Chapter 61: Return to The Mysterious Space
[Rose: Here, this is a simple fourth-tier holy spell, Universal Light. You just need to infuse it with some regular energy to activate it. Using dark energy is fine too.]
At the Eastern Node, Charles finally let out a laugh as he looked at the scroll in his hand.
Damn it, asking him to fight was one thing, but making him use a holy spell to dispel death energy was really pushing it.
Oh Rose, you truly are my Doraemon.
But... why can dark energy also activate it?
Although Charles was somewhat puzzled, he decided to use the magic Catherine had previously researched.
He had no choice, he couldn't just ask others for help, so he had to seriously use the continent's energy system to activate it.
Fortunately, this time there were no unexpected issues. The power of light gradually eradicated the death energy step by step.
In the end, aside from the endlessly emerging monsters, there was no trace of death energy left.
It was all finally over.
Charles leaned slightly against a tree. While he wasn't physically exhausted, he felt mentally drained.
In the end, he used his Observer privileges to take a look at Eve's situation. Seeing that the number of monsters there had been significantly reduced, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Heh, I think it's really over this time." Charles muttered to himself, buying some alcohol with skull coins on the Global Channel.
Gulp, gulp...
He didn't like drinking because ever since he reached the sixth tier, ordinary mortal alcohol tasted bland, and he couldn't afford the special energy-infused alcohol.
So, while he could still taste it, he might as well indulge a bit...
...
Two days later, everything regarding the Land of the Dead was wrapped up, and the cracks at the six nodes had all disappeared.
When Charles returned to the Zerg hive, the three women had been waiting at the entrance for a long time.
"Master, now we have ample time to explore that unknown territory. I believe we'll soon understand what that Mysterious Space is all about." Medusa said, bowing slightly with a tone full of anticipation.
After battling bugs for so long, they finally had a chance to see that place.
The master had mentioned before that the Royal Corpse appeared at the eastern node, but it was originally in that Mysterious Space.
As powerful beings, everyone was curious about that place.
Seeing this, Charles smiled, "Looks like you've already prepared the Zerg army. This time, we're setting out with the ambition to conquer the world."
He didn't know how vast that space was, but it was filled with a large number of undead creatures—undead creatures that could be killed with physical attacks.
If it really was an endless supply, Charles thought they could set up a Zerg sub-hive there. After all, the undead bodies contained something called soul fire.
This substance could both activate the Zerg's spirituality, increasing the chance of hero seeds emerging within the swarm, and serve as a good energy source.
Who said the undead couldn't be utilized?
The Zerg were known as a scourge, and if Charles was pushed to the limit, he could raise another Zerg army even by gnawing on tree bark!
Upon hearing her master, Catherine nodded and said, "Yes, Master. We've organized the Zerg army for your review."
She handed Charles a piece of animal hide that recorded the Zerg units participating in the battle or staying behind.
The participating forces included four species: Toxic Banelings, Xenomorphs, Serpents, and Blade Bugs, with five hundred of each species.
In other words, for this conquest of The Mysterious Space, they were only taking a portion of their elite forces.
As for the ones left behind, there were plenty. The Zerg now were nothing like in the beginning when producing zerglings required careful consideration of the cost-effectiveness of drones.
Thanks to Charles's terrifyingly efficient multi-channel resource acquisition, the Zerg had nearly unlocked all basic units.
Catherine had arranged the gene sequences early at the armory, and the Queen's clone was there rapidly programming.
Looking at the units listed, Charles nodded with satisfaction. The only thing lacking was a professional tank unit.
This wasn't Catherine's fault, it was a limitation of the gene pool. Choosing to bring Blade Bugs as sacrificial units was an excellent decision.
The current Blade Bugs were generally third-tier entities, making their combat strength quite formidable.
"Alright, if that's the case, we can set off now." Charles said, nodding as he patted Little Green's head and led the army out.
After this exploration, Charles would be able to wait calmly for a year until the barriers between the real world and the Continent of Overlord completely shattered, allowing them to go home for a visit.
During this year, Charles would gather all the high-end resources in the Serene Forest, then put any unused high-end resources on the market.
