Chapter 231: Styx Divinity

In this infernal zone, there is no food or drink, and you can only wander and endure, accumulating pain infinitely.

Even normal people can't stand it, let alone some people who died tragically?

When people go to death, they are already full of sickness, and it is rare for people to pass away without any pain.

starvation, thirst, sickness, hacking, drowning, burning...... I didn't expect that after death was not liberation, but the pain before death was solidified.

Yan Nu looked at the vast river Styx and asked, "Then you cross the river......

"What's wrong with this water?"

Then another poor ghost replied to him: "Everything on the River Styx will sink, and it is impossible to swim through." ”

"Only Charon, the ferryman of the River Styx, can send us to the other side."

"But he's going to charge a silver coin, and we're ...... No money......"

Yan Nu said in disbelief: "You still have to collect money? People are dead, where is the money? ”

The poor ghost next to him was too weak to sit on the ground, as if he didn't want to answer such a meaningless question.

They've been wandering here for too long, but they still have their minds. After all, if the pain is so painful that even the soul collapses, the filthy soil will be restored to the state it was in when it first entered.

So these wandering poor ghosts are tortured so much that they are only numb in their hearts.

At this moment, a ship sailed to the shore, and the indifferent boatman stood upright in the bow.

The boatman was just an old man, but he exuded a mysterious aura of death, and his eyes were fixed on Yan Nu.

"Charon God!"

The rich people rushed to the boats wielding gold and silver, and they gave the money to the boatmen, and the gold and silver coins blended in as soon as they touched the boatmen.

In addition to some rich and nobles, some ragged people also followed.

For a moment, the ship became unstable and began to shake.

The people on the boat were terrified, and they cursed angrily to kick the poor ghosts down.

The poor ghosts cried and begged at Kumaier: "Don't drive us down, we are burial slaves, and the master will pay for us......"

I saw that the great nobles got on the boat and stood beside the god Charon, and they couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when they caught a glimpse of Yan Nu's lack of movement.

"Pay quickly, Kummair, you promise us," urged. ”

"Hmm......" Kumaier spread his hands and revealed a handful of gold and silver.

After counting the nobles on the ship, I couldn't help frowning, there were a lot of people.

And because Yan Nu was killed suddenly, the incident happened in a hurry, and the other nobles did not swear allegiance and got on the ship with him.

There are too many people, and no matter how much money he has to accompany the funeral, he will not be so squandered.

Because he still needs to bribe the judge to atone for his crimes, and the devil knows how heavy his crimes are? If you spend too much money on the boat and not enough money at the trial, won't it be the end of it? He didn't want to go to the Tartarus Abyss.

Kumair thought for a moment, pointed to a few of the buried slaves, and said to Charon, the ferryman of the River Styx: "Dear god Charon, those are my slaves, I need them to serve me forever in the underworld, and I can pay for them." ”

"But they were just slaves when they were alive, can they be cheaper?"

The god Charon's eyes were just staring at the Yan slave on the shore, and he replied flatly: "The price of ferrying souls is equal. ”

"This ......," Kumaier thought again: "I want slaves anyway, why do I want these martyred fools?"

It is better to replace them with nobles, and those nobles may also obtain the wealth of their family sacrifices in the future, which can be regarded as an income.

"That'...... I'll pay for these guys...... Take the oath quickly. Kummair pointed to a few people from among the nobles.

Seeing this, the slaves cried and cried for their mothers.

The nobles, who were not chosen, were also furious: "What about us! ”

"There are too many of you, so forget it, just wait, you didn't swear to be my slave anyway." Kumaier said.

"Then we swear now!"

"Forget it, it's too much, I don't need so many slaves."

After Kumaier finished speaking, he sat down in the boat and ignored it.

The nobles pleaded so hard that they did not dare to return to the shore, for the slaves were standing there and watching.

They still had luck in their hearts, and said that their family would definitely have a fortune to send, hoping to convince Kumaier to change his mind.

But Kumaier just bowed his head and said nothing, as if he didn't hear.

"What should I do? Get back to shore ......."

"That guy is on the bank, it can't fall into his hands, you won't be afraid of him when you cross the river, he will definitely have no money if he has no faith."

"But we don't have any money!"

