I, the undead, save the world with the dolls

Long ago, (at the end of Volume 6) after returning from the Radiation World, Sun Yang and Strider traveled to Andil's official residence. Strider wanted to learn the skills of the era's most powerful magician and exchange experiences, and Sun Yang also wanted to learn the same skills and, by the way, hand in Andil's mission.

Andil's mission is to find a way to break the curse of the undead. It doesn't matter if it's roundabout or by force, as long as it can solve the problem, it is welcome.

After a relatively long journey, Sun Yang and Strade defeated monsters with strong vitality on the road while eating hot pot and singing songs until they arrived near the mansion.

418 Sun Yang's Road to Upgrade (Part )

Andil's mansion is a huge mansion full of magical power. From the outside, the mansion looks as big as a museum, and its interior can also be called such a museum.

The mansion was filled with Andil's research findings and captured exotic creatures, resembling a museum. Numerous Andil's apprentices, wearing masks, spent their days gloomily conducting dissections and experiments.

Rumors in the market said that these apprentices were worried that if their faces were targeted by the experimental subjects, they would be haunted by the ghosts of the dead. But when Sun Yang arrived here and saw these apprentices, he immediately understood the specific purpose of these masks.

In reality, they're primarily designed to protect against pollution and acid splashes. These masks essentially function as modern-day respirators and gas masks. After all, there are indeed acid pools in the Andil Mansion, and a significant number of species carry highly toxic substances.

Led by these apprentices, Sun Yang went to Andil's bedroom, where the Scholar of Original Sin prepared a campfire to communicate with guests who occasionally came to visit.

When Sun Yang arrived at Andil's residence, the base had already completed the technology of humanoid synthesis, and the ground was full of synthetic humanoids running around.

In order to gain the most powerful power in the Dark Souls world, Sun Yang showed Andil the technical details of these synths. He saved some of the technical details that could prove that the synths could move on his computer, compiled them into a book, and gave it to Andil.

Andil spent a lot of time, under Sun Yang's guidance, turning on the computer, using two thin branches to operate the mouse, and occasionally flipping through the books beside him. After ten minutes, Andil put the book down.

"I... still don't know something." After using a branch to clumsily operate the computer and flip through books, Andil said stubbornly that he didn't understand.

These technologies were a bit too complicated for Andil. He specialized in the fields of soul and fire, and knew nothing about synthesizing humans.

Andil couldn't even begin to comprehend the concepts of neural network technology and brain response areas. Trying to grasp the technical details in the textbook was as difficult as taking a university advanced math course right after entering elementary school. He was completely in the dark.

This was actually a good thing for Sun Yang. This way, he could have the humanoid organize some basic knowledge and slowly teach Andil, while also having Andil take out his treasured spells and teach them to him.

Sun Yang didn't mind passing on synthetic human technology to Andil, nor did he feel particularly at a disadvantage.

Normally, he would not share this technology with others, as others would only do bad things if they obtained the technical details. However, Andil was different. He could only mess around in the Dark Souls world, and he did want to save the world - even though he was an evil and most powerful wizard who could do human body research.

This synthetic human technology is completely useless in its hands. There are few living people left in this Dark Souls world. The remaining zombies are suffering from the loss of flame power, leading to a state of mental confusion. If Andil wants to do something, the best thing is to extract as many memories as possible from those zombies and place them in the bodies of synthetic humans.

Although this is inhumane, synths have neither dark souls nor the power of fire in their bodies. Synths with past memories can indeed escape the cycle of light and darkness.

As the flames died down, these people could build a durable shelter, unaffected by the zombie transformation. As long as Andil acted quickly, it could extend the Age of Fire for a while while gathering the survivors to replace their bodies and escape the influence of the flames and darkness.

And after the remaining people have changed their bodies, built a large enough fortress group, stored a large amount of supplies, and cultivated enough crops that can grow in the dark, Andil can let the Fire King who continues the Age of Fire rest in peace.

At that time, the world would no longer need to forcibly delay the Age of Fire, and the world would finally follow the cycle of reincarnation and enter the Dark Age. The unaffected synthetics would live in the dark world, quietly waiting for the moment when the night fades and the Fire returns.

The new human beings will no longer be driven crazy by this world, but will finally have the ability to adapt to the new world soberly.

Although there are always people who say that the bodies of the undead contain powerful potential, they can devour the souls they see and incorporate these huge souls into their bodies.

But in reality, most people didn't need this ability. Not many needed to constantly kill to survive. For most, surviving peacefully was the most important thing. Furthermore, most people died in their first battle before they even began strengthening their bodies.

