Chapter 410 The Death of Herbert (Please Subscribe!)
dead.

Death appeared out of nowhere from behind, climbing up my calves.

The icy sensation gradually rose upwards, finally gripping the throat and making it difficult to breathe.

Death's tongue licked Herbert's cheek, mocking his struggle.

Even with death looming nearby, and the Grim Reaper constantly beckoning him.

But in that moment of confusion, Herbert subconsciously recalled a not-so-funny hellish joke.

He looked down at his empty chest, forced a dry smile.

Where is my heart?
Am I... blurred out?

Is it going to transform into a Minotaur and use Cero next?

Oh, right, there's one more thing.

"Now, my heart won't be shattered into many pieces. Looks like I'll never be a scumbag in this lifetime... Ha!"

After mocking himself for a while, Herbert squinted and licked the blood from the corner of his mouth.

"Tsk."

Joking aside, Herbert didn't want things to really end like this.

I'm not ready to die yet!

He snapped back to his senses, then pressed his hand to his chest, gathering all the holy power there.

Holy Light Healing.

Flesh and blood regeneration technique.

regeneration!

regeneration! !
regeneration! ! !

In that critical moment, Herbert's eyes hardened, his mind clear and exceptionally calm.

calm.

I cannot die, nor will I die.

Having gained the ability to manipulate flesh and blood from Svanee, he can still control such injuries.

In addition, there are all the physical enhancements that have been accumulated over the years.

A mere fatal wound won't kill me!
Flesh manipulation tightens the flesh of the wound, preventing further bleeding.

The icy body temporarily transforms the wound into an elemental state, preventing further deterioration.

Demon Body: Hardens the body, enhancing the defense of other vital areas to prevent the next sneak attack.

In the blink of an eye, thanks to Herbert's all-out treatment, he was out of danger from a life-threatening situation where "his heart had been ripped out."

Although he was still severely injured, at least he was out of danger and wouldn't die on the spot.

At this moment, Herbert, who had narrowly escaped death, was far from relaxed.

We dare not relax, nor can we relax.

We're safe... temporarily.

Surviving for now is not the point; if he can't solve the biggest problem, he will still die eventually.

So, here's the question... who betrayed me?
Having used the power of the Sun Pope, the God of Lust should have no other means left.

Herbert was never careless when faced with lust.

Although he always showed disdain for Him, arrogantly despising the gods as a mortal, he was never the slightest bit careless in his heart.

Strategically despise the enemy, tactically pay attention to the enemy!
After several rounds of probing, Herbert was 100% certain that the winged serpent avatar of the Demonic Desire had no more tricks up its sleeve.

Completely exhausted.

Even if they fight to the death, it will only be a desperate struggle and make the current situation even worse.

For a proud god, this is probably even more unacceptable than being killed.

Unless, of course, the evil desire is truly enraged by Herbert and recklessly sends its true form to earth, then it can do more.

But the question is, would lust really do that?

He won't.

Herbert was absolutely certain of this.

Absolutely not!

Because if it really comes to that... hey, then it won't be him, the imposter angel, who has to fight against Him.

His true adversaries have been waiting impatiently for a long time.

That will be a true feast of god-slaying.

Even without the Sun God personally intervening, the Pope of the Sun alone would not have allowed Him to escape so easily.

Even if the Pope of the Blazing Sun can't defeat him, he will stall until other saints arrive, or even until a true god comes!

Lust is no ordinary evil god.

Even among all the evil gods, He was one of the ones with a very low moral standard; compared to Him, most evil gods were considered benevolent.

Not to mention the righteous gods who hate Him, even most of the evil gods dislike Him.

The relationship between the gods is ridiculously bad.

However, the "wicked desire" isn't the pitiful kind of personality that's isolated and bullied; rather, it's the type where one person turns around and isolates everyone else...

They have successfully disgusted everyone with their utterly shameless moral standards!

He most enjoys having his followers corrupt the followers of other gods...

Therefore, as long as the evil desire is aware of its universally condemned status and does not want to be completely killed by its victims, it will absolutely not take action in its true form.

But... if it wasn't lust that caused it, then who was it?

Does He have another plan?

With this question in mind, Herbert turned to look behind him.

Who exactly is betraying me?

