Chapter 837 The Lion's Den! Charles's Scheme!
This was the golden holy city six months ago.

The bustling and lively atmosphere of more than six months ago is gone.

In the midst of a winter day, pedestrians hurried along the streets, while squads of imperial guards patrolled swiftly on their lion mounts, symbols of their status.

Su Ping knew that since the start of the war six months ago, this leading city in Western Europe had suffered countless attacks.

Beastmasters, who possess formidable personal combat abilities, are indeed often difficult to defend against if they were to engage in underhanded tactics.

However, in such a heavily guarded city, the lives of ordinary residents are obviously extremely difficult.

Over this period of time, the area has become visibly desolate.

"Speaking of which, it was the mediation of the previous Golden Clan Chief that finally brought the war on the Western European continent to a complete halt. However, even with the temporary halt, the situation on the Lion Kingdom is not good. Her Majesty the Queen does not show her face easily, and the previous crushing defeat has had a huge impact on her."

Under these circumstances, the prestige of the Lion Kingdom has greatly diminished. If it weren't for the guardian beast besides the Queen, the Lion Kingdom would likely be in real danger.

"Legend of the Holy Dragon," someone chimed in from the side.

Su Ping nodded: "I see. But, it was Edmund who mediated? The Eagle Kingdom still has ulterior motives! Trying to hedge their bets?"

Legend of the Holy Dragon shook his head:

"It's really hard to say. Although Edmund and the Heart of Gold are naturally part of the Eagle Kingdom and can represent it in a certain sense, Edmund often acts out of personal interests."

This guy can't be entirely representative, because the war in Western Europe caused major problems with the trading system, except for some mechanical weapons and war pets.

The financial market he had been closely monitoring suffered a significant contraction as a result. Therefore, coupled with the emergence of this phenomenal information, and his personal mediation, the war here eased, ending a ceasefire that had lasted for nearly half a year.

Su Ping frowned. In fact, he had never relaxed his wariness of this Golden Clan Chief. In fact, although he was not as good as Charles, compared with the other legendary beast tamers, this Golden Clan Chief was definitely among the top.

After all, he had Fatty, and he personally cracked the secret about the Golden Core. Fatty had used the inspiration he received to transform that thing into the core of the Dream Heart. Therefore, no one understood the potential of this Golden Clan Chief better than Su Ping.

Does this guy have some deeper purpose?
Su Ping didn't know, but it was clear that this wasn't the time to think about such things. The voice of the Holy Dragon Legend then rang out:

“Su Ping, I cannot make a direct move openly. There are certain regulations between countries. Except in special circumstances, legendary beast tamers cannot make moves casually, especially when they come to the other country’s territory.”

You have an adversarial relationship with Charles, and you have ample reason to do so. Moreover, Charles himself is not even a citizen of this Lion Country. Even if you are caught, you will have a clear reason for your actions.

But don't worry, I won't let you fight alone in crucial moments.

"The Legend of the Holy Dragon" began.

Su Ping nodded, indicating that he understood.

It is already extremely conspicuous for a top-tier beast tamer to enter other countries and take action, because this is not a difficult matter.

If this precedent is set and this barrier is broken, it will be difficult to prevent top beast tamers from the Lion Kingdom from entering any city in the Dragon Kingdom to carry out assassinations and sneak attacks.

That's just how it is.

However, Su Ping did not have this restriction; the assassination attempt on Charles and the Queen of the Lion Kingdom was the best excuse he could have used before.

For the past six months, the Dragon Kingdom has remained silent, essentially preparing for this very opportunity.

Moreover, while they cannot act openly, they can still act covertly. The guardian deity of the Lion Kingdom, as well as any potential trump cards or even the final counterattack of these two before their deaths, are things that the Holy Dragon Legend cannot afford to ignore.

Of course, in reality, Su Ping didn't care.

To reiterate, while he couldn't guarantee he would succeed in the assassination, he was confident in his own abilities and those of his pet beasts.

