I, the undead, save the world with the dolls

"Okay, Andil no longer knows what we did or what conversation we had." After Strade finished casting the spell, he looked at Sun Yang.

"What did you just do?" The original game doesn't seem to have this spell.

"The concealing spell I developed myself is not something powerful." After saying this, Strade took out the terminal from his pocket and started typing.

Well, Strider did a pretty good job of counterintelligence.

You don't look... tired. You've been out for several days, and the hunting situation... huh? You have too many souls, too? Almost two or three of your past selves.

When Strade saw Sun Yang emerging from the campfire, he looked him up and down in surprise, then took off his iron mask and rubbed his eyes.

"Come on, Brother Strade, you've defeated the Giant King, right? My base has a lot of powerful firepower. How about I give you some so we can quickly defeat the Giant King together?" Sun Yang put his arm around Strade's shoulders.

[So you're going to hunt souls in large numbers. Using all means to become stronger is the right thing to do. And—] Strade pushed Sun Yang's hand away.

"Don't be so disrespectful, Master Sun Yang... Unfortunately, there's no point in gaining more souls now. My body has reached its limit, and any more souls would be wasted. You're offering your help so enthusiastically, is there something you need from me?" Strider lowered Sun Yang's arm.

I thought everyone could be the top salary player with a 99 rating... So, different people have different ceilings? I'm so thankful to be a top salary player. Sun Yang sighed inwardly.

[This is about Rukatiye. I want to know if her curse can be removed. After all, there are two great wizards here. If you can't solve it, I'll let her know now. A short pain is worse than a long one.] Sun Yang typed.

"Well, this is quite important. Don't worry, I've already made the antidote. I just made it." Strider pulled a small, knobby piece of wood from his pocket. Sun could sense the special magical power within it.

"But I still have to remind you, Master Sun Yang. Young warriors are always full of passion, eager to fight, and hoping to gain honor. I can't guarantee how Rukatie's attitude towards you will change after the curse is lifted."

Strade touched the small piece of wood and warned Sun Yang.

[Admittedly, although she is immature and still has a lot of room for growth, I can see that she is an excellent fighter. I also understand that Master Sun Yang, you recruited her for the purpose of gathering combat power.]

"Why don't you change your habit of saying long, complex sentences? Can you just speak your mind? Do you think you're Humphrey?" Sun Yang scratched his ears.

[Who then... Well, my point is simple. Eliminating the cursed Rukatiye might change the attitude towards you and the entire base, which could have negative consequences. I don't know what will happen after this. So please be prepared. And it might not be good for her either.] Strade wrote a series of words.

Go ahead and do it. This problem will be solved sooner or later. If she doesn't want to join me, I'll send her back to this world. Her condition will affect the subsequent battles, and I don't want to take advantage of her. I'll send a message to the resting T-dolls. If she goes crazy, they'll immediately intervene to stop her.

Of course, it doesn't matter if the humanoids take advantage, they all seem quite happy about it. Sun Yang added in his mind.

"Your will, Master Sun Yang. Also, my magical research has concluded, and my Soul Torrent has been refined. I can teach you later. Now, I'm going to say goodbye to Andil and prepare to return to the main base. Please be extremely careful with Andil. Even if you have to urgently teleport to another world to wait for our contact, it's better than being captured by it..." Strade touched his chin at this point. He still felt something was wrong, something bad was going to happen.

"Master Sun Yang, why don't you just throw the information to Andil and leave this world? I'll make up an excuse, and we'll leave quickly and come back together next time. I'll return to base, and you can see if there's anything else you can help with. I think it's best not to stay in this world." Strider still looked very skeptical of Andil. He changed his mind mid-sentence.

[I know Andil is dangerous, but is it really necessary to be so nervous? You really don't have any grudge against it, right?] Sun Yang had no idea why Strider was so nervous.

"Your research into soul magic isn't as thorough as mine. Nor is your understanding of Andil or the great wizards of this world thorough enough. If it so desired, it could imprison you in this mansion right now, exploiting you tooth and nail for millennia... That's why I insisted on coming with you. Master Sun Yang, only by following you can I see countless worlds in the future. Ensuring your safety is in my best interest." Strade added solemnly.

"Okay...Aren't you afraid when you're alone with Andil?" Sun Yang asked, seeing that Strade looked nervous.

"Because I'm pretending to be able to communicate with you. If I lose the signal, you'll undoubtedly become suspicious and terminate our cooperation. To it, you're more important than me. And if we act together, Andil won't act rashly. Master Sun Yang, you haven't witnessed the despicable and vicious nature of the so-called great mages. Many of them turn around and harm their colleagues. This is the survival experience I've accumulated over the years," Strade replied.

[Then you will give him these materials?] Sun Yang took out the previously packaged documents.

