Necromantic creatures that have reached a certain level can eat (albeit devouring souls), so can necromantic creatures reproduce? Many scholars have debated this.

The body of a necromantic creature is made up of corpse cells and has no function of withering itself, so the baby of the necromantic creature (if any) will only grow into a pile of fat, rather than grow into a reasonable body like a living being. The reproduction of necromantic organisms is more like the process of assembling parts into instruments. Both high-level necromantic creatures strip off parts of their souls, spirit imprints, and bodies to construct newborns. Newborns have the talent, knowledge and skills to be born with intermediate and advanced strength, far stronger than living babies, but they do not have childhood.

After the creation of the newborn, the strength of the parents will be permanently lost, and the total loss is greater than the total strength of the newborn, which is very disadvantageous to the parents. The despicable are unwilling to sacrifice their strength in order to reproduce, so it has long been believed that necromantic creatures cannot reproduce.

Breaking one's soul into pieces, but not washing away the attached spiritual imprint, can only be regarded as a doppelganger, not a reproduction. Creating a newborn from a blank soul fragment and letting it grow slowly is somewhere between doppelganger and reproduction.

In addition, the reproduction of necromantic creatures does not care about the sex and race before death, and any two necromantic creatures have the possibility of reproduction, so there is no such thing as a father and a mother.

"Please marry Princess Su'er to Rudy."

Political marriage?!

Qingyi was startled, and quickly calmed down. As a superior person, he is naturally no stranger to this method. When two forces want to show goodwill to each other, the leaders do not necessarily have to be allied by blood, and it is okay to form in-laws. Su'er is the princess of the Twilight Empire, and Rudy is the prince of the underworld, and both of them are strong enough to represent their respective forces. Strictly speaking, Su'er is still high.

A picture appeared in Qingyi's mind: Rudy was happily playing glass beads with the "soul gem" outside the house, while the children in the house kept washing the dishes, and they didn't even have time to wipe their sweat...... Child bride?

"I don't ...... Well, this, Su'er is still young, and it's not the time to think about getting married. Qingyi shook his head.

The shadow took on a black human form, sat on the armrest of the throne, and shouted, "Host, make a decision before you hear someone else's chips?" ”

"I can share with you the spiritual imprints of all the necromantic kings in history." The Immortal held up the scroll in his hand, which emitted a mesmerizing blue light. "I can provide a thirty-man escort team of quasi-hero-level Lost Soul Shadows. If there is anything in the underworld that you like, I will offer it as a dowry for marrying Princess Su'er. God is very accommodating in this matter. ”

Xue Duo exclaimed, and shook Qingyi's shoulder: "Don't you still agree?" Suo'er is only an intermediate combat professional, and if you can exchange so many things back, wouldn't you have earned it! I didn't mean to rush you, don't get me wrong! ”

"Shut up, Xerdo. Su'er is my daughter, my unique baby. Qingyi's voice was categorical.

"But the host, a convoy of thirty quasi-heroes, don't you understand what this concept is? If you had this army with you then, would you still be defeated by that Divine Punishment Knight? Will your subordinates still die? In addition, if I share the atlas with you, won't you be able to call out a lot of seniors with [Soul Call]? Seeing that Qingyi didn't refute, Xue Duo struck while the iron was hot: "I know, you remember the political marriage when Salamonro V, but this time and that time are two different things!" Look at it, Rudy, this little ghost is fascinated by Suo'er, are you still afraid that Suo'er will marry unhappily? ”

"Enough, I'm in measure." Qingyi looked at Rudy, who cast expectant eyes like a pug, and said unceremoniously: "You can go after Suo'er, if Suo'er is tempted by you, then I have no opinion; If you bully her and force her, I don't care whose son you are, I will slaughter her! ”

"Yes, yes, father-in-law!"

"Yue you system! Don't scream! ”

(Hearing this, Rudy turns his head secretly.) Xue Duo whispered to Qingyi: "Host, he grimaced with his back to you. ”）

("It's okay, I'll put on his little shoes when I go back and see if I don't kill him.") ”）

"Get your bags out." The Hades King first instructed a few confused soul shadows, and then said to Rudy lightly: "Before you married Princess Suo'er, you stayed in the Qiankun world. The affairs of the underworld are the concern of your brothers. ”

Rudy put away his hippie smile and bowed deeply: "Got it." Then leave.

"From now on, I'm going to bother you more." Hades said to Qingyi.

"You're welcome. By the way, according to the Grim Reaper incarnation, the necromantic magic here is different from the necromantic magic in the outside world, and it just so happens that my skills are insufficient. Can you teach me a few? ”

"Of course, I'll teach God now. First of all, our magic requires dark elemental or soul power to be activated, much like necromancy. Magical names are often prefixed with 'death', so you can call them 'death magic'. ”

"Does [Death Ripple] count as well?" Qing Yi was stunned for a moment, isn't this a more advanced move in black magic?

