"Susu, unfold Margaret's Pure Land."

"Alright, the 911th experiment begins!" Su Su immediately opened the Pure Land, her entire body once again transforming into Margaret's vessel, and began to open the Pure Land, which was used to imprison demons like the underworld.

At this point, the Lich King had completely lost his struggle and consciousness. After hundreds of tortures and experiments, the Lich King, who had stitched together the Shub insectoids and the old Demon King's youngest son, Karl, had lost consciousness and breath after more than 200 attempts.

The Lich King ceased thinking.

But Xue's Law still didn't think about stopping the experiment. After nearly a thousand experiments, he gradually found the characteristics of the Lich King and extracted the Lich King's true core.

It was a spell that resided within the Lich King's soul fire, which Xue Lude named "Eternal Slavery".

After so many experiments in Su Su's Pure Land, Xue's Law and Su Su both understood the nature of this eternal enslavement.

There is no absolute immortality or absolute invincibility in the world; any powerful force must pay a corresponding price.

Just as Abdullah Hassan became the strongest being second only to the Mimic King, the price he paid was being completely soaked in nothingness. He has now lost all his senses, emotions, and memories, with only a last shred of obsession remaining in the masquerade ball.

The Lich King can resurrect without limit? What, then, is the price?
The price was actually paid by others, and it was this technique that Xue's law named "eternal enslavement".

This is an extremely domineering technique; Xue Lude even sensed the power of authority within it, an authority called "Immortality."

This is the authority of the Eighth Apostle!
Just as the power of the self-destructive in Xue's Law stems from the price of abusing the cursed blood, the power of the Eighth Apostle, the Undying King, which carries the concept of "immortality," will ensure that all units carrying this power will never die.

The price to pay was the Eighth Apostle himself!

He needs to merge a part of his soul into this authority in order to create an immortal Lich King.

In essence, the Lich King is merely an avatar of the Eighth Apostle, fused with local corpses, that does not cause tension in the world's consciousness!

This power allowed the Eighth Apostle's undead scourge to sweep across the universe, becoming a cosmic catastrophe on par with the Mind Flayers, the Swarm, and the Tree of Souls.

The price was that his soul was also in a state of being split apart, but the Eighth Apostle most likely found a way to avoid this side effect, similar to how a part of it became a "perpetual slave" that was separated out.

This is an immortal authority. At the most critical juncture in centuries, He can also reclaim all eternal enslavement, instantly restoring Him to His full glory, perhaps even a power more powerful than that of the preceding apostles!

He even tried to use the side effects of his authority as positive ones.

After thoroughly testing the essence of this eternal enslavement spell, Xue Law fell silent.

As apostles who entered the Mist Council at almost the same time, the power and authority of the Eighth Apostle, the Undying King, far surpassed that of the incomprehensible Ninth Apostle.

The power of this authority goes beyond that; any entity subject to "eternal enslavement" will be completely controlled by Him, resulting in the total enslavement of body, mind, and soul.

The power of this authority is such that even if any apostle were to fall into its trap, the Eighth Apostle could potentially control them through eternal enslavement.

Of course, this is under ideal circumstances, because it is difficult for apostles to be affected by the Scourge and become undead. This curse may be broken by various methods as soon as it hits them.

So, theoretically speaking, this art of eternal enslavement could even completely control an apostle.

So, when the Eighth Apostle actively turns an apostle into a ghost, is he able to control himself and not manipulate that apostle?

Eternal enslavement is based on the authority of "immortality," so even the Eighth Apostle himself can only use the power of this authority, and cannot completely control it.

Just as Xue's Law can utilize the power of nothingness, but cannot control nothingness from affecting itself.

So, Xue's Law came up with an idea!

While it is possible for an apostle to be eternally enslaved, it is unlikely for an apostle to become an undead. However, if a person who was originally an undead recently ascended to become an apostle, could anyone resist the temptation of completely enslaving another apostle?
"The 911th experiment: In the Pure Land, completely devour 'Eternal Slavery' through the power of nothingness, and determine whether it can cause harm to its source, the Eighth Apostle!" Xue's voice rang out.