Turning around, Herbert saw a spatial rift that was slowly healing, and a filthy, blood-stained hand emerging from it.

The dirty hand was wrapped in yellowed, old bandages, and through the gaps, one could see half-rotten pustules.

And a still-beating heart was tightly gripped by that hand.

Herbert's Heart.

"Oh? Hehe, you're still alive? Hehe, good, very good!"

The owner of the dirty hands noticed Herbert's gaze, paused in surprise for a moment, and then burst into cheerful laughter.

The previously shrunken crack widened, revealing half of an ugly face wrapped in dark red bandages.

"Hehehe, hehe, I'll take your heart! Hehe..." The ugly-faced monster winked mockingly at Herbert and burst into maniacal laughter.

After seeing the other person's face clearly, Herbert's heart sank.

He finally realized where he went wrong.

I had meticulously planned and considered every possible preparation for my wicked desires, but I had completely forgotten about this one.

Yes, Herbert missed something.

Besides lust... there are other enemies.

Evil God!

It's those damned evil gods again!
The God of Evil Desire is cautious and dares not descend in his true form, but this has never meant that other evil gods dare not.

Among that group of insane evil gods, there is never a shortage of mindless lunatics.

Herbert recognized the "bandaged monster" deity before him.

Gluckzak, the goblin-born god of assassination and stealth.
Although he only possesses low-level divine power, he is a rather insane and abstract evil god.

How abstract is it exactly...? Let's put it this way, Gluckzak has a peculiar hobby.

He had a great fondness for assassinating the chosen ones of other gods and swallowing their hearts and souls to satisfy his morbid desires.

Moreover, he is a typical antisocial character, consistently adhering to his indiscriminate crime-solving style.

He assassinated the favored one of the gods of hatred.

Even those with whom there is no enmity will not be spared.

The main principle is to treat everyone equally and leave no one out.

Because of this unique hobby, His desire to fight and kill was almost as intense as His lust.

Logically speaking, with His power, He shouldn't have the right to be as arrogant as lust; sooner or later He would be investigated.

But Gluckzak has one advantage—he is very good at hiding himself.

With the power of [concealment], He could even escape from the hands of some high-ranking deities who were not good at tracking.

As long as the other party doesn't track down any related divine officials, He can successfully shake them off. "...Tsk."

After recognizing the other person's identity, Herbert understood why He had betrayed him.

This evil god must have considered himself a chosen one of the sun god.

Then, tempted by the temptation, I couldn't resist and took action.

After figuring out the reason, Herbert felt dizzy and realized that he was truly wronged.

What the hell...

After suffering this unwarranted and undeserved calamity, Herbert wanted nothing more than to shout a curse.

I am not favored by the gods!

Who the hell is a chosen one of the sun god?!?

Being wrongly killed for no reason had already made Herbert grit his teeth, but what made him grit his teeth even tighter... was another discovery.

Some people are unfamiliar with Gluckzak, but Herbert was different; he had learned some secret knowledge from the tail of a certain snake.

Everyone knows that Gluckzak often appears as a blindfolded beggar, a black-robed assassin with a missing arm, or the incarnation of a zombie, hiding in the shadows to assassinate his chosen targets.

But few people know what His true form looks like.

"...It's truly an honor."

Herbert swallowed the blood in his throat, twitched his lips, and laughed self-deprecatingly, "I've really made something of myself, to be assassinated by a god himself."

Yes, the ugly figure wrapped in a shroud before us is Gluckzak's original face.

This insane guy actually chose to descend in his true form!!?
"Strange, why weren't you poisoned? Hehe, strange." Gluckzak blinked at Herbert, who was still lively and energetic, and muttered with great curiosity.

He was very skilled in using poisons, and the "Shroud of Filth" that wrapped around him was also a divine artifact, which itself carried terrible corpse poison and blasphemous power. Just touching it was enough to kill an ordinary legend.

Leaving aside legends, even some epics might not be able to completely resist the corrosive power of this filthy force.

As a result, Herbert didn't react at all?

It was as if they hadn't noticed the toxin at all!
That's strange.

Could it be that he is carrying a magical item to combat blasphemous forces?

Hehe, never mind, it's not important!
He's going to die anyway, so there's no harm in living a little longer.

