I sparked a mysterious resurgence in Marvel.

Chapter 400 Promotion Through Song

"what?"

Glancing at Fregra, who had exclaimed in surprise, Erin asked in astonishment, "What? Don't you want to train your body so you can protect Lilith in times of danger?"

Fregra: "Of course not."

"In that case, there's no problem."

After saying that, Erin said to Lilith, "Come on, Lilith, let's go to the second floor. Once big brother has prepared some things, we'll get rid of that calamity light on you."

Upon hearing Erin's call, Lilith asked somewhat dazedly, "Can this really be resolved?"

Lilith was prepared to persuade her father to let her die recklessly, but she didn't expect that before she could "convince" her father and brother Erin, things would turn out differently.

But then the situation took a dramatic turn.

Although Lilith is not afraid of death, who wouldn't want to spend more time with their loved ones if it wouldn't involve her father and brother Erin?

"Of course, when has your older brother ever lied to you?"

After greeting Lilith and Fregra,

Erin then headed up to the second floor.

However, the expansion of the house by hundreds of times has brought some minor troubles, at least making it much more difficult to go up and down the stairs.

Fortunately, Erin's house has a suitable housekeeper.

As Erin and Lilith stepped onto the stairs one after the other.

The stairs beneath their feet began to move as if they were escalators.

They quickly and smoothly brought Erin and the others to the second floor.

[So amazing!]

Perhaps it was Erin's relaxed tone that dispelled the heaviness in Lilith's heart.

Lilith, lifted upwards by the automatically rotating staircase, now had the leisure to curiously examine the peculiar staircase beneath her feet.

"Wait here for me, I'm going to the third floor to get something."

After dropping Lilith and Fregra off on the second floor, Erin went straight into the room on the third floor.

Then, with a spiritual leap, he arrived directly above the Scales space.

Erin did not deceive Lilith just now.

Well, at least it wasn't a complete deception.

For Erin, dealing with the nascent Calamity Light on Lilith was not a particularly difficult task.

After all, Lilith had only condensed this light of calamity a few days ago.

Compared to the nascent calamity light emanating from Lilith, it was the calamities that the Calamity Witch had to overcome time and time again that Erin feared more.

No one knows what kind of disaster Lilith's extremely concentrated aura of calamity will bring after being sublimated time and time again.

And even if it's just Erin himself, how could an ordinary person like Fregra possibly survive such increasingly dangerous disasters time and time again?

So when Lilith decided to give up inheriting the legacy of the Calamity Witch, Erin did not try to dissuade her.

However, this also made Erin realize Fregra's physical weakness.

As Erin's most important subordinate, Fregra cannot remain so weak in this increasingly dangerous world.

It was precisely because of this that Erin had Fregra and Lilith train with Kiris.

Once Fregra's skills and awareness have improved, Erin will find a way to help Fregra advance to the extraordinary level.

Erin has never been stingy with rewards for his own people.

·······

After spending 616 Destiny Points to exchange for suitable materials.

Erin used the power of ritual magic to gently extinguish the nascent calamity light that had just been born on Lilith's spirit.

Furthermore, ritual magic was used to suppress the formation of the Calamity Light.

After annihilating the nascent form of the Calamity Light, Erin also casually cast a mid-level Holy Light Heal on Lilith.

It healed the hidden injuries left in Lilith's body by the erosion of the calamity energy.

As long as Lilith doesn't actively try to gather it, the Light of Calamity will no longer appear on Lilith's spirit.

While Lilith was relaxing and falling asleep due to the baptism of intermediate holy light healing, they took advantage of the moment.

Erin and Fregra chatted briefly for a while longer.

Perhaps having become accustomed to the healing baptism of holy light, Lilith slowly woke up after a short rest.

After seeing that Lilith had regained consciousness, Erin called Kiris and asked her to come up with a training plan for Fregra and Lilith in her spare time and to supervise their training.

