"Do you still want to personally deal with them now?"

Kelemvor’s slaughtering spree is essentially the enraged response of a Death God, who has lost control, descending directly to retaliate by slashing around.

The Death God is the sword-bearer of the Netherworld.

What Kelemvor faces is not only the demons of the Bottomless Abyss but also the restless enemies of the entire lower plane, as well as the opposing Divine Spirits of the Material Plane, and those powerful beings that desecrate death.

Can you personally cut down each one?

While it’s not entirely impossible to quell the disputes in the lower plane with individual might, that requires a terrifying Legendary Level sufficient to intimidate the powerful entities of Bottomless Abyss, Baator Hell, Burning Hell, Gray Wilderness, and more.

Such a person is definitely not Kelemvor, who relied on luck to ascend to godhood and is barely respected by others.

If stripped of the Mighty Divine Power of his Death God format, Kelemvor would not even be a Legendary Warrior.

Upon hearing the words of Ancient Death God Ye Ge, Kelemvor suddenly fell silent.

He could personally incarnate and repel this demon invasion.

But then what?

A mere group of demons from the Bottomless Abyss, without even a proper Demon Lord, actually forced the dignified Death God to incarnate in person.

By doing so, Kelemvor is nearly depleting the prestige of the Death God.

Additionally, if He acts personally, other entities can discern the capabilities of His incarnation, even deduce His mastery over Divine Format.

This means that the next time enemies strike, they will have a substantial chance of eliminating His incarnation, perhaps even His core being.

This is precisely the intelligence Duncan seeks.

However, due to the presence of Ancient Death God Ye Ge, this cunning Death God sees through everything at a glance and is highly likely to prevent Kelemvor from using incarnation again.

With so many Divine Spirits possessing Mighty Divine Power, why is it only you who frequently resorts to using the power of incarnation?

All your secrets have been exposed.

When the real enemy strikes, that’s when it’s truly fatal.

Death God.

The Death Pantheon.

Among all the pantheons, it’s the most formidable.

The Death God shoulders the burden of transporting souls and serves as the transit point for an entire realm. The responsibilities Kelemvor carries extend far beyond merely repelling one demon invasion.

Every time He acts, Asmodeus, Lord of Hell, laughs.

Ye Ge can predict that the Lord of Hell - Asmodeus likely has already grasped Kelemvor’s actual strength and mastery over the Death Divine Format.

If not for Ye Ge’s deterrence, many potential enemies would have acted already.

This is indeed the case.

Without Ancient Death God Ye Ge, Duncan would already be scheming how to deal with Kelemvor.

Inside the Crystal Tower.

Kelemvor pondered for a moment and immediately said, "Then I shall dispatch the Death Angels and Otherworld Divine Envoys along the main route of the Nether River for defense."

In the first half of his life, he wandered as an adventurer like a warrior and had no experience commanding armies.

But he excelled in learning, and learned quickly.

Ye Ge nodded approvingly and said, "You’re the King of the Dead, commanding the entire City of the Dead."

"Some things don’t require your personal intervention."

This is a good beginning.

At least Kelemvor is no longer as reckless as a warrior.

Kelemvor’s greatest asset isn’t the Mighty Divine Power of the Death Divine Format, but the support of Ancient Death God Ye Ge.

As long as Ye Ge remains unwavering, even the Lord of Hell would not dare to act rashly.

Look at Duncan who didn’t even consider acting personally but summoned several qualified fighters instead, as it doesn’t matter if they die—their souls are engraved in the Dimension Space.

Just as Kelemvor was about to withdraw the Otherworld Divine Envoy corps from the City of the Dead,

Suddenly, Ancient Death God Ye Ge gravely said, "I’ve seen the devil’s enclave at the dock of the City of the Dead."

"Some devils from Baator have appeared there."

"Have you struck an accord with the devils?"

The Death Pantheon has fallen.

Even Ye Ge, who has retreated, must come out to clean up the mess. The devils have struck a secret pact with Kelemvor, with the condition that they won’t harm or play with the souls awaiting guidance.

But the devils will still secretly promote contracts.

This matter was done without Ye Ge’s consent, and compared to the reckless demons, dealing with the cunning devils is undoubtedly more challenging.

Kelemvor hesitated and slowly said, "Yes, sir."

Ye Ge turned without expression to gaze at the young Death God before him and merely sighed softly in the end.

Striking a pact with the devils is not something a Death God should do.

Especially not at this moment.

To sign a contract with the devils, first you must pin their heads to the ground and beat them down repeatedly, ensuring they’ve been thoroughly battered before negotiating contracts.

Specific methods can reference another Death God.

Currently, by securing an accord, Kelemvor merely appears weak and easily manipulated to the devils.

So foolish, so simple, so naive, so childish.

Ye Ge felt deeply disappointed, but in the end, he slowly said, "Do not use the power of incarnation lightly; you’ve not yet fully mastered the authority of death."

"Go."

"Try to perform your duties like a true King of the Dead."

Unless the power is overwhelmingly crushing.

Then the ultimate weapon cannot be lightly utilized; Divine Incarnations are their nuclear weapons.

Kelemvor is like a child flaunting a nuclear bomb, surrounded by predatory adults, all those cunning Divine Spirits watching as if his secrets have been laid bare.

He can beat up small fry (demons) casually.

But when entities of equal format make a move, with Kelemvor deprived of the suppressive authority of Mighty Divine Power, the outcome is predictable.

This game of strategy.

The worst result is Ye Ge personally cleaning up the mess, but if it really comes to that, Kelemvor would have almost completely ruined the prestige of the Death God.

Because the demons invaded the Netherworld to seize souls, did he incarnate and start a mass killing spree?

In the eyes of real adults, those veteran Divine Spirits, Kelemvor is just a sore loser and flustered child.

The Death God is the sword-bearer of the Netherworld.

When this sword slashes down, it should never be as trivial as killing thousands or tens of thousands of demons; it symbolizes the real Corpse Mountain and Blood Sea.

In the view of Ancient Death God Ye Ge.

Kelemvor may kill, but don’t just kill such a minimal number!

If you’re going to attack, at least leave tens of thousands dead, and while you’re at it, offer the head of a mighty Demon Lord to the heavens.

Such recklessness will merely invite mockery and attract more enemies.
