Night Ranger - Chapter 668-674
A fascinating flame spread from the boundless Hell.
The entire northern sky was dominated by that frightening flame.
As night had yet to fall, the two great Legends could only work together to flee in panic.
From the northern stronghold to the First Mountain Range, Constantine and Sophie went through a lot of hardships and dangers. A single mistake would result in death in the hands of the Molten Archdevil’s Avatar.
But they still didn’t renounce hope.
Because O’Brien used his life to give them a chance.

They couldn’t easily give up.
They fled all the way from North to South.
The Far Northeast had already fallen into enemy hands. The powerhouses with the ability to put up resistance to the Molten Archdevil were all gathered in the First Mountain Range’s hole.
As for the appearance of the Fate Tablet, Constantine and the others naturally noticed it, that’s why they rushed to that place first.
They assumed that along the way, there would always be some people with hostility to the Hell’s forces, and they could maybe turn the tides.
After all, since that day, the forces of the Astral Sea were gradually revealing their brilliance.
They hoped that those would set themselves against Hell’s powerhouses and would stop the frightening Molten Archdevil. Even if he was only an Avatar, he was the first to not play by the rules the Gods set down, and he couldn’t be stopped.
They needed someone on the level of a Plane Guardian to block him!
Constantine understood that there were few people like that. Even O’Brien, that kind of Half-Plane Guardian died under the plot of the Molten Archdevil. It would be even harder for the others to fight against these Ancient Angel Descendants.
But he still had to try.
He couldn’t get in touch with Marvin because the Hell’s sinister power blocked the Night Walkers’ communication methods. Even Old Sean was only able to know of their predicament through the candles.
But Constantine couldn’t even contact Old Sean directly.
He could only try to escape with Sophie.
Maybe the Fate Tablet and the people from the Astral Sea could attract the Molten Archdevil’s attention… This was what Constantine was hoping for.
But reality was cruel.
The two kept going south, using up nearly all their life-saving methods!
Yet the Molten Archdevil’s Avatar wasn’t the single bit interested. What made them feel cold was that they met a large amount of Astral Sea’s Divine Servants on the way, even Gods’ Apostles followed by a great number of Clerics, but they actually chose to avoid the Molten Archdevil’s Avatar when they saw him, not wanting to start a fight!
Those Feinan’s native powerhouses straightforwardly decided to stay out of it when they felt the Molten Archdevil’s sinister power.
This kind of outcome made Constantine feel extremely distressed.
They were already close to despair.
In the end, they were only fleeing on instinct!
The Molten Archdevil’s shadow was relentlessly following.
When they finally spotted the First Mountain in the distance, they suddenly felt a strong reaction in their hearts.
That was a kind of hope for survival.
The Molten Archdevil seemed to also sense that variable.
In an instant, a frightening sinister energy rushed forth from his body.
Black flames rose up from the two’s feet as countless Devils’ howls were emitted from the flame!
Constantine and Sophie shrieked, they faced death once more under the fierce pain.
But at that time, an icy voice echoed:
“Let them go, otherwise…”
“You’ll die.”
…
The surroundings of the First Mountain Range were completely silent.
Many people were unsatisfied, but no one dared to show it.
Today’s Main Character was definitely the one holding the Blades of Sodom, the one who activated the Perfect Shadow Domain and shattered the Divine Shackles.
In many powerhouses’ eyes, the three Apostles from the three Gods weren’t particularly powerful opponents. Marvin defeating them couldn’t be considered that amazing.
But a strange feeling told them that this might not be the end.
This might just be the beginning.
The slaughterer who took 63 lives just left the forest, and the next second, he appeared beside that black flame.
The Sodom’s Blades were suspended above the flame, like a guillotine ready to fall!
No one thought Marvin’s second target would actually be the Molten Archdevil’s Avatar!
That crazy powerhouse had been noticed by everyone when he appeared in Feinan.
O’Brien’s death also wasn’t a secret. Many forces, including the Astral Sea, had their own ways of transmitting information.
The Molten Archdevil’s Avatar made everyone shocked and worried.
Because he was the first person to break the rules set by the Gods.
But they soon obtained reassurance from their Gods: That frightening guy was simply chasing people through Feinan for a personal grudge. He wouldn’t take the initiative to fight over the Fate Tablet.
This news let everyone relax.
What the Gods conveyed was very clear. The Molten Archdevil was here for specific people, so as long as they didn’t provoke him, there wouldn’t be any issues.
But no one expected that Marvin would actually dare provoke a Lord of Hell!
After all, the Lords of Hells weren’t at the level of ordinary Gods.
They all had the strength of High Gods.
As far as the New Gods were concerned, the Lords of the Nine Hells had a deep history. The Molten Clan’s bloodline was one of the oldest. No one knew how strong the current Molten Archdevil was!
In such a situation, Marvin actually dared to provoke such a figure?
“This guy is definitely crazy! He killed so many people just now, he must be beguiled by slaughter!”
“I don’t see it. Marvin is someone that keeps exceeding our estimations, he is very powerful, could it be that he wants to stand up against the Molten Archdevil? If he can really kill the Molten Archdevil’s Avatar, then maybe no one here will dare to make a move on him.”
“You think too much, my information says that there is hatred between the Molten Archdevil and the Night Walker Organization, Marvin just happens to be a member of the Night Walkers, that’s all. Even if he doesn’t make a move, the Molten Archdevil also wouldn’t let him off.”
“In short, today will be interesting. I didn’t expect Feinan to still have such overbearing existences! Before the pass arrives, let’s see a few shows to spend the time.”
…
Voices rose up here and there, chatting endlessly.
But these didn’t influence Marvin’s thoughts.
When that swaying flame appeared, he noticed something.
