The Infinite Powerhouse Mixed in with Sakura Dormitory

"Although you have not opposed the Underworld's friendly relations with the human race over the years, and have even sent your Death Legion to the Forbidden Zone to resist the corrupted monsters, you yourself have never left the Underworld to take action."

"On the surface, you look down on other pantheons and humans and disdain going out, but in reality, you've been accumulating power all along. For example, the Hell Alliance you formed, and I've heard that the people of the Hand of Shadows have also appeared in your territory."

After speaking, a glint of insight that seemed to see through all secrets flashed in Tislanf's long, alluring eyes.

Hades's soul fire flickered in his eye sockets, and he said calmly, "It's just a rumor. I'm old now, and my divine fire is showing signs of decay. To make a move would be to consume my lifespan."

"Even so, I have sent my men to assist in guarding the restricted area. How could I have any other intentions?"

"Is that so..." Tislanf said lazily, neither confirming nor denying it; only the two of them knew whether they believed it or not.

"Teslanf, I remember you disappeared without a trace fifty years ago after venturing deep into the void. This time you suddenly returned, not only taking that step to begin condensing your true name, but also coming to me to borrow the Netherworld Domain to deal with the human awakeners. It seems you gained a lot down there."

As Hades spoke, he raised his head, and the soul fire in his empty skull eye sockets blazed brightly, radiating an astonishing divine power that isolated the terrifying allure emanating from the figure in front of him.

That was a special power of rules that had been elevated to the point that even a death deity like it, devoid of sexual desire, would be affected.

As the most beautiful and talented succubus queen in tens of thousands of years among the hundreds of beautiful races in the underworld, Tislanf has been known as the most beautiful woman in the underworld for many years, and no one can disagree with her.

Even the three current true demon kings were once her admirers and pursued her, but none of them were able to win her heart. Because of her powerful strength and her status as the patriarch of the succubus clan, the tenth strongest clan among the hundred races, no one could force her.

Tislanf said casually, "The harvest wasn't very large; we just discovered a relatively well-preserved ancient civilization ruin."

"Ancient civilization relics".

boom!!

As the dark red soul fire in Hades' eyes surged, a terrifying divine power enveloped the entire temple, causing the air to explode and creating a deafening scream.

“That’s right. Moreover, I have already broken the restrictions of that civilization, obtained all the well-preserved data, and understood why those fallen ones have been trying to return all these years.”

At this point, the succubus on the throne parted her lips slightly, stuck out her tongue and licked her lips excitedly, saying, "And now I know why those guys from the Shadow Hand are always spying on human awakened ones."

The succubus Tislanf spoke the last few words slowly and deliberately, hinting that the information was astonishing.

Hades, his entire body enveloped in raging soul fire, radiating overwhelming divine power like a dark red sun, looked at the succubus and said in a deep voice, "I can lend you the Netherworld, but give me a copy of the information you obtained."

The alluring succubus stretched out a finger and shook it lazily, saying, "No, you've got the wrong Hades. I'm not asking to borrow from you, but to exchange. I'll exchange that information for your Netherworld Domain."

"Impossible," Hades refused outright.

The Netherworld is a pseudo-world-class artifact that it has crafted over thousands of years using countless divine materials and a great deal of effort, based on a fragment of spacetime rules obtained by chance and modeled after the Netherworld.

Within that divine artifact, it reigns supreme, controlling the rules of time and space. It is equivalent to a second divine kingdom, and one that is unafraid of being destroyed, making it incomparably precious.

"No, you will make the deal, because these materials contain a shortcut that will allow you to truly condense your true name and become an unparalleled powerhouse." With that, the succubus on the throne smiled confidently, flicked her finger, and sent a divine crystal containing a vast amount of information flying toward Hades.

Hades, his eyes burning with the fire of his soul, reached out and caught the crystal of divine power. He focused his mind and began to read the information inside, while the fire of his soul began to subside.

Because it is skeletal, its face is expressionless, but the soul fire that flickers violently in Hades's eye sockets reveals that its mind is not as calm as it appears.

After a long while, the divine power crystal in Hades' hand vanished into nothingness. He raised his head and said in a deep voice, "Give me the rest of the data, and the Netherworld will be yours."

The succubus smiled with satisfaction: "Of course."

"With your strength at the half-step True Name stage, plus the Void Domain that can double your strength and seal space and time, hunting down that human awakener with strength at the late stage of the Main God realm is indeed foolproof."

Hades looked at her quietly and said in a deep voice, "However, since you intend to hunt down that human awakener, you should be prepared to be hunted down by the humans. I don't think you can withstand more than a few moves from that Martial Emperor."

