The Battle Queen They Blindly Kicked Out (Joanna) novel Chapter 486

Chapter 486 The Continent Reclaimed

Finished

Ghost fire froze mid-air across the entire domain. The death domain was first swallowed by the Blackhole Physique, then buried under Frozen Expanse.

By the time Gavy arrived. Joanna had already taken Mortis’s head. Alone.

“System Alert:…”

“System Alert: This corpse contains a large number of Epic-tier, Legendary-tier, and Mythic-tier modifiers. Extract? Extraction fee: 9.87 quadrillion Starcoins.”

“Extract.”

The fee was slightly less than what the Demon Supreme had cost her. But this kill was hers alone, which meant the entire payout was too. A windfall by any measure.

The system processed the extraction, and an invisible current passed from Joanna into Mortis’s body. Light bloomed across the corpse as modifiers tore free one after another.

Death. Darkness. Soul Burn. Death Summon.

The body quickly dissolved. When it was done, 900 Epic-tier modifiers, 100 Legendary-tier, and nine Mythic-tier lay sorted before her. Of the Mythic modifiers, there were three Soul Burn, two Death, two Death Summon, and two Darkness.

Joanna took the Soul Burn for herself. Troy received Death and Darkness. The remaining Death Summon went to Pierre.

It made sense. Of all her contracted companions, Pierre was the only one with a summoning-class skill in Myriad Form Array. The modifier might allow him to reshape how the array functioned entirely.

The system kept going.

Chapter 486 The Continent Reclaimed

Finished

Thirty million survivors. In Space Alliance terms, that was smaller than a large city’s population. The Deadwhisper Continent was vast enough to have birthed a god, which meant it had likely once held hundreds of billions of people.

Joanna exhaled slowly and made her selections.

The natural land was the obvious choice for maximum value, though the parcels weren’t contiguous. 12″ of it fell within a region called the Sacred Empire, where a statue left behind by a light-aligned deity had formed a divine domain that even Mortis hadn’t been able to breach. Five Mythic-tier light modifiers were still sealed inside it, untouched. An unexpected bonus.

And if this continent still held divine domain remnants, there were likely more Mythic-tier modifiers scattered throughout.

“Fan out and sweep for Mythic modifiers. Take anything worth keeping. Once the system assigns a new Dimension Lord, whatever’s left stops being ours.”

“Leave it to me!” Benjamin was already moving.

The others spread out without another word.

Gavy, who had arrived late and still slightly breathless, stood very still.

Her expression cycled through several things at once. Something raw and overwhelmed, something grateful, and underneath both of those, a deep and quiet awe.

“Summoner Joanna, you killed the God of Death alone. You saved the Deadwhisper Continent.” She paused. “It wasn’t always called that. Before all of this, we called it the Celestial Expanse.”

She’d assumed this would be a war of attrition. She’d made peace with the possibility that she might never see it end.

Yet who could have predicted that after barely a week away, Joanna would return like this, so overwhelmingly powerful. And what struck her most was that Joanna hadn’t brought a single deity to her aid. She’d done it on her own strength alone.
