I, the undead, save the world with the dolls

Sun Yang directed his immense power towards his intelligence, and the power he obtained from each boss continuously increased his intelligence... Although it was only an increase in intelligence, he still couldn't solve the difficult math problems of high school.

Just accept the fact that I'm not a science major, Sun Yang thought silently.

Several powerful bosses and the souls obtained in battles on the road were enough for Sun Yang to increase his intelligence to 50 points in one go, a full increase of 30 points.

The main thing about intelligence is that I can train everything except my intelligence. I really can't do anything about it. I don't have the brains, so instead of just leaving it there, it's better to address this shortcoming as soon as possible.

"Thank you, Shanalote." Sun Yang patted her shoulder, then turned and ran towards his own cabin.

He chatted with his acquaintances along the way, reported his safety, and then walked towards his sleeping place without looking back.

There was nothing else to worry about, I just wanted to go back to sleep. Carrying a bunch of souls on my body wasn't always safe, so I just had to convert them into power. Sun Yang walked quickly to the door, opened it, and went in.

"...See you later." Shanalote said goodbye, then pulled out the machine Sun Yang had given her as a gift from his pocket. He sat down and started playing with great interest.

Hmm? Speaking of which, Strade is his friend, right? He's been living here ever since he came back a while ago.

The game console is so fun I forgot to mention it...it shouldn't be a big deal, right? Shanalote quickly looked away and opened the game console with a hint of guilt.

"Oh oh oh! Who are you?!" Sun Yang saw an old man with a slightly tired expression lying on the bed in the room. He looked quite casual.

"What do you mean by who are you?" The old man turned around and looked at Sun Yang with a sullen face, "Are you so seriously transformed into a zombie? I am Strade, the Strade of Oraphis."

"The sounds are quite similar..." Sun Yang approached cautiously, not wanting to be careless.

The old man put a mask on his head. It was a strange iron mask that only Strider had. He grabbed the staff under the bed, hugged it in his arms, and said strangely:

"Ha! Weak undead! Do you think you can use my magic smoothly?!"

"It turns out to be Strade! Long time no see!" Sun Yang saw the sarcastic attitude and thought, well, it's just right.

"Master Sun Yang, your habits have become more and more bizarre since you went out." Strade put down his staff helplessly, threw his helmet aside, and lay comfortably on the bed.

"So you're back from your trip? Or are you waiting for me here?" Sun Yang also pulled out a bed and found a place to lie down. He was also exhausted recently.

"That's not the case. I just visited all the important places on the Dolan continent." Strade said while lying on the bed.

"Come on...how long have you been away?" Sun Yang felt incredible. It took him and Rukatiye a long time to run to various places together. Why did Strade run so fast?

(See Chapter 280 for Strider's departure)

"When you were running around the world in Rukatiya and then went to the Radiation World to cause chaos, I measured the earth with my feet. I didn't calculate the exact time. But having said that, I was only collecting souls and treasures." Strade's tone was still quite relaxed.

"How did you know I went to the radiation treatment center?" Sun Yang scratched his head. I don't think I told him.

"Will you go somewhere else? I can tell with my toes that things over there are not finished yet. Master Sun Yang, it seems that a lot of your wisdom has been divided away by so many puppets." Strade indirectly scolded Sun Yang for being stupid.

"Okay, that's true. I've just finished my work on Radiate that world... I've finished it for now. In fact, there are still many points that have not been discovered, but I can only take away the most important things. Time waits for no one." Sun Yang sighed.

"It's a good thing to let go appropriately. It's better than being caught by a disaster or a trap. Most of the thieves who broke into ancient tombs to steal wealth died of greed." Strade recited another proverb.

"By the way, aren't you going to collect the history and knowledge after the fall of Oraphis? Have you found anything interesting? By the way, have you ever considered compiling the history of this world?" Sun Yang asked a lot of questions.

"I only collect recognizable technology and documents, including architectural fragments from past history and samples of indecipherable documents. I've recorded and backed up these with a portable scanner and some money. Don't look at me like this; I'm also someone who knows how to cherish cultural relics."

Strade pointed to the device hanging from his waist. Originally designed for humanoids to model the interior of sophisticated machinery, it had become incredibly useful for Strade.

"That's really good. But where did you go? The entire Dolan continent? There are pits on this continent that lead directly to the underground world. As soon as you left, Rukatiye and I went down the pit." Sun Yang asked curiously.

