The other side’s Blade Techniques had already reached the peak of this Universe, far exceeding the limits of mankind.
As a former Human, the Berserk God couldn’t imagine how Kangen had gone so far.
The Human body had hard limitations, everyone knew that. How could all these people here today have defied that common bit of knowledge?
He didn’t know.
But the appearance of the Hellgate gave him another big headache.
The balance of the forces in the Universe was very delicate right now.
Because of Lance’s prestige, the Astral Sea acted the most arrogant and overbearing. Hell and the Abyss couldn’t stand each other, but they would prioritize the Astral Sea as their enemy to some degree.
But the invasion of the Astral Beast was a huge event for the entire Universe so the Astral Sea naturally made some quick negotiations with the other forces.
It was safe to say that even if the Fate Tablet came into being, both sides should follow the rules they had set up.
The Berserk God’s appearance already showed that the Astral Sea had sneakily infringed upon the agreement. What they were most wary of was if Hell also sent someone to Feinan that was on the same level, or even higher…
Although this shouldn’t be possible due to the Planar Barrier and the interference of the recently destroyed Universe Magic Pool, the Berserk God, that kind of fake Mid God, was already at the limit of the power level that one could be at and still be able to enter Feinan via the loophole they were abusing. Surely Hell could only send some Greater Devils at most.
But the Hellgate still caused a panic among the forces of the Astral Sea!
Especially after Diross’ high-profile move. Who knew whether an ancient Lord of Hell would try to stake it all for the 4th Fate Tablet!
But then, their worries calmed down.
A Lord of Hell really did emerge from the Hellgate.
But first of all, that poor Lord of Hell didn’t come of his own volition; rather, he was thrown down!
Second, this was just an avatar!
The Molten Archdevil’s avatar!
When Marvin saw that person having the exact same flame as himself, he instantly understood.
The Molten Archdevil had been driven out of Hell!
Marvin had no need to guess who the culprit was.
As expected, Diross’ voice echoed from behind the Hellgate. “Dear Marvin, this is my gift to you.”
“Please don’t be modest, you have to enjoy it thoroughly.”
The Hellgate then let out a sound before closing on its own.
The Molten Archdevil Avatar bellowed, and the countless black flames enveloping him turned into meteors flying down at Marvin!
He couldn’t suppress the urge coming from the Hell Spawn.
He and Marvin met yet again, so regardless of what else happened now, only one of them could survive.
The other one had to be swallowed!
This was the cruel law of Hell!
Marvin wasn’t afraid at all.
He could feel the power of the transformation in his Bloodline.
If he could kill the Molten Archdevil’s avatar, not only would his strength improve greatly, but it would also greatly boost the morale of Feinan’s forces!
The two flames mixed together.
An enormous plume of flames suddenly burst out in that land of Order!
It was a Molten Domain created by the attraction of both sides’ Hell Spawns!

The sudden fight suspended the fierce battle that had been underway.
After apparently fleeing from Marvin earlier, the Molten Archdevil had now returned, adding a lot of uncertainty to the battle for the Fate Tablet, at least in the eyes of others.
At this moment, the two sides had separated and gathered in their own groups.
And between them was the continuously expanding Molten Domain!
In fact, a frightening power burst out from the Hell Spawns as they spurred each other on.
If not for the powerful Shackles of Order in the surroundings of the Sky Tower, a black hole might have already been burnt into Feinan by these flames.
Regardless, despite the continuous repair of the Order Power, that frightening Molten Domain still expanded.
From a certain point of view, this Molten Domain was a temporary version of the Molten Hell!
People could see that pitch-dark flame pervading through the entirety of this “Hell”.
The place was barren. Besides the many hardened rocks, all that could be seen were flames and lava.
Marvin and the Molten Archdevil’s avatar turned into two black flames and clashed within that Domain in a fierce fight.
After the initial intense collisions between the two of them, the flames on both sides gradually settled somewhat, exposing their true bodies.
Marvin still had the body of a regular Human, but his current situation was quite dire… Due to the transformation, he couldn’t use his other abilities!
All of his normal abilities, including his Ruler of the Night Legend skills and his False Divine Vessel’s Domains, had been sealed!
He could only rely purely on his body to fight the Molten Archdevil!
What was even more unlucky for him was that he couldn’t even use suitable weapons.
Because this was just like the Molten Hell!
In this pure Bloodline battle of the Hell Spawns, Marvin couldn’t use Sodom’s Blades.
This was definitely a huge trial for Marvin.
As a Ranger who was used to killing with curved daggers, when did he have the time to hone his fistfighting?
He was at the disadvantage from the start!
“Boom!”
The black flames interweaved and Marvin could only feel his fists shattering.
As both sides struggled, Marvin was at a loss. If he didn’t dodge quickly, he would be chased down by the Molten Archdevil!
‘This is too unfair!’
‘I have a Human body, while that guy is pure stone!’
Marvin silently complained to himself.
He was getting rather annoyed.
The Molten Archdevil was a Lava Giant!
