Chapter 883: The Superman
"God of Food!"
Noticing Lyon's hesitation and his glance back, as if contemplating an escape, the patrolling woman, confident in her control of the situation, couldn't help but speak up with a fierce gaze.
"Give up! There's no way you can escape now!"
As she spoke, she glanced down at the Lingering Mountain, which had been cracked by Lyon's attack, and continued with a resentful look, "The foundation of the Netherworld is something a short-lived human like you could never comprehend! Even other rulers of the Netherworld, once they enter my Lingering Mountain, cannot leave without my permission. They can only wander endlessly on the mountain.
The same goes for you. Once you entered the range of the Lingering Mountain, there's only a dead end for you! Additionally, as punishment for invading my territory and damaging the surrounding platform, once I capture your soul, I will make you understand..."
"Wait."
Lyon couldn't help but pause at her words, then withdrew his gaze from the first half of the Netherworld, where the White Bone Palace of the incarnated doe was located. He furrowed his brows and asked, "Are you saying that without your consent, I can't leave the foot of the Lingering Mountain?"
"Exactly!" The patrolling woman sneered, "And not only can you not leave, but without my permission, you can't even die! Many of your Purification Bureau's purifiers have made it this far, but most of them are still wandering within the Lingering Mountain, and you will join them!"
Wandering in the Lingering Mountain? Upon hearing her words, Lyon's brows furrowed even more.
"What do you mean?"
"I mean, how could I possibly let go of such excellent human souls like the purifiers? I wouldn't miss out on them," she explained.
After grabbing the doe's soul, the patrolling woman glanced at the Faceless One who was diligently 'purifying' the dead, then moved a little distance away and spoke with malicious intent, "This is the closest location to the Terminus Cliff in the Netherworld. All those who managed to traverse the long path of no return and reach the Lingering Mountain while maintaining their consciousness are the most 'elite' individuals among humans, and many of them are purifiers.
Since your Purification Bureau, led by the third-generation director, invaded the Netherworld and tried to force us to follow your rules, I've been intercepting these purifiers who reached the Lingering Mountain. I've been..."
"Alright, I get it," Lyon interrupted, raising his hand to cut her off. He wasn't provoked by her deliberate taunts but instead turned to face the patrolling woman holding the doe's soul and smiled at her.
I was planning to deal with that deer, but since you're so insistent on keeping me here, I'll make do with you.
Sizzle!!!
Seeing Lyon's carefree smile, the patrolling woman, who had just been eager to tear him apart, shuddered involuntarily, suddenly overcome by an ominous premonition.
Within a second, she understood the reason for her feeling... As Lyon's power weakened, he didn't rush to stop the black and white stones from absorbing the souls of the dead. Instead, he completely abandoned his defense, slowly raising his clenched fists above his head...
"You?!"
The patrolling woman, guessing Lyon's intentions, was so shocked that she hastily dropped the doe's soul and rushed forward to stop him, disregarding her own safety.
However, Lyon's two fist-sized hammers completely ignored her, striking her along with the mountain's peak and creating a shockingly large crater!
"Boom!"
In the shocked gazes of the three rulers of the Netherworld and the fearful stares of countless dead souls, nearly two seconds passed before the impact wave from the strike rapidly expanded.
The blast, mixed with countless sand and air, exploded in a circular pattern, blowing away numerous lingering figures on the Lingering Mountain. The mountain, several times larger than the City of Regret, instantly became shorter! The struck peak trembled, and countless indiscernible souls emerged, as if erupting from a volcano. Countless dead souls were thrown into the sky by Lyon's heavy impact, forming a bizarre mushroom cloud composed entirely of the dead.
"No!!!
I never expected Lyon to not run away, but instead, he seemed to have given up on living, using his remaining strength to fight me to the death.
The patrolling sorceress, having drawn the aggro, couldn't help but regret provoking this lunatic. She flew out from the 'volcano' that Lyon had created, her eyes wide with fury, intending to stop him from further destroying her territory.
However, what greeted her was a second strike, even more powerful than the first.
"Boom!!!"
Accompanied by a deafening, terrifying blow, the sorceress was flung down at an even faster speed. She crashed into the newly created volcano, and the massive Lingering Mountain was directly smashed, half of it collapsing!
"You! You deserve to die! You deserve it!"
Generally, the strength of the Netherworld Overlords increased the further back they were positioned. As the last location adjacent to the Terminus Cliff, the patrolling sorceress, who was in charge of Lingering Mountain, was undoubtedly a Pillar God-level powerhouse, ranking among the top three in the Netherworld.
She had just received the power of the flesh-receiving doe, and a single strike from Lyon was enough to kill her instantly. But with the empowerment from Lingering Mountain, she withstood two powerful blows from Lyon without dying, and like a vigorous tiger, she charged at him again.
Even though her entire body was covered in dangerous cracks like shattered porcelain, she glared with red eyes and raised her head, shouting at Lyon, whose arms were trembling from the recoil:
"God of Food!!! I will kill you! I will make you... you?!"
For some reason, Lyon, whose arms were covered in deep cracks like vast canyons, seemingly unable to continue causing destruction, took a few steps back. He then sprinted for three steps and leaped into the air.
In the near-desperate gaze of the sorceress, Lyon delivered a kick that could be called world-destroying. It hit the middle of Lingering Mountain, and this mountain, which had stood in the Netherworld for countless years, was split in two!
The upper half of the broken mountain, along with the lost souls within who had been bound there for who knows how many years, wandering helplessly, fell towards the Terminus Cliff. They were quickly swallowed by the vast cliff, which seemed like the end of the world, and completely vanished...
At the same time, a familiar, piercing noise rang in Lyon's ear.
"Zii!"
