Chapter 480: 266 200,000 Demigod Skeletons
The sudden system announcement that echoed across the entire battlefield left all the powers stupefied.
No one was able to process it right away.
The 10001st place annihilated four clan armies? And accomplished that in virtually an instant?
How could that be possible?
Wasn’t that Wraith Army composed of merely 502 members and their average level was only 181?
A perplexed Clan of Thousands immediately opened the clan’s ranking list only to spot the Wraith Army listed at the 9997th position!
…
9997th: Wraith army (average level) (Quantity: 1000027) (161 SS Level) (eighth-turn)
…
Looking at the standings, the Clan of Thousands was dumbstruck.
What was going on with the Wraith Army’s numbers?
How did they suddenly go from 502 to over 100,000 members?
But that didn’t seem to be the main issue. Even with an uptick to over 100,000, their average power level was 161 which was still weak. Any power on the battlefield could easily wipe them out, couldn’t they?
How did they manage to instantaneously eradicate four factions?
Before the Clan of Thousands could recover from their confusion, the battlefield announcement chimed again.
“Battlefield Broadcast, the 9997th ranked Wraith Army has annihilated the 9663rd, 9887th, 9988th …and six other factions, obtaining six level 1 Clan Annihilation Treasure Boxes that have been combined into one level 2 Treasure Box. Collect nine more level 2 Treasure Boxes to receive one level 3 Clan Annihilation Treasure Box!”
“Major changes have occurred on the battlefield, the rankings are now being updated!”
…
9991st place: Wraith Army (Quantity: 100007) Average level: 180!
…
They’ve wiped out another six?
Within the blink of an eye, another six factions have been dusted.
The Clan of Thousands couldn’t wrap their head around how this average eighth-turn strength Wraith Army managed to obliterate these ten factions.
“Could it be… there’s a being of level 401 or higher hidden within that Average Level?”
Demigod- levels 201 to 250.
Tiny divine power- levels 251 to 300.
Weaker divine power- levels 301 to 350.
Medium divine power- levels 351 to 400.
A being with a level of 401 represents strong divine power!
With an average strength of just eighth-turn, the Wraith Army can display such horrifying combat results. Aside from housing a being of level 401, there seemed to be no other explanation.
But here lies the issue: the presence of level 401 beings is not allowed in this battlefield area.
Level 400 was the absolute peak.
Therefore, the Clan of Thousands was left utterly confused.
Of course, not all of the Clan of Thousands were baffled — after all, some of them were currently facing off against Dean McKenzie’s Wraith Army.
The Wraith Army under Dean McKenzie’s command was divided into ten troops that spread out in ten directions. The further they went, the more of the Clan of Thousands they met.
By this time, at least ten or so factions of the Clan of Thousands have already clashed with Dean McKenzie’s Wraith Army.
The moment the clash began, their doubts were answered.
But larger questions arose.
“Who the hell told me that these skeletons whose worse attribute is 1008 trillion are only eighth-turn?”
“Damn it, I’m a being of low divine power and I can’t even break the defense of an eighth-turn Epic Template skeleton?”
“What kind of beasts are these?”
The moment they collided with the skeletons, the Clan of Thousands was filled with fear, confusion, bewilderment, and despair.
They were supposed to display just the eighth-turn power, but they could fight against a being of weak divine power.
Only a being with medium divine power can combat these skeletons.
However, just as they began to engage the skeletons, they upgraded again, their levels increased to 181, reaching the ninth order!
The God-level Template skeletons have all attributes reaching 252 quintillion. This attribute, which equals the attribute of beings with medium divine power.
While these skeletons didn’t have the corresponding divine attributes to support their power, significantly weakening their combat power, Dean McKenzie had Bone Summoning, a passive ability that could increase the attributes of skeletons under his command by 500%.
Which is to say, the 252 quintillion attributes could be boosted to create an effect of 1260 quintillion.
The opponents were continuously being defeated.
