Chapter 382 The Remains of Death! Ethan is the man who will become "God"! (not really)
The words fell.
The silent prisoners suddenly moved.
As if they had received a royal decree, they surged toward the towering metal gate like a flood!
It frantically stretched out its arms, pounced on it, and melted on it while screaming in agony!
Flesh and blood melted away, and the soul was forcibly ripped out of the skin!
Twisting and howling, they were sucked into that door!
Little by little, its golden engravings are outlined!
"Aaaaaah!!!"
Screams erupted one after another.
The sound echoed and reverberated in the empty cave.
"thump."
Percy fell to the ground with a thud.
He stared blankly at the figures running past him.
Watching them, with their golden eyes wide open, rush towards the gate one after another, only to die screaming in agony.
A tremendous sense of fear and absurdity welled up inside me!
Immersed in this chaos.
He even began to wonder if he himself was the one who was crazy and wrong!
Percy clutched his head.
I felt with horror that the golden light that had been obscuring my thoughts was slowly breaking through my shell.
Tears streaming down his face:
"
Mom and Dad, I was wrong.
'
What Ministry of Magic? What honor and righteousness?
None of it matters.
In front of Ethan.
To live a normal life is a true luxury!
I want to resign...
This was the last thought in Percy's mind.
He no longer had the sanity to endure Ethan's second trial as a court clerk.
Let Ethan go and bomb those stupid Ministry of Magic officials.
Ethan tilted his head back and opened his arms.
As if taking a bath, they enjoyed being surrounded by the crowd.
He heard the mournful roar and felt longing arms brushing past him.
It blends into the gate.
I felt the light in my head constantly filling and expanding.
You rallied these apathetic young people, inspiring them to risk their lives and give their lives a renewed spark!
Your act of kindness has warmed the world!
[Light brightness increased!]
[Your magic now possesses a richer power of light! It can be used to remove deeper curses!]
Congratulations! You have successfully used a sufficient number of souls as a key to open the gates of antiquity!
As the subtitles appeared.
"Boom—"
'
The previously closed door slowly opened.
immediately.
A thick, crimson mist of blood surged forth!
In just a few breaths.
It filled the cave.
Ethan smelled a very strong rusty odor.
It was as if countless pieces of flesh and blood had been piled up inside the door.
No, unbelievable...
A trembling voice rang out as the undead cautiously emerged from a distance.
Staring in shock at the river-like liquid in front of the door.
[You actually managed to gather all the souls... How did you summon such a large group of people?]
at this time.
The black wizard's gaze toward Ethan held no hostility.
It is all praise and admiration for those who share the same ideals.
What a promising young man!
The dark wizard drifted over slowly, his eyes itching as he looked at the unconscious Percy.
They wanted to devour his soul.
But Ethan's emotionless gaze met her eyes.
He knew deep down that he was inferior to others in skill and that he was no match for Ethan in the underworld.
He cleared his throat and said reservedly:
"Your strength is indeed formidable, comparable to that of the blasphemed Extis."
Now that you have opened the door, I invite you to share this ancient treasure with me!
]
Together... we'll rule the world!
World domination?
I'm sorry, but someone else had already invited me before you.
Ethan ignored the talking ghost, treating it as if the corpse was speaking.
Looking at the scarlet gate, a sense of curiosity arose in my heart:
What kind of secret treasure is hidden inside that could drive this dark wizard to such madness?
It also allows him to remember things from hundreds of years ago, when the magic system was still incomplete.
Just before reaching the threshold of immortality.
Even Voldemort had to bow and scrape before him, respectfully addressing him as "senior"!
"I really want to fight this guy in his prime. It would be so interesting and would inspire me to do more."
Ethan smacked his lips in thought.
He stepped forward, cautiously putting on a layer of protection for himself.
Then, he braced his hands on the door and pushed it open with a loud "bang".
The heavy door swung open with a roar, and crimson mist billowed out.
It was applied to the skin of the surviving prisoners who were now terrified.
It erodes, leaving scar-like marks.
This causes their skin to dry out and age rapidly.
Just a few seconds.
They turned into blood-red, dried-up corpses!
"Sizzle."
A magical barrier, imbued with the power of light, continuously resists the encroachment of the mist.
Ethan squinted.
When the thick fog finally allowed us to see clearly what was inside the door.
I couldn't help but hold my breath and widen my eyes!
What came into view was an enormous heart!
It stands over ten meters tall, nestled amidst a network of interconnected tissues.
The surface is dry and brownish-red, covered with large patches of rotten sores, like a hard shell.
Like a fruit that has lost its nutrients.
Upon closer inspection, it was still pulsating almost imperceptibly.
Beneath Azkaban lies an ancient heart!
"This is..
'
Ethan was surprised, and the tip of his nose twitched.
I smelled a very familiar scent.
That was—the breath of destiny!
It was exactly the same scent he had smelled in the mirror world at the end of last semester.
It exuded a magical power that was difficult for a normal wizard to achieve.
You discovered ￥&*——%
[Soul fusion test passed, knowledge and skills test passed, curse resistance test passed!]
[Reason...test passed!]
A sharp, needle-like pain.
The garbled text in the subtitles disappeared, replaced by a stunning message!
You have discovered the heart of death, the heart of corruption!
[The Heart of Corruption: In ancient times, when the sun was split apart, Death used the darkness to abandon his physical body and ascend to the heavens as a soul, until he gained the power to control destiny.]
This is the only remnant left behind by Death. The heart, which once possessed endless beating power, has been transformed into a decaying state by the passage of time.
[Infection and mutation in organisms that come into close proximity simultaneously endow them with vigorous vitality.]
Is this the heart of Death?
Death has a heart?!
Ethan's eyes widened, as if he had stumbled upon some unspeakable secret!
The fact that Death once possessed a physical body signifies this.
He was once a "being" composed of body, soul, and mind.
The first question that popped into Ethan's mind was—
Since the high-ranking Death God is "advanced" from a living being.
So...
Can I become a "god"?
Possessing the same authority as Death?!
For an instant.
Ethan's breathing suddenly quickened, and his heart pounded!
An irrepressible passion burst forth from the depths of my chest!
It transformed into a tingling, electric-like sensation that spread throughout my entire body!
...No wonder I wanted to know the truth about the history of this heart.
It needs to pass so many tests!
At this time.
New text appeared on the subtitles:
[As part of Death—though a discarded part]
You can still inflict real damage on it by killing its heart.
This can be seen as one of the conditions for promotion: resolving the issue of one's destiny!
