Under the immense power of the celestial-tier BOSS, the Monarch, the entire scene fell silent.
At this moment, Zhang Yue couldn't help but worry: 'Is this guy just using me to revive him, only to backstab me afterward?'
However, no matter the outcome, Zhang Yue had no regrets.
After all, by reviving the Monarch, Zhang Yue had already received the rewards for the super-divine-level hidden quest.
The Monarch fixed his gaze on Zhang Yue.
In the next second, he suddenly teleported from a hundred meters away to stand right in front of Zhang Yue.
["Not good! The Monarch is going to attack Zero God!"]
["The farmer and the snake? Damn old Monarch! Zero God, be careful!"]
As the livestream audience held their breath in suspense, the scene suddenly took an unexpected turn.
The once-imposing and untouchable Monarch walked up to Zhang Yue, patted him on the shoulder, and said kindly, "You revived me. As promised, I will give you half of the Hell Dynasty. Now, tell me, what else do you want? I will try my best to fulfill it!"
Everyone was dumbfounded.
Zhang Yue thought for a moment and said, "I don't really want your half of the dynasty."
The Monarch obviously misunderstood Zhang Yue's words, gritted his teeth, and said, "Fine, one price—80% of the territory for you. But stop bargaining with me! With my status, I need at least a little space to stand!"
"You misunderstood…" Zhang Yue said, a bit speechless. "I mean, I don't want your dynasty."
"If possible, could you give me the scroll and the imperial seal?"
Zhang Yue had noticed that after triggering the quest earlier, these two items had also appeared on the Monarch.
Currently, Zhang Yue still hadn't unlocked the secret of the Otherworld portal.
Based on what he knew, the secret was hidden in the scroll.
As for the imperial seal, Zhang Yue intended to use it to find a way to revive the Hell Spirit Clan and save Cherry.
So Zhang Yue had to retrieve these two items from the Monarch.
Unexpectedly, the Monarch was extremely generous. Without a second thought, he immediately agreed, "These two items are nothing but useless junk to me now. If you want them, take them."
At the side, Moon Mark couldn't help but sigh, "This Monarch's emotional intelligence is really 'high'."
"What's wrong? Wasn't he just being honest?"
Seraph said, "With his celestial-tier BOSS strength, why would he need the imperial seal to rule the Hell Dynasty?"
"Without the seal, even the Four Great Clans wouldn't dare defy him easily."
"As for the scroll, it seems it was a preparation the Monarch left behind a hundred years ago before his death for his future revival. Now that he has successfully revived, it's useless."
Moon Mark countered Seraph, "Still, something others want—even if it's useless to you—you shouldn't call it junk."
Seraph replied, "But isn't it just junk?"
Moon Mark gave Seraph an incredulous look. "Your emotional intelligence is off the charts. No wonder you're still single."
Seraph retorted, "Can you just talk without making it personal?"
After Zhang Yue made his request, he immediately obtained the scroll and imperial seal from the Monarch.
The Monarch then shifted his gaze to the Four Kings.
"Given the circumstances, do you have anything to say?"
The Four Leaders quickly tried to defend themselves. "Forgive us, Monarch. We were blinded before, but from now on, we will have no disloyalty toward you."
The Monarch said, "I'll give you a task. Complete it within three days, and I will spare your lives."
The Four Leaders exchanged glances, as if clinging to a thread of hope amidst despair.
"Please, command us, Your Majesty!"
"A hundred years ago, you used the Great Heaven and Earth Array to kill me. Before my death, to protect my daughter, I sealed her memories and exiled her to the human world."
"Find her for me. If I don't see her in three days, you will all pay with your lives."
The Four Leaders were shocked and frightened. "Rest assured, Your Majesty. We will do everything to find your daughter." [T/N: Can it be Su Jinyan?]
Meanwhile, Zhang Yue thought: 'Finally, I can unlock the secret of the Otherworld portal.'
However, to activate the imperial seal, the Monarch's blood was required.
Clearly, the Monarch understood Zhang Yue's intention and said,"My blood is extremely precious. At most, I'll give you a single drop!"
Zhang Yue smiled. "Thank you, then."
The Monarch suddenly drew out a large sword.
After some thought, he seemed to realize the sword was too large—cutting his wrist with it might end up killing him right after being revived.
So he switched to a small knife.
With a swift motion, he sliced his palm, and golden blood began to flow out.
Zhang Yue was just about to use the imperial seal to collect the blood when suddenly, the ground began to shake violently.
From the still-open portal of the Spirit Realm Dungeon behind the Monarch, thousands of black auras surged out.
One of the black auras followed the wound on the Monarch's hand and invaded his body.
The Monarch staggered backward, seemingly unsteady on his feet.
Immediately afterward, endless dark energy flooded into the Monarch's body.
The livestream audience was shocked.
["What's happening to the Monarch?"]
["Smoking is prohibited in public places!"]
"…"
Witnessing the scene, Ice Emperor was alarmed. "Not good! He's being possessed by the dungeon's evil forces."
Seraph was incredulous. "A celestial-tier BOSS can be possessed so easily?"
Moon Mark said, "He's just revived after a hundred years of slumber. His strength hasn't fully recovered. Right now, he's at his weakest—it's entirely possible to possess him."
Ice Emperor urgently shouted at Zhang Yue, "Stop the possession quickly!"
Of course, Zhang Yue had already realized this and began casting spells without waiting for Ice Emperor to speak.
BOOM!
An SS-tier magic shield enveloped the Monarch.
However, the evil forces soon broke through the shield and continued to invade the Monarch's body.
Because the ones attempting to possess the Monarch weren't ordinary evil forces.
They were the spirits of the 99 divine-tier BOSSes and the emperor-tier BOSS Death Knight Boone that Zhang Yue had previously slain in the Spirit Realm Dungeon.
"Not good! The Monarch is being possessed! Stop it now!"
The Four Leaders also noticed something was wrong and intervened.
Of course, it wasn't because they had suddenly decided to protect their Monarch out of loyalty.
Rather, they understood that the Monarch had at least given them a chance and hadn't killed them outright.
If the Monarch were possessed by these evil forces and lost his consciousness, he would be controlled by the Spirit Realm Dungeon's evil energy.
At that point, he would undoubtedly massacre the entire Hell Dynasty.
By then, not only would the Four Clans be exterminated, but even passing dogs would likely be slaughtered by the Monarch.
The Four Leaders rushed toward the Monarch.
But ultimately, they were a step too late.
BOOM!
With a thunderous explosion, the Monarch unleashed a powerful force that sent the Four Leaders flying.
Then, the golden flames on the Monarch's body were overtaken by purple ghostly fire.
A menacing aura emanated from him.
Ice Emperor's heart sank. "It's over… He's been possessed…"
