"I say! Bury them! None of you are allowed to say what happened today! If anyone asks, say they died at the hands of the subhumans. Do you understand everything?" The voice had visibly become cold.

As soon as this sentence came out, everyone didn't dare to put forward any opinions, so they had to nod.

In fact, it is arguably common that after many wars, they are very open to life and death issues.

The brothers in the army who talk and laugh with you during the day may be separated by yin and yang at night.

Especially in the recent period, the New Delhi Empire has experienced too much, and the situation is very serious. The smaller empires around the periphery also began to cause trouble on the border.

The more wars, the more casualties.

Soon after, they casually bury the two poor guys and leave pretending nothing had happened.

This time, however, the team leader moved from the front row to the back of the mat. He was afraid of another accident.

After all, the work of escorting supplies is very important. If something goes wrong, the entire convoy can be buried.

Shortly after the convoy left, the killer of the two guards reappeared on the road.

Next to him, there was a tall middle-aged man.

These two people were none other than Alice and Lone Wolf who had fled from the capital to Yalijiang Province.

While it is unlikely that the Thorn Rose will be able to rebuild in a short period of time, they still have a lot to attend to.

Now, they are working for the Slime family, clearing the empire of enemies for them.

"Boss, do you think Ace will come back?" Lone Wolf asked.

Alice looked at the vast wilderness and her face calmed: "Of course! He said that the Thorn Rose would never split! As long as we are alive, and he is alive, then our Thorn Rose will one day be rejuvenated!"

They looked at each other with firm eyes and shook hands, which is still a very familiar code!

When Ace slowly wakes up, he finds himself in an imaginary world.

His surroundings are filled with strange and unpredictable colors, which make him feel unreal and think he is dreaming.

But when he saw large scorched spots and burning pain on his body, he knew it wasn't a dream.

"Where is this?" Ace managed to get up and look around, but couldn't find Demacia and Ciro.

Below his feet it was like the surface of the water. Every time he fell, there were ripples under his feet.

But Ace was well aware that it was not the flow of water, nor the ground, but an unknown substance that bound him to the void.

The surrounding colors and lights are constantly changing, giving people a very unreal feeling.

He walked around and noticed that the lights were strange. They may seem close and within reach, but in fact they are completely untouchable.

Ace felt powerless. He seems to have been abandoned by the whole world and exiled to an empty world, which makes him uncomfortable.

He tried to shout, "Anyone?"

The voice was heard, but there was no response. It's like shouting on the boundless sea and there is no response. It's really frustrating!

Slowly, Ace began to get anxious.

He didn't expect that the so-called three-story underground palace would be such an empty world. It seems to be filled with a myriad of colors, but in reality there is nothing.

Ace starts running around the world, and eventually he even summons dragon wings to fly around.

He very much hopes that he can hit a real object, even if he is injured, it doesn't matter, because it means that the world has borders, and if there are borders, there must be exits! This is Ace's idea.

To his disappointment, however, the world seemed to have no borders at all. He had been flying with dragon wings for two or three hours, and he was always flying in the same direction. Despite this, he still did not reach the border.

Finally, Ace stopped and returned to the surface.

He sat down feebly, looked at his reflection, and smiled wryly.

Will he be trapped here forever? Obviously, he just wanted to find Hades

Traces of King Hades, but why is this happening?

For some reason, Ace became more and more anxious, especially when he saw the gorgeous colors around him.

All sorts of things from the past began to come back to his mind, especially during his days in the dungeons of the Imperial City. Every scene was so clear that it filled almost his entire mind.

He suddenly notices that his surroundings have changed, and he returns to the dark dungeons of the capital.

Everything is the same, the dark environment, the sound of dripping water, the shackles on the hands and feet, the feeling of powerlessness after being shackled.

Ace's heart was filled with fear. He tried to break free, but the feeling of fatigue left him completely powerless.

"What's going on? Why should I come here? Why?"

These painful memories made Ace very sad.

His spiritual world began to become chaotic, and his mind suddenly became chaotic.

Just when his whole spirit was about to fall into a complete rout, the sun and moon marks on his eyebrows lit up again, which quickly stabilized his entire mood and gradually regained his senses.

