Volume 8: Glass Chapter 699: Return to the Netherworld
A few days later.
The fairyland Tianyuan, the city of gods Abbasye.
In the center of the ancient city, a holy tree stood. On the high platform below, a gentleman in a black hat sat on the white throne. He raised his hand and waved.
Buzz——
The dark gold "New Year" cards floated and rotated, then transformed into fifty-four playing cards. The order of the cards changed at an extremely fast speed, and they flew around in an interlaced manner, and began to tell fortunes under the influence of the authority and status of the true God.
Soon, three cards flew out by themselves, lined up horizontally, and displayed in front of Chen Lun.
The eyes under the brim of the hat glanced at the cards to predict the future.
"Ms. Mia, the divination results are out."
He slowly stood up, took off his hat and saluted to a lady in a green dress beside the throne, then spoke softly.
"Madam Rose is still in the depths of the Netherworld and is in a weak state. But even so, this trip is still somewhat dangerous... I guess Marialena still has a trump card in her hand, which may pose a threat to us at the last minute."
“It must be some authority He holds.”
Miss Holy Tree Mia Mavis nodded, and a gentle voice came from the dark green gauze under the small hat worn at an angle.
After receiving Chen Lun's secret letter, he immediately agreed to participate in the hunt and agreed to carry out the action today.
"Although I have fought with Him for a whole era, I have never been able to completely defeat Him. The reason is this... It was the same reason why Marialena was able to survive the full-force attack of Lord Huan."
Miss Shengshu continued.
After hearing this, Chen Lun looked thoughtful.
The Path of Flesh and Blood excels at vitality, physical combat, and devouring abilities, and is extremely difficult to kill. As the end of this path, Madam Rose must have utilized this specialty to the extreme, and he had anticipated this.
But after hearing the evaluation of Mother Goddess of Nature, Chen Lun was still a little surprised.
He felt that he had underestimated Madam Rose's ability to survive.
"He was able to survive the full force attack of Lord Huan, and resist the attacks of Miss Saint Tree for an entire era with his seriously injured body. He is really strong... It seems that none of the old seven gods who survived are easy to deal with. I can't let my guard down."
Chen Lun thought.
He raised his head again and said to Miss Shengshu:
"Ms. Mia , if we work together this time, the chances of our success in completely killing Madam Rose are still quite high. However, I will need you to seal off the Netherworld to prevent any accidents."
"certainly."
Miss Shengshu agreed.
As the true God of the path of sorrow and joy, He knew very well what Chen Lun meant.
The only ones who could be considered as "accidents" by the two and who were qualified to intervene in this hunting operation were the other true gods.
Therefore, it is necessary to block the battlefield in advance.
And this is what Miss Shengshu is good at.
"In addition, I have sought help from Mr. Angela and Mr. Conrad, and asked them to keep an eye on the movements of Father Lie, Mr. Ni, and even the Brilliant Queen. If these three intend to intervene to help Marialena, then Mr. Angela and Mr. Conrad will stop them immediately to ensure that our actions will not be interfered with."
Chen Lun raised his hand and said calmly.
The playing cards suspended in the air quickly gathered together, rustling, and finally turned into a "New Year" card shining in dark gold. The infinity symbol flashed in the center, and then the whole card disappeared into Chen Lun's brows.
"Um."
Miss Shengshu nodded slightly.
Chen Lun put on his hat again, and an ivory carved cane appeared in his hand. He turned the cane and saluted Miss Shengshu.
"Ms. Mia, let's go. "
Just as the two were about to leave the fairyland and head to the underworld.
A female voice came from a distance:
"Wait, I want to go too!"
A hint of helplessness flashed across Chen Lun's eyes.
He had no choice but to turn around and look at his sister Chen Mo.
Lady Judelia, wearing a Gothic red dress and holding a small parasol with a butterfly pattern, came at an extremely fast speed. Behind her were two angels, Lady Silence and Lady Sigh.
"What's that expression on your face? Do you think I'll hold you back?"
Judith glanced at Chen Lun's expression and keenly sensed the hidden depression in it, so she couldn't help but glare at him and question him.
"You know what I'm going to do?"
Chen Lun asked softly.
"Don't be so mysterious. It's just to deal with that old woman Qiangwei... I happen to have a grudge against Him, so let's go together!"
Judelia said with her hands on her hips.
Chen Lun frowned slightly.
"This is a fight to the death at the level of a true god. There is actually very little you can do. If you are not careful, you may get hurt or even die..."
"Stop treating me like a little girl, okay!"
Judelia rolled her eyes, her tone discontented.
"I am the King of Angels after all. Margaret and Dominia are also first-class existences among the subordinate gods... Don't look down on me, brother."
"Jack, let the Three Ladies of Pain come with us."
At this time, Miss Shengshu beside her spoke softly.
Chen Lun couldn't help but turn his head to look, a puzzled look on his face.
"After all, the Netherworld belongs to Marialena. It is filled with rose clans and mythical creatures. Although they pose no threat to us, it will take time to deal with them... With the help of the three ladies, we can save some effort."
After hearing this, Chen Lun couldn't help but glance at his sister.
Judelia played with her ponytail, blew on the ends of her hair with a pouty mouth, and glared back fiercely.
