Chapter 1463: Old Acquaintance

The King of Nightmares finally understood. As the unluckiest god of all, if he wanted to live a comfortable life, he’d better put aside the gravitas and dignity of a god.

It had been so many things. He clung to the dignity of a god, but lived a life more despicable than a reptile’s. One god perished another. Some reborn gods died again, but they were dignified as gods for quite some time. What about him? He thought of killing himself when he remembered his life…

Unfortunately, as a god, he was so powerful that he couldn’t even kill himself. He had to deal with an insufferable life…

It seemed that the King of Nightmares had suddenly become smart. He kept saying nice words in the humblest way.

In fact, Lin Yun just considered that he was bullshitting. He didn’t believe what the King of Nightmares said at all.

That guy was a god anyway. Nothing he said could be trusted. It might be impossible to restrain him even with a contract.

Lin Yun was asking Semalion something.

“Semalion, do you know what to do under these circumstances? The King of Nightmares’ soul has already melted with the Bloody Lich’s. If it’s impossible to kill the King of Nightmares, it’s impossible to kill the Bloody Lich.

“If the Bloody Lich is alive, there will be endless trouble. That old dry corpse won’t hesitate to spend 10,000 years retaliating against me…”

Lin Yun was truly having a headache. According to Semalion, the Book of Death had been conceptualized since the age of gods, but it was not successfully born at first. Then, the Plane of the Undead was involved in the war of gods. None of the creatures in the Plane of the Undead dared to fight gods.

The King of the Undead at this moment would’ve been simple cannon fodder in the age of gods. The conception of the Book of Death had been affected, and some people tried to claim it. In the end, the unborn Book of Death somehow fell out of the Plane of the Undead. There was no opportunity for it to be completely born anymore. All its components dropped out.

Semalion had learned a lot of things in the process. He had naturally learned many of the things during the conception.

In particular, Semalion knew a lot about the gods. To address the King of Nightmares’ problem, normal power wouldn’t be useful at all. Lin Yun had to count on the power of gods.

If only one of the gods had the power that could help the current situation. Although the gods had died, most of them had left good stuff.

Their soul pieces, their blood, their remaining bodies…

If one of the gods had the power to solve the problem, Lin Yun could always go find their remaining parts, and direct some of their power to solve the problem.

In response, Semalion was explaining the power of the gods one by one.

“The Lord of Wisdom is known as the source of all wisdom—”

“No, this one won’t help. Next one. The Lord of Wisdom doesn’t have the power to solve this problem…” Lin Yun interrupted Semalion before the latter could finish. The guy was only wasting his time. The Lord of Wisdom’s source of power, namely his skull, had already been absorbed by Lin Yun. That didn’t help him at all.

Semalion was not bothered. He continued introducing other gods’ special abilities that might be of help in solving the King of Nightmares’ problem.

Lin Yun knew a thing or two about those things, but not as detailedly as Semalion did. After all, it had been a long time since the age of gods. Very few detailed records of gods that were from the age of gods could be found these days.

Semalion kept talking, and Lin Yun kept shaking his head.

An hour passed in the blink of an eye.

“The Lord of Death is also a god that boasts soul power. It’s said that he was born with the Blade of Death, which can cut apart souls. The creatures whose souls are cut apart will not necessarily die, but the part of their souls that is cut off will be permanently gone. It’s said that during the war of gods, the Lord of Death cut off one of the Lord of Wisdom’s hands, and the Lord of Wisdom’s hand was completely disabled.”

Lin Yun’s eyes glittered as Semalion talked. He instantly thought of the skeleton king.

After the Lord of Death died, his weapon was broken and fell to the Plane of the Undead, turning into the skeleton kings’ scythes of death, which were easy to find. Lin Yun himself had a scythe of death.

If the scythe of death could cut apart the King of Nightmares’ soul and the Bloody Lich’s soul, then things would be much easier.

Lin Yun took out his scythe of death, and Semalion suddenly exclaimed in shock.

“The Blade of Death. Merlin, has the Lord of Death resurrected?”

When Semalion mentioned the Blade of Death, the bloody scythe of death that Lin Yun took out shivered, and the bloody skull between the edge of the scythe and the grip glittered, letting out nasty and unpleasant cackles.