He was twice as big as Marvin and was only somewhat inferior to Marvin with regards to Dexterity, but when it came to Strength, he far surpassed Marvin.
If not for this only being an avatar, Marvin might have gotten crushed to death by just one punch.
For the Hell Spawns to ensure that their inheritor had the purest Bloodline, they deprived both sides of their extraneous abilities, but this virtually gave the advantage to the Molten Overlord who was more used to both Hell’s terrain as well as fistfighting.
But the saving grace for Marvin was that he could feel that due to the black flame’s help, his injuries were being healed at a frightening speed!
His physical qualities could also be seen increasing at a visible pace.
This was an unprecedented opportunity!
After all, physical fitness was very difficult to increase after reaching the Legend level, or at least, raising the qualities of the body through attributes was very difficult.
And the transformation of this Fire Bloodline was definitely tempering his body!
The fight had only lasted a minute, yet Marvin had already received more than thirty injuries, light and heavy. But thanks to the black flames, he had already recovered from them.
And in this short time, his Constitution had already gone up by 1 point!
The most frightening thing was that according to the interface, not only was his Constitution rapidly increasing, but his other main attributes were too!
This wasn’t part of the temporary effect of the Ruler of Shadows ability doubling his attributes. Rather, it was an entirely real and permanent improvement to his physical qualities.
With his current rate of growth, Marvi
n’s Dexterity would most likely reach 40 soon! And the other five attributes were also bearing down at the Godly Realm.
The awakening of the Hell Spawn was a challenge for Marvin, but it was also a great opportunity!
As long as he could kill this flaming rock in front of him!
‘I need a weapon,’ Marvin thought inwardly.
At this time, a log flashed in his interface, making Marvin’s eyes shine:
[“Perfect Domain – Shadow” passive taking effect… Would you like to fuse it with your Bloodline?]
The field of Perfect Domain was really outstanding. Even though the advanced False Divine Vessel was already sealed and couldn’t be properly activated, but under the stimulation of the black flames, the Domain’s passive actually took effect on its own!
Suddenly, Ruler of Shadows activated and Marvin’s attributes doubled!
[Yes!]
Marvin didn’t hesitate to have his Bloodline fuse with this ability.
He wanted to see what kind of phenomenon would emerge from the fusion of the [Ruler of Shadows] and the power of the 1st Generation Molten Archdevil!
Shortly after, he felt many more black flames coming out from his skin.
These flames were a lot purer than the Lava Giant’s flames… and darker!
[Fusion complete!]
[You learnt a new ability – Shadow Fire]
[Shadow Fire: These flames from Hell belong to the Shadow Domain. As the Ruler of Shadows, you can use Shadow Fire, and you are in control of the shadow flames.]
Marvin’s eyes shone as he rolled to the side to dodge the fierce slam of the Molten Archdevil. With a “Woosh”, a pitch-black flame flew out.
Everyone recoiled in shock as that black flame started changing shape!
“He… He can control the Flames of Hell?”
A Divine Servant looked at Marvin with a pale face, as if he saw something inconceivable.
“No, that’s not the Flames of Hell!”
The Berserk God’s expression became even more contorted as he shouted, “Only true Lords of Hell can control the Flames of Hell. Even the Molten Archdevil Avatar can’t, how could he?!”
“These flames… They look like shadows!”
After these words, the newly formed flames condensed into the shape of a pair of curved daggers!
These daggers were of exactly the same shape as Sodom’s Blades.
Marvin was inwardly excited. The flames kept burning, and in a flash, the pair of Sodom Blades formed from Shadow Fire took shape!
The hulking mass of rock roared, apparently weary of Marvin constantly darting around, as he began to rush over, trying not to give Marvin any chance to escape.
Marvin felt full of confidence with these daggers in hand. He rushed to re-engage the avatar in close combat.
Desperation Style!
Shadow Fire ripped through the Molten Archdevil’s Molten Domain and Marvin suddenly surged with speed, completely overpowering the Molten Archdevil!
The Shadow Blades cut open the Molten Archdevil’s seemingly impregnable defense, lopping off his right shoulder!
A mournful howl echoed for a long time from the Molten Domain.
Those outside the area, regardless of whether they were from the Astral Sea or from other corners of the Universe, they all sank into a deathly silence.
Perhaps they were already starting to reconsider Marvin’s previous proposal.

Inside the pitch-black Molten Domain.
The intense fight was still underway.
But over the course of a short three minutes, the situation of the battle had gradually become clear.
Marvin’s state of having to just passively defend had completely reversed after he learnt how to use Shadow Fire and then formed the Shadow Blades.
And the additional power granted by Ruler of Shadows was no joke. With his attributes doubled, Marvin was clearly stronger than a Mid God!
And the halo of the Child of the Plane allowed him to completely disregard all Laws, while his imperturbable willpower let him easily resist the mental attacks of the Molten Archdevil.
All his weak points had been complemented and his strong points strengthened.
