Chapter 1182: Chapter 1169: The World’s Immune System Chapter 1182: Chapter 1169: The World’s Immune System “What is His Excellency doing?”

Radiant elemental light sparkled in the sky, stretching across tens of thousands of meters; aboard the ghost ship, it was not merely the undead that existed, similar to the Underworld God, that emitted an intimidating pressure, making it difficult to think amid it while also curiously watching.

“Who knows, it’s better if we just watch. It’s normal that we don’t understand what such beings wish to do.”

Unconsciously, following the powerful presence of the undead kneeling next to him, Exorcist Niyaji quietly responded, his heart now filled with awe towards that being who held high a scepter.

It was not just because of the reverential fear towards this god-like presence with a huge body, but also the worship of his powerful strength; yes, worship. Exorcist Niyaji, who had always harbored intense hostility towards all non-human beings, had never thought that one day he would want to worship a powerful non-human existence.

But the fact was just so; not long ago, as he and his friend were dragging their bodies, which hovered between life and death and might possibly be the greatest beings in the world, he was utterly subdued by this existence.

Master of death, protector of all the dead, this was the realization that surged in Niyaji’s heart when he saw Mureya’s Underworld God Incarnation; he directly deemed Mureya’s manifestation as a deity.

It wasn’t wrong to think this way; in fact, with the power held by Mureya’s Underworld God Incarnation, with just a thought, he could effortlessly ascend to godhood within this world, given that the world always held considerable tolerance towards all powerful beings who harbored no hostile intentions towards the future.

Of course, this could only happen after the integration of the two realms was complete. Now that the World Laws were turbulent, no matter how talented a being was, it would be impossible to ascend to godhood at this stage, unless he possessed the powerful strength to calm the World Laws, but such beings did not need to ascend to godhood.

“Although that’s said, I have a bad feeling. His Excellency did not make a move during the previous battle with the King of Evil Spirits, but now he’s stirring up a major conflict. It seems like something bad must’ve happened,”
Ingell quietly responded to his friend, not daring to talk loudly at the moment because he noticed a powerful undead next to them casting a disapproving “gaze” as they conversed.

“Cough, let’s talk some other time!” Realizing that more and more unfriendly “gazes” were being directed at them, the two exorcists quickly quieted down.

When they accidentally ended up on a deserted island, due to some unknown reasons that changed their bodies, the two exorcists were filled with despair about their future, only comforting each other and sustaining themselves on spiritual chicken soup.

But now things were different, they now saw hope of reverting to human form and returning to their homeland, and once there was hope, everything changed.

The exorcists who had been constantly trying to find ways to commit suicide became extremely cautious about preserving their lives, cowardly to a fault.

Thus, the two exorcists knelt prostrate on the deck, then stealthily observed the imposing Underworld God demonstrating his mighty power.

One after another, elemental runes condensed in the light emanating from the magic staff, profound and intricate, the tiny elemental runes floated in front of the Underworld God like a radiant star river, then forming a square portal.

Extremely astonishing spatial fluctuations occurred, and just as they were about to spread, the Underworld God extended a hand clad in black armor and gently pressed down, calming all the fluctuations, confined only within a hundred meters around him.

As the spatial fluctuations grew more intense, a completely integrated, circular portal formed, showing mountain ranges that stretched endlessly, vast clear lakes, lush forests… such sights flashed by,
Ultimately, what appeared within the portal was a well-disciplined army of giants, and above the Giant Legion, the impatient Five-Color Giant Dragons, these beings eager to unleash their destructive nature.

Then, a foot completely clad in armor stepped out from the space portal, following, a giant, entirely covered in armor, with no skin exposed, stepped through the space portal onto the death-qi-filled deck of the ghost ship.

The vast life force within the giant, like a blazing furnace, clashed starkly with everything around him enveloped in death qi, showcasing an immediate strong rejection reaction; thus, the fire of life within the giant manifested on his surface, resisting all encroaching death qi.

The giant, unconcerned about these anomalies, bowed respectfully to the avatar of the sovereign in front of him, then stepped back, clearing the portal behind him.

