Volume 5: The Cataclysm Chapter 17: Choice
When the shadow of the Archon of the Underworld appeared, everyone's face was shocked.
Especially the people in Fenan's camp. If they were not restricted by the rules and could not transcend the power of order and enter the Molten Fire Realm, they would have rushed in long ago!
The world of the dead is a mysterious and complex force in the entire multiverse.
They rarely come into conflict with other worlds. They really are like ghosts, silently maintaining the only order.
No one knows what the place where the dead gather is like.
In Fenan, the souls of normal people cannot be reincarnated; only souls that are strong enough to resist the world of the dead can continue to reincarnate like the God of Truth.
Of course, the case of the God of Truth is a special case. Not only is she constantly reincarnated, but she is also bound by the curse of a powerful being.
That powerful being, according to the God of Truth, is most likely Lance himself.
And the souls of other people, once they reach the world of the dead, will become part of it.
All these years have passed, and nothing has changed.
The kings of the world of the dead rarely interfere in the affairs of the human world. Although they have their own spokespersons and clones in Fenan, no one knows what their purpose is.
After all, for Fenan or other forces in the universe, the necromancers themselves are already very mysterious, and the world of the dead they serve or escape from is even more of a place where there is no return.
But at least, everyone present understood one thing.
There is only one situation in which the Archon of Hades appears to Finnan - and that is when he is about to take away a very important soul!
For a strong man like Marvin, his soul is too heavy and the Candlelight Boat cannot bear the weight of his soul, so when he dies, the Archon of the Underworld will appear.
Back in the Pusen plane, Marvin had already had a close encounter with the Archon of Hades. If Shadow Thief Owl had not arrived in time, he might have already gone to the world of the dead.
And at this moment, he once again faced a life-and-death crisis.
At this time, he finally realized that the consequences of fighting with a strong man at the level of the Lord of Purgatory could no longer be judged simply by the use of force!
Even if it was just a clone, even if Marvin defeated the other party in the battle for bloodline, the other party still had the ability to die together with him.
This horrible curse is making Marvin's body get colder and colder.
His knees even showed signs of petrification.
This proves that the curse is not only extracting his soul, but also trying to solidify the power of order in his body!
And when the power of order solidifies to the extreme, Marvin will become an eternal diamond!
“We have to do something!”
Jessica said anxiously.
Because of the Mark of Apocalypse, she could feel that Marvin was getting weaker!
Unfortunately, although the power of the Apocalypse Warlock can ignore most laws, it is still not enough in front of the domain of the Lord of Purgatory!
"Unless... the power of the plane's will is used..." Jessica gritted her teeth, her eyes wavering.
She has always been a decisive person, but this time, she was surprisingly hesitant.
She didn't want Marvin to be defeated by this curse, but the power of the plane's will, even if borrowed by the Apocalypse Warlock, would come at a great cost!
"Damn, if only Benny were here."
Every time at this time, she would start to miss the lucky elf who seemed arrogant but actually helped them so much. It was like this when she was underground and faced the martyrs, and it was the same today.
The life created by the Slate of Destiny possesses vast knowledge that others cannot imagine.
She subconsciously wanted to use the Mark of Apocalypse to ask Bending for help, but at this moment, the copper dragon beside her gently lowered its head:
“We have to have faith in Marvin.”
The professor's voice was firm and magnetic: "The curse of the Lord of Purgatory cannot harm him. The enemies we should be wary of come from all directions. Perhaps we should consider whether someone will attack Marvin when he walks out of the Molten Fire Realm and is very weak."
As soon as these words were spoken, Fenan and his group immediately surrounded the molten fire area involuntarily.
After hearing this, everyone in the Heavenly Kingdom couldn't help but laugh bitterly.
The eighteen top warriors all shook their heads silently and took many steps back.
Some of the servants even cursed in their hearts: Who dares to attack Marvin now? Doesn't he want to live? Didn't you see that even the God of Rage was chopped into pieces by that vicious guy?
Even the God of War doesn't buy into this. There really aren't many people left in this universe.
The absolute strength and courage displayed by Master Kang En has completely shocked everyone present.
At a time when the gods were busy fighting the star beasts, the unprecedented unity and strength shown by Fenan's camp had already suppressed other forces from all over the universe.
If the Molten Lord's clone had not been driven back by Diloth, the situation would probably have become one-sided.
