Chapter 152: The Madness of the Underworld God
by xennovelUnderworld – Glazed Mountain.
This isn’t the tallest peak in the Underworld, yet it is the most magical place!
The mountain, formed by solidified special magma, looks like a gorgeous gem from a distance. In the gray Underworld, it is striking and dazzling.
The temple of Sawyer, the Underworld God, is located here!
The towering and peculiar architecture, like swords combined, stands tall on the peak of the brightest Glazed Mountain.
At the spire of the main hall, the eternal soul fire burns.
Currently, in the shadowy temple illuminated by the soul fire, the pale-skinned Sawyer, the Underworld God, sits high on the throne.
At this moment, his hands are tightly clutching the armrests, his expression extremely excited!
Even though he had guessed the Internet’s high efficiency in extracting Source Essence, he didn’t expect it to be this terrifying!
Especially with the support of his vast Preaching Area and numerous followers.
In his perception, his Preaching Area lit up densely with many light spots.
It looked like all followers were praying!
This grand occasion only occurs during the annual Death Festival!
No! The Death Festival is far from even one-tenth of this.
Endless Source Essence surged from the followers, each wisp so delicate and weak, yet when united like rivers converging into the sea, it was so mighty and overwhelming, leaving one shocked and obsessed.
Is this the power of the Internet?
No wonder the Internet God dared to unleash such a terrifying world-ending blow before the three cities.
“Great Underworld Lord, your fifth calamity has exceeded two billion! The multiverse shall tremble and bow at your feet!”
The demigod Duke, frenzied, prostrated beneath the throne, trembling like a leaf.
Was it excitement? Or fear?
The so-called demigod is not truly a god.
They are those rewarded with a virtual Divine Spark for their outstanding military service by the Underworld God!
Of course, the Underworld God wouldn’t reward a complete virtual Divine Spark.
He gives only one percent, or even just a thousandth, a mere title with almost no authority in the virtual Divine Spark.
Yet it is still enough to drive numerous high-ranking undead lords insane.
Because possessing a virtual Divine Spark, regardless of its small authority, allows sharing in the power of the Divine Spark!
They gain the qualification to extract Source Essence and even enjoy the eternal life granted by the Divine Spark.
The demigod Duke is a dark knight who has followed the Underworld God for over a thousand years. However, he is now in charge of and monitors the ‘Underworld God’s Followers’ section of the fifth calamity.
The Internet is too vast!
Although the Underworld God supports its framework and façade by plagiarizing the Internet’s content.
Still, each section requires personnel for review and monitoring.
Therefore, he assigned the various sections of the dark web to the demigods and even sub-gods to manage.
“Two billion?”
Upon hearing the report from the demigod Duke, the Underworld God’s eyes widened.
“Yes, Great Underworld Lord!”
In response to the demigod Duke, Sawyer, the Underworld God, also checked the number of the fifth calamity through the highest authority.
Registration numbers surpassed two billion, simultaneous online users exceeded five hundred million.
This is a number the Underworld God couldn’t even dream of!
You must know, the Underworld’s vastness is beyond measure.
Even the Underworld God hasn’t traveled to every corner.
This is, after all, the realm of souls from the multiverse!
To command such a vast domain, despite the undead corps claiming to be endless, in reality, they’re quite limited in number.
Because most undead in the Underworld are low-level undead without intelligence!
They are twisted fragments of broken souls, nurturing skeletons or zombies in the earth.
The broken and twisted undead take centuries to evolve intelligence.
Were it not for the massive numbers, the Underworld would be nothing more than a tumultuous yet lonely world.
Therefore, the Underworld God’s undead army requires high-level undead lords and necromancers to integrate into a proper force!
Otherwise, it would be nothing but an unmanageable horde.
This was the fundamental reason for the Internet God’s success with psychological tactics when attacking the border city of Quever – Tweett.
The undead army is still fundamentally formed of intelligent creatures.
Now things are different. He can summon five hundred million with a wave, directing them like his own arm, fearless of death, as the fifth calamity!
This force is enough to shock the multiverse!
“Hahaha… Excellent… Hahaha…”
The Underworld God’s face contorted with excitement as he laughed heartily.
“Great Underworld Lord, sitting in the Underworld, overlooking twenty-seven planes, Preaching Area, followers over ten billion! Two billion is merely your starting point. As your divine might shines upon all worlds, the fifth calamity will surely grow larger!”
The demigod Duke’s face was full of frenzy.
“Congratulations, Underworld Lord!”
“My lord’s radiance shall spread to all worlds!”
Several demigods and sub-gods in the Underworld God’s temple similarly offered their excited congratulations.
Listening to his subordinates’ flattery, a flush of red emerged on the Underworld God’s pale face… The Internet is truly a wonderful thing!
It has squeezed out every bit of power from the Preaching Area – Source Essence offered to the god, wisdom gathered into an army.
This is the power that a god should hold!
Thank you, Internet God!
If not for your personal demonstration, how would I know of such great power?
In his heart, Sawyer, the Underworld God, deeply praised the Internet God.
However, the more he praised in his heart, the stronger his will to kill!
Only by experiencing it personally, will you realize the terror of the Internet.
This kind of power absolutely cannot be held by others. Only I – the great Sawyer, the Underworld God, deserve to wield it!
After extreme excitement, the Underworld God restrained his smile, yet his internal ambition burned fiercely.
“Prepare the army, ready for battle!”
The Underworld God ordered coldly.
“Yes! Your will is where the undead army’s blades point!”
The demigods responded loudly.
The Underworld God waved his hand, and clusters of soul fire ignited before him.
Within each soul fire, a plane was displayed.
The Underworld God pondered how to expand the territory?
Should he gather forces or divide and conquer?
Additionally, should he prioritize attacking the main plane, or start with the weakest point?
Thinking of the main plane, the Underworld God suddenly recalled the Internet God’s world-ending strike, causing a tremor deep in his soul.
After witnessing the Internet’s efficiency in extracting Source Essence, he became even more apprehensive of the Internet God.
No, it’s still not wise to attack the main plane.
Gods are unrestricted in power on the main plane, their desperate outbreak is too astounding.
Even if his fifth calamity is in the billions, with a constant stream of revival, using it to deplete the gods’ Source Essence feels unprofitable.
Morale is also a significant issue.
Thus, it’s better to conquer small and medium-sized planes first, expand the fifth calamity to reach a hundred billion, then fully attack the main plane!
Although he can’t attack the main plane, he can learn from the Internet God’s flyer strategy to expand the dark web users.
I don’t demand they provide soldiers, even just providing Source Essence is good.
It’s perfect to learn from the Internet God and use Source Essence as a reward to motivate the fifth calamity’s battles!
As for whether this move would anger the multiverse gods?
Honestly, the Underworld God, whose mind has been clouded by swollen power, couldn’t consider this anymore.
Or perhaps, even if the Azaea Preaching Area were destroyed, it wouldn’t matter as it’s merely a few hundred million followers!
He still has twenty-seven small and medium-sized planes, enough to provide endless soldiers.
Strategic thoughts settled.
Leaders just move their mouths, subordinates run their legs.
When the Underworld God decided to mimic the Internet God’s flyer strategy, his Preaching Area became highly sought after overnight.
Countless papers were collected, with prayers for the Underworld God written on them.
With a massive population base, creating enough flyers to spread across the Azaea Continent was just a matter of time.
While the multiverse gods were still shocked by the appearance of the dark web, a grand calamity quietly descended!