Even the legendary Holy Dragon is probably no match for his own pet beasts now. In a sense, he is now the strongest and number one beast tamer in the human beast tamer civilization.

As for someone like Charles, who transformed himself into an undead, he can no longer be considered human, much less a beast tamer.

"You already know the location of the Lion's Nest Secret Realm, don't you?"

Lion's Den, a legendary secret realm in the Lion Kingdom, is said to be the home of the sacred golden lion clan, the national beast.

It is also a vast and permanently existing secret realm, said to be a secret realm left behind by the ancestors of the Lion Kingdom's royal family.

Its status is similar to that of Dragon City in the Dragon Kingdom, but it is not as special as Dragon City.

However, as a top-tier nation on this blue planet, it's easy to imagine that it possesses both considerable resources and inherent dangers.

This secret realm is extremely well hidden, and few people outside know about it. However, it is not really a secret for the top leaders of various countries.

At the very center of the Golden City stands a massive palace complex shaped like a lion's head, with a colossal golden lion head sculpture atop it.

This is the Imperial City, the area where the Lion Kingdom's royal family lives and governs.

The entrance to this Lion's Nest Secret Realm is located within the gaping maw of the golden lion head sculpture in the Imperial City.

It was quite obvious, but there were definitely not many fools who would dare to break in.

This place is filled with the national beast races of the Lion Kingdom, a race at the peak of the Holy Spirit level. Although not as exaggerated as Dragon City, they are definitely not to be trifled with.

however.

Su Ping arrived today. His figure disappeared into the void, and his powerful spiritual energy prevented his aura from being leaked in the slightest.

With his own abilities, Su Ping's figure became absolutely invisible in space.

Even the entrance to this secret realm had no effect whatsoever.

This also represents Su Ping's further development of the effectiveness of his mental power during this period.

The existence of the Realm of All Spirits gave his spiritual power a unique boost, which made him feel as if he could communicate with his own spiritual world.

He can even manipulate the anchor point of his own Myriad Spirits Realm to the real world after entering the Beast Taming Space World, moving it through spatial turbulence to achieve absolute secrecy.

Even the Legend of the Holy Dragon couldn't detect much of this kind of perception.

Just as the Legend of the Holy Dragon stated, once a Beastmaster reaches the Mythical level, their abilities and effectiveness are absolutely no less than those of ordinary pets. In fact, due to their spiritual power, they can become even more wondrous and mysterious.

With the barrier of one's own mental power, traversing this secret realm was extremely smooth.

Within the Lion's Den, the most central secret realm of the Lion Kingdom, Su Ping's arrival was as natural as if it were his own living room, and he handled everything with ease!

He didn't care at all, and extended his perception outward from his own beast-taming space world, beginning to sense this huge secret realm.

……

Lion's Nest.

The central Lionheart Palace.

The terrifying necromantic energy emanates an unimaginable chill.

This chilling atmosphere was completely different from the feeling of the sacred golden lion, the main living beast of this lion's den. The latter, whose power was mainly based on the metal and light elements, was obviously brighter and warmer, revealing an indescribable sense of holiness.

However, this cold, gloomy energy is completely opposite to that of this secret realm.

Two figures sat down here, one tall and the other ordinary-looking.

The Queen of the Lion Kingdom looked at the figure before her, her feelings extremely complicated.

Envy, fear, longing, and a sense of bewilderment.

She could clearly sense Charles's immense power before her; that terrifying strength was definitely not faked.

However, the price of this power is too high.

Whether the guy in front of us is still Charles remains to be seen.

Although the other party kept saying that he was still the master of nurturing the undead, the Queen of the Lion Kingdom did not feel like she was interacting with a human at all.

She had a good relationship with Charles, a mixed-race necromancer with an Asian face, who was erudite, learned, gentle, and even a bit humorous. He also possessed the air of a noble gentleman.

