Here, the Lord said this is a good thing

On the way from Purgatory Furnace to Eternal Night Opera House, Ye He lowered his head to check the sword in his hand.

[Mercyless Piercing Star] (Savior's Holy Sword)
[The seal protects the holy sword of a savior. It once pierced the spine of its defeated master, but it also absorbed more of the savior's power.

The savior sealed in the sword has awakened, and soaking in the water of life can complete the recovery of the savior.

But does all this still have any meaning to this savior whose country and world have been destroyed? 】

Yes, definitely.

Ye He obtained this holy sword long ago, and he personally pulled the sword out of the spine of the female savior.

At that time, Ye He fed her a drop of water of life, and then she sealed herself in this holy sword.

So much time had passed, Ye He felt that she should have had a "rest" long ago, but he could not find a way to awaken her consciousness.

Fortunately, Ye He met Fan Kuang in Eternal Night City. With the mentality of giving it a try, Ye He asked Fan Kuang for help, and unexpectedly it really worked.

【Lord of Destruction】

This is a supreme being outside this world, in the void. Just praising his name and reading this title will attract his crazy followers to invade this world.

Ye He had always wanted to use this behavior to "brush" himself some [Rust Coins of Destruction] that symbolize this supreme existence, but considering that this world is pretty good at the moment, he didn't do it.

Awaken the savior in the holy sword, learn more about the Lord of Destruction through her, and find a more suitable way to "make money"...

That's why Ye He said she was useful.

"Not now..."

Ye He still has a large amount of water of life in his hands. Even if it is not enough, he can summon Fulilian to help him get it at any time. It is definitely enough to wake up this "Sleeping Beauty".

But in order to prevent her from shouting the name of the Lord of Destruction as soon as she woke up, Ye He decided to do so in the void later.

After throwing the holy sword into the silver ripples, Ye He just arrived at the gate of the Eternal Night Opera House.

It’s called an opera house, but this huge building is obviously like a Colosseum… It should have been a Colosseum in the beginning, right?
Considering the character of the Grand Duke, who could be extremely eccentric when things got weird, and who was "eccentric" in every sense...

Ye He felt that it was possible for it to see that the building was big enough and suitable for use as a concert hall, so it plundered it and took it for itself.

In the tavern over in Nora, there would occasionally be some extremely powerful gladiators who were not candidates for the Eight Kings of the Outer City District.

They usually just bury their heads in drinking and sigh helplessly.

In addition, every one of them is deaf.

It seemed that they had paid a considerable price in the process of retaking the Colosseum, so much so that even the "resurrection" mechanism of the City of Eternal Night could not heal their hearing.

Back to reality, before stepping into the building in front of him, Ye He had already heard pleasant piano sounds coming from inside.

Even without opening his mouth, the Archduke's instrument playing level is still world-class, as he has plenty of time to practice.

but……

"Roar!!!!!!"

The noise, like the roar of a monster, suddenly covered up all the beautiful piano sounds.

Ye He had already raised his right foot, but before it stepped into the door of the building, his left foot twisted involuntarily because of the roar, so that when he put his right foot down, it was already stepping in the direction away from the building.

Don't get me wrong, Ye He did not change his plan to visit the Grand Duke, it's just that his body's "self-rescue instinct" was too strong.

"I love you I love you I love you I love you..."

The monster-like roar continued. Although it was a serious word, the way it was pronounced could never be called "singing". It could only be identified as an "attack" by Ye He's "self-rescue instinct"!
In fact, the hell suit on Ye He had already emitted sparks, activating the defense mechanism.

This was a situation that had never occurred to Ye He in Purgatory Crucible or in the friendly match with Fanaticism.

"You love me, you love me, you love me, you love me..."

An invisible giant hand stretched out from the dark gate of the Colosseum, grabbed Ye He to "help", and dragged Ye He into the Colosseum.

Apart from trying his best to control his body and not to move around, and desperately hypnotizing his "self-rescue instinct" in his mind, Ye He could do nothing at this time, but he was very busy.

