It's time to become an evil god.

Professor Yang looked up, feeling extremely annoyed, as Bai Ge pulled out some skewers from somewhere and tried to stuff them into his food.

"You're right, Professor Yang is just a fool who doesn't realize he has a treasure."

A deep voice came from not far away, which attracted the attention of Bai Ge and Professor Yang. A thin middle-aged man slowly walked towards them, his eyes fixed on the stove in front of him, his greedy expression showing no mercy.

"finally found you!"

"The sacred relic that we, the Frankenstein League, have been searching for so long."

Taking advantage of the chaos, the puzzle killer, who had secretly followed them from the mental hospital, was in high spirits, his eyes fixed on the furnace itself.

A furnace capable of refining souls.

He had inadvertently learned from an undeleted intelligence report sold on the black market that the Xu City Special Affairs Bureau had encountered an unidentified containment object resembling a crematorium. His keen intuition allowed him to almost instantly deduce from a few blurry photos that this thing was a furnace from hell. Although he didn't know why it was there, based on the intelligence, the furnace didn't appear threatening enough, so they ultimately didn't choose to contain it. Therefore, it's highly likely that this thing is still hidden in the Xu City Mental Hospital.

He tried every means to pretend to be mentally ill and sneak in, but unexpectedly he encountered players one after another. He chose to hide in the shadows and watch the fight, waiting for the group to be exhausted before taking the spoils of victory.

To his disappointment, Professor Yang was completely unreliable; even with the help of the furnace, he was still no match for the young man.

He had no choice but to go out, but he froze after taking only a few steps.

Because he saw the white singer holding two bags of corn and a duck covered in sugar water, about to send them into the hellish furnace, completely ignoring the raging flames inside.

"Stop it!"

Seeing this, the puzzle killer's blood pressure spiked instantly. He gritted his teeth and said hatefully, "Are you even human?! This is the supreme hell furnace!"

"You actually used it to make Peking duck?"

Chapter Ninety-Six: Come On! Burning Phoenix!

The Puzzle Killer pulled the Plague Doctor's bird-beak mask from his inventory and put it on. Then, obscure incantations began to play, appearing as if materializing behind him. His spine cracked and popped, and he grew an eerie height of several centimeters. His finger joints became longer and narrower, giving him an indescribably bizarre appearance. Even more bizarrely, a pair of "wings" made of rotting membranes and bones sprouted from his back, hovering steadily in mid-air, looking down at Bai Ge.

A large amount of pale green miasma, visible to the naked eye, floated around him and continued to slowly spread, lingering for a long time.

A swift sword appeared out of thin air in his right hand. With the Plague Mask that spreads disease and poison gas and the Tetanus Enchantment Sword that can cause infection damage, the Puzzle Killer had transformed into the death enforcer of the Frankenstein Alliance.

“I am the arbitrator of the Frankenstein League.”

With a gentle flick of his wrist, the tip of his sword was aimed at Bai Ge on the ground, and he said coldly, "Today, I will judge you!"

After a pause, the puzzle killer looked towards the furnace and added, "And your Peking duck!"

Professor Yang stared dumbfounded at the bird-like mental patient, rubbed his eyes, and an expression of disbelief appeared on his face.

Bai Ge, who was standing to the side, patted him on the shoulder, and Professor Yang finally came back to his senses from the shock.

Bai Ge asked kindly, "Professor Yang, do you have any last words? For example, do you need me to delete your computer's web browser history? Otherwise, I'm afraid you won't be able to rest in peace later."

"Have."

Professor Yang hesitated for a moment, then asked in a low voice, "Is it possible for me not to die?"

"shut up."

Faced with this cowardly behavior, Bai Ge frowned, unable to bear it any longer, and shouted, "Chinese people are not afraid of death; those who are afraid of death are not Chinese!"

Professor Yang was taken aback for a moment, then said weakly, "But I am an overseas Chinese from Indonesia?"

"Oh, I see."

After a moment of contemplation, Bai Ge kicked Professor Yang directly into the Hell Furnace. Before Professor Yang could even let out a scream, he disappeared into the raging flames within the incinerator.

"Then it's alright."

The Puzzle Killer flapped its black wings and leaped down from the sky, bringing with it a trail of rotting green toxic gas as it hurtled towards Bai Ge. With each flap of its wings, the surrounding green miasma began to spread rapidly, continuously overflowing into the surrounding area.

"Die, heretic!"

The enchanted sword thrust directly at Bai Ge with overwhelming force, but Bai Ge was faster than the Puzzle Killer, narrowly dodging the attack. The sword tip struck the ground, instantly creating a dent, and spiderweb-like cracks began to appear around the point of impact.

The puzzle killer frowned; he hadn't even seen the other person's movements.

impossible.

The thought of doubt only flashed through his mind for a moment. The Puzzle Killer was a seasoned player. With his rich combat experience, he almost subconsciously spread blue miasma from his body to the surroundings, trying to use a wide-range AOE skill to damage the player in front of him.

However, instead of retreating, the opponent charged towards the nearest Hellfire Furnace.

Even the jigsaw puzzle killer was taken aback by this scene. "What is he doing? The hellfire inside the furnace is thousands of degrees hot. Is he committing suicide?"

Without saying a word, Bai Ge opened the lid of the crematorium and gave the puzzle killer a meaningful smile before he could react.

Enveloped in black tentacles, he leaped into the burning, raging furnace.

The crematorium was not the cramped space one might imagine, but a sea of ​​fire that burned endlessly. Tens of thousands of souls, bound by iron chains, burned and cried out in agony, begging for mercy as far as the eye could see.

