I, the undead, save the world with the dolls

Riot foam is something Griffin already has. This equipment has proven its reliability from capturing Iron-Blooded Dolls to restricting the actions of Curse-Binders.

The coolant was a piece of technology from the Great Mountain Range. Originally used to cool the fusion core, it was still being integrated between Oasis Labs and the Great Mountain Range Labs—but it was still usable.

Dozens of humanoids and puppets equipped with these jets were summoned by Sun Yang. After assigning the manpower, they rushed into the depths of the bottom floor.

These figures and puppets sprayed liquid nitrogen and coolant onto Smoke Knight Rem. Although the magical power attached to him was quite strong, being sprayed with so many cooling substances would weaken even the strongest power to the extreme.

Tortured by liquid nitrogen and coolant, the Smoke Knight tried to chop the humanoid in front of him, but a large amount of quick-drying foam and gel restricted his mobility.

Then, humanoid figures wearing new heavy-duty power armor rushed forward, pinning Smoke Knight to the ground and restraining him with special restraints.

A heavily armored humanoid like Rem could easily have been knocked down, but frozen stiff, his face covered in foam, and swarmed by seven or eight other humanoids, he couldn't even swing his massive, smoke-filled sword and was pinned to the ground. Waiting for Sun Yang's follow-up arrangements.

As for the Coal Bride, she was dealt with in the same way. After the dangerous quick-freeze equipment sprayed the room, a humanoid wearing heavy protective gear rushed into the room and pulled the trembling Nadra out.

"Can you figure out what's going on?" Sun Yang asked, standing in front of Nadra, to Strider, who had been controlled several times and then freed himself. Elsewhere, dozens of humanoids equipped with liquid nitrogen launchers and riot foam sprayers were cleaning up the mess.

"It's a very promising ability. This is a direct operation on the soul level. Anyone with a soul will probably be unable to avoid its influence." After waking up on his own for the third time, Strider cast a spell on his head that Sun Yang couldn't understand. "Okay, now I can avoid the influence. It's indeed similar to the charm magic used by the sorcerer of Ug. Maybe this is the source..."

"Who are you?" Nadra, who had been lying on the ground, trying to exert her strength, raised her head. The large group of enemies before her were mostly constructs imbued with small amounts of souls, and she had no power over them.

The remaining two were undead. One possessed powerful magical skills, capable of quickly isolating his own magic. The other, though unremarkable, possessed an exceptionally large soul. His magic was ineffective against either of them.

However, Sun Yang and Strider ignored her. They were just discussing the follow-up plan.

"It is indeed a fragment of the power of the ancient dark soul. The Dark Fallen in Ms. Rukatiye's world is dead, but the Dark Fallen in your and my world are still intact. Although I still don't understand how the ancient times made the two independent worlds blend with each other, it is indeed very convenient." Strade was recording something on the tablet in front of him with great interest.

"We are trying to solve the problem Sun Yang in a very novel way. Different worlds can try different endings, and even mistakes can be made up for. I should have realized that the power of crossing parallel worlds is so full of potential. Maybe I need to wander around this world alone." Several interesting ideas popped up in Strade's mind.

"You mean, you're leaving? Have you lost interest so quickly?" Sun Yang asked tentatively.

"No, that's not the case. No matter how many parallel worlds there are, they will all be explored one day, and the other worlds are infinite unknowns. I just want to dig up the treasure in front of me." Strade explained.

"Then I hope you can arrange some of the things at hand first, and figure out the matter of Rukatiye before leaving. Do you think she will help to break the curse? If she did it all by herself, would she help?" Sun Yang pointed at the coal bride Nadra who was suppressed by the human figure on the ground.

"But I don't think she would help us, even in her dying moments. If we don't understand her power, she'll only take advantage of us." Strider looked at Nadra, pinned to the ground and unable to move. "But that's not a problem. I can recover her soul and study it. The main world I'm in is still an undiscovered treasure trove, and there are other parallel worlds... There are as many resources as I need, and I will explore them."

"What are you going to do?!" Nadra from Sun Yang's world instinctively felt that something was wrong. She tried to break free from the restraints, but the power armor possessed far more power than Nadra.

