Chapter 382 - 382: She was her own god
Garethor, Torin, Zarvox - these three names represented the Death Knight, the Necromancer, and the Ghoul respectively. They were former subordinates of the previous undead lord, and Alex was well aware of their existence.
Alex wasn't surprised to see Garethor. He was the highest-level being in the city, so it was only natural that he would be the first to sense her return.
Alex accepted Garethor's pledge of allegiance. The moment she did, Garethor regained his status as a race king, his level cap rising from Sovereign level back to Divine.
Both Garethor and Torin had contributed significantly to the undead empire, and Alex intended to reward them accordingly.
"Thank you for your grace, Queen."
Garethor expressed his gratitude once more. His appearance was indistinguishable from that of a normal human. Although undead, his state of being, like Alex and Xiao Hui, was that of a living person.
"Let's go. I've heard that Torin is severely injured. I'd like to examine him. Perhaps I can help."
As for the Zarvox, Alex would deal with him later.
Upon entering the main hall, she saw only a few dark elves and Xiao Hui, sitting alone on a chair. The other race kings were nowhere to be seen.
The moment Xiao Hui saw Alex, her eyes widened in disbelief, quickly replaced by joy.
She rushed towards Alex, throwing her arms around the girl.
"Miss Alex, you're finally back!"
Xiao Hui's voice trembled with relief.
"You've worked hard during my absence. You've managed the undead empire well."
Alex gently patted Xiao Hui's back, knowing how much she must have endured.
"It's nothing. As long as you're safe, that's all that matters."
Xiao Hui's face was radiant with joy. She now understood the immense burden of managing a vast undead empire, navigating the complexities of external relations, and attending to countless tasks.
Yet, Alex had never complained, always maintaining a cheerful facade, as if it were all effortless.
Xiao Hui quickly opened the system and notified everyone. The undead empire wasn't currently in a critical phase, so everyone was relatively free.
"Alex, you're finally back! Where have you been all this time?"
Ruby was the first to arrive, having rushed down from her room upstairs upon hearing the commotion.
"I was out exploring. Don't worry, I'm back now, and the Beastman Empire will pay for what they've done."
Alex now wielded multiple spheres (Powers of Laws). She had undergone significant changes during her absence and was supremely confident in her current strength.
Soon, Sophie, who had been engrossed in her re
Fortunately, Alex didn't currently need faith power. She was grateful for her good fortune.
If she hadn't left the undead empire and had chosen to engage in war with the Beastman Empire, she would have been forced to use faith power, which would have hindered her future ascension to godhood.
Alex had no desire to become a pseudo-god, nor did she need anyone's faith. She was her own god.
"There's no rush. I've thought of a solution. Everyone, please take a seat. I'll outline our next steps."
Alex wasn't in a hurry to heal Torin's injuries. She had been absent for a long time and needed to hold a meeting first.
Everyone quickly took their seats. This time, the massive round table was fully occupied, all eyes fixed on the beautiful face at the head of the table.
They waited patiently for Alex to speak. Her opening words, however, took them all by surprise.
