At this moment, the upgraded [Death Realm], now an S-rank skill, revealed its terror. With intelligence, the souls now had faith, and although the intelligence was equivalent to that of a five-year-old, their faith was incredibly pure.
Unlike Bast's power, which was a pale gold color, Zane's power of faith was pure gold.
Feeling this power of faith, a radiant smile appeared on Zane's face. He rubbed the little cat's head.
"Well done. Let's give you a name."
"Okay." The little cat looked at Zane expectantly.
"How about 'Snow'?"
The next moment, mist filled the little cat's azure eyes, and it looked at Zane sorrowfully, as if saying, "How dare you give me such a bland name. I'll cry to show you."
"Haha, then let's call you 'Bastis'. That settles it." Zane awkwardly laughed, then gave it a more mainstream name.
This time, the little cat didn't argue anymore. Instead, it reluctantly nodded, apparently not liking the name either, but afraid that Zane would give it another bizarre name, so it had to agree.
"Master, I want to ask you for one thing." Bast licked Zane's hand affectionately.
"Go ahead, what is it?"
At this moment, Zane had just obtained the ability to attack souls with the power of faith, so he was in a particularly good mood and readily agreed to Bastis's request.
"I also want the power of faith."
"Oh? Can you still grow?"
"I can. With the power of faith, I can reach the height of the original Bast in a very short time, or even become stronger."
"Great!"
Zane agreed readily and then added a statue identical to Bastis on his shoulder to his statue, letting Bastis return to the Soul World to attach a strand of its soul to the statue. Then, he commanded the souls to worship the statue of Bastis together. Although Bastis couldn't obtain as much power of faith as Zane, it was still impressive.
When Bastis returned to the real world, its small eyes were filled with uncontrollable excitement. It jumped directly onto Zane's shoulder and licked his face frantically.
"Thank you, master, thank you!"
Zane hurriedly stopped its actions, disgust evident on his face, as he took out a handkerchief from the King's Treasury to wipe away the saliva on his face.
"Behave yourself, or I'll remove the statue for you."
"Okay, okay, Bastis very obedient."
After being warned by Zane, Bastis obediently lay on Zane's shoulder, curling up into a ball. Zane touched it and found its fluffy fur quite pleasant.
It was quite something to have a divine spirit as a pet, even if it was the lowest-ranking existence. With the souls in the Soul World constantly supplying the power of faith, who knew if Bastis would ignite the divine fire and become a true god in the future?
Thinking about it, having Bastis as a future divine pet was quite impressive!
Now that the defense of Wakanda has been almost completely eliminated, it's time to wrap things up.
Thinking about this, a hint of heaviness flashed in Zane's eyes, but in an instant, it turned into determination. He decided to carry out a thorough cleansing of Wakanda, slaughtering all the millions of people who were still surviving inside the Wakanda shield.
This was a decision Zane had made long before attacking Wakanda. Now that he knew the undead in the [Death Realm] could provide him with the power of faith, this idea became even more firm.
However, unlike before, the lizard people were no longer considered human. Zane could kill them without any psychological barriers. While the bombing of Wakanda earlier may have inadvertently affected hundreds of thousands of people, it was still unintentional.
But now, Zane was determined to personally end the lives of millions of people in the city. Among them were the elderly, women, and children. This was no longer a question of morality.
However, if he left them alive, Zane would undoubtedly face countless troubles. Family feuds and national hatred would never disappear over time; they would only deepen. Therefore, from beginning to end, Zane's choice was actually only one—kill!
Bastis may have also sensed the heaviness in his master's mood. As an animal, she had intelligence comparable to humans, but she couldn't understand Zane's complex feelings at the moment.
Such matters could only be silently borne by Zane alone, and no one else could share the burden with him.
Zane walked slowly to the outside of the palace with a heavy heart, not minding the dust on the ground, and sat on the steps, crossing her hands under her chin, overlooking the entire Wakanda.
Behind him, countless spirits emerged, rushing to every corner of the city, searching for survivors. Despite having the intellect of a five-year-old, they could easily distinguish between the living and the dead.
Soon, the city echoed with the continuous screams as Zane stared wide-eyed at the human hell he had orchestrated, not blinking once.
In the city streets, spirits relentlessly hunted down the surviving humans, effortlessly killing them one by one. The dead then joined the ranks of the spirits, running from behind Zane towards the city below.
The number of spirits grew exponentially, like a snowball rolling downhill, increasing more and more...
Eventually, the entire city fell into a deathly silence, with millions of spirits standing in every corner of the city, their massive dark aura materialized into grey clouds, blocking out the sunlight. The city resembled a ghost town.
A chilling wind blew through the broken buildings, emitting a low moan, as if playing a sorrowful melody for the countless dead.
Zane watched this scene expressionlessly, his thoughts a mystery to everyone.
After a while, Zane stood up. Skynet was already standing by his side, and Zane patted his shoulder.
"The rest is up to you."
"Understood, boss."
Before coming, Zane had already formulated a comprehensive plan based on the original plot. After conquering Wakanda, Zane was responsible for clearing out the city, while Skynet would use the vibranium piled up in Wakanda's treasury to produce a large number of molecular magnetic energy robots, controlling the people outside and making the outside world believe that Wakanda was still the impoverished agrarian country it was known as.
The development of technology to control people was primarily for this purpose.
Meanwhile, through the information in Wakanda's independent network, spies lurking in various countries would be recalled, turning Wakanda into Zane's private secret base.
