His eyes pierced through the entrance and through the darkness to look at a dim shadow.
It was an azure-clothed woman!
The Azure Matriarch!
Marvin’s furrowed his brows.
How could he have forgotten about her!
That woman had been following him and Yin in order to get an opportunity to undo the seal on the World Ending Twin Snakes!
Now, two of the valuable treasures in this strange place had been taken by Marvin and Yin. It was precisely now that the seal on the World Ending Twin Snakes was at the weakest it had ever been!
‘Damn, what did she plan?!’
Marvin immediately sped up, rushing toward the hallway.
The distance from the strange room to the hallway was pretty short and Marvin only took an instant.
But when Marvin stepped into the hallway, his expression suddenly changed!
The resistance was a lot stronger than before!
Taking one step seemed like he was walking across a mountain!
If this continued, Marvin wouldn’t be able to stop the Azure Matriarch!
He clenched his teeth!
Endless Path!
Using Endless Path when under the suppression of the sealing power was definitely a very risky move.
This strange sealing power had a very forceful restraining effect. As Marvin used Endless Path, his stamina was being consumed three times as fast as it normally would have been!
But he was moving slightly faster than before!
He reached that hall with sweat dripping down his forehead and saw that the Azure Matriarch was in the middle of doing something!
What was she doing?
Marvin continued trying to make his way to her.
…
There was still that fountain in the middle of the hall.
The Azure Matriarch looked very solemn.
She was holding countless candles in her arms.
The candles all seemed to be made of yellow wax.
But when he saw what they were, Marvin felt nauseated!
Human Skin Candles…
How many innocents had been murdered to make so many candles?
Each candle had to be made from 99 innocent souls!
This was the Chaos Power drawn from Ghosts!
Marvin looked helplessly on as the Azure Matriarch put the candles around the fountain.
Every five steps, she placed a candle on the ground.
Even at that time, Marvin could clearly see that a strange formation was revolving around the fountain.
That formation should have been drawn by the Azure Matriarch, taking advantage of the weakening of the seal.
And outside the hall, countless monsters were wailing like ghosts, apparently waiting for something excitedly!
Marvin gasped in shock!
His gaze finally fell back on the fountain.
The two beautiful figures were still holding each other in an exquisite embrace.
But at this moment, their expressions seemed frighteningly eerie to Marvin!
If he still couldn’t guess who this pair was at this time, he would be an idiot!
‘Those two are the sealed Twin Snakes!’
‘No wonder the sealing power in that hall is so powerful and those monsters don’t dare to approach!’
‘The fountain is the final seal!’
‘I saw it on the murals before, on the badly damaged murals, those followers prayed to that pair of snakes…’
Marvin’s mind was working rapidly as he recalled all the information that he had about them.
A bitter smile appeared on his face.
‘Was Yin already aware of the seal on the World Ending Twin Snakes?’
If he had been able to guess the location of the seal in advance and prepare some preventive measures, things would be so bad!
This was all because he didn’t have enough information!
Now, it seemed like it would be very difficult for Marvin to stop the Azure Matriarch.
When Marvin reached the last third of the distance to the hall, the Azure Matriarch had already finished preparing all the candles.
She glared coldly at Marvin, her eyes filled with contempt.
Marvin remained silent, trying to maintain Endless Path and draw closer.
He knew that he would still have a chance if he reached it before it finished!
But at this time, a restless sound came out from the group of monsters.
A naked girl was pushed forward by the spider, panicking as she was forced toward the hall!
Marvin paled!
The Azure Matriarch sneered, beckoning to that girl.
An expression of alarm appeared on that girl’s face, and in an instant, a bloody rune appeared on her fair white skin.
She was completely covered with the runes of the Evil God!
“She is the final sacrifice?” Marvin asked with great difficulty.
The Azure Matriarch seemed to be in a good mood and showed a teasing expression. “What if she is?”
“Do you still think you can stop me this time?”
“You killed my younger brother, you destroyed all the foundations of the Twin Snakes Cult in Feinan.”
“This debt is hanging over your head, Marvin!”
Marvin kept walking toward her, trying to stall. “But that all should only be coming to me.”
“Innocents shouldn’t be involved.”
The Azure Matriarch chuckled. “Sorry, I’m not interested in chatting with you.”
“The ritual has already begun.”
As she said this, all the candles lit up by themselves.
The girl’s shriek echoed throughout the hall!

As a low chanting sound permeated the hall, countless Ghosts let out their grievances from within the Human Skin Candles.
But they were trapped inside the Human skin that the candles were made from.
The flames were burning very slowly.
The Azure Matriarch was kneeling in front of that statue piously with a dagger gripped in her hand.
The overwhelmed girl shrieked as she struggled, but an invisible power seemed to bind her body.
