Cerberus lay obediently on the ground, and the fire above his body weakened significantly.

Its steely body shuddered involuntarily, and the temperature of its scorching heat dropped considerably.

Seeing this scene in front of her, Leah couldn't help but open her mouth wide, her eyes full of doubt and disbelief.

What's going on here?

It's not the first time Ria has been in front of the gates of Hell, and she's seen a number of lost spirits trying to get close to or escape from the gates of hell.

But none of them, without exception, failed to overcome the barrier of Cerberus.

The three-headed dog of hell may be docile to her.

But when guarding the gate, it immediately enters the working state, fast and powerful.

An impregnable guardian of the gates of hell.

It never allows anyone to come in or out easily.

And if the souls of the dead without the leadership of the Grim Reaper try to approach the gates of hell, they will definitely be crushed by Cerberus as a snack.

But what does she see now?

Leah couldn't believe it.

A transparent revenant swaggered in front of Cerberus.

And this watchdog of hell is like a well-behaved puppy.

Even from its gesture, Leah could feel a little fear.

Cerberus, who guards the gates of hell, is afraid of a revenant.

Isn't this the opposite of Tiangang?

However, when the gaze of the transparent soul lifted slightly, it fell on Riya.

At that moment, Lia instantly felt her western limbs stiffen.

It was as if pinned to the spot by an invisible chain, and there was nowhere to escape.

Leah got goosebumps all over her body, and her hair stood upside down.

There was a feeling that as long as this soul punched her.

In the next second, she could be reincarnated along the gate of hell next to her.

But then, the feeling of oppression in my body suddenly disappeared.

Instead, there was a kind and soft scent that brushed Riya's face like a warm spring breeze.

This sudden change in aura made Lia deeply puzzled, was this transparent soul really just an ordinary revenant?

At the same time, a familiar and melodious voice sounded in Leah's ears again:

"Aren't you the little girl of the Clavenners?"

Well?

Leah was slightly stunned, and her heart rippled.

What's the matter, he knows me?

Although she had long felt that the voice seemed somewhat familiar, she just didn't react at the time.

Now that this sentence came out, Liya's heart confirmed this familiarity even more.

Wonderfully, she really knows this soul?

Despite her mental search, Ria couldn't locate the familiar source.

She felt a little dizzy, and asked with a puzzled face:

"You ......"

Seeing the other party's kind smile, the fear in Leah's heart gradually dissipated.

She narrowed her eyes, carefully trying to discern the rough outline of the transparent soul.

But when she looked closely, her heart raced with surprise at what she saw, and her mind roared.

"Your Majesty...... Your Majesty!? ”

Now, she finally understood where that sense of familiarity and that kingly majestic momentum came from.

Isn't this the strongest emperor of the Carencian Empire, Thor VIII?

Leah has stepped into the palace several times and witnessed the emperor who is known as the strongest emperor in the world.

Oh yes, now he's the former emperor.

No, no, no, Leah noticed that her attention had gone astray.

Why is Saul VIII here?

For a moment, an irreverent but extremely shocking thought flashed through Lia's mind.

Could it be that Saul VIII has already passed away?

Perhaps from Leah's shocked expression, Oberly could see her impolite thoughts.

The transparent soul body actually smiled and nodded.

"Exactly what you think."

Wow!

This simple confirmation sent Riya's thoughts scattered like exploding fireworks.

For a moment, she felt shocked and overwhelmed like never before.

Saul VIII, really passed away!

This is definitely not good news for the current empire!

As the new empress, Aurelian's ruling foundation has not yet been solidified, and the discontent of the nobles has long been surging.

Of course, it is said that it is dissatisfied, but in fact, Leah fully understands the thoughts of these nobles.

The minds of these nobles were nothing more than a desire to gain more rights and interests.

The idea of rebellion or the establishment of a new emperor was something these nobles would never dare to have.

Today, the Clevenner family's influence is indeed able to suppress the ambitions of these nobles.

But that's only on the premise that Oberly is still alive.

Their fear of the Craviner family was less of a fear of the Cleviner family and more of a fear of Aubery, who was still alive.

