This isn't a souls-like game at all.

"Your Highness is the daughter of the Lord of Life and Death. 'Other Life and Death' is a spontaneous organization formed by Curse-Bearers who serve the Lord of Life and Death. It ranks alongside the 'Tangled Dragon Horns' who serve the King Dragon, and the 'Confused Chaos' who serve the Chaos Impermanence.

"Now that the Grand Lord has disappeared, 'Other Life and Death' has tried several times to meet with the princess and ask her to become the leader of the organization..."

"Leader."

Ye Yiyi had a puzzled expression, "But the teacher refused?"

"I don't want to have anything to do with them or my father."

The witch whispered, "Since the day I left this world, this world has no connection with me anymore."

"Really?" Ye Yiyi looked at Wushanzuo thoughtfully.

"But now, they've brought 'Grace' here, trying to turn the Deep Valley into a forest to threaten the teacher... What should we do?"

"That will definitely not go as planned!"

Wushanzuo said in a deep voice, then stood up. His two palms suddenly transformed and retracted into his thick arms, from which two sharp crystal-like scimitars extended, and he took a step forward.

Just as I expected...

Ye Yiyi sighed in his heart and slowly pulled out the Moonlight Gun from behind him.

When a super-giant creature appears in the game as a symbol of glory and splendor, it most likely means that you will dismantle it or destroy it for other reasons.

But he was ready.

Ye Yiyi looked into the distance eagerly, his heart boiling with fighting spirit.

It's just a large puppet. Watch me figure out how to take it apart!

"Wu Shanzuo, go back." The witch said coldly, and suddenly poured a basin of ice water on the two of them.

"……But."

Wu Shanzuo subconsciously stopped and spoke in a hesitant tone.

"I said go back."

The witch spoke calmly, her indifferent tone tinged with a hint of unquestionable majesty.

"To attack so hastily and rashly is tantamount to seeking death!

"Although it's unclear where Other Life and Death found this 'favor,' don't forget that it was once a creature that cultivated the Divine Kingdom and fought fierce battles with numerous primordial gods!

"Even as a Kingscholar, you are no match for him. You are courting death!"

Wushanzuo was silent for a moment, then retracted his two arm blades and lowered his head slightly.

"I was reckless... I will follow your orders."

Then it turned around and walked silently in the direction it came from.

The puppet still stood motionless in the green forest, as if it had merged into the surrounding mountains and turned into a magnificent sculpture.

"teacher……"

He put the Moonlight Spear back behind him and turned to look at the expressionless witch.

"Don't worry."

The witch shook her head and said calmly,

"The development of 'Benefit' is not that fast. The operation of a large puppet like that often requires a large number of people to work together to control it.

“And after a reclamation operation, a large number of personnel are needed to maintain and repair the various equipment on the machine.

"But if it were ten thousand years from now, when the nations no longer exist... hehe!"

She sneered twice, but then heard a rapid roar of steel behind her.

"Boom boom boom!!"

The giant creature standing in the forest suddenly raised its head, took a step forward, and moved across the forest towards the pale rock wall in the distance.

"..."

The witch's tone froze, and Wu Shanzuo suddenly stopped and looked back in disbelief.

"'Blessing' has activated again!?"

"This is impossible!"

Wu Shanzuo muttered, "Unless they have an entire underground foundry to support it, where else can they find skilled servants for maintenance and repairs?"

"Ah this..."

Ye Yiyi opened her mouth slightly when she heard that, and suddenly her eyes widened.

"That's not impossible!"

He quickly took out the [Holy Magnet Key] from behind him and said solemnly:

"As far as I know, the Sons of Cyber ​​have reclaimed Hell through the Great Pit and successfully seized control of a foundry!

"And the function of this key in my hand..."

Ye Yiyi reacted and looked back at "Enhui" with shining eyes.

"...It means that the power source of the sensor puppet will automatically become silent, and enter a powerless state."

The witch and Wushanza looked at each other, then stepped forward to take the key and held it high.

Wu Shanzuo's eyes flashed a light as he glanced at the key. After a moment, he nodded.

"Yes, this item does have the function of silencing the sensor puppet."

"How many of these things do you have?" The witch handed the key to Ye Yiyi and asked at the same time.

"That's the only one."

"That's too little." The witch shook her head.

"'Benefit' isn't an ordinary sensor golem. Expecting to defeat it with it is like trying to hollow out Sky Mountain with a shovel. It's practically impossible."

Then the witch turned her head and looked at Wushanza, "Can it be reproduced?"

"No, I'm not a craftsman after all. Even if I know the structure, I can't replicate it without the corresponding equipment." Wu Shanzu shook his head.

"There's a blacksmith in the Cursed Temple," Ye Yiyi said. "If I have the blueprints, maybe I can ask him to help me build it."

"I understand."

Wu Shanza nodded. "I've already noted down the scanned structure. Once we return to the catacombs, I'll begin drawing up the blueprints. However, there are some issues I need to clarify in advance."

