After the incandescent white light faded.
The Gate of the Dead in Resurrection Square remained intact.
Sia Palenque Eggers had barely begun to relax when her body suddenly toppled backward against her will.
The Feathered Serpent looked back and discovered that, at some unknown point, an enormous coffin formed from dense grayish-white aura had appeared behind her.
"Death Coffin"!
The Pale Empress's trump card consisted of two parts.
One was Artificial Death.
The other was the empress herself.
Using the Gate of the Dead to summon and harness a portion of Artificial Death.
That was Sia Palenque Eggers's complete trump card.
To destroy that trump card.
All it took was to destroy either the Gate of the Dead or the Pale Empress.
Thus, while attacking the Gate of the Dead, Sifa had already used Death's Scepter to unleash Death Coffin on the empress.
In the Death pathway.
Those of higher rank exerted immense suppression over those below them.
Compared with Beyonders or angels of other pathways.
Beyonders and angels of the Death pathway found it even harder to resist Death Coffin.
Just like Sia Palenque Eggers, who was already on the verge of being dragged into the coffin.
At that moment.
Sia Palenque Eggers made a difficult decision.
She immediately put it into action.
Through her connection to the Gate of the Dead.
She transferred the "rift" used to summon Artificial Death from the Gate of the Dead to herself.
Into her own small underworld.
She would let Artificial Death's power pass through her small underworld and act directly upon her, harnessing it directly!
The consequence of doing so was.
Without the Gate of the Dead to "filter" it, she would be directly corrupted by Artificial Death.
But she was a Sequence 1 Pale Emperor and could endure that corruption