He felt it before he felt Constantine!
That was a kind of Bloodline Pulsation!
‘Diross… What kind of gift did you prepare for me in the end?’
Marvin looked at the swaying black flame before him.
He felt his Bloodline pulsating.
That was a desire to devour!
The experts gathered at the First Mountain Range.
At this sensitive and wondrous point in time, some of the strongest representatives of the various forces in the Universe were gathered in one place.
But at this moment, all the limelight had been taken away.
Everyone’s sight had been drawn to Marvin and the avatar of the Molten Archdevil.
They were bound to become the main story of the day.
When Marvin said those words, everyone knew that the two would definitely not settle the matter peacefully today.
Marvin’s mind was more stable.
When the Molten Archdevil’s avatar appeared, the pulsation deep in his Bloodline wouldn’t stop.
He smiled bitterly to himself.
At the beginning, he thought that Diross only gave him a potion that would strengthen the purity of his Shapeshift Sorcerer bloodline.
Even Lavis’ Great Duke hadn’t been able to notice anything unusual about it after his appraisal.
But afterwards, his Hellish Bloodline had been aroused, and he shockingly found out that the potion actually contained power from the Molten Archdevil!
Marvin, who had undergone a primary awakening of the Molten Bloodline, had some abilities from the Molten Clan.
Upon realizing this, he had begun to doubt Diross’ intentions.
And when he met Saydis in Devil Town, the latter mentioned something very strange, which made Marvin feel suspicious.
He definitely had some things from Hell, and those things could only have come from Diross.
Everything stemmed from that potion.
And up till now, Marvin couldn’t find out what the essence of the potion was.
But now, he truly understood.
That was a true “Hellish Spawn”!
Normally, this power would always remain in hibernation, waiting until it met its fated enemy before awakening in the bloodline.
According to the description in the interface, Marvin was sure about one thing: Diross used some method to conceal the specific effect of the potion, even fooling Lavis’ Great Duke. In fact, that potion came from the 1st generation Molten Blood power.
It was the Divine Source of the original Ancient Angel getting corrupted!
That power would only be aroused when Marvin faced the Molten Archdevil.
And if awakened, Marvin would only have one choice if he wanted to survive…
Kill and devour the opponent.
This was the cruel method that the Molten Hell used to filter its successors. Marvin couldn’t go against it. He couldn’t retreat.
The Molten Archdevil’s avatar successfully made Marvin’s bloodline to completely activate. He felt as if thousands of Devils were bowing, but these Devils wouldn’t harm him. They would actually help him.
That power made Marvin very comfortable. He had the Book of Nalu and the Wisdom Chapter. It was enough to manage the Molten Hell’s forces.
The crucial question was whether he could kill the Molten Archdevil before him. And whether he could devour the Molten Bloodline present on the other party.
He felt troubled. Diross of the Scorched Hell, the true mastermind behind this… What was he thinking?
Marvin decided to put this question aside for the moment.
After the battle over the Sky Tower ended, if he was still alive, he would naturally look for Diross to clear this up.
Ever since Marvin arrived in Feinan, the two most unfathomable people to him were Lance and his grandfather Diross.
That man, who claimed to have swallowed the main soul of the Scorched Hell’s previous owner, always carried a certain confidence. That kind of confidence made Marvin feel unpleasant. It was as if he completely saw through him.
And in fact, this development was also controlled by Diross.
The potion that he gave Marvin finally showed another use.
Now that the Scorched Archdevil’s avatar met Marvin, he had to make a choice: Kill or be killed.
“Let me see what a Lord of Hell is made of!”
After single-handedly killing 63 powerhouses, Marvin’s confidence was sky-high as he tightened his grip on Sodom’s Blades.
Even if it was the avatar of a Lord of Hell, he would dare to fight him!
Not to mention, that person was a foe that he definitely had to kill anyways. From what Sean told him, the Molten Archdevil was behind the death of O’Brien.
This hatred had yet to be quenched!
…
The black flame slowly flared up, but the Hellfire that had been gradually wrapping around Constantine and Sophie had somehow disappeared.
Constantine looked at Marvin emotionally, but he was unable to say anything for a long time.
He had thought he would die, but Marvin’s sudden appearance pulled him back from the brink of death.
At the same time, he sighed with sorrow.
A few months ago, Marvin was the one that needed to be saved.
It was Constantine who had saved Marvin from the hands of the Azure Matriarch’s subordinate and then taught him some of his own skills.
And a few months later, as Marvin held Sodom’s Blades, using Endless Path to leap in front of the Molten Archdevil, he truly felt that this youth had transformed.
He no longer needed to hide his potential.
He could show his brilliance in front of the Universe.
Taking down a Lord of Hell with a mortal body, this would be a true proof of power!
“That youth is Marvin? The next appointed leader?”
Sophie was pale, but she was looking at Marvin with a bit of shock.
Constantine nodded, suddenly recalling something before muttering in a low voice, “We always believed in him. Although he wasn’t a very bright Leader, but he would never make a mistake about something like this, would he?”
He was naturally talking about O’Brien.
Sophie nodded, a tear silently trailing down her face.
…
Burning flames, slashing daggers.
After so many years, the powerhouses of Hell and mankind were fighting once again.
People looked forward to the development of the story.
But the next second, a shocking scene occurred:
The black flaming figure suddenly lowered its head, and with a woosh, disappeared.
Marvin and everyone else were stunned as they saw the Molten Archdevil’s avatar unexpectedly… flee?
At that instant, the surroundings of the First Mountain Range went into a shocked silence.
A Lord of Hell was actually scared of a mortal?!
“Was that an illusion?!”
“How could this be!”