"You say." Ye Yiyi nodded and put away the secret key of the holy magnet.

“As the princess said, ‘Benefit’ is not a simple sensing puppet. Simply replicating this item will only have limited effect.

"Furthermore, the technology of the Cyberchildren differs from that of the land nations. They tend to study the nature of matter at a microscopic level. Therefore, if you want to create a more practical silencing device, it would be best for you to find the original blueprints of the item."

"The original blueprint?"

Ye Yiyi frowned slightly, "This is a little difficult...but I will try my best."

"Don't forget, this is an item made from the Cyberson."

The witch reminded, “Plus, they may have control of a foundry that can continuously forge skilled slaves, so they may be able to use this to determine the life and death of others.

"In other words, the Son of Cyber ​​might become your enemy, an obstacle to your progress..."

The witch said with a gloomy look, "You don't have to make enemies for yourself just to gain the Deep Valley... Have you really thought it through?"

Hearing this, Ye Yiyi was slightly stunned, frowned and said:

"Teacher, what are you talking about? The Cyberchildren are one of my enemies. Those cybernetic humans are crazy about immortality. It's more like they are eager to connect with the life and death of others who control life and death.

"And even if we don't count this relationship, does that mean I won't help the teacher?"

Ye Yiyi shook his head. "Teacher, you underestimate me. I can clearly tell who are my friends and who are there to help me. I can also clearly tell who are the people I cannot associate with and who are my enemies."

"I'm the one who said too much..."

The witch finally smiled at Ye Yiyi.

"Anyway, let's put it this way for now. Wu Shanza and I will find a way to investigate the status of 'Grace'. My beloved disciple, you go find the original blueprint, and then..."

"And Adam!" Ye Yiyi said, "'Grace' came from the direction of Campbell in the west. Dino must know the reason. And you haven't read the letter he asked Adam to bring to you yet!"

"Yes! I almost forgot!"

The witch slapped her forehead and suddenly glared at Ye Yiyi.

"I spent the entire night teaching you! I didn't even have time to watch!"

"???"

Can you blame me?

Ye Yiyi was stunned.

After returning to the catacombs, the witch quickly found the letter, and in her study in the mansion, she untied the red mud on the letter without any hindrance and took out the letter.

After a moment, the witch raised her head with a serious expression and looked at Ye Yiyi who was waiting silently.

"Things are worse than we imagined... My beloved disciple, your actions in destroying the Dragon Soul Fortress Research Institute and completely defeating the Tangled Dragon Horns have made the Curse Master, who controls the life and death of others, aware of the threat.

"Now they have moved from underground to above ground and started to operate openly in the Campbell Kingdom.

"Where is Dino?" Ye Yiyi asked with a frown.

"Dino is trapped in a construction factory within Campbell."

The witch raised the letter in her hand with a serious expression.

"This is a letter asking for help. Dino discovered the secret of the Curse Controllers!"

Chapter 406 [Eternal Death] and [Dark and Deep Torrent]

"secret……"

Ye Yiyi chewed on the word carefully, and thought of the experiment discovered in the Dragon Soul Fortress.

If the secret of the tangled dragon horns is to try to extract the "King's Dragon Power" and create the Blood God Flying Dragon to complete the "great cause" that the King's Dragon hopes for.

Then what the Curse Master of Other Life and Death is doing, or rather the secret, is naturally related to the goal of the Lord of Life and Death.

Thinking of this, he asked.

"Did the letter say what the secret was?"

"No, and even if there were, it would not be written in the letter."

The witch shook her head, leaned heavily against the back of the leather chair, and rolled her eyes to the sky.

"No matter which organization the Curse Benders belong to, they are all a bunch of rats hiding in the gutter and plotting.

"Unless you raid their homes and catch them all, you'll never know what their real purpose is."

"These people are really just like rats." Ye Yiyi nodded in agreement, "You can see rat droppings they leave behind everywhere.

"What about Dino? What about him?"

"I'm afraid there's no way to take care of him right now."

The witch shook her head grimly, "Now, the Campbell Kingdom, from top to bottom, is almost entirely controlled by the lives of others.

"This kind of thing has never happened before. Those arrogant old antiques look down on the people living next door. If I didn't need experimental materials, I would probably never have anything to do with them until I die.

"They must have encountered some terrible obstacle, and they must rely on the labor force of secular countries to carry out full expansion."

"A terrifying obstacle?"

Ye Yiyi raised her eyebrows slightly, feeling a little doubtful.

Could this obstacle be the 'God Slayer'?

After all, those curse-controllers with tangled dragon horns treated him as a ghost. They would run away if they could and avoid fighting if they could. If they really couldn't avoid it and had to fight him, they would act like they were ready to die.

In other words, the current situation may be caused by the Tangled Dragon Horns sharing the news of the existence of the "God Slayer" with others in life and death.

"But am I being a little too narcissistic when I think this way?"

It would be a bit conceited to interpret the other party's reaction as "fear" of oneself when you are still unsure whether it is true or not.

"But that's just my guess, don't take it too seriously."