Not long after Erin finished making the call.

The two then left the room, whose interior space had expanded several hundred times.

After Fregra and the others left, the already empty house suddenly became even more desolate.

"We need to start planning the renovations as soon as possible."

After sensing the chill, Erin said something and slowly walked up to the third floor.

······

After resolving Lilith's matter.

It's my turn now.

After taking a deep breath.

Erin closed his eyes and leaped into the Scales space once more.

Stepping on the white mist rising from the banks of the river of fate, Erin walked step by step toward the unchanging scales of destiny.

"Destiny manifests."

With a soft chant from Erin, a miniature version of the scales of fate appeared before him.

"I want to materialize a mermaid from the world of Lord of Mysteries, one who can help the Faceless Man advance to the level of a Puppet Master!"

After Erin finished speaking, the phantom of the scales of fate floated silently in the void, seemingly without any reaction.

Looking at the motionless, illusory scales of fate.

Erin sighed softly: "As expected, the scales of fate cannot manifest true living beings."

Erin was not at all surprised by this result.

After all, when I unlocked the [Fate Manifestation] function, the prompt I received was "You can manifest anything that has existed in the river of fate".

Things are not living beings.

He shook his head in disappointment.

Erin, once again, began filtering through the items that the Scales of Fate could materialize, based on the premise that it could help the Faceless Man advance to the Master of Puppets.

Even if Erin included a condition in the selection process that could help the Faceless Man advance to the Master of Puppets.

But the number of tangible items offered by the scales of fate was also more than Erin had anticipated...

The dazzling array of items even made Erin feel overwhelmed by the choices.

Of course, the prices, ranging from a minimum of one hundred Destiny Points to more than several million Destiny Points, also dazzled Erin.

Faced with that huge pile of items, there was nothing there.

Erin directly made the scales of fate manifest as the cheapest and most practical familiar item.

"Manifestation, the magical golden egg of the Harry Potter world!"

hum!

As Erin's Fate Points are depleted.

Soon, a golden magical item appeared before Ailin's eyes.

[The Magical Golden Egg: A magical golden egg that replicates the mermaid's song. When placed in water, you will hear the mermaid's beautiful voice. From the Harry Potter universe.]

[Note: It was once just an ordinary magical golden egg, until a boy who miraculously survived opened it in the bathroom, and from then on, Pandora's box was opened.]

[Tip: It's best not to put this golden egg in the water when you're taking a bath alone, because 17 unfortunate souls have already drowned in their own bathrooms after being captivated by the mermaid's song.]

After receiving the magical golden egg, the size of a human head, from the scales of fate, a strange light flashed in Erin's eyes.

Erin had initially thought that the "mermaid's song," which didn't exist in this world, would cause her some trouble.

Unexpectedly, 100 lucky drinks solved the problem.

Holding the magical golden egg in her hands, Erin couldn't help but think of Kelp, who had traveled across the ocean in search of the mermaid.

I wonder if Krishnamurti would be so angry he'd vomit blood if he knew that the mermaid's song he'd gone through so much trouble to hear was easily dealt with by him in such a cunning way.

·······

Four hours later.

Having adjusted himself to his optimal state through meditation, Erin arrived at his own basement.

Next to the underground laboratory.

Several large water valves were pouring water into a large pool that was over three meters long and wide.

After taking off their clothes.

Erin stepped into the pool where the water had slowed down, and then gradually let the water submerge him.

Underwater breathing

Once the pool water reached above Erin's head, Erin used his magician's abilities to create an underwater air duct that allowed him to breathe freely.

After all preparations are complete.

Erin took a deep breath and then took out the magical golden egg from the Harry Potter world from his spatial ring.

As it was immersed in the pool water, golden magical patterns lit up on the shell of the magical golden egg, adding to its mystique.

After the golden magical patterns spread across the entire golden egg...

With a "click," the magical golden egg bloomed in the water like a lotus flower.