"Did I say I was going to kill him? Obtaining the essence of a human awakener doesn't only require killing them." Tislanf's beautiful face showed disdain.

"Over the years, those people have made so many attempts, but the only two times they successfully obtained the essence of corpse refining were incomplete. Not to mention whether they could find the door, even if they found such a poor-quality key, they would not be able to open it."

Hades' eyes flashed with flames, and he suddenly exclaimed in shock, "You want to use your natal divine essence to bewitch him?"

"Huh, you actually guessed it."

Tislanf sat up, a confident smile playing on her alluring face: "Not bad, I've seen the information on this human awakener. He's quite good, worthy of my one and only chance to subdue him with my divine essence. I'll make him fall in love with me and be willing to give everything for me."

As a mid-level race once known in the underworld for their beauty and allure, every high-ranking succubus royal will awaken a special soul law ability in their innate charm ability upon reaching adulthood, which can only be used once in their lifetime.

When this ability is used on a demon one rank lower than oneself, it can cause the demon to lose its mind, fall completely in love with oneself, become a slave, and increase its strength by an entire rank.

While it cannot corrupt the mind of a demon of equal strength, it can make the demon fall in love with it and love only it for life.

Furthermore, after being subjected to this ability by a succubus, the target's strength can be increased by one level, and with good luck, they may even awaken a new talent ability.

Because royal succubi consume their own soul essence, which is equivalent to their lifespan, when using this ability, they will not use it easily unless they have someone worth sacrificing for.

This ability is also the reason why succubi, who were not very strong themselves, were able to become a mid-level race in the underworld at that time, and were the darlings and marriage partners of the high-ranking members of various underworld clans.

Of course, this ability is also ineffective against beings with higher cultivation levels than succubi, and it cannot enhance their strength. Otherwise, for their own safety and the temptation of increasing their strength, the succubus royal family would have long been kept as their private possessions by those powerful beings.

"Do you think that with my soul realm at the half-step True Name stage, when I unleash my natal divine essence, I can stop an awakened being whose combat power is comparable to the late stage of a main god, but whose soul realm is still at the King level?"

Hades paused for a moment, his eyes flashing with soul flames, and said in a deep voice, "Don't be too confident. They sent two peak-level evil gods who were skilled in soul abilities to assassinate him, but they were suppressed by him instead."

"This shows that he also has hidden power related to the soul, which is not as simple as the awakening of the power source mentioned in the information."

Hades seemingly kindly reminded him, "Don't let yourself be caught off guard. While your succubus clan's ability is effective against those weaker than you, if their soul realm is higher than yours, then..."

"I have already taken this into account. Even if he has the blessing of the source, his soul realm is at most at the mid-stage of the main god. Moreover, even if his soul realm unexpectedly reaches the late stage, I am confident that I can make him fall in love with me, and this is what I am looking forward to."

Tislanf rested her chin on her hand and said confidently, "After all, the value of an awakened being whose mind has been bewitched is not the same as that of an awakened being who only loves me and has extraordinary potential. My rule divine essence is very precious."

"And the more I get to know this new awakener these past few days, the more I admire him... Ugh... Thinking of this, I can't wait to hold him in my arms and cherish him." The succubus's face flushed as she squinted.

"It seems you've prepared very thoroughly," Hades said in a hollow, hoarse voice.

"Of course, I never fight a battle I'm not confident of winning. I've already thoroughly studied his information and the details of everyone around him, and I've already devised a plan that he'll definitely fall for. All I need to do is get him into the Netherworld..."

At this point, the succubus changed the subject: "Alright, let's settle this with cash. I'm going to take advantage of the absence of those human powerhouses to carry out my plan."

……

At the other end of the street, opposite Jiang Jing and the others, in the parking lot, Kasumigaoka Utaha, wearing a black short skirt, black stockings, and with her long black hair flowing down her shoulders, exuding a mature and charming aura, got out of a taxi.

Looking at the bustling festival street ahead, Kasumigaoka Utaha's already beautiful face revealed a stunningly alluring charm, and a pair of purple pupils emerged deep in the depths of her eyes.

"Kanda-kun, you'll soon be mine." Kasumigaoka Utaha said, licking her lips and striding forward with her alluring long legs in black stockings.

Without taking a single step, the already barely perceptible allure emanating from Kasumigaoka Utaha gradually vanished, until finally all traces of her disappeared completely.

When Kasumigaoka Utaha entered the festival street, she looked pale and hadn't had a good rest for several days.

