Gatekeeper of all realms

Chapter 336 First Intimate Contact

"Do you want to die in my hands?"

As Chatelet spoke, an invisible, powerful force reverberated in the magic hut.

The insect mother did not respond.

However, in this narrow space, another force emerged.

It came from the insect mother's body, and as soon as it appeared, it immediately began to confront the previous force.

Shen Ye glanced towards the window.

"Save me in the mirror!"

He disappeared from where he was and landed lightly in the mirror world.

It worked!
Chatelet merged all personalities to become the strongest of the nine phases!

The enemy is the Emperor Insect Queen.

If I just stand aside during this battle, I would be seeking death.

It’s better to get out of the way quickly.

So that Chatelet wouldn't have to worry about taking care of himself.

Shen Ye looked outside the mirror.

The two forces were entangled, causing everything around them to collapse and spread out into the distance.

The whole world fell into silence.

A sense of solemnity and murderous intent quietly arose, instantly sweeping across the world.

The insect queen was still floating in the air, and finally spoke:
"A fifth-level ant in the Dharma Realm dares to kill my offspring. This matter will not end like this."

"What do you want?" asked Chatelet.

"I want him to die." said the Insect Mother.

"As long as I live, he will not die," said Chatelet.

"Is it that serious? Are you going to risk your life with me for a guy who is only at the fifth level of the Dharma Realm?" said the Insect Mother grimly.

"Playing with your life... You think too highly of yourself." Chatelet laughed.

"You are just a human being, born in such an inferior universe. Don't you think you are too arrogant?" asked the Insect Queen.

"What about you? You guard the fallen fairyland civilization, but you don't have the courage to go to the center of the universe to challenge the guardian. What are you?" Chatele asked back.

Moment.

The two disappeared from the spot.

Waited for a few breaths.

Still nothing happened.

As time passed, the two top powerhouses never showed up.

Shen Ye squatted in the mirror world and looked at it for a while, and couldn't help frowning.

The hillside was in a mess.

The magic hut and even the surrounding mountains and forests were plowed into flat land.

But all the power fluctuations subsided.

"…No, we must think of a way to see how this battle goes."

Shen Ye muttered to himself.

With my own strength, if I approach a battlefield of this magnitude, I might die.

What should I do?
A thought flashed through Shen Ye's mind.

He appeared quietly from the void and landed gently in front of the shattered mirror.

at the same time--

Annie, the living soul doll far away in the imperial capital, suddenly moved.

Annie raised her head and glanced at the sky, and immediately saw what Shen Ye could not see.

"What an amazing force...it turns out that this battle is being fought in the universe."

Annie's figure soared into the sky, quickly passed through the atmosphere and entered the dark universe.

Following the violent energy waves of the battle, she flew at full speed and finally saw a blurry afterimage.

Infinite, all-destructive power emanates from the afterimage.

The surrounding planets changed their orbits and all moved slowly away from the afterimage.

Anne looked at the blurry, changing afterimage, and suddenly understood.

These are two top-notch warriors, fighting with all their might.

Because they were moving so fast, even Annie could only see a shadow.

Annie was watching with bated breath when she suddenly saw the afterimage fade away and the two people separated.

Finished?
No, it's not that the fight is over, but——

"The Dharma has arrived."

The Insect Mother shouted.

——This is a fight of all strength, to the death!

Anne quickly turned her head and looked at Chatelet.

Just as Chatelet was about to make a magic seal, a long tail thorn broke his hands apart.

not good!

Anne's heart sank.

This slowdown was almost decisive.

The Insect Mother’s Dharma image suddenly unfolded.

In this dark universe, there appeared a female corpse as big as several planets connected together.

The woman had her eyes tightly closed, half of her flesh and blood had turned to bones, and the other half was wriggling.

However, a giant insect with an equally huge body grabbed the woman tightly, held her in its arms, and its mouthparts were like long sharp spikes, piercing into the back of the woman's head.

Dharmadhatu·Holy Corpse Insect Demon!

"Haha," the insect mother laughed triumphantly, "you don't stand a chance."

But in the Dharma image, the woman slowly opened her eyes.

The dark universe was suddenly filled with an indescribable sense of vicissitudes, as if endless years ago, some extremely great will had awakened again.

Chatelet's pupils suddenly shrank and he immediately took a defensive stance.

Anne just watched this scene from a distance, and the surface of her body began to decay, so she had to retreat further away.

the other side.

Shen Ye withdrew consciousness from Annie and opened his eyes in the nightmare world.

"Not good, we must find a way to help her--"

"But if even Annie can't get close, what else can I do?"

Shen Ye felt anxious.

