MMORPG: War God, You are Invincible Again-Chapter 1435 - 30: Conversation with Kofatis

Upon hearing Kofatis’s response, Lu Hong couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief.

To be honest, five days ago, when he felt that slight chill in his heart and heard Kofatis’s voice, Lu Hong was startled. He truly hadn’t expected that Kofatis had such a method of summoning people.

And he could precisely target Lu Hong.

Yes, Lu Hong received a summons from Kofatis, but instinctively, he was unwilling to approach Kofatis. After all, that shameless old thief Fu Sang even resorted to using beauty traps against the Sea God, so exploiting Kofatis to trick and kill him was not impossible.

Only after sensing Lu Hong’s instinctive resistance did Kofatis reveal some hidden information to him, which was the basis for Lu Hong’s bold ten-year boast.

However, he still needed to discuss the details in person with Kofatis. After all, the method of transmitting messages was limited in the amount of information it could convey.

Seeing Kofatis’s tired appearance, Lu Hong asked curiously, "What happened to you?"

"Fu Sang attacked me," Kofatis responded blandly. "But he can’t kill me. Most of his energy and abilities are used to restrain and suppress the Twelve Main Gods. Simply being able to deal with me is already his limit, and trying to kill me is probably impossible."

Hearing Kofatis’s response, Lu Hong understood. Although the Twelve Main Gods hadn’t directly participated in this war, in reality, they had already been making a huge, silent contribution behind the scenes.

This was something Lu Hong hadn’t anticipated.

Quickly, Lu Hong snapped back to reality and asked, "I wonder what you summoned me here for, what do you want to discuss with me?"

"It’s simple. Help me break free from Fu Sang’s control."

"How do I break free?"

Lu Hong was a bit excited, as it seemed Kofatis knew of a secret technique that could escape Fu Sang’s control. If Lu Hong mastered this secret technique, couldn’t he also help other resurrected undead break free from Fu Sang’s control?

If that could truly happen, the situation would vastly improve.

But in the next second, Kofatis’s words plunged Lu Hong back into the abyss.

"Kill me!"

Hearing Kofatis’s response, Lu Hong was taken aback, then he asked, "Is there no other way?"

Upon hearing this, Kofatis shook his head and said, "When our souls were drawn here, they were already imprinted with Fu Sang’s mark. Unless a soul is extinguished and returns to death, the mark won’t dissipate."

"There should be a means to counteract this mark, right?"

"There isn’t."

Hearing the answer, Lu Hong asked confusedly, "Then how do you resist Fu Sang’s control? Didn’t you escape from Fu Sang’s grasp? Could it all be due to the Twelve Main Gods?"

"My escape from Fu Sang’s control comes from the true meaning imprinted on my soul, a remnant of the Taichu Will. Though very scarce, it is sufficient to counter Fu Sang’s division of the Taichu Will. Therefore, I can temporarily resist Fu Sang’s will and block it. But most of the time, I’m still constrained by him. I’m already dead, and shouldn’t be back, so I hope you can kill me and let me return to peace."

Kofatis’s eyes were indifferent, filled with apathy toward life and serenity towards death.

"Honestly, I don’t really want to kill you," Lu Hong said after a moment of silence. "After all, if you and the Twelve Main Gods team up, you can threaten Fu Sang. If you die, relying solely on the Twelve Main Gods might not be enough to pose a threat to Fu Sang."

Upon hearing this, Kofatis glanced at the small Lu Hong and said, "You can’t win. Although you’ve killed the undead summoned by Fu Sang, it hasn’t depleted Fu Sang’s strength in the slightest. In the Hanqiu Mountain Realm, Fu Sang’s strength is constant. The reason why killing many ordinary undead can awaken powerful undead is because of the redistribution of power. When those undead die, the power used to awaken them will return to Fu Sang after their death. Then Fu Sang can use this power again to summon other dead souls."

Hearing this, Lu Hong asked puzzledly, "Then why didn’t Fu Sang just inject all his power at once to summon a single powerful undead? Absolute strength should be able to crush everything. Why didn’t Fu Sang do this?"

Upon hearing this, Kofatis thought for a moment, then spoke, "This has to do with the state of the soul. Our souls, although drawn into the Hanqiu Mountain Realm after death, still match the strength of our pre-mortem souls and might even be weaker. Therefore, we need supplements. Although part of the Power of Soul of those dead undead can be devoured by demons, another portion of essence will follow Fu Sang’s power and return to him. This Life Essence is enough to fill the void left by the once powerful undead, allowing them to restore one hundred percent of their pre-mortem strength upon rebirth and even accept more power from Fu Sang."

Lu Hong nodded. Now, through Kofatis’s explanation, he roughly understood the principle behind Fu Sang summoning undead.

"So if we can intercept the entire Power of Soul of the dead undead, Fu Sang will have no way to summon more powerful undead, right?"

After hearing Lu Hong’s hypothesis, Kofatis pondered for a moment before nodding, "In theory, yes, but on the land of Hanqiu Mountain Realm, accomplishing this is very difficult. Normally, it’s utterly unattainable. The original law of this world is controlled by Fu Sang. You have no ability to intercept that part of the Power of Soul. Alright, I’ve said what needs to be said. I still hope you can kill me and fulfill my wish."

"But, Master Kofatis, if you die, then there will be one less person to restrain Fu Sang, making it even harder for us to win. So, I can’t kill you."

Facing Lu Hong’s repeated refusal, Kofatis became somewhat angry, "I’ve already told you, you simply can’t win. Besides, what if you win? Fu Sang is merely a wisp of the soul of Taichu. Once Taichu awakens, you will still die. As long as it is a being born under this world, it is impossible to resist the consciousness of the world’s creator. The power you possess is all by his grace and benevolence. Wielding his gifts and benevolence, and thinking of killing his master, is nothing but a pipe dream."

Facing Kofatis’s words, Lu Hong did not retort; the truth was as such. Lu Hong sighed, "But who is willing to just wait for death? We always have to fight, even if there’s only a glimmer of hope, or even if there’s no chance at all, we cannot give up. Since we were born with intelligence, walking in this world as independent beings, our life and future should be in our own hands, not relying on their charity and mercy, and we must not succumb to being someone else’s plaything."

Listening to Lu Hong’s calm narration, a faintly dark blue light glinted in Kofatis’s indifferent eyes. After a moment, he spoke, "You speak well. I am moved by your sincerity, but my abilities are limited, and the help I could provide might cause more destruction instead. From now on, I shall sleep here eternally. If you need my help to restrain Fu Sang, you can come early and awaken me, but be aware that while I restrain Fu Sang, there’s a great chance I’ll be influenced by Fu Sang’s will, leading to indiscriminate attacks on everyone, including you."

Lu Hong nodded. Seeing Kofatis agree to help him, Lu Hong was quite excited. After all, being able to bring in such a powerful ally was undoubtedly a significant accomplishment.

Subsequently, Lu Hong recalled the war that Great Daoist Venerable had mentioned and asked Kofatis, "A few days ago, did you attack the army of Dao Yi True Realm?"

"Dao Yi True Realm? I don’t know. A few days ago, I was summoned by Fu Sang to a battlefield. Once there, I resisted Fu Sang’s will, attacking everyone. No one should have left that battlefield alive!"

"Wait!" Lu Hong reacted sharply, "You attacked everyone?"

"Yes, including Fu Sang’s people. I killed everyone."
