Different World: The Devil's Coming

The Skeleton King was silent for a while before answering Mo Fan.

"I can not do it."

Mo Fan's face turned ugly, and the power in his body began to surge. The monsters below also began to roar. He had originally planned that if the Skeleton King did not call them back, then he would just start a battle and kill them all.

If it weren't for the fact that the undead creatures radiate quickly, the enemies killed might become their own kind in the next second. And if he killed the undead creatures in front of him, he might not be able to run around in other mazes.

Otherwise Mo Fan would have taken action directly.

"...You are more frank than your father, but your temperament is not calm enough."

Seeing Mo Fan’s agitation, the Skeleton King spoke coldly.

This admonishing look made Mo Fan's face even uglier. Seeing that the Void Monster was about to attack, the Skeleton King finally opened his mouth to explain.

"The undead have an instinctive desire for the flesh and blood of the living. I can intimidate them, but I cannot command them."

"How did you do it before?"

Mo Fan narrowed his eyes and said indifferently. He remembered that at the Skeleton King's order, all the undead retreated and fled into this maze.

"Fear. Even the undead feel fear. We who have died once are even more afraid of death. The previous war was a deal. When the deal is over, we naturally have to retreat. It just so happens that the humans over there have repelled the undead and are even showing signs of counterattacking. Since they haven't eaten any flesh and blood and are about to die, they will naturally leave."

"So... now they can't feel fear and just want to eat people?"

"That's right. Even I can't stop this."

"…Then why did you ask me to come here?"

Mo Fan was silent for a while before asking him why he called him over.

"Kill someone for me."

The soul fire in the Skeleton King's eyes suddenly became restless, and Mo Fan could feel his anger.

Mo Fan looked at the Skeleton King and asked softly.

"tell me the story."

Mo Fan did not refuse, because he seemed to feel that there might be some areas that could be manipulated.

The will of the world told him that although a large number of undead creatures had escaped from the maze here, endangering many lives, none of the powerful undead creatures had left.

And the deal that Skeleton King mentioned? If nothing unexpected happens, it is a deal with the Controller.

The maze was lost because the controller used the power of the void to destroy the power of the goddess in the maze, breaking the rules of the maze and allowing the monster to escape.

Then, the person that Skeleton King wanted to kill might not be a powerful human or a strong adventurer. More likely, it was someone who controlled the person.

"He called himself the Spreader. The power he controlled was the plague. He could use poison to create a plague that could spread over a large area. At the same time, he was the one who made the deal with me. After the deal was completed, he stationed here with me and told me that one day, we would be able to get out. By then, we might be able to live peacefully on the continent."

From Skeleton King's description, Mo Fan finally understood the deal between the Controller and Skeleton King.

The Skeleton King led a group of undead souls and lived deep underground, hiding there and avoiding the pursuit of the goddess and the church. But such a lifeless day would make even the undead souls go crazy.

The undead are all lives that have experienced death, and they all have memories of when they were alive. So the more powerful the undead are, the more they yearn for life on the ground.

Just then, the Controller found them, and the Communicator made a deal with them on behalf of the Controller.

They were responsible for starting a war and capturing Mo Fan. This was what the Skeleton King was going to do.

And the controller promised them that he would give them the life they wanted.

The goddess's maze was within their expectations. After all, the war had broken out and they couldn't hide any longer. The goddess would not let them hide any longer.

They did not resist and were locked in the depths of the maze. The rules of the maze prevented them from leaving, but they could feel that there were endless adventurers coming to challenge this place every day.

Fighting and life and death make them feel that they are still alive.

They seem to like living here, even if they are just maze monsters.

It’s not that there haven’t been powerful undead creatures who have questioned this attitude. After all, the undead are born to be the opposite of the living, and they are born to kill.

Unfortunately, Skeleton King was a king in his lifetime, a powerful king, and he created a prosperous kingdom.

The king who killed Dile's wife can be considered a descendant of the Skeleton King.

No matter how cruel that king was, it is easy to imagine how powerful the creator of a kingdom that could occupy an entire continent must be.

After his death, the Skeleton King was transformed into an undead by the Necromancer. Due to his strength, after he turned into an undead, he rushed towards the Skeleton Marshal at the fastest speed.

After the Necromancer was killed, no one could control him anymore.

He retained his consciousness and did not want to kill living beings, so he hid himself. After becoming the Skeleton King, a group of undead gathered around him. He could not stop them, and perhaps did not want to stop them.

"If they are all around me, I can deter them and prevent them from causing trouble for the country."

But there are too many undead, and there will always be some who want to go out and slaughter weak humans.

When facing these undead, the Skeleton King never spares his sword and always kills them with one strike.

At this point, the core strength of the Skeleton King was right in front of Mo Fan. They had absolute power and absolute discipline. Perhaps they were just like the human army, showing the highest respect and loyalty to the Skeleton King.

Therefore, the betrayal of the communicators is an insult to them.

"I used to think that the peace he talked about meant that humans would accept us just like they accepted you demons. But I was wrong. What he originally meant was that if all the living beings on the continent died, then this continent would become a paradise for the dead, and that would be peace for us."

After the Skeleton King finished speaking, he was silent for a long time. Mo Fan did not reply either. After all, the amount of information was a bit too much.

Mo Fan had seen the information about the Skeleton King before, but it only recorded that he was the founder of a glorious country. No one had ever mentioned that he was the original king of the country that killed Di Le's wife.

"In that case, I think I will try my best to kill him. After all, that will be helpful to me. But you, are you... really the king?"

When the Skeleton King heard this, his tone was full of hostility.

"Of course. Is there any benefit in lying to you about my identity?"
