Chapter 1161 Against The Emperor Velgoth (Part 1)

"The real reason I want to kill you is because there are some people who want you alive— and I won't let those bastards have their way."

Evan was stunned when he heard Emperor Velgoth's words. He had thought of many reasons why Velgoth might have such a strong killing intent toward him, but he never expected the reason to be so strange.

He wanted to kill him simply because someone else wanted him alive, and Velgoth had a grudge against them so by killing him, he wanted to sabotage their plans.

While the reason was unexpected, it only made Evan even more cautious. From Velgoth's cold tone, it was obvious that he absolutely hated whomever it was that wanted Evan alive. But for some reason, he couldn't confront them directly, so he decided to kill Evan instead.

Emperor Velgoth was a Rank Five Core Evolver, and if even he couldn't do anything to those people, it meant they were at least as powerful as him—if not stronger.

'Fu*k my life, don't tell me there Rank Six Core Evolvers coming after me?' Evan thought with a chill running down his spine.

He took a moment to calm his racing thoughts before asking in a low voice, "Who are these people that want to capture me?"

Velgoth sneered when he heard Evan and replied in a cold voice.

"Aren't they just some of your old friends?"

"My old friends..." Evan's heart skipped a beat at Velgoth's words and he immediately realized Velgoth wasn't talking about him—he was talking about Azroth.

When Velgoth's phantom appeared during his breakthrough, he attempted to use Azroth's name to manipulate him, but Velgoth's reaction back then made it clear that he was familiar with the dangers associated with Azroth's name.

Since Velgoth knew of Azroth, it was likely that he had recognized him, despite his current appearance not fully resembling his past self. He was still somewhat similar to Azroth's, except he didn't constantly radiate that chilling cold aura.

'From the way he is speaking, it doesn't sound like the people who want me are Azroth's friends...' Evan's face darkened as he thought back to all of this and he wanted to give Azroth a good beating.

He hadn't even entered the Origin Universe yet, but the enemies Azroth had made in the past were already coming for him.

Gobu, Albelu, Rattel, Miss Spider, Nihilus, and the other shadow undeads emerged from the shadow storage and looked at the Eldritch Creatures with their eerie glowing purple eyes.

In just a few moments, fifty thousand shadow undeads stood behind Evan, their chilling presence filling the air.

But things didn't end there as Nihilus raised the bone staff in his hand, and a moment later, an additional sixty thousand skeletons and three colossal bone dragons emerged to stand alongside the shadow undeads.

The atmosphere around them grew heavy with the scent of death and decay as their opposing force pushed back against the powerful aura of the Eldritch army. The clash of the auras of the two forces was so powerful that the space between them began to warp, disordered by the tremendous energy.

Seeing the fifty thousand shadow undeads, Utharic, Nythor, and the other Eldritch Creatures were taken aback. According to what they knew, there were fewer than twenty thousand shadow undeads when Evan had trapped their army within the Void Territory. To now see nearly fifty thousand of these black undeads made their eyes widen in shock.

However, their surprise didn't last long and they quickly recomposed themselves, their eyes turning toward Velgoth, who still stood with an indifferent expression.

'That's right,' They thought to themselves, 'With His Majesty here, it doesn't matter how many small fries this invader summons...'

Thinking that their Emperor was fighting by their side, the Eldritch Creatures glanced back at the massive army of undeads with cold eyes brimming with killing intent.

Noticing that Utharic and the other Eldritch Creatures couldn't wait any longer, Velgoth cast them a glance and gave a slight nod.

Upon receiving this silent command, a fierce glint flashed in Morvael's eyes, and with a loud shout, he charged forward with unmatched speed.

"Kill!"

The other Eldritch Creatures followed after him, their roars echoing as they rushed toward Evan's army of undeads, their fierce momentum shook the battlefield, their collective bloodlust turning the air into a storm of wrath and destruction.

Gobu and the other shadow undeads were not afraid of the incoming onslaught, and seeing the Eldritch Creatures charging toward them, a savage power radiant from their bodies and they also moved forward.

Under the oppressive auras of both armies, everything within a thousand kilometres began to tremble.

The ground itself quaked beneath the weight of their combined presence and the sounds of battle began to roar through the landscape as the first clashes of weapons rang out and blood spurted across the battlefield.

The sky, already dimmed with an orange-red hue turned completely black as the violent storm of war ignited, signaling the start of a battle that would in future, spark the second war between the Primordials.