The stone avatar simply couldn’t keep up with Marvin’s enhanced Post-Godly Dexterity!
“Woosh!”
The daggers made of Shadow Fire cut the stone figure’s arm once again, almost slashing down the neck on the way!
Despite the enemy having such powerful regenerative ability, Marvin wasn’t worried at all.
He paid attention to what cards the opponent held while continuously attacking him with a certain steady rhythm.
The battle seemed to have already been settled.
The aura of the Molten Archdevil’s avatar clearly seemed weaker than it should have been. This might have been due to him suffering an injury before being driven out of the Molten Hell. The injury he suffered wasn’t light either.
Diross and Marvin, this grandfather-grandson pair, were both fierce. One was dealing with the main body while the other took care of the avatar. They were completely annihilating the Molten Clan.
Many people were already thinking about Marvin’s earlier offer.
With Marvin’s currently identity and status, he naturally wouldn’t just say something like that for no reason.
There was definitely an important reason for him to want to find that young boy.
They began trying to recall the appearance of that boy, but strangely, some of them couldn’t remember his appearance despite the fact that they could just moments ago!
And these people weren’t ordinary mortals!
They were Divine Servants or Apostles with Divine Blessings. For something to be interfering with their memories, there could only be one explanation: This boy that Marvin was looking for was extremely powerful!
He must be using some ways to alter the memory of his appearance, making others recall a blurry face instead.
For this kind of ability to affect those gathered, his power should be on the level of the Gods.
Upon realizing this, many of the Divine Servants who had enmity with Marvin suddenly felt their hearts sink.
Marvin’s strength kept changing their understanding of Feinan.
They originally thought that after all the Plane Guardians died, they would be able to do whatever they wanted in Feinan.
They didn’t expect Marvin to be so shocking!
He killed the forces of three Gods on his own, and he wasn’t losing to the Molten Archdevil’s Avatar. Even if he had no aid, he probably would have been okay, but without him saying a single word, Feinan’s Legends gathered before the forces of the entire Universe!
The strength still left in Feinan had been greatly underestimated.
‘It looks like… the return of the Gods won’t be as simple as the prophecy foretold.’
A Divine Servant inwardly sighed, ‘This Marvin, if he keeps growing, he will definitely soon be the new generation Plane Guardian!’
‘Unfortunately, the truly powerful ones are fighting that Astral Beast. Only after they take care of that threat would they be able to do anything about Marvin.’
And everyone couldn’t help being worried.
Marvin’s rate of growth was unprecedented. In a mere six months, he reached the level of power that a Half-Plane Guardian would have. He also had the support of the famous Goddess of Truth and the tyrannical Lord of Hell Diross. If it turned out that the Gods couldn’t deal with him, who could?
If he wasn’t killed now, then after growing some more, wasn’t it possible that he could end up becoming the next Nicholas?
After all, even the Gods had to admit that if the Great Elven King hadn’t received that earlier grievous injury, causing his strength to weaken, he wouldn’t have died so easily outside the Universe Magic Pool. His strength was great enough to defeat a
ny of the New Gods in a duel, apart from the Three Great Gods!
Before everyone realized it, the First Mountain Range thoroughly turned into Marvin’s stage.
Everyone looked silently at the Molten Domain, watching as Marvin’s sturdy body cut through the air, slowly chipping away at the Molten Archdevil!
His dagger techniques had reached the pinnacle, and his moves were only trained to take human lives. The Molten Archdevil’s body was sturdy, but it was only an avatar. Marvin’s moves were like gradually boiling a frog with warm water. When facing an opponent with such immense vitality, there was no need to focus on killing them quickly. It would actually be better to slowly weaken them. As long as one was patient enough to remain single-mindedly devoted to the task at hand and not make any errors, the final outcome would be perfect.
Because of the Laws of Hell, even if someone wanted to charge in to help the Molten Archdevil, it would be impossible.
Moreover, with powerful allies like the Copper Dragon or the Blade Master near Marvin, most wouldn’t even be able to think about approaching the Molten Domain.
The group from the Astral Sea was in a daze.
The Berserk God’s mien was particularly grim, and his grip on his hammer kept tightening. Just looking at him, one might think that he was trying to keep his anger in check, but only he knew that what he couldn’t keep suppressed was the fear of those blade techniques!
As a God, he had lived for too long, and was now very afraid of death.
Over the years, he had gone on rampages in various parts of the Universe while relying on the name of the War God, and no one dared to stand against him.
But he met a different type this time. He could see true killing intent in the eyes of Kangen.
Each slash frightened him. Whether it was in pure physical strength or its power with the Laws, both exceeded the limitations of mankind.
He was truly one of the [Godlike]!
Those so-called Godlike were a group of extraordinary Humans. In all of Feinan’s history, they were very rarely seen. They used some unknown methods to forcibly break through the limitations of the Human body, gaining the ability to contend against the Gods. They weren’t Plane Guardians, and they also didn’t draw support from the Fate Tablets. Instead, they accomplished this through their own perseverance and willpower!
