Countless skeletons were buried beneath Thanatos.
Ever since the Lord of the Abyss, Orcas, took control of this plane, Thanatos had been transforming it.
It could be traced back to three thousand years ago. At that time, the earliest Orcas had not died and was resurrected. In order to transform this plane into a negative energy, he resurrected a large number of undead and transformed many undead creatures. After that, Orcas started a war with the will of the abyss itself. The source of power in the Abyss was demons. In this world that lasted for three thousand years, Thanatos on the 113th floor of the Abyss kept transforming demons with souls. Then, he was killed by the undead here. Countless demon skeletons were piled up underground. Creatures from other planes also died here.
Death gave birth to the undead.
Under Orcas's intentional control, he was like a devil that completed the transformation of a certain plane in the Abyss. With the accumulation of a large number of skeletons and the power of death, this plane was gradually added with negative energy.
It was just like the spiritual world.
But!
The real power did not lie here. Orcas spent so much energy not only to transform the plane, but also to seek the divine power of death.
His power also came from this plane.
Or rather, it was the core of the place — the City of the Dead, Naratel!
There was a gigantic magic formation there, constantly gathering the power of death. Orcas had been drawing from it for a long time to gain enough power to contend with the gods.
From an abyss worm to the most powerful demon lord!
This did not only require talent and luck. Orcas was obviously hiding something in the depths of the City of the Dead.
In the wilderness.
The army of millions of undead had been destroyed by Sauron's demon army. These low-level undead could not stop Sauron, and he did not care about these things.
This was just the beginning.
Sauron's goal of transforming Thanatos was not only to erase the negative energy here, but also to prepare to attack the final destination of this area.
The legendary City of the Dead, Naratel.
There were some places in the Abyss that were very difficult to break through. For example, the Endless Labyrinth, the 45th to 47th floor of the Silver City, and the City of the Dead ruled by Orcas.
Silver City was Six Fingers' territory.
This was the territory that ran through the 45th to 47th level of the Abyss. Now, this territory was divided into two halves. After the Dark Monarch died due to the revenge of the Goddess of Wealth, these three levels were inherited by his former adjutant, Weiss. The Dark Monarch had a large number of children, but these demon children didn't have a large territory. Some of them were controlled by an evil and powerful witch.
This witch had once summoned and enslaved the Dark King. Later, due to the Dark King's vengeance, she had entered the Bottomless Abyss.
For now.
The three layers of the Bottomless Abyss were divided between them.
Even after the death of the Dark Monarch, there were still a large number of balors stationed near the city. This was a place that even the Succubus Queen and the Spider Queen, Lolth, had a hard time conquering at their peak.
The same point.
As the core territory controlled by Orcas, even Sauron might not be able to take down the City of the Dead, Naratel, with its huge demon army.
…
The characteristics of Thanatos' plane were loosening.
Countless wandering souls were attracted by the blood pool of the Abyss and turned into worms. This time, the chaotic consciousness of the Bottomless Abyss was undoubtedly on Sauron's side.
It relied on instinct to extract these souls, and at the same time, balance the number of demons and undead in this plane. It quickly turned a large number of wandering souls into abyssal worms, and then quickly produced the first batch of demons.
This batch of demons hatched very quickly.
There was a cavity in the demon's body. This cavity contained the genes of many forms of demons, including Dretch, Quasits, Glabrezu, Fire Demons, Vrock, Balor, and so on. Different wills and souls would extract different powers. The Tanar 'ri demons were a species born from the desires of humans.
Batches of berserk demons appeared one after another.
These demons directly devoured the souls, tore their original bodies, and were born from the broken shells.
The angry consciousness of the Bottomless Abyss affected the transformation of these demons. The number of other types of demons was less than 20%, while the number of berserk demons was as high as 80%.
Anger!
After being distorted for so long, the Bottomless Abyss feedback to this level was anger.
"Kneel!"
Sauron's figure rose into the air, and endless flames appeared around his body. He roared at the thousands of berserk demons that were born in front of him, "You lowly worms!"
"I am the Balor Lord – Sauron!"
"From today on, I am your master! Now! Go to battle! Go to kill! Destroy the undead here! "
"It is they who have imprisoned your souls for countless years!"
Roar!
A series of roars could be heard.
The newborn demons did not have much wisdom, but driven by anger and will, they were controlled by Sauron and then sent to the battlefield with the undead.
The entire plain had become a meat grinder.
An army of more than 100,000 demons was densely spread out within a radius of 100 kilometers. More than ten times the number of undead gathered from all directions to resist the demons' attack. Countless tombs opened, and skeletal warriors crawled out. A large number of wandering liches and skeletal knights gathered and charged towards Sauron's demon army.
This was an extremely tragic war of attrition!
But Sauron could bear this kind of consumption, because as long as the Abyss Blood Pool was still there, his forces would continue to recover.
More and more souls would become demons, and the number of undead that could be resurrected would gradually decrease.
"Master."
Just as Sauron was waiting for the result of the first battle, a slender Succubus maid came out of the fog.
This was a demon favored by the Lord of Shadows. She had successfully promoted to an Assassin and obtained some of the abilities of a professional. Because of the innate demon level, her strength had greatly increased after being promoted to an Assassin. Although she was still in the form of a Succubus, she had reached the legendary level, and her body size had become smaller because of her profession.
"I have found the passage to the [City of the Dead] – Naratel!" The Succubus Assassin knelt on one knee.
She handed a marker stone to Sauron and said, "There are many powerful undead wandering there! I even saw a Lich and a Vampire Giant near an obelisk! "
"A terrible power of death shrouds that place."
Sauron's figure landed. He stretched out his hand and took the marker stone. A smile appeared on his face, and then he waved his hand and said, "Got it."
"Let the Hezrou enter the battlefield."
"Crush these undead! They are just a bunch of appetizers! "
As Sauron's voice trailed off, tens of thousands of Hezrou, who were eight feet tall and nearly a thousand pounds in weight, possessing astonishing strength and physique, and could use 'Blasphemy Whisper' three times a day, joined the battlefield. They were the main cannon fodder of the demon army, and also the backbone of the frontal assault on the demon army. Hundreds of demon-hunting spiders advanced from the back of the portal. These were the monsters that Sauron had tamed. Three teams of six-armed snake demons advanced from the flanks. Although there were only a few dozen of these six-armed snake demons, the effect of a real battle was equivalent to thousands of soldiers and horses. Any six-armed snake demon could easily destroy thousands of undead troops.
The real battle had begun!
Sauron finally confirmed the coordinates of the City of the Dead and sent out his main army.
