RAW Title: Chapter 53: All Forces’ Secret Trade behind the Undead Calamity of Atad Border City (Part 2)

While the undead army was still attacking the bases of Earl Hamm and Viscount Peter, Clyde was in the process of a secret discussion with the representatives of three parties about the matter of returning the souls of those over 9000 newly deceased Steinbeck Fief troops.

In an abandoned bell tower within the village, Divine Realm’s representative Valkyrie Cynthia was in her real form, Ghost Realm’s representative Goddess Eresugier had used her idol avatar, and Demon Realm’s Princess Lilith had come in person. Merely, Lilith was still wearing the black armor that completely covered her body. This Demon Realm princess was too conservative. Her armor was even more rigid than that of Valkyrie Cynthia. Ignoring the color of her armor, Clyde would have thought that she was a valkyrie.

Because of the important conspiracy occurring here that concerned reversing death, the representatives of all three parties were required to be present. Ghost Realm’s Goddess Eresugier had invited Demon Realm’s Princess Lilith, saying she had an important matter to discuss. Lilith was entirely unaware that she was being led into a trap. After seeing Clyde, she had immediately realized that she would not be able to leave no matter what she tried. This was like boarding a pirate ship, wanting to withdraw midway was just an extravagant wish.

High-ranking Death Angel Somar and Ghost Realm’s special class Death God Melis had been captured as hostages by Clyde. At this moment, these two goddesses had bright red faces as they reluctantly sat on the left and right sides of Clyde in only their extremely thin undergarments. In addition, the other party held their slender waists, appearing very intimate with them. However, they didn’t dare to say anything. Nevertheless, being held as hostages in front of their superiors like this was a big loss of their faces.

Other than Ghost Realm’s Goddess Eresugier who felt secure because she wasn’t here in person and had only used her idol avatar, Valkyrie Cynthia and Demon Realm’s Princess Lilith crossed their hands in front of their chests and also stood a little far away. Vigilantly watching Clyde’s actions, these two were worried about the sudden destruction of their clothing if they were careless, which would lead to an even more awkward scene. Cynthia had had several shameful experiences in the past, and she knew of Clyde’s mysterious powers from before. As for Lilith, upon seeing special class Death God Melis’s state, she guessed some possibilities and made similar actions.

“I say, why are you two standing so far away? If I truly wanted it, do you think your armor would remain intact? What, do you want me to see what style of clothes you two are wearing inside? Come closer.”

“Don’t, Clyde, don’t mess around! Last time, the divine armor was so badly damaged that it became irreparable. It took me a lot of time to explain myself so that I could obtain a new set. I will come over at once.”

“Yes, Lord Deity, please don’t joke around. I have truly come to help you; I was rude just a moment ago.”

Valkyrie Cynthia and Demon Realm’s Princess Lilith were unable to guess whether Clyde’s casual remarks were just a joke. They could only walk to his side and helplessly put down the hands that were hugging their bosoms. Only Ghost Realm’s Goddess Eresugier could secretly laugh up her sleeve here. She hadn’t come here in her true body; therefore, she didn’t need to worry about getting completely exposed under Clyde’s mysterious power.

“Then, I will say it directly. The matter of these 9,000 people... Can you handle it or not?”

“We can, but since there are simply too many souls that must be turned into evil spirits, I fear I might not be able to conceal this matter. However, there is an Undead Shaman here. We can use its appearance to make this matter bigger. When the time comes, we can push all the blame onto it.”

“Lilith and Eresugier, Fate Goddess is not so easy to deceive. This proposal... I think... I think it’s not bad!”

The proposal of Demon Princess Lilith and Goddess Eresugier was to directly expand the grade of the undead calamity. Once the calamity expanded, Divine Realm would make an exception to reward the brave heroes who resolved the root of the evil. Because of their secret assistance, the grade of the undead calamity triggered by Hal would increase by several levels, at that time, Divine Realm would also raise the rewards. Then, covering up that they had revived those over 9,000 people would also become a very simple matter. When the time came, claiming a miracle had occurred to fix the Undead problem would do.

Originally, Valkyrie Cynthia righteously thought to reject this proposal, but when she saw Clyde looking at her direction, she nervously agreed. After all, they had special relations in addition to that mysterious contract. If Clyde truly used the contract’s power, Cynthia basically wouldn’t be able to refuse anything. In order to avoid losing face in front of her two arch-rival goddesses, Cynthia tacitly consented to this plan.

“That’s it then. Can these two cuties be... Forget it. Since they are going to cry, I will not joke anymore.”

“That’s also not impossible. How about this: Melis and Somar, here is a new mission for you two.”

Originally, Clyde had just been joking. He had never thought that he would truly obtain these two high-ranking goddesses. But, beyond his expectations, Valkyrie Cynthia and Goddess Eresugier went silent for a moment. Then seemingly coming to an agreement, they arbitrarily ordered Death Angel Somar and Death God Melis to become secret special envoys and stay beside Clyde, representing Divine and Ghost Realm, equivalent to being emissaries.

