Mo Li asked himself this question, and his eyes became incredibly confused.
Just then, a large hand suddenly snatched the handle from Mo Li's hand. Mo Li slowly looked up and saw it was Kazuma Sato.
"You, with a harem that I envy and formidable strength, why are you still here? You must have something important to do, right? You're not just playing games here, are you?"
“You don’t understand anything at all… I… I…”
Mo Li turned her head to the side, not daring to look into Sato Kazuma's eyes again.
At that moment, Sato Kazuma, for reasons unknown, mustered his courage and grabbed Mo Li by the collar.
"I don't understand what you're thinking, but you've been through so much to get to where you are today. Are you really going to give it all up? How can you do this to me, the bastard, who lost to you!"
"I gave up the chance to be with Megumin and Darkness to return to the real world! You could have gone back but chose to give it up. That's so lame, Demon Lord!"
"How can you do this to your family members who are waiting for you over there?"
Mo Li was rendered speechless by Sato Kazuma's words and could only remain silent.
Seeing that Mo Li was completely unmoved, Kazuma Sato shook his body repeatedly with both hands.
"Do you know how envious I am of you, you bastard? If there's someone who loves me and is always waiting for me, even if we're in two different worlds, I'll go back there without hesitation!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a strong wind suddenly swept through the room, causing furniture to fly everywhere, creating an extremely eerie scene.
Kazuma Sato was so frightened that he immediately released Mo Li, quickly hid in a corner, covered his head with his hands, and shouted loudly:
"I'm sorry! I didn't mean to say that...!"
"No, you're absolutely right!"
Mo Li shook her head, her eyes regaining their clarity.
Surprisingly, it was actually Kazuma Sato who convinced himself in the end, which was quite unexpected.
Mo Li glanced at Sato Kazuma with a complicated look, then flew away through the window; he still had unfinished business to attend to.
By the time Sato Kazuma realized what was happening, Mo Li was already gone from the room.
Faced with the mess in his home, Kazuma Sato had a look of utter despair on his face, and in the end, he had to clean up the mess himself.
Mo Li arrived in front of a building through a portal. The soul vault of the God Realm was stored in this building.
Kazuma Sato was right; for the sake of his family, he had to go back.
As if sensing Mo Li's arrival, the lights inside the building flickered on and off, creating an eerie atmosphere.
"Unauthorized personnel are prohibited from entering! Please leave this area immediately!"
A woman dressed in a tight leather outfit and wearing a butterfly mask suddenly appeared in front of Mo Li, her eyes glowing red.
Mo Li's lips curled up slightly; he hadn't expected that there were superpowered individuals in this world.
"Interesting. Can you stop me?"
Seeing that Mo Li wouldn't leave, the woman decided to strike first, pulling out her twin knives and stabbing at him.
The next moment, the woman saw a headless corpse standing in front of Mo Li, and then she lost consciousness.
Mo Li maintained her smile and flew directly to the top floor of the building.
"Searching floor by floor is too troublesome; I prefer a more direct approach!"
The Black Emperor Sword appeared in his hand, and Mo Li slowly raised it above his head.
"Black Emperor - Eternal Prison Slash!"
"Young friend, wait a moment!"
Just as Mo Li was about to make a move, an elderly man suddenly appeared in front of him.
"Young friend, please forgive me. This is my cultivation ground. Why do you want to kill me?"
"Hand over the Soul Treasury and I'll let you go!"
The white-bearded old man frowned and raised his hand to stop him:
"Soul Vault? What is this? I've never heard of it before!"
"Then there's nothing to talk about. Get out of my way, or you'll die!"
Mo Li was only thinking about finding the soul vault as soon as possible and returning to the other world, and didn't care at all about the cultivation ground the person in front of him was talking about.
Seeing Mo Li's murderous intent, the old man pulled out a series of talismans and shouted:
"If you don't leave now, don't blame me for being ruthless!"
"Stop your rambling and nonsense! Enough with the chit-chat, execute him!"
A slash several hundred meters long shot towards the building. The old man tried to use magic to defend himself, but was instead split in two.
"Boom!"
The building collapsed instantly, and a black, safe-like object was floating in mid-air.
After the smoke and dust cleared, Mo Lifeng stepped forward and reached out to sense the items stored inside.
An existence that even the Black Emperor's Eternal Prison Slash couldn't cleave must be the soul repository of the God Realm.
"Let's go back and ask Hades; he should know how to open this vault!"
With that in mind, Mo Li used the Sealing Master to open a portal and returned to the bus stop he had been at before.
Chapter 449 Destroying the Soul Vault, the World Tree
The Underworld, the Six Paths Palace.
Hades stared at the black safe in front of him, a hint of excitement flashing in his eyes. Just as he was about to step forward and touch it carefully, Mo Li stopped him.
"Pluto, I've retrieved the Soul Vault for you. Now can you tell me how to open it?"
"It's natural."
Hades nodded and reluctantly withdrew his hand.
"Pluto Spear—!"
