One day later.
Western warlords palace.
The barrage of lightening outside the palace disappeared by now, making the people from within come out their hiding!
Still their expressions weren't going to be any better as the picture presenter to their eyes was such!
Fuck!
Did a cultivator broke through transcendent realm?
Still... A breakthrough must not have triggered... This destruction right?
They got tongue tied by examine the aftermath, which was devastating!
The palace looked extremely fine, not even a single brick was cracked, yet the scene outside their palace walls was terrifying.
Horrible to be in fact!
Utter destruction, unforeseen damage to the surroundings which they never dare expect to begin with!
Ash! Complete ash!
The whole of the forest outside their palace was turned to dust.
Tens of kilometers of land, almost reaching a hundred kilometer around the palace was devoid of life, Making the ones inside terrified with fear.
Good things that the western warlord palace was present quite a bit away from people's habitat, if not... Hundreds of thousands, close to a million populace could have been wiped out if Wendy conducted this ritual at those places with people to begin with!
Fuck!
What exactly happened yesterday?
Why's the forest around the palace was turned to ash, which seemed nostalgic with scent of death?
Why was their palace able to remain safe in this destructive?
Just what tribulations are they going to face later?
When these people were going through a series of questions, A beautiful figure few miles away from the palace was bathing in moon light naked, trying to savor this very moment where she was advanced.
All of a sudden she opened her eyes and an aura of suppression was casted around, which caused hundreds of meters of land to be sunken down by a foot.
Black robes interwoven with golden threads at the ending were condensed over her skin giving her a grandeur aura with an other worldly presence which seemed subduing all within her presence!
An air of aristocracy, which seemed looking down on all living could naturally be seen through her eyes as she felt omnipotent currently!
Whoosh!
She then scanned her surroundings gave a satisfied smile, which felt ambitious!
" Good! Good! It's in the acceptable limit! 824 knights this empress is impressed! "
Hearing her satisfactory words, several praises from undead could be heard around.
" Long live our maker! "
" We thank our mother for creating us! "
" We are blessed by your presence! "
" This humble one congratulates mother for making a progress! "
Several young adults, both men and women, appearing around early twenties were seen around her, kow towed humbly as if a peasant was before the presence of their beloved Empress, who appeared their everything!
After the ritual, a major change indeed took place!
Wendy was transformed and so were her undead which made the undead looking no different from humans.
They looked like a rejuvenated, extremely young with healthy bodies who seemed took birth just yesterday which felt startling.
If one were to compare them with ordinary, not one could be spotted an odd ball, detected for being undead unless he or she divulges it personally.
Men had a normal physic, slightly muscular and had characteristic blue eyes with a white coloured insignia on their back.
Women had a slightly voluptuous body with a well developed hips that seemed perfect to deliver a healthy child.
Unlike men, these women had a characteristics red eyes with a long flowing black hair which exceeded their height, covering the entirety of back while kowtowing.
Though the population of females were less, slightly around fifty, Wendy was elated as if she found treasures.
She knew that the females could be trained and once the trait of raising undead was spotted in them, they could be used to relieve her burden by sharing her work.
Raise!
Hearing Wendy's voice, they all lifted their heads up, slowly raising from the ground, looking happily while glazing at their creator who had words for them.
Materialize!
Shortly following her command, a plain tight black robes was condensed over men while women had a pure white clothing on them, still revealing their features which was attractive
Condense armour!
Following her command, a thin black armour was condensed over men with a amber colored cape, leaving behind women who seem to condense a beautiful long coat with a furry white collar, which made them look more refined and dignified than earlier.
" Who are you? "
" We are knights of white! "
" What is your duty? "
" We fight for almighty mother and almighty father! "
" What is your existence? "
" We are children of creators! "
" What were you created for? "
" To serve our makers! "
After a couple seconds of silence, Wendy gave a satisfactory smile as the hardship endured for an entire day in lightning and strom had paid off.
