Chapter 360: The Undead Legion Catastrophe

This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml

Quick Review: Before Edward left, an undead God named Guzznad invaded the Milky Way Galaxy and blocked anyone from entering and leaving the world. There are five Tier 8 civilizations in the Milky Way: the Intergalactic Federation, the Elf Kingdom, the Nightskin (now changed to Starskin) and the Intelligens, and the Arcane Empire.

——

Chatia Cluster, Bluewater Star System, 24,000 light-years from Earth, Bluesea Planet:

A beautiful woman held a trident in her hand. She had blue skin, six hands, and the lower body of a serpent; she was a Naga. To be precise, the Naga Queen, Aquafina.

Behind her was a large army of her kind, clad in armor. The only difference was that the ordinary Naga had four arms, two less than her. In front of them was an army of undead composed of underwater creatures like Mermaids, Sirens, Krakens, and even her kind.

[Water Tornado]

Aquafina pointed her trident to create a powerful tornado that swept half of the army. Regrettably, only a few of the undead remained motionless after her attacks. The others got up and continued attacking–despite many parts of their bodies being destroyed by the sheer force of the attack.

‘Damn it. My water purification is too limited,’ thought Aquafina.

“Attack,” she yelled to the people behind her, and the group of Naga began their offensive. First, they drank a potion before the majority of them swam to the enemy and confronted them with their weapons.

Every time a Naga killed an undead, their weapons would shine with a weird light, preventing the undead from rising again; it permanently killed them.

Meanwhile, the Naga Mages stood behind the queen, took out a bunch of scrolls, and injected their mana inside to activate them. Numerous spells landed on the undead legion, instantly killing many of them.

The mages continued the attack until all the scrolls ran out. Then, they used water-based spells to deal with the enemies. Unfortunately, this time, they would rise even after their entire body was destroyed,

Aquafina acted swiftly and used her Water Purification Magic to finish them off. So, the Naga’s tactic became the mages weakening the enemy, and the queen finished them off.

The battle lasted hours before a strange noise came from the undead side, making them retreat. As Aquafina watched them leave, she did not chase them. Instead, she looked at one of her ministers and said: “Go count the casualties.”

After that, she swam to the ocean’s surface at an incredible speed. In less than ten seconds, she swam from the near bottom of the sea to the surface before flying in the air.

In the sky, she gazed at the entire planet. Bluesea Planet was a beautiful planet with 95% of water. But now, 90% of the entire ocean was a deep black.

She has lived for thousands of years and ruled her people for hundreds of years. And ever since she could remember, this planet was pure blue. Her late parents would take her on vacation to this place, allowing her to make many fond memories.

But now, the entire ocean was polluted by Undead Energy, making it inhabitable to the living. Aquafina sighed deeply before returning to the bottom.

Upon arrival, the minister gave her a list, and she perused it. The casualties were high. Luckily, this group has the Arcane Empire’s Undead Protection Potion. Otherwise, her fallen kind would also have turned into an undead.

“Have the citizens been loaded to the ships?”

“Yes.”

“As you wish, your majesty.”

Aquafina walked to an area full of dozens of enormous wooden ships the size of any spaceship. She got on one and gave the order. Then, these wooden ships floated on the surface for a few seconds before flying in the air.

A giant pool of water appeared on their bottom to carry them in the air. Then, they flew outside of the planet’s atmosphere. All the passengers had a bubble around their heads to allow them to breathe. And due to their natural physiology, that was all the protection they needed.

“Your majesty, do you want to destroy the planet?” said one of the ministers.

“Indeed. It is better than to leave it to the undead.”

Aquafina was the only Tier 6 Planetary Individual of the Naga, so she was capable of blowing the planet to smothering.

“No need.”

The ministers seemed to have thought of something, so a look of understanding and loss appeared on their faces. One of them opened his mouth to say something but closed it in the end.

Aquafina led her people to another planet in the Star System. It was truly a beautiful sight to see such enormous wooden ships traveling in space at tremendous speed, carried by controlled ocean waves. Unfortunately, no one was in the mood to enjoy such a sight.

After a few minutes of travel, the ships arrived at Planet Bluenobility, the Naga Race’s main planet.

Bluenobility was made up mostly of water with a continent in the middle. The Naga Royal Family modified the continent by placing a giant bubble full of water inside it, recreating the ocean.

Only the royal family, the nobility, and wealthy Nagas could live on the continent. After arriving, Aquafina headed to her throne room while her minister went to locate the surviving members under the sea.

Aquafina spent a few hours on the throne, alone with her thoughts. Then, an assembly took place with all the ministers that served her.

“How is the situation?” she calmly asked.

“Not good, your majesty. Bluenobility is the last remaining planet of our Star System, and our defense won’t last long. Furthermore, we are running out of the Arcane Empire’s Purification Scrolls or the Undead Protection Potions.”

“Do we have money to buy anymore?”

“Unfortunately, even with their war-time discount, we do not have enough money to sustain another large-scale invasion.”

The room became quiet, only the sound of light breathing echoing.

“I guess we really have no choice,” said Aquafina with a sigh.

“Your majesty, please don’t,” said one of the ministers as he coiled his snake’s lower body, which was a sign of bowing down, similar to kneeling or kowtowing.

“It is obvious that the Arcane Empire is using this war to force many races and factions to integrate into them. We can’t fail for their tricks.”

“So, do you have a better solution?” Aquafina calmly asked, and the minister did not know how to answer. In the current situation of the galaxy, all the most influential civilizations are in crumble–except for the Arcane Empire.

If they don’t accept their rule, the only thing left for the Naga is destruction at the hands of the Undead Legion.

“We can become a wandering civilization. As long as we survive long enough until forces outside of the Galaxy intervene, we can maintain our race,” said the minister.

Aquafina internally shook her head. To become a wandering civilization, they would have to either move their entire planet, travel throughout the galaxy, or use spaceships to lead the people.

However, each side had many uncontrollable problems, including pirates and slave catchers and the lack of resources to maintain such a lifestyle.

“I have decided: we will surrender to the Arcane Empire.”

The minister who rejected clenched his teeth but did exit his coiling position as a form of protest. Aquafina gave a slight nod to a person standing in the corner of the room.

The other minister who saw this nod knew what it meant: this minister would not live past tonight. The queen did not want any uncontrollable factors affecting the Naga race’s integration into the Arcane Empire.

Someone walked over to hand Aquafina a stone. After activating it, a holographic screen appeared as she logged into the Universe Web.

During this catastrophe, most communication methods became ineffective, most likely the doing of the Death God. However, the Universe Web was not affected, which gave many people hope that outside help would come.

But after so long, nothing happened.

Aquafina contacted the Arcane Empire and contacted them with her notice of surrendering. Before sending the message, she hesitated.

Her decision was not rash or out of nowhere. She did it because the Arcane Empire is a multi-racial one. Even though the leader is a human, the Empire’s laws are fair and equal to all species.

The thing is that they are so fair that they have begun to integrate Undead into their folds, which worries her. Her kind has suffered too much at the hands of the undead, and she did not know how to feel about this.

‘I have no choice. Plus, the Empire’s law is that anyone can be a ruler if they defeat the previous Emperor.’

After restrengthening her resolve, she sent the message.

A few minutes later, a space fleet teleported outside of her Bluenobility Planet, and Aquafina went to receive them.