"Let me go, I'll explain the situation to him. When I get back, remember to move immediately." Strade said this and left. A few minutes later, Strade returned.

"Our mission is urgent, Master Sun Yang, please be sure to support me." Strade seemed to have found a suitable excuse. His expression was very serious, and he quickly put his hand on Sun Yang's wrist.

Sun Yang immediately moved Strider away and teleported himself to another campfire location. He thought about it and decided not to teleport to Andil's mansion, as he was a little hesitant.

In the end, Sun Yang found a random location to teleport to. He ran to a place some distance away from the campfire, then waved the spiral sword. After a feeling like a flush toilet, he teleported himself to the end of the United States world where infrastructure was being built.

He greeted the humanoids here and found a place with a bed to lie down, quietly waiting for Strider to finish removing the curse and for K5 to adjust to his new body.

425 Rukatiye's Curse Removal

Breathing the cool air into his lungs, Sun Yang walked to the outskirts of Houston. This place was completely different from what it had been a few days ago.

The wreckage and buildings that had once stretched out had been blown down by the engineering team. The team's intelligent bodies, wearing engineering power suits and carrying heavy-duty cutters, rushed forward, cutting and pulverizing the reinforced concrete building materials.

Countless drones flew around these agents, each carrying baskets of rubble. The agents hooked them to the drones, which then carried the small pieces away. The larger pieces were then loaded onto transport trucks and taken to a temporary camp several kilometers away.

Hundreds of intelligent bodies work day and night to transport these construction materials back to the temporary camp and put them into the decomposition machine. After being carefully processed by the decomposition machine, these materials will become neatly planned new materials.

Like ants dismembering a giant's corpse, the intelligent entities and a large number of drones gnawed away at the dead city bit by bit, drawing nourishment from the corpse and constructing a brand new industrial base.

By then, the main base wouldn't have to worry about lack of land; even automated breeding and industrial bases could be built directly on the ruins of the city. All the main base needed to do was develop the corresponding scientific research technology.

The reason we didn't develop this world before was mainly due to insufficient technological capabilities. Now, it's much easier to develop it. At least the base now has no shortage of explosives, and the accumulated supplies are enough to form a positive cycle in this world.

At the current rate, perhaps one or two years would be enough to flatten the entire city of Houston and build a small integrated industrial base.

"A base built on the site of an entire city can only be considered a small comprehensive industrial base. However, after all, in the future, this place will have to produce all the materials needed for the base. Anything smaller would be too complex and life-threatening."

Sun Yang grumbled as he wandered through the ruins of the city. He had nothing better to do, so he volunteered to take on some demolition tasks. He found his assigned location, which was quite far from the humanoid base.

People weren't worried about anyone in this world harming the Commander, so they let him roam free. They stayed away, primarily fearing that Sun Yang's lightning miracles would destroy all the surrounding intelligent Iron-Blooded Golems. While the principles behind them were completely unclear, lightning miracles could indeed inflict significant damage to humanoids.

Sun Yang walked to a residential area, found a good angle to use his miracle, and took out the spiral sword.

Zila! A spear of sunlight dozens of meters long blossomed in his hand. Although Sun Yang always felt that this special effect was a bit too exaggerated, just standing there was like a point of light guiding a cannonball in the darkness, making him an easy target.

He considered shrinking it, but Sun Yang could only create the Sunlight Spear. If he wanted to master changing its size, compressing its mass, or altering its form... he couldn't do it yet. Mastering the art would require considerable practice.

Let's take our time with this, it's a good time to practice. Sun Yang threw the Sunshine Spear, and lightning flashed with sunlight-like light, streaking across the sky and shattering a nearby building.

The lower half of the building was largely shattered, and the outer walls of the upper half were also cracked, with traces of melted debris along the edges. Within seconds, the building collapsed with a violent roar, its structure failing.

Sun Yang kept rolling out more sunlight spears and throwing them at the dangerous buildings.

I don't know if my Sunshine Spear has the properties of both lightning and sunlight. If it does, maybe I can even beat up Kass, who is not in a perfect biological state, in the JOJO world.

But you wouldn't need sunlight to defeat Kaz, would you? Just grab a UV lamp. Oasis Labs has tons of handheld UV lamps, or use plasma weapons, nuclear grenades, or something like that. No creature can withstand that.

I'm kind of looking forward to where the next world will lead me. But before that, I need to sort out everything at the base before setting off, at least to figure out whether I can return to the main base in person.

Beep, beep...Strider sent a call request. Sun Yang quickly put his hand away and answered the call.

"Master Sun Yang, I've already handed over the curse-breaking plank. Security has been secured—by the way, Ms. M4 has taken over my command. Please don't blame me if there are any issues with command." Strider's face appeared in the frame, and he calmly shifted the blame.