Ace suddenly realizes that this is not right. According to his previous personality, he will not panic directly in any situation, but will calm down, think about countermeasures, and look for answers.

But this time, he fell into an irritable mood from the start. This is very abnormal and completely different from what it was before.

After his thoughts became clear, he quickly regained his ability to think.

At this time, he realized that it was the beautiful glare around him that disturbed him.

Calm down, Ace frowned, "What's going on? There's something wrong with these blinding lights!"

Thinking of this, Ace immediately closed his eyes, sat down, and quickly entered a meditative state.

After contemplation, he looked up at the sky and found that the moon and sun were still there, and the stars were still twinkling in the sky.

At this moment, he was completely calm, like the night sky, clear and transparent, and there was nothing to distract him.

This feeling makes Ace feel comfortable and safe.

Just as he was immersed in this wonderful feeling, a strange voice suddenly sounded in his ears: "Good! You quickly get rid of the distractions and find your true self."

Ace was startled by the sudden sound. Who is speaking? Why didn't he notice anyone approaching?

Is it Ciro? But the sound is completely different.

He immediately opened his eyes and found himself standing on a towering hillside with a sun and moon on his head.

Ace couldn't help but be stunned. He had apparently come out of meditation. Why is the scene in front of him still a meditative world?

Suddenly, he seemed to understand something, but he didn't seem to understand. He always felt like he had grabbed something, but when he tried to think about it, the thought slipped away like a breeze quickly.

When Ace was a little confused, the voice came from behind him again.

He immediately looked back and saw a handsome middle-aged man standing behind him, looking at Ace with a smile.

Ace instinctively took a step back and asked, "Who are you?"

The man was a little taken aback, then smiled and said, "Haven't you been looking for me?"

Ace was shocked and exclaimed, "You, are you Hades, the king of Hades?"

The man nodded, "Yes, that's me."

"Haven't you left this world yet? Why are you here?" Ace was very confused.

The man smiled and said, "Of course I'm not in front of you right now. All you see now is my doppelganger or reflection in the Underworld."

Ace was a little confused.

But Hades waved his hand and said, "You can't understand these things now, but when you get to my level, you'll understand these things."

"Why do you keep looking for me?"

Ace's face sank, "Your seal on the Mandala Continent has been broken!"

To Ace's complete surprise, Hades was not surprised at all, but naturally said, "I know! this

It's a matter of time!"

Ace didn't know how to respond for a moment.

But Hades continued: "Human greed will certainly create this situation, and if the seal is broken, it means that the door to the abyss is opened, and they will be punished accordingly."

Ace frowned and said, "However, most people are innocent, and if the door of the abyss is opened, it will hurt those innocent."

"Do you want to seal the Abyss Gate again?" Hades said lightly.

Ace nodded firmly, "Yes, no matter what, I can't watch the Mandala Continent being corrupted by demons."

At this point, Hades asks a very crucial question: "Who are you doing this for?" Is it for yourself, or for the entire Mandala Continent?"

This question stopped Ace again.

Yes, who is he doing this for?

To say that this is for its own sake, that the opening of the gate of the abyss was not done by itself, that it should be solved by the New Delhi Empire.

If it was for the life of the entire Mandala Continent, why should he be responsible? He is not the most powerful person in the Mandala Continent, and his status is not high. Even if the door of the abyss opens again, the New Delhi Empire will bear the brunt. What does this have to do with him?

However, as soon as such an idea appeared, Ace quickly broke off.

"No! I'm not doing this for anyone, because the door of the abyss shouldn't have been opened!" Ace said firmly.

Hades shook his head: "The abyss is also a part of this world, although the two worlds really shouldn't be connected, but since there is a channel, there is a reason, which shows that the god who created this world did this on purpose, as a warning to people that they can't do whatever they want with this world!"

Ace was about to retort, but Hades waved his hand, "Listen to me first! This world is divided into the divine realm, your world, and the abyssal world. There are three worlds in total! These three worlds are interconnected and not completely independent."

"These three worlds make up a so-called world! Normally, the three worlds don't communicate, but there are special circumstances, such as the opening of the abyssal gate."

"Then why did the Abyss Gate open?"

Speaking of this, Hades looked at Ace, but Ace shook his head blankly.

