**Chapter 984: The Tragic Post-Death Celestial Dragons!**
Standing amidst the volcanoes, the incredibly stuffy Enma King City.
The atmosphere in the city was extremely oppressive and heavy at this time.
This was because everyone had heard the news that a force calling itself the Underworld Army under the World Government had annihilated three hundred thousand Enma Army soldiers and five hundred Black Robed Shinigami at the West Underworld River Mouth and was approaching the city.
At first, few people believed this news, treating it as a ridiculous joke.
But as time passed and the rumors intensified, more and more residents in the city had no choice but to believe.
After all, the relatives of the three hundred thousand annihilated Enma Army soldiers basically lived in Enma Castle.
Although they appeared as skeletons in the military, they would recover their human appearance from when they were alive upon returning home.
This was because King Yama believed that skeletons looked more terrifying, and his subordinate army should inspire fear. Therefore, both the Enma Army and the Shinigami Army were in the form of skeletons.
And the Giant Army led by Eren could not have truly slaughtered all three hundred thousand Enma Army soldiers; a portion must have successfully escaped the battlefield, allowing a large amount of news to be transmitted back into Enma Castle via Den Den Mushi.
This made many residents in the city feel incredible, and the shock spread like a virus to every spirit.
In fact, after days of spreading, even the towns and cities of various sizes distributed outside Enma Castle knew about this matter, causing many Demons and Ghosts to cry out in exclamation and stir up commotion.
However, what shocked them the most was not the annihilation of the three hundred thousand Enma Army soldiers, but the fact that the invader was the World Government.
The World Government!
Except for the spirits born in this Netherworld, everyone else was a Sea Star person when they were alive!
This led to each spirit having a different attitude towards the World Government.
The majority of them felt great disgust, even hatred, towards the World Government, which was naturally understandable.
After all, the World Government's changes had only just begun five years ago.
In other words, only spirits who had died and arrived in the Netherworld within the last two or three years, or those who had once been Marines, or spirits who had worked for the World Government, had a certain possibility of developing favor towards the World Government.
This directly resulted in the World Government having a very bad reputation in the Sea Star Netherworld!
They originally thought that after they died, they had finally escaped the World Government, and would occasionally curse them freely with other spirits.
They even dared to wildly insult and attack spirits who were Celestial Dragons in their past lives, yet they never expected the World Government to suddenly appear again. This was the Netherworld, the nation of the dead!
Incredible! Unbelievable!
Speaking of which, spirits who were Celestial Dragons in their past lives were truly miserable once they arrived here.
After all, most of them died of old age. Having been Celestial Dragons their entire lives, their personality and temper could not change immediately.
So, even in this Netherworld, some of these 'exceptional' individuals dared to demand that all spirits kneel before them.
But here with King Yama, Celestial Dragons were nothing. They didn't even have the qualification to live in Enma Castle.
They could only wait for their reincarnation time in the wilderness or other towns, along with the majority of souls.
Of course, there was also a high probability of becoming food for various powerful ghosts.
So, it could truly be said that however comfortable these Celestial Dragons were in life, they were just as full of suffering after death.
Basically, every spirit who encountered them would use every means possible to torment them.
Finally, they would suffer soul annihilation amidst wailing, with absolutely no chance of reincarnation!
Of course, there were also smart people among the Celestial Dragons who knew how to hide themselves.
However, whatever clothing a person wore when they died is how their soul appears in the Netherworld.
Although there were definitely no bubbles, that characteristic Celestial Dragon clothing was too conspicuous.
There was simply nowhere to hide.
Not to mention, there were also some factions here specifically targeting new Celestial Dragon spirits.
They would capture these Celestial Dragons shortly after they left the vicinity of the Black Robed Shinigami and then sell them to those who wanted to torment them.
However, there were still risks, as some experts also existed among the Celestial Dragons.
As mentioned before, the ability of a Devil Fruit cannot be brought in after death, but strength like Haki, Martial Arts, and Swordsmanship can.
Hmm, perhaps this was the potential reason why most Celestial Dragons didn't like eating Devil Fruits?
In any case.
The World Government's large-scale invasion of the Sea Star Netherworld caused panic throughout the Netherworld for a time.
Meanwhile, the residents and soldiers in Enma Castle placed their hope on the Shinigami Army and Sanast.
They hoped that Sanast and the three thousand Shinigami Army soldiers he led could defeat the enemy and bring back the good news that the so-called World Government Underworld Army was actually just a bunch of nonsensical guys falsely claiming the title.
And when they saw the streaks of black shadow rapidly flying through the air, the turmoil in their hearts immediately calmed down.
Because they knew that Enma Castle was garrisoned by five thousand Black Robed Shinigami!
And there were also over a hundred thousand Enma Army soldiers stationed in the castle!
However, when the armored skeleton soldiers on the city wall top and the Black Robed Shinigami floating in the air saw the farthest end of the pitch black earth between the two volcanoes in their line of sight.
A long black line slowly emerged, and under the gaze of the soul fire violently trembling in their eyes, it quickly turned into a rolling purple wave.
The Giant Army, seemingly capable of drowning everything, arrived with a rumble, their heavy footsteps echoing as they advanced mightily.
The entire city quickly fell into a vast dead silence.
Although there was a sufficiently wide and steaming lava pool below Enma Castle serving as a moat, it could not provide them with the slightest sense of security; instead, they felt chilled to the bone.
The Black Robed Shinigami immediately thought, where did Commander Sanast go?
Didn't Commander Sanast lead three thousand Black Robed Shinigami to the battlefield!
Why would these Giants still appear outside Enma Castle?
After all, facing Yama and Hashirama Senju, neither Sanast nor the three thousand Black Robed Shinigami could have had time to use a Den Den Mushi to send back news.
The Enma Army and Black Robed Shinigami inside Enma Castle could only hope that the lava pool below them could stop the enemy's advance now.
Although there were many Giants, few of them seemed capable of flying, and Enma Castle's city wall was a full hundred meters high; even Giants couldn't climb up.
However, what happened next left their skull heads dumbfounded.
From their viewpoint, the Giant Army, starting from the foremost part, actually disappeared into thin air as they walked!
But if any Black Robed Shinigami dared to take the risk and fly closer to observe, they would discover that the Giants were actually lining up and walking into a hazy purple domain.
In this domain, the seemingly scorching hot crimson magma had no temperature whatsoever and would not trap them; it was like the purest set pieces.
Only the high walls had a substantial obstruction effect.
However, shortly after the foremost Giant reached the city wall, a massive seventy-meter-high air door opened on the surface of the city wall.
Large numbers of Pure Titans, grinning foolishly, didn't think much of it and quickly ran in.
At the same time.
Inside the city wall, dense ranks of armored skeleton soldiers had already formed one massive formation after another, radiating an imposing aura and standing ready in formation.
Overhead, there were streaks of Black Robed Shinigami holding pitch black scythes.
But even in such a nervous atmosphere.
Everyone watched as the surface of the city wall before them suddenly opened a strange air door, revealing the purple gloomy domain inside, and then those Giants, over ten meters tall, wearing unified purple military uniforms!
At this moment, whether it was the Enma Army's skeleton soldiers or the Shinigami Army's Black Robed Shinigami.
They were all stunned!
They couldn't even react immediately, watching helplessly as those Giants ran out one after another...
A terror named 'Giant' began to spread within Enma Castle.
The slaughter within the city begins!
(Someone might ask why it's so miserable. A reminder: King Yama just pulled the experts to the Ninja World Pure Land. As for the rest, if any pop up, Yama and Hashirama Senju are responsible for dealing with them.)
