One month ago.
The Dark Soul Empire.
Eternal Night City.
The Palace.
Countless bone fragments floated in mid-air, each inscribed with dense undead script.
The Underworld Lord Miket Tikaxiwa sat high upon her throne, waving her hand casually to infuse her breath into the bone fragments.
Suddenly.
A door appeared on the side wall of the great hall.
The door's design was indistinguishable from the main entrance, looking like a duplicate of it.
The door "bang" opened.
Shen Ye walked out.
"Your Majesty, why did you entrust the Undead Empire to me?" he asked directly.
The great skeleton emerged from the void, striding forward, and knelt below the throne, saying in a trembling voice:
"Mother! It's been too long since I served by your side, and too long since I've heard your teachings!"
Even the Underworld Lord Miket Tikaxiwa, accustomed to countless tempests, was taken aback for a moment.
"How... did you get here?" she asked.
