The Kingdom of the Dead Spirits, King City.
This was the castle of the King of the Abyss.
At the same time, it was also his burial ground.
Who would have thought that this king of the Kingdom of the Dead Spirits would become the first of the four pillar gods to fall in the Twilight of the Gods?
The ones who made this happen were the five most powerful figures in the main universe.
They were … the Count of Script, Dianli King, Sam Montier, Duo Ling, and Taliohm.
In terms of combat power, the Count of Script was second only to the four pillar gods. After Lao Wang regained his strength, he was not any weaker than the four pillar gods.
As for the other three … they were all second-in-command of the four pillar gods. Sam Montier was once the "strongest Timekeeper," Duo Ling was the "leader of the Nine Heads of the Dead Spirits," and Taliohm, the "Curse God Officer," had always been the right-hand man of the leader of the demons.
Even in terms of strength on the surface, the three mentioned above were of a higher level than the average Magistrate, Juror, and Necromancer's Nine Arches, not to mention … they had secretly established the Phantom Fiend Church and accumulated a large amount of faith power.
Then … here was the question …
Why would the five of them work together to defeat the King of the Abyss?
The answer was obvious … Feng Bujue was the mastermind behind this.
Half a month ago, on the night of the second round of the semi-finals, Brother Jue and the three from the Phantom Demon Church had already made a plan to eliminate the King of the Abyss.
The key to this plan was "Fu Ling," the former Nine Heads of the Dead Spirits who had been sealed in the manure swamp of the Devil Eating Island.
According to Duo Ling, he and Fu Ling had fought for the position of the leader of the Nine Heads of the Dead Spirits. Logically speaking, Fu Ling was slightly stronger, but Duo Ling was much more cunning. He used various methods to win over the support of the other Nine Heads of the Dead Spirits …
Therefore, Fu Ling lost, and the price of failure was eternal damnation …
Many years later, under a coincidence, Feng Bujue released Fu Ling from the seal.
And this … became an opportunity.
Even though she was imprisoned, as a "spirit," as long as there was strong resentment, her power would increase.
Therefore, after all these years, not only did Fu Ling's strength not stagnate, it became even stronger.
After Feng Bujue understood the history of the battle between Snatch Spirit and Fu Ling, he decided to go along with the plan … to lure the tiger away from the mountain and kill the tiger with a borrowed knife.
First, he ordered Seizing Spirit to lead the Nine Chiefs to a designated location and wait for orders. Then, he used Seizing Spirit as bait … to lure Fu Ling there as well. After the two sides met, there was no doubt that it would be a bloody battle of life and death.
Meanwhile, Snatch Spirit himself stayed out of the matter … While Jiu Kui and Fu Ling were fighting, he quickly met up with his other two colleagues from the Illusion Fiend Church. Then, he brought along Brother Zun and Lao Wang and headed straight for the palace.
It didn't matter how Fu Ling's battle was going. After all, the Nine Chiefs wouldn't be able to get away in a short period of time. So … there were only a few shrimp soldiers and crab generals left to guard the Royal City.
In the face of those five ferocious fiends, small fries were of little use. Moreover, Soulsnatcher knew the situation of King City, the distribution of the troops, and so on like the back of his hand. With the help of both the inside and the outside, the undead army was basically defeated.
Of course, the King of the Netherworld Abyss himself was also very strong. He wouldn't be defeated so easily …
Among the four pillar gods, in terms of fighting one-on-one, the leader of the demons was the best. The King of the Netherworld Abyss was the second best.
This god who controlled the power of the undead wasn't easy to deal with. However, the five people who came to surround him … were not easy to deal with either.
If the King of the Netherworld Abyss could still kill the five of them in a one-on-five battle, then he wouldn't need to cultivate the Nine Chiefs of the Dead Souls. It was estimated that he wouldn't have a problem fighting two pillar gods alone … If he was smart enough, he could use some long-range and short-range tactics to swallow up the forces of the other three gods.
Unfortunately, that was just a hypothesis. The reality was … when these five people (strictly speaking, none of them were human) appeared together, the King of the Netherworld Abyss already understood … that he didn't even have half a chance of winning.
In the end, this king of the Kingdom of the Dead Souls chose to take a bow with dignity.
He didn't make any pointless resistance or counterattack. He also didn't want to drag anyone down with him …
He seemed to have his own unique view of "death."
There was no fear in his heart. On the contrary … he had a sense of relief and a sense of tiredness.
The time had come, and dusk was coming. His era was over.
The stage of the new era would be left to the new rising forces …
At the last moment, the King of the Netherworld Abyss took off the "Crown of the Dead Souls" from his head and slowly placed it on the throne. Then … he turned around and disappeared … He returned to the torrent of data and became a part of this world.
After he completely disappeared, Spirit Snatcher … opened his mouth.
"Everyone …" He glanced at the four people around him and asked in a deep voice, "… Is there anyone who wants to take the throne?"
The current Spirit Snatcher was no longer a huge skull that floated in the air.
After swallowing the mushroom that Feng Bujue had given him, under the effect of the item's second effect, 'I've added a mushroom for you ~ (Permanently changes the style of an NPC)', Seizer's appearance turned into a human.
But now, he looked like a human-shaped ice sculpture made of light blue ice crystals. Through his translucent ice skin and flesh, one could clearly see the human skeleton inside his body, as well as many blue light spots that were constantly floating in his body like fireflies.
"Humph … You don't have to be so polite with us." Dianhai King still looked like a child, but his tone was not polite. "We have no interest in this throne to begin with."
"Haha … Regarding the ownership of the crown, you and Feng Bujue have already come to an agreement, haven't you?" The Count of Script's attitude was more mature. He smiled at Spirit Snatcher. "Why do you need to ask?" He paused, and a cold glint flashed through his eyes. "Could it be … you're trying to test our reaction?"
Spirit Snatcher did not answer this question. He did not seem to hear the latter half of the sentence. He turned back to look at Sam Montier and Taliomb.
The two had been in cahoots with him for many years, so naturally, they had no objections.
Therefore, Spirit Snatcher … took a step toward the throne.
"Okay, since no one has any objections …" Spirit Snatcher walked up the steps before the throne and said, "I … shall ascend to this throne.
"From now on, all living beings will be insignificant.
"Lowly redemption."
"Hypocritical guidance.
"Cycle of despair.
"Everything … shall cease to exist and be reborn from destruction."
"I …" Spirit Snatcher mumbled as he walked. He reached before the throne and raised the Crown of the Dead. "… shall be crowned …"
Chi!
Just as Spirit Snatcher was about to put on the crown and say the word 'King', a ray of death shot at him!
Instantly, the ray of energy knocked the crown from his hand to the ground.
A cold female voice … rang out at the same time.
"You … think you're worthy?"