Now, with the death of Oberly, it is natural that the influence of the Clavenna family alone will not be able to curb the ambitions of those nobles.

Unless, Viktor can be resurrected.

But death cannot be resurrected, and Victor's death is almost an unchangeable end in the hearts of every nobleman.

Thinking of this, Liya's gaze suddenly became a little dazed.

She had come to the gates of hell in search of Victor.

As a result, instead of seeing Victor, he met the previous emperor of the empire.

This couldn't help but worry Leah again.

The unsettling atmosphere still lingers.

Victor, is it true that he can't come back?

"But you don't have to worry too much."

A calm, indifferent voice suddenly sounded, stabilizing Liya's erratic thoughts.

Leah slowly raised her head, her gaze falling on the strongest man who had once been at the top of the empire.

I saw a gentle smile on his face, and there was no trace of worry about the future of the empire.

Yes.

Even a question that a person who knows little about politics can think of, how could this emperor not foresee it.

Perhaps, he had already made arrangements to face death so calmly.

It's just that I was able to meet him in front of this gate of hell, and I have to say that this coincidence is really amazing.

Then, as if thinking of something, Oberly folded his hands behind his back and looked at Leah with a smile:

"Let me guess."

"You are here as a living person, you can't be waiting for Victor, are you?"

Leah was taken aback by this sudden speculation, and even unconsciously took a step back.

She wondered how Saul VIII had guessed.

Seeing Leah's reaction like this, Oberly couldn't help but laugh.

His laughter was very loud, not at all as old as before.

On the contrary, with a fierce force, the darkness of the Western Zhou Dynasty was shaken and trembled.

Hearing Oberly's laughter, Cerberus next to him couldn't help but curl up even tighter, as if the bones of steel were trembling slightly.

Eventually, Oberly's laughter stopped.

He turned to the front, his eyes fell on Leah, who was covering her ears and looking a little embarrassed, and asked in a mocking tone:

"Am I being too loud?"

said so, but there was no trace of embarrassment in his expression.

Leah smiled reluctantly, and then continued to hear Oberly say:

"If you're really looking for Victor, go home first."

Hearing this, a wave quickly swelled in Liya's heart.

Secretly thinking about what Oberly meant.

Later, she saw Oberly continue:

"On the way here, I saw Victor."

"Oh yes, and that little girl from the Levi family, I have to keep up with him."

He paused, as if reminiscing about that moment, and sighed.

"If nothing else, it won't be long before he will be home."

As soon as these words fell, Liya was stunned for a while.

But soon, a look of surprise appeared on her face.

As emperor, Oberly could not have lied.

And he mentioned that the daughter of Duke Rivi's family was also with Victor, which further confirmed the truth of his words.

Because she and Duke Rivi never revealed this matter, even the current empress did not know.

She subconsciously wanted to leave the place immediately, and hurried back to the Clavenna mansion.

But the moment she turned around, she realized something.

So he hurriedly bowed deeply to Oberly:

"Thank you very much, Your Majesty!"

With that, Leah ran out of the garden in a hurry.

As she stepped between the void, a cloud of red smoke rose at the same time and disappeared in place.

Oberly looked at the back of Leah leaving in a hurry, and couldn't help but sigh softly:

"Kid, looks like you've got another competitor."

His soft voice was loud in the open space.

Because of Leah's departure, he was the only one left here and the three-headed dog lying on the ground and not daring to move.

Soon, Oberly's expression suddenly became serious, and his originally soft voice became much heavier:

"Now that your daughter is gone, Tishnato."

"It's time for you to come out too."

As soon as his words fell, the fires around him seemed to heed the call and converged.

The flames gathered at the entrance of the gates of hell, and out of them came a fiery soul.

It churned in flames, gradually condensing into the appearance of a middle-aged man in his thirties.

The middle-aged man looked solemn and solemn.

He knelt on one knee in front of Oberly, his head bowed, and met Oberly's gaze with a very respectful gesture.

"Your Majesty, hell is empty."

"Please come with me to Valhalla."

"Your Heroic Spirit should not be buried here."
