The light nothingness is wrapped around the body like a light veil.

But the dull darkness is like an invisible burden, suppressing the soul to fall into the endless abyss.

Auberly felt his body unusually heavy, and his soul was like an abandoned stone, sinking into the depths of the icy ocean.

Sinking and sinking, with no end in sight.

Although the soul felt heavy, the strange thing was that an inexplicable sense of lightness and ethereal felt quietly spread throughout the body.

"Is this what death tastes like?"

It was a funny feeling, Oberly thought.

This emperor, who has been invincible all his life and has killed many powerful beings, has now stepped into the door of death.

When he felt the heavy body gradually regain some consciousness, he slowly opened his eyes.

What greeted me was a boundless darkness and nothingness.

The emptiness and haze are the perfect interpretation of this place.

Oberly didn't even know where he was.

He wondered, according to the description of ancient mythology, if he would encounter some kind of death to lead his soul to the underworld.

He had never seen the Grim Reaper, and he didn't know if the Grim Reaper's strength would be more powerful.

Although in Oberly's eyes, the power of these gods is almost the same level.

One punch can be suppressed.

I just don't know if my soul-like state will be able to exert all of my original power.

If he could, he would really like to give it a try and fight the Grim Reaper who leads the soul.

Perhaps after a person dies, the mind is restored and becomes active.

Maybe it's because he abdicated for half a year and unloaded all the burdens.

After entrusting the future of the empire to Aurelian, Aurelian felt a sense of rebirth like never before.

Obviously it was just a state of soul, but he seemed to be able to feel the tremors of the muscles of his western limbs, and he was full of strength.

It seems to have returned to the vitality of youth.

Just like him back then, he couldn't wait to challenge any strong person.

Thinking back, Oberly couldn't help but burst out laughing.

This laughter spread far away in this lonely nothingness, echoing endlessly.

Even though it was only a soul body, the laughter was exceptionally clear.

However......

After a long wait, Oberly began to wonder.

"What about the Grim Reaper?"

Time passed, but death did not appear.

If there is no Grim Reaper, who will extradite him to the underworld?

In contemplation, in the void in front of him, bright and fierce flames suddenly rose one after another.

The flames on both sides were layered, like a road illuminated by the flames on both sides, slowly appearing in the void.

The red flames stretched into the distance, piercing the dark void with no end in sight.

Witnessing this scene, Oberly felt a first feeling in his heart.

That's right, this path should be the one to extradite him to the underworld.

It's just that there is no death to greet him, but to guide him in this way?

This made Oberly feel a little disappointed.

After all, he was still looking forward to a hearty duel with the Grim Reaper.

In that case, it is better to embark on the journey first.

He took a step, treading on the path of nothingness made of fire, and walked slowly.

With each step forward, the flames on both sides of your feet will be extinguished.

Like a lit lamp that followed him away, it gradually returned to darkness.

Oberly's solid body gradually became small and faint as the flames were extinguished one after another.

.....

The farther away from this void space, the more you can feel the rich breath of life.

It's as if the world filled with nature is opening its arms to him and welcoming him back.

With Erica in his arms, Victor smoothly walked through the void suspended by countless pale rocks.

Black holes twisted on either side distort the surrounding light into bizarre shapes.

Even the paved rocks beneath your feet were entwined with a light as thin as silk threads.

This is the abyss, the underworld near the edge of the human world.

But the so-called proximity is only relative to the underworld.

The abyss is buried at the bottom, and Hell occupies almost the entire underworld.

This time, he couldn't leave the underworld through the gates of hell first.

Because the gods of hell have been killed by him and Erica together.

Even Hades and the three supreme gods were not spared.

At the moment, there is only one Persephone left in the underworld.

Obviously, she has no right to help Victor open the gates of hell and leave the underworld.

Therefore, the only way to get out of this underground world is to walk a long way.

From the abyss upwards, first to the world.

Although Victor has the heart of Tartarus, he has the ability to teleport to the top of the abyss.

But this teleportation was limited to him.

Erica couldn't walk with him.

The only option is to rely on your feet and walk step by step into the world.

In the slight jolt, Erica, who was lying in Victor's arms, fluttered her eyelashes slightly.

In a haze, she barely opened her eyes.

Her vision gradually shifted from blur to clarity, and she finally adjusted to the deep darkness around her.

After a while, she finally saw the silhouette of a man in a trench coat in this darkness.

Well? A man in a trench coat?

After a moment of confusion, Erica's eyes widened and she woke up.

"Dimension...... Professor Victor!! ”

At the moment when the panicked and nervous voice sounded, Victor did not look down, but just glanced at Erica casually.

But he didn't let go of Erica in his arms, but continued to carry her forward.

Erica lay in Victor's arms, looking at the side of his face, feeling his cheeks warm like a burning red apple.

