Thanos, who had already "cleared" once, started to play the "second round", and then found that many of the magically modified places in the "main world" had been restored here, but the timeline seemed to be much earlier.
————
The first stop after being taken away from Lothric City by the "porter" was the Undead Settlement.
As the name suggests, this is a village where the undead live together. They have died many times and their memories have become quite incomplete, but they still retain a certain degree of sanity and maintain the operation of the village with only the vague remaining memories.
When the last trace of reason disappears, they may become sluggish wandering souls, or they may launch blind attacks on everything around them. The former will be buried in body bags by the villagers, while the latter will be captured and imprisoned.
They were burned into ashes in an iron cage, but Ludos, the exile who lived in an abandoned temple outside the village, provided them with a new direction - "refining" them into "embers" that could slightly restore sanity and memory.
Although after its effect disappears, the undead will become more violent and one step closer to wandering souls, but even if it is just for a moment of peace, they are very keen to capture those "outsiders" for "soul refinement"
——After all, there are all acquaintances in the settlement, so it is difficult to attack, or maybe they have actually had several internal fights in the village, but have forgotten all of them.
However, even if they would attack outsiders out of instinct, they would not dare to take a step closer to an outsider like Thanos, except to watch from a distance.
As a result, when they passed through the undead settlement, they accidentally rescued an old couple who were being chased by "hospitable" villagers.
They were called Grerit and Loretta respectively. The old woman had lost a lot of her memory and looked dull. She only smiled at others, while the old man seemed very shrewd. It was he who noticed that the villagers' attitude was wrong.
He just took the old woman and ran away.
With the attitude of saving people to the end, Thanos and the fire-proof girl took the old couple out of the undead settlement, found a bonfire outside the village, and sent them back to the fire ritual.
Then, he caught the fleeing exile Ludos, broke his legs and dragged him back to his throne to serve as firewood. Perhaps, without the influence of the "soul refining" thing, the residents of the undead settlement
Will become a little more sensible...maybe.

Outside the Undead Settlement, there is the vast Forest of Punishment, with two main roads leading to the Deep Church and the Fortress of France respectively.
This forest is ruled by a tall, thin humanoid creature with lush hair that looks very much like a bird. However, they are inhumane and cannot communicate. They can't even tell the difference between the enemy and ourselves. Sano tried to use his momentum to drive back the enemy but failed.
Si had to pick up his skilled backstabbing again.
Thanos first chose the direction of the Netherworld Church. Relying on his "prophecy", he boasted to the fire girl that there were ancient mage ruins, Mofa apprentices who studied magic, and the strange "Crystalized Old Man". However, the entire ruins were empty.
It was empty, not only was there no crystallized old man, there were no wandering sinners either.
The Great Sage specially left a message to ridicule, and then explained that the twin "Crystal Sages" were still in the big library in Lothrik City and had not yet traveled out, and the secret agent of the Dragon Academy had not graduated from the secret agent major.
Thanos, who had made a mistake, went straight to the Deep Church, intending to catch Eldridge before he escaped, but failed. The salary king did not stay at all. According to the bishops who were knocked to the ground by Thanos,
According to the statement, Eldridge arrived at the Deep Cathedral Throat and tried to get them to go to Lothric City to seal the city gate and the entrance to the inner city to ensure that no one could "persuade" the prince to spread the fire again. After confirming that they could not do it,
Then he left, perhaps planning to find some thugs in his hometown.
After returning in vain, Thanos and the Fireproof Girl turned to the Fortress of Farlan, which was full of poisonous swamps.
According to the fire prevention girl, the Fortress of Fran and its surroundings did not originally look like this. It was just because the Casas underground cemetery below was connected to the abyss by Overlord Warnir, and the ground was reversely eroded into this appearance, so
, after confirming that the prince was unwilling to spread the fire, the "Monitor of the Abyss" returned here immediately.
Since there is Ludos at the Fire Sacrifice, it can still be burned for a while. Thanos originally did not intend to cause trouble with these salary kings, but the remaining nineteen still retain their sanity and have not been invaded by the abyss.
When the French Undead Team saw Thanos, their eyes turned red immediately and they rushed to chop him. Even the fire prevention girl couldn't persuade him.
After Thanos cut them all down, he thought about it carefully and realized that he who came from the dark universe was not deeper than the abyss? Of course, their status was not high enough to reveal his identity, but the problem was that Fran was not dead.
The team is a "collective" that "shares the blood of the wolf" and has a subtle resonance with Thanos, so that we can vaguely see the essence.
Later, when Thanos tied several of the most powerful members of the Farlan Undead Team back to the Fire Sacrifice, "Overlord Warnir", who was originally suppressed deep in the Casas Cemetery, emerged from the ground of the Farlan Fortress.
He came out and directly eroded the remaining French Undead Team, and also brought four giant flame demon subordinates with him.
Obviously, this "Abyss Overlord" who looks like a giant skeleton had a many-to-many idea, but he never expected that the French Undead Team had just been beaten up by Thanos and was extremely weak, and successfully escaped from prison in one fell swoop.
However, he himself stayed in the abyss for too long and was almost completely assimilated, and could only explore the area above the lumbar vertebrae.
After achieving the first goal, Wolnir, who was temporarily stuck and unable to leave, tried to trick other demons into obeying his command and launched an attack to occupy Lothric in order to obtain more souls to escape from the trap.
However, those flame demons have no affiliation with it, and there is no demon to listen to its plan at all. Two of the older ones said that they came out this time just to take revenge for being suppressed for so long. At this time, the idea was clear, and they returned
Abyss went to sleep, and a very large demon said that he was going to fight with the "Faran Old Wolf" who taught him the Faran Undead Team. The last one who had no pursuit claimed to go to the undead settlement to deceive the souls of the undead.
Afterwards, Overlord Wonir, who instantly became the polished commander, was beaten violently by Thanos who drove back, and was kicked back into the abyss.
Without this "node" connecting to the abyss, Casas is just an ordinary large cemetery. Thanos skillfully chopped down the living skeletons, small flame demons, abyssal undead swordsmen, and strange lava.
The crab and the giant sand devil finally arrived at the entrance on the other side of the necropolis, and saw the British-style city of Irushil located in the Cold Valley.