An enormous eyeball was constantly rotating, its gaze fixed on Bai Ge before it. Countless chains emerged from the surface of the eyeball, attempting to entangle Bai Ge, but they were all repelled by the black tentacles.

Upon seeing the black tentacles, its bloodshot eyes became unusually excited and began to dart around.

The tormented souls, consumed by the flames, fell silent and asked in unison, "Who... are you?"

"I want to make a deal with you."

Bai Ge cut to the chase and said, "Give me your power."

"And the price!"

The millions of souls within the raging flames asked in unison, "What price are you willing to pay?"

Are you overthinking this?

Bai Ge said matter-of-factly, "Have you ever seen a freeloader pay for their services?"

The tormented soul fell silent instantly. Even the devil, who always adhered to the spirit of contracts, had never encountered such an unpredictable fellow before.

Has the world changed?

"I refuse."

Tens of millions of suffering souls said in unison, "We only accept equivalent exchange."

"Wait a minute, are you misunderstanding something?"

Bai Ge made a pause gesture and began to discuss the pros and cons with the eyeballs.

"If you don't want to take advantage of me for free, that's fine too. I'll just throw the crematorium into the Mariana Trench and see if the Pacific Ocean can fill up your hellish furnace."

"Furthermore, since I borrowed your power, shouldn't you pay me a reward?"

"Me, a mighty demon from hell, lending you my power and expecting to pay you? Would I be begging on my knees?"

In the next instant, countless black tentacles emerged from behind Bai Ge, seemingly overwhelming him and trying to tear apart the soul locked in the chains.

A voice filled with resentment echoed from the hellish furnace.

"If I hadn't been seriously injured and fallen to this state, I wouldn't have been bullied by an ordinary person like you."

An ordinary person?

Have you ever seen an ordinary person with black tentacles growing on their body?

Bai Ge calmly said, "In the eyes of other pathetic bastards who sell their souls, you are a demon from hell, but in my eyes you are nothing more than a beggar on your knees."

After a moment of silence, the shrieking souls collectively asked, "Have you ever considered working in Hell?"

The jigsaw puzzle killer stood warily in front of the crematorium. He did not try to open the lid, but instead stood around spreading miasma, attempting to fill the teapot-shaped enclosed space that was narrow at the top and wide at the bottom.

Ever since that player entered the furnace, it has been shaking constantly. Although no one knows what happened inside, the sudden anomaly still makes people very wary.

To guard against any unforeseen circumstances, he set up several traps around the area, ready to be triggered at any moment. Based on his observations, Bai Ge was unlikely to be a player skilled in combat, and these traps not only had physical attacks to slow him down, but also mind-contamination devices, ensuring a fatal blow the moment Bai Ge burst out of the furnace.

"Alright, hurry up and come out to meet your death."

The puzzle killer aimed at the furnace lid, assuming a poised and ready-to-stab stance, eager to strike. The moment Bai Ge poked his head out, the passive skill [Lightning Flash] would be triggered, and the Tetanus-enchanted rapier would pierce through the opponent's skull in an instant.

After thinking it over, he felt that the probability of winning was about 90%.

A minute passed.

Ten minutes have passed.

The puzzle killer's arm, which he had been holding up, was a little sore and heavy.

His mind was filled with questions. Had this guy been killed by them?

However, the thought had barely crossed his mind when the furnace lid was suddenly blasted open by a fierce column of fire! It was as if the ever-burning flames of the crematorium had caused the furnace pressure to reach its limit and then suddenly erupted.

The rising gust of wind instantly destroyed all the props placed around it, and the corrosive miasma was completely dispelled.

The paper houses of the dead, swept by the scorching winds, began to burn fiercely, reflecting an extremely dazzling orange-yellow light.

In an instant, flames shot out, radiating brilliant light.

The enormous, teapot-shaped cave, which had been dark for countless years, was now illuminated as bright as day by a pillar of fire.

Amidst the raging flames, a bird could be vaguely seen being reborn from the ashes.

The puzzle killer was completely dumbfounded. "What on earth is going on?"

"Could it be that I've encountered a cheat code while playing an online game?"

Chapter Ninety-Seven Do you think I'm an idiot?

While still inside the furnace, Bai Ge suggested to the monster in the Hell Furnace that its entrance appearance must be unique and cool, because winning is a matter of a moment, but being cool is a matter of a lifetime.

The grumbling, swearing demon from the client side had its design finalized only after several rejected proposals. Since it was now under Bai Ge's control, it could only satisfy the unreasonable demands of the wicked client and then concentrate all the power accumulated from the soul in the hellfire onto Bai Ge.

The scorching heat traveled through his entire body, and the force that burst forth instantly shattered the furnace lid.

The dazzling light was fleeting.

As the jets of fire scattered and dissipated, and the howling wind subsided, a phoenix, its entire body formed from burning flames, slowly spread its dazzling wings and let out a sharp cry. Above the phoenix's head appeared half of Bai Ge's body, its lower half seemingly fused with the phoenix born from the flames.

"Could this be the legendary Winged Dragon Phoenix?"

The puzzle killer was dumbfounded. First, there was the story of summoning a giant soldier by slapping the floor, and now there's a Winged Dragon of Ra hidden in a crematorium.

"Wrong."

Bai Ge could feel the intense heat and surging power of the burning souls of hell all over his body. He gritted his teeth, and even the Undying Flame Bird in his lower body let out a shriek.

"Today, I, Fire Fist Ace, will smash your dog's head in!"