Standing next to Eve, the son of the God of Dawn and Protection blurted in disbelief, “Has Hell degenerated to that point?”
Everyone else was equally surprised by this scene.
They had imagined the scene of Marvin being burnt to death by the Lord of Hell, but who could have guessed that something like this would happen!
A Lord of Hell!
One of the nine supreme leaders of the Nine Hells!
Under the threat of a mortal… he escaped?
If this spread, not only would it be a major blow to the prestige of the Lords of Hell, but the might of the Nine Hells would likely be called into question!
What the hell happened?
Marvin was still stunned.
The Molten Archdevil’s escape was beyond his expectations, so he didn’t have time to stop him!
Before he even reacted, a piece of information was transmitted into his mind from above:
[Major Event: The Molten Hell has fallen into hostile hands. Two-thirds of the territory has been annexed by the Scorched Hell, and the Molten Archdevil is near death. And the one behind all of this is the Lord of the Scorched Hell, Diross.]
That voice came from the Truth Godrealm!
When the Molten Archdevil’s shadow disappeared from the outskirts of the First Mountain Range, Marvin had been baffled.
He had initially assumed that this was a tactic of the Molten Archdevil used to catch him off guard.
But when the voice of the Truth Goddess echoed in his mind, he understood.
All the pieces of the puzzle in Marvin’s mind assembled as he suddenly revealed a playful smile. ‘Surely my grandfather wouldn’t… right?’
‘Is he preparing to unify the Nine Hells?’
…
Compared with the Molten Archdevil fleeing from a fight, the big event that just took place in Hell spread even faster.
Ever since the Millennium War started, the Scorched Hell Archdevil didn’t make any big moves.
People even wondered if Diross had lost his power as a descendant of an Ancient Angel after suffering the loss from the Cridland Clan.
But in the time since the Great Calamity began, everything changed.
The Nine Hells faintly felt the killing intent permeating the air.
The Scorched Lord came back strong, re-organized the Scorched Hell’s power and swept away the gloomy situation of the Scorched Hell in the Nine Hells.
Even the quality and quantity of the Devils in the Scorched Hell had increased.
This point was clearly shown in the current Millennium War. The Scorched Hell’s Devils became stronger than they were in the past, and not only did they have the advantage in the battle against the Demons, but they still had a rare superiority in the skirmish against the other Hells.
The name Diross, which hadn’t been mentioned for such a long time, was once again resurging.
Many people thought like this. Just when you almost forgot about him, he somehow found a way to reappear in the forefront of everyone’s sight.
Such a huge crisis happening in Hell due to an internal invasion directly drew the attention of the entire Universe!
From what everyone was saying, along with the information he had in hand and the bit he gained after grouping up with Constantine’s group, he was certain of the reason that the Molten Archdevil didn’t fight.
Things first started when Marvin left for the Crimson Wasteland, where he found a Hell Familiar.
At that time, he warned the Migratory Bird Council to be careful of Hell’s invasion.
And that Familiar actually came from the Scorched Hell, from Diross.
After Marvin left, Diross sent capable subordinates to get in touch with the Migratory Bird Council.
Both sides apparently came to some sort of a mysterious agreement.
After that, the Scorched Hell faked attacking the Supreme Jungle while secretly withdrawing troops from the Millenium War. They were, in fact, consolidating their strength while waiting.
Because the Nine Fallen Angels had set up boundaries, the planar barriers between the Nine Hells were stronger than regular planar barriers.
Especially because of something like that, invasion between the different Hells was something rarely ever seen.
Devils paid attention to Order. Rules were something that couldn’t be infringed on.
But Diross actually cleverly shifted the attention this whole time while picking out the weakest force of the Nine Hells to attack – The Molten Clan!
The Molten Clan used up a lot of strength after fighting continuously with the Humans. At the same time, when the First Generation Molten Archdevil fell, his Molten Spawn was actually divided in three. One third was passed on as an inheritance, and two thirds disappeared in the Molten Hell.
This led to the strength of the Molten Archdevil not being as great as one might expect.
From what Marvin had heard, the death of the First Generation Molten Archdevil should have been due to Diross’ plot. Not the Diross that was Marvin’s grandfather, but the original Archdevil.
And that was because those two thirds of the remaining Molten Spawn had been in his hands.
One was given to Marvin and the other one was in Diross’ hands.
How could Diross and the Great Druids come to an agreement? Marvin didn’t know.
But what he understood was that because of the help of the Great Druids, the Scorched Devils who were originally pretending to siege the Supreme Forest had the opportunity to sneak attack the Molten Hell instead.
Especially when the Molten Clan was busy invading Feinan, tearing apart the defenses of mankind. After launching their attack on the Night Walkers’ northern headquarters, the Molten Hell was pretty empty.
Diross finally made a big move.
All the Scorched Devils that had been waiting in preparation finally flooded the Molten Hell.
It didn’t take long before the Molten Archdevil was left near death by Diross and forced to flee. The Molten Hell was now also under the control of the Scorched Hell!
Diross appeared in front of the Molten Devils and showed the Molten Spawn before taking it all over.
He became the new Molten Hell Lord.
At that instant, the forces of the Molten Hell still opposing him amounted to 7831 Devils!
Three seconds later, they were all killed.
The rest of the Molten Hell gave its allegiance to him.
The Molten Archdevil was escaping, so he obviously wouldn’t dare to expend any energy to fight Marvin!
Everything happened so suddenly that even the Truth Goddess was startled.
In the message she left Marvin, the Truth Goddess made it clear that she was leaving to check on Hell.
She seemed very concerned about Diross’ move breaking the millennium-long balance of the Nine Hells.
