Chapter 166 Warhammer - Successful Resurrection

"How much?" Dio coldly snorted.

He asked a question: "Tarachin, you've lived for so many years, you should know that there are individuals among humans called immortals, right?"

Taracin was somewhat puzzled as to why Dio was asking such a question, but he nodded nonetheless.

“Of course, I also have another immortal being like your emperor in my collection,” Tarasin said with considerable pride.

"However, I haven't figured out why he can live forever. His genes can indeed divide almost infinitely, just like cancer cells, but I still can't figure out why they can live forever."

Dio explained, "I also asked the Emperor, and he explained to me some of the characteristics of immortals that I knew."

Tarasin said, "What does that have to do with what I'm asking?"

Dio used his blue hand to extract the soul fragments of the necromancer, then extracted the soul energy and fused it with the fragments. His other hand glowed red and he pinched the flesh in the void.

"Of course there is a connection. The Emperor once conducted research and discovered that the genes of immortals divide infinitely like cancer cells. They can recover from injuries at an extremely fast speed, and even fatal injuries can be accelerated when the immortals concentrate."

"The Emperor discovered that, in addition to their special genes, the immortals also have very peculiar souls."

"Oh?" Tarasin became interested, and Silent King Szalak, who was watching the show through the screen, also became curious.

"The souls of the immortals transcend their physical bodies. The fact that they can revive bodies that have died or even turned to ashes through their own spirit and will proves that, in addition to their unique genes, the souls of the immortals are also extremely powerful."

Upon first hearing this, Tarasin was visibly agitated; his body was trembling.

Szalak was also very excited.

The Fearful Ones race has one major drawback: their lifespan is extremely short. This is because the planet they inhabit has significant flaws that have caused irreversible damage to their genes.

After learning that the Star Gods and Ancient Saints were almost eternal, they frantically begged them to grant the Fearful Ones immortality as well, or at least to live a longer life.

And the Star God Bird ignored them completely.

A star god, while munching on a star and singing, suddenly discovered that the souls of living beings seemed quite delicious.

Then the existence of the Death-Fearers was discovered.

The Star God allows those who fear death to transfer their thoughts and memories into living, metal-forged mechanical bodies, achieving immortality through mechanical ascension.

However, even though living metal bodies had many drawbacks, and most importantly, they witnessed the Star God devouring the souls of the Fearful Ones.

A space necromancer was born.

Then, the space necromancers rebelled.

Even now, their superiors are still searching for a way to return to the physical body.

As their bodies, made of living metal, gradually became less flexible, their thinking also slowly became rigid. In order not to completely turn into intelligent AI, they chose to fall into a deep sleep.

This is the origin of the space necromancer.

Now, when Tarasin and Szalak heard this for the first time, their eyes lit up and all sorts of thoughts popped into their heads.

"Given your existence, to collect the soul energy that perfectly embodies your will and personality, you would need to completely refine a great demon who has lived for countless years under the command of the Four Gods!"

The Space Necromancer knew about the Great Demon.

After all, their technological creations could easily slay gods and demons, so of course they knew such things existed, they just didn't believe in them.

Tarasin and Szalak remained silent.

The soul of a great demon is very difficult to obtain.

It's important to understand that the great demons under the command of the warp gods are very difficult to kill, or rather, very difficult to kill completely.

The Greater Demons are considered the most powerful combat force under the Warp Gods, essentially comparable to the Primarchs created by the Emperor.

Due to the characteristics of the warp and the connection between the Great Demon and the warp gods, the Great Demon is very difficult to kill.

Each time a Demon is killed in the real universe, its soul will return to the warp to await resurrection.

In the real universe, it would be extremely difficult to preserve the soul of a Great Demon, since the Great Demon is essentially a part of a Warp God. Preserving the Great Demon's soul would be like cutting off a fragment of the Warp God's soul.

Very difficult.

"In that case, we can use the Soul Exorcising Dead Zone to collect souls. How much of that one unit of soul energy would we need?" Szalak asked impatiently.

He constantly longed for the fearful to return to the galaxy, for the race to multiply and thrive again, and for the flame of civilization to be rekindled!

Upon hearing Szalak's words, Dio fell into an uncharacteristic silence.

To be honest, even he himself doesn't know what a soul that has lived for millions of years is like; he doesn't even have a general idea.

"Uh...it requires a lot, we'll need to do some detailed calculations later," Dio replied with this ambiguous answer.

Szalak was clearly dissatisfied, but there was nothing he could do about it.

One of the rules Dio used in his dealings with them was that they could not arbitrarily attack the people of the human empire.

What if the other party refuses to help me after I actually offer my assistance?

As for whether or not to threaten Dio, let's not even think about that.

The other party is from another world. Putting aside whether they have any feelings for this world, even if they do, they are hiding in another world, out of sight, out of mind.

If the human empire were to perish, he might not even offer an emotional response.

So what did they get into?

Did we mess with a piece of cotton?

Then, to the astonishment of Szalak and Tarasin, a body exactly like a human appeared.

Then stuff the already full soul back in, and blow a breath of fresh air, and it will be fully revived!

Tarasin was excitedly gesturing wildly, but quickly calmed down.

"How do you feel right now?" Tarasin asked, grabbing the necromancer.

"What is this...?" The necromancer blinked, not understanding what Tarashin meant, but soon realized that something was wrong with him.

My body, which used to move at the slightest thought, is now somewhat sluggish.

Tarasim released the undead warrior, letting him take a couple of steps first.

However, the necromancer looked at the new body and was at a loss. He tried to move his feet, but stumbled and fell to the ground.

With a thud, the necromancer winced in pain.

Dio explained, "It's probably because he's not used to his restored body. His newly restored body is like a newborn baby, very delicate, and he still needs a period of rehabilitation treatment."

Tarasin, without suspicion, went forward and helped the other man up.

Perhaps due to a habit of being rough when reaching for items, this pull caused a dislocation.

The undead warrior writhed in pain, leaving Tarasin somewhat bewildered.
