The six figures moved in unison, almost identically.

The Archon of the Underworld frowned, wondering why it was so difficult to collect a soul today.

One hellhound would be fine, but what about these six guys?

Why couldn't he sense any soul from them?

The six people seemed not to have seen the white shadow at all, and just surrounded Marvin.

Immediately, their expressions all changed: "Where's the soul?"

"Has he been taken away by Hades?"

The six people suddenly looked up, and each took out a milky white gem from behind!

When the governor of the underworld saw the gem, his heart trembled.

It's actually the Insight Stone!

And it’s six pieces at a time!

What on earth is going on with these people? Why are they taking such precious treasures in piles?

The Archon of Hades was getting a little restless.

Once the stone of insight comes out, one will surely reveal himself.

As expected, after the Stone of Insight burst out with a burst of white light, the six people's attention immediately focused on the Archon of the Underworld.

"hehe……"

"It seems not too late."

The six strange people stared at the Archon of Hades and said maliciously, "Hand it over?"

Bai Ying said angrily: "Who are you? How dare you go against the underworld?"

He noticed that the faces of the six people were extremely pale. They seemed to be agile in their movements, but they were like puppets without souls!

It's really weird to the extreme!

"Who am I?" The six people said in unison: "Who I am has nothing to do with you?"

"Hand over this boy's soul!"

"Otherwise, forget about going back to Hades!"

What a big tone!

The governor of the underworld just felt very depressed today!

He had come happily to reap souls, but was overtaken by a young hellhound. Just as he was about to teach the hellhound a lesson, six more arrogant and weird guys showed up.

Is the material world today so inexplicable?

No wonder my boss has been complaining recently that things are going to change... It's so troublesome to collect a soul myself, there's no way things won't change!

At that moment, his face turned stern, and the soul chains and heavy sickle behind him were faintly visible.

"If you really want to challenge the majesty of Hades, I will accompany you."

Unexpectedly, the six people rolled their eyes and didn't buy it at all. The other party said disdainfully: "The majesty of the underworld? I have challenged it a long time ago."

"I'm not interested in nagging you right now. Hand over that kid's soul."

The Archon of the Underworld was furious and was about to take action, but the hellhound beside him suddenly started barking!

The six people were stunned for a moment, and then they noticed that there was a hellhound squatting next to Marvin's body!

Under his surprised gaze, the hellhound suddenly spat out a ball of soul mist.

The soul mist was floating around, and it was Marvin's soul!

The six people showed joy on their faces: "There is still hope!"

However, at this moment, the Archon of the Underworld took action.

He would not allow the soul he favored to be taken away by force by others.

The six men snorted coldly, and one of them took out a scroll and tore it apart violently.

The next second , a black hole suddenly formed, and a powerful pulling force came from the black hole, and the target was the Archon of the Underworld!

"Oops! Advanced Exile Scroll!"

This thought flashed through Bai Ying's mind, and before the attack was released, he was sucked into the black hole!

In the blink of an eye, he returned to the world of the dead from the Pusen plane!

"Oh shit……"

"Who are those six weird guys?"

"The Stone of Insight is fine, but the Advanced Scroll of Banishment was used so casually. This is a scroll that is powerful enough to banish lord-level figures, and you actually used it on me?"

The Archon of Hades gave a wry smile.

Although he failed to capture the soul, he was not discouraged. Instead, he felt a sense of honor.

That's an advanced scroll of exile!

Faced with this situation, he had no choice but to admit defeat.

But what made him curious was who that soul was, and why someone would give up such a precious legendary scroll for him without hesitation!

…

Pson plane.

Marvin slowly woke up.

He felt his mouth dry and his head ached. He opened his eyes and saw a thin veil.

This is a bedroom in the inner courtyard of Nottingham Palace.

"woke up?"

A cold voice sounded beside his ears. Marvin looked up and saw that familiar face was actually——

Shadow Thief!

But at this moment, Xiao looked very pale.

"Paper man?" Marvin asked tentatively in a hoarse voice.

Xiao nodded slowly, his expression becoming serious: "You woke up pretty quickly. But the trouble is just beginning."

