The six figures moved in unison, almost exactly the same.
The Underworld Consul frowned. Why was it so troublesome to collect souls today?
It was fine if it was just a Cerberus, but what was up with these six fellows?
Why couldn't he sense any souls from their bodies?
The six of them did not seem to notice the white shadow at all, only minding their own business as they surrounded Ma Wen.
Their expressions immediately changed, "Where's the soul?"
"Could it be that the Underworld has taken it away?"
The six of them suddenly looked up, each of them taking out a milky white gem from behind their backs!
When the Underworld Consul saw the gem, his heart trembled.
It was the Stone of Insight!
And there were six of them at once!
What was going on with these people? How could they take such precious treasures in piles?
The Underworld Consul could not sit still.
Once the Stone of Insight appeared, he would definitely be revealed.
As expected, after the Stone of Insight emitted a burst of white light, the six people's gazes immediately focused on the Underworld Consul.
"Hehe …"
"Looks like it's not too late."
The six strange people stared at the Underworld Consul and said maliciously, "Hand it over?"
The white shadow said angrily, "Who are you? How dare you go against the Underworld? "
He noticed that the six people's faces were extremely pale. Although their movements were agile, they were like soulless puppets!
It was extremely strange!
"Who am I?" The six people said in unison, "What does who I am have to do with you?"
"Quickly hand over this kid's soul!"
"Otherwise, don't even think of returning to the Underworld!"
What arrogance!
The Underworld Consul only felt that today was a very frustrating day!
Originally, he had happily come to collect souls, but a young Cerberus snatched the opportunity. Just as he was about to teach this Cerberus a lesson, who knew that six strange and arrogant fellows would appear.
Was the current Material Realm so baffling?
No wonder his boss had been nagging recently, saying that the world was going to change … It was already so troublesome for him to collect souls, it would be strange if the world did not change!
He immediately put on a straight face, the soul chains and the heavy scythe behind him faintly discernible.
"If you really want to challenge the dignity of the Underworld, I will naturally accompany you."
Unexpectedly, the six people rolled their eyes and did not buy it at all. They said disdainfully, "The dignity of the Underworld? I've already challenged him. "
"I'm not interested in talking to you right now. Hurry up and hand over that kid's soul."
The Underworld Consul was furious. Just as he was about to make a move, the Hell Hound suddenly started barking!
The six of them were stunned for a moment. It was only then that they noticed that there was actually a Hell Hound crouching beside Ma Wen's corpse.
Before his shocked gaze, the Hell Dog abruptly spat out a clump of Soul Mist.
That cloud of soul mist was drifting about. It was Ma Wen's soul!
The six of them were overjoyed. "There's still hope!"
However, it was at this moment that the Underworld's Archon made his move.
He would not allow the soul that he fancied to be forcefully taken away by others.
The six of them snorted coldly. One of them took out a scroll and tore it.
The next second, a black hole suddenly formed. A powerful suction force came from the black hole, and its target was the Hell Archon!
"Crap! An Advanced Banishment Scroll!"
This thought flashed through the white shadow's mind, but before it could release its attack, it was directly sucked into the black hole!
In the blink of an eye, he returned to the world of the dead from the Pousson Plane!
"Damn it …"
"Who the hell are those six weird guys?"
"Forget about the Stone of Insight, they even used the Advanced Banishment Scroll so casually. This is a scroll that can be used to banish a Lord-level character, and they actually used it on me?"
The Underworld's Archon laughed bitterly.
Although he did not manage to catch that soul, he was not very discouraged. Instead, he faintly felt a sense of honor.
That was an Advanced Banishment Scroll!
In this situation, he could only admit defeat.
However, what made him a little curious was who that soul was. Someone actually did not hesitate to give up such a precious legendary scroll for him!
…
Pousson Plane.
Ma Wen slowly woke up.
He only felt that his mouth was dry and his head was aching. He opened his eyes and saw a light gauze curtain.
This was a bedroom in the inner courtyard of the Nottingham Palace.
"Awake?"
A cold voice sounded in his ear. Marvin took a quick look and saw that the familiar face was actually —
Shadow Thief Owl!
But at this time, Owl looked very pale.
"Paper man?" Ma Wen asked tentatively in a hoarse voice.
Owl nodded slowly and began to look serious, "You woke up quite quickly. But the trouble has just begun. "
Ma Wen subconsciously wanted to straighten up, but found that he could not do anything.
At the head of the bed, the hellhound barked and looked pitiful.
Not far away, two Dark Guards were guarding him. He also saw Nono, who was blocked out by the Dark Guards and looked worried.
Ma Wen retracted his gaze and began to check his data panel.
Sure enough, he was in a seriously weakened state. This time, it was more serious than when he had just transmigrated.
Because not only was his character attributes weakened by 80%, there was also a scarlet word below the panel:
[Curse-Dusk: Remaining time to activate (28 minutes)]
The curse had not been touched, and Ma Wen was not really out of danger.
