I didn't expect the trump card you were talking about to be the Underworld. I thought it had died with the sisters. "
Oathkeeper looked around and said in surprise.
When the production team was discussing the plan, Han Xiao said that he had a trump card that could isolate Sorokin's ability, and that he only needed to create an opportunity for him. He did not explain what the trump card was. Because both sides had the same interests, and Black Star had always been trustworthy, Oathkeeper expressed his trust in him.
Only now did the members of the Holy Covenant realize that Han Xiao's so-called trump card was the Underworld that they were familiar with.
"Did the sisters revive as well?" Beiger was surprised.
"No, the Underworld has a new master now."
Han Xiao shook his head and let Hella land beside him. He patted her on the shoulder and did not explain the information about the sisters' inherited Esper Abilities in detail.
At this time, the seven Hero Spirit Kings suddenly appeared around Sorokin and looked at the members of the Holy Covenant in shock with disbelief.
"You guys are still alive?"
"Huh, you guys too?"
The few Holy Accord members and the seven Hero Spirit Kings stared at each other. Looking at this scene, Han Xiao suddenly thought of the scene of 'fellow countrymen meeting fellow countrymen, tears welling up in their eyes'.
Both sides were Primordial Ones, and they had chosen different paths of revival. Now that they had achieved their goals, seeing each other countless years later in the modern world, they had mixed feelings. Most of them were surprised to see an acquaintance.
However, in comparison, the seven Hero Spirit Kings were more or less upset.
They originally thought that the Holy Covenant was unreliable, and that the path they chose was the correct one. They did not expect the Holy Covenant to succeed … If only they had joined the Holy Covenant back then!
Looking at this scene, Sorokin was dumbfounded.
The existence of the Holy Covenant was already unbelievable enough. He did not expect that the Underworld still existed. A large number of Primordial Ones had survived to the modern world, and he was not the only one.
Sorokin suddenly felt that his complacency over the years was a joke.
At this moment, Han Xiao squatted down and looked straight into Sorokin's eyes.
"I've always liked to give others a chance to choose. Right now, you have two choices in front of you. One is to be destroyed by us, and your soul will become Hella's nourishment. The other is to become an Underworld Hero Spirit and be controlled by the Underworld. Which one do you choose?"
In any case, Sorokin was a top-notch combatant. The external enemies of the explored universe had yet to be dealt with, so naturally, Han Xiao was reluctant to turn him into ashes.
In fact, if Sorokin hadn't discovered the secret of the Holy Covenant, Han Xiao wouldn't have taken the initiative to kill him. He was just disgusted that Sorokin had schemed against him in the past. He felt that this guy was too good at hiding, so he didn't treat him as an opponent that he had to kill.
Now that Suo Zai had completely fallen into his hands, Han Xiao almost wanted to say the classic villain speech … Scream all you want, but no one will come and save you even if you scream yourself hoarse!
Sorokin looked around at everyone with a gloomy expression and said in surprise, "What's the matter?
"What … exactly are you guys planning?"
Black Star was actually connected to both the Holy Covenant and the Underworld. It was simply unfathomable. He felt that Han Xiao was definitely secretly planning something big. He vaguely smelled the scent of a conspiracy.
Are these people trying to overturn the universe?
Also, since Black Star is with this group of people, could he also be one of the Primordial Ones?
After coming into contact with this series of secrets, and thinking of Black Star's performance all this while, Sorokin could not help but fantasize in this direction.
"Do you think I'll tell you now?"
Han Xiao chuckled.
Telling the enemy the whole plan when the operation is about to succeed is a big taboo for villains. I won't fall for it.
At this time, the seven Hero Spirit Kings had already learned of Sorokin's true identity from Oathkeeper. The leader of the Hero Spirit Kings, Rega, walked over, patted Sorokin's shoulder, and comforted him. "Don't hesitate. When you join the Underworld, you'll know that being a Hero Spirit is very happy."
"Rega, I didn't expect you to be tamed too," Sorokin mocked coldly. They were all acquaintances from the same era, so he naturally knew the seven Hero Spirits of the Underworld.