Her body bent backward and slowly started floating in the air before ultimately stopping in front of the statue.
At that instant, all the runes on her body exploded!
The girl was badly mutilated!
But she didn’t die!
These were only relatively superficial wounds compared to what they could have been.
Marvin could see that the runes had only been marked on the surface of her body.
Even if the skin was damaged, and not just lightly, her vitality was still there!
But at this rate, she would soon bleed out and die!
Marvin put his all into getting to her!
The advanced False Divine Vessel power ignored all Laws!
At the same time, because of the Azure Matriarch’s ritual, a portion of the sealing power was diverted.
The pressure on Marvin’s body lessened considerably.
These two effects combined to allow him to speed up again.
But at this time, the Azure Matriarch completed her chant!
Her eyes were shining crimson and a cold light flashed from the dagger in her hand!
She lifted the dagger high up before ruthlessly piercing down!
The suffering girl closed her eyes at the sight of the dagger descending upon her.
During this matter of life and death, Marvin burst out with all his strength!
The sealing power had receded to the statue in the fountain.
Endless Path was fully active!
Marvin disregarded everything else and even used his meager Fate Power.
A shadow flashed and the girl’s bloody body disappeared from before the Azure Matriarch.
The dagger struck nothing!
Outside the formation of Human Skin Candles, Marvin coldly looked back the Azure Matriarch kneeling on the ground.
He was carrying that confused girl in his arms. She had already fainted, perhaps due to pain or panic.
He could feel her body shivering.
This contempt towards life, this willingness to harm innocents, this was something that Marvin loathed.
He watched the Azure Matriarch, taking precautions against possible retaliation.
But the Azure Matriarch didn’t seem too upset at Marvin for snatching the Final Sacrifice.
She slowly raised her head and exposed a strange smile. “Marvin, you are overestimating yourself.”
“You can’t stop the World Ending Twin Snakes from appearing today!”
As these words came out, Marvin felt something wrong.
A feeling of crisis burst from the bottom of his heart!
He lowered his head and saw that the girl in his arms had turned into a frightening viper!
“Sssss!”
The fangs ruthlessly bit Marvin’s neck!
They were too close, and he hadn’t considered her a threat. Marvin couldn’t dodge the sneak attack!
But the viper didn’t succeed either!
The sharp fangs bit into a shining layer!
Shapeshift Sorcerer – Diamond Shape!
Marvin had instantly activated this ability from his Boundless Shapeshifting specialty to resist the blow. The aftereffects of this Shape had gradually become less severe as his strength improved, so it was more and more worth using in such situations.
And that viper’s strength was actually quite ordinary.
But Marvin’s strength had been suppressed by the seal, and the Azure Matriarch had carefully set all of this up.
After activating Diamond Shape, Marvin quickly cut the viper into pieces!
But it was already too late.
He already couldn’t stop the Azure Matriarch from offering a sacrifice.
When Marvin lifted his head to look at what was happening near the statue, he saw the Azure Matriarch still kneeling.
The dagger in her hand was lifted high up once more before quickly falling down and penetrating her own heart!
Blood slowly flowed down, blending with the ground.
The ghosts in the Human Skin Candles howled with grief.
Marvin was distressed, shaking his head.
He had miscalculated.
As it turned out, the Azure Matriarch was actually offering herself!
More and more blood flowed down, followed by all the sealing power in the hall being completely destroyed!
Even Marvin could only be shoved away!
And in the darkness, those countless monsters bellowed, charging toward Marvin!
Thankfully, Marvin was very nimble and could keep from getting hurt by them.
“How could the blood of a mortal awaken the true power of the World Ending Twin Snakes?”
The voice of the Azure Matriarch came out from the array.
Her voice was dripping with ridicule as she taunted, “You want to save everyone, but you’ll end up being unable to save anyone.”
“You are screwed, Marvin.”
After saying these, her body fell forward, and her voice was never to be heard again.
Marvin could feel that these ghosts were madly absorbing her vitality!
And a great amount of blood flowed into the fountain!
The blood kept surging, spurting high up!
The crimson liquid spilled over the statue, filling its cracks with red liquid.
This blood seemed to have magical power, nourishing their bodies.
Marvin could clearly see that the two former statues were quickly recovering from their petrified state to a living state!
In the end, the World Ending Twin Snakes were able to recover!
Marvin didn’t leave yet!
There was only one reason that he was still here: he wanted to see if he could get rid of these two monsters right as they were resurrecting!
This was a very daunting challenge, and Marvin might even pay with his life.
But he still wanted to give it a try.
After all, in a way, if he hadn’t taken the Fate Tablet, and instead had found a way to keep anyone else from getting it, the World Ending Twin Snakes might have never been able to escape their cage!
He relied on his outstanding Dexterity to wander between the monsters, waiting for an opportunity to make a move.