The sky above the temple was suddenly shrouded in dark clouds, and accompanied by thunder, a gray spear appeared before everyone's eyes.
Hades stepped forward, grabbed the Hades Spear, aimed it at the keyhole, and shoved it in.
"Crack!"
As the Hades Spear rotated, the shape of the Soul Vault began to change.
The original safe was replaced by countless small square blocks, arranged neatly in a row.
Hades casually grabbed a gray cube, which landed in his palm.
"Hahahaha, I'm free again! Supreme God Realm, what can you do to me now!"
With a loud "boom," the cube shattered, and Hades shuddered, letting out a roar.
After an unknown amount of time, Hades slowly opened his eyes and looked at Mo Li with a smile.
"The souls of all the gods in the divine realm are here. Demon King, they are all yours!"
"I have other things to attend to, so I'll have to keep you company for now!"
After saying this, Hades transformed into a streak of light and disappeared into the temple.
Mo Li frowned. It seemed that this Hades also had some secrets he hadn't revealed.
But never mind, we're in a business relationship. It's enough for me to get what I want. As for other people's problems, I don't have the magnanimity to help them.
Looking at the neatly arranged squares, a glint of light flashed in Mo Li's eyes.
Mio Takamiya only felt a flash before her eyes, and all the cubes were cut in half, with the souls inside drifting around.
The next moment, Mo Li's azure Mystic Eyes of Death Perception lit up, and he began his slaughter.
Countless souls perished beneath the Crimson Emperor Sword, with the most (
A cruel smile appeared on Mo Li's lips, as if he could already see the tragic state of the God Realm.
"Let's go, we should head back!"
Mio Takamiya and Scáthach nodded, and the three of them left the Six Paths Palace together.
The Hades guards who were originally stationed outside have disappeared, and the entire underworld is silent.
Mo Li closed his eyes, sensed the surrounding magic, and discovered that all the people in the underworld had disappeared.
Could it be that Hades has led monsters from the underworld to seek revenge?
"Mo Li, shouldn't we..."
Just as Mio Chonggong was about to say something, Mo Li stopped her, as he had no interest in getting involved in other people's affairs.
Mo Li led the three of them out of the Underworld. Strangely enough, the mist in the Underworld disappeared for some reason.
Kotori, Esdeath, and the others who were stationed in the woods rushed forward to greet Mo Li upon his return.
"You're back! How did it go? Did that Hades give you any trouble?"
"Yes, it's an emergency. We'll talk on the way!"
The mist had dissipated, and the Demon King's army traversed the Underworld smoothly, continuing their advance towards the mountaintop.
On the way, Mo Li recounted her experiences in the underworld and also told everyone about the Soul Treasury.
Everyone was extremely excited after hearing this, after all, being able to personally kill a god was a great feat.
As Mo Li got closer to the summit, he felt the world consciousness suppressing him more and more deeply.
If the Demon King was in such a state, the other demons were even worse off; some of the weaker ones fainted on the spot.
"Something's not right, stop!"
Mo Li frowned and immediately stopped in her tracks.
If they continue like this, the Demon King's army will probably collapse completely before they even reach the realm of gods.
"I'll go see what's going on. You all stay here!"
After saying that, without waiting for anyone else to answer, Mo Li flew into the air on his own.
A massive, incredibly thick tree trunk appeared before Mo Li's eyes, and as he continued to rise, the entire tree came into view.
Mo Li's face was filled with surprise. It turned out that the place they had just walked on was the root part of the tree.
"The World Tree...!"
No wonder he felt unwell; the World Tree was located at the summit of Mount Minna.
Ragnarok, the World Tree, Nidhogg the Black King...
Memories flooded Mo Li's mind, and he understood—this was his duty.
The next moment, Nidhogg, the true form of the Demon King, appeared in the sky.
Kotori, Miku, Esdeath, and the others looked up at the black figure, their eyes filled with admiration.
"Everyone, get out of there!" Mo Li commanded.
Although they didn't understand Mo Li's intentions, everyone still retreated in an orderly manner.
After confirming that the Demon King's army had retreated to a safe position, Mo Li let out a dragon's roar and flew into the sky, only stopping tens of thousands of meters above the ground.
The next second, Mo Li swooped down, breaking through layers of clouds and mist, and rushed straight towards the World Tree.
The spacetime rifts around Mo Li were created by air pressure, causing the entire world to be in turmoil.
This is the Nibelungen that belongs exclusively to Moli. The four elemental forces—fire, earthquake, gale, and tsunami—began to ravage the World Tree.
According to the myth, Nidhogg bit off the roots of the World Tree and frantically sucked its sap. The World Tree lost its nutrients and gradually withered away.
Just as the World Tree was about to wither, a slash descended from the sky and struck Mo Li.
Mo Li looked up and saw that the person who came was his old rival, Ryuguin Seiya.
Do you think you can stop me?
"everything's ready!"
Ryuguuin Seiya remained expressionless, but they all knew this was the final battle.
A hero and a demon king cannot coexist.
