Chapter 1576: The Three Alliances

Tang Shaoyang did not move from where he was, leaning against the tree as he thought about how to face his enemy. He was trying to figure out what killed his spirits. If he managed to figure it out, he would fight the people who could actually kill the spirits, and his spirits would fight the others.

He and his spirits discussed it, and they agreed it might be an artifact. There might be an artifact that could kill a spirit. Especially for how long The Nirvana Alliance had been doing this. They must have developed something against the Spirit Contractor, and spirit-killing artifacts might be it.

"Even if we know how they kill the spirit, we can't tell who holds those artifacts. We can't be sure if they just have one or every one of them is holding one similar artifact."

[You have me, Master!] Kaiser spoke in his mind.

Hearing his first skeleton's voice, he still had the Skelly Family and his skeleton army.

[It's time to put a use to your army, Master. We might lose many or maybe all of the army, but I am confident we can take at least a quarter of them. We will be the vanguard. The spirits will support us from behind until we figure out which artifact can kill the spirit!]

That was a solid plan, but there was another issue. The other side seemed to know his and his spirits' location. That was the biggest issue. If not, how did they avoid him for so long and manage to surround his spirits? They must have something on him, tracking his location ever since they arrived here.

Information was the most important thing in the war. His whereabouts were crucial information. They seemed to realize the range of his Chaos Eyes as well. They perfectly avoided his surveillance and moved the people on this side to where his spirits were.

Deploying his skeleton army would just send them to their death. They would be prepared for his skeleton army, and it would be hard to eliminate a quarter of their enemy like what Kaiser told him.

[It's indeed hard to achieve a win if the enemy has a vision on us all the time, Master. We need to figure out how to get rid of their vision on us.] Skelly1, the skeleton who had evolved into Duke Skeleton from Earl Skeleton. Skelly was the commander of the skeleton army, not Kaiser.

"It seems like you are in trouble, my friend," A familiar voice resounded. It was not his spirit or his skeleton, but he recognized the voice.

Tang Shaoyang remembered whose voice it was, Arion. The God Rank he met in the Dimensional Tower, and also the God Rank who helped him to get a truce with the Nirvana Alliance for the Divine Church's figurehead's daughter.

"I noticed the Nirvana Alliance's big movement, so I went to check it, and I saw your name. They are quite smart not to break the truce. All their people here are no longer part of the seven factions in the Nirvana Alliance. They are not breaking the truce because those people are not related to them. Quite smart, I would say."

Tang Shaoyang was at a loss for words and did not know how to respond to Arion. It could be said they were not friends, just an acquaintance since they never met. He did Arion's bidding, helping Arion with the experiment in return for a reward. That was their relationship until Arion came on his own to mediate the conflict between him and the Divine Church. He could never ask for help from Arion, so he did not know how to respond to Arion.

"Don't be reluctant to ask for my help, my friend. You are in this situation because of me as well, and they tried to do something behind my back despite my interference. I would like to screw them over too, but my help this time is not for free."

Arion could read what was in Tang Shaoyang's head. He made it into a deal instead of helping Tang Shaoyang.

"I am telling you it's not just the Nirvana Alliance. But there's another alliance's involvement. You have made quite a lot of enemies since our last time. They are together to screw you over, but they have different goals."

"Three Alliances are working together, Nirvana is of course one of them. There's also Gods Alliance. That one is quite nasty, The God's Order, The God's Justice, and the True God. An alliance with just three factions, but they are at the top of the food chain. The God's Order will make the law, the God's Justice will deliver the punishment if you break their law or you hurt their people, and they choose their leaders from the True God faction."

"What did you do to them? Ah, they want your thing, and... What did you actually do? They seemed to be pissed at you that they want to erase anything related to you from the universe? They sent a hundred rookies from God's Justice in this trial. They are the elite, they still send them despite knowing the risk of breaking the System's event."

Tang Shaoyang did not know about the God Alliance, God's Justice, and the True God. The only thing he knew was the God Order, where Oby was from.

"Ah, I think they are pissed because I killed their seven Administrators. I killed them in the first stage because they tried to take something from me. What about the third alliance?"

Tang Shaoyang wanted to know who his enemies were, so he could pay them back properly later on. He would not set them free after they tried to kill him.

There was a pause when Arion was about to mention the third alliance in the scheme.

"Oho, the third one is quite interesting. I don't really need to worry that you will be killed here. No matter what happens, you are safe. The third alliance is Nebula. They want you to get cornered, and they will come to save you. They want to be your hero. Interesting, isn't it? They want you to join them."

"What do you think? Do you want to let it flow just like they want? Or do you want to hear my deal first? You will be fine even if you don't take my deal because the Nebula Alliance has a meticulous plan to save you from the other two Alliances."