And these monsters also seemed content with what they had gained as the World Ending Twin Snakes were coming back. They didn’t actually chase Marvin, but rather closely circled around the edges of the hall.
One minute later.
The thin blood in the fountain dried up.
All the blood had entered the statue.
An aged aura spread from the bodies of the couple.
‘Now!’
Marvin’s perception alerted him!
He unhesitantly attacked!
Night Beheading!
Sodom’s Blades were unsheathed and a cold light flashed as the blades aiming down at them!
But suddenly, the woman opened her eyes.
There were no pupils in her eyes. They were just a pure, cold white!
With just a glance, Marvin felt as if he been frozen!
Sodom’s Blades initially still continued slashing down, but they were diverted by some powerful force.
Following suit with the woman, the man opened his eyes.
He sneered at Marvin.
Marvin couldn’t react before a heavy fist slammed into his abdomen, sending him flying away like a broken kite as he spat up blood!
At this instant, the monsters of the Ethereal Plane all bellowed!
The resurrection of the World Ending Twin Snakes shook the entire Universe!

There were unexpected changes in the Sky Tower.
Because Marvin took away the Fate Tablet, a lot of things happened.
The transparent rooms that had trapped countless powerhouses vanished.
All of those that had been inside appeared on the top floor of the Sky Tower.
They looked at the entrance to the Ethereal Plane in shock.
The heartbeat coming from the depths as well as the horrible scenes flashing in front of them woke up the Divine Servants who had been immersed in deciphering the stone tablet!
“What… just happened?”
“What the hell is going on? I just saw two large snakes that seemed like they would sunder the heavens!”
“The World Ending Twin Snakes! It’s the resurrection of the World Ending Twin Snakes!”
The Divine Servants shared everything they saw as they panicked.
“This is the entrance to the Ethereal Plane! We have to immediately seal it!”
Someone raised an idea.
Everyone from the Astral Sea quickly agreed.
The Divine Servants greatly feared the power of the Gods.
This was the Law power.
If the World Ending Twin Snakes were to emerge here, it would be enough to kill all of them!
But at that time, a light voice chimed in, “Shut down the Ethereal Plane? Then what about the Fate Tablet?”
At the mention of the Fate Tablet, all of the Divine Servants went silent!
Some looked all over the place, while some had already received information from outside Feinan!
The battle with the Astral Beast was already over, and after Marvin took the Fate Tablet, the Order Power around the Sky Tower had already been removed.
A message spread through the interior of the Sky Tower!
The Divine Servants had a realization!
“It’s Marvin!”
“Marvin already got the Fate Tablet!”
“He is the one who released the
World Ending Twin Snakes, he should still be in the Ethereal Plane!”
“Damn! I knew that arrogant Human would create a disaster! We should immediately seal the entrance to the Ethereal Plane!”
“Yes! We can’t let the World Ending Twin Snakes come out!”
The Divine Servants were yelling haphazardly.
The opinion of those from the Astral Sea was already quite clear.
There were already many Gods who pointed out that they would prefer to have the Fate Tablet remain in the Ethereal Plane for the time being, and even risk the possibility of it being obtained by the World Ending Twin Snakes, than to let Marvin possess it!
Sealing him in the Ethereal Plane would be for the best.
But just as they prepared to make an attempt to do so, a huge claw fell from the sky, slamming the ground in front of the entrance to the Ethereal Plane.
The Copper Dragon shifted in and his huge body almost filled the entire top floor of the Sky Tower.
He looked at those Divine Servants with his huge eyes, and his voice rumbled like thunder, “No one can shut this entrance!”
“At least, before Marvin comes out, no one can do so.”
Although the Copper Dragon’s Dragon Might couldn’t intimidate the Divine Servants as easily as he could a mortal, the power that he showed in the fighting outside the Sky Tower to make them all hesitate.
Moreover, he wasn’t fighting alone.
Ivan, the Sea Elven Queen, Jessica, and the others quickly stood behind him.
There weren’t many people from Feinan who had entered the Sky Tower, but all of them were elites among elites.
They wouldn’t sit down and watch that group of Divine Servants seal Marvin inside the Ethereal Plane.
The situation entered a deadlock!
…
Inside the Ethereal Plane, an uneven fight quickly unfolded!
After the World Ending Twin Snakes resurrected, all the monsters rushed at Marvin again.
But although Marvin was injured by the Twin Snakes’ ability, he still had his Post-Godly Dexterity!
With a few dodges, he threw off those monsters chasing him!
‘Such frightening power!’
‘I have a fully evolved advanced False Divine Vessel! In theory, there shouldn’t be any Law able to injure me!’
‘But just now, that punch seemed as heavy as a mountain when it crashed against my abdomen.’
If the attack had landed after Marvin’s Diamond Shape was over, Marvin might have even died!
