Bart was born in Hell, and his master, Wizard Rooney, had also lived in Hell for a long time. They were already very familiar with the terrain of Hell.
Of course, even so, Bart was not 100% sure that he could be familiar with every place in Hell. That was because there were too many unknown things hidden in this strange place.
However, Bart was still relatively clear about where the River of Souls flowed through Hell. This was because Wizard Rooney had done in-depth research on soul and space magic. Because this was Hell, there was no place more suitable for such research than here.
But Doom did not have a guide like Bart. He could find this place entirely by relying on another method. Ghost Rider Kamibian Xiong relied on the memory of the Spirit of Vengeance in his body to find the general direction of the River of Souls.
The Spirit of Vengeance in Kamibian Xiong's body was a bit special. The Spirit of Vengeance in his body was related to the legendary East Ocean God System's Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva. It should be another consciousness of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva. Please don't get me wrong here. The East Ocean God System had some similarities with the China God System.
But the essence was specious. In the China God System, Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva was in charge of the reincarnation of Hell. And unlike other God Systems, the god in charge of Hell in the China God System was a genuine Lord God, or in the Western God System's point of view, the level of Heavenly Father.
He was also an upright god, not a demon like Mephisto or Lucifer. This was very, very rare. Most of the Lords of Hell in Hell were Great Demons, who had obtained divinity for some special reason.
Very few upright gods born with divinity would descend to Hell to become a Lord of Hell. After all, Hell was not a good place.
In the China God System, Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva was definitely the most special one. Although the Buddhist God System originated in India, there was no place for Buddhism in India today.
Like many other God Systems, the Buddhist God System also had its own Divine Kingdom. Only devout believers could go to the Divine Kingdom to live in the Western Pure Land after death. This was the same as Asgard. Only believers of Asgard could enter the Divine Kingdom.
Nowadays, the countries on Earth that believed in Buddhism were concentrated in East Asia. The largest number of followers was in China.
In the East Ocean God System, there was a God named Ksitigarbha who shared the same name. Although they shared the same name, there was a huge gap between their abilities and status.
Ksitigarbha of the East Ocean was just a small god, not even qualified to build a temple. Only a small Buddha statue of about thirty centimeters tall was erected by the roadside for passers-by to worship. In terms of status, it was about the same as the Lord of the Land.
Its main duty was to protect the safety of a house. However, in addition to the function of protecting the house, it was also responsible for protecting the safety of a house. The only thing this little God had to do with Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva was that he helped Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva guide the souls of the dead.
To be precise, this little Ksitigarbha should be called Ksitigarbha Boy or Ksitigarbha Envoy.
This was because the Spirit of Vengeance in Kanbian Xiong's body was closely related to Ksitigarbha of the East Ocean Divine System, and it also had the ability to summon dead souls. That was why Kanbian Xiong was able to sense the River of Souls.
However, the closer he got to the River of Souls, the stronger the interference he felt. First, the Spirit of Vengeance in his body was just the consciousness of a small god, and it had never gotten close to the River of Souls.
Second, the closer he got to the River of Souls, the more afraid the Spirit of Vengeance in Kanbian Xiong's body became. As the receiver of dead souls, it had a kind of reverence for the River of Souls, and it naturally did not want to get too close to it.
When he moved in a certain direction, Kanbian Xiong's position started to become chaotic, and he needed to accurately locate it. Dum, on the other hand, used another method.
There was a special storage box hanging from the waist of his armor. The box was not big, and it formed a relatively complete shape with the armor.
Inside the storage box were five metal balls the size of duck eggs. The metal balls shone with a silver-white luster, as if they had been chrome-plated and polished with a polishing cloth.
The most striking feature of the spheres was that they had a mirror-like luster. After Doom took out the sphere, he transferred a small amount of energy into the sphere through his armor. Irregular cracks appeared on the metal sphere that looked like a complete body.
Through the cracks, the entire sphere began to undergo a complicated transformation. The process was quiet, and it was as delicate as a work of art being opened.
A complicated hollow hole was opened, and one could only see a dark green light from the hole into the ball.
"What is this? It looks like a work of art. "Kim Pyong looked at the sphere in Dum's hand with interest.
"It's a soul collector. I think you've seen it before. Of course, it's a crude and primitive version. "Dum calmly reminded Kim Pyong.