"As for why I acted so quickly, some secret passages have existed since the time of Oraphis. I still remember those locations. Although there are a lot of siltation and landslides, there are still a few passable roads." Strade showed off his amazing knowledge without hesitation.

"You are so bold, Strade. If you are not in a hurry, why don't you tell me where you have been? I have just finished dealing with some things here and I am not busy at all. I am very free." Sun Yang argued.

"Oh my god, we finally have internet. You, this human signal station... I, the fairy, am finally not a primitive anymore." Strade pulled out a tablet from his pocket and swiped it for a long time. "So you said you're not busy at all, because the humanoids are studying the technology you brought back? Your humanoids here really are saying there's too much to analyze and too little time."

"What else? If I go around and bring back some amazing technical information, Oasis's scientific research department will explode." Sun Yang could only spread his hands.

That was a literal explosion. The Oasis humanoids were already overloaded, and the most despairing thing was that the analysis of new technology could not keep up with the newly found technology.

The main reason is that Sun Yang still has too few reliable scientists. Even if Oasis tries to cultivate a reliable scientific research AI, it will take a long time to cultivate a newly born AI into a reliable scientific research humanoid. The training and practice required to cultivate and grow after a certain period of time, and only after a certain number of iterations can the scientific research humanoid be put into service.

Of course, at present, manpower is still in a serious shortage. In three months or a year, when those intelligent entities grow up, this problem will be alleviated.

"It seems my trip to the Fallout world has brought you a lot of new things. Well, that's perfect. I'll also tell you about my travels in the continent of Dolan Gureg. Maybe there's something you can use."

Strade cleared his throat and began his narration.

343 Striders' Bizarre Adventure (Part ) is also the Guilty Spark!

Subtitle: Guilty Spark!

Ever since Master Sun Yang and the young warrior Rukatiye left, I have set out on my pilgrimage again.

It's a pilgrimage, but it's nothing more than searching the ruins of a shattered and abandoned kingdom to see if there are any treasures I can pick up. I'm just a thief with a good eye.

I asked the Green Pilgrim about the legend of the Four Giants. Legends of the Four Giants have existed since my time. They tell of four powerful ancient spirits who constantly reincarnate, their forms constantly changing, but their power ultimately remaining the same.

The process went smoothly, and I killed the criminals imprisoned in Mi Port.

"Smoothly, smoothly?" Master Sun Yang looked incredulous. Even though he was so powerful, he still got startled by the slightest thing. As a future king, his tolerance still needed to be tempered.

And when it comes to recognizing people, they don't look at faces or temperament. They have to put on airs before they recognize me. I don't understand the meaning of this, but if it's Master Sun Yang, he probably really can't recognize me. The soul splitting has damaged his brain.

But even when hugging a woman, he has to hug a puppet with a split soul... Should I say that he is very magnanimous when it comes to hugging a woman, or that he has lost trust in others to a certain extent?

Those women sometimes discussed how to exploit Master Sun Yang regardless of the occasion. It seemed that separating souls was an extremely dangerous experiment. The separated souls would grow on their own and could eventually threaten the main body.

Maybe I should remind him... No, never mind, this is his experiment. I shouldn't, and I have no right to, interfere with his experiment.

The act of splitting souls and creating intelligent races is somewhat similar to that of Gwyn in ancient times. Perhaps Master Sun Yang conducted such a dangerous experiment in order to recreate the great achievements of Gwyn, the King of the Darklings in mythology.

I should give him the most basic respect for this. One shouldn't make judgments or offer guidance on things one doesn't know. At best, it'll only make you a laughingstock; at worst, it'll create animosity. Keep that in mind, Strade.

"Strider? What are you staring at?" Master Sun Yang waved his hand in front of me. I slapped the master's hand away.

The master can be quite rude sometimes, but I can forgive him. Compared to many people who enjoy eating human flesh and must take secret mushroom medicine every day to feel comfortable, Master Sun Yang can be considered a gentleman.

Anyway, I used my magic crystal gun and the strong soul resonance of dark magic to easily kill the stupid sinner who was imprisoned at the bottom of the tower.

That sinner seemed to be a sorcerer who studied chaos fire, but I didn't care about that. I killed it and left.

