Devil's Bible

"Because the problem of the underworld corpse is never once every ten or twenty years, but once every hundred years."

“You are all too young,” the city lord said without hesitation. “You don’t need to doubt the truth of what I’m saying.”

"Because it makes no sense."

"The awakening of the undead is a disaster for the entire Silver City."

"At this point, it's no use if you don't believe me. Event after event will drag everyone into the fight against the Nether Corpse."

"No one can escape it."

"At that time, you will still die."

"Since that's the case, then obey my orders and prepare for the awakening of the Nether Corpse." The city lord appeared extremely domineering at this moment.

However, this is not a problem.

She may not care about anything on ordinary days, but when faced with a catastrophe of this magnitude, she has to step forward.

The last time a corpse awakened was sixty years ago.

Given the rapid pace of change in Silver City, most people have already been replaced seven or eight times.

Those few who managed to survive also found it difficult to clearly explain what happened back then.

After all, back then, only the leader knew the true situation.

Those who managed to survive were mostly people in the rear or on the fringes; they were lucky enough to live.

In response to the city lord's words, most people began to continuously ask questions.

For example, how will the ghost corpse incident begin and end?

How should these people cooperate, and what benefits will they receive after cooperating?

"The benefit is not dying." The city lord had already realized this, but most people in Silver City were unreasonable.

Even in the most critical moments, all they think about is protecting themselves.

All the grand principles and missions were irrelevant to them.

If the fact that the ghost corpse incident would indiscriminately kill everyone is not repeatedly emphasized, these people will outwardly comply but inwardly disobey, even under her strong orders.

Even after saying it so many times, the city lord is certain that there are still quite a few people below harboring ulterior motives.

At this moment, the Lord of the Desolate Tomb seemed to have slightly recovered from his shock. He looked at the City Lord and asked seriously, "Are you sure this is true? Only sixty years have passed!"

The general pattern for the awakening of the undead is once every hundred years.

This time, however, it inexplicably came a full forty years earlier.

This anomaly made the Lord of the Desolate Tomb even more apprehensive.

He was a survivor of the last ghost corpse incident.

At that time, he was already a well-known and powerful figure.

It was that incident that laid the foundation for Arazuka-sama to become one of the five leaders.

Even if he hadn't successfully reincarnated as the city lord, he might have been able to compete for the title of the strongest in Silver City.

But the more this was the case, the more terrified the Lord of the Desolate Tomb became of the ghost corpse incident.

He survived that year largely because he disregarded his pride and, by sheer luck, managed to seize a crucial opportunity.

Ask him to do it again. Things that I thought I was gradually ignoring suddenly turned into a torrent of emotions.

The psychological trauma from back then remains a psychological trauma to this day.

"I don't know." The city lord shook his head. "Who can say for sure about such things?"

"How long has the Silver City existed? How many times have the ghost corpse incidents occurred? Does anyone have accurate information?"

"Even for me, I only received information from previous reincarnated individuals before my reincarnation, which said that the ghost corpse event occurs once every hundred years."

"Whether it's accurate or not, or whether it might be brought forward due to some special events, I have no way of knowing."

"The only way now is to defeat it, not to question it here."

As information was shared, several powerful leaders gradually reached a consensus.

The entire city of Silver was abuzz with activity. Of course, even after the banquet ended and the various minor and major leaders departed, the exchanges within the city lord's mansion did not cease.

The five leaders were left behind.

Besides those, there are Nems and Moro.

Cat Sister was essentially brought in by Nemus; otherwise, given her previous status, she should have already left the scene by now.

The others weren't too surprised that Nems stayed.

After all, Nemus had previously clashed head-on with the city lord by changing his aura, so in terms of strength, he was definitely qualified.

On the other hand, many people do not understand Moro.

They could basically 'read' Moro's strength; he was just a card user who wasn't even a Silver-ranked one.

Perhaps because they possess some special cards, they are able to unleash considerable power, but that's about it.

The strength of a card user lies in making up for its own shortcomings in all aspects.

One can lean towards a particular system, but the attack, defense, mobility, and adaptability capabilities provided by that system cannot be lacking.

Otherwise, in card battles, defeat can happen in an instant.

The five leaders and other mid-level leaders can all be considered silver-tier, however, the combat power of the five leaders is not on the same level as that of the mid-level leaders.

For example, if Cat Sister were to fight against Arazuka Master, her win rate would probably be 30% to 70%.

She made three moves, and was then killed seven times by her opponent.

This gap is a level that is difficult to describe.

Moro might be able to win against Cat Sister by relying on special cards, surprise attacks, luck, and other off-field factors.

However, there is absolutely no way that you could win against someone at the level of the five leaders using that method.

Besides, Cat Sister is only able to stay here because of Nemus, so what about Moro?

At this moment, Moro stood on the city lord's side quite consciously.

His eyes were full of confidence that he was on par with them.

Seeing this, the others didn't say much.

After all, the city lord is currently the strongest, and she naturally has her reasons for keeping Moro behind.

Sure enough, the conversation that followed became much more private.

"The reason the Underworld Corpse incident was resolved back then was because of one person," the city lord said, revealing some secrets.

"His presence can quell the corruption of the corpses and even transform that decaying aura to some extent."

"And these transformed things, we call silver."

"Silver can quickly make a qualified person a Silver species."

"But the Silver Seeds are the main force in dealing with the Corpse Incident," the city lord said.

The remaining leaders were all immediately intrigued.

This resource, which allows card users to become silver-tier, is also what they need.

Although they are already Silver species, one of the reasons why they are stronger than other Silver species is their long-term use of these key resources.

Thinking of this, some people couldn't help but look at Moro.

“That’s right, Moro is the reincarnation of that person from back then.”

“He is reincarnated whenever a ghost corpse incident occurs.”

"Unlike normal reincarnation, he sacrificed himself in his previous life, so he didn't retain most of his memories."

"He was able to grow rapidly during the incident involving the undead."

"I asked you to stay for two reasons. First, I want to give you some slots for conversion, so you can choose some people to go through."

"On the other hand, it's for Moro." (End of Chapter)
