That protagonist is trash; I could do better!

In the center of the open space, Hall unfurled a magic circle, creating a massive magical puppet around the earth elemental spirit familiar.

Standing three meters tall, covered in heavy armor yet not appearing bulky, the metal reflecting a cold light, the oppressive aura emanating from it making it hard to breathe.

It knelt on the ground, its left hand hanging down, its right hand gesturing loosely, and its weapon, a spear at least five meters long, stuck in the ground beside it.

"The Soul Judge - Gundyr".

Hall recalled the fear he had once felt at its mercy, a smile playing at the corner of his eye.

What's missing?

The object that the Soul Judge Gundyr is holding in his right hand is a tool that can be awakened once it is taken away.

Heavenly Mandate Clay Tablet.

"No rush, let's design its action logic first."

This is not difficult; modern magicians can create automatons with their own thoughts.

However, what Hall wanted to design was an individual with overwhelming power, one that would not be at a disadvantage even when facing powerful Servants.

With a wave of his hand, layers of magic arrays unfolded and connected with the Demon Eye, activating the spiritual particle calculation function.

"Editing begins."

“Base creation”.

"The runtime logic is established."

"Martial arts techniques were incorporated."

"Spiritual foundation modification".

"Concept injection".

"strengthen."

One concept after another was generated and injected into the body of the Soul Judge Gundy.

For the next three days, Hall devoted himself entirely to the process of creating Gundyr, the Soul Judge.

It's fair to say that Hall had never created a puppet with such seriousness.

The strength of a magic trick is directly proportional to the magician's skill and preparation time, and the same applies to creating a magic puppet.

In addition, Hall is not just an ordinary magician, but also a top alchemist with numerous powers.

The strength of the puppet that took three days to create is unimaginable.

Hall stared at the magical puppet he had created, clapped his hands in amazement, and exclaimed, "Perfect!"

“His strength is about the same as B-rank Hercules. Considering that he may face multiple enemies, and with a top-tier Caster like Merlin assisting him, this level of strength is necessary.” Hall chuckled to himself, picturing Fujimaru Ritsuka suffering in his mind.

Hall is still nominally Fujimaru Ritsuka's master, and this is a trial designed for her.

Chapter 420 The Place Where Dreams Begin

"Without further ado, let's test this guy's performance. One against two shouldn't be a problem."

Hall chuckled merrily, looked around, and spotted a wandering Garura spirit.

Beneath the black robe lay a body and bones shrouded in white mist, emanating a chilling aura.

Hall, using the authority of the ruler of the underworld, commanded: "Go back to the underworld and bring your master here."

While Hall was busy creating the world of Dark Souls, Ereshkigal, the goddess of the underworld, was also busy freeing the souls imprisoned in the Guncage and using them to create monsters.

A moment later, the clear voice of the goddess of the underworld rang out behind Hall: "What's wrong? Why did you call me over in such a hurry?"

Turning around, I saw a slightly expectant expression on Ereshkigal's pretty face.

Although they have been meeting frequently recently, Ereshkigal cherishes every opportunity to meet.

She could never leave the underworld, and therefore she knew the preciousness of their encounter.

Hall pointed to the Soul Judge Gundyr, who was kneeling on the ground: "This is the Soul Judge I mentioned last time, the guardian of this city that I created."

Ereshkigal scrutinized Guda carefully, sensing the oppressive force emanating from it and judging its strength by the power of its authority. He was astonished: "Uh... you really created an exaggerated creature. With such a strong reaction, even the guardian of Mount Ebif would not be its match."

"but···"

Ereshkigal looked at Gundyr, the Soul Judge, who was kneeling on the ground. Gundyr's right hand was clasped in a gesture of respect, but there was nothing in his arms. He asked curiously, "Why is it in this position? Is its right hand holding something?"

Hall nodded: "That's right, a rather crucial tool, but it's not in my possession right now."

"What is the key prop?"

"The tablets of destiny written by King Gilgamesh, recording the beginning and end of the burning of humanity." Hall said casually. Not to mention Hall, even King Gilgamesh himself didn't know about this thing, which is why he sent Merlin to find it.

King Gilgamesh saw the cause and effect of the burning of humanity through his clairvoyance while he was extremely exhausted. He wrote it down in a daze and then fell into a deep sleep. When he woke up, he remembered nothing and did not know where the Destiny Tablet had gone.

Her level of incompetence is not much better than that of a certain Venus goddess, otherwise she wouldn't have had her hand chopped off by the righteous party.

"Such an important thing! Wait, what does the Destiny Tablet have to do with the puppets you created?"

Hall shook his head: "If you really want to know, no, it's just a trigger mechanism. When someone tries to take the Destiny Tablet, it will wake up and attack the person who takes it."

Ereshkigal was even more confused: "I don't understand, you don't have that tablet of destiny in your hands now."

"When the time comes, it will naturally appear in the puppet's hands." Hall smiled dismissively and continued, "Ereshkigal, the soul of the Servant summoned by King Gilgamesh is still in your hands, isn't it?"

Hall did not possess the Tablet of Destiny, yet he knew its whereabouts: either it was in the possession of the First Hassan, or it was about to be obtained by him.

"Ah."

Hall pointed at the Soul Judge Gundyr: "How about we let them test it out?"

Ereshkigal's eyes lit up: "No problem."

Hall first concealed his presence and saw a golden lantern appear in Ereshkigal's hand, a gun cage imprisoning souls.

After she opened the lid, two wisps of pale blue spirits floated out and transformed back into the bodies of Amakusa Shiro Tokisada and Fuuma Kotaro. They looked no different from normal people. Since Servants were originally spirits, they were completely unaffected.

The two Servants were still somewhat confused. Amakusa Shiro Tokisada looked around at the unfamiliar surroundings in bewilderment and muttered to himself, "Where is this? I remember... I was attacked by a white mass of undead in the end."

It's definitely Garura.

Hall muttered to himself, "Generally, Servants are fine if they encounter Garula Spirits in other places, but they'll suffer greatly in the territory of the Underworld."

Both Servants simultaneously noticed the goddess of the underworld before them, and were startled by the absolute domineering power emanating from Ereshkigal.

"you are?"

Ereshkigal's appearance was completely different from Hall's in their eyes. He was shrouded in layers of thick black fog, exuding a terrifying aura of death that made them tremble with fear.

Ereshkigal, holding a double-edged spear in one hand, proudly declared with his chin held high: "You have trespassed into my domain and do not even know my divine name. You lowly humans, there is a limit to your stupidity."

Amakusa Shiro Tokisada carefully explained, "This... I'm sorry, we didn't intrude into this place. We were just following King Gilgamesh's orders to investigate the anomalies in Kusa City."

Unable to defy the existence before him, Amakusa Shiro Tokisada had no choice but to invoke the name of King Gilgamesh.

Whether it's useful or not, the fact that he's still standing here says a lot.

Hall praised Amakusa Shiro Tokisada's wit.

Unfortunately, he was facing the ruler of the underworld.