Next to him were the AR team and the Rebellious team, who were fully armed with power armor and large-caliber machine guns.

A little further away, there was Team 404 holding small energy weapons. HK416 had a complicated expression on his face, while the others looked puzzled.

Next to them were Oasis T-dolls wielding melee weapons. When the power armor missed, Team 404 would provide precise supplemental firepower, while several Oasis T-dolls skilled in melee combat would charge forward to stall for time.

These Oasis T-dolls had acquired a large number of Saturn Fists and Saturn Long Swords, heated to a fiery red. These weapons were effective against anyone, possessing excellent armor-piercing and damage capabilities. They might not necessarily win, but they could certainly inflict damage.

All the humanoids stared nervously at a dormitory door. Strade handed over the sign and said something before rushing out. Strade didn't want to engage in close combat with Rukatiye; he would surely die.

[Hey! I feel much better! Why are there so many signals outside? What are you guys doing?] Rukatiye opened the door from the inside, saw the scene, and immediately closed the door. The next second, Sun Yang received Rukatiye's communication request.

[Sun Yang! Sun Yang! All your robots have gone crazy! Strider has also sneaked in! He's a traitor! Summon them away quickly! I can't defeat so many humanoids!] Rukatiye shouted excitedly at Sun Yang, his head covered in sweat.

"I told you, that's to prevent you from going berserk. How are you feeling now? Are you nauseous, have a headache, or are you obsessed with Master Sun Yang?" Strade said slowly, like a doctor examining a patient.

[I think I hear the sound of the humanoid outside charging its weapon. Is it my imagination? Is there some kind of trap waiting for me with this question?] Rukatiye listened attentively.

"The weapon isn't charged," M4's voice came from beside Strade. She opened the hatch of her helmet and looked expressionlessly between Strade and the dormitory door. "There's no trap."

"My head doesn't hurt, and I'm not going to be scared by what you're doing, am I? No, after I lifted the curse, my body doesn't ache, and my head isn't dizzy anymore. Shouldn't this be a happy ending for you all? Why are you all acting like you're about to die? Ah! I think I understand!" Rukatiye wiped the sweat from his head and slapped his head.

"Sun Yang, let's pick a time to go hunting together?" Rukatiye blinked at the camera.

[Is that really the case?] [I knew it!] [You're not allowed to get ahead of me!] The M4, AR15, and HK416 seemed to be complaining.

They were immediately stopped by the figures around them.

"Calm down, M4, 15. You all know this is going to happen sooner or later. And you agree the moment 416 comes over and says something, and then you're ready to break down the door the next time someone says something here. Don't be so different in your attitude." Gouzi quickly stopped the two possessive individuals. Team 404 also tried to calm 416 down.

K5, who was passing by, saw this situation, wiped the sweat from his head, and quietly slipped away.

"Can't we just be good sisters?" Rukatiye said from inside.

[I'm not used to having a human follow me into bed.] M4 sighed.

"Why are you so annoying? I'm strong, stronger than many humanoids. My recovery and endurance are on par with elite humanoids. I'm fully qualified to be a member of your elite harem." Rukatiye opened the door and faced M4 head-on.

"Because I'm worried about whether your feelings can remain consistent, I can still miss Yang's O-fluid until my mind dies." M4 said sincerely.

"Do you really have to show off your low standards in a place like this? I think I'm fine. I can hold on. If I really can't hold on, just throw me into the desert. I'm sure I can survive. By then, Sun Yang won't try to stop me. I know what his temper is like." Rukatiye said this with an open mind.

Sun Yang shrugged and did not deny it.

[If that's the case... I agree.] M4, as the opinion leader of the humanoids, finally gave in after hearing this.

[I was ready for a fight, but it seems there's no problem...] Strade put away his staff. He had just planned to use force to subdue people, dismantle the runaway dolls, and let everyone separate and calm down.

After he saw that the situation had calmed down, he shouted and left. However, the surrounding figures stayed - mainly to eat the melon.

"Let's be less aggressive. There's no need to make the atmosphere so stiff." Seeing that the situation had eased a little, Sun Yang quickly jumped in to smooth things over.

I have to get back to the main base quickly. I can't delay any longer. If I don't go back, it will explode.

[Does Yang really still like meat people?] M4 added to the voice channel.

[M4, is it possible... that most humans just like flesh-men... that synthetic humanoid bodies would be beneficial to our sexual lives? But Ayang is technically still a virgin? Does using a synthetic body count as losing his virginity?] 15 said, stroking his chin.

"Don't define it randomly. To be honest, your bodies are indeed very challenging to my body. And you have a nuclear fusion power core hanging in your body!" Sun Yang shouted.

"Well, how about we go have a few drinks and get to know each other better? Or have a girls' get-together or something? You should learn more about otherworldly culture and cultivate your sentiments." Rukatiye suggested, then put his arm around HK416's power armored shoulders.

