I sparked a mysterious resurgence in Marvel.

Chapter 349 Six Dimensional Channels

A long time passed after Erin spoke.

After checking again and again without finding anything, the king and the other two temple mages slowly lowered their guard.

Looking at the ruins of the temple that had been almost completely destroyed, a look of horror flashed in the eyes of the other two temple mages.

Was this upside-down world destroyed by the aftermath of the battle between Erin and Tamamo-no-Mae?

The two temple mages, who had listened to Wang's descriptions of Erin's slaying of the giant Jorogumo along the way, couldn't help but think of this.

Wang Ye took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, "You just... fought with that nine-tailed fox?"

Erin shook his head and said, "Not only the nine-tailed fox, but I also encountered the Great Tengu on the way here."

Behind the king, a temple mage, upon hearing Erin's words, said with a grim expression, "Damn it, the Nine-Tailed Fox, and the Great Tengu! How come these monsters have appeared during the Night Parade of One Hundred Demons? Now, the Supreme Lord is trapped in the London Sanctuary by those dimensional demons. What are we going to do next?"

Another mage then spoke up, "I'm afraid that's why the Nine-Tailed Fox and the Great Tengu, these top-tier demons from Japanese legends, dared to escape from Hell. Otherwise, if the Supreme Venerable were still alive, even if these demons had ten times the courage, they wouldn't dare to cause trouble in the material world. Why is it always this bad news lately? Can't there be any good news...?"

Just as the temple mage was complaining...

Erin stroked his chin and said, "Is it good news? Isn't it good news that the cultist Wang mentioned who launched a blood sacrifice in New York and summoned a divine abomination has been killed?"

"What?"

Upon hearing this, Wang paused for a moment, then suddenly looked up at Erin.

"That guy is dead?"

Erin nodded. "After we parted ways, I found that guy through some means. After a fight, he realized he was no match for me and started to run away. The Great Tengu and the Nine-Tailed Fox that just left should both be helpers summoned by that cultist to survive."

Upon hearing this, the other two temple mages swallowed hard, somewhat alarmed.

Even with the intervention of two legendary Japanese demons, Ōtengu and Tamamo-no-Mae, they were unable to stop Erin from killing the cultist who wanted to hold another blood sacrifice.

So just how strong is this seemingly handsome young man?

The king, who had witnessed Erin annihilate the giant Jorogumo, revealed a hint of excitement in his eyes: "Even legendary demons like the Great Tengu and the Nine-Tailed Fox couldn't stop you from killing that cultist. Sure enough, there was a reason why the Sorcerer Supreme specifically asked me to invite you to deal with this cultist. She must have seen something from the river of time."

"By the way, I only saw the nine-tailed fox leave just now. Did you also...?"

Looking at the king, who seemed to have become somewhat blindly confident in his own strength.

Erin shook his head and said, "You're overthinking it. The Great Tengu's strength is unfathomable. I can't deal with it. I just used some methods to bypass it and catch up with that cultist."

"······I see."

Although Erin explained it, both the king and the other two temple mages looked at Erin with a slightly more awe-inspiring gaze.

After a while.

The other two Temple Mages said excitedly, "That cultist who worshipped the evil god is dead, so does that mean the 'catastrophe' that the Sorcerer Supreme saw through the river of time has been prevented? The Night Parade of a Hundred Ghosts..."

Just then, Metis, who was sitting on the ruins with a full head of silver hair, suddenly spoke up, "In fact, Cassius's death could not stop the outbreak of the Night Parade of One Hundred Demons. After the Night Parade of One Hundred Demons began, Cassius's life or death had long become irrelevant."

"If you cannot sever the passage between the Hell Dimension and the Prime Material Plane as soon as possible, then it will not be long before demons from Hell emerge from Hell in an endless stream, turning Tokyo into a ghost town. Then, with boundless resentment and countless souls as bait, they will pull the city into Hell completely, turning it into a bridgehead for the Hell Dimension to invade the Prime Material Plane."

"By the way, a friendly reminder: the more people die in Tokyo, the larger the passages connecting the Hell Dimension and the Material Plane will become. This also means that the monsters that emerge from the Hell Dimension will become more terrifying as time goes on."

