Harvesting more than half of the life of an entire world.
The purpose is to eliminate those ancient evils, which are the minions of chaos, the beginning of corruption, an indescribable monstrosity.
This Death God's entire plan is based on making 'chaos' the imaginary enemy.
The so-called game of the Death God might just be a test, an auxiliary test for the Tower Spirit in actual combat, and surely Su Ziyu is not the only invited player.
If the Space-Time Monitor System hadn't deciphered the auxiliary Tower Spirit, Su Ziyu definitely wouldn't have seen so much.
Perhaps he would have believed the initial task prompts.
Simplistically thinking that this is just a game among gods, with the aim of competing for control of a plane.
For the Space-Time Monitor System, is this Death God an enemy or an ally?
In terms of intention, what the Death God wants to do seems to be exactly what the Space-Time Monitor System asked him to do, with the ultimate goal being the elimination of corruption and pollution. But compared to Su Ziyu's mild methods, the Death God's methods are much more direct, not caring about the lives or deaths of mortals, even if an entire world's people are nearly dead, it doesn't matter as long as the corruption can be cleared.
This is the thinking of a Divine Spirit.
Of course.
The soul harvesting plan has one last important ritual, which is the 'Unreturning Death' ritual.
Su Ziyu turned around to look at those demons.
They probably don't know that they are merely tools in the hands of the Death God. Once the corruption of a plane is completely cleared, the auxiliary Tower Spirit will initiate the 'Unreturning Death' ritual.
All demons and undead will have their souls harvested, these souls will be injected into the Source Sea to hatch new life anew.
It's like saying.
A world with life will be restarted.
To avoid a world completely filled with demons and undead, the Death God, when creating them, left a fallback on their souls, and the Unreturning Death ritual is the tool to harvest these man-made weapons.
Very frightening.
Extremely frightening.
After seeing the truth, Su Ziyu is filled with deep apprehension towards this Death God.
"Master!"
"I have found the Devils' fortress."
As Su Ziyu was perusing the internal data of auxiliary Tower Spirit No. 76, an Assassin Demon he sent out suddenly transmitted some information back.
Mind Sensing switched perspectives.
In Su Ziyu's sight appeared a Steel Fortress that was only half-completed. Within his vision, there were quite a number of devils, different from demons, they seemed to all possess some skills. Su Ziyu even saw a devils' armory, where all kinds of devils were working.
All enemy units are equipped with weapons and armor, the entire fortress looks much like a military camp, strictly disciplined.
Teams of unicorn-horned devils were patrolling.
The Steel Fortress before him and Su Ziyu's base are entirely contrasting scenes, one disciplined and strict, the other chaotic and unruly. If Su Ziyu has any advantage, it's that the number of demons far exceeds that of these devils, currently with a troop strength roughly five times greater.
This fortress absolutely must not be completed!
Su Ziyu took stock of his own messy base camp and the blacksmith shop that had only just started full operation after conquering the Fire Giants, realizing instantly that time was running out.
As a modern person, Su Ziyu knows full well how important discipline is to an army.
The demons were entirely suppressed by the enemy both in discipline and weaponry.
Su Ziyu's side had just set up a blacksmith shop, while in the devils' camp he had already seen a frantically operating armory.
If this Steel Fortress is fully established!
His chances of victory would greatly diminish, and one could even say the hope of winning would be very slim.
The devils' territory isn't large.
Unlike the demons' frenzied expansion, the devils' forces are advancing slowly and cautiously, firmly consolidating each step. Their numbers are far less than the demons, but with excellent equipment and strict discipline, their combat losses are significantly lower than the demons, and the promotion rate is also high, with surviving devils easily advancing to elite units.
They seem to have just defeated the natives, and at this moment Su Ziyu sees a devil's army returning.
Hundreds of devils are escorting thousands of native captives.
There are still a large number of captives working at the Steel Fortress over there, whipped by devils to labor, seemingly wishing to complete the fortress as soon as possible.
It's an opportunity!
Su Ziyu has more than five times the troop strength. If there's no need for siege, a direct frontal assault could potentially push through the devils' base. But once this Steel Fortress is completed, Su Ziyu looked at the twenty-plus meter high walls and realized that low-tier demons would be of little use by then.
Should he take a gamble?
Su Ziyu couldn't help but fall into contemplation.
And just as he was hesitating, suddenly he heard alarm bells coming from the devils' camp, and then saw a large number of devil troops gathering quickly, their efficiency completely outstripping the demon army.
A few white figures appeared in the distant sky.
Angels?
Su Ziyu had the Assassin Demon switch positions and soon saw the figures of some angels, most of them having a golden dog head, unmistakably the Mastiff-headed Angels he had previously encountered.
A Fallen Angel with gray wings ascended from within the devils' fortress.
Upon confrontation, they immediately started fighting!
The scene was extremely bloody and brutal, with brains almost beaten like dogs'.
The clash between devils and angels lasted for over half an hour. After suffering some losses, the devils successfully repelled the Mastiff-headed Angels' attack.
No wonder the devils were expanding so cautiously!
Turns out they have angels nearby.
It's simply heaven-sent!
Su Ziyu quickly made up his mind, arriving at the Abyssal Blood Pool and ordering: "All minor demons transform into Sharp Claw Demons!"
"Advance to Frenzy Demons!"
"Advance to Six-armed Snake Demons!"
"Summon other demon troops!"
In terms of technology, it's certainly not possible to compete with the devils.
The devils had already built an armory, whereas he only had a blacksmith shop. The chances of victory dwindle the later it gets.
Su Ziyu had just conquered the Fire Giants, with many high-quality souls in hand. He decided to explosively produce troops, amassing a bunch of Frenzy Demons, and opting for an aggressive tactic in hopes of a decisive victory against the devils' base. Even if unsuccessful, he couldn't afford to give the devils time to develop, having realized the devils' late-stage potential far exceeds that of demons!
"I'll give you a contingent! Lead them to harvest the monsters to the east!" Su Ziyu turned to his Enchanting Demon subordinate.
While amassing troops, he also advanced.
Su Ziyu still had a sub-base within the Red Dragon's territory, expecting that during this period the demon numbers could reach over twenty thousand without much problem.
It's time to visit the Witch Demon.
Apart from that Witch Demon, Su Ziyu couldn't think of anyone else who would have so many souls, preparing to bring all the vassal races into this strong offensive.