Kim Pyong recalled that it should be the metal ball that Dum had thrown in when he was pacifying the violent entrance to hell.
"So you stuffed souls into these spheres? Unbelievable. "Kim Pyong clicked his tongue in wonder.
"Dr. Dum, I didn't expect you to be not only a genius in science, but also quite accomplished in mysticism."
Dum wasn't too shocked by Kim Pyong's praise. He continued to speak calmly. "When I met those monks in China, I knew that there was another world outside this one."
"Any intelligent person would be eager to explore the unknown. And I'm no exception. "
"Rumor has it that the closer one is to the City of the Dead, the easier it is for souls to be attracted. Otherwise, it's very likely that they'll drift aimlessly in hell for several years. However, after souls are extracted by the City of the Dead, they escape very quickly. It's very difficult for us to find the City of the Dead based on souls, unless there's a considerable number of souls to form a route for us. So I'll take the liberty to ask, Dr., how many souls are there here? "Kim Pyong appropriately expressed his concern.
"More than three hundred thousand." Dum Mu uttered a shocking number calmly.
"Clap clap clap." Kim Pyong couldn't help but clap. "There must be many souls who died in the war in Eastern Europe."
"When did you start to care about the lives of unrelated people? These people aren't my subjects. I don't care, and I'm sure you don't either, Kim Pyong. "Dum's words made Kim Pyong clap even more enthusiastically, and he kept nodding at Dum in agreement.
In a sense, the two of them had too many similarities. Especially when it came to achieving their goals by hook or by crook.
Dum had special equipment that relied on energy fluctuations to detect the whereabouts of the souls that escaped from the Soul Cage. In his eyes, these escaped souls erected conspicuous signposts for him.
When Dum could already see the colorful River of Souls from afar, the inspection monitor built into his helmet instantly overloaded and short-circuited due to detecting an immeasurable amount of soul energy.
However, because Dum had considered safety issues when designing, the small explosion that occurred in the helmet did not hurt him. However, Dum could still smell the stench of the circuit board burning. It might take some time to disperse the smell.
"The City of the Dead is a river?" According to Dum's last inspection, those souls should have gone to the colorful river.
"Lucifer won't tell me everything without reservation." Kim Pyong stood beside Dum. This time, he didn't wear his usual white suit on this trip to Hell. Coming to Hell like that was courting death.
For this operation in Hell, he had long prepared his outfit. A set of power armor that was 2.5 meters tall and weighed nearly 700 kilograms, like a small mountain. It was a bit like the MK1 that Tony first designed. Of course, there was still a huge difference between the two.
It was unknown where Kim Pyong got it. One must know that Tony's armor was not for sale, and Dum wasn't kind enough to make a set of armor for Kim Pyong. At the end of the day, the two were just using each other.
"But this river should have something to do with the City of the Dead. Even at this distance, I can still feel the powerful energy fluctuations. Maybe we can find the City of the Dead along this river, "Dum muttered to himself and speculated.
His conjecture was basically correct.
"Let's go to the vicinity of the river first, but let's let some cannon fodder go first to see if there's any danger." Dum had already made such a decision.
The cannon fodder he mentioned were the ninjas and the ninjas. Dum and Kim Pyong had no pity for these ninjas. At the end of the day, they were just a group of living dead. Even their souls were incomplete.
In fact, along the way, the closer they got to the River of Souls, the more ninjas and the ninjas began to collapse. Because their broken souls were not stable in their bodies at all.
The closer they got to the River of Souls, the more souls were directly extracted and thrown into the cycle of reincarnation.
And in a place where Dum and the others were not paying attention, Li Jie and the others slowly approached with the help of the invisibility equipment.
"Let those ninjas leave first." Li Jie saw that under Dum's order, the ninjas and the ninjas were like marionettes, walking in the direction of the River of Souls.
"These ninjas won't be any threat." Tony spoke to Li Jie from a short distance through the communication device in the armor. Although they were very close, it was stupid to speak directly in the air at this time and expose their target.
"Let them fend for themselves, so we don't have to do anything." Li Jie had already discovered that these ninjas were not normal.
When the ninjas were already far away, and Li Jie and the others were only about three kilometers away from Doom, Li Jie and the others suddenly stopped.
According to the original plan, everyone began to move.