"Eternal night, eternal night, eternal night..."

The roaring "song" like the "roar of the monster" continues.

Captured by an invisible giant hand, Ye He quickly passed through stone archways, corridors, and stairs, then flew out of the "viewing exit" and arrived at the extremely spacious circular audience seating area of ​​the Colosseum.

In addition to the tall figure who was "violating" a high-end piano below, Ye He saw at a glance that there were quite a few "audiences" in the audience.

The gladiators that Ye He just remembered were sitting in a corner of the audience with expressionless faces.

Deafness saved them, but tears were indeed glistening in the corners of their eyes.

There are also some ghosts, orcs, half-beasts and other monsters in other places.

Except for the green-skinned orcs who were waving excitedly to the Duke below, they should have come to this auditorium on their own initiative...

The other monsters must have "accidentally" passed by the building, and then were caught and "invited" here just like the invisible big hand did to Ye He.

The ghosts are better off. Since they can "materialize" part of their ghost bodies, they can naturally also completely "invalidate" part of their ghost bodies.

Just don't hear it.

The most pitiful ones are the half-humans with beastman ears on their heads.

They are a race that generally has a normal human body shape, with only some animal characteristics on the surface of the body.

It is because of these animal characteristics that they possess strength far beyond that of humans, and also have hearing far beyond that of humans...

So don't just look at them smiling and sitting there with their eyes closed, they have actually been dead for some time.

They are really dead, not just dead.

"Roar!!!! Love you love you love you love you!!!"

An invisible hand placed Ye He in a "VIP" audience area closest to the Grand Duke, allowing Ye He to enjoy the Grand Duke's singing at the closest distance.

In order to save his life from this "song" that makes his bones crackle.

Ye He had already had Camelot pierce his eardrum and covered all the bones in his body to ensure that even bone conduction would not "hear" the sound.

So he could look at the Archduke who was singing below with a smile on his face and his eyes open.

The appearance of the Grand Duke... well, there's actually nothing good to see because it's just a skeleton.

But it is not an undead creature, not an undead creature, not an undead creature!!!

In a sense, the Grand Duke is not dead yet, it is still alive. Although only bones are left, the Grand Duke is too powerful...

For example, Nora's father, the "God of Death" of Eternal Night City, was killed by the Grand Duke.

The Grand Duke was not originally one of the four "Eight Kings" of the Central City, but the strongest of the gladiators.

But who says it is strong?

Nora also told Ye He that the Grand Duke was the only strong man who took the initiative to join the Eternal Night City, and he was forced to join the Eternal Night City even without the permission of the Immortal King Fafna!
When Ye He heard the news for the first time, he couldn't help but stand in awe of the Grand Duke.

[Grand Duke of Death Voice] (Epic life form·Legendary Warrior/Legendary Mage/Legendary Priest, the first three-professional legend in history·Immortal·Dragon Slayer·God Slayer·Abyss Challenger (10th floor)·Abyss Traveler (30th floor)·Abyss Breaker (50th floor)·……)
The title of the Grand Duke appeared in Shenhui's vision. What was very terrifying was that this was the first time Ye He saw it in an existing title. The ellipsis appeared because the labels were endless, not because the labels had not been detected clearly...!
Every time Ye He saw the title of the Grand Duke, his scalp would tingle. It and Fafner were the only two beings that Ye He was very sure that he was absolutely unable to defeat at the moment.

There is no fighting, but efforts are needed.

Finally... the singing that caused the ground of Eternal Night City to crack and nearly 70% of the walls and auditorium of the Colosseum to collapse finally ended.

"Whaaaaaaa!"

“So cool!!!!”

"Grand Duke! Grand Duke! We love you!"

The green-skinned orcs howled at the Grand Duke like fanatical fans.

As expected, they are the savage orcs who are said to continue to "grow" even when buried in the ground. How could they withstand the singing of the Grand Duke?

"Puff thump thump!"

Well, they cheered loudly and then lay down with their lives burned out.

Only when it is 12 o'clock midnight can they, the almost stinking half-human beasts, and the devastated Colosseum be "resurrected".

