Omnipotent Overlord

Li Mo and Du Fei made a beeline for the Dark Hall.

They came under of plenty of ambushes from crazed players obsessed with finding the ultimate gear. 

“Rotten Milky Way players, hand over your gear and we will give you a swift death. Don’t and we will show you the meaning of pain!” An ox-headed figure saw the ultimate gear on Du Fei and his eyes filled with greed.

“Hand them over, now!”

“Hurry up!”

The oddities of races behind the Tauren roared while waving their weapons. 

“Bro Mo, leave them to me.” Du Fei was excited. 

Him wearing ultimate gear was the ultimate boost in stats and confidence. He was itching to give them a try and Du Fei wasn’t about to pass this chance.

Sacred Light Physique was useless in the Underworld, but with this insane ultimate gear, killing by the dozens couldn’t be easier. An enemy’s attack would also be nullified, leaving Du Fei healthy as a horse.

“Retreat! Spare me!”

“Don’t kill me! Here’s all the gear and ore I have, just don’t kill me!”

Ah~! Thump! Thump!

The wails and shrieks went on for a good minute.

Du Fei went back to Li Mo in glee, “Ha-ha, the gear is awesome. If I can get the whole set, not even Dark Hall’s master can take me.”

“Don’t forget, the gear came from Dark Hall’s master himself. He surely has a way of dealing with them. Plus, these props are worthless outside this world. Don’t rest your hopes on gear. It is only there to help you, while your power is what truly matters.”

Li Mo broke Du Fei from his delusions of grandeur and back to earth.

To Du Fei, Li Mo’s words were gold. He trusted Li Mo never meant harm.

“I know, bro Mo. He-he, I got a bit excited is all.”

A black building rose from the fog up ahead, the Dark Hall. They had met with some other ultimate gear players enthusiasts on their way, which the two were happy to relieve them of.

Du Fei shined blue from top to bottom. His attack and defense got so high he could even defeat a hero.

Li Mo was also geared and adding his obscene stats as well, he was just as much of a freak as Du Fei.

“Have you come to challenge the Dark Hall?”

Five hundred meters from the black buildind, Mito’s voice came from the sky.

“I seek an audience with the Dark Hall’s master. Can I see him?”

Li Mo looked at the peak of the building. The voice came from all around, but Li Mo’s Eye of Truth showed Mito’s position.

In a black robe and with a large hat covering his face, Mito stood on top of the building, surrounded by thick black mist. 

“Milky Way Galaxy’s new boss isn’t a pushover to find my location. Is it a form of Spirit Eye?”

Li Mo only smiled.

Du Fei said, “Bro Mo, what is he? Why is it that all I see is a moving robe?”

“No matter what he is, we need to meet with the master. Any that stand in our way shall die!”

Li Mo was no saint, being kind only to his brothers and friends. While stone-cold towards his enemies.

“You can see my master, but you have to go through me first.” Mito waved his large sleeve and a creepy wind blew. Then many beings wearing the same thing he was, surrounded the two.

“Keep your eyes peeled.” Li Mo warned Du Fei as he punched the first robed man. 

The punch scattered the man’s head to black mist, only to reform anew. 

The same happened on Du Fei’s side. No matter what the two did, the robes would always reform.

“Ha-ha, don’t waste your energy. This is the Underworld and I am immortal here. How can you hope to kill me?”

“Du Fei, stop.”

“What is it?” Du Fei looked at Li Mo bewildered.

“He is right. We are only wasting our energy.”

“What now?”

“Run, no matter what they do we just run through.” Along with Du Fei, the two jumped over the encirclement and charged towards the Dark Hall’s gate.

“Now that’s just rude. Any intruders shall die!“

Mito saw Li Mo wanted to force his way in and was worried. He formed those robes, but was incapable to hurt the two with them. He himself was unable either, having only illusion to rely on and block the two.

He was even weaker than a first level, knowing illusion as his only means of defending. It was a skill his master forcefully pushed into him for many years. If the snow people could cultivate, they’d have done it ages ago. Stopping Li Mo was literally impossible for him. 

His master might also blame him, giving him a punishment he couldn’t take.

“Let them come.”

A deep voice echoed from the hall as the black gate opened.

Mito lowered his head and the two entered.

Inside the hall there was an elevated stage on which a huge person sat on a throne carved from True Dragon’s bones. Below the stage, countless wraiths and all sorts of malignant spirits towered on each side.

The figure on the throne rose, and one could see a faint diagram behind him. 

“Dark Hall’s master? Are you the Underworld Emperor?” Li Mo cried in shock. 

“Bro Mo, what are you saying? What Underworld Emperor?”

Underworld Emperor had a dull gaze, but Li Mo knew him to be one of the 36 Emperors.

Among the emperors, Underworld Emperor was the easiest to recognize. Behind his head floated the underworld map, his ability. It was also through this ability that he created the Underworld. This told Li Mo who he was.

“Bro Mo, what’s an Underworld Emperor?”

“One of the 36 emperors, in charge of the Underworld. They say he controls reincarnation, but there was no proof. Back then, he was unrivaled in the universe. But he should’ve died far earlier than the other emperors. Why then is he still alive?” Li Mo said.

Du Fei was even more puzzled. How could his tiny mind possibly comprehend what a God Emperor signified?