Marvin subconsciously tried to straighten up, but found that he could do nothing.

At the head of the bed, the hellhound barked, looking pitiful.

Not far away, two dark guards were guarding tightly. He also saw Nuonuo, who was blocked outside by the dark guards and looked worried.

Marvin withdrew his gaze and began to check his data panel.

As expected, he was in a severely weakened state. This time, it was even more serious than when he just crossed over.

Because not only were the character attributes weakened by 80%, there was also a scarlet handwriting under the panel:

[Curse Dusk: Remaining attack time (28 minutes)]

The curse had not yet touched Marvin, and he was not truly out of the life crisis.

"Aren't I already dead?" Marvin asked doubtfully.

"Thanks to your loyal hellhound." Xiao glanced at the hellhound at the bedside, "When I arrived, the governor of Hades had already arrived."

"He saved your soul, so my stand-in paper talent has room to shine."

After Xiao's explanation, Ma Wen suddenly came to his senses.

He was indeed on the verge of death because of the Black Death Curse, but because Owl arrived in time, he used the origami paper doll to die for Marvin.

"Listen, you are in great danger now."

Xiao said seriously: "I brought six paper substitutes this time, and I have already used one. But the paper substitute can only die for you, but it cannot remove the curse on you."

"That means you still have five chances to die."

Five chances to die?

Ma Wen smiled bitterly. Why does it sound so strange?

But he understood what Xiao meant.

The source of Dusk's curse is on his own body. The substitute paper man can only transfer the curse to the substitute at the moment the curse occurs, thus saving Marvin's life.

But as long as the root of the curse is not eliminated, Marvin's crisis will remain.

How difficult it is to lift the curse of dusk!

Even a powerful monk like Inheim is still receiving treatment from the Mother of All Things because the Curse of Dusk is too terrible!

"The only way is to return to Fenan. "

Xiao looked at Marvin coldly: "But the great wizard of this plane is not very skilled, and the construction speed of the plane lighthouse is too slow. It will take at least one day."

"You can't afford to delay."

Marvin was silent.

This time, he really underestimated Glenos's madness.

Those who are cursed by the twilight, let alone mortals, even gods, rarely survive.

Marvin shook his head slowly: "Is it too late?"

Xiao's eyes were complicated: "Not necessarily."

Ma Wen was slightly stunned.

"You are really good at getting into trouble. Last time, you almost scared us to death in the Rotten Plateau. This time, you came to conquer the secondary plane without even saying hello."

"Are gods really that weak in your mind?"

Xiao asked him coldly.

Marvin was speechless.

Since crossing over, he has been smooth sailing, and many times he has been walking on a tightrope and dancing on the edge of a knife. But the final winner is still himself.

This made him vaguely overconfident.

As his strength gradually increased, he began to become dissatisfied with the step-by-step plan.

Without waiting for the catastrophe to come, he rushed to attack the Pushen world and challenge the gods.

As a result, he was accidentally counter-plotted by the Shadow Prince and now his life is in danger.

…

Shadow Thief Owl's question left Ma Wen speechless.

I am indeed a little too crazy.

But in fact, this is Marvin's character.

If it were any other time traveler, he would definitely be very cautious and tread carefully on thin ice after traveling through time.

But Marvin was different.

He has the arrogance of a super master, he dares to change history, and he even has the gene for crazy adventure in his bones!

He longed for the thrill of walking between life and death crises.

This feeling was addictive.

In other words, although Marvin looked calm and steady, he was actually quite crazy at heart. Especially after several crazy plans succeeded, the adventurous factor in him started to act up again.

He thought that with his foresight, he could easily defeat the Shadow Prince.

This was indeed the case, the Shadow Prince's clone was killed by him.

But he did it at the risk of losing his own life!

Things are different now than in the past.

I died countless times in my previous life, but now with the halo of the Son of Gold in hand, I can play any role I want.

But in this life, once dead, you are dead.

If Owl hadn't come to rescue him in time and Hathaway hadn't noticed it in advance, Marvin would have been dead.

Thinking of this, his expression turned ugly.

…

"Why, are you scared now?"

Xiao sneered and said, "It's too late now!"

Marvin was silent.