"Thank you!"

The Archduke, whose voice was still "rough", stood up and bowed in return to the audience.

As soon as it left the battered piano, it suddenly collapsed and shattered into a large pool of powder, even the ivory keys and metal strings were not spared.

This is also the reason why the Grand Duke needs Yehe to replenish its musical instruments.

But for the sake of the personal safety of the residents of Eternal Night City, Ye He acted in a black-hearted way and did not make much money from the Duke.

It is very rare that Ye He actually did a "good deed" out of kindness from the bottom of his heart!
"Mr. Ye He, are you here to give me a new musical instrument? Also, the mainland tour you mentioned earlier... I have always been interested!"

The Grand Duke's eyes were focused on Ye He, of course, he just turned his face towards Ye He.

After Ye He removed Camelot, recovered his hearing, and nodded to the Grand Duke.

The next second, it suddenly appeared beside Ye He and sat with Ye He in the audience seats that had not collapsed yet.

No one could see clearly the movement trajectory of the Grand Duke. Ye He even suspected that it had "grown" out instantly from the position next to him, rather than jumping up from below.

"Custom-made instruments take some time to make, and there's still a month before the delivery date we agreed on."

Ye He nodded to the Grand Duke and smiled.

"And then... a concert tour requires time to prepare. You need a band and a lead singer with a different style."

"I understand. I'll just keep looking forward to it!"

The Grand Duke was exceptionally kind to Ye He, unlike other people who were deeply wary of Ye He because they had seen through Ye He's true nature.

Of course, this may be because it is so strong that it doesn’t care about Ye He’s “danger” at all.

"I came here today mainly to give you this."

Ye He handed the Grand Duke a piece of paper that looked like a document.

"This...could this be..."

The Grand Duke showed extraordinary excitement about these pages, and his bony hands seemed to tremble as he took them.

"Yes, this is the singing technique called "black voice" that I told you about before! It will definitely suit you!"

In order to help the Grand Duke live a more normal life, Ye He has been using his influence and interpersonal relationships to contact many famous human singers these days.

Then he used the little impressions in his mind, combined with the suggestions of these singers, and finally put together this document for the Archduke that detailed the principles of the "black voice" singing method.

Although Ye He didn't know whether this thing would be useful, but...he would save as many as he could.

Ye He doesn't want to give up Eternal Night City because of the Grand Duke.

If it really doesn't work, Ye He has a backup plan, which is to call Cathy over!
He just couldn't believe that Cathy, an angel, the spiritual successor of the choir, and the world's darling, couldn't get the Archduke out of the microphone and make him play obediently!

Mainland tour concert... This was not an excuse Ye He used to deceive the Grand Duke, but he really thought about it.

By using these concerts, Ye He can show the "fist" of Eternal Night City to the entire continent, and he can also take the opportunity to deter those guys who have begun to plot ill and keep making small moves against him.

Of course, Cathy is necessary in this concert band, and Ye He is not trying to destroy the world.

Without Cathy, once Ye He starts the concert tour, he will immediately become a lost being.

"Roar the rhythm... out? I'm familiar with this! But this way of controlling the rhythm... is really unique!"

The Grand Duke has been completely immersed in the "new way of singing". Ye He doesn't know why he is so keen on "singing", but it has this weakness as a hobby... It's better than nothing.

"I need to speak immediately! Mr. Ye He, you..."

While the Grand Duke wasn't paying attention, Ye He had already secretly left the Colosseum. He didn't want to be "roared" to death as the Grand Duke's test subject.

Fortunately, it was midnight and the audience members who had died in the audience seats were being resurrected one by one.

They looked around their surroundings in confusion, and then smiled with relief that they were still alive.

But just as they were about to stand up and leave, they were immediately met with the Archduke's fiery gaze...

"See you tomorrow night."

Many people silently greeted those who shared the same suffering as them, and faced death calmly with a smile.

No way, I'm used to it.

"Whaaaaa!"

Those green-skinned orcs started to make noise again.
