It was almost November.
With the arrival of the new year, the disaster of the undead finally broke out completely.
The Northwind City in the Frost Kingdom was breached by the Dragon Lich, and more than 100,000 people were slaughtered by the undead. When she heard the news, the angry Princess Royal directly froze hundreds of thousands of undead. But it was too late. The souls of the mortals seemed to have been taken away by some evil force, and the underworld did not welcome these victims. The same thing was happening all over the continent. Far away in the Eastern Kingdom, the 'Boat of the Desert', was also attacked by the evil ancient mummies. A large number of innocent civilians were killed, and their souls mysteriously disappeared.
There was a great change in the underworld!
After Klemvaux was seriously injured and disappeared, Naruto did a very bold thing.
He opened a passage and linked his kingdom to the underworld. Then a war broke out between his servants and Klemvaux's servants.
This war undoubtedly ended with Naruto's victory. Without the support of Klemvaux, his servants could not resist at all. Soon, the source of the underworld, the palace of the 'Nether Sea', was directly occupied by Naruto. Klemvaux almost completely lost control of the underworld, and now the only surviving thing was the kingdom attached to the underworld. At the same time, many undead kings began to appear in the underworld. Owo the Immortal blatantly plundered souls from the underworld and turned them into undead. Many spellcasters attached to the spiritual world and the underworld also turned into Liches one by one.
But.
What was puzzling was that Jergal did not seem to care about the drastic changes in the underworld, and Naruto did not disturb Jergal's palace at all.
Jergal was still recording the deaths.
But this time, his followers seemed to have begun to record more deaths, not only of creatures but also of the world.
The series of upheavals accelerated the conflict in the material plane. In order to protect the souls of their believers, the gods almost no longer relied on the Death Pantheon. They sent out their own oracles from another world to be responsible for guiding the souls. And without the watch of the Death Pantheon, in the situation of the outbreak of the undead, the demons, devils, and demons of the lower planes took the opportunity to plunder souls.
The most obvious manifestation.
It was in the third layer of the Abyss, the Forgotten Land, that the Balor Demon Leader soon found that there were more Night Witches and Hags with Abyss Worms. Even the Yugoloths were no longer in the business of ferrying the Styx. On the contrary, they began to sell cheap souls. Most of them were ordinary people, not professionals. The order of the entire Underworld was in chaos. The Soul Stealers began to blatantly harvest souls. Due to the turmoil in the Underworld, drastic changes occurred in the Rift Plain and Baator Hell in just half a month. The number of low-level demons and devils that were converted had increased explosively.
The underworld had always restricted the number of souls entering the underworld.
But now, this restriction was gone. While the undead were crazily snatching souls, the demons and devils took the opportunity to fish in troubled waters.
At this moment!
In the sixth tributary of the underworld, which ran through the five layers of the Abyss, it was originally guarded and maintained by Klemvaux's Servants of Death, but now there was no one here.
Naruto did not intend to manage the Styx now.
He sent all his Servants of Death to the battle, and the tributary here became the battlefield of the demons and the evil [Soul Stealers]. They frantically plunder souls from here. At the same time, because of the loss of the divine power of Death, the chaotic nature of the Abyss began to break out.
A subconsciousness filled with violence and chaos was eroding the Nether River.
In the endless meandering Styx, the river that ran through the entire lower plane seemed to be interfered with by some chaotic force, and the souls floating in it would disappear every once in a while.
At the same time.
Somewhere in the first ten layers of the Abyss, a new Abyss Worm would quickly appear.
Crimson Flat.
This was the territory of the Balor Demon Leader Sauron, and it was also a special area close to the tributary of the Styx.
Recently, some changes began to happen here.
This change was still very short, about a week or so. When Søren just received the news of the abnormality in the Styx, something strange had already happened here.
Not far away was the Styx.
But now, a part of the Nether River seemed to have been cut off. The Nether River, which was originally one, began to diverge. Then, one of them poured into the ground below.
This place was called the [Crimson Flat] because the land here had turned crimson due to some unknown reason, and now the land here was even redder. A tributary of the Styx seemed to have gone deep into the ground. Since then, there had been an abnormality here. In just one day, thousands of Abyss Worms had appeared.
There was a probability of the Abyss transforming into demons, but the probability of transformation was definitely not that high.
About three days later.
The number of Abyss Worms here had reached about 10,000, and then the first batch of Dretch born in the slaughter appeared.