Within the Pure Land, this is actually Margaret's own subspace, a region she specifically uses to devour and bear the authority of another world.

However, now it has become Xue's Law and Su Su's experimental site. Even if something goes wrong here, at most Su Su's rank will drop, but it will not have any impact on other areas.

Using nothingness here to devour the soul fragments of the Eighth Apostle in eternal enslavement will not allow the Eighth Apostle's true form to find this place in reverse.

Soon, Xue Dinglu stopped suppressing the power of nothingness, and now he was able to directly devour any unit that came into contact with his soul.

In reality, it involves throwing objects that have direct contact with one's soul into the vast void, causing the void monster within one's body to grow again.

"Ugh, ah!!" A shrill wail came from the spell of eternal enslavement, but the distorted monster of nothingness seemed to sense new energy again, and wrapped the soul fragment of eternal enslavement in its arms, refining it in an instant.

The piercing, agonizing howls continued until the ethereal monster swallowed up both sound and light.

Xue Dinglu felt that the power of nothingness within his body had increased significantly again. Although it had not yet allowed him to directly reach the A-level of nothingness, the power of this authority seemed quite satisfying and continued to expand.

"Experiment, success! Plan in place!" Xue Luding really wanted to put on a pair of glasses and then hold the frame.

At this point, all the steps of the plan have been completed. Next, all that is needed is to adjust oneself to the best condition, and then one can kill the Eighth Apostle in one fell swoop!

It was merely taking advantage of His greed; if the eighth apostle had no greed at all.

Even if he becomes an undead, if he still has no greed for himself, then Xue's plan will be useless.

Although it was a gamble, for Xue Lude, it was simply a matter of becoming an undead again.

The stakes in this gamble were minuscule, but the rewards of victory were immense.

As the ancients said, going all in is a sign of wisdom!
So, all in!

Let's see if the Eighth Apostle dares to follow!

……

Meanwhile, in the subspace, in a hidden area unknown to anyone, lies the location of the Eighth Apostle, the Undead King.

"Hmm, so a fragment has been obliterated just like that?" said a creature that seemed to be constructed from pure darkness and shadow.

"Let me see, is this the Lich King I created decades ago? I remember that world; it was a very powerful one. Even in a world where Apostle-level creatures could be born without fruits, there were still a large number of creatures that were infinitely close to Apostles..."

"If it were that world, with the support of the world's consciousness, it would be possible for a character to be born that could completely obliterate the fragments of my soul."

"But it is precisely in such a world that the fruits it produces are incomparably powerful!"

The Eighth Apostle, a joyful voice emanated from that shapeless shadow.

The laughter echoed throughout the entire subspace. If one could observe from a godlike perspective, they would see that only this shadow remained in the subspace, enveloping and devouring everything. In the end, only this twisted, writhing shadow remained in the entire subspace. This entire subspace was the true form of the Eighth Apostle!

……

Xue Dinglu left the consciousness space, giving Su Su a break as well.

He only spent less than 4 hours in the old demon king's homeland, but spent an unknown amount of time studying the Lich King in the consciousness space.

Even Su Su was exhausted. This girl, who has now been promoted to Xue Law's assistant, collapsed onto her bed and fell fast asleep as soon as she got back to the dormitory.

Xue Dinglu himself wasn't much better, but he persevered. Now, looking at his phone, he muttered, "Has two days already passed?"

Two days...

They conducted nearly a thousand experiments in total. After several hundred experiments, the Lich King stopped thinking, while they continued testing until they had completely figured out all of the Lich King's secrets.

Thus, by following the clues, they could find out the information about the Eighth Apostle.

He also needs to rest before he can continue with the next step, and this is not a plan he can complete alone; he needs a partner.

Xue's first thought was actually Abdullah Hassan, the guy who infected the most terrifying nothingness in the entire universe.

If this person can get to the Mist Council, he might even have the chance to drag most of the apostles down to hell.

The second thing that came to mind was Mother Earth.

Because as long as he is on Earth, Xue's Law is absolutely invincible. If the Eighth Apostle dares to fight him here, Xue's Law can show him what a dark hand is.