… When the tightly-ordered army of a hundred thousand giants traversed the space portal and appeared above the Ghost Fleet, what followed was the Battle Beast Legion, which had always slumbered within Mureya’s semi-plane and had never been awakened before.

These battle beasts, originally from his grandfather Akmonde, designed specifically for war, were now awakened by the murderous intent in Mureya’s heart, a million strong, similarly crossing the space portal to this special zone where two realms merged.

After these two main armies appeared, it was time for the Five-Colored Dragon Army, with the highest average individual combat strength but the poorest discipline, to make their appearance. Of course, this so-called lack of discipline was still within tolerable limits.

After all, those they were compared to were the inherently Order Faction giants and battle beasts specifically created for war. It was already quite impressive that the Five-Colored Dragons could be disciplined enough to follow orders through learned behavior.

“It should be enough now,” Muria said as she withdrew her support of the Space Gate. By now, the elemental light of her scepter had dimmed significantly.

“The destination of the Evil God’s Followers should lean toward the human world. Those big-eyed creatures will definitely take the opportunity to slaughter humans.”

…

“Now that you’ve transformed into non-human bodies, do you still insist on considering yourselves human? Are you still willing to protect humans and fight for the future of humanity?”

When Exorcists Niyaji and Ingell approached the great entity with a sense of awe and nervousness, they were met with this emotionless inquiry.

“Although I am no longer human, I am still willing to fight for humanity with this body,” Niyaji replied immediately, knowing that there could be no deceit before such an entity.

“Hmm, good. Since that is the case, let me tell you something concerning the survival of humanity!”

Muria nodded, having already decided that her avatar, the captain of the Ghost Fleet, would pose as a local native of the demonic realm, waiting for the opportunity to attack all the epic legions, especially targeting the Hundred-Eyed Evil God, and strike upon sight.

Her real Subordinate Army, summoned as a true epic legion, would do what such a legion should do, scouring for divine artifacts that emerged from the fusion of the two worlds, containing the laws. But that was the first goal; the second was to prioritize the annihilation of all Evil God’s Followers.

“Human survival?” Hearing Muria’s words, the two exorcists panicked immediately. Before encountering an entity like Muria, they had always believed that a race as evil as demons could not pose a significant threat to the entire human race.

However, upon witnessing the power Muria possessed, they realized that an entity like her had the vast power to erase entire human civilizations.

And when Muria mentioned the words “survival,” the two exorcists feared that this entity intended to act against human civilization. How could they not panic?

“Don’t overthink it; I have no interest in your human civilization. If it weren’t for unexpected circumstances, I wouldn’t have intervened in any matters concerning humans at all.”

Muria quickly perceived the soul waves the exorcists emitted, immediately understanding their thoughts. When the difference in life levels was so immense, weaker beings had no secrets before stronger entities.

“I can tell you very clearly that there is an entity, not weaker than I, leading a force not inferior to the fleet I command, lurking around your human civilization. Your human civilization is at risk of being wiped out at any moment.”

“This…” The sudden news baffled the two exorcists, who had just heard that the entity had no interest in humans and seemed not to intend to bother with them.

Yet they could not feel happy about this because this entity just told them that another being, just like her, was targeting humans. Who could withstand such a force?

“Don’t panic, and don’t be afraid. You humans are not alone; I will help you fight against this powerful evil, as I am absolutely in enmity with that being.”

“In light of that, what can we do?” The exorcists Niyaji, somewhat regaining his composure after the startling news, asked a crucial question.

The issue now involved the survival of racial civilizations, truly shocking, but why mention this to two exorcists? What could they do?

“There is much you can do,” Muria said, looking at the two half-human, half-undead beings. She saw a special light shimmering on them, which had just appeared.

And the approximate timing, Muria estimated, corresponded with the time the Evil God’s Army entered this world. In other words, the smooth entry of the Evil God’s Followers had already triggered the world’s immune system.

The two exorcists standing before her had been chosen by the world to combat the demon lord as “heroes,” though they were not aware of it themselves.

Being favored by the world’s destiny was not just mere luck; their own foundations were also strong, after all, they had survived the conflicting laws of two worlds.
