Chapter 378 Don't Back Down
Deep within hell, as far as the eye can see, it resembles a gray ocean.
Above the sky, a crescent moon, blood-red in color, shone brightly, casting a faint glow.
Clang!
The sword light receded, and Li Jie, carrying Shen Qingzhu, leaped down from mid-air.
"Where is this?"
Before answering your question, I advise you to use the forbidden ruins to isolate the polluted air around you.
As he spoke, Li Jie pointed to two gaunt figures that had suddenly appeared in front of him.
They knelt on the ground, devoutly worshipping the crescent moon in the sky. Before long, a soul-like gray light gradually floated out from the two of them, slowly rising under the guidance of the blood moon, and finally disappeared.
Did they sacrifice souls?
Shen Qingzhu frowned, waved her hand, and an invisible air barrier completely separated the two figures from the polluted hell.
"No, the light you see is what is called the power of faith."
"The power of faith?"
"Yes, according to legend, those who can enter hell are the most heinous souls. If they have to sacrifice their souls, then they really have to say goodbye to this world."
"You mean they're doing this to draw power from some pantheon?"
"Judging from the current situation, you are right."
Hearing this, Shen Qingzhu frowned even more deeply. Just how evil was this pantheon that could make even the most wicked souls in hell willingly surrender their faith?
As the two were discussing, dozens more souls rose from the gray-brown ground, kneeling down to devoutly worship the crescent moon.
"That blood moon... is it absorbing the faith power of the souls of the dead in hell?"
Are there gods on the moon?
Because of Li Jie's presence, the members of Nightfall did not come into contact with the Cthulhu pantheon in the fishing village this time, and therefore had no way of knowing that there were indeed gods on the moon.
"Yes, have you ever heard of the Cthulhu pantheon?"
"Cthulhu? I read some introductions when I was at headquarters."
"That's enough. Actually, the moon we usually see isn't the real moon."
"The moon isn't the moon? Then what is it? The kingdom of gods?"
"We're very close to the right answer. The moon is, in a sense, part of the divine kingdom, but I prefer to call it a prison rather than the divine kingdom."
"You talk as if you know a lot about this."
Shen Qingzhu rolled her eyes at Li Jie, annoyed.
"I guess I can say I understand them, since I've fought them several times."
At this point, Li Jie rubbed his wrists and stretched his shoulders before speaking earnestly.
"Hey bro, do you have the answer to the question I just asked you?"
"Have."
"That's good. Now you have an opportunity. Just don't back down when the time comes."
"???"
I hadn't even given him my answer yet, and he had already guessed it?
"Alright, stop spacing out, we're leaving."
After patting him on the shoulder, Li Jie turned around and glanced at the menacing spacetime rift at the entrance to hell.
"If we don't hurry, it will be too late."
.........
In Heaven, Lin Qiye and the others gazed at the entrance to Hell before them, lost in thought.
Is this the only way?
Cao Yuan shuddered as he looked at the bottomless crimson tunnel, and hesitantly began to speak.
Can't we just go around it?
That's right. When Michael left, he didn't tell everyone how to leave Heaven. They wandered around Heaven for a long time before finding a spacetime rift that didn't seem very safe.
After An Qingyu sensed it, everyone learned that the other end of this passage connected to the so-called hell in mythology.
"If you have any other methods, you can tell me about them..."
Although Lin Qiye didn't want to take his team members on such a risk to go to an unknown 'divine kingdom'.
But it's not a good idea for them to just stay here forever.
Compared to Cao Yuan's panic, Baili Pangpang's expression was remarkably calm and composed.
This person... ugh!
What kind of storms haven't I weathered? Going to hell is nothing to me!
Upon hearing Lin Qiye's words, Cao Yuan wilted like a frostbitten eggplant and reluctantly followed the others toward the edge of the passage.
"Ugh?"
"What's wrong, Fatty?"
"There seems to be something down there..."
"It really is... I think I can feel my body..."
Not only Fatty, but even the ghost-like Jiang Er sensed the abnormal energy fluctuations from the other side of the passage.
"It seems we have no choice but to go..."
If they could have considered it before, after learning that Jiang Er's body was in hell, they had no reason to run away anymore.
"go!"
...........
At the edge of hell, in a blood-red basin.
An angel with six gray wings on its back and no trace of life on its body stood majestically.
"Is this Michael?"
"No, He is a Seraphim... Uriel."
Why is He standing here?
"It seems like this isn't something we should be considering."
"That makes sense, so what are we doing here?"
"Of course, I'll let you grab some stuff."
At this point, Li Jie smiled slightly, pointed his finger, and the ancient longsword, radiating a deep blue light, landed steadily in his palm.
Before Shen Qingzhu could even ask, Li Jie had already flown straight toward Uriel in the center of the basin, sword in hand.
Sensing an unfamiliar presence approaching, the lifeless remains of the seraph mechanically turned around, coldly staring at the white-haired youth who stepped forward with a sword.
Immediately afterwards, a deep, dark red light suddenly appeared in those empty eyes.
“Hehehe…”
“Chuckle, chuckle….”
"........."
Click, click...~!
Eerie sounds filled Li Jie's surroundings, accompanied by a teeth-grinding sound of bones grinding together, and 'Uriel' finally raised his gray head.
"Sinner...are you ready to face my judgment?...?"
"You can talk?"
Hearing this, Li Jie also looked at the Seraphim with great interest, whose movements were mechanical and whose breathing was disordered.
The abilities of the Kel'Thuzad are truly unpredictable; they can even corrupt a dead corpse to such an extent...
If Uriel were still alive, seeing himself transformed into such a monster would surely cause him immense pain...
