This Necromancer Just Wants to Plant Trees

But his move was stopped by Matthew:

"Don't be hasty."

"Just wait a moment."

As soon as he finished speaking.

Matthew flicked his right hand into the void, and a surge of power of nature erupted from Lori's eye socket.

Under everyone's astonished gaze.

In less than five seconds.

Lori's eye socket had a lively eyeball similar to the previous one.

His physical functions also swiftly recovered from a sickly state to his peak!

This is the power of "creation"!

Don't mention just losing an eyeball, even if he had just died, Matthew could bring him back!

"This domain's power level is indeed no lower than burial."

"If I want, I could even create a life inside the enemy's body specifically to counteract their weaknesses!"

After a brief attempt.

Matthew immediately perceived the endless possibilities of this ability!

Of course.

There are many obstacles to directly inserting a new life into an enemy's body.

The opponents Matthew will confront in the future are at least legendary.

The enemy won't just stand there foolishly to let things be inserted into them.

Considering the varied activation time of creation based on difficulty.

More practical exploration is needed to make this a decisive move.

"I can pre-plan some creation schemes, developing modular, unique organisms to deal with different enemies."

"By preparing in advance, during actual combat, the creation process can be executed faster, and it should achieve a surprise effect..."

As Matthew considered, he asked the respectful Lori:

"About the White Rock Box you just mentioned, what exactly is it?"

Lori answered without hesitation:

"The White Rock Box is the foundation upon which Baiyan City was established."

"I heard from my mother that it is essentially a control hub, linking Baiyan City's domain field, underground space, cemetery demiplane, Chain of Desire, and most importantly the Boneyard."

"By opening the White Rock Box, you will gain incredible power within Baiyan City, allowing you to restart anything you wish to restart and make simple corrections."

"And most importantly, the White Rock Box is said to be the crucial tool to fully activate the Boneyard, as you know, our current development of the Boneyard is less than ten percent, if we can fully grasp this divine artefact or the demiplane's supernatural powers, perhaps it would allow us to touch the ultimate of the necromancer..."

Lori's words were not fluent, seemingly recalling while speaking.

Matthew guessed this might be his mother Hex's original words.

He was just about to ask for more details.

When suddenly a weak voice of accusation came from the side:

"What are you doing?"

"This is Baiyan City's secret!"

"And you have disclosed it to outsiders?"

The speaker was none other than Demmo's son, Ashe's elder brother.

In Matthew's memory, he seemed to be called Little Ritz.

Before Matthew had a chance to speak.

Lori immediately retorted:

"Firstly, Mr. Matthew is also a necromancer, and a legendary-level necromancer at that."

"According to Baiyan City's rules, every legendary necromancer is qualified to know the secrets of the Boneyard and the White Rock Box."

"Secondly, since Mr. Matthew has defeated the city lord, then the White Rock Box is most likely in his hands. Along with his status as a legendary necromancer, as long as he wishes, he is fully qualified to become the next city lord of Baiyan City."

"The next city lord certainly has the right to know this secret."

Little Ritz furrowed his brows:

"The city lord can only be chosen from the three major families, that's the rule."

Lori coldly said:

"It's your father who broke the rules, don't blame me or the Fangta family for turning our backs."

"In my mind, whether Mr. Matthew wishes to or not, he is the next city lord of Baiyan City."

"Or possibly, does anyone among you have an objection?"

Little Ritz dared not speak at once.

The others were similarly as silent as cicadas in winter.

There was no way.

Demmo and Dammon both had died by Matthew's hand, though they couldn't witness the process, the result was evident.

Now.

Aside from praying for the two Baiyan City leaders in the barrier to defeat Matthew.

There's nothing they can do.

"Hmph, anyway, you colluded with outsiders, we'll discuss this when we return..."

Little Ritz seemed unable to save face, not daring to confront Matthew directly, just muttering irrelevant remarks.

Matthew's gaze gently drifted over.

At once, he fell silent again.

Seeing this, Matthew smiled and approached the people of Baiyan City:

"I originally had no interest in the position of city lord of Baiyan City, but your actions have piqued my interest."

"I'm giving you a chance now—"

"If you pledge allegiance to me like Lori and the Fangta family before Dania, Dickens, and I make a move, I might spare you afterwards."

"Otherwise, it's hard to say what might happen afterward."

Young Ritz's face turned deathly pale.

A spellcaster from Baiyan City suddenly spoke up:

"You just killed our city lord, how could we possibly pledge allegiance to you?"

He seemed to have much more to say.

But the moment Matthew's hand lifted slightly, his voice stopped, and his life ended at that instant.

Buried!

In less than two seconds.

The crowd watched in horror as that spellcaster was directly buried in the ground, corresponding to a small mound forming on the surface.

A gravestone fell from the sky.

The gravestone bore no other information, only the name and time of death of that Baiyan City spellcaster!

This scared everyone out of their wits.

Young Ritz was the first to jump up and shout:

"I pledge allegiance!"

"On behalf of the Ritz family, I pledge allegiance to you, respected Mr. Matthew. You know, it was just hard for us to accept for a moment... no, we accept it now!"

"You are the city lord of Baiyan City!"

The others also sweated profusely as they made similar oaths.

They probably never imagined that the seemingly reasonable Matthew would act so ruthlessly.

In the face of life and death threats.

This group of necromancers naturally had no intention to stay loyal to Baiyan City or the Ritz family, and pledged allegiance faster than each other.

"Boring..."

Matthew glanced at those faces filled with extreme fear.

He instantly lost interest in dealing with them.

He only said to Lori and Ashe:

"Leave here as quickly as possible."

Then.

Matthew's figure disappeared from where he stood.

Then he arrived at the boundary of the core region.

As soon as he crossed over.

Edmond's figure ran out from inside.

The chaotic light in the core region had quieted significantly.

Matthew noticed that the Demon Dragon and the Calamity Grassman were still intact, but the former's size seemed to have shrunk a bit, while the latter's threads had reduced to less than half.

Their auras had fallen in unison.

In contrast, Edmond.

He appeared to be glowing with health, well-fed and satisfied, which, paired with Dania and Dickens's bitter and deeply resented expressions, made it hard for Matthew not to speculate about what had happened between the three inside.

"I've had my fill, it's your turn."

Edmond said to Matthew with a smile.

"Oh by the way, congratulations on your successful advancement."

"Since you have reached legendary level, this domain field will restrict you. To avoid hindering your performance, I will withdraw it!"

After that.

Edmond waved his hand.

The domain field near the Twin Towers of Exile used to expel Ether instantly lost its effect!

In an instant.

A massive influx of Ether poured in.

Forming an ocean of arcane energy!

Nourished by this Ether.

The Calamity Grassman and the Demon Dragon, which had been wilting, suddenly expanded several times.

Dania and Dickens both uttered moans of pleasure as if rain had finally come to parched land!

Boom!

Bolts of lightning infused with Ether Flames penetrated the heavens and the earth.

The entire space experienced violent distortion.

Matthew could even feel signs of collapse within the substance layer of this space!

"What are you doing?"

"Edmond?"

"Do you intend to destroy the Arcane Wilderness?"

A prestigious voice suddenly transmitted from the sky, exploding in everyone's ears like thunder.

Matthew squinted his eyes.

「Hint: You encountered the Mad Second Hand-Turing God of Luck...」
