"Can I ask you, who did you sacrifice when you left the underworld?"

"My brother arranged a husband for me." Ishtar shrugged. "Actually, many people volunteered, but I couldn't bear to let these people go to the underworld in my place, so I chose the only person who would hold a big banquet and eat and drink lavishly because of my death."

Blaze raised his eyebrows. Based on his shallow understanding of Ishtar, even if leaving the underworld didn't cost anything, she would send this cheap husband to the underworld without hesitation after seeing her arranged husband celebrating her death.

Now he understood why Ereshkigal was possessed by Kul of the Underworld without any resistance, because Ereshkigal was Kul of the Underworld after all.

"Let me guess. Ereshkigal's goal is to balance life and death and let the Underworld Kul occupy half of the world. And this guy intends to turn the entire world into a part of his body."

"if not?"

The Hades Kul slowly opened his mouth, revealing his pale teeth.

"It is God's instinct to expand oneself, assimilate power, and make oneself more omnipotent. I was once pressed under the earth, which was just a place of death, but now I appear above the earth and have the ability to grow."

"Then it's only natural that I desire to grow to the point where I can take over the entire world and become a true god that cannot be destroyed even by the power of the universe!"

"Not surprising at all." Blaze sighed. What a simple and crude reason.

Although he could already think of the answer, he asked it out of courtesy and respect for the process.

"After you expand to the entire world, what will happen to the creatures on earth? You are the afterlife, and life cannot survive in you."

"What does it have to do with me!" The smile on Mingshi Kul's face was a little distorted, and his voice became sharp. "I have been pressed into the deepest part of the world since I was born. Has anyone ever cared about what I think?"

"Noise, ah - it's so noisy! The creatures are running freely on the earth, and I am stuck in the abyss."

"Once I have covered the entire world, you will only be allowed to survive in underground caves and mud!"

Kul of the Underworld raised his hands, and the entire Underworld began to shake. This was not the gray tree roots buried deep in the earth that Ereshkigal summoned, but the Underworld itself was shaking.

The black gold forest remained silent, but the vines transformed from the small Anti-Life Trees wrapped around it tightened the Anti-Life Trees, continuously extracting power from them, and began to expand the underworld without restraint and unscrupulously.

Under Ereshkigal's control, the underworld that had originally expanded evenly in circles began to grow wildly and irregularly.

It is like a drop of ink, which, after falling into the pure sea of ​​life, begins to spread, pollute, and occupy the sea of ​​life.

The teleportation tower of the human town exploded in an instant. Countless dark roots began to spread upward from the roots of the traditional tower, forming a dark tree, which then began to launch a crazy attack on the surroundings.

Not only humans, poultry, but also plants and even the earth have become objects of vitality absorption. The more populous the place, the more fierce and intense the attack will be.

The three main places, the Peace Olive Tree, the Golden Apple Tree Sea, and the Golden Tree Sea, were the worst hit areas. The Black Golden Tree Sea stopped attacking, but the vines wrapped around it were extremely difficult to deal with, and spread greedily in all directions.

"Ah~ This feeling is the feeling of vitality and growth!" Mingshi Kul raised his head, as if he was enjoying something.

But he didn't enjoy it for more than a few seconds, as Blaze appeared in front of him and kicked him away with a fierce whip kick, tearing the ground along the way, leaving only a pair of legs exposed when he stopped.

"It's much easier to deal with!" Blaze immediately left where he was standing, and countless tree roots gushed out from where he was originally standing.

"Of course. The one with invincible power in the underworld is Ereshkigal, the Goddess of Death, who is willing to stay in the underworld. She is responsible for balancing the infinite life on her own, so she has infinite power."

Ishtar squinted at Hadeskul, who was slowly crawling out of the pit with a ferocious expression, and laughed at him mercilessly.

"The incarnation of the underworld who has no restraint, is reckless, and only wants to grow wildly is just an ordinary LV500 monster. He can't even be considered a god."

Chapter 1463 Pull her out!

"The agreed time is coming."

Blaze said suddenly.

"I know." Ishtar's expression did not change and she put down her hands.

[The agreed time] is naturally the time when the foreigners throw the seeds of the world, but this plan to suppress the underworld Kul underground and shield it has a fatal loophole, which is that it is necessary to destroy all the underworld lands that have expanded except the main underworld.

As long as there was a little bit of it left, the Underworld could continue to grow even if it was pressed underground. And now that the Underworld Kul had seized Ereshkigal's body, this loophole began to widen.