[Battlefield Report, the 9991st-ranked Wraith Army annihilated 10 forces of rank 9554, gained 10 level 1 Clan Annihilation Treasure Boxes, which have been combined into a level 2 Clan Annihilation Treasure Box. Eight more level 2 boxes will yield a level 3 Clan Annihilation Treasure Box!]

[Major changes have occurred in the battlefield, temporary ranking update!]
Rank 9971: Wraith Army (Quantity: 100007), average level 200!
…
In less than ten minutes, Dean McKenzie exterminated another 20 clans, and the level of his Wraith Army also grew to level 200.
However, after reaching level 200, McKenzie found that his group of Epic Quality Skeletons’ levels couldn’t increase any further.
McKenzie would need to assign them the attributes of a Demigod Template to level them up to 201.
“They’ve grown to level 200, isn’t changing their attributes now a bit of a loss?
I should start training them from the beginning, these templates would offer the most value that way.”
McKenzie felt he was at a loss, but the war was half fought already, so McKenzie had to swallow this bitter pill.
“Then I might as well train them to the level of demigods!
After raising an Epic Skeleton to demigod level, reaching an attribute total of roughly 504 quintillion should be more than enough!”
As he spoke, McKenzie invested 80,000 God’s Gold Coins and 80,000 Demigod Templates.
This round of investment leveled up the entire Wraith Army under McKenzie’s command to level 251.
The strength of his Wraith Army surged tremendously.
The skeletons, originally based on the Epic Template, now have attributes reaching 504 quintillion.
This was already outrageous, but even more incredible was that the skeletons based on the Demigod Template now have attributes reaching 2520 quintillion.
As for the skeletons using the God-level Template, their total attributes have reached 2.5 hundred million units!
With such numbers for attributes, they was clearly excessive.
Basically, all 100,000 skeletons under McKenzie’s command had battle power above Medium Divine Power.
What’s more terrifying is the speed at which this fighting power was formed, all within less than twenty-five minutes.
The later it gets, the more terrifying the formation speed becomes.
This speed of formation was so fast that although the king of the Heart-stealing Demon Sect understood what was happening later, it was already too late.
The fighting power on McKenzie’s side was already formed.
Knowing this, the King of the Heart-stealing Demon Sect was silent for a while before accepting this news.
Accepting that the stage he had painstakingly established ended up becoming someone else’s stage.
And also accepting the fact that the big tailwind that was initially on his side had turned into a massive headwind.
To survive, the King of the Heart-stealing Demon Sect immediately sought out the Tribe of Tiny Angels.
“Let’s join forces. Faced with these skeletons, if we don’t work together, none of us will survive!”
Seeing the olive branch extended by the King of the Heart-stealing Demon Sect, the Tribe of Tiny Angels hesitated slightly before choosing to accept it.
So, 9001 and 9002, who were just fighting to the death, suddenly put aside their grievances to jointly resist Dean McKenzie’s Wraith Army.
The combined strength of these two races was indeed extraordinary.
Through their perfect cooperation, the Heart-stealing Demon Sect’s King wielded fear to suppress the Wraith Army while the Tribe of Tiny Angels led the Clan of Thousands in an attack on McKenzie’s Wraith Army.
Courtesy of 9001 and 9002’s full cooperation, the previously unstoppable offensive of McKenzie’s dispersed Wraith Army was curbed.
The two sides then busted out into intense battles.
The fight was so intense that it practically blotted out the sky and the sun.
With McKenzie not taking personal action, his Wraith Army of all members being level 250 was slowly whittled away.
After 8 hours, McKenzie’s 100,000-strong army was completely devoured.
Of course, the situation was not good for the Clan of Thousands either, 700 out of 1000 forces were annihilated, and the remaining races were all heavily damaged.
Even the Heart-stealing Demon Sect paid a price of 80% casualties, and out of the 1800 members of the Tribe of Tiny Angels, less than 300 remained after the war.
But they eventually managed to take down this Wraith Army and solve the biggest variable at play.
At least that’s what they believed.
Just as they thought the victory was theirs, McKenzie smiled maliciously and snapped his fingers.
In an instant, his God-level immortality activated and the 100,000-strong Skeleton Army that had been slain stood up once again…
