Strongest Necromancer System Chapter 1058: Unnecessary Deaths

<Infernal mice from Gehenna!>
Jason blinked in surprise at the strange request. Jason quickly asked the system where Gehenna was, and the system said it was a Fourth Ranked world in the Fifth Domain that was similar to the underworld. All the creatures living there had very high flame resistance, and the Phoenix had grown to enjoy the taste of one of the mouse species on that world! Jason just shrugged, and he told Helios that they would go there when he came back. Helios finally accepted Jason’s offer, and he flapped his wings and went over to sit beside Harold!
Harold was a little surprised by the entire interaction, but in the end, he simply greeted Helios by rubbing its soft fur, and Helios stood proudly and allowed the commoner to pet him!
Jason waved as he finally walked out, and Harold could only smile as he watched Jason go. Even though this was the first time Harold and Jason had ever spoken face-to-face, Harold had already analysed Jason and figured out exactly what sort of person he was. Jason was honestly far too similar to their father, but there was a wisdom in Jason’s actions which their father lacked for a long time.
From the stories Harold had heard, it was only recently that Richard became the wise and dependable person that they all knew him as. Back during his youth, Richard had been very troublesome and strong-headed, and no one could ever advise him on anything because he believed he was the best. That was a flaw that Jason did not have. Maybe it was because Jason was born as a weak human, so he could understand the position of the weak better, but Jason was truly far too wise for how young he was.
’If he continues to grow this well, then he would make a good king. I’m sure of it.’
Harold pat Helios’ feathers again with a smile as he thought about this, but Harold put that aside for now. Harold would think about all that after they were done dealing with the Celestial of Death.

[The World of Arandelle]
[With Farlow]
The Third Domain was not in as much of a rush as the rest of the Primordial Expanse to evacuate the worlds. Although Farlow had also gotten the warning message from C’thlyanu, Farlow knew that it would take at least two weeks for Death to reach the Second Domain, so rather than rushing to evacuate the worlds and putting fear into the hearts of his people, Farlow was currently having a meeting with all the leaders of his Elder Worlds to try and come up with a way to reseal Death once and for all.
"None of our spirit seals will work. I remember they tried using it during the Celestial Hunt, but it failed."
"But we’ve made a lot of progress in our magic since then."
"It doesn’t matter. Death does not care about the progress we’ve made."
"I spoke with one of the Spirits living in the forest recently. I don’t think they are interested in helping us stop this at all. The Celestial’s power works on them too, so they won’t be going anywhere near it."
Farlow sat at the head of a large table in the middle of a massive meeting room, and he listened as the leaders argued amongst themselves on what they needed to do about the Celestial of Death! Farlow knew that he needed to be having this conversation with the leaders of other domains as well, but most of the domains out there were already being evacuated, so the leaders were very busy right now! Farlow decided that he would send out whatever information he got to the leaders after they were done with their meeting.
One of the Elder World leaders at the table stood up and spoke in a hard tone.
"Is there no record of the seal that was used to trap Death before? Why can’t we just replicate it and use it again?"
The person who spoke was a tall, red-skinned woman with a mean-looking face. She turned towards Farlow when she asked this, and she expected an answer from him. Out of all the leaders here, Farlow was the only one who was alive during the Celestial Hunt thousands of years ago, so if anyone would know how to replicate the seal, then it should be him! But Farlow just shook his head.
"The seal that was used to trap the Celestial of Death is not impossible to replicate. That’s not the issue at all. The issue is getting Death into the seal in the first place. The only reason we were able to trap Death during the Hunt was because we tricked it into entering the seal on its own. But now, Death already knows that we are capable of tricking it, so it won’t fall for the same method twice. If we are going to deal with Death, we need to find a way to either kill it or overpower it."
One of the men at the table scoffed when he heard Farlow say they had to kill Death! It was such an outlandish thing to say, and they all knew that no one was stupid enough to get close to Death to even try and kill it!
"I heard that the Sky Raider Army from the Ninth Domain tried to seal it using a PRIMORDIAL Ranked artefact."
Another man spoke up from Farlow’s left side, and Farlow turned to him in surprise. The man was a centaur who was sitting on his hooves, and he folded his arms as he spoke.
"We all know how fearsome their army is, but I don’t think they understood what they’re going up against. We haven’t heard anything from the army in close to two days now."
The Sky Raiders were a fearsome army from a dystopian world known as Remen. The army was made up of some of the most fearsome warriors in any domain, and during the Period of Lawlessness, they were known to invade and take control of any world close to them! The members of the army were so powerful that it was said that just an army of ten men was enough to completely subdue a Rank III world on their own, and a thousand men would take over a Rank IV world in mere days!
But all of that had ended after the Period of Lawlessness passed. The Sky Raiders had no choice but to listen to the instructions of the council and put down their weapons, but even though they were no longer raiding other worlds, they were still seen as one of the most powerful armies in the Primordial Expanse!
But unfortunately, the Sky Raiders were led by a fool who thought she had the power to defeat Death, and when she heard about the disaster approaching them, she organised a group and sent them out to try and seal Death in a Primordial Artefact! The leader believed that by sealing Death she would gain enough power to go against the council, and she could try to take over the Primordial Expanse again! But now, there was absolutely no communication from any of the Sky Raiders!
The entire hall went silent as they realised just how serious this situation was! If even the powerful Sky Raiders could be killed without any effort at all, then they stood no chance of surviving against this beast!
Farlow finally spoke up after a few seconds.
"We must begin preparation for the evacuation. There are fifteen hundred worlds in the path of the Celestial of Death, and they must all be transferred to adjacent worlds. All Elder Worlds that are in charge of those sections of the domain are to send requests for anything they might need to the finance department of Arandelle."