Hades continued, "This shows that there is no way to maintain a balance between the three worlds! So who is breaking the balance? Obviously, it was the greedy humans who crossed the border!"

Ace then understood, "That's why you set up five forbidden areas to warn people not to enter them, because they are the connection point between the two worlds. As soon as someone breaks the connection point, the balance is broken, which can cause the barrier between the two worlds to be broken. Is that what you mean?"

Hades nodded happily, "yes, that's pretty much it!"

"Therefore, it is because of the greed of the people of New Delhi that they have upset the balance and they will be invaded by demons. This is the punishment they deserve! If they don't get punished accordingly, they could completely upset the balance and the world be completely destroyed! Do you understand?"

Ace seemed to understand something, but he nodded.

"But after all, the current situation is caused by a few! Do those innocent really deserve to suffer an unjustified catastrophe?" Ace still felt that the Abyssal Gate had to be closed again.

Hades shook his head helplessly and said, "I can't help it! After all, I've left this world and can't come back! Besides, this world doesn't belong to me, and all the rules and orders are run by those guys in the divine realm, and I can't interfere."

"The world? Divine Realm?" Ace fell into deep thought.

He heard about the world from Ciro, but Ciro seemed reluctant to tell him specific information.

When he learns that Hades, the king of Hades, is now unable to close the gate of the abyss, Ace is inevitably disappointed.

He came to the land of the underworld this time, mainly to find the traces of the god Hades, and then seal the gate of the abyss again.

Hades naturally saw the change in Ace's eyes clearly. He smiled calmly and said, "But you can rest assured, you

It's not easy to come here, and I'm not going to let you go home empty-handed."

"I'll take you to the world anew! As for how much you can gain in the process, it's up to you!"

Ace didn't understand, but seeing Hades waving his big sleeves, the scene in front of them changed again.

These two men appeared in the starry sky. In front of them stood a beautiful woman.

The woman looked around and whispered, "Look here!"

The woman's eyes didn't stop at all, just glanced at them. Apparently, she didn't see Ace and Hades.

But Hades explains, "You can see how a small world is constructed. You have to look closely. Don't blink, because every moment, the small world is undergoing a huge change!"

Before Ace could reply, the lady closed her eyes and recited an ancient and mysterious incantation.

Soon, a transparent water droplet appeared in front of the lady. The woman's hands are constantly changing, and countless scents flow around the droplets.

Suddenly, the hairspring changed to a different color.

There seemed to be something strange in the middle of that drop. Just when Ace wanted to see clearly, he suddenly felt that it was pitch black in front of him, as if an incomparable giant was coming.

Instinctively, he tried to cover his eyes, but Hades whispered, "See clearly, don't blink!"

Ace soon stares into his eyes and discovers that he, Hades, and the mysterious woman have appeared on a desolate planet.

As far as he could see, there was no living thing, not even a blade of grass, only an endless sea, no living things, only water.

At this moment, the woman walked out, and then countless green grass and flowers emerged from under her feet and began to spread out in all directions. It's very fast. In just a few seconds, the vision is completely filled with a slice of slime.

Trees, weeds, and countless flowers dot them.

Ace was completely shocked and didn't know how this mysterious woman did it.

Ace was completely shocked by what he saw.

He saw a mysterious woman, her feet covered with flowers, her hands waving freely, as if dancing. At the end of the otherwise flat land, the mountains began to rise and fall in the direction of her fingers.

There are slime mountains, white snow-capped mountains, and smoky volcanoes.

Then she walked out into a clearing, waved her right sleeve at will, and a mighty river rushed down from a majestic snow-capped peak, across the vast prairie, and into the distance.

After doing all this, the woman lowered her head and pondered for a moment, then looked at this beautiful plain that looked vibrant.

Her jade fingers clicked a few times in the air, and many cattle and sheep appeared in the vast field.

Seeing the cows and sheep leisurely gnawing on the weeds, a faint smile appeared on the woman's face.

But the smile quickly faded and was replaced by deep contemplation.

A short time later, she looked up again and waved her fingers again. A pack of wolves suddenly appeared on the plain.

As soon as the ferocious wolf appeared, it rushed towards the cattle and sheep.

