Building the Strongest Undead Empire from Scratch

Chapter 228: Angel resurrection pool

"Since you know nothing, what's the point of keeping you alive? Let's just kill him!" Xiao Hui said viciously from the side.

"But I know other information, about the angel Lord. To be honest, I've been abandoned by the [Justice Alliance], and I want to join another alliance," Drake said, believing that as a top-tier Lord, he had a chance to join Alex's Alliance. He offered information about the angel and the Justice Alliance to pique Alex's interest.

After all, they had abandoned him, so why shouldn't he sell their secrets?

"Get a grip. Besides Sophie, you're the weakest one here," Xiao Hui laughed.

Sophie shook her head helplessly. She couldn't argue, as it was the truth.

Drake was even more confused. He thought this woman must be joking. He acknowledged Alex's strength and status, but why were these two subjects mocking him?

"Don't doubt it. They're both lv2 Monarch level. Even without the undead, you're no match for them," Alex said.

Drake had no choice but to believe her, though he was still in disbelief. Following the undead lord, even the subjects had reached lv2 Monarch level? This was unbelievable.

Realizing he had no chance of becoming an ally, he resorted to his last option.

"I am willing to submit!"

"Stop. I don't accept just anyone. You'd better spill the Justice Alliance's secrets," Alex interrupted Drake.

Drake had no choice but to reveal what he knew. After hearing him out, Alex learned that their alliance was called [Justice Alliance], currently ranked first in points.

Drake mentioned the Angel Lord. Could she still be alive?

This piqued Alex's curiosity.

Could this be an angelic trait, allowing for resurrection?

"Alright, I'll start with the information. [Holy Wing], the angel Lord Raphaela, has indeed been resurrected."

Drake began to explain about the angel Lord and the Justice Alliance.

Raphaela's castle housed an angel race-exclusive structure: the Angel Resurrection Pool.

The Resurrection Pool allowed her not only to revive but also to mass-produce troops, which was another reason Raphaela became a top-tier Lord.

Reviving through the Resurrection Pool had side effects, but they were minimal for Raphaela at the time. This is why she chose to stay behind to buy time for her allies to escape.

The side effect was that her strength would drop to the lowest level of her current tier upon revival.

If Raphaela were killed at lv9 Monarch level, she would resurrect at lv1 Monarch level, a significant drawback. But if she was already lv1, the side effect was negligible.

Besides birthing angels, the Resurrection Pool had another powerful ability: transforming all non-male (including female, asexual, and neutral) creatures into angel beasts.

Transformed angel beasts had their life cap increased by one tier, but their current level dropped by one.

For example, if Ice Cream was Commanding level with an Emperor level cap, it would drop to Standard level but have a Divine level cap after transformation.

This was a terrifying ability.

Raphaela could quickly mass-produce troops, breed angels, and command various races, making her even more formidable than the undead.

Raphaela's troops, though few, were elite with high life caps, while Alex's undead were mostly cannon fodder.

For the first time, Alex felt the immense potential of the angel Lord, something she hadn't sensed with Lilith or Satan.

During the attack on Raphaela, she hadn't deployed her troops, so Alex's understanding was limited to that battle. In contrast, the undead's information had been significantly gathered by the enemy.

To kill her, one had to destroy the Angel Resurrection Pool first to prevent her from reviving.

In essence, destroying the castle was more appropriate.

But with her development, it wouldn't be long before [Holy Wing] evolved into an angel city or even an angel kingdom.

Hearing this, the siblings were also shocked. They had never encountered a Lord comparable to Alex, explaining why the Justice Alliance was second in overall strength but first in points.

Moreover, Raphaela was no longer limited to the Alliance, aggressively recruiting Lords and forcing them to submit. According to Drake, there were already over a dozen Lords at Stone Pillar Mountain.

Some came willingly, some were subdued, and others were influenced by holy light, all submitting to Raphaela.

Their troops became a continuous source of angel beasts for Raphaela.

Alex realized that the Angel Resurrection Pool was currently Monarch level, not very efficient. But if it leveled up, it would become increasingly terrifying.

"Why didn't your allies save you from the Soul Hunter?" Xiao Hui asked, hitting the key question. Everyone looked at Drake.

"Because Raphaela is becoming less human. Angels have a sensing ability, similar to mind reading. I believed gathering together hindered development and wanted to move away.

This went against Raphaela's will, and she sensed my resentment. The other three might have been influenced by Raphaela, becoming very devoted to her.

We used to be equals in the Alliance, each with our own development ideas. But since her last death, the others have started following her blindly, losing their independence. The equal relationship turned into one led by Raphaela."

Drake spoke in a low voice, recalling his experiences in the Justice Alliance. Looking back, he noticed many unusual things.

Raphaela sensed his realization but maintained a facade, not explaining, making Drake more suspicious. He suspected Raphaela's holy light could influence minds.

Drake wasn't affected due to his high soul resistance as a dragon Lord. Realizing the anomaly, he used development as an excuse to move away, forcing them to agree.

This led to the subsequent events, including Drake's belief that he had been abandoned.

Drake had other suspicions.

As Raphaela's strength grew or she resurrected, her so-called divinity was taking over, making her less human.

She was losing her emotions, becoming a true angel, no longer a living person.

"Can you contact her and find her location?"

This was a future threat, but Alex's current strength was enough to kill her ten times over.

Drake shook his head.

"No, she's already guarding against me."
