Swear Fealty To Me, My Subjects!

Chapter 88.1: Is Rayne... Finally Going to Attack Me? (1)

In the Deep Tundra that was dead silent, a cold storm filled the entire world.

This was a cruel and desolate place where no living beings could live or reproduce...

Apart from a group of ancient black objects.

At that moment, in a corner of the tundra, a group of Black Catastrophes were eating.

They crawled on the tundra and spread the armor that covered their bodies to receive the sunlight.

At the same time, they used their sharp teeth and lasers to carve the tundra, absorbing minerals to maintain their bodies.

However, at that moment…

Two dimensional rifts suddenly opened up in front of the Black Catastrophes.

Immediately, the Black Catastrophes became alert and released their eating postures one after another.

They retracted their armor plates and looked at the dimensional rifts warily.

Vaguely, they seemed to have heard sounds coming from the dark dimensional rifts.

It was the incantation of spells.

At that moment, a torrent of flames surged out of the dimensional rifts like a roaring fire dragon and swept through the entire place!

The massacre began and ended instantly.

When the spewing flames were extinguished…

The group of Black Catastrophes had already evaporated, leaving only countless charred metal pulp that emitted wisps of steam…

Thereafter…

From one dimensional rift, Edaline appeared leisurely.

.

Immediately after, the Great Teacher arrived as well.

The two demigods surveyed their surroundings.

The scenery was vast and the terrain was flat.

It was no different from anywhere else in the tundra.

The Great Teacher asked, "Right here?"

Edaline said, "Let's get to work!"

Thereafter, the two demigods released the divinity in their bodies and spread it into a domain. Thereafter, a large number of divinity derivatives were extracted from the high purity divinity authority.

The flowing mithril and silver-white crystals appeared out of thin air from the ground. Crystallized outside with mithril flowing internally, the two materials that contained supreme divinity were combined.

Eventually, a semicircular sealed structure was formed.

The storm in the structure stopped, the temperature rose and a light source was now guaranteed as well—this was a greenhouse that was painstakingly built by the demigods.

Sensing the temperature in the room, Edaline nodded.

"Yes, it's about done… Hey, come over."

Space was violently shattered. After Elebella bid a reluctant farewell to Rayne, she brought him over from the Blazing Sun Wall.

Edaline asked, "How do you feel?"

Rayne patted Edaline on the head and praised, "Perfect!"

Edaline blushed and muttered, "Don't touch me for no reason…"

She continued, "Oh… right, that's what you wanted. I encountered a group of them the moment I landed, so I caught one for you."

With that said, she glanced at a black beast that was sealed by crystal in the corner of the greenhouse.

It was a living Black Catastrophe.

Right now, it was enveloped by a large silver-white crystal like a bug in amber.

Only the red compound eyes on its head were swiveling frantically.

If the appearance of this thing truly had to be described, it would most likely be like a skinny black wolf clad in armor.

As a living being, it was truly way too skinny.

Be it in terms or muscles or organs, there were pitifully few.

However, that was also a manifestation of the minimalist doctrine of the architect—using the least materials to achieve the most ideal outcome.

Using the black wolf as foundation for the most basic and commonly used Black Catastrophe was proof of the architect of this living being.

It was perfect.

Rayne told Edaline and the Great Teacher that he would bring them to the lairs of the Black Catastrophes and find a way to weaken the threat of the Black Catastrophes.

However, in reality…

The final goal of Rayne in conquering the Deep Tundra was not for the Black Catastrophes.

The lairs of the Black Catastrophes beneath the Deep Tundra was the homeland of Order.

In the homeland of Order, there was a way to split the soul of Order and free Edaline from her control.

That was Rayne's true goal.

In order to enter the homeland of Order, Rayne had to first conquer the Deep Tundra at the outer perimeter.

In reality, there were many ways to conquer the Deep Tundra.

For example, he could make use of the strength advantage of the two demigods to kill wildly in the Desolate Tundra before destroying the barrier of the lairs and force his way into the next dungeon.

In theory, that was feasible.

However, that was undoubtedly the most reckless and dangerous method.

If this was Rayne in his first hundred reincarnations, he might have chosen to charge forward in that grand manner.

But now, he possessed strategies that were more elegant.

He was going to nurture a group of monsters that could match the Black Catastrophes and have them fight against the latter in the tundra, forcing the Black Catastrophes to open up the walls of the lairs.

This method could not only perfectly avoid the exhaustion of one's combat strength, but also augment the aggression of the Black Catastrophes onto another group of enemies.

Therefore, even before they were completely wiped, Rayne's group would be completely safe when infiltrating the lairs of the Black Catastrophes.

Now, with the help of two demigods, Rayne obtained a greenhouse made from mithril and crystals.

In fact, it was sufficient for a mortal like him to lead a comfortable life in the Deep Tundra.

What he had to do next was to nurture the monsters that could rival the Black Catastrophes.

Rayne took out the Destiny Jade.

The pitch-black ancient jade emitted an ominous aura. Vaguely, one could feel a heartbeat beneath the jade.

In reality, there were two types of Destiny Jade in the world.

A white Destiny Jade was a true Destiny Jade. It was a print package of living beings left behind by Original Sequence.

Theoretically, it could create any living being in the mortal world, including divine beings and even the embryonic form of gods.

However, the black Destiny Jade in Rayne's hands was something completely different.

The black Destiny Jade could not create life at will because it was merely an embryo of a calamity.

It was the apocalypse that destroyed the fourth era.

The term left behind from the fourth era for it was…

Endless Bug Swarm.

Using demigods or quasigods to deal with the Black Catastrophes was merely for fun.

The only opponents suitable for the Black Catastrophe were these Blood Calamities that were even more explosive than the Black Catastrophes.

It was undoubtedly an extremely dangerous and ridiculous act to activate an apocalypse that destroyed the world in order to achieve a goal.

However, after all, what Rayne was about to invade was the homeland of Order.

He had no other choice but to resort to such extreme methods.

Furthermore…

This group of gluttonous little cuties could be considered as one of the divine equipment that Rayne had to use in the middle of his previous reincarnation cycles.

He was already rather familiar with using them.

Rayne cut his palm and took out a drop of blood, dripping it on the pitch-black ancient jade.

Sensing the blood stench, the dormant embryo reacted immediately.

Very good, it was lively and vigorous.

After confirming the activity within the embryo, Rayne asked Edaline to open the Black Catastrophe's mouth and stuff the Destiny Jade inside.

After consuming the Destiny Jade, the Black Catastrophe's body began to convulse violently. Thereafter, it let out a tragic cry and stopped moving.

Edaline asked curiously, "What exactly is that?"

Rayne smiled. "It'll be out soon. You won't find its appearance unfamiliar."

After an hour of waiting…

Thereafter, the Black Catastrophe began to convulse violently once more. Thereafter, its chest bulged up and finally split open from the inside!

After the Destiny Jade underwent initial development in the Black Catastrophe's body, the new life that was born burst forth!

A pitch-black salamander-shaped living being appeared before everyone.

Although the way this thing was born was bloodthirsty and violent, Edaline, who usually unleashed violently R18 means when it came to killing off foes, was pretty calm at the moment.

In fact, she seemed surprised.

"Isn't this little fellow… Lilia's Little White Duck?"