Her pains which she suffered during the tribulations were not any thing but easy, more like labour pains for this undead who seemed feeling a bit of different feeling from deep within which was hard to explain!
The ritual was a grand success and 824 undead knights of aura emperor cultivation were produced, with the rest that were swept in storms and lightning and got annihilated.
Though their cultivation was that of "initial order" quite ordinary in ranks of their cultivation realm, Wendy wasn't disappointed cause these knights still have the room to develop.
And if females were to evolve their undead raising trait, Wendy was sure that her worries for future would be reduced drastically!
After all they had the potential to become undead queens, more like daughter ants in ant habitat, who were present to increase the stretch by creating new colonies for their mother!
Just when she was about to recall them back to her inner space, a spatial crack appeared above in the sky from which a black haired youth descended down to ground, who seemed exhausted a bit!
" Boss!~~ "
Looking at their mother creator who made a delightful expression after looking at this youth, the undead knights were sure that he was their father creator who they need to serve to begin with.
" We thank father creator for making our humble selves! "
They kneeled on one legs before Mark and merely thanked him, unlike the time where they appeared completely submissive before Wendy.
Though they didn't necessarily shown disrespect towards Mark, their respect towards Wendy had far outweighed Mark which could be seen clearly by their current actions.
Mark was startled by this group who were kow towing them, he felt a bit embarrassed by looking at this bunch who were treating him respectfully.
He quickly made a chuckle and exclaimed out to let them rise, but unexpected to him, Wendy eyes fumed with rage and suppressed her surrounding unintentionally with a heavy pressure.
" How dare you disrespect your almighty father? kowtow hundred times as repentance, or else get the hell out this place from becoming a sore sight to my eyes! "
The undead knights who were kneeling down had sunked down by couple feet, extremely terrified by the mere thought that their mother would hate them!
Smack!
" Ah!~~ Father creator this humble one asks for repentance! "
This... what the hell is going on? is this even necessary right now...?
A female undead knight in white clothes had kow towed in haste, smacked her head against the ground, hard enough for her for skin to bleed red.
Shortly following her, the others too mimicked her, started banging their heads against the ground asking Mark for a chance to repent their sins.
The process continued for a couple minutes until all their armour or clothing were dyed red, making the scene look extremely dramatic where a child was pleading hard from their parents to repent for commencing an unforgivable crime!
A simple salute from a knight would suffice, more than enough to be infact! This wendy... Is there a need to force them to be extremely submissive, by making them kow tow to me?
Mark was about to raise a question but the sight before him had made him forget what he wanted to raise his questions for?
An extremely beautiful maiden in black and golden clothings, a lovely smile accompanied by a unblinkable features, with a face which felt like he could gaze forever and not get enough of this!
She appeared emitting an attractive presence which was quite bewitching to his controlled self.
Though Mark some what used to her beauty, her sudden change had caused yet an another ripple in heart, making him want to pamper and care know more about her to get closer.
All of a sudden a thought popped in his head which made him wake from from his current bewilderment.
" Ah! Wendy I forgot about the reason for comming back soon! Five orange rank bases are making their move, we should hurry the dealing with the old two which we are yet to eliminate! "
Mark suddenly remembered that the old leaders of two orange rank base which they have destroyed were yet to be killed.
Since dealing with the half mutant was troublesome before, he choose to refrain from killing them by breaking their vocals and imprisoning them after destroying their cultivation.
Though he had knocked them unconscious before, he didn't want to give them a chance to retaliate nor give them the opportunity to unlock project black after getting consciousness.
So he was opted to this method to find suitable time before killing them both to release half mutants and anhilate those bunch shortly after it.
Now that his force was increased by the addition of 800+ aura emperors, Mark wasn't worried much about those half mutants to kill, yet he couldn't underestimate those bunch as they were dangerous!
" Hmm... "
Giving a nod to Mark, Wendy got up from her place recalled Her knights back to her inner realm, before shortly gabbing his hands with a smile which almost smittened him on spot!