After all, on Fenan's side, the number of powerful quasi-plane guardians was unexpectedly large, and these people were not afraid to go against the gods. They had never expected such courage.
They didn't dare to launch a surprise attack on Marvin!
Now the only thing they prayed for was that Marvin was really taken away by the curse of the Molten Lord!
Although this prayer may be a bit far-fetched.
If Marvin was really someone that both the God of Truth and the Lord of Scorched Earth valued, then how could they watch Marvin die under the curse of the Molten Lord?
"Even if the curse can't kill him, at least we can contain this terrifying guy."
This is the only common thought in the minds of the servants of the heavenly kingdom.
…
In the molten fire realm, Marvin's condition continues to deteriorate!
He never thought that his body would be so weak.
The resistance of various legendary fields could not stop the deterioration of the body. The whispers from the Archon of Hades were already close at hand:
"You cannot stop the laws of the Lord of Purgatory."
"Your soul is very strong. Give up struggling and follow me to the world you are meant to go to."
"You'll get everything you want there. Don't worry, it's not as bad as you think."
To Marvin's surprise, there was a hint of temptation in the grin of the Archon of the Underworld.
His cold breath directly penetrated Marvin's soul, and Marvin felt dizzy!
"Damn Deros!"
"He gave me the Molten Lord's clone, but he didn't tell me that this guy could also die together!"
Ma Wen had cursed his unreliable grandfather countless times in his heart.
Fortunately, at this time, he had reached the edge of the molten fire field!
All he had to do was take the next step and he would be free.
Under the dual protection of the Book of Wisdom and the Book of Naaru, Marvin didn't believe that the curse of the Lord of Purgatory could overwhelm the artifact left by the God of Wisdom!
However, this one step away seemed to have become an insurmountable chasm.
The power of the curse continued to penetrate, and he found that his feet could no longer move!
"Damn it!" He tried to mobilize all the power he could, including the power of apocalypse, but all failed!
At this moment, Ma Wen suddenly realized that there were still many things in this world that he did not understand.
He just felt himself getting weaker and weaker.
His body was burned by the black flames until nothing was left.
There were only two things left: one was the golden Libra mark, and the other was the ferocious three-eyed devil.
They represent the God of Truth and the Lord of Scorched Earth respectively.
"They all really left their marks in me."
Marvin smiled bitterly.
At this point, he might have no choice but to ask these two people for help.
But who can I turn to?
This is a question worth thinking about.
…
Nine levels of hell.
"This is a bit rash and very reckless for you to do."
On the cold throne, a man smiled gently.
However, his tone was extremely creepy.
At the bottom of the endless stairs, a little girl stood there, looking at him prettily.
There was only curiosity in her eyes, not fear.
"You are the first Lord of Purgatory to violate the agreement since the creation of the Nine Layers of Purgatory. If we talk about recklessness, you are ten thousand times more reckless than me."
Jasmine said calmly, "Shall we make a bet?"
"I didn't expect that the God of Truth also likes to bet." Diluosi smiled and said, "Aren't you afraid that I will take action to keep you here?"
Jasmine was fearless: "There are many people who want me dead, but unfortunately even Lance couldn't do it. Do you think you are stronger than Lance?"
Di Luosi laughed, and the previous cold atmosphere suddenly disappeared.
"We were not enemies."
His tone became somewhat ambiguous: "In some ways, we are still very similar; at least we are both still curious about the world."
Jasmine was unmoved: "But you are too curious. You shouldn't start a civil war in Purgatory at this time. We all know the original intention of the establishment of Purgatory."
"So?" Diluosi twitched his eyebrows: "You just proposed this bet? If you win, you want me to be quiet for a while?"
"Be still for a hundred years." Jasmine said firmly, "Let's bet on will choose."
"We all know that he has to make a choice or he will die."
"Compared to a devil like you who has no credibility at all, I think he will turn to me for help."
Diluos laughed and showed a playful look:
"Do you really think he would choose this?"
Jasmine said calmly, "You can bet that he chooses you."
Who knew that Diluosi smiled lightly and said something shocking: "I accept the bet; if you lose, you can leave on your own and you are not allowed to interfere in the affairs of Purgatory."
"But I wouldn't bet on Marvin picking me."
"I guess... this guy won't choose either of us."
After these words came out, Jasmine finally frowned.
…
Fenan, in the molten fire realm, Marvin finally made a decision.
His eyes swung back and forth between the two marks, and finally stopped.
"I hope you can help me."
He said silently in his heart.
