21st Century Necromancer

The explosion of Enterprise undoubtedly added a strong support to the battlefield, at least serving as an effective deterrent against the continuously emerging Magatsukami.

However, Magatsukami wasn't just a target standing still to be hit. After Enterprise shot down two Magatsukami, the others became alert and prepared; although still contained by her, they were no longer shot down again.

The clash remained stalemated; if no new variables emerged, Warspite felt that all they could do was buy time until Chen Yu completed the ritual.

Although this was an acceptable outcome for the Undead Legion side, Warspite felt that the battle wouldn't proceed so smoothly, especially due to the shrill laughter occasionally emanating from the pit, making her aware that even more powerful entities had not appeared yet.

This led Warspite to turn her head, looking in the direction of the Ritual Altar.

There, a gigantic Network of Rules was being pulled out from the void by Chen Yu, much like what happened by the Sanzu River Bank last time.

At this moment, Chen Yu was searching and pulling from this entire Network of Rules to acquire the world rules he desired.

As Chen Yu tugged at the world rules, the entire world seemed to tremble; the space around the Ritual Altar even tore apart, with black fissures appearing, lightning and gales sweeping, looking incredibly terrifying.

As Warspite grew increasingly worried for Chen Yu, the Sea of Blood at her feet began to stir.

This startled Warspite, for this blood water was key to supporting the Ship-girls' equipment deployment and maximizing their strength; any disturbance could influence the entire battle.

"If you're worried about Mr. Chen Yu, then guard this place well and destroy the enemies before you!" Just as Warspite was concerned, Jounouchi Hiromi's voice sounded by her side.

Jounouchi Hiromi, now donning the Demigod Armor crafted by Chen Yu, had a bright moon hovering behind her, while two spectral wolves appeared at her feet, clearly indicating she had activated all the enchantments on the armor.

"Ma'am!" Warspite's expression grew animated upon seeing Jounouchi Hiromi arrive.

Even though Jounouchi Hiromi was merely at a Demigod Level, as Chen Yu's wife, she became the backbone for everyone when Chen Yu was focused on the ritual, unable to command.

Jounouchi Hiromi said little, merely nodding slightly to Warspite, then focused her attention on the battlefield.

Although the Yomotsu Oni Tribe were demons, they bled and left corpses when they died, and by this point, the battlefield was already a river of blood.

This, undoubtedly, was the perfect setting for Jounouchi Hiromi, the Crimson Empress, to unleash her abilities.

The bloodwater beneath the Undead Legion flowed, converging toward the frontline, and the blood on the battlefield seemed to be drawn, pooling together.

The converging bloodwaters at the front line, due to the depressed terrain of Yomotsu Hirasaka, quickly formed blood deep enough to submerge knees.

The blood controlled by Jounouchi Hiromi had no effect on the Undead Legion, instead granting them various benefits, restoring their Blood Qi Armor, and healing their injuries.

But for the Yomotsu Oni Tribe, this was a fatal threat.

The Demons from Yomi at the front line paid no mind to the blood water beneath them, for the Oni, used to living within the Yellow Springs, considered the blood water commonplace; apart from slightly impeding their movement, they couldn't perceive anything amiss.

However, when Jounouchi Hiromi saw the entire front line soaked in blood water, she gently raised her hand into a fist: "Crimson Spikes!"

Countless spikes rose from the Sea of Blood, instantly skewering all the Yomotsu Oni Tribe touching the bloodwater, resembling a forest of blood-red thorns.

Instantaneously clearing the frontline of enemies, Jounouchi Hiromi didn't halt, opening her clenched hand to push forward: "Blood Tide!"

The blood-red spikes collapsed, the carcasses impaled upon them fell and, with the surging bloodwater, transformed into crimson waves, surging forward and swallowing the following enemies in the blink of an eye.

After engulfing approximately one-third of the Yomotsu Oni Tribe's army before her, Jounouchi Hiromi felt a slight satisfaction, raising her hand, turning her palm upward to elevate the blood qi into a blood cloud, enveloping the whole of Yomotsu Hirasaka.

Seeing Jounouchi Hiromi unleashing such a display of power, the Magatsukami from Yomi naturally took notice of her presence.

Several self-proclaimed valiant Magatsukami directly ignored the soldiers of the Undead Legion, soaring from the air towards Jounouchi Hiromi to attack, clearly aiming to eliminate this major threat.

Nonetheless, Jounouchi Hiromi paid no heed to these Magatsukami, continuing to gather the ascending blood cloud, seemingly intending to construct a platform from the blood clouds.

The charging Magatsukami, seeing this, grew even more excited, accelerating further as if about to enter the shrouded range of the blood cloud.

Yet in just a blink, the blood qi around the approaching Magatsukami transformed into Undead Warriors, aggressively stabbing at the bodies of these Magatsukami with blood-colored weapons.

The assaulting Magatsukami showed some bravery, dodging as the blood qi-coagulated soldiers attacked, even finding the time to counterattack, slashing several blood qi soldiers in half.

But... this had no effect.

The soldiers, mere assemblages of blood qi, almost instantly re-cohered, showing no signs of injury.

Simultaneously, Xiao Lan, who had been hunting Magatsukami, finished its prey, turning its wings to fly towards its mistress, with these Magatsukami blocking its path.

A lightning Breath tore through space, and the Magatsukami, which had narrowly evaded the surprise attack of the blood qi soldiers, weren't so lucky this time; just a slight sidestep caused them to be devoured by lightning.

After obliterating these Magatsukami, Xiao Lan shrank in size, landing in front of Jounouchi Hiromi, lowering its head towards its mistress.

Xiao Lan knew that once Chen Yu's ritual succeeded, its mistress would ascend to become the highest deity, and even though it had merged with the Storm Divine Core, it would still be suppressed by its mistress.

Yet at this moment, it harbored no rebellious thoughts, willingly and sincerely serving as Jounouchi Hiromi's mount.

Jounouchi Hiromi mounted Xiao Lan's back, causing it to fly, while a lance appeared in her hand.

"Victory!" At this moment, Jounouchi Hiromi shouted like a Valkyrie, and with her shout, a blood-colored halo descended upon every soldier of the Undead Legion, providing enhancements and making all the undead soldiers even more frenzied.
