I sparked a mysterious resurgence in Marvel.

Chapter 161 Death

Before the Angel's Scepter could completely fall...

In order to avoid this fatal blow, the priest of Sothos detonated his own magic and decisively self-destructed.

"Bang!"

In an instant, the priest Sothos's flesh and blood transformed into billions of worms, which, fueled by the sudden burst of magical power, shot off in all directions.

··················

On the rooftop in the distance.

A smile flashed across Erin's face as he watched this scene from afar.

"At this point, you're only now thinking of escaping from the grasp of the scepter of judgment? It's not that easy..."

boom!

Almost at the very moment that the priest Sothos self-destructed the source of magic within his body, transforming into billions of worms to escape.

Judgment...is coming!

A dazzling golden halo emanated from the Angel's Scepter, instantly radiating outwards in all directions.

In an instant, it engulfed the worms formed from the flesh and blood of Sothos.

The radiant, holy golden halo, the instant it enveloped the worms, unleashed an incomparably terrifying power, transforming into a purifying flame capable of incinerating all evil.

Almost instantly.

The purifying flames then burned the worms, which were shrouded in golden light, into ashes.

······················

Not far away.

Almost at the instant the [Angel's Scepter] was shot out.

Feeling a surge of crisis, the Hulk quickly took off running and sprinted away into the distance.

But he hadn't run very far when...

As Hulk was frantically running for his life, he caught a glimpse of Abomination, who had been evenly matched with him in a fierce battle, being instantly pierced by the golden lightning.

He died on the spot!

The "giant worm" that had been forcefully suppressing the abomination and sucking its marrow was directly "shot" into countless smaller worms by the golden lightning. Then, it was instantly incinerated into thousands of ashes by the sudden burst of golden light.

Fearing he would become the next Hulk to be burned to ashes by the golden holy flames, his enormous heart clenched violently at that moment.

Then, it suddenly unleashed astonishing potential.

He took off running for his life, and at that moment his speed doubled.

The sheer speed of his powerful body created a gust of wind that swept everything around Hulk aside.

but······

Even when Hulk was in mortal danger, he instantly unleashed his inner potential.

But how could he, who was not good at speed, outrun the speed of Holy Light Judgment?

Fortunately.

Just as that dazzling golden light was about to descend upon him.

Hulk instinctively sensed a glimmer of hope, then instantly swerved towards the entrance of an underground parking garage by the roadside. He rolled over violently, smashing through several walls before tumbling and crawling into the garage, thus avoiding the terrifying holy light.

················

The golden, dazzling holy light, centered on the priest Sothos, instantly swept across a radius of a hundred meters, directly incinerating the billions of worms that had been shot out into wisps of ashes. Then, this dazzling golden halo suddenly contracted, carrying an even more terrifying compressive force, and with the force of a thunderbolt, crushed the ground within a hundred meters into a pile of debris before flowing back into the [Angel's Scepter].

【Ding! 】

[The host has slain "Abomination" Emil Blonsky, triggering ripples in the River of Fate... Gain 3000 Fate Points.]

Huh?

Upon hearing the notification in his mind, Erin's expression changed drastically.

because.

At that moment, he only heard the death of Emil Bronsky, the "Hate," and did not see the culprit behind this worm plague.

The system notification indicated the death of the priest Sothos!

"He's still alive? He's got a tough life..."

Just as Erin was about to use his spiritual vision to search for the priest Sothos, who had self-destructed into billions of worms and was hiding in a corner of the battlefield, along with the six-winged angel, he was about to use his spiritual vision to search for the priest Sothos.

A terrifying aura filled with coldness and chill instantly appeared behind Erin, then rushed towards him with a gust of cold wind.

[Ritual Array - Apparition!]

Just as that translucent figure, carrying a hint of blood, suddenly attacked.

Ailin, who had already set up several temporary magic arrays on the rooftop, directly activated one of the ritual magic arrays.

In an instant.

Erin's body appeared seven or eight meters away, while the figure he left behind turned into a phantom.

As the most basic ritual array.

The [Apparition] ability has many limitations. It is not only a one-time use ability, but the movement distance is also limited to within ten meters.

Moreover, the magic circle must be activated with spiritual power when it is used.

For many people in high positions.

This mere ten-meter distance is practically the same to them as if it didn't exist.

With that time to activate the magic array, they could have already run several, or even dozens, of ten meters.

But for Erin, who only wanted to buy a little time, it was a different story.

That's enough.

Almost at the same time that Erin activated his teleportation ability.

The six-winged angel, who had been staring intently at the ground not far away, trying to find the six-winged angel who was actually the priest of Sothos and had escaped the judgment of the Angel's Scepter, turned around in an instant.

In an instant, a golden holy sword materialized in the hand of the six-winged angel and then slashed down at the figure that had appeared on the rooftop.

Just as the holy sword was about to strike.

A ripple suddenly appeared around the semi-transparent figure, which then allowed the golden holy sword to strike without flinching or dodging.

next second.

The golden holy sword swept across.

But this time.

The dazzling golden holy sword swept across the semi-transparent figure, which was enveloped in ripples along with the void, as if it had struck a flower in the water or the moon in the mirror.

It did not cause the slightest damage to the translucent figure.

"Hehehe..."

Upon seeing that the six-winged angel's holy sword could not harm him through the ripples in the void, the twisted figure behind the ripples let out a foul laugh.

Reappearing seven or eight meters away, Erin looked at the maniacal laughter and tried to provoke him with a slightly mocking tone: "What, is it something to be happy about escaping the sword of a six-winged angel?"