Lin Yun was almost unable to hold the scythe of death any longer. The bloody scythe of death didn’t calm down until he activated the Chapter of the Dead, and turned into a skeleton king.

Semalion, staring at Lin Yun who held the bloody scythe of death as a cloaked skeleton, spoke in a weird tone, as if he had seen a living god. “Merlin, the Lord of Death looked exactly the same as you. He held the red Blade of Death, which looked the same as the scythes of death that the skeleton kings held. However, hasn’t the Blade of Death already been destroyed?

“What you’re holding is indeed the Blade of Death, except that it’s much less powerful than the Lord of Death’s Blade of Death…”

Lin Yun remembered how he cut the fat kid’s tail back in the Kingdom of Nightmares. The tail was still growing on the fat kid, but the illusion of it was cut off and swallowed by the bloody scythe of death. That had to have been the Blade of Death’s ability.

He was surprised earlier, and thought that the scythe of death mutated after changing its color…

Come to think of it, a coincidence might have occurred when a vampire ancestor was sacrificed. The scythe of death somehow regained the Blade of Death’s ability. It was even possible that part of the Lord of Death’s soul awakened in the bloody scythe of death…

The weapon that was the best at cutting souls apart awakened because of a soulless vampire. That was actually quite weird. The vampire ancestor was really pitiful…

For the King of Nightmares, vampire ancestors were walking human-shaped keys; for the Lord of Death, they were key sacrifices for his resurrection…

The 13 vampire ancestors had lived for such a long time. It was not until the last year that a lot of them were slaughtered. That couldn’t have been easy…

When Lin Yun turned into a skeleton king, and walked towards the King of Nightmares, who was still suppressed by the Natural Demiplane’s projection, with the bloody scythe of death, the King of Nightmares seemed even more frustrated…

I knew that I would be unlucky when I met this guy. It’s exactly like what I expected…

I should’ve made a deal with that guy sooner. It’s great now. I cannot propose a deal to him anymore. He has the Blade of Death, and transformed into the Lord of Death. He can definitely wield the Blade of Death…

Never would the King of Nightmares have dreamed that Lin Yun had the Blade of Death, which killed multiple gods. Those who were cut by the weapon were physically and spiritually minced. It was impossible for them to be resurrected and reborn.

Their soul pieces had been so shattered that even if they were reborn, they couldn’t possibly awaken again. The reborn entities would be new individuals with some special abilities, but they wouldn’t remember their old identities.

To be asleep forever without ever being able to wake up meant real death for the gods…

The King of Nightmares was both frustrated and frightened. He was starting to think that he was not just unlucky for one life…

“Merlin, let’s just talk nicely. We can negotiate. We can reach a deal that you find satisfactory. Trust me. It will be satisfying…”

The King of Nightmares paused halfway through his sentence. He looked at the guy next to Lin Yun, shocked.

After being stunned for a few seconds, the King of Nightmares, seeing that Lin Yun was walking close with the bloody scythe of death raised high, cried as if he had seen his family.

“Cambori, Cambori, oh, it’s you. Sir Cambori, help me! I wouldn’t have ended like this if you hadn’t told me to do that! The wretched Lord of Misfortune must’ve cursed me with his soul when he was dying…

“Cambori, help me, I really want to make a deal. I’m telling the truth…”

The King of Nightmares cried so pitifully that Lin Yun couldn’t bear watching it any longer. The King of Nightmares was indeed the unluckiest god of all. The other gods had mostly died a clean death, but the King of Nightmares’ life had been so miserable that he might have wished he were dead.

Lin Yun looked at where the King of Nightmares was looking. Enderfa had quietly walked to his back, but Lin Yun grabbed his neck and threw him out.

The King of Nightmares fixed his eyes upon Enderfa without batting an eye, as if they were truly family…

“Sir Cambori, have you been caught by this unbelievably wicked human being too? Please help me…”

All of Enderfa’s faces were so angry as if they had accidentally stepped on dog poop on the street.

“Damn it, what a bastard. He’s trying to instigate trouble even though he’s dying. Such bastards must die. Merlin, cut him apart already. If he’s dead, the Bloody Lich will be dead…”

Lin Yun suddenly transformed back into a human being.. He put away the scythe of death, and looked at Enderfa with a vague smile.
