Building the Strongest Undead Empire from Scratch

Back in the undead Imperial Capital, Alex sat in the main hall, poring over a map of the Eldoria continent.

She had a lot to consider. Thunder's suggestion of breaking free from the system's power left her clueless.

The entire undead empire had been built with the system's assistance. What would happen to the city's structures without it?

The castle crystal and the barrack crystals were entirely dependent on the system.

Undead didn't need barracks, but what about the other troops?

Not all lords could summon their own troops like the undead lord.

Besides, the idea of killing all the lords was insane.

Although slaughter benefited the undead's development, Alex wasn't a bloodthirsty warmonger.

"There's no rush. We'll deal with that after securing our position on the Eldoria continent."

Alex closed the map, stood up, and walked out of the hall.

"Gather everyone."

...

Half an hour later, Alex's followers assembled in the main hall.

"Everyone, I'm going to share some highly classified information with you: the system, the World's Heart, the path to godhood, and so on."

Alex sat at the head of the table, her gaze serious as she addressed the group.

They needed to know the truth about this world.

Otherwise, they wouldn't understand her future actions.

In just twenty minutes, Alex revealed everything, omitting irrelevant details like the previous undead lord's identity and his connection to the Mage Guild.

The group listened in silence, each revelation hitting them like a bombshell.

After a long pause, Xiao Mu spoke first. "So, we're not only going against many others, but we also have to eliminate all the lords?"

"Alex's intentions are clear. She wants to lead us out of this chaotic world," Xiao Hui added.

"Do the other races know about this?"

"Of course they do. They just don't have the power to do anything about it."

"So, our primary enemies are the followers of the World's Heart. Then we'll deal with the neutral races. As for the lords, they don't pose a threat to us for now. But their situation isn't ideal. Without the system, they'll lose access to many functions."

Sophie understood, grateful that she had sided with Alex early on.

"Speaking of losing the system, without the ability to summon troops, we'll have to rely on natural reproduction. That's what will happen after the system disappears in a hundred years anyway. We're just adapting in advance."

Drake didn't seem bothered. He had no friends besides Alex and the others. As long as he could become stronger, he was willing to do anything.

"No, there's another way. We can force the lords to become Freelancers. Although this would still leave a small portion of the system's power intact, it's the best way to minimize bloodshed."

Alex spoke up. She didn't want to kill innocent lords. They were just pawns in this game.

At least they could join the Liberty Church, where she could impose rules prohibiting them from using the system.

"What about Satan and Lilith?"

"I'll talk to them later. If I can easily break free from the system's control at Sovereign level, so can they."

Alex had already planned their escape route. She just hoped that those lords would make the same choice as her. Otherwise, there was nothing she could do.

"So, does this mean we can't become gods?"

"No, faith power is still useful. All undead are summoned by us, and regardless of their intelligence, they are absolutely loyal. They have no connection to the World's Heart."

Alex's words reassured everyone. She didn't mention that if she truly became the God of Creation, she would be the Supreme Deity everyone spoke of.

The undead weren't particularly shocked by this news. They simply had to follow their queen's lead. They didn't need to worry about the rest.

Tap, tap!

Alex's knuckles rapped gently on the table, silencing the discussion. As everyone turned to look at her, she slowly raised three fingers.

"Three days. You have three days to break through to Emperor level. In three days, the undead empire will officially declare war on the Beastmen Empire!"

"Yes!"

They responded in unison, rising to their feet. Then, they dispersed, resuming their duties.

Time was of the essence. Alex couldn't wait any longer. The era crisis could erupt at any moment, plunging the world into chaos. The undead empire needed to be prepared.

On the surface, the races were fighting amongst themselves. But who knew how many had secretly sided with the World's Heart?

Would they join forces to eliminate the other races?

When that time came, all the lords would be targeted, and Alex, the strongest among them, would be their primary target.

...

Three days passed in a flash.

Ruby was the first to master a spatial sphere and ascend to Emperor level. On the final day, Ice Cream and Death Spirit also broke through, as expected.

The undead empire now had six Emperor level beings, more than enough to deal with the Beastmen Empire.

The pressure was now on Alex. She would have to face the Sovereign level Archalpha alone, with only her Emperor level strength.

Although she had expressed confidence, Alex was secretly apprehensive.

According to their intelligence, the Demihuman Archalpha had been in seclusion for a long time, likely researching bloodline power.

This was closely related to his ascension to the second stage. If they delayed any longer, and he reached the second stage, the undead empire would stand no chance.

The second and third stages were realms of true divinity. Even ten first-stage Sovereign level beings couldn't defeat a second-stage opponent. It was a qualitative difference.

Strictly speaking, first-stage Sovereign level was still within the realm of Emperor level. They had simply perfected their sphere and begun to ignite their divine fire.

...

"The Beastmen Empire's capital, Five Colors City," Alex murmured, tapping her lips thoughtfully. "The demihuman Archalpha is likely there."

Following Alex's orders, the undead army outside the city began to assemble under the command of the race kings. The Silverscale Leviathan in the sky slowly descended, landing on the ground to load the undead.

However, it wasn't carrying ordinary undead. It was transporting the elite fusion undead and the powerhouses from the various subjugated races.

They were all King level, nearly seven hundred strong!

The remaining space was filled with Monarch level troops.

This was an all-out assault, the entire might of the undead empire mobilized to crush the Beastmen Empire. Alex was determined to win. They couldn't forget the alchemy warlocks, essential for mass-producing King level undead on the battlefield.

Alex stood outside the palace, gazing upon the endless sea of undead in the plaza below. The wind howled, her white hair whipping wildly as she leapt into the air, issuing her battle cry.

"All forces, advance! We march on Five Colors City! "
