Global Lords: Hundredfold Increments Starting With the Undead
Chapter 1386 - 959, Undead Infected by Divine Power

Piles of skeletons filled the view.

It resembled a large chaotic graveyard with no end in sight.

"The dead seem to have been drained of their flesh and blood," Dong Jiayue said beside him.

Considering the description from the mission, one's first thought is that it's related to the awakening deity.

Fu Lei thought for a moment and said, "Our mission is to prevent the deity from awakening, while the task of the guardian army is to protect the deity; surely, they can't be killing their own people."

What he meant was, if the awakening deity killed off all the guardian army, there would be no subordinates left to protect it from any future enemies.

Kim Zhi He, who rarely spoke, thought for a moment and then shared her own thoughts, "It might not necessarily be killing the guardian army, it could be that it's absorbing the flesh of the dead or severely wounded. If the deity could actively kill and absorb, the rebel alliance would stand no chance of victory."

With this reasoning, the rest of them found it sensible.

Obviously, the Tyrant God at the moment cannot actively kill, otherwise who could resist a deity.

Fearing even the rebel alliance could not be formed as they would be killed by the deity.

So, it is very likely that the two armies fought here.

The severely wounded and dead were absorbed and turned into nutrients.

This explanation was quite convincing.

"Kim Zhi He's analysis makes sense, but the current situation is still disadvantageous for us," Fang Hao said.

"How so?" Di Ning Ning asked.

"Think about it. This happened before we arrived, which means the Tyrant God was already absorbing energy to awaken. By the time we fight and a few more die, perhaps the Tyrant God would revive immediately," Fang Hao explained his thoughts.

The rest were stunned.

Which means, the awakening of the Tyrant God did not start with the rebel alliance entering the third stage.

But rather, in the narrative, it had already been gathering energy before.

Maybe now the energy has already gathered to eighty or ninety percent, and once the rebel and guardian armies clash, killing thousands or tens of thousands.

The Tyrant God might just resurrect immediately.

Although it makes sense in the narrative, it is still unfair for the rebel alliance.

"That's really unfair, the guardian army has all the advantages," Di Ning Ning said indignantly.

"That's just the story setting. The underlings resisting the authority are naturally facing various challenges, so fairness doesn't really apply," Fang Hao said.

Transmigrators always like to judge everything in this world based on balance.

But the truth is, both factions and races vary in strength.

Even among the same tier units, some can fly and some naturally have scale armor.

Therefore, this world doesn't really follow a notion of balance.

In the past world, people often said that the only fair thing about God is that everyone will die.

Here, some people just never die and stay young forever.

"What do we do next?" Dong Jiayue asked softly.

Although the scouts checked and said there was no danger.

But the scene still made people feel something was off.

Hiding some special danger.

"Have a few people go in and check."

With a wave of his hand to the back, nearly a hundred soldiers, keeping a distance, entered the area covered with white bones.

Carefully, they looked around continuously.

...

In the center of the city, inside a grand and towering temple.

Savana, along with several Alliance Hierarchs of the major alliances, stood at the center of the hall, their brows tightly furrowed as they looked ahead.

In front of them, on the stone platform, two huge humanoid statues kneeled on one knee, heads bowed and arms raised above their heads.

At the junction of the palms of the two statues, there was a human-shaped object wrapped in muscles.

The white muscles still visibly pooling with blood.

In the eyes of the transmigrators, a number also appeared above, 67%.

"Very good, it's already sixty-seven percent. Regardless of whether it's nourished by flesh and blood or not, just dragging out the time will complete the mission," the Alliance Hierarch of the Angel Dust Alliance said with a smile.

Angel Dust Alliance is an alliance of the human faction; although not as famous as those on the leaderboard, it is still well known.

"Looking at it now, it indeed seems beneficial for us," the leader of the Blood Clan's Resurrected Thirteen Alliance also said.

Resurrected Thirteen Alliance belongs to the Blood Clan area.

It didn't have much of a reputation before, but recently the Blood Clan began to expand their members, and many transmigrators in the alliance turned into Blood Clan members.

Their strength also rapidly increased.

In terms of factions, Angel Dust and Resurrected Thirteen should be at odds.

However, among the transmigrators, there isn't much conflict between the two sides, they even discuss each other's alliance matters when they meet.

"In that case, can we allocate some to hunt down those rebels, it would make the battle quicker," someone from Angel Dust Alliance said.

Fighting and killing score points much faster than standing in the city moving boxes and setting traps.

"Forget it, there are quite a few formidable people on the other side, let's just secure this place and complete this third stage first," the leader of the Thirteen immediately turned down his suggestion.

Speaking of formidable people, Savana took over the conversation: "Actually, I'm still a bit puzzled."

"Oh? Ms. Savana, do you have any concerns?" someone asked.

"I'm curious, seeing that the guardian army has more advantages, why did Aerygon and 'Cleolando' insist on choosing the rebel alliance," she said.