Rega was not angry. He smiled and said, "Don't make it sound so bad. As long as the Underworld isn't destroyed, the Hero Spirits will never die. You've been struggling at death's door in the main universe for so long, so I'm sure you don't want to die. Isn't it good to be happy with us? You don't have to worry about being killed. How free and easy is that?"
The other Hero Spirit Kings also tried to persuade him passionately. For some reason, they felt like they were trying to promote their company's advantages during recruitment.
It was not that they cared about Soul Emperor's life or death. In a situation where they could not go out, life in the Underworld was relatively monotonous. The seven Hero Spirits knew each other very well, so there was no novelty. Now that they had finally caught a newcomer, they did not want to let him go.
Hearing this, even the Holy Covenant members nodded in agreement.
Their experience in the exploration era had already proven that as long as there was no problem with the Underworld, the Hero Spirits could do whatever they wanted. To be honest, they were also very envious.
Because Oathkeeper had concealed part of the information about the Sanctum Revival for some reason, the Holy Covenant members all thought that the Sanctum Revival was a one-time thing. Seeing the Underworld, a few of them became excited.
They originally thought that they only had one chance to be reborn. With the Underworld, did that not mean that they could live forever?
Although they had to become someone else's subordinates … as long as they could live, what was wrong with being a dog?
"Black Star has a close relationship with the Underworld. We have to build a good relationship with him …"
Beiger mumbled softly and said what everyone was thinking.
Han Xiao's ears twitched, and he laughed in his heart.
He had brought everyone to the Underworld with this intention. Taking advantage of the fact that the Holy Covenant members did not know the truth about the Sanctum Revival, he could use the existence of the Underworld to improve his position in the hearts of the Primordial Ones, making it easier for him to do things in the future.
Even those Holy Covenant members who had other goals could not ignore his existence in order to leave a way out. He could influence this group of people and prevent them from doing anything too extreme to a certain extent.
"How cunning, I like it so much."
The corners of Han Xiao's mouth curled up. Seeing that Sorokin was wavering, he could not help but say,
"You like to be a coward so much. Now, you're just changing places, and you won't have to worry about your life anymore. What's there to hesitate about?"
Sorokin was silent for a while before sighing. With a depressed and helpless expression, he said in a low voice, "I admit defeat.
I'm willing to join the Underworld. "
He had always believed that a good death was better than a bad life, so he could only bid farewell to freedom and choose to live an ignoble life with resentment and unwillingness.
Han Xiao looked at Onicelu as expected.
Onicelu raised her hand and grabbed. Balls of Underworld power seeped out from the ground and floated beside Sorokin.
She smiled and said, "Release your defenses and accept the transformation. It might hurt a little, but don't resist."
Whoosh!
Without waiting for Sorokin's reply, the Underworld power rushed into his soul.
Under everyone's gaze, the color of Sorokin's soul was tainted by the Underworld power and gradually transformed into a Hero Spirit.
Sorokin felt as if his soul was being stabbed by hot iron, becoming extremely hot from the inside out as if he would burn into Ashes at any time.
Seeing this, the seven Hero Spirit Kings were overjoyed. They were just short of beating drums and gongs to welcome another unlucky person to join their ranks.
After a long time, the Hero Spirit transformation process finally ended.
The chains formed by the Underworld power disappeared, and Sorokin was free. He slowly stood up and looked down at his soul that had been transformed into an Underworld Hero Spirit. He felt the connection between the Underworld and himself. His expression was very complicated, and he had mixed feelings.
He did not expect fate to be so amazing. After so many years, he finally became an Underworld Hero Spirit that he had once looked down on …
At this moment, the seven Hero Spirit Kings surrounded him and smiled warmly.
"You're the eighth Hero Spirit King from now on. The Underworld welcomes you!"
"Hehe …"
Sorokin could not smile at all. His mouth twitched.
Onicelu suddenly exclaimed and turned to look at Han Xiao. "He's different from the other Hero Spirit Kings. Although he's been transformed, he still has his original combat strength."
Han Xiao thought to himself that he was right. He asked, "He's a little special. Can you suppress him?"
"That's not a problem. He's been transformed into a Hero Spirit and has established a connection with the Underworld. He's under my control." Onicelu nodded.