On the Correct Way to Explore a World of Horror

Chapter 216 Silver Can't Win, Utaha Kasumigaoka Was Devoured

The streets were bustling with people, colorful helium balloons and ribbons floated in the sky, and the air was filled with the shouts of vendors and soft music from the shops, creating a lively atmosphere.

"Sorata, look at that." Suddenly, Shiina Mashiro, who was flanking Jiang Jing with Rias on either side, stopped and pointed to a taiyaki stall on the side of the road.

Jiang Jing glanced at the street stall surrounded by a crowd, his gaze falling on the lifelike taiyaki: "Want to eat some? Let's go try some."

"Mmm." A hint of happiness appeared in Shiina Mashiro's eyes.

Rias smiled slightly and said obediently, "I'm a little hungry too, as you said, Kouta."

"Boss, three taiyaki, please."

"Okay, that'll be 450 yen in total."

Jiang Jing, like a dutiful boyfriend, squeezed in while the two girls stood outside, paid the shopkeeper, and bought three taiyaki (fish-shaped fritters).

"Here you go." Jiang Jing gave one to Shiina Mashiro and one to Rias, and then the three of them ate as they walked toward the next shop, looking like a young couple deeply in love.

It's just that there's one more person.

When Jiang Jing is in a peaceful state, his behavior and way of speaking are just like an ordinary person. He doesn't think he's so great that he's arrogant and looks down on anyone, nor does he walk with his nose in the air.

Of course, this is assuming the other party is polite; otherwise, Jiang Jing wouldn't mind slapping them to show them what a harsh lesson from society is like.

"Sorata, look at that, it looks delicious." Shiina Mashiro, who had just finished eating the taiyaki in her hand, suddenly had her eyes light up and took a liking to a small shop selling bonito and pork buns.

The shop wasn't big, but it was bustling with people, with the queue stretching more than ten meters outside. Inside the counter, a young man in his twenties and a short, middle-aged man in his forties or fifties were working up a sweat, but their smiles revealed their satisfaction.

Looking at the large crowd, Jiang Jing raised an eyebrow: "There are quite a lot of people."

"Kōta, I'll go and have someone buy it." With that, Rias prepared to call someone to queue up. She had no interest in queuing for half a day herself, nor did she want Jiang Jing to go.

Although Jiang Jing didn't mind these things, in Rias's heart, Jiang Jing's status was extremely noble.

"Sorata, there are so many people, let's go to another place." Shiina Mashiro, who had also noticed that there were too many people, tilted her head and looked around to find the next place.

However, Jiang Jing shook his head and smiled, "No need, wait for me."

As he spoke, Jiang Jing walked toward the middle-aged man who had been replaced backstage by someone who was probably his daughter-in-law, and who was sitting at the entrance of the shop with an old pipe in his hand.

Just as Sasaki Taro was looking contentedly at the crowd queuing outside, Jiang Jing walked over and sat down next to him, greeting him, "Uncle, your business is doing very well."

Sasaki Kojiro glanced back at the river view, a simple, honest smile typical of a country farmer appearing on his face: "Not bad. Our family's 'Bokuyu Pork Buns' have been passed down for a century, and are quite famous around here."

Jiang Jing nodded: "Hmm, just from the crispy yet not burnt flour and the unique fresh aroma of pork wafting from your shop, I know it's a rare delicacy without even tasting it."

Sasaki Taro was taken aback and couldn't help but glance at Jiang Jing a few more times: "This gentleman is an expert."

Jiang Jing smiled and said, "It's alright. I usually enjoy cooking, so I know a little bit about it."

"By the way, sir, you look like you just finished cleaning yourself off. Why didn't you rest for a bit before rushing over? The fighting inside was so intense this time, you must have been under a lot of pressure."

"You too..." Sasaki Taro was startled when he realized what Jiang Jing meant, and looked at Jiang Jing with suspicion.

He couldn't sense any aura from Jiang Jing, but he knew about the pollution marks on his body. So there was only one possibility, and Sasaki Taro looked at Jiang Jing with a solemn respect.

Jiang Jing nodded and admitted, "Yes, I just came from the very front. I brought my two girlfriends out to watch the fireworks display today."

Sasaki Taro was initially shocked, then said very politely, "I didn't expect you to come out from the very front, sir. You've all worked hard."

Just by guarding the rear nodes, Sasaki Taro and his men were constantly in danger of being overwhelmed by the demonic tide. One can only imagine how cruel and dangerous the front line was, which was said to be ten times more brutal and dangerous than their own.
