GBP Chapter 306: Life and Death
Chapter 306: Life and Death
The land where the Demon Lord once trod was filthy and black, with rotting soil from which twisted skeletons crawled out, and rotten tree trunks from which strange undead emerged.
At the edge of a molten lava pool, a corner of a clod of earth turned outwards, from which a withered, dying hand emerged.
The first thing Muban did after crawling out of the ground was to gasp for air. Although it was filled with stench and filth, at least he could survive, which was better than being buried underground forever.
"Damn monsters, not a single one of them is any good! They're all ungrateful bastards, I'll wipe them all out sooner or later!"
Covered in mud, Muban sat down on the ground, exhausted, trying to catch his breath and regain his strength, while thinking about how to take revenge on Maga Serpent.
The death aura emanating from Muban was completely absorbed by the Maga Serpent. He was now in grave danger even in the Death Realm. The resurrected undead would no longer obey his commands; they were like lowly monsters who only knew how to abuse violence to please him.
Dodging those strange undead along the way, Muban knew their habits since he had summoned them before. He bypassed them and continued onward, not wanting to waste his remaining magic on those trash.
"If I didn't know earth-遁 (earth-遁 is a type of magic that allows one to escape from the earth), I would have really been defeated here."
"Maggi Orochi has gone mad. It will definitely want to destroy the world just like Giganchimera. And Zeta hasn't arrived yet, so there's no way to stop it now."
The roar of the Demon Lord echoed from the horizon. Mu Ban knew that he didn't have much time left. If he wanted to stop the Demon King monster before it destroyed the world, he needed to have the power to fight against both the life force and the death force at the same time.
Looking at the summoning platform stone next to the ruins, Muban felt a pang of regret at Zeta's disappearance, but the feeling was fleeting. Muban kicked the stone away and continued on his way.
Zeta is a good person, but it got in my way. If it had been as obedient as everyone else, there wouldn't have been so much trouble, and it wouldn't have ended up being blown to bits.
Muban forced his will into action. He had almost nothing—his career, reputation, power, wealth, even his family—and he had no choice but to keep moving forward.
We must move forward, at all costs, even if it means sacrifice, even if it means sacrificing the whole world!
"The Maga Serpent mutated after consuming the aura of death, and it can no longer consume elemental energy. This is my chance."
"The remains of the phantom beast are still there, it must still be there! It must be!"
"Isn't it connected to the world's magic? As long as the magic exists, it can't disappear... Impossible."
With a heart full of fear, Muban arrived at the high platform where he once stood at the pinnacle of his power, where legendary mythical beasts became his prisoners and countless otherworldly beings became his tools.
The remains of the phantom beast must still be there; they are the last thing Muban has to deal with Maga Serpent, otherwise the world will truly be destroyed by Maga Serpent.
Muban needs to maintain his confidence, otherwise he is nothing in his current situation.
You must have confidence in your own strength, otherwise how can you conquer the world? Muban will not accept the reality that he is about to lose everything.
"Get out here, you bastard! If you don't want the world to be destroyed, then you're mine to use!"
Muban arrived at the spot where the phantom beast had been imprisoned and used his few remaining spells to reactivate the magic circle.
The massive energy reaction blew away the surrounding rubble and debris, and white light shone on the entire ruins.
"Hahaha, here it comes! My final weapon, the legendary phantom beast, you truly are only meant to be used by me!"

"Damn, that's disgusting."
Mu Ban's wild shouts disgusted Luo Yi and Xing Lu, and they wanted to throw Mu Ban into the lava pool right now.
"Let's just take him out."
"No, we have to wait until Muban is most looking forward to it and most eager for it, then we'll take away all that he has."
The undead around the ruins were all attracted, but the magic of the world's elements dispelled them and prevented them from getting any closer.
The Mage Guild and the Lightstone Warriors were busy dealing with the Death Domain and Life Abilities, while Haruki and Belial Twilight were focused on dealing with the Demon Abyss Overlord. No outsiders disturbed Muban's entire process.
Looking at the renovated ruins, the magic array was still functioning without damage, and the remains of the phantom monster were intact, so ordinary collapses and destruction wouldn't hurt her much.
"That's it! That's it! I'm going to use the body and power of the phantom monster to create the most powerful creature in the world!"
"It will only obey my commands and become my most loyal servant! I will ride it to destroy the Maga Serpent and once again become the savior of the world!"
The specially designed magic array that had been set up earlier started operating under Muban's control, and familiar halos filled the area around the ruins.
The life force flowed in reverse, completely dissecting the remains of the phantom monster, breaking them down layer by layer into fragments of life, leaving only piles of data with no flesh or blood.
The technology he acquired from the otherworldly beings allowed Muban to make rapid progress in his mastery of magic arrays. He could transform concrete things into abstract data, and then combine the data according to his own will, filling it into a model that met the requirements of the command.
Driven by the anti-life aura, the body data of the phantom monster spun endlessly, and Muban could feel the supernatural power contained within each data point.
Now, this data power is as towering as a mountain in Muban's eyes. With this power, he no longer needs to fear anything.
"Come, come, become what I desire most! My servant, a super monster that will absolutely obey me without resistance, no, a super-dimensional monster!"
"You will fulfill my lifelong dream. I will rise to the top of the world and wipe out all those who betrayed and doubted me."
Muban circled around the data power before him, his eyes fixed on the flying fragments of the phantom beast, eagerly anticipating how they would combine to form his most prized creation.
Wealth and glory seem to be right before my eyes, and the pinnacle of the world is within reach. As long as I can control this super-dimensional monster, whether it's Ultraman or Maga Orochi, they will all be devoured!
The power of data is growing faster and faster. The rate at which the fragments of the mythical beasts are decreasing is faster than expected. The mountain of data is absorbed by more than half in just a few seconds.
The reorganization went by so smoothly, without a single hiccup...
Strange, why didn't I feel any power surge after consuming so much data?
Where did all those monster fragments go?!
Muban turned around abruptly, looking in the direction the data power had drifted. What he saw was not the monster he most desired, but Luo Yi himself, who terrified him the most.
"You...you weren't dead? How come you're alive again!"
"Yes, I am dead, but I don't accept death. If I want to, life and death are just a matter of a single thought."
"Unlike some guy who profaned death and suffered the backlash, howling and screaming but being beaten to tears by the monster he created. In the end, he only survived until now by hiding in the stinking mud."
Luo Yi's voice was ethereal and imbued with a magical power, each reverberation triggering a response from the fragments of the magical beast.
The power of data surged into Luo Yi's body, responding to Xinglu's call. Now is the moment of rebirth to witness the ending.
"You bastard, you're like a bedbug that won't die! Give my things back!"
Enraged, Muban's fists surged with fury as he charged at Luo Yi, letting anger control his mind. Muban didn't want to fail; he couldn't accept defeat. Once he saw his true self, Muban could no longer hold on.
Deceiving yourself is one tactic, but any lie has the potential to be exposed.
Luo Yi is here to turn this possibility into an absolute one!
With a single flick of his finger, Muban was slammed to the ground, unable to move. Half of his body was embedded in the ground, and he felt as if he was about to be crushed.
All of Luo Yi's power from these countless leaping phantom beasts could be used by him. Xinglu gave him equal rights with her, and she believed that Luo Yi knew what he wanted to do.
Once the pressure on Muban was removed, Luo Yi had absorbed all the data power, and the phantom beast was resurrected in human form, becoming the existence that Muban feared and did not want to see the most.
Muban knew that, given Luo Yi's personality, he wouldn't kill him directly; he had more terrifying means than death to destroy everything.