"Am I not already dead?" Ma Wen asked doubtfully.
"It's all thanks to you, loyal Hellhound." Owl glanced at the hellhound at the head of the bed, "When I arrived, the Underworld Archon had already arrived."
"He protected your soul, so that my substitute paper man would have room to play."
After listening to Owl's explanation, Ma Wen suddenly came to a realization.
He was indeed on the verge of death because of the Black Death Curse, but because Owl arrived in time, he used the substitute paper man in the origami technique to die in place of Ma Wen once.
"Listen, kid, you are in a very dangerous situation right now."
Owl said seriously, "I have six substitute paper men this time, and I have already used one before. But the substitute paper man can only die in place of you, and can not remove the curse on your body. "
"In other words, you still have five chances to die."
Five chances to die?
Ma Wen smiled bitterly. Why did it sound so strange?
But he understood what Owl meant.
The root of the Dusk Curse was on him, and the substitute paper man could only transfer the curse to the substitute the moment the curse flared up, thus saving Ma Wen's life.
But as long as the root of the curse was not removed, Ma Wen would still be in danger.
It was extremely difficult to remove the Dusk Curse!
Even a powerful monk like Inheim was still receiving treatment from the Mother of All Things because the Dusk Curse was too terrifying!
"The only way is to return to Fernand."
Owl looked coldly at Ma Wen, "But the great wizards of this plane are not skilled enough, and the construction of the Planar Lighthouse is too slow. It will take at least a day."
"You can't afford to delay it."
Ma Wen was silent.
This time, he had indeed underestimated Glenos' insanity.
Not to mention mortals, even gods rarely survived the Dusk Curse.
Ma Wen shook his head slowly, "Is it too late?"
Owl's expression was very complicated, "Not necessarily."
Ma Wen was slightly stunned.
"Kid, your ability to cause trouble is really top-notch. Last time, you almost scared us to death on the Rotten Plateau, and this time, you actually came to conquer a secondary plane without saying a word. "
"Is it because in your mind, gods are really that weak?"
Owl asked him coldly.
Ma Wen was speechless.
Ever since he transmigrated, everything had been smooth sailing for him. Many times, he was walking on a tightrope and dancing on the tip of a knife. But in the end, he was still the winner.
This made him vaguely a little overconfident.
As his power gradually increased, he began to be dissatisfied with the step-by-step plan.
Before the Cataclysm arrived, he was in a hurry to attack the Simpson world and provoke the gods.
In the end, he was accidentally countered by the Shadow Prince, and now his life was in danger.
…
Shadow Thief Owl's words made Ma Wen speechless.
He was indeed a little too arrogant.
But in fact, this was Ma Wen's personality.
If it were another transmigrator, they would definitely be very careful after transmigrating, as if walking on thin ice.
But Ma Wen was different.
He had the conceit of a super expert, he dared to change history, and in his bones, there was even a crazy adventurous factor!
He longed for this exciting feeling of wandering between life and death crises.
This feeling made him addicted.
In other words, although Ma Wen looked calm and steady, in his bones, he was actually quite crazy. Especially after a few crazy plans had succeeded, the adventurous nature in his bones had once again stirred up trouble.
He thought that with his foresight, he could easily defeat the Shadow Prince.
And the fact was that the Shadow Prince's clone was beheaded by him.
But he did it at the risk of losing his life!
Now was different from his previous life.
In his previous life, he had died countless times, and with the Golden Son halo in hand, he could play however he wanted.
But in this life, death was death.
This time, if Owl hadn't come to his rescue in time, if Hathaway hadn't noticed in advance, Ma Wen would have been a dead man.
Thinking of this, his expression became ugly.
…
"What, now you know fear?"
Owl said with a sneer, "It's too late now!"
Ma Wen was silent.
After a long while, he gritted his teeth. "Master Owl, after I die … Baihe …"
"Go f * ck yourself!"
Owl suddenly cursed. "After doing such a thing, instead of reflecting on it, you actually want to wash your hands of it and walk away?"
"Do you think I went through so much trouble to come to this damn place just to tell you that you're dying?"
Ma Wen was stunned.
Looking at Ma Wen's stunned expression, Owl suddenly sighed. "It's normal for young people to make mistakes."
"It's just that everyone has to pay for their mistakes."
"What you owe her, I'm afraid you won't be able to pay it off in this lifetime."
…
Fernand world, Ash Plains.
Next to the Temporal Lighthouse, Hathaway and a black-cloaked man stood side by side.
"Have you really decided?"
"For a little boy?"
A sexy female voice came from the cloak.
Hathaway looked calm, but the look in her eyes was extremely complicated.
She seemed to have thousands of words to say, but in the end, she only said one sentence.
"Make your move, honorable Nether Phoenix."