" Boss!~~ Let's traverse to that place! "
Feeling the soft touch of her palm Mark involuntary grabbed it tight, before shortly appearing within the the western warlords palace to execute their plan.
The western warlords palace was able to survive from the last days predicament from getting protection by defensive formations.
Mark had not formed this array, just so that he could protect the people within, but he had also decided to use it as a restrictive battle field to fight and suppress his enemies within his domain.
" Boss! This array? "
Since it was the first time for Wendy to enter his array, she was startled, surprised at the fact that this defensive barrier formation array had suppressive features.
Though it did not create much of an influence over her, as Wendy's cultivation of half step transcendent provided much of an immunity from this.
The same could not be said for aura emperors who's strength would be suppressed to a tenth, and aura kings who could only dream of using their mana within this formation array.
" Haha! Interesting right? A grade six array, this damn thing had almost made me cough blood by spending all my resources! "
Naturally Mark couldn't say that he obtained it from system and using the term "resources" he entirely was not wrong to begin with, as all his slayer points were spend in buying the array pieces of it.
Wendy smiled a bit, looking at his bitter expressions that almost revealed the great cost Mark had to pay to obtain the array formation.
She then summoned back her knights, made them ready to enter the battle where they would be facing the terrifying creatures of half mutant which were tough to kill.
" Boss! Can you remove the suppression on our knights, we need them to fight our enemies at full potential! "
Looking at the smile on Wendy, mark gave a casual nod and removed the suppression.
" Ah! My bad, I forgot it! "
Wendy could clearly see the traces of anxiety in Mark. Though they had fought the half mutants before, she had yet to encounter the variant of silver skinned which she was curious about.
She wiped his sweat with her sleeves, and said in a concerning tone stating.
" Don't worry boss! I'll make sure to kill those silver skinned by myself... "
Looking at her innocent smile, Mark couldn't help but take a step back in embarrassment and blush a little which made her giggle involuntarily.
The undead knights back before them couldn't help but chuckle internally, when their Creator mother was openly flirting with their almighty father.
Wendy turned her gaze towards these bunch which made their spine shudder violently, violent enough for their body to kow-tow in fright.
Just when Mark had discussed all possible battle formation with Wendy to deploy their knights, to fight half mutants, the night was overed and their surroundings started to brighten up indicating the arrival of dawn.
" It's dawn already? "
Mark exchanged glances from her and smiled awkwardly finding that dawn has arrived by now while they were discussing the battle plan.
Wendy made a small giggle and exclaimed
" Dawn! It's like the dawn of our undead knights! Their dawn to prove their worth against half mutants! "
Wendy looked at her two prisoners, who originally were stored in her inner realm as captives.
" Assemble! "
Wendy roared loud, shortly following which her undead knights stood in rows of hundreds standing before her as a well trained army.
" Today's your first battle as my knights, I know you little piece of **** are useless, but still i hope you useless pieces to create miracles... Don't fail my explanations! "
" Exceptional knights will be rewarded and would be specially named by your creators! Did I make my words clear? Don't fail my. expectations! "
Hearing her harsh remarks the knights didn't get dejected but were over joyed when Wendy decided to name the exceptional ones!
For these new knights what's more important to them were to be acknowledged I.e, to be recognized by their creators!
What Wendy said were the things which they were very much eager to hear about.
When Wendy said that she was willing to give names as a reward, her undead knights were very much excited, excited enough to be burning with battle fury just so that they could kill the half mutants to be recognised.
Looking at the effect Wendy brought upon her knights, Mark was much startled as Wendy appears to show potential, a potential to become a remarkable figure.

Author's notes:
Undead knights :
Evolved forms or nobility amongst undead, extremely loyal and has potential to cultivate!
Female knight has the potential to become a undead queen, and branch off a new lineage for her creator!
Hard to kill with resilience just a tad bit lower than half mutants to begin with!