The Dretch occupied this place and began to devour other Abyss Worms. Soon, the most powerful demon was promoted to a Berserk Demon, and then to a new Glabrezu. According to the normal progress, a low-level demon lord might be born here. But since this was Sauron's territory, the abnormality was soon discovered by his subordinates.
The Abyss had been transforming more and more Abyss Worms recently, but there were still very few like here.
About the fifth day.
The real change appeared. In the center of the Crimson Flat, there was a huge pit.
It seemed to be formed by the collapse of its own accord, and then some kind of blood-red liquid began to gather in the pit. The speed of the liquid gathering was very fast, and the color of the nearby land gradually dimmed.
Then!
It seemed that all the Abyss Worms went crazy in an instant.
The source of the Styx was constantly stealing souls. In just one day, tens of thousands of Abyss Worms were born. At the same time, these Abyss Worms were madly attacking and devouring each other. They ate the dead Abyss Worms, but they did not evolve. These Abyss Worms were getting bigger and bigger. It seemed that there was some kind of powerful force protecting them. They continued to evolve in the form of Abyss Worms.
At first, Sauron's subordinates could still get close.
Later, even the high-grade demons did not dare to get close because in the center of the flat, there was a huge blood pool. The area was more than ten times larger than the blood pool controlled by Sauron!
After the frenzied slaughter, three Abyssal Worms were fortunate enough to survive.
Each of them was more than twenty meters long, and their skin was tougher than dragon skin. Even the high-grade demons sent by Sauron ate one of these crazy worms.
They did not allow anyone to get close to the blood pool!
This was a newborn blood pool, and it did not have any master. Under the influence of the subconsciousness of the Abyss, the first function of the blood pool was to transform a Mother Worm.
The seventh day.
Sauron's figure came here. He looked down at the huge blood pool in front of him and murmured, "It seems that the Mother Worm is about to be born."
Just like raising venomous insects, out of hundreds of thousands of Abyssal Worms, only three of them survived. Any one of them was strong enough to fight against the old dragon, but the power of the Abyssal Law had yet to bless them, because only the last survivor could become the [Mother of Worms].
When this transformation was completed, the Mother Worm would be blessed with the power of the law. It would have the power of a demigod and become the lowest-grade Secondary Demon Lord.
Every level of the Abyss had a Mother Worm scattered around.
They were the lowest-grade Secondary Demon Lords and only guarded near the blood pool. They were responsible for the birth and transformation of Abyss Worms.
"It seems that we still need to wait!"
Sauron's eyes showed a hint of excitement. "After the birth of the Mother Worm, the blood pool will be truly formed!"
"Such a big blood pool."
"And the source is directly connected to the Nether River. I wonder how many souls it can transform in a day?"
Sauron's original blood pool was only one-tenth the size of this one. It could transform about 300-500 Abyss Worms a day. The huge blood pool in front of him was ten times the size of that one. The transformation ratio was of course more than ten times. If it was connected to the Nether River due to the influence of the Abyss, the number of transformed Abyss Worms might increase explosively.
Sauron was the Demon Lord here.
Naturally, this new blood pool would be its territory. When the real [Mother of Worms] was born, it would need to conquer this place, and then its army would expand rapidly.
"Immediately dispatch the third Demon Legion to guard this place."
Sauron thought for a while and ordered the Elite Succubus beside him. "Don't let anyone come close. Don't disturb the battle of the Mother Worm!"
"Pay attention to the Nether River nearby."
"Other demons are prohibited from approaching this area!"
Although Naruto's actions greatly increased the power of the undead, the subconsciousness of the Abyss seemed to have taken the opportunity to bite off a large piece of meat from the Underworld.
In the Lower Plane.
The Abyss had the most tributaries of the Nether River. If there was a new blood pool in Sauron's place, then there would be new blood pools in other levels of the Abyss. Perhaps after the Underworld lost the management of the Death God System, there would be an explosive growth of demons in the Lower Plane.
The Gods could only take care of their own believers now, and they must be the souls of devout believers.
As for the souls of the other dead, they could only pray for themselves now!
…
The Nether River had been cut off.
The powerful Death God System had been managing many tributaries of the Nether River. But with the success of Naruto's plot, these tributaries of the Nether River all fell into the hands of the Lords of the Lower Plane. Demons, demons, demons, and undead were trying to steal souls from the Nether River. If the Nether River was not very dangerous, the souls in it would have been divided up.
