Armipotent

Yu Shun froze after hearing Wei Xi's words. Those words made sense; God was just a rank, a rank that he would eventually achieve in the future. Did God show him the future? Did The God of Undead Antorias tell him about the affair between Ava and Tang Shaoyang? No and No. He found out about the affair accidentally. Then he realized The God of Undead Antorias used that information to invoke his fear, making him believe that Tang Shaoyang would take his girlfriend.

[Don't listen to them, My Apostle! If you trust them and give up on our plan, they will use this chance to get rid of you! He could say that because they are best friends. They have known each other for a long time, and it will be different for you. Don't fall for his words! Or maybe Cao Jingyi is already his, and that stupid man does not know that!]

[Don't Listen to them! We execute our plan, and we can rule the world! If you become this world's ruler, you don't need to worry that someone will take your girlfriend!]

Words kept ringing in Yu Shun's head. He frowned, then started to shake his head, "Please stop!" The Ache started to spread in his head, "STOP!" Yu Shun screamed, but the voice in his head became even more intense.

"What happens? Are you okay, Shun?" Luo Lan was about to rush toward Yu Shun, but Zhang Mengyao was faster. She held Luo Lan's hand and pulled her back, "Don't come closer, Luo Lan. It must be the God of the Undead's influence. Don't get closer; you might get hurt."

"He's in pain. I must help him. We can't leave him alone!" Luo Lan was struggling, but she was merely level 45. She could not do anything against Zhang Mengyao's grip, who was far above her.

"I know! I know! We will help him. We will capture him without hurting him and find a way to erase the negative influence. You can't be here, or else you will be hurt," Kang Xue stood in front of the two women and formed a light barrier. The light barrier surrounded the throne hall.

Yu Shun released the dark energy from his body. The dark energy gushed out from his feet, body, and head, spreading out inside the throne hall. The light barrier prevented the dark energy from coming out of the hall.

"Arghhhhhhh!" Yu Shun screamed before his body fell onto the ground. The dark energy kept coming out from the body, and the dark energy got denser and denser.

Tang Shaoyang stood up from the throne, walking past the light barrier. The moment he passed the barrier, Origin alerted him.

[It's an emergency, Your Majesty! TEIS received reports that zombies appeared inside the Capital! They are currently evacuating the civilians to the main base!]

Tang Shaoyang stopped his track as he proceeded with the new information. He was about to give an order to Origin, but the smart Ai alerted him first.

[TEIS reported the zombies are strong, Your Majesty! They spotted several Zombie Lords and Zombie Generals!]

[TEIS spotted the Zombie Emperor and asked for reinforcement, Your Majesty!]

Origin's voice was heard by the others too. It shocked everyone that zombies would appear inside the city. But then, everyone realized who was behind the zombie attack. The only person who could control the zombie Yu Shun. Everyone's gaze fell on the young man, who slowly stood up from the floor.

Yu Shun grinned ear to ear as he also heard Origin's voice. However, this was not the same Yu Shun anymore. His eyes turned black entirely with red slit pupils, "Kukukuku… How is it? Do you like the surprise from your younger brother, Brother Shaoyang?"

It was meant to provoke Tang Shaoyang, but Lu An was the one who got angry. Lu An said nothing as he tried to rush toward Yu Shun, intending to beat Yu Shun. However, Zhang Mengyao saw Lu An's movement through [Envisage]. She held him back, "Leave Yu Shun to your Brother Shaoyang. We have an emergency, and people outside need our help more than anyone!"

"We will leave Yu Shun in your care, Your Majesty!" After saying that, Wei Xi left the throne hall along with the others. Cao Jingyi dragged the shocked Luo Lan. She did not expect that Yu Shun would change this much. No, in fact, she no longer recognized Yu Shun. She felt like the man was not the same Yu Shun anymore, just the same body.

"Do you need me to neutralize the dark energy?" Kang Xue offered help. She was afraid that the dark energy would put Tang Shaoyang at a disadvantage.

Tang Shaoyang turned around and smiled at her, "It's fine. Dark energy can't harm me in any way. Please evacuate everyone from the main base. I don't think this is a safe place for refuge."

Kang Xue nodded and rushed out of the hall, leaving Tang Shaoyang and Yu Shun alone.

"You are not Yu Shun, are you?" Tang Shaoyang turned back to the young man. He could tell that the person in front of him was not Yu Shun anymore. It was someone else controlling Yu Shun's body.

"You can tell? Fuhuhu…" Yu Shun let out a small laugh, "You are quite sharp, huh? As Yu Shun said, you are quite stronger than anyone in the city, but that's the best part. Imagine what I can create with your body. This will be much easier than I thought to take over this world as long as I get your body."