That's why she had a very good impression of Charles.

However, Charles has changed more and more over the years.

First, there was the lich's body beneath that outer skin, and then, it became what it is now.

He seemed to have lost all human emotions; he had no hobbies, no feelings, only the desire to become stronger and regain his so-called status as the god of the underworld.

Now, it seems he has finally succeeded, but he is no longer himself!
Just like now.

The body of that mixed-race person with an Eastern face finally disappeared.

Instead, there was a colossal figure made of bones, a skeletal body many times more powerful than the Skeleton Lord, an evolved form of the Holy Spirit-level Skeleton Soldier.

It is filled with the cold, necromantic energy and absolute power.

At the same time, above them was a huge crown also made of bones.

She had considered whether her decision was correct. Now, on this vast planet, she was fully aware of the situation in the outside world.

That extraordinary genius human beast tamer, Su Ping's exploration of mythical beings, representing all human beast tamers, and the rest of the beings who pursue and idolize this god of the underworld.

But she understood that after participating in that assassination attempt with this guy six months ago, her fate was already sealed.

She has directly stood on the opposite side of the mainstream of human beast tamer civilization, all because of a mere boy in his early twenties.

Thinking of Su Ping, she clenched her fists, her eyes flashing with hatred and resentment.

If it weren't for the death of the Tree of Creation, if it weren't for this damned brat, her future wouldn't have been cut off like this, and she wouldn't have given up and led the Lion Kingdom down this path of no return.

So, no matter what, she was going to kill that damned brat.
She had already given in back then, and that damned brat had become a so-called mythical breeder in the Lion Kingdom, thanks to the Lion Kingdom's global fame. Yet he still had to resort to ruthless tactics in the end. How could she forget such hatred?
Charles's soul fire flickered, and as he looked at the woman's hatred, a disdainful ember flickered within it before he finally spoke:

"Elizabeth, are you ready?"

The Queen of the Lion Kingdom regained her senses, and the hatred in her eyes was replaced by determination as she nodded: "Be prepared!"

"The transformation into a lich was my original achievement. However, after fully awakening His Majesty the God of the Underworld's memories and wisdom, I truly realized that the application of this power was far too rudimentary."

Therefore, your lich transformation will be far more exquisite than before, and you may even be able to completely maintain your outward appearance. At that time, you can continue to control the Lion Kingdom, and also the new divine kingdom that will be born after the future restoration of His Majesty the God of the Underworld!
By then, Elizabeth, you will have a chance to become a mythical beast, and your pets will also have a chance to become mythical beasts!
At that time, our enemies, our adversaries, will be utterly crushed under the iron hooves of the undead army!

Clearly, the prospect described by Charles was so promising that even the Queen of the Lion Kingdom showed excitement and anticipation in her eyes.

Mythical level. Once you reach this level, what does it matter if you're human or not?

She has been a human for over a hundred years, and many of the limitations of humanity have long since become useless burdens to her.

“Your Majesty, I am ready,” she said firmly.

"Heh, Elizabeth, how many times have I told you, I am not the God of the Underworld, I am merely His Majesty the God of the Underworld's loyal servant..."

Charles spoke with a smile, even though the sight of a strange white skull with an expression as thin as flesh was itself extremely gruesome.

"Alright, now that your injuries have fully healed, let's begin!"

It slowly exhaled a strange, pale white flame from its mouth. If Su Ping were here, he would recognize it at a glance. This pale white flame contained the same aura as the one Charles had given him. More importantly, the rule consciousness belonging to the God of the Underworld contained within it was many times stronger.

This is the flame that the God of the Underworld used to create the puppet! Once Elizabeth is completely controlled, the Lion Kingdom will be entirely its possession!

Instantly, the flame merged into the body of the Lion Kingdom Queen.

A shrill scream echoed throughout the Lionheart Palace of the Lion's Nest Secret Realm, and also reached Su Ping's senses as he slowly approached.

'Found you!'