What made people even more bewildered by the move was that Diross, after just taking the position of Lord of the Molten Hell, used his own power to proclaim two things to the entire Universe:
1st – The Scorched Hell and the Molten Hell are one and the same! Diross is the Lord of the two Hells.
2nd – Marvin is Diross’ grandson.
…
Compared with the first piece of news, the second was slightly more tricky.
But after that indifferent voice announced that information, all those gazes on Marvin changed.
In the end, what was that guy’s background?
The Truth Goddess was apparently supporting him. The Scorched Lord was his grandfather. Wasn’t all this too much?
Even if the two might not be blood-related, for Diross to send this message when at his strongest gave a “go ahead and try making a move on Marvin” attitude, making even the most savage God Descendants feel like remaining well-behaved.
For some time, the surroundings of the First Mountain were quiet.
Everyone silently stood in place while contemplating the implications of these developments.
The Azure Matriarch clenched her teeth, but didn’t try anything.
Some confusion could be seen in Eve’s eyes, before hardening into resolution.
At her side, the son of the God of Dawn and Protection had a thoughtful expression on his face.
Everyone reacted differently.
As for Marvin, he was still smiling bitterly.
That really was a crazy move that Diross made. In such troubled times, what was that guy thinking?
‘Is he trying to show his support for me in the fight over the Fate Tablet?’
But that would be a useless attempt.
In front of a Divinely powerful item like the Fate Tablet, everyone would risk their lives.
At that time, background, fame, any of these kinds of things would be useless!
…
But fortunately, Marvin still maintained a proper attitude.
Whatever Diross’ intention was, he would find out in the future.
The Nine Hells were certainly worthy of attention, but the most important matter right now was the Sky Tower.
After “saving” Constantine and Sophie, he found a place for them along with Isabelle.
As for Wayne, he simply couldn’t find the slightest trace of him anymore, so he could only give up for now.
Marvin believed that when the pass from the Sky Tower started appearing, Wayne would definitely appear.
At that time, there might not be anyone left that would dare to hinder Marvin!
But he would always be ready.
He held Sodom’s Blades in his hands as he circled around the Sky Tower with a casual attitude.
Whenever he approached someone, they would all feel an intense fear of the daggers in his hands.
They were all afraid of Marvin’s fighting strength and Sodom’s Blades.
A casual move from Marvin might be enough to cause others to yield.
Marvin didn’t know whether to laugh or cry about this.
Time flew by.
A day later, in the evening.
The sun set under a rare clear sky.
Even though it was still bright out, the people staring at the Sky Tower saw a blue light at the very top!
In the middle of that blue light was a stone with runes engraved upon it.
Everyone knew that it was the pass leading to the Sky Tower!
The instant that the Sky Tower first appeared, many people found some traces of the Wilds’ Shrine from ancient books of their respective forces.
The story of Lance and the Sky Tower slowly came to light.
Many citizens of the God Realms knew that the pass to the Sky Tower was a deep blue runestone.
This kind of runestone was actually something the Devils were very familiar with because it was made of a material that came from the Hell’s Fool Sea. Devils originally used it to sign and enforce contracts with Humans.
It was rumored to be a fantastic stone with Divine Law Power.
And in the current Nine Hells, this stone gradually disappeared from the sight of common Devils due to the Fool Sea drying up.
Only powerhouses on the level of Archdevils might be able to come into contact with that stone.
…
Regardless, the appearance of the azure stone meant that the Fate Tablet would imminently be coming into being.
Many people were already getting restless.
There was only one blue stone in the first batch. Although the group of people that got that blue stone and were able to enter first might not necessarily end up getting to the 4th Fate Tablet before everyone else, it would still be a great advantage, so the appearance of that thing attracted the attention of almost everyone there.
Some clever people chose to control themselves and watched from the sidelines.
The appearance of the passes to the Sky Tower would definitely lead to a series of chaotic battles.
The first batch of participants would definitely be the powerhouses with absolute confidence in themselves. Which one of them would get the stone wasn’t certain.
At this time, just staying at the sides and watching the situation was the best choice.
After all, based on what happened when the Sky Tower opened previously, there should definitely be more batches appearing afterwards.
There would be a second batch for sure, but it was hard to say how many more.
Moreover, the appearance of the first azure stone was the most conspicuous, since everyone had been milling around with not much of anything to do but wait for it.
In the First Mountain Range’s surroundings, Marvin casually decided to get hold of this azure stone.
Since he had already revealed his strength before the whole Universe, he might as well be thorough now.
In any case, even if the Truth Goddess and the Scorched Lord wouldn’t really help him, he could still use the power of their names.
Taking advantage of this opportunity to get a hold of the azure stone was very important.
Especially… Since Wayne had yet to appear.
Marvin’s eyes shone.
He was determined to get the Fate Tablet. He would personally erase Dark Phoenix from this world!
A very bold plan appeared in his mind.
And this plan was linked to the azure stone.
…
“Woosh!”
On the roof of the Sky Tower, the azure stone suddenly vanished, flying toward the southern mountains.
Several powerful auras locked onto that azure stone.
Clerics with relatively ordinary strength gasped. They discovered in shock that so many powerhouses appeared to vie for that Fate Tablet!
A total of 19 people made a move for that first batch.
These 19 came from other forces of the Universe. Not the Astral Sea, but Hell, the Abyss, and the Negative Energy Plane. And the power and aura that they were radiating at this moment was extremely frightening.
These people already reached the peak of Feinan and should only be just below the Plane Guardian level!
These nineteen were the representatives of the major forces.
Naturally, there were more tragic groups, such as that of the God of Dawn and Protection. He should have been part of the 19, but his representative couldn’t make a move because he was suppressed by Eve.
As for Eve, she remained calm, not moving.