Immediately afterwards, a miniature mermaid, adorned only with two white seashells, burst forth with her unique voice amidst the layers of unfolding golden lotus flowers.

The ethereal singing drifted along the ripples of the water and clearly reached Erin's ears.

Every note seems to touch Erin's soul, and every melody is so captivating that it's impossible not to be engrossed in it.

The beautiful melody made even Erin momentarily lose her sense of time, almost forgetting to breathe.

After a long while, Erin took a deep breath and finally came back to his senses from his reverie.

Recalling the magnified, graceful figure she had just seen in a daze, Erin finally understood why those 17 unfortunate souls had drowned in their own bathtub.

After taking out the bottle of the [Master of Puppets] potion from his spatial ring—a bottle entirely black in color, seemingly containing countless tiny, barely visible insects swimming rapidly inside—he realized it was a magical potion.

Without hesitation, Erin unscrewed the cap in the water and then held the bottle to his mouth before the water rushed into the potion.

"Gulp..."

The slightly bitter potion, with a hint of rottenness, flowed down Erin's throat and into his stomach.

Suddenly.

Erin stiffened up like a dead body.

Erin tried to raise his arm, but at that moment he felt as if he were filled with molten lead, extremely heavy, and even raising his arm became incredibly difficult.

At the same time, in a daze, Erin seemed to feel tiny insects constantly burrowing into every cell of his body and into his spirit.

His thoughts began to slow down, and his ability to reflect his own state in his mind gradually failed.

Just then, the mermaid's melodious singing seemed to pierce through the layers of space, constantly stirring Erin's desires and arousing his nerves.

With the allure and guidance of this desire, Erin gradually broke free from her rigid and sluggish state.

But just as Erin was about to break free from that stiff and sluggish state, a large amount of grayish-white mist quickly filled Erin's vision.

At the same time, he heard illusory whispers echoing in his ears.

"...The fall...The eternal night is coming...Death...Eternity..."

Compared to previous promotions, this time the whisper of the potion seems to have undergone a new change.

But the intermittent sound seemed to be disturbed by something.

Just then, in a daze, Erin suddenly saw a phantom of a scale even larger than a star, and with a slight tremor, countless black dots fell from his body.

And when those scattered black dots fall into a boundless, silvery-white river with no beginning and no end in sight.

Countless tiny creatures were corrupted by those scattered black dots, twisted into terrifying, depraved monsters.

But even in this terrifying despair, a glimmer of dark hope was constantly growing within that vast, silvery-white river.

Just as Erin was about to take a closer look...

The seemingly real yet illusory scene suddenly shattered...

hum!

Erin instinctively raised his hand, wanting to grab the shattered illusion mirror, but after grabbing at empty air, he suddenly froze.

"Your hand... can move now?"

A surge of joy quickly welled up in Erin's heart, and she tried to move her body.

Soon, he discovered that although his body was still heavy and stiff, he was able to move his cumbersome joints with difficulty.

Moreover, that heavy, stiff feeling was gradually diminishing.

at the same time.

Erin saw his own reflection again.

His skin was dull yellow and stiff, like that of a corpse that had just died.

Beneath that dark yellow skin, tiny buds wriggled, merged, and then separated, seemingly trying to break through the skin.

Upon seeing the state of his body, Erin's lips twitched slightly.

Then, in the next second, Erin began to meditate on the cosmic brain that seemed like a vast starry sky, using "meditation" to calm this state that was similar to being out of control.

During this process.

The mermaid's song echoed in Erin's ears, stimulating her perception of the outside world.

···········

I don't know how much time passed.

Silent at the bottom of the pool, like a corpse submerged in water, Erin suddenly opened his eyes.

At this point, Erin's body had completely recovered.

"Coo coo coo..."

After exhaling a long string of bubbles, Erin silently sighed in his heart.

"Finally, Sequence Five!"
