Omnipotent Overlord

Li Mo put away his weapon, turning to the ghosts and wraiths below.

“You still want to fight? Not even your master can handle me and you want to come here and die?”

The spirits saw Underworld Emperor defeated and Mito begging, then threw away their weapons.

“Mito, I see you wish to protect your master and didn’t do this with evil intent. I shall let both of you go and even help your master protect the Underworld.”

“Thank you sir, I thank you on behalf of master.”

Mito couldn’t help but shed tears of gratitude.

“Bro Mo, why didn’t we kill Underworld Emperor? Are we leaving? Oi, wait up!”

“Let’s got to Holy City. There’s something I must do.”

Li Mo rushed out, followed by Du Fei.

Li Mo didn’t kill Underworld Emperor since, just like Mito said, the Underworld would collapse. Without him the thousand of ghosts and spirits would have nowhere to go but the real world. 

Underworld Emperor’s methods may have been extreme, but he did it to create reincarnation. It was all that red shadow’s fault for killing Underworld Emperor and ruining everything.

‘Nevermind, I’ll just leave these two here to protect the Underworld.’

The Underworld was blowing out black smoke from many areas. The factions were still tearing each other apart for the gears. Blood ran like rivers and limbs were strewn about, a hellscape.

Li Mo returned to Holy City and secluded himself into his room before warning Du Fei not to go outside.

A month later, Li Mo sighed at the bluish God Prison, “I now have the chaos ore, natural fire crystal and eternal blue ore refined into the God Prison. But I still have a long way to go to make it into a weapon comparable to an imperial item.” 

Three of the best ingredients in the world were already hard to come by. No one could tell when he’d get the rest.

“Bro Mo, you there?” Du Fei knocked.

“Why are you so flustered?”

“Bernado is here.”

“Right on time.” Li Mo said cynically. He knew very well why Bernado was here. Since he couldn’t get what they wanted by force, he came to use them.

“Ha-ha, boss Li sorry to come uninvited!”

“It’s fine, please come in.” Li Mo invited him in. 

With both seated, Bernado’s eyes darted all over.

“Boss Li, there’s something I can’t understand. Why is it I don’t see anyone from the Milky Way Galaxy around?”

“I sent all of them hunting and mining. You can see how the Underworld has sunk into slaughter over the supreme gears. If they don’t get strong fast, they can’t defend themselves. “

“Boss Li is right. I came today on behalf of my lord to ask boss Li to cooperate with us in dealing with a strong enemy.”

“Oh? Which galaxy does your lord wish to attack now?”

“Boss Li, our lord’s target is Bestial Galaxy. As you know, Dorag 19 has recently gained another hero. They have three in total, while we have two. Lord plans for boss Li to come with not just your hero, but your entire galaxy and together, we will defeat our enemy!”

‘Alcado’s plan is sound. Bestial Galaxy is so strong not even two Heavenly King Galaxies are enough to match them. It seems he wants us to play the cannon fodder. Ha-ha, the eternal blue ore truly was valuable.’ Li Mo mused.

Bernado urged seeing him silent, “Of course, if we can destroy them, it will greatly beneficial to boss Li. I and Mara Galaxy will take half the spoils while you take the rest.”

“Ha-ha, since your lord is so frank, how can I not reply in kind?”

“Then that settles it, boss Li. I’ll go back and prepare. I shall notify you on the time of the attack.” Bernado left.

“Bro Mo, are we really going to help them attack Bestial Galaxy? There’s only us and Chang’e left.” 

“Of course we’re going. Before the aliens invade Earth, this is a good chance to whittle their forces.”

Three days later, “Ha-ha, boss Li sorry to disturb you.”

“Oh? Did you lord settled on the day of the attack?”

“That’s one aspect. The other is something that will please boss Li greatly.” Bernado showed a crafty smile.

“Tell me, what is it?”

“I’ll be frank. Last time, lord asked me to give you eternal blue ore as a gift and found you very much moved. With how the eternal blue ore is one of the best ingredients in the world, is boss Li perhaps using it to refine an item?”

Li Mo’s heart stirred. ‘Does this guy have other ingredients?’ They weren’t called the best in the world for nothing. They were too damn rare. Why would anyone call them that if they’d grew on trees? 

“Does your lord have other ingredients? I am willing to go for an exchange.” Li Mo had no illusion Alcado would just give him another.

“Boss Li must be kidding. If we had it, lord would’ve long since offered out of friendship. The ingredient isn’t with our lord.”

“Ha-ha.” Li Mo laughed coldly, “Are you making fun of me?”

Bernado saw Li Mo’s hard face and showed a tense smile, “Boss Li, that is not why I’m here. The item is with Dorag 19 and I even heard what it is.”

“Lithe silver essence.”

At those words, Li Mo’s face brightened. It was even rarer than the other three he got. The past Li Mo never even seen it, only hearing about it from others. ‘If it’s genuine, I have to get it somehow.’ 

“Of course, getting it will be up to boss Li. Dorag 19 is far stronger than my lord. My lord thus wishes for boss Li to hinder him until you’ll kill him together. Then the lithe silver essence will belong to you and still get half the spoils.” 

“Ha-ha, Alcado has a great plan! But it’s fine. As long as lithe silver essence is real, I will help him myself.”

“Believe me, boss Li, the information is genuine. I swear on my life. We will attack Bestial Galaxy a month later. We will be counting on you, boss Li.”

He bid him goodbye.

Li Mo smiled coldly watching Bernado leave, “You have another thing coming if you think you can just use me.”