What does it mean to be absolutely invincible!

As for Hassan, to be honest, he wasn't very familiar with Xue's Law, but he still included it in the alternative plan in the end.

Xue's plan was simple: turn himself into an undead, attract the attention of the Eighth Apostle, and at the same time, Xue would gradually increase his resistance.

Just like fishing, the Eighth Apostle was initially lured into the trap, and the stakes were gradually increased until he was completely lured into the bait. That was when Schröding released the Void Monster.

Let nothingness devour everything!
Along with the soul of the Eighth Apostle, and Xue's Law himself.

Because he is on Earth, and because he himself is a "suitable candidate" for the power of nothingness, he will definitely last longer than the Eighth Apostle!
In essence, I am no longer "human" and should be classified as a "Heroic Spirit".

Therefore, Xue's law is very confident in his own safety.

This is a chance to kill an apostle without any security risks!

Xue Luding raised his head and looked at the sun in the sky.

He saw the sunlight shining on the village; it seemed to be early morning, and the dewy air smelled especially pleasant.

In the village, some children put on their red scarves, and with their parents urging them on, they put on their schoolbags and prepared to go to school.

On the bustling street in the distance, Xue Dinglu could even see the electric bikes and cars stuck in traffic in front of the elementary school on the next street.

What would happen if the Scourge of the Undead broke out here?
The thought popped into his mind for a moment, but Xue immediately banished it.

He will not allow such a thing to happen, absolutely not!

He will nip any apostle, any natural disaster, or any danger that could affect this place in the bud, no matter the cost or the risk. He will absolutely not allow any apostle to dare to touch this land.

"Apostles... I must destroy all the apostles..." Xue Dinglu murmured softly.

It was as if a promise was etched into his bones and soul. He had thought that one generation had endured the suffering of several generations to create the peaceful world we have today.

Then I can too!

If I can kill all the apostles, then no one in the world will ever die from the greed of these twisted monsters again.

Apostles, it is time to pay the price for your sins.

……

"Dad!" Little Dragon Girl's voice suddenly came, and then Xue Luding felt a pain like being hit on the chest by a rocket.

The ribs seemed to be groaning.

"Hiss... No, no, no..." Xue Dinglu clutched his chest as the cursed blood began its analysis. Good heavens, his bone was indeed fractured...

He glared speechlessly at his eldest daughter, who looked like she had done something wrong. Xue Dinglu even patted her head.

Sure enough, she's grown horns... If it weren't for those horns, her headbutt wouldn't have been so powerful...

Speechless, Xue Luding roughly ruffled his eldest daughter's hair, turning it into a mess, and explained, "You can't bang your head against other people's chests like that anymore. I'm fine, but I'm afraid you'll smash your other friends to pieces..."

The girl's face fell instantly, but she still quickly pulled Xue Dinglu into the house.

It was still early morning, and the three people, one adult and two children, were sitting in the room eating noodles. Everyone was happy when they discovered that Xue Dinglu had arrived.

“Teacher, you’re finally back! If Little Dragon hadn’t said he’d seen you before, I would have thought you were…” Fafnir immediately put down her bowl and came to Xue’s side.

The second daughter simply sat quietly on Xue Dinglu's shoulders, nuzzling him.

My aunt looked at the scene and said, "I'll go fry you an egg. You haven't had breakfast yet, have you?"

"Hmm..." Xue Dinglu nodded, smiling as if all his previous fatigue had vanished.

The family, who had scraped together every penny, were able to gather together for once, and Xue Dinglu smiled and teased his two little daughters.

The weather outside is getting colder; in the early morning, you can already exhale white mist with your breath. The world is still terrible, but home is warm.

After personally putting scarves on Fafnir and Little Dragon Girl, Xue Luding said, as if he were a real father, "Fafnir, take your sister to the library to read. Come back early at noon. I'll rest for a few hours and have lunch as usual."

"Okay, we're going to the library. Daddy, get some rest!" The little dragon girl, wearing dinosaur gloves, waved, and the two prepared to go to the library to play. (End of Chapter)