"Nadra's soul may still have the ability to control others, Strade, have you considered this?" Sun Yang took out a shotgun and aimed it at Nadra below.

"I will properly set up some safety devices and hand them over to the humanoids at the Oasis base." Strade said calmly.

"I can help you solve it—" Nadra shouted hoarsely. But Sun Yang and Strider were not interested in listening to her excuses.

Bang! Bang! Bang! Three single-shot bullets shattered her head.

"I don't intend to let a dangerous person like you enter my base alive." Sun Yang shook his head. This dangerous power can only be used to resolve Rukatiya's curse. No one can say for sure whether the developed technology will have hidden dangers.

The soul of the Dark Fallen Child flowed into the bodies of Sun Yang and Stride. Sun Yang searched Nadra's chest, and a dark, special soul appeared in his hand. Sun Yang sealed it in a large glass bottle and handed it to Stride.

"A very special soul. Very good. I believe I can learn something from it." Strider examined the soul carefully while wearing an iron mask. "So chaotic, yet so beautiful."

"By the way, do you know why I am not affected by the bewitching? I saw that you were also bewitched for a short period of time, but I didn't feel anything from beginning to end." Sun Yang raised his question.

"I think it's based on the strength of the soul, Master Sun Yang. Ms. Rukatiye's soul is too young. Although it can be considered huge, it is still too weak in the face of time. However, everyone grows up from youth, and having this experience is not a bad thing."

Strade gave Rukatiye a low evaluation without hesitation. After all, only through years of hard work can one prove their worth.

"Master Sun Yang, your soul is incomparable to that of Nadra, the Fallen of Darkness who is alone in the tower, in terms of complexity and quantity. As for myself, my research in Oraphis is not in vain. That is because I can barely find... the technology and knowledge of what is now called the ancient kingdom." After making a series of evaluations, Strade returned the bottle containing the soul to Sun Yang and asked him to transfer the soul back to the main base.

"Come to think of it, I transferred Nadra's soul away, but Rem didn't regain his consciousness?" Sun Yang looked at the Smoke Knight Rem, who was still trying to struggle despite having his joints pinned down by a bunch of humanoid figures.

But now, he was no longer surrounded by smoke, and his proud sword had been taken away by the humanoids. His entire body was covered in frost and ash dust, and he was pinned to the ground, unable to move.

"Perhaps with time, this curse will become more deeply rooted. You know, just like a chronic disease, it may not heal itself if left untreated, and it may get worse. If possible, I would like to have a living sample." said Strade.

"Living sample?" Sun Yang felt as if his bottom line was being tested. He surprisingly felt that it was not unacceptable.

"Your kindness may bring you hope... or destruction at some point in the future. But the country of this Knight Rem has been destroyed, and no one will care about his death. Besides, he has been completely bewitched. If the experiment is successful, there may be a chance to restore his consciousness. The worst result is the death of the sample." Strade persuaded.

"Also, Master Sun Yang, I need to collect some other materials from your Black Mist Tower world to assist in my research," Strade said, picking up a pile of dust from the ground. "This dust still contains the power of the Lord of the Black Mist. Although it was stolen by the Fallen Child of Darkness, Nadra, it didn't have much of an impact."

"Okay, you have a point. Recycling department, we plan to send a strong warrior, prepare manpower, and equip riot control equipment. No, there is no rush. Strade, you go and collect all the materials first. After I transfer Rem, the space and time here will fall into chaos due to the soul vacuum, and then you will be thrown back to your own world." After Sun Yang informed the head of the recycling department of the base, the head conveyed the order to the stationed humanoid team.

"I understand, thank you for your understanding." Strade bowed.

"Go find whatever you need." Sun Yang temporarily handed the command of several humanoids and their puppets to Stride, asking him to collect the necessary materials in the Black Mist Tower.

[Roger that. Strider, what do you need to collect? You can call me Negev. Just let me know if you need anything. I'm the captain of this squad.] The power armor's visor flipped up, revealing long pink hair beneath. Negev activated the armor's weapon system. It consisted of a conventional live-fire cannon, a howitzer, and self-locking missiles.

As for the other humanoid power armors, some use new heavy laser guns and heavy plasma launchers, and the rear modules are replaced with protected batteries and plasma materials. To be honest, Sun Yang always feels that this set is a bit closer to the direction of Warhammer 40k Space Marine power armor.