"All right."
Chen Lun shook his head and had to agree.
He then looked at the two ladies, Silence and Sigh, nodded to them, and spoke politely:
"I'll trouble you on the way."
"Please rest assured, Your Majesty King Cang."
Sighing Lady Dominia smiled.
"If we were to face Madam Rose directly, I'm afraid we would not be qualified enough, but the followers and mythical creatures of the Netherworld are not a problem."
…
…
…
Miss Holy Tree and Madam Rose have been fighting for tens of thousands of years. Although they have not been able to completely kill each other, their respective powers have remained throughout the Netherworld.
The last time Chen Lun went to the Netherworld with Principal Hugo of Saint Byron College and Ibrahim, the Saint of the Stars, he saw huge scarlet vines like mountain ridges growing on the blood-stained land of the Netherworld.
At that time, he only knew that it was the incarnation of Madam Rose.
And this is just an appearance.
In fact, in the underground of the Netherworld, there are countless golden tree roots, which are exactly what Miss Holy Tree uses to control Madam Rose.
Madam Rose cannot move easily due to her own condition, and she must always be careful of the golden roots in the underworld. She has to release the incarnation vines on a large scale to fight against them.
Miss Holy Tree's move made it impossible for Madam Rose to concentrate on repairing her injuries, and she was always in a state of fatigue.
For this reason, Marialena hated the Mother Goddess of Nature.
The name of Flesh and Blood Path Sequence Zero is [God Oak]. Judging from the literal meaning, it means "a plant that parasitizes on God". It just so happens that Miss Holy Tree is listed as [World Tree]. The two are vaguely opposed and seem to be naturally incompatible.
However, it was precisely because of the countless roots that Miss Holy Tree left in the Netherworld that provided convenience for Chen Lun and others, and they descended into the Netherworld very easily.
The five people stood on the muddy scarlet ground, and Chen Lun raised his cane and waved it.
When the "secret" authority was exerted, their traces were instantly hidden.
"With the protection of Ms. Mia's roots and the cover of the power of 'secrecy', even if the Netherworld is Madam Rose's territory, it will be difficult for her to discover our presence in a short period of time."
Chen Lun said softly.
As he spoke, he twirled his cane and performed a high-powered divination.
The curved handle of the staff pointed northwest.
"Let's go."
After confirming the direction, Chen Lun took the first step.
He used his great power to teleport everyone on the road instantly. In just a few breaths, they had crossed most of the Netherworld and arrived above a blood swamp.
Above the swamp, there was a thick pink fog.
Visibility is extremely low.
This is the product of the Netherworld wonder "Aura of Skeletons" mixed with dozens of mythical pollens.
Even if a high-ranking saint or even a demigod dares to cross this red fog, he will be corroded by the fog in a short time and lose control in an instant.
What's more, there are countless rose clans and mythical creatures of the underworld such as the "Lord of Gluttony" wandering around, which is quite dangerous.
Chen Lun gazed dimly at the swamp and fog, and did not rashly use "Cloud Leap" again, because his spiritual intuition told him that doing so would inevitably expose himself and Miss Holy Tree's existence.
It is not conducive to quietly approaching Madam Rose and carrying out the assassination.
'Unfortunately, "No Traceability" can only be used on oneself. Otherwise, with the "Secrecy" power, there is still a certain chance of hiding it from Madam Rose's perception.'
Chen Lun thought.
"This should be a method arranged by Marialena for monitoring. If a strong enemy sneaks in, He will be able to detect it immediately."
Miss Shengshu floated in the air, overlooking the red mist and whispered.
The three ladies of pain looked at Chen Lun, as if asking what to do next.
"We are very close to where Madam Rose is hiding. Let's go in directly. If we encounter an enemy that we cannot avoid, Judith will take care of it... This way, even if Madam Rose finds out, she won't be able to see me and Ms. Mia."
Chen Lun said calmly.
Everyone nodded in agreement with the decision.
whoosh!
Five figures flew straight into the red fog of the swamp.
As expected, there were many rose clans wandering in the fog, most of them were "blood fairies", but these blood fairies had white bone butterfly wings on their backs, and were much more powerful than those Chen Lun had seen before.
More than ten of them can surround and kill a high-ranking saint.
If there are more than a hundred of them, even a demigod would have a hard time escaping unscathed.
In addition, there are some creatures with bone armor on their backs and densely populated limbs like the Anomalocaris. In the center of the bone armor on their backs is a long, columnar fleshy tentacle, and a suspicious scarlet liquid flows out of the end from time to time.
Some of the gigantic "Gluttony Lords" floated in the vast swamp, with half of their backs exposed, like drifting on an isolated island.
The spiral holes on their bodies expanded and contracted, swallowing up the diffuse mist, looking quite strange.
This is the deepest and most dangerous area in the underworld.
But the expressions of Chen Lun and the other four remained extremely calm from beginning to end.
"The blood demons roaming ahead are too dense to be bypassed. Judilia, you guys take action."
A pale infinity symbol flashed in Chen Lun's eyes. He saw the situation in the fog and the subsequent development of fate, so he said lightly.
"knew."
Judelia pouted.
