This Necromancer Just Wants to Plant Trees-Chapter 1991 - 574 Death Gods and Fly Catcher

...

Matthew was initially stunned upon hearing this, but quickly realized:

"Are you from the Death God clan?"

Pierre nodded, his face full of deep helplessness.

Matthew understood in his heart.

The Death God clan is an extremely special group in the Underworld.

They have bodies similar to living people, and though filled with a lot of negative energy inside, their physique is not clumsy or bloated like zombies or abominations; this is because of their direct bloodline from Death God Yeager.

That’s right.

The original Death God clan was a special Underworld clan created by Yeager.

Members of the Death God clan must devoutly worship Yeager and call him Father; only by doing so can they continuously obtain the strength to maintain their existence in the Underworld from him.

Otherwise, with the Death God clan’s characteristics closer to material world bodies, they would easily be converted into low-tier undead like zombies by the Underworld’s negative energy and Eroding Energy.

"I’ve heard that after Death God Yeager fell, most of the Death God clan migrated out of the Underworld."

"A very few of them went to the Barbarian Tooth Peninsula in the material world, while most went to the astral world."

Matthew asked thoughtfully:

"Was your branch of the Death God clan taken over by the ’Clock Snake’?"

Pierre said respectfully:

"You’re right."

"My Death God clan tribe originally also planned to leave the Underworld, but before we could, we were forcibly taken back to her territory—Snake Mountain Demon Domain by the Clock Snake."

"In order to survive, we had no choice but to convert part of our faith from the Death God to Felicity."

"She has us call her Mother and serve her like we served the Death God."

"In return, she can also give us a blessing similar to that of the original Death God. This blessing not only gives us a much longer lifespan than beings in the material world, but also allows us to freely traverse the Underworld in both physical and soul forms."

"However, Felicity’s blessing is much weaker than the true Death God’s."

"Most of the time, it only takes effect within the Snake Mountain Demon Domain and becomes intermittent when we leave the domain, so when leaving the domain, we all have to travel lightly in soul form."

"So, not only is my branding in the hands of the Clock Snake, but my physical body also still remains in the Snake Mountain Demon Domain..."

Upon saying this,

Pierre’s expression of helplessness deepened.

He told Matthew,

most of the people in his tribe do not sincerely serve the Clock Snake.

They are only doing so out of necessity.

The Clock Snake is, of course, aware of this.

But she seems to have an unusual obsession with the relics and former members left by Death God Yeager.

It’s probably a mindset of "Whatever the Death God once had, I must have too."

Even if the Death God clan is paying lip service while opposing in their hearts.

She merely tortures and punishes them when angry, but hasn’t killed any member of the Death God clan.

Pierre believes,

rather than killing them,

Felicity perhaps truly wants to conquer them from the soul level.

"She knows we don’t like her."

"She even knows we secretly hate her."

"But she doesn’t care."

"She treats us as tools to simulate the Death God; she oppresses us, enslaves us, just like the old Death God did."

"We don’t have the ability to resist."

"She has stolen the Death God’s Ashes, and facing such material, we can only bow our heads in submission."

"If it’s possible, I really wish someone could kill the Clock Snake."

"Really..."

"Only then will my tribe and I have a day to regain our freedom..."

Pierre said a lot all at once.

It was clear.

These emotions had been repressed for a long time.

He probably didn’t dare to express them usually.

"Is this the root cause of those Ghost Riders targeting you?"

"In their eyes, you are ostensibly a higher status member of the Death God clan. You possess a body that the undead in Snake Mountain Demon Domain envy, and you are Felicity’s clan, theoretically closer to her..."

Matthew said in contemplation.

Pierre replied with a bitter smile:

"Probably for that reason, he’s been looking for a chance to get at me. He knows my hatred for Felicity, and he knows her special protection over us."

"To ordinary Snake Mountain undead, we are indeed what they dream of becoming, but..."

"Everyone thinks differently."

Matthew nodded.

In the corner of his eye,

a bright white light shone on the left.

Lulu jumped and danced in the white light:

"Matthew, Matthew!"

"He’s telling the truth!"

Matthew found it amusing in his heart.

He didn’t need a "lie detector;" just by his strong mental power, he could tell that Pierre wasn’t lying.

However, it’s sure there are things he held back.

Matthew thought for a few seconds and suddenly asked:

"So what tool was that ghost leader asking you to produce?"

Pierre’s face tightened.

After a while,

he sighed and said:

"It’s the ’Flycatcher’..."

Before Pierre finished speaking,

Lulu screamed in surprise:

"Wow!"

"This guy actually has the notorious Fly Catcher! He’s a big villain!"

Pierre hurriedly raised his hands:

"I don’t have it!"

"I’m not!"

"In fact, I’ve already secretly destroyed the Fly Catcher; otherwise, when he was forcing me, I wouldn’t have chosen to take a desperate gamble and leave you all behind..."

Lulu puffed her cheeks angrily.

She still seemed very unsatisfied with Pierre.

Matthew looked down to understand and finally knew that this so-called "Fly Catcher" was a capture tool specifically made for tiny creatures.
