21st Century Necromancer-Chapter 616 - 612: Deciding to Return (Please Subscribe, Please Vote for Monthly Tickets)

The agreement that Chen Yu and Sherlock Holmes had reached was that he would be responsible for suppressing any "Prisoners" that refused to be managed, while Sherlock Holmes would, in turn, let Chen Yu take away five "Prisoners" as compensation.

However, as Chen Yu took action against Bloody Mary, it sparked a chain of events that led to the complete destruction of London, resulting in the escape of those "Prisoners." Consequently, the agreement between Chen Yu and Sherlock Holmes naturally became void.

With The City of London destroyed, the "Prisoners" previously confined within it seemed to have lost their restraints.

Some of the strange creatures and malevolent spirits that depended on The City of London for existence also saw their powers significantly diminished with the city's downfall. These beings, nearly as indestructible as Godly Abominations, suffered extreme weakness, although they were not destroyed, when the foundation they relied upon was demolished.

For example, Barber Todd on Fleet Street possessed near-legendary strength when he had his barbershop, and when he was with Mrs. Lovett with her pie shop next door, the two of them could even exhibit legendary-rank capabilities.

But with both the barbershop and the pie shop destroyed, their strength had fallen from legendary status.

In such a state, facing the united onslaught of the Royal Navy and the Knights of the Round Table, all of the "Prisoners" lost their ability to resist.

Beings like Jack the Ripper, Spring-Heeled Jack, Doctor Incarnation, and Frankenstein's Monster were originally extremely difficult "Prisoners" to deal with, but now, they were all sealed inside Chen Yu's bottles.

This was the greatest reward that Chen Yu obtained after returning from that space.

There were twelve bottles in total; two of them respectively contained The Great London Fog and Captain Kidd, while the remaining ten bottles included powerful entities like Jack the Ripper and Frankenstein's Monster.

Initially, Chen Yu had only planned to take five "Prisoners" as per the agreement, but after the insistence and persuasion of Sherlock Holmes and Lord Nelson, he accepted the ten "Prisoners" along with two he had earlier captured, as compensation for this incident.

"Husband, what do you plan to do with these 'compensations'? Just leave them in the bottles like this?" Hiromi Jounouchi played with the glass bottle containing The Great London Fog, much like playing with an hourglass. She watched the churning fog inside with great curiosity, wondering what Chen Yu intended to do with these "Prisoners."

For a Necromancer, these beings with at least a legendary essence, akin to Godly Abominations, were very rare and precious materials.

Although he didn't get the body of Morgan le Fay due to King Arthur, missing out on materials of at least demigod level, obtaining these current ones was still a very satisfying haul.

Chen Yu placed five of the bottles in front of Hiromi Jounouchi and tucked away the other seven bottles.

"I plan to use them to create some more powerful undead servants; these five are for you," Chen Yu had never before made such powerful undead servants, mainly because he hadn't had the right materials. But with these "prisoners" at hand, he could now put his ideas into practice.

Upon hearing this, Jounouchi Hiromi collected the five bottles in front of her. For Necromancers of the Blood School, creating undead servants was not as troublesome as it was for other Schools of magic. They simply needed to merge their enemies or materials with their own Blood River, and use the Blood River to recreate them when needed.

For Necromancers of the Blood School, souls were more important than bodies.

After they had divided their spoils of battle, Chen Yu was about to go for a stroll on the streets of London with Jounouchi Hiromi when his phone unexpectedly rang.

Answering the phone with some surprise, Chen Yu listened to the person on the other end and his expression became one of wry amusement.

"Okay, I understand. Please take good care of the two deities; we'll rush back as soon as we can." After hanging up, Chen Yu still shook his head helplessly, "Are all deities like this? I thought they would be dignified, but it seems I expected too much!"

"Husband, what happened?" Jounouchi Hiromi, seeing the odd look on Chen Yu's face after the call, asked him.

"It's nothing much, just that the Inari God has personally gone to Tokyo, and the Matchmaking God has caused a bit of trouble there," Chen Yu replied with a slight shake of his head, explaining the situation from the phone call to Jounouchi Hiromi before dismissing it from his mind.

After Chen Yu finished explaining the situation in Tokyo, Jounouchi Hiromi couldn't help but grow concerned, "If the Inari God has personally gone to Tokyo, doesn't that indicate the situation is more serious than we anticipated? Shouldn't we change our plans and head back earlier?"

"Go back earlier? Don't you want to continue our honeymoon trip?" Chen Yu asked with a laugh when he heard Jounouchi Hiromi's suggestion, half-serious and half-joking, "Besides, even if we go back to Tokyo now, what do you think we can do? Surely we can't just send Minami's soul off to Nirvana and completely eliminate the chances of her and Naoki becoming lovers, right? I wouldn't want to be that villain."

"But didn't this situation arise because of us? Shouldn't we do something to mitigate the impact of our actions at such a time?" Jounouchi Hiromi seemed to disagree with Chen Yu's approach, believing they had a significant responsibility for the situation and should take care of the aftermath.

However, Chen Yu did not agree with this perspective and shook his head, "The same question again, even if you want to do something about this situation, what can you do? Even the Matchmaking God and Inari God are focusing on tasting various delicacies in Tokyo right now, rather than dealing with the issue. Even if we rush back, we wouldn't be able to help."

"But, even if we can't be of help, isn't it a bit inappropriate for us to be enjoying ourselves while this is going on?" Jounouchi Hiromi tried to convince Chen Yu, but considering that it was their honeymoon trip, she patiently said to him, "Though it's true that this is our honeymoon trip, we have already visited Paris and London, and in London, we even went back to the Victorian Era and met so many legendary figures. I think our honeymoon is already fulfilling enough. We can always go to Italy some other time!"

"Go to Italy next time? Have you really decided to go back now?" Upon hearing Jounouchi Hiromi's decision, Chen Yu seriously considered it for a moment before nodding in agreement, "Well, if you insist, my wife, then after our London trip, let's head straight back to China. Once we've settled matters there, we'll go straight back to Japan."