This made the son of the God of Dawn and Protection feel very annoyed, but he couldn’t do anything about it. He simply wasn’t a match for that stubborn Valkyrie successor.
In this world, strength determined everything.
…
After the 19 peak powerhouses began to act, two-thirds of the others retreated due to fear.
It looked like a chaotic battle would break out because of that azure stone. At that time, a ghostly silhouette directly broke away from the group of powerhouses and rushed toward the first stone’s location.
The others all focused their anger at that person.
So, someone actually dared to make such a move on their own at such a time.
After all, everyone wanted the stone, so regardless of who decided to go ahead on their own, they would most likely be targeted by all the others!
The first to do something decisive was often the one with the most confidence, but this also put them in the most danger.
Among the nineteen people, some were already secretly preparing their Divine Spells, ready to attack at any time.
But then, everyone suddenly noticed that shadow, and they subconsciously restrained themselves.
Marvin calmly appeared at that sensitive area without giving the slightest sign beforehand. He gently reached out for the azure stone and brought it into his pouch.
Some of those nineteen were hiding while others remained where they were, but they all chose to remain silent.
Marvin shrugged. No one blocked his path, so he would naturally just continue unhurriedly on his way out.
Everyone was speechless.
The Fate Tablet had yet to come into being, but Marvin already had the greatest momentum in this war.
He killed 63 Legends in a fight and then startled a Lord of Hell into fleeing with his daggers. The name Marvin might have just been a name to be noted before, but now, he was standing before them.
They finally realized that someone who fought so constantly and desperately in this era of chaos and managed to establish a Sanctuary definitely couldn’t be an ordinary person.
Even if he was just one person.
Marvin’s enemies were grinding their teeth.
They thought that these 19 powerhouses would join hands to deal with Marvin, but who would have thought that they would actually choose to just move aside?
What the hell was going on?
Were they shocked by Marvin’s fearsome strength? Or was it the famous daggers he held that made them so frightened, not daring to face their edges? Or was it the fact that he seemed to have some sort of relationship with the Goddess of Truth? Or was it the result of Diross’ warning? Was the will of the Scorched Hell so powerful?
Or was it the shock from discovering that someone that they had considered a small fry for so long had now attained such power?
Especially the Azure Matriarch.
She was also in the surroundings of the Sky Tower, but there was actually no thought of taking immediate revenge in her mind.
But the outcome of the situation made her more and more somber.
‘Seems like revenge is only possible with the Fate Tablet.’
A rare frustration appeared in her heart.
…
As for Marvin, he was actually regretful.
These Divine Servants on the side were not pleasing to his eyes. As for why, the attack on the Universe Magic Pool was enough of a reason.
But so many Divine Servants were present, so if he fought them, he’d provoke all of them, probably including the spectators.
The most important matters right now were securing the Fate Tablet and settling things with Wayne.
The rest was no longer so important as Marvin’s strength rose.
What about Clerics?
Didn’t Marvin just kill 63 of them?
What he needed now was to quickly increase his strength to reach the level of the Plane Guardians!
After obtaining the inheritance from the Book of Nalu, Marvin faintly felt that he wasn’t far from that realm.
And at that time, another azure stone appeared near the Sky Tower.
Everyone immediately shook!
The 2nd pass appeared so soon after the first!
But no one expected that upon its appearance, a voice would faintly echo:
“This stone is also mine.”
Although the voice was gentle, it was incomparably firm.
When these words came out, all the people near the First Mountain Range were in an uproar!
Marvin’s words were too damn arrogant, right?
Although everyone had backed down upon seeing his strength, the main reason that the 19 powerhouses from all over the Universe didn’t choose to attack him jointly was their lack of mutual trust with each other.
But Marvin still dared to be greedy in such situation?
Not only did he take the first stone, but he also arrogantly claimed the second one?
If they backed down here, then the others watching shouldn’t even have bothered coming to the First Mountain Range.
They also wouldn’t need to fight for the Fate Tablet.
“Hmpf!”
Some of the 19 powerhouses couldn’t keep their expressions calm.
The atmosphere was smothering as a red iron hammer abruptly fell from the sky. It was held by a sturdy man who was as tall as three people.
Rage could be seen on his face, showing that he was someone with a violent temper!
That red iron hammer faintly carried the power of Divine Law, and a large sprawl of forbidden runes flickered out. Someone ordinary wouldn’t be able to dodge it, instead getting crushed into mincemeat.
Berserk God!
The instant that the iron hammer appeared, everyone was bewildered.
Wasn’t it said that all the Gods were fighting the Astral Beast?
Why would a God appear here, and a Mid God at that?
The Berserk God didn’t look like his older brother, the War God, who was a High God, and his Domain was a lot smaller, only including the Rage and Berserk paths. But thanks to his twin brother, the Berserk God could draw support from the War God’s Domain.
This was very powerful.
This was the first God to appear in Feinan after the Great Calamity!
A real God!
…
‘It’s actually that crafty one. Despite the situation, the War God still kept something in reserve.’
Not far away, the son of the God of Dawn and Protection had an indignant expression on his face.
Despite the Astral Sea joining forces, there was still nonstop internecine scheming between them.
Otherwise, if this group of Apostles and Divine Servants all worked together, they wouldn’t have to worry so much about just one Marvin,.
And Marvin dared to be so arrogant because of the internal struggles in the Astral Sea.
They couldn’t unite their ideals.
Even if they joined forces, it was just to keep face in front of the Gods in the Assembly of Gods. They couldn’t give the other Gods a pretext to attack them.
Like this Berserk God.
He currently should have been at the frontline, but the War God, one of the three Great Gods, sent him down stealthily.
Through some special methods and with the help of some accomplices, he reached Feinan and joined the fight over the Fate Tablet.