Without Ereshkigal's control, Hades Kul was madly expanding its body. Before long, Hades Kul's body would exceed the coverage range originally planned.

At first, Blaze thought that the strangers were a little too prepared. They fished out so much Mud of Life from the River of Chaos, as if they wanted to keep it for themselves. Now it seems that the strangers are just taking precautions as always.

They had to stop the Underworld from expanding beyond their plan, and the way to stop it was right in front of them: separate Underworld Kul and Ereshkigal, and make sure Underworld Kul couldn't take Ereshkigal's body again.

The expansion of the underworld ultimately comes down to the fact that Ereshkigal possesses a portion of Ishtar's power. As long as Ereshkigal stops it, the expansion of the underworld will stop.

"What do we do now?"

"Of course I'll just fight him and pull her out."

“Fight? Hahaha——” Underworld Kul suddenly laughed, and the whole underworld trembled. “Do you think this is the Age of Gods, and you are still the Mistress of the Sky and the Mistress of the Earth?”

"Let me wake you up from your sweet dream and show you the cruel reality."

Hades Kul clapped his hands vigorously, and an invisible shock spread out. Blaze subconsciously made a defensive move, but after bearing the impact, he felt nothing.

Blaze realized that this attack was directed at Ishtar. He subconsciously looked over and saw Ishtar standing elegantly with her arms folded across her chest, seemingly unaffected by anything.

No wonder!

Blaze abruptly withdrew his gaze, for no other reason than that the luxurious clothes on Ishtar turned into dust and disappeared, leaving her naked.

"You gave all your strength and power to Ereshkigal. Now you are just like when you passed through the seven gates and came before Ereshkigal. You are naked and have nothing!"

"And the things you lost!"

Hadeskul clenched his fist hard, and a huge golden scepter appeared in his hand. Along with it, the golden crown, ruby ​​earrings, necklace and other luxurious clothes that Ishtar once wore all appeared on him.

“It’s all in my hands!”

"Is it true?" Blaze's eyes twitched. He didn't know.

"What's so strange about that? Those are also a manifestation of my power and strength. I used them all to make Ereshkigal's home. Now Ereshkigal has fallen into his hands. It's normal for my power and strength to fall into his hands."

"But so what?"

Ishtar didn't care that she was naked, and even walked slowly towards the Hades Kur.

As he passed by Blaze, he winked at him provocatively.

The general meaning is, I am going to do it even now, and you still don’t want to do it?

"At least put on some clothes! Put this on!"

"My body has no flaws, there's nothing to cover up! And I only wear clothes that match my body. Instead of wearing your crap, I'd rather be naked!"

"You two, are you kidding me?" The expression of Hades Kul was distorted. He raised the golden staff in his hand, which symbolized power. Countless cracks appeared in the land of Hades, and evil dogs crawled out of them.

The moment those evil dogs made of fire appeared, the world seemed to fall into a cold sea of ​​fire.

"You go first." Ishtar raised her chin towards Blaze, "If I rush in front, it will affect your performance."

"If you are really self-aware, then why don't you put on your clothes!" Blaze exhaled forcefully, his eyes fixed on the Hades Kul. Facing the evil dogs all over the mountains, he was not afraid at all.

"If I send you to the Darkworld Kul, will you be able to separate Darkworld Kul and Ereshkigal?"

"Of course, love between us can conquer everything."

"If you keep joking around, you'll be on your own!"

"Well, I think if I get close to her, she might instinctively start to resist strongly out of disgust."

"That sounds like a good idea, I'm in!"

Blaze crushed the ground and rushed into the sea of ​​evil dogs like a cannonball.

The feeling of countless automatically updated resurrection points is overwhelming. If the bonfire of life lit by the elves warms the soul from the inside out, then the evil dogs are the chill that wants to tear and devour the soul from the outside in.

"If you are bitten by them, your vitality will be taken away immediately." Ishtar casually reminded by pulling the black hair scarf on Blaze's chest armor.

"I already knew it!"

Blaze, wearing heavy black armor, was like a ferocious beast. Facing the evil dogs that formed a sea of ​​fire, his golden eyes lit up.

[Soul Pressure F]

It has nothing to do with skill proficiency. It only measures the difference in soul level between all objects within the range and your own. The greater the difference, the higher the damage.

The sound of smashing resounded throughout the underworld, and the ghost sea of ​​fire composed of countless evil dogs was savagely smashed by Blaze like a work of art composed of countless mirrors.