The rest included the Molten Earth Incarnation of the Molten Iron City, which was more troublesome, but I improved my unique skill, Soul Torrent, and smashed the iron statue full of vitality in one go.

The journey to Feiyuan was a bit thrilling, but after I killed all the breathing creatures on the road, I could naturally ask for directions while they were still breathing.

The Abandoned Abyss, also known as the Underground World in my time, is even more hostile than Oraphis. In the past, several ancient civilizations existed within this underground world. Now, only a swarm of wandering zombies remains.

On the way to search for the underground giant, I met a strange old man. He looked older than me, but the style of his clothing was very different from that of Oravis, so he must be a survivor from a later era.

The guy claimed to be Grandal who lurked in the darkness. He was an old man in a wheelchair who stayed in the Abandoned Abyss Cave for some unknown reason.

This guy, upon seeing me, told me I carried more darkness than he'd anticipated. Ha, this guy's parents weren't even born when I was studying magic.

"Are you talking about the Dark Pilgrim? An old man with a white beard sitting in a wheelchair and muttering nonsense?" Master Sun Yang seemed to know this person.

It's incredible. Master Sun Yang is worthy of his name. He has even seen this guy living deep in the abyss.

"No, I just heard about him by chance. I have never seen him. Did he ask you to find the darkness in your body? And also asked you to enter a place called the Ancient Dark Cave?" Master Sun Yang looked away, looking a little lost. "I couldn't find him."

It seems that Master Sun Yang was also worried about the things recorded in ancient books. If you are worried about not being able to find rare treasures and special spells, then this worry can be dispelled.

Because the dark arts delivered by the Dark Pilgrim were originally magics that had been improved and evolved from the time of Oraphis.

Master Sun Yang looked over with a puzzled expression. "Hmm, it seems people in this era still lack sufficient understanding and respect for Oraphis. I understand. At least Master Sun Yang knows that Oraphis knows and respects me."

The ancient dark cave mentioned by the pilgrim seemed to be a story recorded in the documents of Lordran, the abode of the gods.

Ancient books once mentioned that the kingdom of Urasil, which created the ancient magic of light, was destroyed by the Abyss, and its residents became the people of the Abyss. Artorius, one of Gwyn's four knights, traveled there and suppressed the Abyss at the cost of his own life.

I speculate that the darkness deposited within the Ancient Dark Caverns is the result of the re-accumulation of the shattered Urasil Abyss. After all, even after Manus's death, the immense darkness within his body transformed over time into the Fallen Child of Darkness.

For some reason, when I was explaining this view, Master Sun Yang looked at me with a very strange look. He would occasionally show this look, and whenever this happened, he would say some very bizarre remarks and truths.

"If it's Strade, I think it's okay to tell you. It's just that I roughly know some of the history of the Lordran region." Master Sun Yang coughed twice, "After all, I have been there."

What do you mean by "played"? You're talking like you're playing a game. Master Sun Yang, have you finally gone mad? Or did you really make it all the way from Lordran to Doran Gureg alive?

"I just know some of the truth, and I don't quite understand the specific details." Master Sun Yang said.

"There once was a chosen undead active in Lordran. I don't know what this person looked like or what his gender was, but I know that this undead was captured by Manus, who traveled across time and space, and was taken to the distant past. There, the chosen undead killed Artorius, who was corrupted by the abyss, and then went to the deepest part of Urasil and killed Manus who was entrenched there." Master Sun Yang gave his own explanation.

I couldn't understand how Master Sun Yang knew all this. It didn't align with existing historical records. Could it be that Master Sun Yang was actually an ancient immortal who existed even longer than I did?

"Manus is the ancestor of Urasil, the creator of darkness and the abyss, the father of the abyss. He was a human being, and after his death, he was buried with a treasured necklace. Because the people of Urasil were bewitched by the World Serpent and dug up his tomb, Manus was resurrected with his humanity disordered, and created the abyss here. This is probably the background." Master Sun Yang recalled.

"By the way, the secret medicine of Elizabeth that we use is made by the mushroom nurse with intelligence in Ulasil, so it has a powerful ability to continuously restore vitality." The master added at the end.

You call it knowing some truths but not knowing the details... But according to that statement, have you ever met the Chosen Undead of the Fire Bearer? Yet, you don't seem to have learned much.

Master Sun Yang showed a distressed expression, as if he had difficulty explaining the source of his knowledge.