They were exploiting and drilling their way through a loophole. Maybe the stakes were too high, to the point that those mighty existences could only use this method.
Like the son of the God of Dawn and Protection, his strength was far beyond that of the peak Legends gathered here.
The God of Dawn and Protection had the highest prestige among the three Great Gods, and his son would inevitably have outstanding strength.
But his descent was a bit too particular, preventing him from using his full strength, although it would gradually recover over time.
He was also being restrained by Eve’s Holy Sword, or else he would have joined the fight too and might not be any worse than the Berserk God who also came using an unorthodox method.
But this time, the Berserk God joining the fight meant that Marvin had a true challenge ahead of him!
Despite losing some power from the descent, the Berserk God, supported by the War God’s Domain, definitely had the strength of a Mid God!
This hammer blow surely couldn’t be blocked by mortals.
Even if it was Marvin, he would also have to retreat, right?
The others were enjoying the show.
As for Marvin, who was at the heart of the struggle, he was extremely calm.
He knew that his words just now would certainly make him a target.
But he had to do this.
His plan forced him to take risks, and although he didn’t particularly want to become enemies with everyone, he still needed to provoke them.
Although it was only the Berserk God’s attack, it represented the will of all the powerhouses present.
He was probing Marvin’s resolve with this blow.
If Marvin backed down, then his tyrannical appearance would completely crumble.
It would definitely be hard to build it up again afterwards!
At that instant, Marvin had no room for retreat.
He looked serious as he gently flipped the curved daggers in his hands and sheathed them back at his waist.
He completely activated all the Domains of the False Divine Vessel.
With the Shadow Domain in particular, under the bonuses of the Perfect Domain, Marvin seemed like the darkest shadow!
He was about to use Ruler’s Wrath to block this attack!
In order to end this as soon as possible and find Wayne, he would use this method!
“So what if it’s a Mid God… A borrowed Law Domain, I don’t believe it’s stronger than the ones I control.”
Marvin clenched his teeth, readying himself for the blow.
But suddenly, the sound of Dragons chanting echoed across the sky!
A huge claw appeared out of nowhere, stretching forward and hooking the iron hammer’s handle, stopping its powerful momentum!
The pressure of the wind that gusted out as a result was very fierce!
Marvin stood under the shadow of the hammer, motionless.
His hair was messy due to the wind, but a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
He wasn’t fighting alone after all.
Most of the powerhouses here might only care about dealing with Marvin, but he knew that the power of those in Feinan was greater than what these guys had thought!
Professor’s massive body hovered in the sky as he flung the hammer far into the distance!
“Miles, remember this. This is Feinan, not your Astral Sea!”
The Copper Dragon’s loud voice pealed throughout the First Mountain Range like a clap of thunder.
And after his appearance, shadow after shadow quickly flew to Marvin’s side.
They didn’t plan it, but they all spontaneously gathered by him.
The most powerful forces of Feinan were finally in the same place.
Legend Monk Inheim, who hadn’t been seen for a while as he recuperated from past injuries and tempered himself ever more; Ivan, the newly appointed Great Elven King, exuding the aura of a ruler; his imposingly domineering consort, the Sea Elven Queen; Fate Sorceress Jessica, the most powerful of the three sisters who were loved so much by the plane; the relatively newly ascended Valkyrie Eve, along with the son of the God of Dawn and Protection that she had kidnapped; the reclusive Blade Master Kangen, whose level of skill with swords was without peer… all of these, and a few others…
They had probably been among the spectators or hidden around the First Mountain Range, perhaps even in pocket dimensions, watching calmly all the while, since it had seemed that there wouldn’t be much of an issue for Marvin.
But now, when a true God from the Astral Sea came down to personally attack Marvin, they all couldn’t sit still. They hadn’t been called upon, but they came all the same.
They didn’t say anything and just silently stood at Marvin’s sides.
The powerful aura gradually spread around as they impassively stared at the intruders in the surroundings.
No one said anything.
But their actions were a clear reminder to the Astral Sea and the other forces:
This is Feinan.
Not the Astral Sea, nor Hell nor the Abyss…
It is Feinan.
The forces from Feinan were shockingly united.
There had been no prior negotiation. In this situation, the pressure from the invaders made them stand together.
Marvin felt rather moved.
Although Professor didn’t need to make a move since Marvin was sure that he could have withstood the Berserk God’s hammer, what made Marvin feel pleasantly surprised was that the Copper Dragon’s strength seemed to have increased.
In the past, Professor had been seriously injured due to his fight with Ancient Red Dragon Ell and fell to an assassination as a result. But in this life, Marvin changed his fate and played a critical effort in the Dragon God’s Wrath event, altering the course of history.
Professor didn’t have that world-shaking fight with Ell, and thus preserved his strength.
And from what Marvin could tell, his strength must have gone up a realm!
This might be related to Butterfly’s return. After all, increasing Professor’s realm wouldn’t require any particularly difficult actions. He only needed a large amount of time.
‘He should be about the same as me, with the level of strength second only to Plane Guardians…’
Noticing the power of the Dragon’s aura, Marvin was even more resolute.
With such a powerful group supporting him, he wouldn’t face the pressure of the Astral Sea, Hell, and the Abyss alone.
He stood with his back straight.
He stood at the forefront and could feel many gazes upon him.
Those behind him were all looking at him with trust.
They believed in him, and thus they stood behind him.
The meaning behind the actions of Feinan’s most powerful Legends was very clear. Regardless of who managed to acquire the Fate Tablet, it would belong to Feinan.
If those invaders wanted to conquer this world, they would face extreme resistance.
The battle for the Fate Tablet was just a preview for what was to come.