To put it bluntly, even if Andil learns this technology, it can't do anything terrible. There are not many people left in the world who can be troubled by this technology. Even if Andil learns it, he can only save the human beings in the world and overcome the difficulties.

Of course, the prerequisite is that Andil agrees with this technology and can learn it.

However, when Sun Yang presented these contents to Andil, it did show great enthusiasm and was willing to teach its hidden secret spells.

Although Strade still felt that this matter was a bit too simple, but seeing that Strade also wanted him to join the research, Strade had to shut up and get involved.

Rather than dwelling on those messy things, it's more important to do research. At least that's what Strider thought.

***

The timeline returns to the present.

Sun Yang stood and plunged his spiral sword into the ground. The sword drew power from the surrounding space, rapidly replenishing his mana bar. He then opened the window to see a new batch of engineering agents and Iron-Blooded Golems ready to go in the main base. Surrounding them were a vast amount of engineering machinery and piles of raw materials, filling the teleportation plaza completely.

Sun Yang pulled out the spiral sword and shook it twice. He cleared the blue bar in his body and teleported a large number of engineering teams over to support the development of the world of the end of the United States.

After finishing, Sun Yang felt his feet swaying and his head dizzy. The feeling of having his blue bar drained out in one breath was not pleasant. Although he had done this many times, he was still not used to it.

"So... so tired... dying..." He stuck the spiral sword into the ground. The spiral sword repaired his body again, and his mana bar was replenished. "Huh... I'm fine. The connection with the base is getting closer and closer."

"I feel a slight fluctuation in space." Andil's hoarse and slightly frictional voice came from next door.

"Well? Can you explain this? I can't wait to see my wives." Sun Yang casually pulled the spiral sword from the ground and slung it over his shoulder. He had finally given up, hiding it so well felt pointless. It was done.

Anyway, you don't understand my synthetic human technology. If you make trouble, I'll just mess it up, and you'll be the only one who gets anxious. After Sun Yang figured this out, he wasn't so cautious anymore. After all, he had the bargaining chip in his hand.

"This is a gift unique to you, one I cannot explain. If you feel a connection, it points to a possibility." A branch of Andil opened the door and looked at Sun Yang from inside. "Your soul grows stronger, and your feelings become more acute. When the time comes to understand the universe, you can return home."

Is that true? Is it because I can sense the big account in that world? I've always felt that my high-level big account has become a protective umbrella for the humanoids.

Sun Yang felt that he had only just barely caught up with the soul count of his main character. The Giant King in that high-level character probably had two hundred souls, plus the BOSSes he hunted during the rounds... Sun Yang remembered that his main character seemed to have reached the maximum level.

He vaguely remembered... something like... 400 million souls? While that was the minimum for the entire series, it was still quite high. Including those who died mid-game and upgraded their equipment, it must have been around 430 million?

However, that account follows the principle that the higher the level, the more souls are required. With my body, it's not difficult to stack small bucket attributes, but the souls required when the attribute value is high are also explosive. So far, I've barely reached 10 million, after all, I hardly counted how many souls I spent.

Sun Yang scratched his head and decided to put this aside for now. Could there be some cutie in the base desperately cultivating, hoping to draw him over as a guiding light? Like a celestial torch in a sci-fi masterpiece?

If there really was one, Sun Yang would definitely do his best to reward her. Even if it meant stripping naked and running around the base twice! It would be totally worth it!

"Sun Yang?" Andil's words freed Sun Yang from his thoughts. "You're dazed again. Are you on the verge of becoming a zombie? Do you need a portrait?"

"No, I was just thinking that it would be great if a beautiful girl could come." Sun Yang said without thinking.

"What?" Andil didn't understand what Sun Yang was talking about. "I am not a human woman. Your image requirements are a bit demanding, and I can't satisfy you."

It waved the branches of the tree, trying to form a graceful human female body in the air, but failed no matter how hard it tried.

"I'm not talking about you. I'm thinking about my own things. It's nothing important." Sun Yang quickly laughed it off. He couldn't say that he hadn't seen human figures wandering around Zhimian for a long time and he missed them too much.

"It's okay. Sun Yang, the time has come. I will test the results of your practice." Andil reminded.

"I think I have almost mastered everything I should master." Sun Yang nodded and followed Strade into the special training room.

Strider, wearing an iron mask, has been waiting inside for a long time. Unlike Sun Yang, he does not have the mission of cross-world teleportation, so he only needs to concentrate on studying magic.

And now, he is improving his unique skill - Soul Torrent, and he wants to transform it into a more powerful magic.