This would actually accelerate the development speed of the regional Overlord, as he didn't need those valuable skills—just the raw materials.
On the way, Little Green sat quietly in Charles's lap, occasionally licking his earlobe with her tiny tongue.
Catherine watched enviously, wishing she could do the same.
Medusa was more direct. She grabbed Little Green by the scruff of her neck with one hand and tossed her to Catherine. Then, Medusa climbed into Charles's lap herself, continuing their deep kiss.
"Mm... Master...." Medusa murmured, her face flushed as Charles played with her slender waist, full of teasing reproach.
Her sensitive spot was her waist, something Charles had quickly discovered after a few intimate encounters.
So, whenever she used her nimble snake-like tongue to try and outdo him in kissing, he would mischievously knead her waist.
"Alright, alright, my little naughty slave. I know you want Master to punish you thoroughly. Once we return from this expedition, we'll have time to research those torture devices from your previous domain." Charles said with a wicked grin, whispering softly into Medusa's ear.
Medusa's eyes were filled with anticipation.
She was well aware of how debauched the Dark Serpent clan was. Even as their Queen, Medusa often wondered why such a depraved race hadn't gone extinct.
Those training tools were imbued with extraordinary properties!
Now, just thinking about those extreme torture devices being used on her made Medusa feel an overwhelming sense of pleasure.
Hmm, Catherine wouldn't escape either, and in a few years, even Little Green would be expected to participate.
"Alright, you've had your turn. Let me love our master too." Catherine said, tossing Little Green aside and pulling Medusa away to plant a deep kiss on Charles.
Charles had no choice but to indulge his little slaves once again.
Fortunately, the Overlord's body not only increased in length but also had significant endurance, so satisfying five Medusas at once wouldn't be a problem.
Thus, when Medusa and Catherine joined together, both women would be fucked rolling their eyes and twitching uncontrollably.
After a bit of affectionate play, they arrived at the node.
It was the same entrance, and whatever was inside seemed unable to come out.
After a moment's thought, Charles stepped inside, disappearing instantly.
The women exchanged glances before following him in together, along with the endless Zerg swarm.
The world spun around them, and Charles, along with the two women, felt an overwhelming urge to vomit.
Charles looked a bit bewildered at Medusa, who seemed unaffected. "Why don't you get nauseous? It was the same last time." He asked, somewhat exasperated.
Medusa chuckled helplessly and said, "This strange place isn't the Continent of Overlord. That mysterious entrance reminds me of spatial artifacts, and I can't think of anything else it could be."
"And as for spatial artifacts, I'm unaffected even by the mightiest ones like portals."
"No secret, really. When I was young, Yggdrasil and I loved to play outside the Serpent Empire, using spatial artifacts so frequently that I became immune to the side effects."
When speaking about those times, Medusa's eyes held a hint of nostalgia.
She had many royal sisters, but Yggdrasil was her only full-blooded sibling.
Later, she shook her head with a bitter smile.
Forgetting Yggdrasil for a moment, her own actions had already set them on a path of no return.
Looking back, the happy times they had shared as royal sisters were indeed memorable.
Charles gave Medusa a deep look. His female slave had quite a story, but who didn't?
His eyes were filled with determination.
Only by elevating his power to a level where he could achieve anything he desired would he be able to...
Perhaps only then could he truly find fulfillment for everyone.
"Alright, let's take a short break. In a moment, the three of you will come with me to explore the deepest part of this ancient structure to see if there's any more information." Charles said, casting aside his fleeting thoughts and facing reality.
The group nodded slightly. After a few minutes, the three women were in peak condition.
"Master, let's go. I'm quite interested in the history of this place." Catherine said with a smile.
"Yes, yes! Little Green loves learning the most!" Little Green clapped her hands joyfully, looking like a pure-hearted fun-seeker.
Charles didn't say much more and led them into the passage.
The Royal Corpse wasn't lurking here, was it because the last one had been killed?
Charles shook his head slightly, feeling that his hallucinations were becoming more frequent recently.
Was he too exhausted?