However, the equipment used by the humanoids is definitely far inferior to the weapons used by the Space Marines. If they really encounter those iron cans, the humanoids and undead together will only be enough to fight off one or two.

"Very good," Strade said, and he led the figure up the tower. Soon, the sound of gunfire and the crackling of lasers hitting their targets could be heard. The Smoke Knight left four power-armored puppets to suppress him, while the rest followed Strade up to hunt.

It seems that this won't be over anytime soon. Sun Yang paced slowly in this underground environment, and suddenly realized that he seemed to have forgotten to take something.

I think after completing the DLC, you're given a crown? This one should be the Iron Crown, which restores 20% of your spell charges every few minutes. It's a must-have for the Undying Challenge.

Sun Yang rushed into the small room and searched. He didn't find the magical crown on Nadra, so it must have been thrown into the room. If it was shattered by artillery fire, then he would have no choice but to kill Nadra from the Strade world with tears in his eyes.

Feeling a little guilty, Sun Yang rummaged through the ashes for a long time before finally finding the iron crown, which was pitch black and made of metal, in the pile of ashes deep next to the throne.

"...Put it away first." Sun Yang wouldn't put it on his head without hesitation. Please, this is something the Dark Fallen Child has been holding for a long time. Let's wait until Master Treasure Appraiser Strider comes back and verifies it, then we can put it on our head. There's no rush now.

About an hour later, Strider returned from the upper levels with a group of humanoids. He encountered almost no resistance. Without Nadra's control, the defenders here became the living dead. Their consciousness had completely dissipated, leaving only the instincts of zombies.

It's not too easy to defeat these enemies who haven't formed a combat formation with the firepower of the humanoids and the magic of Strider.

The captured Smoke Knight was still twisting restlessly. After Sun Yang had the humanoid inject him with a sedative that could knock down ten elephants, the Smoke Knight calmed down for a short while.

He grabbed the Smoke Knight's ankle and tried to transport him to the main base. The Smoke Knight was more difficult to transport than the other undead he had transported.

This enormous life force required more souls to be transferred. After spending nearly 10,000 souls, Sun Yang finally wrapped up the Smoke Knight with great difficulty and sent it to the main base.

The humanoids at the main base immediately restrained it with brand new shackles and chains made of Saturn alloy, and then several humanoids wearing power armor sent it to the living specimen area.

Rem's weapons and protective gear were quickly removed and put aside. The dark green zombie body under the protective gear made the humanoids in charge of escorting him sigh.

Along with this Rem, there are also rare animals captured from all over the world of Kenshi. While this may not necessarily help the combat effectiveness or production of humanoids, the scientific research data obtained is invaluable.

As for Nadra's headless corpse, Sun Yang also teleported it there. What if Strider could gain some inspiration from it? However, the creation of the Stitched Corpse Monster was strictly prohibited, so there was no need to worry too much about that. The entire base's experimental environment was fully monitored, and even if Strider wanted to create a humanoid, he would be notified.

"At least these are not ordinary living people." Sun Yang sighed after transferring the Smoke Knight to his main base.

"Then maintain this awe for humanity. Otherwise, your heart will be lost and you will become self-paralyzed. The end result will be that you will completely lose your identity as a human being." Strade didn't say anything, but just gave his own warning.

265 Speed ​​Pass Molten Iron City

Strider was not slow in collecting materials, but when he came back with a pile of what looked like rags, he still showed a somewhat painful expression when he saw Sun Yang take out the Iron Crown from the ashes.

"You've found so many new things that I don't even have time to travel. The soul of the Dark Fallen, her body, and the Iron Crown. But this crown..."

Strider cast several spells at his iron mask and stared at the iron crown for a long time.

"Can I wear it?" Strade asked Sun Yang.

"It may be dangerous, but please go ahead." Sun Yang informed him and then handed the crown to Strade.

Strider took off his iron mask and put the crown on his head. Then he raised his eyebrows in surprise.

"I can feel that my spiritual power is constantly recovering, which is incredible. It's a pity that only the finished product of this magical device is left, but there is no technical documentation. It is extremely difficult to restore this technology after it is lost. Unfortunately, I am not a dexterous craftsman." Strade said regretfully.