"Yes. The core of our magic system is 'instant death', and even the lowest level of magic can trigger the 'instant death' effect, which is why it is called 'death'. From [Death Aura], [Death Ripple], [Death Gaze]...... All the way to the necromantic forbidden spell [Dead World] can illustrate this. They are among the necromancers and have been incorporated into the necromantic magic system of the Qiankun world. ”

"However, these are all spells that can be learned from outside, is there anything more powerful, such as the kind of magic that summons the necromantic kings of the past?"

"Yes. Some spells are very limited in terms of the conditions under which they can be activated, so they are not spreading. To use them, you must have great soul power, and qualified casters are either heroic necromantic creatures or necromantic kings. With that, the Hades opened a list of skills, and Ren Qingyi chosen.

[Soul Vortex] field, in this field, deal 100 soul damage to enemy units per second, and allied units (necromantic and semi-necrotic creatures only) share your [Soul Force Field].

This one...... That's amazing, isn't it? The damage effect of the front one is high enough, but more importantly, the attributes of the back! Sharing the [Soul Force Field], what a concept is this!

【Soul Force Field】When you live with a necromantic creature who has signed a contract with you, your soul fire will become more powerful, and you can observe the world from the soul level. Each necromantic creature that signs a contract gives itself a 5% increase in maximum health (7% for intermediate, 10% for advanced, 15% for hero, up to a maximum of 200%), and a 1% bonus to soul magic (up to 100%); Immunity to illusion or psychic attacks, and can give a powerful counterattack, the counterattack value is self-level*10, and can stack the effect of 25% on all reconnaissance spells; The user, allied units in the user's soul field, and the user's minions have a chance to increase their soul value for each attack, equal to 30% of the attack damage.

Currently, the [Soul Force Field] has fused [Soul Counterattack], [Soul Eye], and [Soul Lust], and allied units standing in the Qingyi Domain can share these skills! In other words, Qingyi alone can bring a powerful vanguard! And all this can be achieved thanks to Mr. Dever! In addition, the potential of the [Soul Force Field] is more than that, and it can definitely continue to be developed! As it becomes stronger, the effect of [Soul Vortex] will also increase! If the two are combined, it is even more cost-effective than the skill that summons the Necromantic King!

"I chose this [Soul Vortex], well, and [Chorus of the Dead]." Qingyi weighed it repeatedly, and said.

Ghosts float from the void and sing sad and ethereal songs. Summons a number of Singing Ghosts of the current level of \/10 (Ghosts/Necromancy, Attack is fixed at 0, Defense is 20, Soul is 100, immune to all status magic, up to 7 are summoned), each Singing Ghost reduces the user's Channel Time by 10% and increases the magic effect by 10%; When seven singing ghosts are present, "Singing" becomes "Instantaneous", increasing the magic effect by 100%. When this spell is cast, all of the previously summoned Singing Ghosts dissipate.

Although Qingyi's current level of [Starry Night Gate] is very high, and he doesn't need to chant when summoning his younger brother, what he values is not the reduction of channeling time, but the "magic effect enhancement" in the back. With it, the scope of the field can be expanded even more.

Now that the White Bone Tyrant had made his choice, the Hades raised his hand, and two blue light snakes came out of his sleeve like snakes, and they were about to shoot into Qingyi's pupils. However, a piece of majestic music sounded, and the "Evening Star" in Qingyi's hand emitted a black light, and a blue light was intercepted halfway. Not only that, but the ground was shaking, as if the entire underworld had been shaken by the music.

"What's going on? I didn't learn the [Chorus of the Dead]......" Qingyi focused on the scepter in his hand, and couldn't help but be stunned. [7th Movement: Ragnarok] has a passive effect: the activation time of summoning magic is halved, and the "chanting" will not be interrupted. Adds an additional 1% "One Hit Kill" modifier (i.e. death) per attack. 'Skill deduction?' Will the movement's properties still change? ”

The Hades didn't say anything, just waved his hand, spread out a light blue light curtain in front of him, and checked the situation in the underworld from the light curtain. After confirming that there was no accident, he said: "The 'movement' has a transcendent status, and it must be chanted when used, and it is impossible to be affected by the [Chorus of the Dead] and become 'instantaneous'. Therefore, it is normal for the [Chorus of the Dead] to be annexed and dominated. ”

Qingyi sighed: "I see, I always thought that skill deduction was random. Are there any default rules in this? ”

"Powerful skills swallow up weak skills, and skills of a similar nature merge with each other. It's unbelievable that the 'movement' can also work in the underworld, maybe...... The power of the gods of the Qiankun World is already strong enough to interfere with all planes. Hades' unwavering face also showed a hint of melancholy. He looked at the scepter and sighed, "No wonder even the Eternal Emperor wants to use the power of adventurers to forcibly give birth to the Necromantic King among the adventurers. The old era is long gone, doesn't he want to appear in front of the stage again? ”

Listening to this passage, Qingyi seemed to grasp something.

Hades looked at the rooftop, as if he could see the sky. He said softly, "Next, there will be a lot of rain." ”