She had contacted the two.

And had analyzed the pros and cons of the guardian and rebel armies.

But they still chose the rebel alliance, which baffled her to this day as to why.

"They want to compete with us? Or perhaps they don't believe the claims about the guardian army's advantages, planning to use the rebel army to win," the leader of the Thirteen guessed.

"Possibly, but I feel there might be other reasons, so we still need to be careful," Savana said.

The leader of the Thirteen laughed, "If Fang Hao were alive, there might still be some hope, but now…, whether he is dead or really in the transformation ceremony, as long as he's not in the mission, he can't change anything."

The others standing nearby did not speak.

...

In the rebel army.

Over a hundred scouts advanced a few hundred meters.

They stopped and began looking around.

Apart from the eerie atmosphere, nothing else untoward occurred.

Just when the Scout waved his hand in this direction, signaling that there was no danger.

Suddenly, the ground began to tremble, and intense dust clouds rose like huge waves to several meters high.

In an instant, everyone's vision was obscured, even the Scouts inside were engulfed by the dust.

Sure enough, there was danger.

A similar thought arose in everyone's mind.

If it were outside, it might indeed be like a chaotic burial mound, or bones left after a massacre.

But this is the Task Space, and the sudden appearance of a creepy site surely meant something was about to happen.

The dust spread rapidly, engulfing everything around it.

Soon after, there came the dense friction of bones and the painful wailing of the Scouts.

Fang Hao's vision had been enhanced, far superior to ordinary people and even Demigod-tier heroes.

Through the thick dust, he could see the dense White Bones moving, as if attracted by some force, converging towards the center.

And in the middle of the bones, a large monster made of White Bones was quickly forming.

The few Scouts had already been enveloped by the White Bones and disappeared.

This way of assembling skeletons was somewhat similar to the Thousand-Leg Priest encountered in the desert.

All made up of White Bones.

"Everyone, retreat!" Fang Hao decisively ordered.

Everyone's expression froze as they started to discern the direction and moved backward.

While the mass of people retraced their steps,

The heavy clouds of dust fell like waves, disappearing from view.

In front, a human-shaped Skeleton Monster, made up of various bones, appeared.

Countless arms, heads, and legs.

Unlike the Hundred-Armed Giant, the Skeleton Monster in front had no relation to humans, entirely composed of bones randomly.

Witnessing the towering and terrifying Skeleton, the transmigrators let out cries of alarm.

Dark Gold Hero.

There was actually a Dark Gold Hero placed here for the task.

It was fortunate that Fang Hao had issued commands in advance, allowing everyone time to retreat at the start.

Otherwise, the battle might have already begun.

"Leader Fu Lei, what should we do? Shall we detour around, and come back after we've passed this section?"

"With such a large troop, it's a bit difficult to divert around."

"If we lose too many people, the future battles will be hard to fight too."

Confronted with the situation in front of them, many transmigrators began to argue.

This is why a leader is needed.

Without a leader, everyone would have different opinions and it would be hard to maintain the team.

They might even be directly eliminated after the first battle.

People spoke and argued.

The Skeleton Monster opposite, after absorbing the last pile of White Bones, had its skeleton heads all turn in this direction in unison.

This moment, an immense pressure shrouded all the rebels.

Di Ning Ning, Kim Zhi He, and some other female transmigrators in the team, all had pale faces filled with terror.

Now, even diverting around was impossible, as they had been noticed by the monster.

Without waiting for everyone to respond,

The Skeleton Monster's numerous heads began to shake violently,

with the thick bone legs composed of numerous leg bones moving swiftly, rushing towards them rapidly.

"Should we run? It's charging over here."

"Damn, what do we do, too biased in favor of the defending army."

People cried out.

Fang Hao, gazing forward, ignored the women clutching at his clothes and hiding behind him, and softly commanded, "Prepare for the Lightning Strike!"

Huh-huh!!

The front row of four-armed skeletons, grasping thunder spears, aimed forward.

"Enemy target in front, fire!"

Huh!!

Two hundred thunder spears howled out, targeting the figure ahead.

Boom!

Numerous thunder spears exploded, Thunder Snakes scattering, and the dazzling thunder light instantly enveloped the Skeleton Monster.

Whirr-whirr!

The tall and robust Giant, its body dropping countless White Bones.

But it was only slightly hindered.

Once the effect of the lightning dissipated, it immediately started running towards them again.

"Spread out, fight, just kill it," Fang Hao shouted loudly.

Upon Fang Hao's command, everyone sprang into action.

Melee infantry entered combat mode, ranged troops directly retreated to the dense forest on both sides.

Double-Headed Corpse Dragon rose from the ground, circling in the air.

As the Skeleton Monster approached, bullets and dense arrows shot out from the woods.

Like a swarm of bees, they directly struck the monster's body.

Whirr-whirr!

The enormous force caused the monster's body to pause.

Chunks of broken bones fell once again.

What?

Its rank was declining.