Upon hearing Erin's voice, the semi-transparent body abruptly turned its head, staring intently at Erin with eyes full of resentment, and said, "Don't try to provoke me. If it weren't for my awakened Void Talent, which can only affect my own soul, a mere puppet wouldn't be able to destroy my body at all..."

Did the six-winged angel's attack with the Judgment Scepter just now destroy his physical body?

But was it because his powerful soul, capable of interfering with matter, was not dead that he did not receive the notification that the mission was completed?

Do not!

You can't completely trust what this guy says.

Perhaps his body wasn't completely dead either. There were just too many worms that the opponent shot out in that instant; who knows if those worms were completely dead?

Perhaps everything he's saying now is just to mislead himself and make him make the wrong decision.

but.

Is this how he really is now?

The priest Sothos, who had appeared as a semi-transparent soul, had now returned to his human form.

Although a bulge would occasionally appear under his human soul body, it was as if worms were constantly wriggling inside his soul body.

But at least it's human-shaped, so it doesn't look so disgusting.

While continuously observing Sothos's soul, Erin said calmly, "Is that so? But the fact is, your body was destroyed by the six-winged angel, and you have become a vengeful spirit without a body..."

"A vengeful spirit? Hehehe... I'm not some lowly undead creature!"

At the very moment he was speaking.

The priest Sothos, now a spirit, suddenly had a crimson light flash in his eyes.

Then an invisible mental fluctuation condensed into a sharp spike, instantly piercing towards Erin's mind.

"Hehehe... Go to hell! Idiot!"

This spiritual spike is a strange technique that Sothos obtained in his youth in a dangerous place, capable of piercing the soul.

in the past.

Sothos used this skill to ambush and kill countless opponents who were once his equals.

now.

The guy in front of us was no exception, of course.

And then he killed the bastard who had ruined his evolution ritual and even destroyed his physical body.

The powerful scepter in his hand, imbued with a strong divine aura, will also become his spoils of war.

Just as Sothos began to immerse himself in his own fantasy.

Two voices, almost overlapping, suddenly rang in his ears.

[A dejected stare]

[A dejected stare]

boom!

Two violent mental spells directly shattered the mental spike, and then instantly struck the depths of the priest Sothos's mind.

"·······ah!"

Almost immediately, a pitiful scream rang out from Sothos's mouth.

And with this scream, the ripples in the void that Sothos had been maintaining with his soul power also broke down because Sothos lost his composure.

In that instant.

A flaw has appeared.

"A great opportunity!"

It was almost without Erin's permission.

After seeing the void ripples around Sothos suddenly become unstable and dissipate in large part,

The golden holy sword in the six-winged angel's hand suddenly burst forth with a dazzling golden light, and then, as easily as cutting tofu, it slashed deeply into Sothos's soul.

Meanwhile, Erin, who was standing to the side, and the clown Erin who had somehow gotten close, also seized the opportunity to activate their mental power once again.

Each of them unleashed a [Despairing Gaze], fiercely attacking Sothos's mind.

Under this multi-pronged attack.

Sothos's spirit was instantly severely damaged.

Just as Erin was about to press on and seize this opportunity to completely eliminate his opponent.

A glimmer of clarity, and then of utter madness, suddenly flashed in Sothos's spirit eyes.

"You want to kill me?"

"Impossible! I am immortal."

"When the end comes, I will return..."

"Since you guys want to kill me, then I'll kill you first..."

"Death... Explosion!"

··········

With Sothos's roar, his spirit body cracked inch by inch, and then, under the transformation of a mysterious force, it became an incomparably terrifying force of death, exploding outwards in all directions.

An invisible death blast, like a hurricane, swept across most of the rooftop in an instant.

In her clairvoyant state, Erin could see even more clearly the terror of this "death" power.

This is not death in the simple sense.

It is death in an absolute sense.

They were swept by those strands of pitch-black death energy.

The ubiquitous insects on the rooftop were instantly killed, losing their lives.

The potted plants, after being swept by the dark power of death, withered at a visible speed, as if they had been killed.

Even the ubiquitous red bricks on the rooftop were swept away by these streaks of dark death energy.

They all seemed to be dead, decaying and withering.

It seems that a gentle breeze could turn it into dust that would scatter in all directions.

"not good········"

After witnessing the terrifying power of [Death Blast].

Erin was shocked and instantly retreated backward.

But how could Erin's speed of retreat compare to the [Death Blast] detonated by Sothos sacrificing his own life?

At this critical moment.

A strand of golden hair suddenly floated past Erin, and then a near-perfect face instantly appeared in front of Erin.

next second.

The angel, much taller than Erin, embraced Erin tightly.

Immediately afterwards, the three pairs of huge, pure white wings closed up instantly, enveloping Erin.

The moment the three pairs of enormous, pure white wings closed, a sacred barrier of light formed within the wings, enveloping Erin 360 degrees, in every direction, without any blind spots.

Buzz...

The moment the barrier of light took shape, a terrifying force of death swept through.

The gaze swept quickly across the six-winged angel who was clinging tightly to Erin's true form like a cocoon of light, and Erin the clown who was running rapidly into the distance but still couldn't escape the [Death Blast] at the last moment.

Looking at the real body not far away, tightly enveloped by the six-winged angel.

As the clown Erin's soul was entangled by the power of death, it rapidly darkened, and even the face hidden beneath the mask twitched involuntarily.

If I had known this would happen, why did I come up so eagerly?

As this last thought dissipated, the soul fire within the clown Erin also fell into true annihilation.

His fleeing figure crashed to the ground like a tattered sack.

After tumbling several times on the rooftop, it finally crashed onto the eaves at the edge of the rooftop and came to a stop.