Upon hearing Metis's words, the king and the other two temple mages' expressions changed drastically, and they looked at the silver-haired little girl behind Erin with disbelief.

Even Erin frowned slightly upon hearing this.

After a moment of silence, Erin looked at Mortis and said, "Do you know the number and location of those passages between the Hell Dimensions and Tokyo?"

Metis, with his silver hair, struggled to his feet from the ruins and looked at Erin, saying, "There are a total of six dimensional portals between the Hell Dimension and Tokyo. The one inside Tokyo University should have been destroyed by you."

"For your sake, I can tell you the locations of those dimensional passages. However, this Night Parade of One Hundred Demons is a conspiracy that the Hell Dimension has been plotting for a long time. Each Hell Dimension passage is guarded by a Hell Lord. None of those Hell Lords are easy to deal with. The Great Tengu and the Nine-Tailed Fox are among them."

"Considering the help you've given me and my mother, I advise you not to be so overly compassionate and act like a pushover anymore. These things... shouldn't have been your responsibility in the first place."

As he spoke, Metis turned his gaze to the king and the other two temple mages.

The meaning was...very clear.

Protecting Earth from extradimensional invasion is not Erin's responsibility, but it is the responsibility of the sorcerers of Kamar-Taj.

Before the king and the other two temple mages could say anything...

Metis then directly stated the locations of the other five passages besides the Tokyo University dimensional passage.

Tokyo Tower;

Sensoji Temple;

Meiji Shrine;

Mount Fuji;

And Kabukicho, where Cassius and his group had previously stayed;

According to legend, Senso-ji Temple and Meiji Shrine were built by highly virtuous monks in ancient Japan to suppress demons.

Mount Fuji is also said to be a sacred mountain that suppresses the most ferocious demon in ancient Japan—the Yamata no Orochi.

Now that the Hell Dimension Passage has appeared in these two temples, the shrine, and Mount Fuji, it seems that the ancient legends of Japan were not all unfounded.

As for the fact that there is also a Hell Passage beneath the Kabukicho where Cassius and his group stayed, that seems quite normal.

After all, Cassius and Metis had specifically gone there before.

However, if there was a regional lord guarding that place before, why didn't the lord stop him when he was chasing Cassius?

Seemingly sensing Erin's doubts in his gaze, Metis spoke again: "The one guarding the hell dimension passage below Kabukicho is the Great Tengu. However, it doesn't usually stay by that passage all the time, but if anyone tries to destroy that hell dimension passage, it will definitely appear immediately and tear those who try to destroy the hell dimension passage to shreds."

"Since you've already destroyed the dimensional portal to Tokyo University, you must know better than I do about the Hell Lord guarding that area."

"The nine-tailed fox that just disappeared was probably guarding the hell dimension passage beneath Senso-ji Temple or Meiji Shrine. As for the area beneath Mount Fuji... it's very likely the legendary Yamata no Orochi."

"As for which hell lord is guarding the other hell dimension passages, I don't know."

Metis finished speaking.

Luo, who was on Erin's phone, projected a map of Tokyo and the locations of the places that Metis had mentioned onto Erin's front.

Although there was no signal in this upside-down world, Luo had already downloaded the Tokyo map to Erin's phone.

Erin's eyes flickered as he looked at the locations that Lo had marked with red dots.

"Lo, mark the University of Tokyo, Tokyo Tower, Senso-ji Temple, Meiji Shrine, Mount Fuji, and Kabukicho, where Cassius and the others stayed, with a red line."

"Yes, sir."

Almost the instant Erin finished speaking, red lines connected the locations of those hellish dimensional passages.

With each red line drawn, a giant six-pointed star covering most of Tokyo quickly appeared before Erin's eyes.

The six hellish dimension passages are located at the nodes of this six-pointed star array.

Looking at that dazzling six-pointed star on the map.

Erin instantly understood why those passages from the hellish dimension had appeared in these six places.

It turned out to be the case.

