Chapter 197 Otherworldly Evil God - Duncan!

A faint fluctuation of soul energy appeared.

The ancient lich's expression grew increasingly solemn. It stared intently at Duncan before it, seemingly trying to probe his soul, but it couldn't see through it. It could only sense that something was wrong with Duncan's soul. The lich slowly said, "The last time it awakened was 1,234 years ago."

"I thought that once I went deep into the earth's core, I would no longer be disturbed."

"I never expected that these Mechanicus cultists would actually dig deep into the mantle."

After saying that, its gaze fell on Duncan's mechanical emblem, seemingly surprised that an otherworldly evil god had infiltrated the Cult of Machines.

Didn't the angel of insight notice this otherworldly evil god?

Duncan was also a little surprised. Had he slept for so long?
Right.

Liches are supposed to be immortal.

Seeing that the other party was willing to communicate, Duncan's expression became even calmer, and he said calmly, "Have you been asleep for so long?"

"Did they flee to the underworld to escape the pursuit of the Mechanicus?"

The Earth's surface is definitely under satellite surveillance.

Its immense magical energy fluctuations would be detected by the mechanical angels of the Insight Cult in no time if it were to cast a spell on the ground.

Duncan's words seemed to ignite a spark of anger within it, and the soul fire in its eyes flickered. With a gentle reach, the ancient lich's third human form was caught in mid-air by an invisible force field, its voice hoarse as it said, "I don't care what you are? An otherworldly evil god? Or a void demon!"

"But now you're in my hands, and you're powerless to resist!"

Before it could even speak, Duncan interrupted it expressionlessly, arrogantly saying, "That's true. But so what?"

"You've simply killed one of my avatars."

"In the end, you will have to hide deep underground for millions of years until one day, the angels of the Cult of Machines discover your existence."

"Even if you hide in the Earth's core, they will find you sooner or later."

Duncan's words were like a needle piercing the lich's heart. Although it didn't know what Duncan was, it became more and more certain that he was not human, because humans would be afraid when facing liches, but the person in front of it showed no fear whatsoever.

Only someone possessed by an evil god from another world would be so careless about their life.

They have been spying on reality.

At this point, Duncan was starting to take the lead. Although there was a huge gap in strength, he was no longer playing the role of an ordinary person, but rather an otherworldly evil god possessing a human.

The calmer he remained, the more wary the lich before him became.

The lich stared at Duncan before him and slowly asked, "What are you looking for here?"

"The dwarven soul furnace?"

Duncan's expression remained indifferent, seemingly not intending to answer its question. He was just tanking for now; at worst, Duncan could just kill the third human host. With a playful expression, he said mysteriously, "I originally came for the dwarven ruins."

"But when I met you, I changed my mind."

Are you interested in working with me?

A lich and an evil god could indeed cooperate.

Given the current situation, it's impossible for the third human host to escape. The only option is to try to deceive people, and it wouldn't be wrong to say that Duncan is an evil god from another world.

His true form is even more demonic than the extraterrestrial demons.

"cooperate?"

The lich looked surprised and slowly asked, "What can you give me?"

"You're as weak as an ant right now."

Duncan remained unmoved and said calmly, "This is only temporary. Just an avatar."

"But you, how many more years can you hide? A thousand? Two thousand? Ten thousand?"

"Your soul is decaying day by day."

"One day, even the immortal lich will perish."

His words caused the lich's soul fire to flicker, as if Duncan had seen through something.

It's strong.

However, they lack divinity and are not truly immortal; they are merely undead creatures that do not die easily. Even if they continue to exist, their souls will decay over time until they eventually lose themselves completely. Liches that live too long will become mad liches.

It can only remain asleep to maintain its sanity and resist the decay of its soul.

The lich's attitude changed again, and he asked in a hoarse voice, "Can you grant me immortality?"

It no longer doubts Duncan's identity as an otherworldly evil god.

An immortal spirit.

There wasn't much that could interest it, so Duncan was just giving it a try.

Divinity is the bait.

"immortal?"

"No!"

Duncan's attitude grew increasingly arrogant as he looked down at the lich before him and slowly said, "I have helped other mortals ascend to godhood!"

"She became the goddess of witchcraft and arcane arts in that world!"

Queen Raven - Triss. Her becoming a deity was indeed a scheme orchestrated by Duncan and took hundreds of years to complete.

This situation was difficult to replicate in the medieval era, after all, the Queen of the Ravens was already very powerful.

— Detecting lies.

The lich before him was beginning to believe him, because Duncan's attitude didn't seem like a lie. It even bowed slightly and said, "If you can grant me immortality, I am willing to serve you."

