Chapter 208 Death, the real death (please subscribe, read, comment on the monthly ticket)
Martin did not break free from Kronos's chains by his own strength.

The King of Gods is the King of Gods after all. Even if he is a loser who was driven off the throne, the power of time and space represented by Kronos is not something Martin can deal with today.

When the chain forged by time bit Martin's ankle, he had already lost the chance to leave.

Time is everywhere, and so are constraints.

No matter how Martin computerizes himself, he cannot escape the thin chain and can only be dragged into the abyss that is undergoing major changes.

The Abyss welcomed this very much, but the Infinite Abyss had no intention of assimilating Martin, and only begged him to help itself.

Kronos disappeared.

He fiercely resisted the invitation of the abyss, and did not want to enter any new world. He even wanted to destroy the seedlings that had just sprouted.

The infinite consciousness in the abyss was originally polite to these foreign creatures, but when faced with a diehard like Kronos, it finally launched a counterattack, directly diluting his consciousness in the infinite, turning it into some kind of mechanical natural phenomenon.

As Abyss fought against Kronos, Martin saw Death.

The words were not meant to describe it, he actually saw Death: a young pale Goth woman in casual clothes - a black top and jeans, with an ankh necklace and a mark resembling the Eye of Horus in her right eye.

She stood there, and seemed to look down by chance, saw Martin, reached out her hand, and pulled Martin out of the abyss.

Kronos's chains of time, the ever-changing infinite abyss.
No force could stop the girl's casual grab, and Martin escaped from the abyss and returned to the underworld in Kronos's unwillingness.

"Cough cough!"

Martin couldn't help coughing twice. He was not immortal. The power of Kronos and the abyss acted on him at the same time, and finally injured him.

Death stood in the underworld, tiptoeing to look into the abyss, like a girl who saw a piece of jewelry she liked and looked into the store.

"It's all beautiful, isn't it?"

Martin knew who Death was, but did not answer the other party's question. Instead, he went to care about Diana's situation first.

Diana just lay there, and she looked unchanged, still as beautiful as ever, but she did not open her eyes and was still in a coma.

Martin took a deep breath, used the caduceus as a crutch, struggled to stand up, and walked towards Diana.

"The child is fine. You used such an extreme method to bring her out of the abyss. It was a great blow to her will. It will take time for her to recover."

Death looked at Martin's staggering gait, withdrew his gaze from the abyss, and stopped him.

Martin did not doubt Death's words. As the most cheerful, down-to-earth, and lively being in the Endless Family, Death was neither cruel nor merciful, but respected every life.

If she said Diana was fine, she would be right.

"I didn't expect you to appear here?" Martin sat down on the ground and expressed his surprise.

Death, the second sister of the Endless family, an existence older than the gods.

Death appeared shortly before the first life form appeared in the universe, and she will function as the concept of death until the last living thing dies.

After that, she is destined to let the universe rest, and when all cosmic creation ends, death will close the world and leave.

Although Death's background is very noble, it is not difficult to meet her.

It is said that everyone sees her twice in their life, once at birth and once at death.

When a life is born, death appears to bless it.

When a life is dying, death will also appear and lead them to the end.

"When you thought of killing Diana, I foresaw Diana's death and appeared beside you."

Death sat next to Martin without any hesitation, and the two men began to chat like old friends who had not seen each other for a long time.

"I was originally prepared to take that scarred child to the peaceful rest of death. But I never expected that you would use such a violent method to reshape her life."

Martin knew very well how painful this move would be.

He shook his head, sighed and said, "I had no other choice at the time!"

The infinite consciousness of the abyss's desire to fill its own emptiness is so terrifying that even a god-king like Kronos cannot resist it, let alone Diana?

"But you held on. This abyss beneath our feet didn't do anything to you?"

Death's eyes sparkled as she stared at Martin, hoping that his answer would satisfy her curiosity.

Martin looked up at the gray sky in the underworld and said in a deep voice: "I am an exception, the special one, it has always been like this!"

He knew that the reason Death asked this question was obviously because he had noticed something special about him.

But Martin had no intention of hiding it. It was not something to be ashamed of, and death was not his enemy.

Martin even felt relieved that there was finally someone in this world who could see through him.

He was finally no longer the only exception, the only special one.

Mom and Dad, Guo Morona, Bruce and Clark, Diana and Barbara
Martin recalled his relatives and friends in his mind, and the worries that had always existed in his heart emerged faintly.

He was worried that one day, when he opened his eyes, all the friends he knew would suddenly disappear because of him.

Martin had thought about this many times, but he suppressed the thought as soon as it came to his mind.

He didn't even dare to imagine that possibility.

Whenever he thought about how, in this huge world, there was no one he was familiar with, and he was left alone, wandering in countless worlds, Martin felt suffocated, frightened, and even had the urge to go with them.

"Sorry, sorry!"

The sound of death rang out, pulling Martin out of his state of self-abandonment.

Martin felt dizzy and finally realized that something was wrong. He was indeed afraid that those familiar people would go away from him, and he buried this thought deep in his heart, but he never had the thought of committing suicide.

This sudden accident must have been caused by external interference.

Of course, the only person who can influence Martin is the great god of death.

Death did not hide his actions and sincerely apologized to Martin, saying, "I'm sorry. I just wanted to see where you came from, but I didn't expect your experience to be so complicated. I was fascinated by it. I ignored the impact on you.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry! Please forgive me!"

Death folded his hands and begged Martin for forgiveness.

Although she is one of the most powerful beings in the countless DC worlds, there is no divinity in her.