…
“You dare fight the Gods!”
After his attack failed, the Berserk God became angry as he reached out and recalled his hammer. He had been caught by surprise, but would not allow that to happen again.
The other powerhouses from that group were watching dumbfoundedly from the sidelines, but Feinan’s forces were united, giving the others a feeling of crisis.
One of them suddenly frowned and asked, “Holy Paul? Why are you standing over there? Is this the will of the God of Dawn?”
After these words came out, everyone focused their gazes on the man shrinking behind Eve.
Even Marvin and the Berserk God turned and looked at him strangely.
Feinan’s powerhouses and the Gods were antagonistic, so as the son of a God, it should be impossible for him to be behind Marvin.
Unless the God of Dawn and Protection had some other plans… But if that really was the case, then this would be terrible for the Astral Sea.
If the motives of the three Great Gods diverged, with one of them seeming to have chosen to support the leader of Feinan’s defenders, how could the others attack?
Could they even attack Holy Paul?
This would be a declaration of war against one of the most powerful Gods of the Astral Sea!
Even if the Apostles and Divine Servants wanted to attack anyways, their Gods certainly wouldn’t allow it. They knew that they would suffer from Anuba Grant’s fury afterwards if his son came to any harm, and they wouldn’t be long for the world.
Fortunately, Holy Paul simply explained, “I’ve been abducted, you can just ignore me.”
As he said this, he glanced timidly at Eve. The latter kept her face expressionless.
They were all stunned.
The son of the great God of Dawn and Protection descended to Feinan… and was abducted by a mortal?
What sort of preposterous excuse was that!
Some were already inwardly scolding Holy Paul for his shamelessness. He obviously was choosing to stand on the side of Marvin, but came up with such a flimsy excuse for it.
But the true powerhouses saw some clues.
Their eyes focused on a particular holy sword on Eve’s back.
Just from glancing too closely, they each felt like their Divine Source was on the brink of collapse!
The hearts of everyone there, including those nineteen, skipped a beat!
The Anzema Holy Sword!
A name even more frightening than that of Sodom’s Blades echoed in the Divine Servants’ minds.
The name of the Valkyrie that beheaded countless Ancient Angels and Devils came back from a long-forgotten corner of their memories.
If that sword was genuine… then Holy Paul might not be lying at all.
He really had been abducted.
The atmosphere became grimmer.
Even the overbearing Berserk God looked at Eve with a twinge of fear.
Marvin looked at this scene, a bit surprised.
To be honest, he didn’t know that much about Eve, and he hadn’t had much contact with her.
But he still knew a bit about the Valkyrie’s three Holy Swords. The three Holy Swords restrained all kinds of enemies in the Universe, and of them, the Anzema Holy Sword had been created by the 1st Generation Valkyrie in order to face the Gods themselves.
Like Sodom’s Blades, the Anzema Holy Sword had killed who knew how many Gods, and even Ancient Angels that were more powerful than Gods.
Thus, when these insignificant Divine Servants saw the Anzema Holy Sword, they felt like they were on the verge of having a mental breakdown.
If not them having enough willpower to barely resist, the bits of aura being scattered by the Anzema Holy Sword might have already destroyed their Divine Source!
Sodom’s Blades, the Anzema Holy Sword.
The group of peak powerhouses from Feinan standing near the Sky Tower.
Those people from the Astral Sea were speechless.
Feinan’s unyielding answer shocked them, and the frightening strength that they now displayed far exceeded what they had predicted!
Many of them started praying to their Gods… This was the biggest disadvantage of Divine Servants. So many years of firm obedience and belief in their Gods made them lose the ability to think on their own!
Whenever they met a problem, they would request help from their Gods.
Because the Gods always pointed out the bright path.
This was the power of faith, and the problem with faith.
The atmosphere was thick and oppressive.
The people in the First Mountain Range were split into three groups.
The most fearsome at the moment was naturally Feinan’s side, headed by Marvin and Eve. Next was the group of nineteen powerhouses headed by the few from the Astral Sea. The rest mostly came from Hell, the Abyss, and the Negative Energy Plane, silently forming a third force, but they were all on guard against each other.
Especially the Devils of the Nine Hells. They were more vigilant of each other than ever before. Diross’ unusual move threw the Nine Hells into sheer pandemonium. Meanwhile, the Demons of the Abyss didn’t even understand the concept of cooperation. They only knew how to bully the weak and destroy order. Among all the forces of the battlefield, the Abyss had the least interest in the Fate Tablet. They were just here to revel in the chaos.
Their strength came from Chaos Power, not from a Fate Tablet full of Order Power, so they only symbolically sent some Demons.
From their attitude, that group was most likely here to enjoy a good show.
…
As the tenuous standoff continued, the second azure stone flew out of the Sky Tower!
Marvin unhesitantly caught it and put it away in his pouch!
But this time, the others wouldn’t let him do as he wished. They couldn’t afford to.
“Give it to me!” the Berserk God bellowed as he rushed over!
The nineteen powerhouses all used their various abilities and a frightening meteor shower of Divine Spells rained down on Marvin!
The chaotic war erupted at that moment.
The side from the Astral Sea couldn’t endure any more.
Feinan’s defenders, represented by Marvin, had repeatedly provoked their bottom line. The mortals who used to be ants in their eyes dared to face them with such a mighty attitude. This was the biggest humiliation for the Divine Servants who had always been so proud of serving their Gods.
After the Berserk God attacked, the rest of the nineteen powerhouses all joined in too.
Marvin tightly gripped Sodom’s Blades.
He knew that they had to handle this attack properly.
Otherwise, the next attack wouldn’t be just a probe. It would turn into a savage melee between Feinan’s forces and all of the Universe’s forces.