419 Sun Yang's Road to Upgrade (Part )

"After careful consideration, I've come to believe that the current Soul Torrent is somewhat useless. While it's certainly somewhat challenging to unleash multiple Soul Spears at once, I never imagined it would be lost. Furthermore, this magic hasn't performed well in actual combat. Therefore, I've altered its fundamental structure and redesigned it."

"The redesigned Soul Torrent places higher demands on the user's physical abilities, but significantly reduces the need for mastery of magic. Furthermore... it's more impressive. While it will become the most conspicuous target on the battlefield, drawing all incoming fire, its lethality is undoubtedly formidable."

This training ground was vast, with a portion even open to the sky. Inside, various targets were prepared. Andil had prepared thoroughly to test his new spells.

In the center of the training ground, Strider concentrated a huge amount of magic power on the tip of his staff, and the magic crystal that had been precipitated over the years immediately sparkled with a crystal blue light.

The next second, Strider aimed the tip of his staff at the sandbags and debris left over from failed experiments. A massive, deep blue torrent erupted from the tip, instantly shattering everything in sight. Nothing could stop it.

After clearing away the debris in front of him, Strider stopped the flow of magic power, stopping the torrent. He looked at the mess in the training room and nodded with satisfaction.

"This magic may need some improvement, but this is basically it." Strade looked back at Andil and Sun Yang who had fallen silent, and smiled disdainfully. "How is it? Can you use my Strade magic with ease?"

Isn't this the Soul Torrent from Dark Souls 3? It's known that Andil, the mentor of the two Dark Souls 3 princes, created the Dark Souls 3 version of Soul Torrent... and now the original creator has created an improved version. Sun Yang had mixed feelings when he saw Soul Torrent, feeling like the original creator had defeated the yellow-haired man.

Damn it, if I hadn't released Strade, I really don't know when this soul torrent would be able to be created. What a surprise. Sun Yang looked at Strade in front of him, a little speechless.

"Hehe, are you so surprised that you can't speak? Don't worry, I will teach you in a while. But now, it's time to test your magic, Master Sun Yang." Strade crossed his arms and tried to show off in front of Andir and Sun Yang.

"Huh... come on." Sun Yang rubbed his face. He had learned all the known spells during this period, but it would take some time to master them.

All Strider requires is to be able to cast spells smoothly, and for more things, he can practice in actual combat and accumulate experience.

"Master Sun Yang, according to your request, we have to cast the most powerful spell attack, so it is inevitable that the body will bear unbearable force. You need to be able to withstand that force and then cast the spell." Strade stood by and said very seriously.

The powerful strength that Strade mentioned was something like applying a buff before a battle. Unlike in games, the bodies of people in this world could stack different buffs on themselves.

Miracle spells like Powerful Protection, Stone Oath, and Sunlight Nourishment have no damage to the human body and are quite effective. Spells like Iron Body and Intense Sweating are also available.

Wearing these three miracles can significantly increase spell resistance (fire, magic, lightning, and dark magic); increase physical attack and physical defense; and slowly restore health over a large area for a long time.

The two spells are: greatly increase physical resistance, but make it difficult to move; increase fire resistance.

The fact that these spells could be used together was truly eye-opening for Sun Yang. However, a person's body was limited in how much buff magic could withstand. Applying too many spells would burden the body. Only a strong enough body could handle more buffs.

To put it simply, your health bar and adaptability must be high. If they are not high, you will be killed after a while of BUFF.

Moreover, not all of Dark Soul's enhancement spells come at any cost. Some spells can grant people power beyond human limits, but as a price, these spells will continuously damage the human body while they are in effect.

What Strade wants to see is whether Sun Yang can cast two extremely powerful and dangerous enhancement spells, and then use various spells to fight.

A ball of fire appeared in Sun Yang's hand. He pressed it into his body, and a layer of drifting red mist immediately emerged from his body.

Absorbing flames and activating one's inner potential can temporarily increase all attack power (physical and magical attacks) and increase the green bar recovery speed, but will continuously reduce health.

Excessive power will erode one's own vitality. That is why this power is kept secret.

[Spell: Inner Potential] Increases attack power by 50%, increases green bar recovery speed by 20%, and deducts 1% of health per second.

After absorbing the flames, Sun Yang immediately felt a surge of immense power, accompanied by constant pain. For a moment, he felt he could defeat everyone. Although this was an illusion caused by the sudden increase in power, a spell that could directly increase one's strength by half would certainly create such an illusion.

This ancient spell was indeed powerful. No wonder Strider was so cautious about teaching it. Even he, who was willing to spread the magic, would think twice before doing so.

"Next." Strade said loudly.

Sun Yang swung the spiral sword, and his body suddenly emitted a blue light.

It can increase the magic power in the body beyond the limit, but the price is a significant decrease in one's own HP.

