Chapter 2369: Chapter 1056: Dueling Across Space

Katherine rudely interrupted the Undead Stone Giant Chieftain. "If it’s merely mundane affairs, I trust you can indeed make the decision.

But if it involves Undead Divine Power, involves Divine Enthronement, are you sure you can decide?"

Before her words could settle, Katherine felt a blur before her eyes, and the surroundings suddenly transformed dramatically.

The council hall was still the same.

Only the hall full of Undead Stone Giant Chieftains had vanished. In their place, at the originally vacant center, appeared an Undead Stone Giant.

His appearance was not much different from the other Undead Stone Giant Chieftains, generally presenting a bluish-gray color, with skin like dried leather tightly clinging to enormous bones, giving him a very gaunt look.

Unlike the upright Undead Stone Giant Chieftains, this one had a slightly hunched figure, even a bit of a stoop.

This indicated that he was transformed to the undead state not in his prime but in elder years.

He wore a robe similar in color to his skin, a simple crown on his head, with eyes shimmering a cold gleam.

Alone, he exerted a pressure on Katherine equal to the sum of all those Undead Stone Giant Chieftains combined.

Undoubtedly, he was the target of Katherine’s journey, the creator and ruler of the Council of Death Chiefs, Great Chieftain of the Undead Stone Giants, Duokong.

She had now been pulled into a consciousness world akin to the True Dream Realm.

The Great Chieftain of the Undead Stone Giants spoke slowly: "So it seems the one causing such great disturbance to the Undead Divine Office is that originally unnoticed little thief?"

From his words, it was clear he sensed the undead war in the Bottomless Abyss.

He was, after all, also a thief of the Undead God Domain, highly sensitive to such matters.

Katherine nodded in acknowledgment: "General Gaven has already occupied most of the Bone Plane with Undead Slaughter Divine Power and established a domain there.

He asked me to deliver a message to the Great Chieftain.

Lying dormant for years yields scarce rewards, yet venturing out, a brief few years prosper grandly.

Especially with Divine Nature Force.

The Great Chieftain is following the same path as the God of Giants, Racial Gods, yet the Divine Nature Force you aim to pursue makes your path exceedingly narrow.

All those Gods of Giants faded with the decline of the giant race.

Let alone, the Great Chieftain hasn’t fully developed in thousands of years.

If only the Great Chieftain desires, General Gaven offers his domain in the Bottomless Abyss open anytime, allowing you to become the Undead God may be unfeasible, but becoming an Undead Demigod should be attainable."

"What is the cost?" The Great Chieftain of the Undead Stone Giants maintained a steady tone.

The greatest disadvantage of Sage Undead is, they can perfectly control their emotions without needing strong self-control, making it impossible for others to detect any inner emotional changes.

If you do notice, it shouldn’t bring joy, but concern, as this might be a deliberate deception to entrap you.

"The cost requires the Great Chieftain to send troops to assist us in unifying the Giant Plains, completely eradicate the Beast Demon Tribe, and further venture to the Bottomless Abyss for enthronement." Katherine was convinced of this offer’s allure to the Great Chieftain.

After all, one man’s poison is another man’s honey.

In Gaven’s view, Undead Divine Power is a heavy burden.

But in others’ eyes, it’s the sweetest treasure, unattainable yet sought after.

Most items in the Bottomless Abyss cannot be brought back to the Material Plane.

Items are dead, while people are alive.

A bit of thinking will solve the matter.

For instance, exchanging resources he holds for those from the Material Plane coveting the Undead Divine Nature Force.

Duokong, the Great Chieftain of the Undead Stone Giants, is a suitable candidate.

The Beast Demon Tribe’s quick rise is sure indebted to the Council of Death Chiefs.

Beasts and trolls wouldn’t grow suitable weaponry and equipment from the Troll Wilderness.

They were nurtured by the Council of Death Chiefs as the blade to fulfill the yearly pact.

The initial year’s term proposed by the Great Chieftain wasn’t out of goodwill but to leave time for the Beast Demon Tribe to develop.

A year later, instead of Gaven initiating the Giant Plains’ unification, the Beast Demon Tribe would have attacked.

If Gaven has the capability to withstand such proxy attacks, which is one narrative.

But failing to defeat even the proxy, presents another narrative entirely.

Yet Gaven’s growth far exceeded the Great Chieftain’s expectations, not confined to the Giant Plains or even Felen but resolving in the Multiverse.

A classic case of stepping outside the Giant Plains to solve the Giant Plains’ issues.

Without covert support from the Council of Death Chiefs, the Beast Demon Tribe faces considerable crippling.

Also unleashing his army to attack from behind.

It would undoubtedly be fatal.

Finally, delivering a fatal blow against the Beast Demon Tribe.

"Assisting you to wipe out the Beast Demon Tribe and unify the Giant Plains is feasible."

The Great Chieftain of the Undead Stone Giants decisively sold out his proxies, since they were merely expendable, "but the enthronement must occur on the Material Plane, here."

Unfazed by the vast interests, he is acutely aware of where his strengths and foundations lie.
