The Artifact Forger from the Beginning of Collapse

“One second has passed. In this area where I have frozen time and space, no one but me can move!” With a triumphant smile on her face, Esdeath strode toward Chen Li.

"Two seconds have passed, and I'm already beside you, but you're powerless to do anything." Esdeath's fingers gently touched Chen Li's cheek, then she gently lifted Chen Li's chin.

"Three seconds have passed. Hmm, not bad. It has a pleasing face. Looking at it this way, it's not so annoying after all."

"Thank you for the compliment."

"You're welcome..."

"Whoosh!" The sharp, icy longsword pierced straight towards Chen Li, but it couldn't harm him in the slightest.

Chen Li did not block Esdeath's attack; it was just that the power of the ice could no longer harm Chen Li.

"I forgot to tell you, as a transmigrator, I possess the ability to be immune to all time and fate. And consuming the Ice Fairy's wings has given me maxed-out ice resistance, meaning ice can't harm me. Dear General Esdeath, see you in 30 seconds. I look forward to your loyalty." Looking at the astonished Esdeath, Chen Li smiled, while a divine sword that blotted out the sky appeared in the heavens.

"Tai Xu...Sword God!"

Esdeath VS Taixu Sword God

Taixu Sword God wins!

Esdeath suffered a crushing defeat today!

Chapter 210 Sirin: Brave Herrscher, enjoy Chen Li first!

"Gulp! I lost! Kill me now." Esdeath was resurrected at full strength, but she no longer had any intention of fighting.

We can't beat them by a little.

Heaven knows from which corner these demons and monsters suddenly appeared?

Why can't I beat even one of them?

"Wake up, I've already taken back the resurrection artifact. If you die again, you'll really be dead. Don't fall in love with the taste of death." Chen Li walked up to Esdeath and gently patted her face with the half of Esdeath's sword that he had left to eat.

“…Alright, I understand. So where do you want the troops I bring? As long as the quality of the soldiers is high enough, I can conquer a vast territory for the Empire!” Esdeath’s voice was filled with ambition.

Esdeath has accepted reality; the reality is that these people are not human at all.

Moreover, Esdeath could sense that she had lost control of her own life because of the contract.

But it doesn’t matter.

The law of the jungle prevails, and this is a life motto that Esdeath has always firmly believed in.

They can't even beat their own child, so they deserve to be trampled underfoot.

But given time to work hard, Esdeath believed that one day she would be able to trample all those who had put her under their feet.

Esdeath awakened the ability to stop time after dying only twice today. She doesn't even dare to imagine how far she can develop if she continues to grow.

I, Esdeath, will one day reach the top step by step!

Please call me Gauss then!

"No, behind you."

"Gooji!"

When Esdeath turned around and saw the soldiers Chen Li had assigned to her, she felt like the sky had fallen.

“Slime is ice, and soldiers are soldiers. The word for soldier is a homophone for ice, so these are the soldiers you will be leading,” Chen Li explained.

That's really hilarious.

"Shut up."

【okay】

"Is this the kind of troops you sent me? They can't even defend a region, let alone expand our territory!" Esdeath asked incredulously.

“You can’t beat it,” Chen Li said.

"how is this possible?"

If I can't beat you, can't I beat this lump of slime?

Enraged, Esdeath swung an ice blade and stabbed the ice slime fiercely.

Then... the slime not only didn't even get a speck of dirt on its clothes, but it even got a little bigger.

"This thing is immortal. Its shield is immune to ice damage and can absorb and store all the cold air."

"..."

Esdeath's attack seemed to trigger the slimes' automatic counterattack function. Two ice slimes that were extremely close together began to charge up their power, and then they bounced and crashed down on Esdeath with the force of a mountain.

Esdeath merely glanced up at the shadow in the sky, then gently raised her hand, and an ice pillar shot into the air, directly knocking the two ice slimes away.

Esdeath couldn't defeat the Ice Slime because Chen Li ate Esdeath's longsword, but the Ice Slime couldn't defeat Esdeath either.