[Magic·Liberate Magic] Spell damage +20%, temporary upper limit of own health -20%.

This magic, which can push the magic power in the body beyond its limit, will place a great burden on the body. This is a treasured spell that Andil gave to Sun Yang.

"Hu...Hu..." Although Sun Yang felt a little uncomfortable, he quickly adapted. The two powerful forces tore at his body while bringing him devastating power.

Sun Yang gathered a few dripstones, using their slow regeneration to offset the constant drain of Inner Potential. Speaking of which, the second generation lacked Inner Potential, perhaps because the slow health-draining debuff was considered useless. Players could simply ignore the effect of gathering two dripstones and use it purely as a positive buff. If that were the case, the spell's power would truly be superb.

"As long as these two spells hold up, you can slowly adapt to and practice the other spells." Strade nodded. He watched Sun Yang gesture and aim at the remaining target in front of him.

The surging spherical flame appeared in Sun Yang's hand again, [Spell: Seal the Sun]. This unstable fireball, like an unstable fireball the size of a carriage wheel, represented the most powerful spell in the hands of the sorcerer thrown out from Sun Yang's hand.

The moment it hit the target, a large area of ​​the floor and debris was instantly turned into molten slurry.

This was not over yet. Sun Yang immediately used the [Magic Crystal Soul Gun]. The brilliant white crystal flew out rapidly from the tip of the staff, instantly destroying the set target and shooting through the wall of the training ground at the same time.

Fortunately, there was no one on the other side of the wall, it was just an empty room, otherwise it would have caused a disaster. These walls were protected by magic set by Andil, and even with such protection, Sun Yang was still able to destroy them.

As for the next spell, Sun Yang took it very seriously. He held the spiral sword high in his hand, his eyes focused. A large amount of magic power gathered in his hand, and this magic power quickly transformed into lightning with miraculous power.

"Why does Master Sun Yang behave so strangely when it comes to miracle spells? Master Sun Yang, do you think you are Gwyn?" Strade couldn't help but complain.

"This miracle is inherited from the soul of Gwyn, the Dark Lord. It is not the miracle in the hands of the Sun Warrior of Dolan Gureg. Although both are called the Spear of Sunlight, their origins and powers are very different." Andil said.

"Where did you get the soul of King Wuxin? You didn't... steal the soul of the chosen undead, did you?" Strade glanced and asked softly.

"Before he passed on the fire, I tried to find a way to save the world. After I negotiated with him, I got this miracle." Andil didn't mind explaining these things.

"Hmph... The Gray Fog Core is such a convenient thing, allowing you to travel to the past world at will." After hearing the answer, Strade lost interest and continued to watch Sun Yang's performance.

In an instant, a massive lightning spear, tens of meters long and gleaming with golden light, appeared in Sun Yang's hand. It even bore a passing resemblance to Gwyn of ancient times.

[Sunlight Spear], a miracle developed from the soul of Gwyn, the Dark Lord. Although the Dark Lord has thrown himself into the campfire, the power of his remaining soul remains unparalleled.

Sun Yang threw the Sunlight Spear into the woods outside the mansion. With a violent roar and the sound of a thunderstorm, the woods were blown open to form a huge clearing.

There was nothing there anymore, not trees or grass or anything else. There was only the black, charred earth and a few golden arcs of lightning in the air.

"Well, as a miracle, it is indeed worthy of Gwyn's name." Strade gave a rare compliment.

"The damage is good, so...it's time for the last spell." Andil wrote and drew on the ground with his branches and looked at Sun Yang.

"Are you excited?" Sun Yang asked, turning around.

"Yes, but I don't allow you to use Hyper in the room. You have to ejaculate outside. I will prepare a creature for you to test. If you use it in the house, you will kill my research materials and apprentices." Andil said dryly.

420 A Narrow Negotiation

Outside, a dozen apprentices dragged a massive creature bound by metal chains to a clearing. The creature seemed to realize its fate and struggled to break free from the chains. But the dozen or so apprentices coordinated to drag it to the clearing, hammered nails into the ground, and then scurried away.

"This dark technique is very dangerous. You have to transform the accumulated souls in your body into dark technique bombs and shoot them out. All animals touched by them will be affected by this dark technique." Strade explained to Sun Yang.

[Hyperactivity] is a dark spell with the highest theoretical damage output in the original game. Even now, it has extremely terrifying destructive power.

The dark magic bullets it fired could melt everything on its way just like plasma, and it could fly farther and have higher energy than plasma.

When this dark magic bullet hits a biological unit, it will explode violently (of course, it can also be detonated manually by the caster). The dark magic energy contained in it will instantly transform the life energy in a living organism into dark magic.