The abandoned nobles were so anxious that they prayed to the god Charon: "We will have money, please cross the Styx first?" ”

Charon didn't pay attention, but said to the Yan slave on the shore: "Oriental, you ...... Don't get on board yet? ”

Yan Nu tilted his head and said, "It turns out that you are collecting money, is God also greedy for money?" Why not make it free for everyone? ”

Charon said calmly: "The money of the underworld is a projection of the secular funerary goods condensed by the power of pure faith, which can be absorbed by any god. ”

Yan Nu was suddenly, and he said how to die and still need money, which is actually similar to the incense money on the Shenzhou side.

What is needed is not money, but the power of faith, and this kind of burial goods combined with the 'ownerless faith', not a sacrifice to a certain god, so it is a 'hard currency' that is useful for any god.

But the problem is, faith alone is not enough, that thing is not physical, there must be a corresponding precious item for burial, projection of the underworld, as a carrier of faith.

The funerary goods do not enter the underworld and are still buried in the world, but they are a necessary medium. Without gold and silver to accompany the burial, no matter how much the poor ghost believes, he can't condense the currency of the underworld.

"If you look at it this way, I'm also a poor ghost...... "Yan Nu doesn't believe in God at all, even though he has countless wealth in his life, he is also a poor ghost here.

Looking back at those poor ghosts, I can fully understand their suffering.

He was already poor in life, and he suffered until he died, and after he died, he was even poorer without funeral goods, and he could not cross the river, and the pain continued forever.

Only when some rich people come here with a lot of money, will they support it, hoping to send some money to cross the river.

This is the only hope, otherwise we will be forever numb and tormented.

"Ridiculous! This is the rule of the underworld? Where's the Immortal? Yan Nu's tone was full of anger.

Suddenly, a terrifying mood erupted.

Now that he has lost his body, his consciousness resides in the artistic conception space, and when he comes here, a new soul has been condensed from the filthy earth, which is lifeless as a carrier.

Although many powers are gone, the artistic conception is still there, blooming at this moment, and everyone's hearts are like seeing light, warm and dazzling.

"You can be free!" Seeing this, the god Charon hurriedly said, "I'm here to pick you up and go to see the Hades......"

Yan Nu pointed his spear and stared at him: "Everyone has to be free!" ”

"What! Joke! The god Charon refused without hesitation, and even saw that Yan Nu's face was not good, so he hurriedly pushed the boat and slipped away.

Suddenly the ship flew away like an arrow and moved away from the shore.

Just kidding, he is the only god who can cross the River Styx, and he ferries here every day, working harder than all the gods, and this money is almost all of his divine power growth.

If nothing good, wouldn't he be a servant of mankind in turn? What is the difference between being tired and constantly ferrying, and falling into hell?

Secondly, this money is not his god's, he is only responsible for collecting the money, and the gods of the underworld will share it.

The living are dependent on the gods of the world, so most of the beliefs in the world are divided among gods such as Jupiter.

The rest is in the line of the Sea King, after all, the Roman Empire relied on seafaring.

In the end, only a very small number of gods will worship the gods of the underworld, so the wealth of faith generated by people accompanying them in burials and sacrificing the dead is the source of their divine power.

"Who do you think you are? When you go to the underworld, you dare to be so arrogant! Charon said indifferently, "You just stay here." ”

Hades asked him to pick up Yan Nu, but he didn't actually take over the trial.

Originally, if the god of death hooked the soul, he could go directly to the underworld. But the Yan slave 'died a natural death', and his life span was exhausted, so he fell to the entrance of the underworld.

Anyway, the Judgment of Annihilation is just the last resort. Therefore, the Hades asked Charon to pick up people, in fact, he had to wait until he reached the middle of the River Styx, and then use Charon's divinity to knock him down the River Styx.

This mission is very dangerous, Charon knows the achievements of Yan Nu, and is afraid that he will be caught by Yan Nu ashore. So if something is wrong right now, give up immediately and just slip away.

As long as he is on the River Styx, he is the only god in this River Styx, and even the God King cannot challenge his authority on the ship.

"Stop!" Yan Nu swung his gun, but no energy was released.

So he hit the artistic conception, turned into a spear phantom, and bombarded Charon.

"Poof!"

Charon was pierced on the spot, and his divine body was turbulent and flickering.