Was it because the fight with the demon of fear was too long that she consumed too much strength?

So much effort.

Time and again, I come out of the painful journey.

Are we just going to give up halfway?

Will she die?

No!

Shen Ye suddenly remembered something.

——Chatlet originally wanted to evolve the profession of "Lifeless Soul Master".

With her talent, after fighting the Black King, she not only mastered the power of devouring personalities, but also began to push her career to a higher level.

Charluchitolic, the creator of the Fourth Era, once said that the profession deduced by Chatelet would be "unique" if it evolved to a higher level.

but--

There are currently two incumbents of the position of “Lord of the Soulless Soul”.

So this profession is stuck and cannot continue to advance!
Not only that.

I am the last jailer of the cage of "five desires".

Only when I die will the cage collapse completely, and Chatelet's power will be completely liberated!
There was no time to hesitate.

"The stars change."

Shen Ye growled.

With this ability, he left coordinates at the spot, and then -

The Guanghan bow appeared quietly, and an arrow was shot into the sky, drawing a graceful arc and landing on Shen Ye's shoulder again.

"One-stop service in heaven" activated!
"A long-range attack will cause the target to jump through space and be sent directly to the deep world of death."

"——Funeral one-stop service, safe, fast and efficient, everyone who has used it says it's good!"

Swish!
Shen Ye appeared directly in purgatory.

Although I have entered the world of "death" and can be considered dead, this is not enough!

——The profession of “Lord of No Life”!

Only if he loses this profession, the "Living Soul Master" in Chatelet will be advanced to the only new profession!

But how do you lose this job?

“…Fusion.”

Yes, even if it means messing around now, we have to get rid of this profession!

Following Shen Ye's will, lines of dim words quickly emerged:
"You have activated the power of the 'Vampire Baby' (Golden Legend) entry and are fusing the following professions:"

"'Darkness Devourer' and 'Lifeless Lord'."

"Fusion failed."

"Please note that the gold-level entry 'Vampire Baby' can only be combined with entries, (same category) items, (same category) skills."

“The professions cannot be integrated.”

Tsk.

What a hassle!

——Hurry up, think about it, is there any other way?

Oh, right, skills.

Skills of the same category can be combined.

What is connected with that profession?

door!
The skill "Self in the Mirror" from the Lord of No Life brought about the White Gate, which evolved into the Hanged Man's Gate.

If you merge it with your original door——

Doesn't this mean that my door ability has produced a super evolution effect, and the door created by "Myself in the Mirror" has disappeared!
Is this kind of reverse reasoning useful?
Never mind, let’s give it a try!

Following Shen Ye's will, the small words appeared again in the void:
"You have activated the power of the 'Vampire Baby' (Golden Legend) entry and are integrating talents and skills of the same category:"

"'The Gate of the Two Worlds' and 'The Gate of the Hanged Man'."

"Congratulations!"

"This fusion produced a super evolutionary effect."

"In addition, because you lost your original 'Hanged Man's Gate', your skill 'Mirror Image' was destroyed." "You lost the skill 'Mirror Image'."

"You have lost your profession 'Lord of the Unborn'."

"Your current talent skill is advanced to——"

Shen Ye was in no mood to watch, and instead directed his mental energy once again towards the Annie doll floating in the universe.

and many more.

Why can’t I project my mental power?
Oh……

I am in purgatory, separated by several worlds.

Shen Ye felt ashamed.

at the same time.

in the universe.

Chatelet crashed through a planet and was hit continuously by an invisible force, unable to even fight back.

“Haha, you were so arrogant just now, but it turns out you are only this good!”

The insect mother couldn't help but burst out laughing.

A certain moment.

Chatelet suddenly sensed something.

She said:

"wait for me a while."

"Wait for you? You're dreaming." The Insect Queen once again performed a magic trick.

But Chatelet suddenly disappeared.

——Disappeared in front of the Insect Queen so casually.

In purgatory.

Shen Ye rode on a four-clawed, hard-shelled, short-tailed skeleton beast and roared:
"Run faster!"

"I'm fast enough!" shouted the four-clawed, hard-shelled, short-tailed skeleton beast.

"But it's not enough! If you continue to slack off, we'll all be finished!" Shen Ye shouted while looking back.

I saw a large group of hellish monsters with hellfire burning all over their bodies chasing after me.

——Do you want to kill a few of them?

They won't go berserk.

Shen Ye hesitated.

"In front! Shen Ye! Look ahead!" The voice of the big skeleton sounded from under his feet.

Are there any monsters?

Shen Ye immediately turned his head and looked forward.

There was a man standing on a huge black rock in front.

A beautiful woman in a red dress.

Chatelet.