Kindness and youth, liveliness and steadiness, enthusiasm and calmness... countless opposite temperaments are concentrated in her, making her like a strange Gothic girl.

"Okay, I forgive you!"

Martin did not cause trouble for Death: "You are the great god of the Endless Family, so what if I don't forgive you?"

"I am a reasonable person!"

Death stood up, put his hands on his hips, and said unhappily, "If you feel dissatisfied, please tell me, and I will do my best to make it up to you."

Martin really had no intention of causing trouble for Death. He knew very well that beings like Death were not like Hades and his gang who were trying to accumulate divine power or compete for believers.

Death itself is power. She just stands there, and even if she does nothing, she can make everything around her slowly die.

This is much better than the Black Death Emperor.

It's just that Death doesn't want to do this.

"If you insist, help me remove Kronos's time chains."

Martin raised his right hand and shook it gently. The transparent crystal chains filled with colorful light collided with each other, making a crisp sound.

"That guy is going to bite me before he dies. It's really too much trouble for me to wear this chain all the time."

Death tilted his head slightly and asked, "With your strength, is it enough to offset the power of this chain?"

"Since you have seen my past experiences, you should know that I can only maintain this kind of strength today. Who knows what I will become tomorrow."

Martin was also helpless. Kronos knew that he was going to die, so he cursed Martin with his own life, making the chain follow him forever.

"You are such an interesting person!"

Death looked at Martin with great interest. Although she discovered something special about Martin, she could not find the source of his change.

Out of interest, she untied Kronos's time chains for Martin.

"call--"

Martin let out a long sigh, a heavy burden lifted from his body, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and his body stopped changing.

"Get it!"

Death then threw the Time Chains to Martin, saying that these things were worthless to her and might as well be given to him as compensation.

Martin did not refuse. He took the chain and shrunk it, tied it around his wrist, and turned it into a beautiful decorative bracelet.

He felt the power in the bracelet and found that it was just like the Lasso of Truth. Both were rule-based items that did not consume the user's power and could be used simply by throwing them out.

"Thank you!"

"These things are meaningless to me. Just like what you like."

Death didn't take this thing seriously. In terms of combat power, there was nothing stronger than herself.

Martin smiled: "I don't have as much power as you. Some props are still very necessary for me. Especially this kind of time props, which can provide me with indispensable help."

Death nodded.

Unlike those arrogant gods, she does not think that everything that happens in human society is meaningless, and therefore can understand Martin.

"I want to stay here and watch the new process unfolding in the abyss. I will not accompany you two to leave this underworld!"

Death waved her hand, and she was attracted by Diana's death.

But he was more interested in Martin and the abyss.

The Endless Family are two-sided beings. Death is known as the end of life, but she is also a symbol of bringing new life to the world.

While she is sending away lives, she is also paying attention to the new lives that have just come into the world.

At this moment, her curiosity about the changes in the abyss overwhelmed her curiosity about Martin.

She could observe Martin whenever she wanted, and she had plenty of time to do so.

The changes taking place in the abyss are an irreversible process. If you miss this point in time, it will be impossible to see these spectacular scenes again.

Thinking of this, Death enthusiastically invited Martin to stay and watch the changes in the abyss with her: "Forget it, I have experienced enough changes in the abyss, and I really don't want to stay any longer."

Although novels in previous lives often describe the protagonist watching the creation process, gaining various experiences, and then soaring into the sky.

But that is nothing more than a lazy fantasy. What we see in the process of creation does provide some experience to learn from, but it is just pure material movement and cannot bring about things like enlightenment.

Martin waved goodbye to death and walked over to Diana. The woman had woken up and opened her eyes to look at him. The first thing she said was:

"The pain caused by your move was so intense that I felt as if my body was torn into millions of pieces. I almost couldn't hold on!"

"It's not a feeling, it's a fact. This is the escape trick. Otherwise, why would I keep telling you to hold on!"

Martin did not explain or cover up. Before he took action, he knew what kind of pain Diana would suffer.

"Under the circumstances at the time, this was the only way to get you out of the abyss."

"I understand. How is the Abyss now?"

Diana did not blame Martin. As a warrior, she knew that enduring pain was not a difficult thing, but death was.

"Something completely new has grown inside the abyss. Kronos and the others have been pulled in. They'll probably never come out."

Martin had no sympathy for the old guys.

They are losers overthrown by Zeus. They have never thought about their own problems in thousands or tens of thousands of years. Such people are of no use at all.

"Return your Vulcan Sword to its original owner!"

Martin did not violate the agreement with Diana and brought the sword out of the abyss.

Diana gripped the hilt of the sword, smiled slightly, and got up from the ground, wanting to leave the underworld.

The two crossed the Field of Truth and headed toward the River of Pain.

Hades did not show up this time to stop Martin and take Diana away. Perhaps everything Martin did in the abyss finally frightened the ambitious God of the Underworld.

Perhaps it was the appearance of death that frightened this god whose duty it was to die.

Anyway, when Martin took Diana onto Charon's ferry, Hattis still did not show up.

"Strange, strange. You two were able to escape from Hades. This has never happened in thousands of years."

Charon looked at Martin and Diana, who were unharmed, and was amazed. This was completely different from what he had expected.

He really couldn't imagine why Hades would let these two people who offended him go.

The entire underworld felt the scene of Martin and Hades' collision earlier.

How come when you turn around, both sides seem to be living in peace as if nothing had happened?

Of course Martin would not say anything to Charon, an outsider. This ferryman of the Styx seemed honest, but who knew what he was thinking.

He could talk to Diana about the appearance of Death, but he would not reveal a word to the ferry god.
