successful.]

[The enslaved target can be used as a ”slave.” Since there is no slave system, a new slave system has been opened for you.]

[New slave ”Helm” has been added to the slave system.]

[Remaining number of enslavements: 99.]

After enslaving Helm, Philip immediately used the Transfer Authority to rush to the locations of the other Legends.

Although Domain Authority had maximized the duration of the weakened state, considering the abnormal status resistance of The Seven Legends, he dared not delay. Eventually, before the effect ended, he successfully enslaved the other six Legends, except for the Legendary Saintess Elia.

[New slave ”Loki” has been added to the slave system.]

[New slave ”Coleman” has been added to the slave system.]

[New slave ”Urs” has been added to the slave system.]

[New slave ”Calus” has been added to the slave system.]

[New slave ”Mr. Antinus” has been added to the slave system.]

”Hehehe...” Philip looked at the six names in the slave system and smiled with satisfaction.

Although The Seven Legends were not as strong as the combined force of a hundred Demon Kings, they were human—even as slaves, Holy Power still provided them with buffs. For humanity, their combat power far exceeded that of a hundred Demon Kings.

”Stay hidden in the God Realm for the rest of your life, Fu Hao.”

Although Philip was still affected by the ”Growth Curse,” he no longer cared—being able to enslave The Seven Legends, what did his own power and growth matter?

”Go.”

He ordered the six new slaves to charge to the front lines. These Legends, who had once been the spiritual pillars of the Allied forces, faithfully executed the order and began slaughtering the Allied forces.

”Cough!”

”Run!”

When The Seven Legends, who should have been friendly forces, swung their swords at them, the Allied forces collapsed much faster than when they faced the endlessly Resurrection-ing demons. The betrayal of their spiritual pillars completely crushed their morale.

Patem had planned to annihilate humanity using monsters from the World Tree fruit, but he didn’t expect that due to the variable of Philip, humanity might perish without the monsters having to lift a finger.

”Is this really a bug?”

Fu Hao muttered to himself. He had already used ”Fates Luck” for the seventh time, strengthening Margo to +7. Seven times, a full seven times—the trigger probability of the sages ring should have been close to 50% due to his Luck attribute, yet it hadn’t triggered once.

He looked helplessly at Margo’s soul; the enhancement value remained unchanged.

”Do I have to wait until humanity is wiped out to strengthen it to +10?”

This terrifying thought made him shiver. Even if humanity perished, players might be able to survive, but a world without NPCs would be a mess: NPC quests would disappear, shops would close, and even long-distance Teleportation would be unusable.

”otherworld” was free enough that players could replace all functions of NPCs, but the time required to rebuild civilization was unimaginable, and most players would likely quit the game.

”If only I hadn’t provoked Philip...”

Fu Hao regretted driving Philip out of the Rowen Kingdom. Even without Philip, the God-Demon War might still have broken out, but the tragedy of the six Legends being enslaved would never have happened.

Among these six Legends, three could be called his ”God-tier equipment,” and now that they had been taken away, he felt as heartbroken as if he had been robbed of three top-tier pieces of equipment.

”Even if it reaches +10, so what? Can I really turn the tables by relying on two creation skills and Xiao Jin?”

The key was not the time it took to strengthen it to +10, but whether he could turn the tide of the battle on his own after returning. Although Xiao Jin was a recognized super-grade Summoned Beast, it had level limitations; it was also unknown how much effect Creation-grade skills could have in large-scale warfare.

Everything would only be revealed after Margo reached +10 and he obtained the creation skill. And this day came sooner than the pessimistic Fu Hao had expected.

”...Finally, I didn’t fail nine times in a row.”

Two weeks later, on his ninth attempt, the sages ring finally triggered—Margo was successfully strengthened to +10.

”The... curse has been lifted.”

He first confirmed that the ”Growth Curse” had disappeared, then, with anticipation and anxiety, he used ”Teaching of the Strong” on Margo, who had regained his physical body.

The long wait was not in vain; in Margo’s skill list, he found an ability capable of refreshing the ”Strongest Skill” list:

”Creation Authority!”

—It was the authority exclusive to the Creator, capable of creating new domains, and now it appeared in his hands in the form of a skill.