As if he had a fever, a slight white gas was faintly visible on his forehead.

She lowered her eyes shyly, not daring to continue her first look.

The jolting in his arms continued.

After a short moment, Erica, whose face was flushed, cautiously looked up at the side of Victor's face.

I still remember that the last memory before she fell unconscious was that Professor Victor was wearing a red armor and holding her tightly in his arms.

Now, she finally woke up, but she was still in Professor Victor's arms.

Erica didn't know anything about what happened before she woke up.

It's just that this feeling of being held forward makes her feel as if she is in a dream.

If she could, she wished she could be held like this by Professor Victor forever.

Wrong wrong......

Erica's eyes widened in surprise.

What was she thinking? Professor Victor has a fiancée!

She should have reminded the professor to put her down.

But when Erica opened her mouth to speak, she suddenly stopped.

I can't say anything from my heart.

What if the professor had planned to hold her and didn't intend to put her down at all?

Recalling Victor's public confession at her birthday party, Erica's cheeks flushed faintly again.

Speaking of which, she should still be very attractive.

Erica is confident in her looks.

Therefore, the more I think about it, the more I feel that this possibility is not impossible.

After all, someone like the professor would not easily express his desire to hold her tightly.

Do you want to fulfill the professor's wishes?

Under all kinds of thoughts and speculations, Erica became a little dizzy, and her mind was full of all kinds of fantasies.

Subconsciously, she couldn't help but ask softly:

"That...... Professor Victor. ”

"Do you like it...... Hold me? ”

Victor glanced at her again, his voice tinged with a hint of coldness:

"I'm waiting for you to speak."

"But now it seems like you prefer to be in my arms, don't you?"

……

Erica walked on the ground, her head down, and from time to time she raised her eyes to sneak a look at the tall figure in front of her.

Her flushed face revealed obvious shame.

With his hands clasped together, he followed behind Victor with a slight hesitation and twist.

Damn, she really fantasizes too much.

Sure enough, how could Professor Victor be that kind of person?

Thinking like this, Erica felt a hint of loss and sighed softly helplessly.

Although even she herself doesn't know why she is a little depressed.

Soon, she adjusted her mood and re-examined her surroundings.

In this space wrapped in deep darkness, there was no trace of other living beings, not even a trace of soul breath.

Beneath her feet was a pale rocky road that stretched into the distance, surrounded by distorted black holes and faint light, and she couldn't help but feel a little scared.

Looking around at Xizhou, Erica looked at Victor in front of her and asked with confusion

"Where is this?"

She'd been in the underworld for so long, and she'd never been to a place like this.

Especially when I just woke up, my mind was still a little confused.

Seeing this completely unfamiliar place, many questions sprung up in my heart.

"This is the abyss."

Victor's flat voice rang out.

Hearing this answer, Erica's curiosity was further piqued.

Victor's gaze was deep, and his gaze followed the pale rocky road, looking into the unfathomable ahead.

"This is the closest place to the world."

"Through here, we can go home."

As soon as these words fell, Erica was instantly stunned.

Her mouth was slightly open in shock and hope, and her eyes widened.

The body also fluctuated gently due to excitement, and even the voice unconsciously brought a trill:

"Back to ...... Can we go home? ”

What can I say about her mood right now?

Is it excitement, joy, or an inexplicable relief?

Maybe none of these feelings are enough to fully express her state of mind at the moment.

It's just that she knows.

At this moment, she can finally relax completely.

No more treading on thin ice in a hellish environment.

And most importantly......

Erica's gaze was fixed on Victor in front of her.

She succeeded!

She got her wish and literally rescued Professor Victor from hell.

Thinking of this, the joy and sense of accomplishment in her heart could hardly be suppressed.

However, before her mood gradually calmed down.

Orange flames suddenly erupted on the pale rocky road ahead.

These flames spread rapidly, as if a path of flame unfolded in front of them.

Looking at the scene in front of her, Erica was slightly stunned.

Even Professor Victor in front of her stopped.

Then, the path of flames stretched out next to her and Victor.

From that distant place, Erica seemed to see a transparent soul walking slowly.

Erica couldn't see the man's face clearly.

But as the figure drew closer,

But she could feel the other party's royal dignity, nobility and majesty.

Like a newly awakened male lion, it exudes endless pressure in the tranquility.

Feeling the pressure coming, Erica felt a shock in her heart.

Then, the transparent figure seemed to pause in front of them.

The soul glanced at the two of them a few times, and then gradually departed with a satisfied expression.

As the transparent soul departed, the path of flames behind it gradually dissipated.

Erica turned her head and looked at the figure in the distance, her heart full of mixed emotions.

"Who's that......"

She muttered to herself, and she couldn't help but feel an inexplicable sense of sadness in her heart.

It's like watching a hero who is about to come to an end.

Burning with the flame of immortality, gradually ushering in his final end.