Somar and Melis with bright red faces nodded in agreement. They were very intelligent. They knew that, after they had witnessed this secret trade between the three parties, if they didn’t become participants and implicate themselves, they would be silenced. They could only board this pirate ship. After the secret meeting, Valkyrie Cynthia soared to a high altitude, before hiding in the clouds to observe the situation, awaiting her orders in accordance with the plan. Meanwhile, Ghost Realm’s Goddess Eresugier and Demon Realm’s Princess Lilith dove to the ground and teleported cannon fodder demonic creatures of Demon and Ghost Realm here. Cynthia pretended to not see their teleportation magic.

Not long after, the observatory of Divine Realm exploded. According to their observations, in Atad, a strategic border town of Adelaide Kingdom, where an undead calamity had broken out, the auras of Ghost and Demon Realm had been detected. Therefore, Divine Realm mistakenly believed that the Undead Shaman Hal had colluded with Ghost and Demon Realm to aid them in opening a teleportation gate, which was a breach that could be used to invade Ximengsi Continent.

The situation suddenly became serious. Normally, Divine Realm wouldn’t care about an Undead calamity triggered by the Human Race unless they received a special request. Instead, they would let Human Race’s Light Church deal with it. However, once they detected that Demon and Ghost Realm were also involved, Divine Realm would no longer ignore this matter. Immediately, various gods of Divine Realm successively issued oracles to Human Race’s Light Church, making them ignore the Undead calamity of Norton City and quickly deal with the matter in Atad first.

After Light Pope received the oracle, she felt at a loss. She had already transferred most of Light Church’s reserve forces to Norton City. Withdrawing from such an operation midway was not very good. Even if she wanted to transfer them to Atad, it would need a lot of time, time that seemed to be lacking. All this didn’t even consider the significant amount of resources that had been poured into mobilizing the Church’s forces. She feared that she wouldn’t be able to manage both sides. At that time, Divine Realm wouldn’t take any responsibility, and Light Church would be the one that would have to bear all responsibility for the calamities. After all, in the religious doctrine Light Church had disseminated all along, the gods of Divine Realm never made mistakes. All problems were the fault of common people.

The most indescribable and intriguing person was in fact the instigator of this incident, Hal. He had clearly just summoned over 50,000 undead creatures, yet in the blink of an eye, over 200,000 destructive demonic creatures of Demon and Ghost Realm had appeared in the vicinity of Atad. In addition, over 100,000 demonic creatures under the leadership of Ancient Demon King Andrisno also no longer remained hidden, directly releasing their evil auras, making the situation seem even more serious. This originally small scale undead calamity had directly turned into a large scale calamity with support from Demon and Ghost Realm. With more than 50,000 undead creatures coupled with over 300,000 demonic creatures, this army was already enough to severely damaged the human empires of Ximengsi Continent. Sweeping across a large area would not be a problem.

Hal’s losses had been huge, and those over 300,000 demonic creatures also had no relations with him. He basically couldn’t control them. Nevertheless, Divine Realm directly placed this additional army of 300,000 demonic creatures on Hal’s head, firmly believing that he was the chief culprit of this incident. Thus, Divine Realm announced that as long as Human Race’s brave heroes vanquished Hal, they would be able to obtain the rewards of the gods. The God Race feared that their losses would be too great during this expedition if they directly took action, so they thought that it was best to use high rewards to make Human Race, these cannon fodders, deal with this matter.

In the next 24 hours after the grade of the Undead calamity increased, God Race would basically take no actions, waiting for the response of Human Race to see whether the Human Race had a way to deal with this. In this period of time, Clyde just had to deal with Hal. At that time upon settling all accounts, all the consequences would be placed on Hal, this scapegoat. It was very unlikely for Clyde to be implicated. The goddess arranged by Divine Realm to observe here was Valkyrie Cynthia, who was a person that belonged to Clyde’s side.

Clyde had ample time, so carrying Death Angel Somar and Death God Melis on his left and right shoulders respectively, he returned to the castellan residence of Samuel Village. Until the Undead calamity was dealt with, these two goddesses had to stay beside Clyde as special envoys. In order to not shock his other beautiful companions, Clyde arranged for special rooms where they could rest. After all, they were goddesses, so he still needed to give some consideration for their faces.

“Mister Clyde, we are just special envoys, not maids. Please let us look for a place ourselves...”

“Be obedient. Otherwise, you two will quickly become maids and lose your positions as special envoys.”

Somar and Melis immediately became obedient. With their current appearances, they were just one step away from truly becoming that at any time that Clyde wished. Clyde took these two goddesses to a secret room. After confiscating their divine artifacts, he made Ancient Demon King Andrisno come over to watch these two goddesses. He then knocked out Somar and Melis to prevent them from becoming further panicked before placing them on a bed and covering them with a quilt.

“Lord Clyde, you even dare to lay your hands on a senior angel of Divine Realm and a death god of Ghost Realm! This is simply too...”

“There are no problems. In addition, I even asked their superiors who agreed to let me take them. This is not a kidnapping; at most, you can regard it as taking a ransom. Properly look after them. I am going to deal with Hal and end this Undead calamity farce.”

“Understood, I will properly take care of them. As for the matter of Hal, there is no need to worry. His Undead army of 50,000 Undead creatures has already been blocked by the three armies of demonic creatures in Atad. They are already like a trapped beast. The gods of Divine Realm must have believed that Hal could truly control so many demonic creatures.”
