Divine Path System Chapter 1010 Undead Leader's Trump Card

Chapter 1010 Undead Leader's Trump Card

The abyssals panicked as a piece of news spread like wildfire. From the lowest mobs on the field to the highest rulers in the castles, everyone panicked.

​ Varian killed the Demon King.

The Demon King was neither at his peak strength nor was he without some significant injuries. But he was still at the strength of a Sovereign.

To kill him meant Varian possessed the strength of a Sovereign!

"Madness!" Thunder King slammed his throne as he stared at his colleagues in the virtual s.p.a.ce. "Sin King was too weak to fight. But Demon King, what the h.e.l.l happened to him? How did he lose? How dare he lose?!"

Two seats in the virtual s.p.a.ce were conspicuously empty. They belonged to the decreased Sin King and Demon King.

The absence was jarring, screaming the horror that happened in just a few hours right in their face.

"Humans now have an extra Sovereign." Water Queen, the arch nemesis of Venus, said slowly. Her sky blue armor seemed like a lump of blue water flowing around her, but somehow it was rock solid and elegant.

"They're celebrating his ascension. These b.a.s.t.a.r.ds think they've already won. What will happen with an extra Sovereign?" Fire King crossed his arms. "I will scorch Jupiter sooner or later."

The Hollow Queen and Thunder King echoed similar sentiments.

"I can't stand those human celebrations!"

"They're at war!" Thunder King gritted his teeth. "We're at war with fairies! Our…empire is struggling so much! We waged a holy war for our future! But they…"

His chest heaved up and down as his anger showed itself in the form of a lightning storm around him. His voice laced with thick killing intent as he said. "They don't know it, but they're celebrating when the abyssals in our homeland are suffering and dying. They are celebrating our end, which is also the end of the homeland."

There was a clear frustration in the rulers.

Even though their Emperor kept things hidden until now, the news was slowly leaking over. And with the way things were going there, even Haedon didn't bother to cover them any longer.

The Abyss Empire was losing! Fairies were marching toward their capital! The entire abyssal race might perish in this war!

This was a lot to take in for the abyssal rulers who were already growing frustrated with humanity's resilience.

The war that should've ended in a week stretched to a month and half. Then came this dreaded man who they deeply feared.

As the conversation rolled on, the emotions of the abyssal rulers grew more intense. But none of them uttered Varian's name. They didn't dare. It was almost like a taboo. They went around the problem again and again, never reaching any solution.

They were all accustomed to the silent leaders.h.i.+p of Sin King. As the oldest member of the group, he'd usually take the big decisions. Oddly, they even missed the Demon King. Even though he had his issues, he was the first or second in their strongest list.

With both of them gone at once, there was a clear void in the leaders.h.i.+p.

Despair Queen covered her face and continued to remain silent. But as time pa.s.sed, she realized this wasn't going to end anywhere

"Varian."

That one word caused the noisy room to fall silent.

The abyssal rulers stared at each other before fixating their gaze on the Despair Queen.

"He reached the Sovereign state or somehow, got that strength." She pursed her lips and stared at her peers. "Demon King was weakened. So, Varian's Sovereign strength is still not as strong as us. But without any doubt, he's in our league now."

They tried not to show their feelings on their faces and failed.

One by one, the abyssal rulers began to slap their thrones or destroy the show pieces in their studies.

If not for this being a virtual meeting, perhaps they would've fought against each other just to cool down.

After five full minutes of venting, everyone sat back with a more serious expression.

"I'm not trying to despair, but I can say, this is pretty much it." Despair Queen sighed and said. "The war is over. The humans have won."

Hollow Queen tapped her chin and stared at the ceiling. "Maybe negotiate with them for a piece of legacy?"

There was a rumbling chuckle. "Or we can join pinkies and become friends. You can't be serious. If there's any possibility of goodwill, our first invasion crushed it to the last grain. Humans might agree to a truce now, but once they grow strong enough, they'll slaughter us like pigs."

"Then what do we do?" Despair Queen clenched her fists and slammed it on her throne's armrest. "Who is confident in killing him?"

A deep silence followed as the abyss rulers looked at each other before lowering their heads and sighing.

"I can."

The virtual s.p.a.ce expanded and an abyssal, but paler, with completely dark eyes and a bizarre temperament appeared.

"You." Despair Queen narrowed her gaze and noted the s.h.i.+mmering black light on his body.

The Undead leader sat calmly, filling the room with the missing confidence.

"You have advanced." Thunder King gasped.

"Correct." He said and clapped.

The virtual part from his side expanded and included two coffins. In the incredulous gaze of the abyss rulers, the two coffins exploded and two new Undead walked out of them with steady steps.

Unlike the Undead Leader, these two had blank eyes and clearly lacked any agency.

But the s.h.i.+mmering black light on them…

"Three Sovereigns." Mirage Queen muttered in shock and her lips curled up unconsciously. "If this is a mirage, then please don't disturb me."

But she knew it must be true.

Even with all the treasures the Abyss Emperor sent, this Undead took so long to harvest those coffins.

It's only fair that creating Sovereigns or at least, animating their corpses took so long.

"An extra Sovereign can decide a war. But three." The Undead Leader smiled to the point the corner of his lips literally reached his ears.

"Three will crush all your hopes."
