The Holy Light Empire.
Inside the Royal Mausoleum.
As the whispers in his mind became clearer, Eamon fell into a long silence.
After a while he asked in a hoarse voice, "What are you going to do?"
"Kill!"
"Kill him without leaving a piece of armour, kill him until the rivers run red with blood, kill him until everything is turned upside down!"
The murderous intent in the voice sent shivers down Eamon's spine!
"All creatures and things are the foundation of the will of the magical world, as well as the source of its power."
"As long as we kill all living things, the will of the magical world will become water without a source, unable to resist our power!"
"You are too extreme," Eamon frowned.
"Extreme?" the voice laughed heartily, as if it had heard the greatest joke.
"When it comes to extremes, can I compete with you?"
"Even tigers spare their cubs, but for the sake of immortality, you didn't hesitate to flay your own children and descendants, to extract their blood and souls to brew elixirs of longevity!"
"Shut your mouth! It's clearly your flawed secret technique."
"You, this devil, have been plotting against me from the beginning!"
Eamon's wound was exposed and he roared in anger, embarrassed and angry.
He was under the temptation of this devil.
That he would go deeper and deeper and not be able to turn back!
In the face of Eamon's roar, the voice just chuckled softly.
"Eamon, by undermining the will of the magical world and slaughtering the simulators on a massive scale, you have provoked the will of the heavens!"
"This time they have chosen a powerful agent, one you cannot handle!"
Eamon fell silent again.
As a former simulator, no one understood better than him how powerful the will of the heavens truly was.
If the Will of Heaven did not want to destroy this magical world, Eamon would have died long ago.
And he could kill ten, a hundred, a thousand simulators.
But sooner or later there would be a simulator who would find a way to kill him.
The most important point was.
The secret technique of longevity given to him by the Devil was not complete; living to two thousand years was already the limit.
Now that he was approaching his limit, he could not afford to go on like this!
Even if his body decayed, he could still exist in a spiritual form.
But he would be even more thoroughly fused with this devil, unable to escape his clutches!
"At this point, if you don't want to be dealt with, you can only listen to me!"
"And what's wrong with merging with me? You can still keep your independent consciousness!"
"Let go of your mind and merge with me!
"One day we will rule over all realms and beings, surpassing all others!"
The whispers in his mind became more and more real, and even Eamon himself couldn't tell if it was the devil's temptation or his true thoughts from deep within.
"You're right!" Eamon's lips curled into a cruel smile.
"All things in nature exist to nourish man, while man has nothing to offer nature!"
"Kill! Drown him in a sea of blood, kill him endlessly!"
The moment Eamon merged with the Devil.
In the original underground organisation.
The statue worshipped by the leaders of past generations also wore a cruel smile.
His features and body became lifelike, as if he had come to life!
...
Lein Kingdom border.
Windmill City.
Situated near the Kagar Mountains, the land was fertile and rich in pasture.
Tens of thousands of citizens lived contentedly, leading peaceful lives far from worldly strife.
But in a secret chamber in the city.
Several figures in black robes were holding a secret meeting.
If Norton and the others were here, they would surely recognise them.
These figures were none other than the original leaders of the underground organisation, Cecil and several key core members!
"Praise be to our God, all will return to the original darkness!"
"With the help of our God, the dark forbidden curse has already been successfully researched!"
"And the Lein Kingdom and the Kagar Mountains will become the stage for this curse!"
"By then, the Lein Kingdom will be consumed by darkness!"
"We will use the spatial rift in the Bone Plain to construct a new passage and welcome the arrival of Lord Fear Demon and the vanguard of the Abyss!"
Cecil spoke fervently.
Upon hearing this news, everyone present shuddered.
Even though they were a group of ruthless individuals with no morals or laws.
They still felt a shiver run down their spines.
Because as participants.
They knew only too well how terrifying this terrible curse truly was.
Once unleashed, the entire Lein Kingdom...
No, the entire magical world would become a hell on earth!
...
A few days later.
With the dedicated investment of the underground organisation and the covert cooperation of the Holy Light Empire.
All the materials for the construction of the Magic Array were ready.
Seven ninth-tier dark mages secretly arrived in Windmill City to oversee the casting ceremony.
The incantations were recited.
A massive hexagram magical field, hundreds of kilometres in diameter, engulfed all of Windmill City and part of the Kagar Mountains.
Famine!
Pestilence!
Slaughter!
Death!
The Divine Level Tenth Forbidden Curse: Quartet of Hell!
At that moment, the incantations were completed.
The sky and earth changed colour, and the emptiness shattered.
The fierce power of the Forbidden Curse pierced through the void, as if the gates of hell had been opened.
The aura of death rose rapidly.
Countless locusts and flies appeared in the magical world through the rifts in space, spreading in all directions.
Even Luyuan, hundreds of kilometres away, felt something.
At that moment.
All the Grand Archmages and Holy Archmages of the magic world turned their gaze in the direction of the Lein Kingdom.
They had a premonition.
Something catastrophic was happening in the Lein Kingdom!
...
Crimson Castle.
Luyuan was urgently refining the Philosopher's Stone.
But the next moment, as if sensing something, he suddenly opened his eyes and looked in the direction of Windmill City.
"Someone has cast an advanced dark forbidden curse, the aura of death is getting thicker!"
Luyuan felt somewhat uncomfortable.
In his perception.
In a certain direction of the Kagar Mountains, within a radius of one hundred miles, all sources of information had been cut off.
Without any warning or sign, as if they had been wiped out instantly!
Moreover, the aura of death in this part of the world was intensifying at an unimaginable rate!
The Bone Plain had always been shrouded in a deadly aura.
It was the reason for the abundance of undead and skeletons.
But now.
The density of the Death Aura had increased many times over in a short period of time!
Although this was a great blessing for Luyuan.
It could greatly increase the strength of the Legion of Doom.
But for the humans and other races living near the Bone Plain, it was an absolute disaster.
The dense aura of death spread throughout the borders of Lein Kingdom.
Under the erosion of the Deadly Aura.
Humans fell ill and grew weaker.
Many became aggressive and bloodthirsty.
And not long after.
Swarms of flies and locusts appeared in the human cities near the Lein Kingdom border.
The flies spread disease and pestilence, while the locusts devoured leaves and livestock.
All crops and food failed, even the leaves and bark were stripped bare by the locusts.
The plague and famine quickly spread through the Lein Kingdom and the Kagar Mountains, and soon reached other areas as well.
The death toll skyrocketed, and the land was littered with rotting corpses of livestock and magical creatures.
These corpses bred countless flies and diseases that increased the plague's destructive power, creating a vicious cycle!
