Chapter 2080 A New Life (Part 2)

Almost answering their silent question, black clouds filled the sky. Silver bolts of lightning painted the sands white and the thunders following them sounded like the angry screams of a god.

Mogar's moon, Inxialot's secret lab at the same time.

The King of the Liches looked at the events taking place on the planet below with a puzzled expression on his skeletal face.

He rubbed his eyes a few times, believing that it was just a hallucination induced by his centuries of sleep deprivation before he remembered that he had no eyes that fatigue could trick.

"Nero, is it me, or do you see this nonsense as well?" He asked his house pet, an alleged black cat.

"Meoyes. I do." The ancient Emperor Beast in disguise pointed his small, fluffy paw at the cosmos visible from the other windows.

The sun and the stars were still there, but some force on Mogar was sucking their energy, making them invisible from the planet and barely a blur from the moon.

"Fascinating phenomenon." Inxialot stared at a point on Mogar that had started to emit all the stolen radiance, shining like a second sun.

The amount of light energy it emitted destroyed the undead too close to the point of impact, while those who were far away or deep underground enough found themselves awake and back to life.

The imbalance in their blood cores had been temporarily fixed, giving them all the powers of undeath and the mana core of living beings. Abominations would die as well if they stayed close for too long, but their black cores with their endless hunger bought them enough time for a Chaos Warp, if they were quick-witted enough.

The rest of them experienced the first break from the ravenous thirst for life that plagued them just to replace that overbearing feeling with a bottomless fear. They ran, and they kept running until they reached the opposite side of Mogar.

The only reason they stopped was that there was no place further from death where they could move.

As for Liches like Inxialot, they still had their mana core so fixing the imbalance in the blood core of their physical vessel just doubled their prowess. He could feel his whole body brimming with energy like never before.

"I could use this extra mana for an experiment, but I don't know how long it will last and if it goes out in the middle of the procedure, I'll blow my house. I'd better use this opportunity to understand what's between the violet and the white core.

"But first…" The King of Liches called his mother, Aylen the First Lich.

She was already a white core and Inxialot was dying to know if the unknown phenomenon was affecting her as well, bringing her core to the next hypothetical level.

"Hey, Mom how is it going?"

"Good gods, it's everywhere! Help!" The Mother of all Liches was panicked, something that had never happened before.

"Cool, cool." That and Inxialot's madness were the reasons he didn't catch the not-so-subtle subtext. "Look, there's something wrong going on with Mogar. Can you tell me if you feel any different?"

"I feel like I'm dying! Help!" Along with her voice, the amulet carried the rumbling of the earth surrounding her underground lab, the clinking and crashing of crystal vials, and the desperate meowls of her feline assistants.