"Gurgle gurgle gurgle gurgle!"

“They said they would definitely come back,” Chen Li translated.

"I don't need you to translate for me, but if it can store cold air, it seems like a pretty good soldier." After a brief test, Esdeath was fairly satisfied with the proposal for a slime soldier.

Putting everything else aside, it's enough that it helps me store cold energy.

"But where are my soldiers? I have three great generals under my command."

"You mean the Three Beast Warriors?"

"Yes."

"The two slimes you just knocked away are two of them. The other one, Riva, is still in Yakumo Yukari's gap," Chen Li said.

Of Esdeath's three beast warriors, only Riva is a human being.

"???"

"I forgot to tell you, these ice slimes are all transformed from people who have committed sins. Each of them has their own sentence, and they will only turn back after the sentence is served. And these ice slimes are now everywhere in the capital."

"Sentence? That's an interesting concept." Since her three subordinates weren't actually dead, and she wasn't as strong as her opponent, Esdeath was willing to accept defeat.

This also means that Esdeath no longer needs to care about the life or death of the "ice," because they will never die.

While Esdeath may be ruthless towards her enemies, she is kind to her soldiers.

Esdeath doesn't have any other bad habits, except that she loves fighting, battling, and war.

Although this is a pretty big problem.

"Chen Li, this is the last sinner in the Empire who hasn't turned into a slime. I've brought him to you." After Yakumo Yukari came to Chen Li's side, she snapped her fingers, and a gap opened up, from which Minister Ernest fell out.

"It's been a long time, my dear Lord! I've missed you dearly." Ernest was in a bad mental state, seemingly having suffered a lot of mental torment during the intervening period. When he saw Chen Li, his eyes lit up and he quickly crawled over.

However, before Ernest could even get close to Chen Li, he was blocked by a Void Spear that was stuck 5 centimeters in front of him.

"My Lord, what do you mean? I'm Ernest, the one who listens to you the most. You traded three punches for my eternal loyalty, and you promised to let me go afterward." Ernest was in tears.

"Let you go? I agree, but many people won't agree." Chen Li shook his head.

Even a three-year-old in the capital city knows that Ernest deserves to die.

Moreover, Chen Li dared not accept Ernest's offer of allegiance, after all, the emperor he had previously served was poisoned by him.

"But...but you promised me."

"Oh, did I tell you my name?"

“Holy Lord, your name is Holy Lord! You told me it yourself.” Ernest nodded repeatedly.

“That’s right! As everyone knows, the Holy Lord doesn’t keep his promises.”

"Snap!" Chen Li snapped his fingers, and the golden chains instantly pierced through Ernest's limbs. The magical power acted on Ernest's body, and light surged forth.

Amidst Ernest's anguish and wails, as the light faded, an ice slime appeared before everyone.

"114514 years in prison? Goodness, you've committed quite a few crimes."

Chen Li was utterly astonished by Ernest's sins.

"How many years?" Esdeath was taken aback.

"114514."

"..." Esdeath pondered, she was probably the one with the shortest lifespan in her army.

Based on Esdeath's understanding of the nobles and officials of the capital, if Ernest had a sentence of more than 100,000 years, then the others should have had sentences of at least 1,800 to 1,000 years.

Oh no, now we're really talking about lifespan.

With Chen Li sweeping away the greatest filth in the capital and even the empire, and with Chen Li's support and Yakumo Yukari's help, Najenda stripped powerful criminals of their power and imprisoned them in every city within the empire, thus completing this sweeping cleanup that spanned the entire empire.

Chen Li's cleansing was recognized, and the merits on the [Cleansing Master] Miracle Card, which had been reduced due to Chen Li turning countless sinners into slimes, instantly received a reward of dozens of times.

Each time a cleanup is completed, Chen Li will receive a corresponding random reward.

And this time, what I received was...

"A golden Slime King statue?" Chen Li stared at the fist-sized lump of gold in his hand, lost in thought.

Do I look like someone who is short of money?