"You - no way, you are dead too?" Shen Ye said in a lost voice.

Chatelaine sighed silently and glanced at the monsters behind Shen Ye.

Moment.

All the monsters disappeared.

Followed by.

An invisible force emanated from Chatelet.

Take a breath.

Two breaths.

The whole purgatory seemed to have become quiet.

"Hello, could you please step aside for a moment? I have something to tell him." Chatelet said apologetically to the king.

"Ah good!"

The four-clawed, hard-shelled, short-tailed skeleton beast nodded quickly, jumped up with a few "chi chi ka ka" sounds, turned into a skeleton form, and returned to the Dharma form.

Only Shen Ye was left there.

— and Chatelet.

Chatelaine jumped down from the rock and walked towards Shen Ye step by step, saying:
"I noticed very early on that someone else had taken on the position of 'Master of the Immortal Soul'."

"As I continued to investigate, I realized it was you."

She looked at Shen Ye carefully.

"What is your purpose? What do you want to gain by approaching me? Do you want to kill me, or do you desire something else?"

"—you know, I have to consider this."

Shen Ye nodded and said, "It is indeed worth considering."

"But you do a good job, I think you can be my subordinate," said Chatelet.

"Of course I do a good job." Shen Ye said.

"And then...you got involved in my battle of personalities, and actually caught me."

Chatelet walked up to the young man, looked up at him, and continued:

"My life originally had no way out, but you changed the path I took and made all my real memories beautiful."

"This is good."

"So there's only one last question—"

"You approached me as 'The Lord of No Life'. What exactly do you want to gain from me?"

Chatelet looked him in the eyes.

The young man said, "I only gained strength to survive."

"At any time, I would never believe such words, because this profession is of great importance, and in the multiple higher universes, countless beings covet this profession."

Chatelet said.

"So what?" Shen Ye asked.

"So I just kept getting beaten on purpose, just to see what you would do."

"——When you resolutely gave up this profession, the last bit of doubt in my heart disappeared."

Chatelet smiled gently.

She reached out her hand and gently stroked Shen Ye's face, then stood on tiptoe and tilted her head slightly so that her lips could kiss him.

Raw and immature.

"It's Lancy."

she says.

Separate and come again.

Gentle and cooperative.

"It's Peasso."

She said, kissing him again.

Shy and brave.

"It's Annie."

She stepped back a bit, then moved closer again.

Soft and slightly cool.

The chaotic thoughts fell silent along with the world.

He just felt that he had broken out of his shell from all the suffering, passed through the vast night sky, and was quietly and eternally coexisting with billions of stars in the universe.

Needless to say this time.

It's Chatelet.

In purgatory, a scorching wind blew from afar for a long time, but it did not blow away the human figures.

She stared at him and whispered:
"I'm leaving."

"Where to?" he asked.

"After I kill that bug and help you arrange this history, I will go far away."

"Far away..." Shen Ye repeated.

"Yes, this layer of the universe is called the 'Indeterminate Layer'. It is the lowest layer of the multiverse. Every 30,000 years, a catastrophe will erupt and completely destroy it."

“There are two things worth noting on this floor.”

"One is a dead planet. It is a speck of dust that fell from the extremely high-dimensional upper universe, but the dust contains the secrets of the fairyland of the upper universe."

"This planet is controlled by bugs. They are using it as bait while studying the fairyland."

"—I'll crush those bugs to death."

"Another one worth noting is the Black King."

"It is a master sent down from the upper universe to assist the catastrophe in clearing up everything, but it will also select some people who are worth recruiting and send them to the upper universe."

"Remember these two points. As for the history, I will arrange it."

"I have to go now."

"My energy fluctuations will soon exceed the upper limit of this 'indeterminate' universe, and someone from a higher-dimensional universe will come to pick me up. This is something that cannot be refused, and even I cannot resist it."

"Once you are found with me, it will harm you."

"So I have to leave early."

Chatelet put his arms around his neck, tilted his head back, and kissed him gently on the cheek.

Reluctant to give up.

He felt their deep attachment.

"Baxter."

"what?"

"Become stronger and come to me in the higher universe - you always do what I say, don't you?"

"This seems very difficult. I don't know if I can do it." The boy couldn't help but sigh.

With the other party's "Baxter", a certain term seemed to begin to evolve again.

But the boy didn't have time to watch.

"Then you only have one way left," said Chatelet in a teasing tone.

"what?"

"I have established myself in the higher universe, and I will take you up there - I will support you from now on."

Chatelet smiled at him, as bright and beautiful as a star.

The wind blew again.

The flames of purgatory shot straight into the sky, slowly floating above the clouds, illuminating a colorful world.

She disappeared.
