Chapter - 3078

White Reaper's heart pounded wildly.

The strength of the Netherworld at present was on par with that of humans.

Yet, Manticore called them the "insignificant Netherworld."

Just how powerful and arrogant this manticore is? It's a mighty supreme being, and we must not anger it at any cost.

Manticore then uttered, "This is my question to the lot of you-do you wish to die or to live?"

White Reaper hastily pleaded, "Live! We want to live! Please spare our lives, Lord Manticore."

Manticore nodded. “As long as you do me a favor, I can spare your lives."

White Reaper quickly replied, "Just say the word, Lord Manticore."

Manticore instructed, "I want each of you to bring me a hundred living humans. I wish to consume their positive energy. If you can't accomplish that, I'll be left with no choice but to devour all of you. Even though you lack positive energy, I'm sure your flesh will still be quite delicious."

"Rest assured that we will definitely complete the task, Lord Manticore!" White Reaper agreed readily.

Isn't it just a hundred living people? What's so hard about that? The number of lives we've taken is no less than eight hundred, if not a thousand. We'd still agree even if it were a thousand humans, much less a hundred.

Subsequently, Manticore added, "Oh yes, only capture adult men because they have strong positive energy. Don't harm the women and children. Their positive energy is too weak. Besides, I still need them to propagate the human race."

"Understood!" White Reaper answered.

Manticore nodded. "Okay, go. Bring me living humans as soon as possible."

Suddenly, Raymond ventured, "Lord Manticore, there's something I wish to say, but I'm unsure if it's appropriate for me to do so."

"Spit it out," Manticore ordered.

Raymond asked, "May I ask if you escaped from Theos Island, Lord Manticore?"

Hmm?

Manticore curiously swept its gaze over the man. "How did you know I came from Theos Island?"

Raymond quickly replied, “It was reported to me by my subordinates. Presently, Great Marshal Zeke Williams has reached an agreement with the president. They will spare no effort to eliminate ancient demonic beasts that escaped from Theos Island."

Great Marshal Zeke Williams?

Manticore looked at Raymond curiously. "Who is that? Is he exceedingly powerful? Is he also a warrior of ancient?”

Raymond quickly shook his head. "He's not a warrior of ancient but of this era. He's not even over thirty years old, but his capabilities are formidable! Not long ago, he killed Petalblade in a single move, although the latter's capabilities could render him undefeated in the entire world."

Manticore scoffed, "In this era, only some hidden ancient supreme could pose a threat to me. Newly emerged warriors aren't qualified to beget my attention at all."

However, Raymond asserted, "You must not underestimate Zeke, Lord Manticore. After all, even Netherworld can't do anything to him now. Oh yes, he disappeared for a while some time ago. He was rumored to have gone to a mysterious place. We strongly suspect he went to Theos Island and gained a particular opportunity there, leading to him being so powerful now."

Oh?

Manticore fell into deep contemplation. "Zeke? And he went to Theos Island? I seem to have some recollection of him. Do any of you know if this Zeke has any interaction with Theos?"

White Reaper hurriedly interjected, "Theos once helped Netherworld deal with Zeke. But unfortunately, we ended up failing. I think Theos and Zeke are probably enemies."

Manticore's expression darkened. "I know who he is now. Back when Theos wanted to set us free, he tried his best to stop it, almost causing us to lose our chance at freedom. Hmph! This man is my enemy, and I must kill him to appease my anger. Figure out a way to lure him here. I want to take him down."

White Reaper's eyes lit up. He had not expected such a pleasant surprise.

His greatest worry previously was undoubtedly his fear that his abilities would not be enough for him to eliminate Zeke.