"Can't the modern equipment at the base do it?" Sun Yang felt that this crown might be prepared for his teammates in the future.

"If I could do it, I wouldn't say that. Only someone like the Ancient King of Iron, who has extraordinary control over iron, can make such a crown. If you like, you can wear it all the time. There is not a trace of the dark soul on it." Strade took off the crown and returned it to Sun Yang.

"Although I feel like I'm going to get shot in the head, it's still pretty good to have a mana recovery buff." Sun Yang put the crown on his head and found a strap to secure it.

"It suits you quite well. Have you ever considered becoming a king, Master Sun Yang?" Strade suddenly asked, "Rule the world and conquer every world you come to..."

"No, I don't have the confidence to command ambitious subordinates. I just take a few reliable people and a group of reliable humanoids. And what if I take over the world? I don't want to take care of so many places. Let me tell you, if this thing can't restore mana, I won't wear it." Sun Yang said, pointing to the iron crown on his head.

"You are really casual, Master Sun Yang, but that's okay. I don't want to bear the title of a royal wizard. I have to concentrate on analyzing the power of the Fallen of Darkness during this period of time, so don't arrange any other tasks for the time being." Strade said seriously.

"No, no. Just keep busy." Sun Yang nodded quickly. But speaking of which, it seems that there is indeed a skilled craftsman in the land of Dolan Gureg who can refine souls?

I forgot what her name was, but she was a creature with a bird's head. Although Sun Yang didn't often look for her, her appearance was so strange that Sun Yang was quite impressed by her.

After sending away the humanoids loaded with experimental materials, Sun Yang immediately started to work on the next action with Rukatiye.

Whether conducting research or searching for other Fallen Children of Darkness, both took time and effort to complete. Neither Rukatie nor Sun Yang planned to wait. After rigorously training her body and fully absorbing the temporarily stored soul, she embarked on another journey.

Rukatiye first found time to return to the bottom floor of the Black Mist Tower. She had heard that Sun Yang had found a crown that could quickly restore spiritual power, and she became interested in going back to her own world to search for it. However, the situation there was worse—the Iron Crown had been shattered.

No matter how sturdy the equipment, after being bombarded by several correctly overloaded nuclear fusion cores, it would be almost completely destroyed. After all, Sun Yang had already used various firepowers for a long time before throwing in experimental laser weapons. It would be great if some fragments were left.

These fragments only have a slight function of restoring mental strength. Rukatiye collected them with tears in his eyes and asked Sun Yang to keep them and see when he can find someone to repair them.

Then, in front of Rukatiye, Sun Yang cast a spell on one of the fragments. The fragments immediately reunited, and even some small particles that had been shattered to pieces reappeared on it.

"This, isn't this a very rare and precious crown?" Rukatiye said, holding the iron crown.

"Haven't you used repair polish before?" Sun Yang looked as if it was a matter of course.

"But the magical power attached to it...how did you repair it so easily?" Rukatiye opened her mouth. It seemed that in her impression, it would cost a considerable amount to repair equipment with powerful magical power.

"Didn't I say it? The essence of repair magic is to turn back time, and light is time. Although the magical power attached to it will have some impact, it will only cost a little more mana. This repair magic is still very powerful. If I have enough magic power, I can even repair the Molten Iron City to its original state - but you also know that my mana bar is not that long." Sun Yang gave some popular science to Rukatiye who was still in a state of shock.

"Okay... then let's give this crown to Strade. He needs it more than I do, and if I give it to him, it will be difficult for him to find an excuse to refuse." Rukatiye thought for a few seconds and asked Sun Yang to give the crown to Strade.

"Really? This crown works pretty well." Sun Yang asked.

"I simply can't cast that many spells. If I use them, I'm worried my head will get blown off by some flying object. It's better for me to wear a hat or helmet. At worst, I can ask him to clean it and return it to me later, or I can just fight Nadra again from his side of the world."

Rukatiye didn't have much thought of trying to keep him. It was just a trophy, no big deal. It was common for teams to allocate equipment to each other.