Underworld Kul's expression changed, and he took a step back in the invisible impact. He raised the golden staff in anger, and countless black air flowed out from the cracks in the underworld, forming spears that flashed with cold light.

Soon, the sky was covered with dense spears.

"That is a black gun made of Death. I was killed by that thing before. Once pierced, you will die immediately."

"Ha, what an invincible weapon that can kill any enemy."

Blaze grabbed the black hair scarf before the spear fell, and threw Ishtar towards the Hades Kul with force.

"Hey, Ereshkigal! I'm here to see you again!"

Underworld Kul sneered, and a black gun of death appeared in his hand, piercing straight through the heart of Ishtar who was flying towards him.

At the same time, countless black guns of death fell from the sky and drowned Blaze.

Chapter 1464: Lions Make Trouble in the Underworld

tick-

Blood flowed from the corners of Ishtar's mouth, dripping onto her proud and perfect chest, and then slid down her skin.

She stared at the Dark World Kul blankly, her pupils gradually dilated and she seemed to have not expected that she would be so close to him. Ereshkigal showed no signs of waking up.

"You are a fool. You actually took the black spear of death head-on just to throw you over here."

"And you, old man, are even more stupid. What's the point of you coming before me when you have no artifact, no power, no strength, and you don't even have the body of a goddess?"

Hadeskul grabbed Ishtar's hair. He enjoyed the feeling of having this goddess, who was once the most noble and beloved among the gods, in his hands. He could ridicule and mock her to his heart's content.

"You still want to wake up Ereshkigal? It's no use. She was the sacrifice your father, the moon god Nannar, gave me when he wanted to escape the underworld. She's mine!"

"You can't take it from me—"

click-

There was a shattering sound that made Mingshi Kul's hair stand on end. It sounded like the sound of the black gun of death breaking, but how could it be possible? It was the embodiment of death!

Hades Kul followed the sound and heard countless shattering sounds coming from the center of a huge sphere formed by countless black death spears in the distance. His silver-white hair swayed and easily smashed the black death spears like a peerless divine sword. Countless black death spears were shattered with every step he took forward.

That is the lion skin that is invulnerable to swords and spears. As long as there is a sword or a knife, even if it is the concept of death, it will be shattered at the moment of contact.

"The power of Leo!? Impossible, how can a lion have——"

Before Hadeskul could finish his words, Ishtar suddenly stretched out her hand. Her beautiful, boneless hand, which looked like a fragile work of art, clamped his chin like an iron clamp.

"What—"

click-

Another breaking sound was heard, this time coming from the black spear of death that pierced Ishtar. It broke into three sections, and the spear head that pierced through Ishtar's back fell to the ground.

Ishtar slowly raised her head, her eyes gradually became focused, and dazzling gold bloomed from the center of her pupils.

"Ahhh-"

Faced with this unknown situation, Hades Kul screamed in horror. He grew countless hands, each holding a black gun of death, and then stabbed Ishtar fiercely.

In just a moment, Ishtar was pierced like a hedgehog in the past, and even her disgusting eyes were pierced.

Before Hadeskul could breathe a sigh of relief, the eye that was pierced began to move and stared at him. The black spears of death that pierced Ishtar's body broke one by one and fell to the ground.

"call--"

Ishtar let out a long breath. She was pierced through the body countless times, but instead of dying, she began to revive. The black spear of death that disappeared into her body turned into her flesh.

And her hand was still firmly grasping Mingshikul's chin.

"Do you think that if I take off my fur (clothes), I am no longer a lion?"

Mingshi Kul decisively broke his jaw and retreated to create some distance.

"What a coward." Ishtar threw her chin aside and stretched out her slender and perfect body.

"Is this the reason why you claim you can transform into a Leo?" Blaze looked straight at Hades Kul.

He was not surprised that Ishtar had such ability. If her fur was taken off, she would no longer have the power that a Leo should have and would not be worthy of being a Leo.

After the fall and decadence of the old lion, it no longer called itself a Leo because it knew it had lost the qualifications. But even though Ishtar had lost her strength, power, and even her body, and was left with only her soul, she still proudly claimed that she could be a Leo.

What she voluntarily gave up were just the furs granted after becoming a lion. Even without the lion's fur, she still had the lion's soul.

Blaze could clearly feel how Ishtar achieved invulnerability; that was due to her super strong vitality. When the black spear of death pierced into her, she directly absorbed the pierced part.

If he was invulnerable to swords and spears because of his outward lion skin, then Ishtar was able to shatter all swords with her inner lion skin called soul.
