Chapter 336 (2/2)

Unlikeabout the basic nature and foundation of things, redients that they could see and touch They believed that better quality undead er undead creatures And this wasn’t wrong at all, even according tosoul to require a strong physical body to wield its pohile gentlemanly—er—healthy souls required healthy bodies to hold them Otherwise, there would most likely be problems But this definitely wasn’t all there was to undead construction!

A Legendary corpse would be able to create Legendary undead, but this didn’t end’s corpse, or even a corpse of a higher level, to be created Yet ales considered this as common sense, indisputable and truistic

But if you went by the classic method of undead creation, then it would be iraveyard demons, ere 99 constructed out of the earth eleraveyard de desecration auras, astonishi+ng coth, and were even able to replenish and help the undead to recover? Nor was there any way to explain the source of its supernatural powers

Perhaps undead raveyard deraveyard would undoubtedly be only a randoeraveyard could create such an incredibly powerful top-level undead, then ould we still need undead es? This type of ansas nothing more than irony

However, my more unique field, undead construction, could explain it quite clearly This was also why I was so interested in graveyard deh will be able to control such a for soraveyard deence—no—I should say that it doesn’t possess any e whatsoever It’s basically like a newborn baby, a blank soul, yet it’s newly-born at a rank above Legends Inexplicable”

Naturally, this caused me to recall the River Styx, which was able to make souls reincarnate After numerous experiments, I arrived at a conclusion which was likely closest to the truth

This soul wasn’t a single existence that rested in the graveyard Instead, it was an aamation of the countless soul shards left behind by all the dead within it This entire graveyard’s earth was the graveyard de to it was born from this body

Perhaps the final conclusion seemed coical:

Under the long-tery, the typical condition of “life changing into death” was reversed The corpses laying in the graveyard became the catalyst for transformation, while the earth filled with the bodies co All the souls in the graveyard coether into a new, collective will This soul was hence a newborn, which hy it was blank It required tirow into ht then Even if I learned the basic foundational reason for why a graveyard de in it? Graveyards that were over one hundred years old were relatively rare, and there were still many unknowns in how ether and form a collective will It was still iraveyard demons

Still, a person would only be third-rate at best if they could only copy theat the blueprint True researchers would be able to change the original blueprint based on their fundae If there were insufficient redients could be found It would even be possible to create soinal

“The forraveyard deative energy has to gather into a relatively independent form Second, many independent souls are required In a way, an undead arether matches these basic requirements An undead army is a complete military unit, which also possesses countless independent soul shards”

Of course, this alone was far too insufficient There were still too raveyard deether wouldn’t fulfill the prerequisites for giving birth to a collective will, which hy I did a little trick

“Does this gravestone contain the soul for that newly-born graveyard demon?”

“No, no It’s only Little Three’s soul shard, a small portion I cut off for experimentation A complete Little Three isn’t actually that useful as he already has his own physical body But this incomplete soul shard before us is different It desires to be cooal It will becoiant!” [3]

All undead were connected to each other Undead Emperors controlled the Undead Lords, Undead Lords used soul contracts to control high-level undead, and high-level undead, in turn, controlled large amounts of low-level undead subordinates In concept, this was, indeed, a soul net This graveyard demon would be one of the mainstays of an undead army

If you viewed an undead army as a body, then each member was a cell It was just that each cell had its own independent will But if one day a collective as born, which could order its cells to listen to its co the cells to lose their independent wills—ould happen?

The current “Little Three” was that collective will What I did was quite simple: I told him that the entire undead army was his physical body, that the soul net between the undead was his bloodstream and nerves, and that it was time for him to awaken!

“He’s awakened and needs a physical body, a sufficient aathered for him He also needs all his cells to orderly enter a procession according to his will He’s a pre in many areas He wants… to be born!”

I didn’t know just what es had happened to Little Three, just as how nobody truly understood how babies obtained their own independent wills and souls Just what mysterious forces were at work behind this? All I did was fulfill the requirements for such a phenomenon to occur, and it indeed occurred However…

“…Honestly, I didn’t knoould result from this experiment But don’t you think that it’s precisely the unknown that’s ? Experi It’s only the unknown that allures people theas this works, my undead construction will have yet another new research result!”

And I had now obtained round, an undead army came alive as it cleared away impurities within its body and perfected its soul and physical body It ordered his own bloodstreaans to listen to its commands as it crafted a perfect body for itself

The undead had blank expressions as they walked together, devouring and co with each other They couldn’t—and wouldn’t—resist, just like how a physical body would be unable to resist an order from the soul Only the powerful individuals in the undead arh to have Soul Imprints were temporarily able to maintain their own senses of self However, this only caused the collective will to prematurely come to them and transforher-level undead were also a part of this army, it was only natural for the born As the , I had so many records to write, while my mind was battered with countless flashes of inspiration I felt as if I itnessing yet another excellent creation being born And since this creation was an aamation of an army meant for war, I intended to call him “Mars of War” [4]

Perhaps only Saint-ranked undead, who had their own Soul Worlds, wouldclassified by Mars as a part of the ar at how one unlucky Saint-ranked Undead Lord had becoht not be sufficient

Of course, refusing Mars’ su was actually quite easy All an undead needed to do was tell itself that it wasn’t part of the undead army, that it was an outsider Mars would then be unable to classify that undead as a part of his physical body

But it was a pity—as long as I didn’t tell anyone, not a single undead would ever think of it

This was indeed quite unreasonable But, to use an analogy froinal world, if soe, heavythrough the air, then that person would surely be treated as soly unreasonable phenomena were simply because insufficient research had been performed on the topic Experiic behind the result If I truly succeeded with this experiment, then I would likely be able to theorize the reason for every step of the process that occurred I would definitely obtain many benefits

“Um… have you ever considered how to deal with hiives me the chills Aren’t you worried you’ll be unable to control hi”

“You have a completed control mechanism? How did you do it? When did you do it?”

“…I should say that since I have absolutely no idea how to control him, I never intended to control him in the first place Will a normal parent plan out their child’s future when the child was just born? Let hi from his appetite, he’ll be quite a healthy child”

[He’ll definitely be healthy, but everyone else would beco like an idiotic parent who’s proud that his naughty child is hyperactive! Can’t you just self-reflect even a little? When not even born fully, he already ate a Saint-ranked undead for his nutrition Have you ever considered what type of h-level undead is clearly y Have you ever considered how strong this undead army physical body of his that’s filled with numerous Undead Lords will become in the end? Combined with the souls, his poill increase exponentially! He’ll be alth! Have you ever considered that there’s a 99 chance that he’ll run out of control? I’ve long since told you that if you don’t stop using undead construction, you’ll destroy the world! System Notification: 5 Justice Points have been deducted forservice There is no need to thank me Oh, and do you think it’d be better next time if I use ALL CAPS to roar at you?]

Harloys also nodded with a calotten used to hoas

“…Your Highness, you will definitely destroy this world sooner or later”