But before he did anything, that feeling of being locked onto disappeared.
From beside him, a familiar and frantic aura suddenly burst out.
In the sky, a physical yet somehow incorporeal blade slashed down ruthlessly against the Berserk God’s hammer!
“Rumble!”
A loud sound burst out in the First Mountain Range. The earth started shaking, and if not for Order Power maintaining the stability of the space in the area, it might have been torn apart!
The Berserk God groaned, and before everyone’s very eyes, he was sent flying!
Blade Master Kangen’s tall silhouette stood on that iron hammer.
His hair was loose, apparently messy from the soundwave that had rang out.
“I heard your older brother killed one of my close friends.”
Kangen’s voice was very calm, but in the ears of the Divine Servants, it actually sounded terrifying. “I’ve never had many friends. It was quite disheartening to hear that one of them was killed.”
The Berserk God’s expression became very grave.
How many people in Feinan had been approaching the level of the Plane Guardians in Feinan?!
And that slash showed a frightening strength that clearly exceeded the capabilities of mankind.
But from what he could see, the man with pale hair was clearly an ordinary Human!
How could he break through the shackles of the weak bodies possessed by mankind?
No one could answer him, as the fight had already started.
Blade Master Kangen’s fierce offensive repelled all the Divine Spells as the blade in his hand stabbed at the Berserk God’s body!
Desperation Style.
Marvin’s eyes shone.
No wonder this seemed so familiar.
The same Martial Path technique. It felt a bit different in the hands of its creator.
Although Marvin understood some of its essence, he still couldn’t fully display the fiercest part of this Blade Technique Style.
He naturally knew what Kangen’s words meant.
As someone who had been found guilty and then exiled, Kangen didn’t have many acquaintances, and the Cloud Monk, who was the Plane Guardian of the West, was one of his few friends.
The Cloud Monk was the last to die outside the Universe Magic Pool, and everyone felt the awe of his heroic death.
He died at the hands of the three Great Gods.
The Berserk God’s older brother, the War God, naturally had a share of responsibility.
In fact, all the Gods of the Astral Sea shared responsibility for his death.
It was quite natural to want to avenge his close friend.
Similarly, Ivan and the Sea Elven Queen advanced side by side.
They were holding two swords, Glorious Wind and Agate, both of them inheritances from the High Elves.
“I also have some debts that I need you to repay.”
Ivan held the sword in one hand, staring fearlessly at the Divine Power surging from the enemies.
That was the father he respected and cherished.
From childhood to adulthood, he had only wanted one thing, which was to obtain his father’s approval.
Unfortunately, he never did get such an opportunity.
That Great Elven King who always made decisions on his own had already disappeared from this world.
That sword of the Nine Elven Swords in Ivan’s hand burst out with the killing intent that had accumulated over the ages!
…
The curtain of the chaotic war had been raised completely.
There were Draconic chants in the sky as power was gathered, blades’ shadows swishing through the air as the Great Elven King weaved between swarms of Divine Spells, and dust filling the sky as the Legend Monk struck out with his iron fists. Jessica’s Fate Power suddenly burst out. In that instant, Divine Law also lost its splendor.
In this part of the First Mountain Range, Feinan’s most frightening war since the 3rd Era was unfolding.
Divine Servants from the Astral Sea and Feinan’s powerhouses were entangled and the battle situation kept changing!
In less than a minute, two of the 19 Divine Servants were killed!
And the Berserk God himself nearly had his Divine Source eviscerated by Blade Master Kangen!
Marvin had yet to make any significant move, and despite Feinan’s powerhouses being at a numerical disadvantage, the outcome seemed clear.
To everyone’s great shock, Feinan’s side was actually winning!
The duo of Kangen and Professor was really too sharp.
These two powerhouses on the level of Half-Plane Guardians fended off the bulk of the attacks of the Divine Servants. The combination of Ivan and the Sea Elven Queen was also dazzlingly mighty. The two Divine Servants who fell just before had lost their lives to the Nine Elven Swords.
Marvin was stunned, and also gratified.
His efforts didn’t go to waste. His transmigration allowed most of Feinan’s powerhouses to survive the troubled times.
To a certain extent, this was all a result of him changing history.
Marvin wasn’t the only one from Feinan’s side who had yet to make a move. Someone else also remained silent.
That was Eve.
She still kept her attention on the battlefield, but she didn’t seem to have any plans to get involved.
Marvin couldn’t figure out what she was thinking about.
He had a faint feeling, a feeling as if Eve was paying more attention to himself than the other people on the battlefield.
But on the other hand, she was detaining the son of the God of Dawn and Protection after all, so she probably truly couldn’t make a move.
At this point, Marvin decided to start the second step of his plan.
He suddenly took a step forward and took out the second azure stone.
In that instant, besides the two forces currently in battle, the 3rd group, as well as those Divine Servants that hadn’t joined in, all glanced at Marvin.
Marvin raised the azure stone in his hand and quickly said, “If a person can provide the specific location of this child, this stone will belong to them.”
The words were followed by a portrait appearing in Marvin’s hands.
That was Wayne’s portrait.
Everyone glanced at it while simultaneously adopting expressions of incredulity.
Marvin was actually trying to use them?
Was that guy crazy?
“I can give you some time to consider it.”
Marvin then put away the azure stone and glanced at those who were battling.
Now, he would strike.
As Sodom’s Blades were unsheathed, a frightening killing intent burst out.
He didn’t care that they were from the Astral Sea. He would kill them without leaving anything behind!
Starting from today, he would let the Gods know what the name Marvin bespoke!
But at this time, a warm feeling burst out from Marvin’s Bloodline.
In front of everyone, Marvin’s body started burning!