"In a sense, I am the chosen undead myself, right? Of course, in the future I may also go to Lothric to collect ashes for firewood." Master Sun Yang said hesitantly.

Master Sun Yang must have gone truly mad, claiming to be the Fire Bearer himself. If you really want to pass on the Fire, then go ahead and do it yourself!

"Maybe I am a part of him, so don't worry about it. Maybe I just said it just to brag." Master Sun Yang laughed it off.

That's not right, Master. You don't look like you're bragging. I can still tell.

Splitting souls... Gwyn also split his soul? Could it be that Master Sun Yang is actually the soul of a chosen undead, transformed into an undead?

This also explains why he has so many puppets that are loyal to him and have traces of his soul. This is a grand plan that has been implemented since ancient times, and the research has been carried out since the transmission of the flame by the Chosen Undead.

Is this research that has been going on since ancient times in order to ensure the continuation of the human species and to free humans from the cycle of light and darkness and the influence of fire?

So Master Sun Yang’s research journey is only halfway there... Damn, this great spirit of research is so moving that I want to cry!

I firmly believe that my reasoning is correct. He has told me that he is the Firebringer himself, and this attitude is obviously because no one believes him.

I was able to find out some truly remarkable information, Master Sun Yang. You are truly too great a guy.

But what are Lothric and Ashes? I've never heard of this country. But it must be the distant Fire Nation. Master Sun Yang is preparing for the future.

I've heard that people or other things that carry fire don't die, but instead become like burnt-out coal. However, I haven't paid much attention to this, so I can only treat it as gossip or a hypothetical theory.

I didn't say these words to anyone, but pondered them silently. Some things, if explained explicitly, would make it difficult to remain friends. Let me, Strider, assist you. I'm also very interested in this research.

"We have gone too far, let's not talk about that. What happened after you went to the ancient dark cave?" Master Sun Yang urged.

Then let me tell you the story.

It seems that Master Sun Yang has no fewer secrets than I do. That's good. Maintaining this mystery and freshness will benefit both parties.

344 Strider's Bizarre Adventure (Part )

Although it's called an ancient dark cave, it's actually not a very impressive place. It's probably a place where something has sunk deep underground. Personally, I think it's more like a trial ground.

I defeated many of the guards protecting the Dark Caves and slew the creatures in the deepest depths that possessed a great deal of dark power. But to be honest, that's all there is to it. Ultimately, they are just creations shaped by the dark power accumulated over the years.

I used Spells·Inner Potential and Magic·Liberation of Magical Power to adjust myself to the best condition, then put on Miracle·Great Magical Protection and went to challenge the creature.

Spell: Inner Potential, a secret spell from the continent of Lordran, absorbs flames and activates the power contained in the body. It can greatly improve the body's performance in all aspects, including strength, spells, and energy.

However, this power is so strong that it can damage the body at any time. This is why I was reluctant to teach you this technique before. Master Sun Yang was not very strong at that time.

Magic: Unleashing Magical Power, allowing the magic power within the body to increase beyond its limit, at the cost of significantly compressing the body's vitality. This magic is not something that ordinary people can learn.

"So you know this magic? This should be something that the guy in Andil Pavilion who gives the assassination quest will give, right?" Master Sun Yang looked as if the information he knew was inconsistent with what he knew.

Magic spreads and evolves. The people in Andil's Mansion, as you mentioned, must have discovered the books I wrote and thus mastered this magic. In fact, many of the spells Andil studied in his official residence were inherited from me. He was merely a scholar who picked up on my ideas.

In other words, the power it possesses allows it to fully plagiarize others...On my subsequent journey, I realized how it stole my power.

But it doesn't matter. I am not keen on sealing up knowledge. Only those clergymen who are fighting for power and have extremely pedantic ideas would rush to put the secrets of magic aside.

I've gone off topic. Although it was still quite powerful, that dark creature possessed considerable power of fire and darkness, but it was quickly reduced to ashes under the attacks of my soul gun and giant thunder gun.

"So you can cast so many spells on yourself?" Master Sun Yang widened his eyes.

Of course there is no problem, as long as your body can withstand so many blessings and amplifications without collapsing.

However, Master Sun Yang’s combat environment does not require such preparation.

The most you can do is to find a place to prepare the three magics of invisibility, silence, and controlled fall, sneak into the enemy's hinterland, and release your puppet.
