Chapter 6: Death Awakening (Passive) – When a combat unit/summoned unit under your command dies, it will immediately form a 10×10 meter "Death Explosion," dealing 15% of that unit's maximum health as "True Damage." The "Death Explosion" has a contagion effect; if an enemy target dies from this explosion, they will also trigger the same "Death Explosion" (300,000 combat units can trigger this bonus).
Tip: The six enhancement effects above can stack upon activation.
Title Effect 2: Death Monarch's Decree (Active) – The title wearer can command their combat units/summoned units to charge at the fastest speed toward an enemy target, causing these combat units/summoned units to undergo a "Death Explosion." The damage of this "Death Explosion" can stack based on the number of "Death Explosions."
Title Effect 3: Death Awakening (Passive) – When combat units/summoned units under your command are in battle, there is a 5% chance they will permanently be promoted to Elite units, a 0.1% chance to permanently be promoted to Leader units, and a 0.0001% chance to permanently be promoted to Lord units.
Tip: This promotion ignores potential and is certified by the Void Tree.
Tip: Once the promotion is complete, the promoted unit will immediately sign a permanent summoning contract with you, which only you can unilaterally terminate.
Tip: Sufficient "Permanent Summoning Slots" must be reserved; otherwise, the permanent summoning contract will fail to be established.
Description: The majesty of death is not to be challenged.
Price: Unsellable (can be sold after imprinting with Golden Resin).

This title didn't perfectly meet expectations, but it was usable. This was Su Xiao's main purpose for delving deep into the Dark Expansion Zone. His developing Endless Legion style was destined to be incompatible with developing "Lord's Aura." Or rather, he had a quality he considered quite good: self-awareness. So he wouldn't think that his 1360 points of Soul Strength could withstand the Soul Energy consumption from the "Lord's Aura" buffing billions of wild orcs.
It was also this self-awareness that made him feel that the Silver Lord, who once possessed the "Wild Orc Gene," had lost to the Scarlet Lord, who possessed the "Orc Warrior Gene." And now that he himself possessed the "Wild Orc Gene," it was impossible that a small trick would allow him to defeat the Scarlet Lord.
Even with his massive supply of Lord Core "food," he still felt it wasn't enough. In that case, a high-star Legion-type title was undoubtedly the best choice. The energy consumed by the buffs brought by wearing the title would be provided by whichever party certified the title.
The Void Tree certified the [Death Monarch] title. This way, buffing billions of wild orcs put no pressure on Su Xiao. As for exceeding the hidden maximum buff value set by this title, he was confident that even if this happened, it wouldn't cause problems with the title's effect buffs. He understood the Void Tree's certification rulings well enough; at most, he would receive a warning from the Void Tree, followed by deductions in Void Tree Reputation to make the user restrain themselves.
Generally, the maximum buff for a nine-star Legion-type title was 50 million combat units. "Extreme Refinement·1st Time" was 60 to 70 million, "Extreme Refinement·2nd Time" reached 90 million, "Extreme Refinement·3rd Time" was 200 million, and "Extreme Refinement·4th Time" was 350 million. For a Legion-type title "Extreme·5th Time," it was likely to have no upper limit on the number of buffed units.
As for which divine being tested the above data, it was said to be an old Undead System brother. His development method was summoning skeleton soldiers. Until his death, his lowest-level Undead unit, Skeleton Soldiers, had driven countless powerful enemies to despair.
This kind of certification ruling that deducted Void Tree Reputation was, for Su Xiao, a double blessing.
It kept the buffs of the [Death Monarch] title from disappearing, and he also wanted to see what levels existed below Void Tree Reputation -??? and whether reaching this unprecedented level would trigger achievement quests or something similar, just like that old Skeleton Soldier brother who dared to explore.
