Omnipotent Overlord

“Alright.” Li Mo was frank.

Li Mo had no time to think about this world’s domination, but to leave as soon as he could.

And since someone wished for an alliance, he couldn’t be happier.

“Great. We are also allied with Mara Galaxy. With the three of us, Heavenly King and Barren are nothing we can’t handle.

“This is my lord, Alcado’s welcoming gift. On the condition you let him use your hero once.”

Bernado offered a blue rock. 

The blue rock was shiny and one could even see faint dragon power roaming over its surface.

“Eternal blue ore!”

Bernado praised, “Boss Li is truly amazing to know what it is.”

The eternal blue ore with the chaos ore and natural fire crystal had the same rarity, among the ten best ingredients in the world.

The past Li Mo had scoured the universe for four hundred years, yet couldn’t even find traces of eternal blue ore.

Li Mo thought the eternal blue ore had gone extinct, but here it was, in ‘Underworld’ of all places.

“Boss Li must know then its value.”

“I agree.”

Li Mo didn’t let Bernado finish.

Eternal blue ore was far too important to Li Mo. It was a must needed item to finish God Prison.

All the ten best ingredients were needed to complete God Prison and enable it to hold God Emperors as well.

To Li Mo, the eternal blue ore held far more value than a hero.

Big Dipper took Chang’e away. Five days later, news came that Dipper Galaxy attacked Heavenly King Galaxy’s domain and forced them to retreat. 

A month later, Bestial Galaxy’s boss, Dorag 19, came from Dark Hall with a new hero. At the same time, Dark Hall’s master declared the Dark Hall closed for the next five hundred years.

Dorag 19’s first order upon return was to occupy Barren Galaxy’s entire domain.

Barren Galaxy had two heroes, but Bestial Galaxy had three. In the case of 36 emperors, with their power a clear discrepancy from the rest, it was obvious how a three versus two battle would be.

Barren Galaxy’s was destroyed. It marked the beginning of a slaughter, with each galaxy hanging on strong. 

Every side wanted heroes and to do that they needed soul power gathered by killing and entering the Dark Hall.

A large scale slaughter was unfolding.

While the galaxies were genocidal, Li Mo took his party and quietly left the Underworld. 

He couldn’t open a Gate from the inside, but that didn’t go the same for the outside. Li Mo had Yang Chan use the Staff of Origin to finally open a Gate after many days.

A full retreat!

Experts Alliance and Thunderstruck Enterprise’s men all left. When Li Mo brought Chang’e to the Gate, he found with great shock that she turned into black smoke as she passed through.

She couldn’t go out.

Du Fei shouted at the dazed Li Mo, “Bro Mo, what are you standing around for?”

“You go ahead. I have something to do first.”

“Eh? Come on, the entire world is at war!” Du Fei was anxious.

“No, this is too important. It impacts the future. Tell Yang Chan to open a Gate half a year later.”

Li Mo went back inside.

“I’m coming with you!”

Du Fei followed him.

Bang!

The Gate vanished.

The Underworld was a strange place. A Gate couldn’t last very long here.

Li Mo said, “Why did you follow me?”

“I-I’m worried about you.”

“You can’t use Sacred Light Physique here and even have a lame gift…

“Nevermind. You’re here now and that won’t change.”

Whoosh~

It was then that black smoke gathered and took Chang’e’s shape. 

“For her to exist in this world only, that only proves this is the Underworld.”

“Bro Mo, you’re saying she’s dead?”

“You can say that.” Li Mo nodded.

“We used to ponder if reincarnation exists. Now we see that even if there is no reincarnation, this is the next best thing.

“Chang’e, you are to protect Du Fei always. Don’t let any harm come to him.”

Chang’e nodded.

“Bro Mo, what about you?”

“My stats aren’t far from hers. I don’t need protection.”

Over the months, Li Mo didn’t just sit still. Whenever he had a window, he’d be out raising his level. His stats had reached a horrifying level. Not even Chang’e could hurt him now.

Then a voice came from the sky, Mito’s, “Dark Hall’s master had provided with a hundred supreme gears. Any who wears them will have the same stats as a hero!”

In that moment, a hundred gears were scattered throughout the world.

The news drove the people crazy.

The slaughter only increased. Any who found an supreme gear would wear it on the spot, but finding them all was harder than it looked.

“Each faction is engaged in mutual annihilation and since there are no more Gates, this world will soon find itself empty.”

Li Mo muttered, “Let’s go, to Dark Hall.”

Why was the Dark Hall’s lord inciting slaughter? The answer to this riddle would reveal everything.

The Underworld was bathed in the blood of its victims.

To guarantee Du Fei’s safety, Li Mo fought for ten days to gather a supreme gear.

The Dark Hall’s master had a plan in mind for taking them out, but they truly were supreme in every sense of the word.

Geared up, Du Fei could even take Chang’e’s attacks.

As Du Fei and Li Mo advanced towards Dark Hall, Mito sounded again, “Among the hundred supreme gears my master provided, ten are ultimate. Wearing one will give one stats surpassing that of a hero!

“What differentiates them from the rest is the blue glow. But remember, only by wearing the entire set will you have that power!”

Wa~

The world simply lost it.

“Bro Mo, half my hear flashes blue!” Du Fei cried in joy.
