In a vast space filled with neon lights, a slender figure was sitting in the center like a moon surrounded by stars.
A projection was opened in front of this person showing nothing but darkness, and at this moment, Necro's tyrannical voice reverberated, "Fuck off, I refuse!"
The next moment, the projection vanished, which meant Necro had cut off the connection.
"Greedy Bastard!" Ryan's furious voice reverberated in the space like a thunderclap.
"Since you want to hoard the path of legend just because you control the entire dead faction, I'll let you know just how ridiculous your plan is," Ryan muttered with fury.
Ryan then issued a command coldly, "Contact the Leaders of Life Faction, Dark City, and Cardinal Spirit Temple! It's time for those greedy corpses to vanish from the Unique Plains!"
Night descended, and oblivious of the huge tremor he had caused in the entire Unique Plains, Jacob approached the center of the research island while Thone was leading.
At this moment, thousands of dark beings were gathered together in an empty space, and a Midget Wight in ash gray robes stood on a high platform, and behind him were hundreds of armored midgets. This gray robe midget was the Assistant General of this island.
Suddenly, the Assistant General sensed something and looked behind and saw Thone walking over.
"General is here!" He loudly announced, and all the dark beings quickly bowed their head in respect.
Thone didn't show any reaction and walked over to the platform in front of the Assistant General.
Without waiting, he coldly speaks, "Since everyone is here, I won't waste more time. Someone is targeting our island, and they have already plundered our resources. Although I don't know if it's a false alarm or not, we can't ignore it, or we'll all be punished by his majesty.
"So, it makes sure this won't happen, and the offenders are not hiding among you, I have summoned you all here to undergo an inspection. Don't worry, it wasn't something excessive. Whoever clears this inspection can leave here and get back to their posts.
"Let's start without ado; from now on, ten of you will walk into the building behind me every minute. If you are clean, then you don't have anything to worry about, and you'll be able to leave from another exit.
"Since it's an inspection, it has to be fair." Thone then turned around and looked at the Assistant General and the island guards and commanded, "Assistant General, take nine of your most trusted men and start. Once you're done, hurry back to your post."
The Assistant General didn't find anything wrong with this sequence since they were all here. The island was completely unprotected, so by inspecting the guards and him, they could quickly return to their post. This will also show that everyone is a suspect, and no one would have any resentment in their heart.
"Thank you, General. Oh, this is all the pills and materials I've collected." The Assistant General quickly handed Thone a space ring.
Thone accepted the ring with a slight nod before the Assistant General and nine other guards began to walk over to the building without hesitation.
Although the Assistant General didn't ask any questions, he was extremely curious about this novel method that Thone was introducing to sniff out the traitors or intruders. Still, he knew Thone, one of the top researchers and inventors of the dead faction, so he might've invented this new method, which made the Assistant General even more respectful.
As they entered the building, the room was pitch black, but the dark had no effect on the dark being's vision.
However, before they even examined the room and found this method, a green streak flashed past their skulls like a lightning bolt.
The next moment, one after another, they begin to fall down while the dead flames of their lives are extinguished. From start to finish, they had no idea how they all died so quickly and effortlessly.
Jacob's smiling figure appeared over the corpse as he quickly collected their space rings and cores before getting rid of the corpses.
'This is going to be a very tiring night.' He thought before he vanished without a trace.
Outside, no one knows that the Assistant General and his group have already met their maker, and after a minute passed, another group of ten began to walk toward the building.
Since Thone was standing there, no one dared to have any thoughts, and they were very obedient as, one after another, they walked towards their death willingly.
After an hour, after sixty groups, many of them were sighing in relief since no traitor had been found yet, which means this method was effective, and they wanted to go through it quickly and return to their posts.
At this moment, Thone suddenly ordered, "Next group will be of 15!"
With the increase in number, the huge crowd began to shred down very fast, and all the high-ranking dark beings were already 'done'.
Thone increased the number by five again, and after eight long hours, only hundreds of zombies remained before nothing was left.
If those dead kings found that someone had tricked thousands of dark beings with high intellect to their death, they might explode from fury.
At this moment, Jacob walked out of the room, and Thone walked over to him and handed him the space ring, which was filled with thousands of space rings.
"Since we are done here, take this ring. It is filled with explosives. Arrange them to the underground channels. The timer has already been set. This will be quite a good distraction." Jacob handed over a space ring to Thone and ordered Autarch.
Since he was done with this place, he was going to leave for another dead island, so blowing this one would draw all the dead faction's attention, giving him even more space to plunder and kill.
Jacob was now feeling somewhat uneasy and wanted to complete the evolution of the hex core as soon as possible. So, his next target was going to be somewhere which is filled with high ranking dark beings, the military dead islands!
