Electrolux: Do You Understand Necromancy, or Do I?

Electrolux's divine sense instantly coalesced as he asked in a deep voice:

"A trade? What kind of trade? I am now nothing more than a wisp of a remnant soul, not even a complete divine consciousness. What could I possibly possess that would catch the eye of a powerhouse as unfathomable as you?"

He could clearly perceive that the strength of the young man before him was bottomless.

His own ability to regain consciousness so quickly was undoubtedly due to the other party's assistance.

If this person intended him harm, there would be no need for idle chatter; a mere wave of a hand would be enough to completely erase his divine sense.

Hearing this, Zhao Ze waved a hand:

"Rest assured, I have no ulterior motives regarding your remnant soul.

What I want is simple: I can help you repair your shattered divine sense. Even rebirth is not entirely impossible."

At these words, Electrolux's divine sense trembled violently!

He had assumed that being able to linger on in this strange sea of spirit was already a stroke of immense fortune, never daring to dream of a chance to truly live again.

Even he, the Scourge of the Undead who had once stirred up an entire plane, could not help but feel his heart surge, his voice carrying a trace of imperceptible fluctuation:

"What you say... is it true? My divine sense has long been shattered; resurrection is nearly impossible."

"I never speak empty words. As long as we can become gods in the future, I believe gathering your divine sense fragments will not be a difficult task."

Zhao Ze raised an eyebrow, revealing a confident smile.

After hearing this, Electrolux only said helplessly:

"Becoming a god is not that simple."

Zhao Ze's smile remained unchanged:

"Haha, we have the confidence to achieve it. So, what is your choice?"

Electrolux could only offer a bitter smile:

"What other choice do I have? I am currently reduced to this lingering fragment of divine sense; I have no choice but to trust you."

Zhao Ze nodded and snapped his fingers:

"Very well, the deal is struck.

What you need to do next is to leave behind your Necromancy, as well as your lifelong combat experience, knowledge, and insights, and display them all for us."

Electrolux was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized, looking at Zhao Ze:

"Oh? You actually know that I practice Necromancy?

But the problem is, the plane rules of the Douluo Continent may be completely different from those of the Holy Demon Continent.

Can Necromancy really be used here?"

"Absolutely."

Having read the original work, Zhao Ze leaned back on the soft couch and answered without a moment's hesitation.

Electrolux immediately scoffed, his tone carrying a hint of arrogance:

"You haven't even tried it, so how can you be so sure?

Do you understand Necromancy, or do I?

This art involves many factors; it cannot be activated at will simply by having strong spiritual power."

"Don't believe me? Then you can try it right now."

Zhao Ze lifted his chin and turned to look at Huo Yuhao, who was standing to the side with a curious expression.

"Yuhao, once you exit the sea of spirit, find a secluded spot where no one is around, and we'll test it on the spot."

Huo Yuhao nodded vigorously.

Although he had no idea what Necromancy actually was, just hearing the title "Scourge of the Undead" and feeling the world-dominating aura emanating from Electrolux told him that this was definitely a top-tier skill!

Thinking that he would soon witness such a peculiar power, the excitement in the young man's heart was impossible to suppress, and he quickly withdrew from the sea of spirit.

Huo Yuhao stood up on tiptoes and lowered his voice to Tang Ya, who was keeping watch nearby:

"Sister Xiaoya, I... I'm going to the woods nearby to relieve myself. I'll be right back."

Hearing this, Tang Ya said with concern:

"Yuhao, don't go too far, okay?"

"Don't worry, I'll just be behind those low bushes over there!"

Huo Yuhao pointed to a patch of dense, low shrubs not far away.

After saying this, he trotted over and ducked inside. Once he confirmed no one was around, he lowered his voice:

"Master, how is this spot? Is it hidden enough?"

"No problem, this will do."

Zhao Ze's voice echoed in his mind.

The next second, a surge of immense spiritual power poured out from Huo Yuhao's body, condensing into a clear figure of a young man before him—it was the exact likeness of Zhao Ze.

Immediately following, a wisp of gray light drifted out from between Huo Yuhao's brows.

Enveloped by Zhao Ze's spiritual power, it transformed into a dark shadow clad in gray robes; it was none other than Electrolux.

"Alright, Electrolux, let's give it a try."

Zhao Ze crossed his arms and stepped aside to make room.

Electrolux nodded, his gaze sweeping across the dense forest in the dead of night, a hint of solemnity flashing in his eyes.

He took a deep breath and began to chant an obscure, ancient incantation, the hoarse syllables echoing through the woods with a strange power that tugged at the soul.

As the incantation concluded, he pointed his finger forward, and pitch-black necromantic energy surged out, instantly tearing open a swirling black vortex in the clearing before him.

From within the vortex came the clicking sound of grinding bones.

Shortly after, a skeleton soldier wielding a rusted long blade stepped out from the black vortex with stiff, mechanical movements.

Two clusters of ghostly blue soul fire flickered in its hollow eye sockets, and a faint aura of the undead radiated from its body as it stood steadily by Electrolux's side.

"What kind of monster is this?!"

Huo Yuhao was startled by the sight, instinctively taking half a step back, staring fixedly at the skeleton soldier with a face full of shock.

"Heh heh, kid, this is my undead creature."

Electrolux smiled triumphantly, and with a flick of his finger, the skeleton soldier immediately sheathed its long blade and knelt respectfully on one knee.

He turned his head with a smile, only to see that Zhao Ze, standing to the side, showed not a trace of surprise, remaining as calm and composed as ever.

The smile on Electrolux's face faded slightly, a flicker of astonishment crossing his eyes as he asked in a deep voice:

"Your Excellency was indeed correct; this Douluo Continent can truly facilitate the use of necromantic magic.

However, I am quite curious—you do not seem surprised in the slightest.

Could it be that you have seen such magic before?"

After all, he had not revealed his abilities at the start, yet Zhao Ze had precisely proposed a deal involving his necromantic magic.

He had even been certain that this power would function on the Douluo Continent, which was far too suspicious.

Zhao Ze crossed his arms and let out a scoff:

"Electrolux, there is no need to probe.

I do indeed know quite a bit about you—the Son of Light, the Scourge of the Undead, a legendary figure from the Holy Demon Continent, is that not so?

If I am not mistaken, what you just used was the most basic necromantic summoning magic, correct?

Summoning a contracted undead creature from your exclusive undead demi-plane."

At these words, Electrolux shuddered.

The young man before him not only knew his past, but even his trump cards were laid bare!

"You... just who exactly are you?"

Electrolux's voice was filled with shock, and his gaze toward Zhao Ze held a newfound sense of awe.

He had lived for hundreds of years and traveled every corner of the Holy Demon Continent, yet he had never encountered someone so unfathomable, as if his very being were transparent to the other.

"That is something you do not need to know. Very well, I have learned this necromantic magic; move on to the next demonstration."

Zhao Ze clapped his hands, his tone as casual as if he had just taken a sip of water.

"What? You say you have learned it?"

Electrolux was instantly stunned, his voice rising in pitch.

"This is necromantic magic! Even a genius with peerless talent would need to study for quite some time just to grasp the basics!

You watched it once, and not only did you learn it, but you also summoned a skeleton knight? How is this possible!"