[This person doesn't look familiar to me. How about changing into a synthetic body and going to someone's dorm to get some whiskey?]

"After you removed the curse, you seem like a different person... Weren't you quite serious before?" HK416 was somewhat baffled by her change of attitude.

It was my old environment that forced me to view the world with a serious and pessimistic outlook. This base... I've never felt so good in my life. Without the Miller Knights' instructors watching over me, I'd quickly become degenerate. Sun Yang! When you return, we sisters will surely welcome you with joy!

Rukatiye said this last time, and then he left in a lively manner with a group of humanoids who were already scheduled to have sex with Sun Yang. Perhaps only humans can achieve such a flexible bottom line.

Rukatiye was a good girl, beautiful and loyal. Perhaps it was because she'd been exposed to so much modern information, but she seemed to have become a bit more tactful. At least, she used to be incapable of gathering the dolls for drinks, but now... she should be able to fit in.

Sun Yang waved to the humanoids and closed the window. However, not long after he closed it, he received a communication request from K5.

"My Lord, it seems the humanoids at the base are frantic due to your absence. Therefore, we've sped up the process and will be ready in a few hours. Please prepare yourself as well," K5 said.

"Okay, I'll be ready." Sun Yang nodded and agreed.

426 The Commander's Return (Part )

[My Lord, I am about to begin.] K5 changed into a clean robe and sat in the center of her dormitory.

She held a Taoist whisk in her hand, and beside her was a burning sandalwood incense, said to enhance her magical powers. Around the room were bronze Buddha statues, Guanyin Bodhisattva, a statue of Guan Erye, an iron cross, a strange jade pendant, and an Aztec sacrificial knife that had been delivered from a South American tourist attraction.

Hmm... highlighting globalization. I feel like I'll lose if I complain here... Anyway, these are just props to set the mood.

Sun Yang watched K5 close his eyes, and he slowly closed his own eyes, trying to feel the connection beyond dimensions with his heart.

Then he saw a faint flame light up in the darkness. The flame was so weak that it looked like it would be swallowed by the darkness at any moment.

Lead me there, K5! Sun Yang transformed the Spiral Sword and sheathed it around his wrist, pulled out the World Teleporter, and loaded the Campfire Explorer. He poured a large amount of his mana into it, and the teleporter flashed with a dazzling light.

Whoosh! A burst of blue-purple electric sparks flashed across the spot, and Sun Yang's figure disappeared.

"Commander! Your new mission! Commander?" MDR, approaching with the intention of slacking off and running errands, couldn't get through on the phone or find a signal. She walked over and looked for a long time but couldn't see anyone. "That's strange! Where did he go?"

***

It was a strange feeling, how should I put it... For the first time, Sun Yang maintained a clear mind during the transmission. Although at the beginning of the transmission, he had another unpleasant feeling of being flushed down a toilet.

He could clearly feel himself being attracted and flying over. Although the suction force was not strong, it was guiding him over little by little.

During the teleportation process, Sun Yang could not see or feel anything with his five senses, but as an immortal, his exploration of the soul was still effective.

Relying on this ability to detect, Sun Yang looked around. The world he had just left was almost completely silent, with only a few faint flickering soul lights.

In other directions, there were worlds with immense, scorching souls, and worlds radiating endless energy. Sun Yang couldn't interpret them, but simply drew himself toward his target. Then, he saw the target drawing him.

At the coordinates indicated by K5, there was a world protected by a dense, heavy soul shell. That shell emanated a familiar, warm glow, like a warm flame, making Sun Yang unconsciously want to close his eyes. He relaxed, merging into the shell.

Welcome back, Sun Yang. Someone in the body spoke to him.

"Who are you?" Although Sun Yang was very sleepy, he still asked reluctantly.

I am the fire that protects this world, and I am always waiting for your return.

"So you are my big brother? You have been protecting this base? The last time I died from radiation, you were the one who was looking for me to talk, right?" Sun Yang struggled to wake up.

I am the protective fire formed by your subconscious mind. In your subconscious mind, you desire to protect the humanoids, hoping that no humanoids will die as a result. I will comply with your wishes and protect all humanoids.

Sun Yang, this vast soul is enough to protect this base for millennia. It's fine if you wish to reclaim this power, but you are still somewhat weak, and the immense power of your soul would tear your body apart. Please become stronger so I can return to your body. Your soul longs to be one, and the humanoids need you to protect and command them.

"Subconscious? It's really metaphysical, but at least this barrier won't block me, which is good." Sun Yang nodded, and then he noticed that the spiral sword on his wrist suddenly lit up with a ball of fire, and the unknown magical power attached to it was instantly burned.

Detecting the activation of the spying power, kill. Sun Yang's subconscious mind issued the order without mercy.
