Arc 24Alcmene and the Death Knight
Fang Cheng and his allies defeated Alcmene, uncovered the system’s upgraded features, and prepared for the Death Knight’s arrival. Their battle with Death and the summoned Death Angel ended with the group heading to southeast Hokkaido after Mother’s Right Arm and the Proofs.
- Oni Yunjie and Fang Cheng battled Alcmene as she overwhelmed the Iron-Cast Palace with insects and spider webs, and Fang Cheng ultimately killed her after Oni Yunjie disrupted her underground plan.
- Fang Cheng reassured Oni Yunjie that she had helped save the world, gave her Alcmene’s Proof, and helped secure Ibuki City while the survivors gathered the battlefield dead.
- Fang Cheng’s system upgraded, granting him Skill Trees and new functions, while Oni Yunjie and Ibaraki-doji considered the Iron-Cast Palace’s future and its alliance with Fang Cheng.
- Fang Cheng learned that Tamamo-no-Mae, Ibaraki-doji, and Ugou Mirai intended to confront the Death Knight, then discovered that Death had arrived outside the Iron-Cast Palace.
- Fang Cheng drew Death away from Ibuki City and fought him with Ugou Mirai, Tamamo-no-Mae, Ibaraki-doji, Li Yu, Tsukimi Mei, and Izanae, while Death’s power rose to match his.
- Death summoned the Death Angel, which grew to level 145 and opened the Heavenly Gate, and Kanzaki Rin helped Fang Cheng recover, and the angel’s self-destruction killed Li Yu and Kanzaki Rin before both revived.
- Tsukimi Mei told Fang Cheng that Mother’s Right Arm and the Proofs had gone southeast, so the group flew toward southeast Hokkaido and stared in shock at what awaited them.