He was just a small god, and Yan Nu had hit him hard with the mental power of a warrior alone.

But in a moment, Charon was back to normal.

"The creatures of the underworld are immortal, and you can't even kill mortal undead, let alone gods." Charon said dismissively.

At the same time, the people on the boat also cheered, and to be honest, they were frightened to hear Charon say that they would take the Yannu to cross the river for free, but fortunately it didn't work out in the end.

At this moment, even those who didn't pay are snickering in their hearts, Charon seems to have forgotten that they didn't pay?

But before he could be happy, the god Charon suddenly raised the penny and slapped it hard!

"Bang!"

The ship shook, and the poor ghosts and nobles who had not paid immediately capsized under the boat and fell into the River Styx without resistance.

"Nope! Let me go back to shore! ”

"Don't!"

"Charon, God, I was wrong! Forgive us! ”

"Help...... Save...... Woohoo......"

They screamed, and the sound quickly died down.

One by one, they all sank to the bottom of the River Styx, and the surface was still choppy, and not even a bubble came out! It seems that the bubble on this river will sink too!

"They're overboard!"

"How dare you get on the ship of the god Charon without money......"

The poor ghosts on the shore seemed to have fallen into the River Styx, which was a terrible thing!

Yan Nu asked, "Is it possible that you will die if you fall into the River Styx?" ”

The poor ghosts trembled and said, "It's terrible that you won't die!" Everything in the River Styx sinks, so if you fall, you will definitely sink to the bottom of the river. ”

"That's endless suffocation! There is even the erosion of the soul by the water of the River Styx...... Even if their souls are corrupted and destroyed, the rules of the filthy earth will restore them...... It's still at the bottom of the river......"

"Beneath the River Styx...... I don't know how many dead souls are lying down, all of them have fallen for various reasons throughout the ages. ”

"Millennial and eternal...... It will never be possible to leave the Styx again. ”

Even if the poor ghosts tell it, they feel terrified.

Although they were in pain on the shore, at least they did not feel suffocated, and nothing corrupted them for no reason.

The most important thing is that they still have hope, wait, wander, maybe one day, there will be a rich man with a good heart, send a little money to cross the river, and free them.

Although the probability is very low, after all, there have been too many poor ghosts and ghosts throughout the ages, but ...... At least there is a thought.

But in the River Styx, you will know that it is a kind of happiness on the shore......

If you fall into the River Styx, you don't even have the slightest hope, and the King of Hades doesn't even want to fish people out, this is the divinity of the River Styx!

"Don't say it sooner! I'm going to save people! ”

"Poof!"

When Yan Nu learned of this, he jumped into the River Styx without hesitation.

"What!"

The poor ghosts on the shore were all dumbfounded, and it felt incredible.

"How dare you save people!"

"This is the River Styx, is he listening to me?"

Many of them have been wandering on the shore for a long time, and the first time they have seen it, someone dares to take the initiative to jump into the River Styx!

The mortal world can be called brave when he rescues those who fall into the water. But to save the Styx drowning is just to add another soul to the bottom of the river.

This is no longer suicide, it is an act that is more horrific than going to death.

Crazy? Even the souls who have gone mad on the shore will instinctively stay away from the River Styx, for fear of being squeezed down.

Yan Nu took the initiative to jump in, without a trace of hesitation, he was simply desperate, brave to the limit, what did he think?

The poor ghosts looked around, only to see that the waves of the Styx River were still there, and there was not a trace of foam coming up when the Yan slaves went down.

"No, he will sink to the bottom of the river forever, endure endless suffocation and corrosion." The poor ghosts lamented and shook their heads.

Charon was startled on the boat, then laughed, and hurriedly reported to the Hades.

"Did that guy pick it up?"

"No, he jumped into the river......"

"Huh? He jumped on his own initiative? Hades was stunned.

"Yes, I said he could get on the boat for free, and he asked me to give it to everyone for free...... I just ran away, and then he jumped into the river. ”

Hades also smiled: "Interesting, how bold you are, relying on your supreme divinity, and fearless?" ”

"Even if he is immune to the erosion of the River Styx, it doesn't make sense in the first place, the divinity of the River Styx lies in absolute sinking."

"It's the same with the seal to the bottom of the River Styx, I want to see how he gets out."

……

:I'm sorry.
