Global Game: AFK In The Zombie Apocalypse Game-Chapter 2564 Resurrection
Chapter 2564 Resurrection
"Unfortunately, the remnants of the Empress's will were not enough to facilitate her complete resurrection."
"The Empress had to settle for less and sought a new vessel."
"As the loyal servants of the Empress, we had been waiting—waiting for her to find a suitable body, waiting for her to awaken once more and descend upon the death realm."
Fang Heng furrowed his brow.
To unify the entire death realm, Empress Persephone's power was undoubtedly formidable.
Yet, from Cliff's words, it seemed she had failed in her homeland?
In the undead council hall, a profound silence enveloped the room.
Everyone watched the situation in the mirrors, eager to glean any understanding of what Cliff was saying from his expressions.
Cliff's phantom slowly turned to Fang Heng and said, "After inheriting the will of the Empress, two distinct wills will exist within your body. You will gain the Empress's power, but you must also perfect her will, becoming the new master of the death realm."
As soon as he finished speaking, a game hint refreshed in Fang Heng's vision.
[Hint: The player completed a special mission-Trial of the Master of the Death Realm. The player triggered the next phase of the mission-Inheritance of Empress Persephone (choice).]
Mission name: Inheritance of Empress Persephone (choice).
Description: After undergoing numerous trials, you successfully entered the depths of Empress Persephone's mausoleum, locating the Land of Hibernation of her will. The high priestess of the death realm, founded by Empress Persephone, will guide you in fusing with the remnants of her soul's will, inheriting the strength of Empress Persephone.
Mission choice 1: Accept Cliff's guidance to complete the fusion of the soul's will (The fusion probability may yield unknown effects, with a chance of the player's will being obliterated. Players should choose carefully).
Mission choice 2: Refuse the mission requirements (Warning: This choice will significantly decrease the player's friendship with Cliff and is likely to result in a break with Empress Persephone. It may also affect the player's current bloodline skill-Commander-level Death God bloodline, and there is a high probability of combat with Cliff).
Description: This decision mission will alter the course of the game, so players should choose wisely.
[Hint: The player's Greed demonic seed special effect activates, allowing the player to choose both options simultaneously. After completing the decision mission, the player can choose to delay the mission settlement time (up to 72 hours)].
[Hint: Since this decision mission has no associated rewards, the player cannot gain additional rewards by completing both options].
What would you choose?
Li Shaoqiang and Tan Shuo also saw the mission hint and turned their attention to Fang Heng.
Would he accept the will of the Empress?
It sounded nice, but how could he be certain that he would not be consumed by the Empress's will?
Fang Heng and Tan Shuo felt the stone slabs in their hands heat up dangerously.
The instructors of the undead council, although unable to hear their conversation, likely had an inkling of what was about to unfold.
Dickey was especially anxious, his hands gripping his scepter so tightly that veins were popping.
Fang Heng!
Please don't be swayed by Cliff!
Empress Persephone had already reached a god-level stage, her power could only be described as terrifying.
Not to mention that there was still an ice crystal imprint of Empress Persephone in Fang Heng's sea of consciousness.
He should be no match for her!
In the mirror, Fang Heng fell into silence.
With the demonic seed within him, his will was incredibly strong.
When compared to the Empress, it was hard to say who would come out on top.
If the mission had required him to inherit the will of the death knight, he would have agreed without hesitation.
After all, the will of the demonic seed was far stronger than that of the death knight, and he was confident he could easily eliminate the death knight and snag some benefits along the way.
But facing Empress Persephone, the one who established the entire death realm...
The master of the death realm.
Comparing willpower with her?
It was a gamble he wasn't willing to take.
If he failed, he would be completely reduced to a puppet of Empress Persephone!
That was unacceptable!
"Young man, what are you waiting for? You can come forward now," Cliff called out, unaware of Fang Heng's inner thoughts. He gestured for Fang Heng to approach and continued, "Stand by my side and touch the ice crystal pillar. The Empress's will will begin to inherit within you."
"You are about to take on the heavy responsibility of re-establishing the rules of the death realm. Our time is short, so let's start quickly."
Fang Heng remained silent.
If he chose to refuse, it was highly likely he would have to fight Cliff.
Cliff was once a priest of the realm of death.
His strength was roughly on the same tier as that of the death knight.
One leaned toward warrior abilities, while the other leaned toward mage skills.
Fang Heng even sensed that Cliff might be slightly stronger.
Right now, his three major abilities were on cooldown, and his combat effectiveness had decreased significantly, making it difficult for him to win.
Fang Heng glanced at the mission again, and suddenly a thought arose in his mind.
Perhaps...
There was another way!
Fang Heng slowly raised his head, focusing on Cliff.
Could he find a way to deceive this old man?
Outsmart him?
Seeing that Fang Heng was still unmoving, Cliff urged again, "Young man, what are you waiting for? Our time is running out."
"Sorry, High Priest," Fang Heng decided firmly, lifting his head to meet Cliff's gaze. "I'm afraid I cannot inherit the Empress's will at this moment."
Cliff's pupils suddenly constricted, fixating intently on Fang Heng.
"What did you say?"
Cliff's expression turned cold as he fixed his gaze on Fang Heng. "Why? As the Empress's servant and inheritor, isn't it your honor to dedicate yourself to her? I need a reason."
"High Priest, my body has significant flaws, and I fear I cannot fuse with the Empress's will," Fang Heng replied.
"Oh?" Cliff's brow furrowed slightly, suspicion creeping into his eyes. "What flaws could prevent even the Empress from healing you?"
"My sea of consciousness has been manipulated by a special power. If triggered, it could explode at any moment. I wouldn't mind dying, but if it affects the Empress..."
"Oh? What power could possibly have such an effect?"
Cliff's skepticism deepened as he shook his head and turned his gaze toward Tan Shuo and Li Shaoqiang. freёweɓnovel.com
The two men felt a chill run down their spines, as if they were being watched by something terrifying, and their hearts raced.
Cliff lingered on them for a moment before shaking his head and shifting his attention back to Fang Heng.
Li Shaoqiang initially breathed a sigh of relief but then felt a surge of irritation.
What did that look mean?
Did they not deserve to inherit the Empress's will?
Cliff once again looked at Fang Heng, "Since you lack the qualifications to inherit the Empress's soul, why disturb her peace by entering the mausoleum?"
"High Priest, we were unaware that the Empress's will had fallen into slumber. We came here only to seek clues about her disappearance."