“Hey, Gluckzak.”

A cold, emotionless voice interrupted Gluckzak's strange laughter, and Herbert raised an eyebrow slightly.

They all looked at the one who had spoken—it was the God of Lust.

At this moment, the winged serpent avatar of the God of Lust, whose heart had been pierced by the scepter and was gradually losing its vitality, frowned.

He coldly said to the thief in the crevice, "What are you doing? His soul already belongs to me."

The god of lust has sworn to kill Herbert with his own hands, corrupt his soul, and then allow him to be reborn in his own divine kingdom.

He believed that Herbert's soul could absolutely be reborn as the Holy Spirit in God's Kingdom, or even be born from God!

And now... what are you doing here?
Who the hell do you think you are?

You want to take it from me?
Do you have that ability?!
He looked down on the god of assassination with displeasure and sneered.

The meaning of "wicked desire" is clear: make Gluckzak let Herbert's soul go and get lost, otherwise... ha.

Given the power of lust, he is indeed qualified to say such things.

But the problem is—the other party simply ignores him.

"Hahaha!"

Gluckzak laughed and made a mocking gesture at the winged snake.

"Who cares about you, you idiot! Whoever gets it keeps it!"

"His soul is mine!"

Herbert's tenacious vitality exceeded the evil god's expectations, but that was not a problem.

Having said that, fearing that lust would try to snatch it away, He opened His mouth wide and shoved Herbert's heart into it, chewing it forcefully.

Pfft, pfft.

In an instant, blood splattered everywhere.

Although the sneak attack did not kill Herbert directly, and the poison had no effect, and the Saint was about to arrive to take action... He was not flustered at all.

Because, besides [concealment], He also holds another authority!
Having taken control of the divine authority of assassination, He also obtained Herbert's heart.

With this spellcasting material, it wouldn't be difficult for Him to directly annihilate a mortal using the power of the laws.

"Die, mortal."

"Your soul, hehe, is mine now!!!"

At the moment his heart was crushed, Herbert also felt a sharp pain all over his body, unable to resist. He staggered and fell backward helplessly.

Valentina, who was standing at Herbert's feet and whose senses had been blocked by him, was unaware of what had happened, but at this moment she suddenly realized that something was wrong.

"Herbert!?"

!!!

"What happened? Don't just stay silent!!!"

Valentina turned around in alarm, wanting to see what had happened to Herbert.

Then, she saw a scene that chilled her to the bone.

Herbert, covered in blood with a large hole in his chest, noticed her, mustered his strength, forced a smile, and whispered:

"Don't worry, I'm not..."

Then, before he could finish speaking, his soul vanished, his eyes lost their light, and he fell backward.

"Herbert!!!"

At the same moment, the previously silent Holy City of Glory suddenly erupted with a terrifying power.

The saint was enraged.

In the temple of the sun god, the old man who had been dozing suddenly opened his eyes, his eyes burning with wild flames.

"Gluckzak!!!"

The Pope's roar echoed across the sky.

The sudden burst of power startled everyone watching.

Gluckzak, sensing the Sun Pope's murderous intent, became even more excited, his smile growing even more manic.

He enjoys the process; the anger and sorrow of others only bring Him greater pleasure!

"Hahahaha... Hmm?"

The frenzied evil god blinked, watching the figure falling backward on the dragon's back, and a big question mark suddenly flashed through his mind.

?

It feels like something's missing.
Something seems off?
"..."

He smacked his lips and widened his eyes uncertainly.

Where is his soul?

"……Um?"

In the pure white and tranquil space, Herbert slowly opened his eyes.

He stared at the familiar ceiling, blinked, his lips twitched, and he murmured, "Where am I...?"

"Welcome!"

A pleasant sound came from beside her ear, making Herbert's eyes light up.

"Aren't you curious about where you are right now?"

"This is hell~ or rather, the abyss~"

Turning around, she saw the beautiful deity squatting beside her with a smile, playfully winking at her.

"Um……"

Herbert pondered for a moment, then asked in return:
You're saying this is hell? The abyss?

"Yes~"

So, I'm dead?

"That's right, it's you..."

The god raised a finger and gently poked the mortal's head, saying with a smile:

"He's already dead~"