"That's good."
Han Xiao nodded lightly.
Normal Hero Spirits did not have any combat strength. Only with the support of life energy could they temporarily obtain a shell and recover their combat strength. However, Sorokin had [Immortal Soul] and [Soul Energy Cornerstone]. Even in his Hero Spirit state, he still had the combat strength of a Beyond Grade A. This was what made him different from ordinary people.
However, the Underworld had been perfected by the two sisters and was already close to a Space Wonder level treasure. Its operation mechanism was perfect, and it would not have a problem suppressing Sorokin at its peak.
Seeing Sorokin's unwilling face, Han Xiao smiled and said, "Don't be sad. Fortune and misfortune come hand in hand. Maybe one day, you'll feel that joining the Underworld is a blessing."
"I don't think that day will ever come." Sorokin was filled with resentment.
"Hehe, as long as you don't think so."
Han Xiao did not think much of it and shook his head with a smile.
As his strength, status, and connections continued to increase, the enemies that he had found difficult to deal with in the past were not that difficult to deal with anymore. Another hidden danger had been dealt with, so he was quite satisfied.
Sorokin's value was not just in his combat strength. The large amount of resources and intelligence this guy had was also a huge piece of cake.
Thinking of this, Han Xiao turned around and said to Hella, "Talk to Sorokin and ask him to tell us what he knows."
Hella nodded and brought Sorokin to the side for interrogation. As the current master of the Underworld, she was the most suitable person to do this job.
Seeing that Sorokin's problem had been solved, the members of the Holy Covenant present all heaved a sigh of relief. They turned around and chatted with the seven Hero Spirit Kings.
Han Xiao and Oathkeeper walked to the side and talked about another problem.
"How's the search for the key to the Third Sanctum coming along?"
"We're still working hard. With the experience from last time and the channels you provided, it should be much faster this time," Oathkeeper replied.
"As soon as possible. I have a feeling that the days of peace won't last long," Han Xiao whispered.
He still had missions related to the Sanctums that he had not completed. Even without the missions, the Sanctums were still the way out for Beyond Grade As. No matter what, he had to go in and take a look.
Oathkeeper nodded. Suddenly, he changed the topic and asked, "Although I'm not in the Beyond Grade A Association, Sorokin's sudden disappearance should have quite a big impact, right?"
Han Xiao glanced at him and said with a deep voice, "That's right. Gaud disappeared a few years ago, and now Sorokin is gone. It's easy to make the connection … However, the difference is that no one will stand up for Sorokin, so the impact won't be too big. It's mainly the association's internal suspicions and investigations."
"It won't affect you, right?"
"If it's handled properly, it won't be a big problem. Recently, the dynasty has been secretly investigating Sorokin. We can find a way to push Gaud's crime onto Sorokin, then fake his disappearance and say that he escaped to avoid punishment. This will create a motive for him and complete a closed loop … As for the future, we won't have to worry about others discovering that Sorokin is here with me. His Esper Ability can change the frequency of his soul, so plastic surgery can solve most of the problems."
Han Xiao had a plan for this situation.
Sorokin's fate was now tied to the Underworld. Although he did not have freedom, it was not without benefits. Han Xiao knew Sorokin's personality. This guy's biggest characteristic was that he was tactful and would not do anything that would put him in a life and death struggle, so there was no need to worry about him not cooperating.
Oathkeeper expressed his support. "It's good that you have a plan. You're better at this kind of insidious means."
"Don't copy me." Han Xiao glared at him.
The two of them did not chat for long. The other Holy Covenant members were still waiting for news in the main universe. Han Xiao sent Oathkeeper back with another King suit and reported the situation here to reassure the others.
After sending the outsiders away, Han Xiao turned around and went to the interrogation room where Hella and Sorokin were being held. The two of them sat opposite each other, asking questions and answering questions. The atmosphere was very harmonious.
Although Sorokin was unwilling, what was done was done. He had no choice but to lower his head under someone else's roof, so he was quite cooperative.
Han Xiao walked to Hella and asked, "How's the situation?"
Hella looked up at him and had a rare playful expression on her face.
"You came at the right time. He seemed to have said something serious just now …"
