The Forty-fourth Tribulation: The King of the Underworld

Netherworld

In the dark forest, where dead branches and trees are full of thorns and weeds, the black miasma is diffused all around, countless lonely ghosts wander there, and the eyes glowing green or red look even more eerie in the miasma, they are all evil ghosts and resentful spirits who have committed sins in this life or in the underworld and have to enter the underworld to be reincarnated and enter the underworld. This forest of hundred ghost miasma is the only way to the Netherworld Palace, and it has also become a special defense line for the Netherworld to prevent enemy invasion.

The Nether Gate burned with flames. On both sides of the gate stood two ghost attendants, each carrying a divine beast called "Liao".

Legend has it that no one knows what these two Yin soldiers and ghost servants look like, and those who are good at heart may see handsome and beautiful figures, while those who are evil in their hearts may see the image of a demon with a blue face and fangs.

At the same time, the image of the mythical beast they are holding is also different, some people see cute giant rabbits and big dogs, and some people can see ferocious poisonous snakes, crocodiles and disgusting toads, and the flame on the door is released by "Liao". No one is allowed to enter or leave the Netherworld Gate at will.

If he wasn't supposed to enter the Netherworld, the guards and the beasts would beat him half to death and blast him out. If he forced his way through the Netherworld, the moment a person with average mana entered the gate, the flames of the burning beast would burn his body and soul.

It's never day or night. The sky is always dark and yellow, and there are no clouds.

A majestic building sits in the heart of the Netherworld, the royal palace of the Hades.

In the "Soul Gathering Hall", the Hades King and his subordinates are having a meeting. To explain, this place has been called the "Soul Gathering Palace" since ancient times. But today's dΓ©cor is all modern and stylish.

In front of the huge oval conference table, there sat a circle of strange-shaped ghosts, some of which were terrifying and ugly beasts, and some of which were upright and beautiful humanoids.

Sitting on the most gorgeous boss swivel chair in front of him is the Hades, human-looking, casually dressed, tall and strong, bearded, slightly dark-skinned, not handsome, but with decent facial features.

"Is there anything going on? The Lord tickled his ears impatiently and sat back and forth in the swivel chair.

"Big ...... Great King...... Under...... Down...... The subordinates have something to tell ......," one of the subordinates stammered. The man who spoke was really peculiar-looking, and his clothes were ragged. Although close to human appearance, there was not a single hair on his miserable white round and chubby bare head, and his eyes were small, as if they were about to be squeezed into them by the flesh on his eyelids.

"Old stammer, it's just you. Say!"

"Big ...... Great King, recently ...... Total...... Total...... There are ......".

Before the round-headed man could finish speaking, another person interjected, probably because he thought that the round-headed elder was too anxious to speak. "Report to the king, Elder Yuan wants to say that there are always demons in the world who have not yet reached their fate, so they have died mysteriously and their souls are missing, and our envoys can't find their souls in the world. ”

Look at the person who speaks with a square head, as if his head is made of square molds, his skin is black, although he is well-dressed, his face is fierce, and his facial features are surprisingly large compared to ordinary people.

"Oh, is that so?"

"Yes...... Be...... Indeed...... Big...... Great King!Fang ...... What Elder Fang said was...... Ahh

"Yes, yes...... You're a big-headed ghost!" continued. ”

"Report to the King, this matter is not trivial, our souls in the underworld are draining, the population flow is decreasing, the consumption will also decrease, and it will also affect our economic efficiency!" Elder Fang's tone was eager and emotional.

"Money, money, money, you know money! Several of our envoys have also disappeared, why don't you mention it! Old man, you are the worst!" spoke a woman with extremely clear facial features and clear outlines.

She has very short black and white hair on one side of her head, and shaved off on the other. Wearing a black jacket, she is simply handsome and handsome, if she hadn't heard the voice, she would have really thought she was a handsome little brother. "King, I have broken eight of my men, and if this continues, the people will be afraid, and my men will not dare to collect them. ”

After the woman's words were finished, the various ghosts below were talking to each other.

"All right! shut up!" said the Hades, his eyes wide, and he slammed the table with a fist in one hand. The meeting room fell silent. "Nothingness, do you know what Ziying said?"

"Back to the king, there is indeed something. I have dispatched my forces to search for the missing messengers and spirits. Nowhere to be seen. A man who looked to be only twenty-seven or eighteen years old said in a cold and calm voice.

The man has a handsome human appearance, short black hair, a thin but well-defined face, and only his pupils are blue and flame-like. He was dressed in a meticulously neat black suit.

"Didn't the nine-tailed old monster (meaning the nine-tailed fox ghost) do it? Doesn't he like to catch the little demon and use it to cure the tail? If it's him, let it go. We can't control him. Save us trouble. ”

"The king, it wasn't the fox king's doing. The fox king has only captured a small number of demons, and he has never captured our messenger. Chen suspected that this time it was someone who needed more demon soul spirits to refine his cultivation, and his methods were extremely ruthless, even our envoy would not let go. Nothingness replied again.

At this time, the other ghosts present were also very quiet. This nihilistic character is a ruthless character, and he controls the main military power of the Immortal King. The army he led also made countless achievements. All the people of the underworld were in awe of him, and even the king of the underworld had to be polite to him for three points,

"You fools have cheered me up and assisted in the investigation of the Void, have you heard?"

"Yes. The ghost elders chimed in.

"Alright, let's break up. The Immortal left his seat and turned to leave.

"Since taking office here, the things of the underworld have been chaotic under his management!" said an elder to the elder next to him.

"Yes, every meeting is like this, I leave the venue after not saying a few words, and if I continue like this, won't my great underworld become more and more decayed?" said another elder.

"Hmph, since that Princess Garin came here, she has pushed Hades to do everything. Now so many of my brothers have fallen into the human realm. I really don't want to do it anymore. Void senior, if only you were our king!"

"Ziying, don't talk nonsense!" The ethereal and calm face was broken by anger.

"I ...... What nonsense I am, I'm telling the truth. Ziying argued.

"Lord Nothingness, what the envoy Ziying said is yes. We see your abilities and character. If you are Lord Void, you will be able to carry forward the underworld as our king!" the other elders all nodded yes.