"You are The God of Undead Antorias?"

"Bingo! You guess it right, but there's no reward for you," Antorias grinned, "You are quite strong, but you are quite foolish at the same time. If you work together with your subordinates, then I might have a hard time, but this will be much easier with you alone."

"I see…. The black core in Yu Shun's heart is the tool for Antorias to take over Yu Shun's body," Tang Shaoyang found the key to dispel Antorias' influence on Yu Shun through the [Spirit Eyes]. Of course, finding it out and dispelling the core was totally different. He could not open Yu Shun's heart and take out the core. It would kill the young man.

Tang Shaoyang no longer spoke to Antorias. He chatted with Antorias to buy sometimes to identify what Antorias did to take over the body. He found the cause, so he ceased to speak and activated his [Dragon Transformation]. Black scales crept out, covering his body as two horns protruding out of his head. It took less than ten seconds for the transformation to finish.

"Perfect! A dragon bloodline! There's nothing more perfect than this. My apostle this time truly does not disappoint me to be close to someone with a dragon bloodline!" Antorias already knew Tang Shaoyang had a dragon bloodline, but seeing the transformation with his eyes made him more excited.

At the same time, black energy swirled behind Antorias, creating a black portal. From the black portal, zombies came out. Of course, it was not just a normal zombie but the zombies he had nurtured for this moment. Two giant zombies with spiky shields on both hands, two hooded zombies with a staff in their hands, two armored zombies with armor, shield, and sword, and lastly, Yu Shun's exclusive zombie, a zombie with sword-hands.

"This should be enough to take care of you!" An exhilarating smile formed on his lips. He was excited to create something out of Tang Shaoyang's body, "You are wrong if you think I come alone! Oh, foolish emperor. I have been nurturing my children with Undead Heart, and they are on the same level as the Ancient Rank like you. You might be stronger than Ancient Rank normally, but I have prepared seven of them to kill you. Guhahahaha…."

Tang Shaoyang let out a short chuckle, "It seems Yu Shun does not tell you much about my power, huh? That's relieving." That was a relief, meaning Yu Shun did not completely fall to Antorias' side by not telling his spirits about Antorias.

"Do you want to move your body a little bit, Zara? Avyn?" The God Rank Spirit and the Grade SSS Spirit were the strongest spirits in his possession. He did not want to play around with Antorias but wanted to finish this as soon as possible. He soon received confirmation from the two spirits, and he instantly summoned two spirits.

The Ancient Dragon-The Last Kankara'Xeo and the Angel of Death emerged on his back, floating above the floor. The temperature inside the hall dropped immediately because of Avyn's elemental power. The floor started to freeze as Tang Shaoyang, and Zara started to breathe out cold air. Avyn did not hold back her aura.

This time, it was Antorias who was stunned. His black eyes stared at Avyn, not blinking a single time. Within just a glance, he could tell that Avyn was much stronger than Tang Shaoyang himself. He sensed her power, the power at the same level as his, his original body.

"Do you want to freeze that Antorias?" Avyn spoke casually as if Antorias was nothing in her eyes.

"That's a good idea, but it will not kill Yu Shun, right? I don't want to kill Yu Shun," Tang Shaoyang's eyes brightened. If Avyn could freeze Antorias without killing the body, then that was the best. He could avoid the fight.

"It will not kill Antorias, but it will probably kill the boy. The boy's body is too weak, so my frost may kill him once Antorias leave the body. But does it really matter if the boy dies? He has the intention of killing you. That's why he fell for Antorias' persuasion. You can't be weak and let this type of ally on your side," Avyn heartlessly recommended to Tang Shaoyang to get rid of Yu Shun. She meant good for Tang Shaoyang, but she did not take into consideration of Tang Shaoyang's feelings.

"That's not for you to decide. I will save him. You and Zara take care of these seven zombies. I will take care of Antorias by myself," After he gave his command to the two spirits, Tang Shaoyang used [Blink] and appeared in front of Antorias. He did not want to hurt Yu Shun that badly, so he did not use his weapon but a bare fist. He punched Antorias in the belly, but then the dark energy moved, swirling around his punch.

The dark energy negated the force behind his punch, stopping his surprise attack. The dark energy kept swirling around his hand, swirling up to his shoulder.

"Kuhahahaha…." Antorias laughed, "Foolish human, oh foolish human! You should listen to your summon. Now you will die in my hand. My dark energy will corrupt you, taking over your body, rotting your body from the inside slowly! You choose the most painful way to die!"