A little lamb seemed to trip over a soaked piece and fell to the ground, soon landing at the end of the flock.

A hungry wolf, seeing the right moment, pounced on the poor lamb and threw it to the ground. White teeth grit the throat of the little lamb. The lamb struggled and screamed desperately.

But at this point, it was completely surrounded by wolves, and soon there was no sound.

Ace frowned and said nothing.

"Do you think that woman is cruel? Such a small lamb has become food for the hungry wolf under her arrangement, you see!" Hades said, pointing to the wolf cub not far away.

"If the wolf doesn't kill the lambs, the wolf cubs will starve to death, and if they can't hunt their prey, the wolves will starve to death!"

"What if this woman created only sheep and cows, not wolves? Cattle and sheep will multiply without natural predators, and then the whole steppe will suffer, because the cattle and sheep will eat the plain, and the place will again become a barren and barren land! Well, the Creator God

Everything that has been done before will be meaningless!"

Ace listened to Hades' story and remained silent.

Hades knew what Ace had learned from his determined eyes.

Hades continued, "Hunting scenes like this are happening all over the world."

"Don't these wolves have natural predators? Of course. There are lions and tigers in the jungle, and even more powerful beasts."

Ace nodded firmly, "Okay, I see!"

Hades smiled with relief, "However, you may only understand the most superficial meaning, but it doesn't matter, and it's good to benefit from this observation."

Ace raised his head and looked at the boundless plains around him: "When she created all things, she took into account the balance between all things, no living creature will have natural enemies, otherwise it will break the balance and cause the whole world to collapse."

Hades smiled and nodded, "Yes, I don't fully understand it yet, but at least I can see more than what is on the surface."

While observing the newly created world, Ace fell into deep thought.

At this time, the woman's fingers flew again, and a group of more than 20 primitive people soon appeared in the depths of the long grass.

Squatting on a dense meadow, stone spears, knives and forks in their hands, they kept a close eye on a lost elephant.

Ace watched curiously with curious eyes, ready to watch the most primitive hunting action, but at that moment, she suddenly sighed, and then gently wiped it with her right hand, and the primitive tribe disappeared in an instant.

Ace looked at Hades blankly, wondering why the woman did this.

Hades' face was calm: "I guess she thinks humans are too smart, their thinking is too varied, and it's hard to control themselves, so she just removed them."

Ace frowned and said, "She can create human predators, so that their numbers can be controlled! Or she can restrict natural resources so that they can't reproduce freely."

Hades said, "Then what do you think of the situation in the Mandala Continent? Could it be that there are no ferocious beasts in the Mandala Continent, and there are no more terrifying magical beasts? Absolutely!"

"But humans are too smart. They created weapons, built cities, and defended themselves against creatures that posed a deadly threat to them. They can even explore magic, learn magic, and become more powerful than predators."

When Ace heard this, he couldn't help but look at Hades next to him. His eyes were strange.

Hades smiled helplessly, "I know what you're thinking, you're thinking that I'm also a human being, and I ended up becoming a level 1 god with my powerful magic?"

"No way! When you really get to where I am and are able to create your own world, you will understand what I am thinking now. Of course, this does not mean that there are no humans in the world I have created. But every time they passed, they encountered greater disasters, sometimes droughts, sometimes floods, sometimes volcanic eruptions, sometimes earthquakes!"

"Therefore, the natural enemies of human beings are not necessarily living things, but natural disasters and even diseases!"

Hearing this, Ace only felt his whole body tremble, and a trace of fear appeared in his eyes.

Hades smiled bitterly and shook his head, "Little one, it looks like you still don't understand. But it doesn't matter. If you and I can really meet one day, then you will never look at me like this again."

Ace's eyes sparkled, "Will I really see it?"

Hades replied, "Of course, when you become the creator, I think we'll meet again! To be honest, I'm looking forward to that day! Hahahahaha......ha

The woman glanced at the world she had just created, and finally nodded in satisfaction.

Seeing that this woman had no further action, Ace couldn't help but ask, "Did she only create such a world? Did you create a world of gods and abysses?"

Hades looked around and said, "No, she thinks that such a world can basically be balanced, and nothing else is needed, so there will be no other small worlds! In her mind, this is already a whole world!"