If Erin understood it, then the King, who had been specially trained by the Sorcerer Supreme, and the other two Temple Mages certainly wouldn't be unable to see it either.

One of the temple mages, looking at the Tokyo map projected in front of Erin, had a sudden thought and spoke:

"Great! Now that we know the locations of these hellish dimensional passages, we can mobilize the power of the Shanghai Sanctuary to increase the spatial thickness of these places, shield them from the erosion of hellish dimensions, and then use the power of the Sanctuary's barrier to forcefully crush and compress those dimensional passages, forcing them to close."

"The barrier of the three holy sites was built by the Triune Vishanti with supreme power. Even the most powerful demons cannot withstand the power of the barrier. In that case, even if the most powerful hell lords guard the passage, it will be useless."

By the end, the temple mage was quite excited.

The other temple mage's eyes lit up after hearing this.

Upon hearing the temple mage's words, Erin glanced at him in surprise, somewhat astonished that the three holy sites actually had this function.

However, despite being the most senior mage, Wang did not show much excitement after hearing the story.

Just as that temple monk said, the Shanghai Sanctuary can indeed do that.

But if we do that, the power drain on the Sanctuary Barrier would be immeasurable.

God knows just how much energy it would take to forcefully close the five dimensional passages guarded by the Lord of Hell by using the oppressive power of the barrier.

The power used by the three sanctuaries to maintain the barrier remains unchanged.

If the barrier power of the Shanghai Sanctuary tilts towards Tokyo, it will inevitably weaken the barrier power in other places.

Beyond Earth, those dimensional demons are eyeing it covetously. If they seize an opportunity to destroy the barriers in other places and enter Earth...

The consequences might be even more severe than the fall of the entire city of Tokyo.

Thinking of this, Wang shook his head.

"Once we get out, we can use the Sanctuary's barrier to strengthen the barrier power in those areas and limit the expansion of those dimensional passages. However, we cannot completely rely on the power of the Sanctuary's barrier to squeeze and cut off the passages to the remaining five hell dimensions."

"Now that the Sorcerer Supreme has been ambushed by those dimensional demons, if the power of the Sanctuary Barrier fails again and the other dimensional demons seize the opportunity to invade Earth, the consequences will be something we cannot afford."

"As for closing those dimensional portals, that's something we'll have to do ourselves."

After Wang finished speaking, the temple mage, who had been looking excited, turned pale.

Another temple mage turned pale after thinking about the consequences the king had mentioned.

Looking at the two pale-faced men in the passage, a smile appeared on Wang's fleshy face. "Don't worry," he said. "The difficulties our Supreme Temple has faced over the past thousands of years have been far more difficult than this, and we still made it through."

"I'll return to Kamar-Taj later to retrieve those legendary items sealed there. Those lords of the Hell Dimensions are powerful, but they're still a bit lacking when it comes to those items..."

Seeing the confident smile on Wang's face, the other two temple mages seemed to be infected as well.

His expression relaxed considerably.

Seeing this, Erin looked at the king with a strange expression.

Good guy.

I never expected that someone with such thick eyebrows and big eyes like you could lie without batting an eye.

Despite Wang's confident demeanor, he was not as calm as he appeared.

You could even say they were extremely panicked.

That panicked emotion, without Erin even needing to consciously sense the King's mental fluctuations, had already spontaneously dissipated from his body and was captured by Erin's mental power.

It seems the king wasn't as confident as he claimed about those legendary items in Kamar-Taj.

but.

Items that are specifically sealed away by Kamar-Taj or the Sorcerer Supreme must be quite powerful, no matter what!

Is it that they don't know how to use them, or is it that, apart from the Sorcerer Supreme, these people simply cannot unleash the power of those items?

Recalling the "Shadow of Time" that the King had given him, Erin suspected that it was mostly composed of the latter.

After all, it's within the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

Aside from the Ancient One and her successor, Doctor Strange, the sorcerers of Kamar-Taj do not seem to have any particularly outstanding abilities.

Ok.

On the contrary, the sorcerer Cassius, who later betrayed Kamar-Taj and turned to the dark side, seems to be quite powerful.