Let's see if we can get something out of them first. As for whether they'll provide service or not, that's up to them.

Newly arrived otherworldly evil gods are very fragile, and it is confident that it can handle them.

However, the otherworldly evil god is indeed very generous.

Having finally entered reality, in order to gain a foothold in the real world, they often bestow powerful abilities upon cult members.

This is going to be Duncan showing some real skin.

He had no doubt that if he couldn't produce anything to intimidate the lich in front of him, it would turn ruthless in the next second and even try to extract the soul of the third human host.

Dimensional space.

Duncan was examining his cards; he didn't have much to fool the lich in front of him right now, relying almost entirely on the resources of his first human form.

He pondered for a moment, then said calmly, "Immortal power cannot be granted so easily."

"Even if I grant you a wisp of divinity, aren't you afraid I'll possess you?"

Liches can also possess bodies.

Upon hearing Duncan's words, the Lich's soul fire flickered slightly in his eyes, and a soul stone appeared in his palm at some point.

This is someone who's about to steal souls at the slightest provocation.

However, even if it steals a soul, it can only obtain an empty shell, because Duncan's true form is in a different dimension, so at most it can only obtain a large soul stone.

Unlike other mortals, they cannot directly search souls and read memories.

Duncan glanced indifferently at the soul stone in its hand, seemingly unconcerned about the lich's subtle threat, and said calmly, "Although I cannot grant you immortal divinity for the time being, I can give you other blessings."

The lich's attitude softened a bit, and he even adopted a posture of listening attentively: "If you are truly a god from another world, you will certainly not hesitate to perform a miracle."

It still harbors some doubts about Duncan's identity.

Within dimensional space.

With a thought, Duncan brought a shattered world in the lower void into his palm. This was the Annihilation Demiplane he had seized from the Demon God. It was originally intended to be the divine kingdom of Raven Queen Triss, but the Raven Queen didn't care for it at all. She herself relied on the faith of polytheism to create a world similar to Avalon.

The Annihilation Plane is indeed not the realm that true gods should have.

Duncan said calmly, "The real world suppresses my power, but if you can detach your soul from reality, I don't mind performing a miracle."

At this moment, he raised his palm, and the Annihilation Dimension in his hand seemed to have formed a faint connection with World Three.

This lich is indeed powerful.

It seemed to sense something, its soul fire flickering constantly, its expression a mixture of fear and curiosity.

Finally, it raised its palm, and with the surging wind of magic, it actually created another body out of thin air—a bare skeleton, but with the fire of the soul burning in its eye sockets.

—The Gate to Another World.

The lich actively cast a spell to connect with a spatial imprint given by Duncan, and with the opening of a spatial rift, its projected avatar entered it.

In an instant!
Prompts kept appearing on the projection page of the dimensional space.

Within the Annihilation Plane figurine held in Duncan's palm, an avatar of a lich slowly appeared. As soon as it looked up, it froze in place.

at this time.

Its soul consciousness has already partially detached from the real world.

A gray mist receded in all directions, soon revealing a desolate land covered in blood and bones.

In the distance, the sky is a shattered, blood-red sun.

At the summit of that mountain covered in blood-red thorns stood a high walled fortress made of thousands upon thousands of skeletons. Below the wall stood phantom figures, like demons clad in blood-red armor, seemingly weathered away, leaving only empty, skeletal remains.

A winding river of blood flows down from the mountaintop, encircling the place that resembles a hellish castle, its moat filled with the constantly sinking and rising corpses.

The Kingdom of Demons!
The lich's expression changed drastically; everything it saw told it that it had entered a demiplane created by a demon god.

At this moment, the deep starry sky seemed to have changed.

When the lich looked up, it saw a shocking scene it had never witnessed before: outside the spatial barrier of the Annihilation Plane, beneath the endless void, an unbelievably enormous dark giant appeared outside the world.

His palm held this annihilated demiplane, and in his hand, the lich's projection was as small as a speck of dust.

This scene was absolutely horrifying!

The scene the lich witnessed was no less terrifying than a mortal in World of Warcraft seeing Sargeras, a dark titan as large as a planet. Even though the lich had become undead, it still experienced a soul-shaking tremor akin to megalophobia.

That terrifying figure seemed to merge with the void. When its deep gaze fell down, looking down at the lich before it...

In an instant.

Its legs buckled, and it immediately knelt down.

This is no ordinary Void God! The pressure He exerts on the Lich's soul even surpasses that of witnessing the descent of the Machine God!
