Mystery: Starting with the Night Pope.

Chapter 444 Death Falls Again

Azik's steps were steady, but the bronze coffin gradually went mad, buzzing and trembling, with the aura of death and the pale runes constantly pulsating.

"The 'Grim Reaper' has fallen." Azik placed his hand on the bronze coffin lid.

boom!

The bronze coffin seemed to explode, and countless runes poured out, forming a humanoid phantom in a few moments.

Nine beams of light flew out of the bronze coffin and disappeared into the illusory body.

"Salinger!" Will's voice suddenly turned serious.

Klein's spiritual warning reached its peak at this moment.

The humanoid phantom slowly transformed into a person from the Southern Continent dressed in a black robe.

His features were deep-set, and his eyes were lifeless, except when his gaze fell on Azik, a certain vitality would emerge.

He is the "Emperor of the Underworld" of the Fourth Age!

The characteristics belonging to this "Emperor of the Underworld" combined together seem to truly recreate that terrifying being from back then.

"Child, you and I are one..." The phantom of the "Emperor of the Underworld" actually spoke, his voice hoarse and cold, as he drifted toward Azik Eggers.

When Azik Eggers touched the bronze coffin, his body trembled, and beads of sweat slid down his forehead, landing on the floor and spreading into a layer of pale yellow oil.

"He! He!"

Azik was breathing heavily, making sounds that didn't seem human.

His spirit uncontrollably drifted out of his body, and it changed, taking on a form similar to the "Emperor of the Underworld"!

Once the two converge and merge into one, eventually entering Azik Eggers' body, then the "Emperor of the Underworld" will likely return as the "Pale Emperor"!

Klein's pupils contracted sharply; he was almost ready to throw out the "Serpent of Destiny" bracelet.

"He is Salinger's vessel for resurrection; his body and soul were altered the moment of his birth," Will said, his voice carrying a complex meaning.

In this world, everyone has a purpose in having children.

Such a cruel reality is not something a child less than a year old should be exposed to.

At the same time, the eyes of the "Serpent of Fate" have lit up, and countless runes of fate are surging and about to form an infinitely rotating circle. "Reboot" is useless against the "Emperor of the Underworld", but He can "reboot" Azik Aegis's state and interrupt this ritual.

"Wait a minute!" Klein's eyes widened suddenly. He felt his spirituality calm down at this moment, and he even had the urge to kneel down and pray devoutly.

laugh!

In the instant before anyone could react, a beam of light appeared out of nowhere, piercing through the figure of the "Emperor of the Underworld," and a force even pierced through Azik's body and spirit.

"The Spear of Destiny!" Will exclaimed in surprise.

Whew… Klein breathed a sigh of relief. The “Spear of Destiny” that pierced out a thousand years ago had killed the current “Emperor of the Underworld”!

"No!" the Pale Queen exclaimed, about to forcefully intervene.

However, under the power of the "Spear of Fate," this "Death Archon" was unable to move.

"The Emperor of the Underworld" looked down at his chest. The "Spear of Destiny" gradually dissipated, leaving a bright, open hole. Through the hole, Klein could even see that the dreamlike phosphorescence had eroded every part of this phantom.

Pain was evident on His face, and at that moment, the light in His eyes was at its most intense.

"dream!"

The "Emperor of the Underworld" cried out this name in resentment and despair, and then disintegrated inch by inch, the characteristics that formed His body crumbled back into the bronze coffin.

At this moment, Azik Eggers, who had regained consciousness, silently watched the collapse of "Pluto". By this time, the dreamlike phosphorescence that had fallen on Him had transformed His body and soul.

The arrangement on His body that originated from the "Emperor of the Underworld" has been erased by a powerful force, and the "curse" that had plagued Him his entire life has been completely wiped away.

"From the day she was pierced by the spear of fate, her fate of falling was already sealed." Azik looked at the distraught "Pale Queen".

"Dreams have no authority over 'fate,' but who can resist the 'spear of fate' that it thrusts out?" Will sighed in Klein's ear, feeling rather lost, this "serpent of fate."

"So, Azik Eggers' disappearance back then was a dreamlike setup." Will has finally solved one of the unsolved mysteries from back then.

The absence of the "Death Archon" in the final battle of the Fourth Age was one of the main reasons for the rapid collapse of the Byron Empire.

"It all means nothing now." The angel, the "Pale Queen," took a few steps forward and placed her hand on the bronze coffin. This time, the bronze coffin had lost its vitality.

"After today, you can be the true 'Pale Queen'," Azik said, taking a few steps back. "Your duty is to protect your people."

Azik Eggers didn't even glance at the "Pale Emperor" document.

The current "Pale Emperor" trait has erased the influence of the "Nether Emperor" consciousness, making it more likely to succeed in advancement.

"Don't you need them?" The Pale Queen stared blankly at the characteristics that originally belonged to the Underworld Emperor.

"You are the Empress." Azik returned to Klein's side and nodded gently to him.

Klein breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Mr. Azik looking relaxed.

The dreamlike phosphorescence that had just pierced through Mr. Azik's body and soul was beneficial to Him.

"Your turn," Azik said, gesturing to Klein.

Klein then remembered that he was supposed to contact the Azik family, and the "Pale Queen" in front of him was the current ruler of the Eggers family.

"Your Majesty, I come from the Church of the Night." Klein thought for three seconds, stepped forward, and decided to seize this opportunity.

The failure of the "Emperor of the Underworld" to resurrect has had a great impact on the "Pale Queen's" mental state, and she seems to be quite suited for negotiation.

"The Church of the Night!?" A strong sense of death suddenly rose in the eyes of the "Pale Queen," and her gaze toward Klein carried a powerful pressure, as if she were about to pronounce Klein dead.

Klein's figure flashed, and the power of death was like a spring breeze, only ruffling Klein's hair and having no effect on him.

This ability caused both the Pale Queen and Mr. Azik to narrow their eyes.

"I have come here only to inform Her Majesty the Queen that the angels of the Church of the God of War and the Church of the Earth Mother are already on their way."

Klein's words made the "Pale Queen"'s expression turn serious. She looked at Klein and said, "You all have the same idea."

As she spoke, the "Pale Queen" reached into the bronze coffin and took out a crown that looked as if it were carved from white bones.

This is the extraordinary characteristic of the "Pale Emperor".

"At least we don't need the crown in your hand anymore," Klein said honestly.