Well, at least Strider was able to use it when doing research, and Rukatiye had learned magic weapon enchantment and the most basic soul arrow. She simply couldn't use up all her mental power.

After Sun Yang handed the crown to Strade, he simply nodded and put the crown on his head.

Rukatiye also tried to use the soul in his body to strengthen his magical aptitude, but this also seemed to depend on talent.

When Strider returned to the Green Pilgrim, he casually spent all his souls, giving himself an all-around improvement. Meanwhile, if Rukatiye wanted to improve himself, he had to study hard or exercise vigorously.

In response, Strider explained, "Ms. Rukatiye is still too young and lacks sufficient experience. This is what happens when a soul you acquire far exceeds the body you have trained."

After spending all his souls, Strider returned to the main base world to begin new experiments and tests. Sun Yang and Rukatiye left the Black Mist Tower and headed to the nearby Ironforge City to investigate.

Molten Iron City is a city that collapsed into lava due to an accident. Legend has it that a local sorcerer named Aegir summoned a life-giving flame, which then animated a massive Molten Iron statue.

The Iron Kingdom no longer relies solely on iron golems made with puppet technology to fight, but has its own large heavy infantry units, which can continue to challenge Dolan Gureg in the north.

But the fatal thing was that after the Iron King created a solid iron dragon statue as tall as a city wall and asked Aegir to send the flame of life into the statue, the iron statue went into a frenzy and devoured the Ancient Iron King who was reading next to it.

The Iron King's soul was quickly assimilated by the Iron Statue, and the rampaging Iron Statue destroyed most of Molten Iron City, causing most of the city to sink into the magma. The Iron Statue itself sank into the magma and was never seen again.

The Iron City wasn't far from the Black Mist Tower. Rukatiye had first found the Iron City, but was beaten to the point of near-zombification, forcing him to leave and explore other places.

This magnificent iron city boasts massive walls and towering buildings. It seems the Iron City was built directly on a volcano, the Iron King crafting a city from metal and heat-resistant masonry.

There were no citizens to be seen in the city, only a large number of Aaron Knights still stationed here, all of whom had turned into zombies.

After Dolan Gureg destroyed the Iron Kingdom, he looted all the iron in the Iron City. These knights and the iron golems left here continued to patrol along the same paths they took in their lifetime, guarding this empty city without a king or people.

While listening to Sun Yang telling stories about the past, Rukatiye walked with Sun Yang to the outskirts of the Iron City.

She and Sun Yang charged straight in through the main gate. The molten iron wall was dozens of meters high, but it couldn't stop Sun Yang. He simply found some building materials to step onto and scale the wall.

The Aaron knights on the city wall who were aiming their bows at them were all killed one by one by Sun Yang's lightning spears. Even if they were to shoot arrows, Rukatiye could easily dodge them.

These warriors, clad in skin-tight metal armor, rushed forward without a word. Rukatiye reached up to block the leading man's sword, but unexpectedly, he knocked the opponent's weapon away.

Until now, she had a new understanding of her own growth in strength. Soul power had strengthened her body functions many times over, just like growing from an infant to a teenager, her progress was rapid.

She chopped off the opponent's head swiftly. The undead's body was too tough, so chopping off the head was the safest way.

It was incredibly hot here, considering the entire city was built on a volcano. It was unbelievable that these undead could patrol the lava in full metal armor. Rukatiye was sweating profusely just standing there.

"It's hard to imagine that less than a month ago, I had to be so cautious in dealing with them that I had to consider even one-on-one situations carefully." Rukatiye muttered to herself as she ran along the city wall.

These Aaron knights who had received special combat training formed a formation to resist Rukatiye, but she was faster and stronger than these knights, and these formations were defeated in an instant.

The soldiers stationed on the city wall were quickly cleared out, and then the two of them explored the city.

It seemed as if there was no one alive in the entire Iron City. Rukatiye and Sun Yang searched everywhere for someone they could communicate with, but they found no one.

That strange businessman is gone? Sun Yang frowned. It made sense. How could such a strange guy be doing business in a city like this? Is there really anyone who still comes to this place?

The battle in Molten Iron City was much faster than that in Black Mist Tower. This was understandable, as the city had indeed been plundered by Dolan Gureg, and the remaining troops were only the remnants of the defeated army.
