Chapter 689: Male and Female



Chapter 689: Male and Female

Translator: Shiraishi Editor: TheAlliance

Inextinguishable Wizard Flames were lighting the hall, and a sealing power shrouded the area.

It was that power which was restricting the monsters, forcing them to stay outside this area, unable to approach.

Marvin and Yin walked into the hall. When Marvin glanced back, he saw something unexpected.

The Azure Matriarch was behind them.

She was standing on the back of the spider, looking at Marvin indifferently.

It was as if she were looking at a dead person.

This expression made Marvin feel very uneasy. He very much wanted to turn back and get rid of that woman.

But reason told him that this wasn't a good idea.

Those monsters seemed to be on the same side as the Azure Matriarch, and the possibility of Yin becoming hostile was already enough to give Marvin a headache.

If he went to attack the Azure Matriarch, who knew whether or not Yin would just take the Fate Tablet and escape on his own?

Since it had come to this, Marvin could only follow Yin and continue onward!

...

They stepped into a spacious hall, and there were no longer any monsters staring at them from behind.

But the runes and the sealing power shrouding the place made them more cautious.

If they accidentally came into contact with the sealing power, who knew what could happen!

There was a fountain in the center of the hall, and in the middle of the fountain, there was a statue of a male and a female hugging each other.

But the fountain had already been abandoned for a very long time, and the water inside had long since dried up.

As for that statue in the center, it seemed to have many cracks.

Marvin looked at that statue and thought that it seemed to be a bit familiar.

From the perspective of Human esthetics, those two were definitely attractive and beautiful, perhaps even somewhat overly beautiful.

Their faces were filled with an aura of peace.

They looked like a pair of sweethearts in love as they embraced each other.

Who were those two? Why were they in the World Ending Twin Snakes' temple? What was the story behind it?

Marvin probingly asked Yin.

But the latter responded that he didn't know.

He hardly seemed concerned about the only structure in the area as he quickly made his way through to the hallway.

Marvin frowned. He felt that this fountain might be hiding something.

Yin's attitude seemed to support his conjecture.

But Marvin couldn't stop and waste time observing the statue.

Getting hold of the Fate Tablet was the most important thing for now.

...

Compared to the bright hall, the hallway beyond it was undoubtedly dark.

Every twenty steps or so, there was a small unending flame lighting the path.

Fortunately, Marvin had Darksight.

This hallway wasn't long, but the two were progressing rather slowly.

Because when Marvin stepped into the hallway, he felt a powerful resistance!

That resistance came from the sealing power that seemed to permeate so much of this temple.

The two glanced at each other and saw that they both had been surprised.

The resistance was getting stronger as they got closer to the seal.

At the same time, it also meant that they were getting closer to the things that they wanted to get.

A mere hundred steps through the hallway took them no less than 20 minutes!

This was something unimaginable for two people with such power.

But the resisting force that Marvin and Yin were slogging through made their progress extremely strenuous.

They even felt sweat dripping down their foreheads!

Another reason for going so slowly was that both sides of the hallway were filled with damaged murals.

The murals were eulogizing the World Ending Twin Snakes.

Marvin tried to study them to see if they held any secrets that might show how to handle the Twin Snakes, but he failed.

He only saw stories from the perspective of a Twin Snake Cult follower about how Lance sealed away the Twin Snakes as well as about the origin of the Ethereal Plane.

The contents were very simple.

The author of the murals must have been one of the earliest followers of the Twin Snakes Cult. He had been able to become a competent Priest of the Twin Snakes Cult.

Under the blessings of the powerful World Ending Twin Snakes, he had the ability to freely spread disease and panic.

The murals were depicting scenes from when he had been preaching.

Among these, there was no lack of bloody scenes like infants being swallowed alive and people being boiled.

The author of that mural saw those as normal punishments for heathens.

The message of the murals could be summed up to one thing: Anyone who didn't believe in the World Ending Twin Snakes should disappear.

Marvin had no words to say.

He looked at the image of the World Ending Twin Snakes in the murals.

That fanatical follower drew the World Ending Twin Snakes in an extremely lofty way.

A lot of times, mostly during his sermons, the World Ending Twin Snakes would appear and create miracles.

But even then, they were hiding behind golden clouds and only exposing their malevolent heads, showing their golden tongues.

He looked at another mural, where the World Ending Twin Snakes spat some mist, and then a rock beside a village of followers turned into gold.

When he saw this scene, Marvin almost wanted to burst out laughing.

It seemed that the dream of turning common things into gold was the same no matter the Universe.

...

After sweeping through the worthless murals, Marvin's mood didn't get any better.

He didn't gain any interesting information from looking through all of them.

The only thing that surprised him was that he saw the male and female from the fountain again in one of the murals.

Unfortunately, due to the mural being damaged, he didn't get many details from it.

'That couple should also have a significant story,' Marvin thought.

If the situation had been different, he probably would have looked into their origin.

But now, the Fate Tablet was ahead, so he didn't dare to lose focus.

They had already reached the end of the hallway, after all!

They were standing in front of a door that had no lock on it.

Marvin and Yin glanced at each other for a moment as they stood ready to enter.

"To be honest, I have no idea what is behind the door," Yin said in a heavy voice. "I suggest that you get ready to fight."

There was no need to remind Marvin of this as he had already silently taken out Sodom's Blades.

The World Ending Twin Snakes themselves might be behind this door. Who knew what kind of bitter fight would ensue then?!

Yin didn't tarry either, a slender sword appearing in his hands.

This sword's shape was different from Feinan's swords. It was much more slender, with a sharp tip... like a large needle.

From Yin's serious attitude, if this wasn't an Artifact, it should at least be a Legendary Weapon.

The two then simultaneously took a step forward and gave the door a push!

...

In the depths of the Astral Plane.

That frightening light, which seemed like it could destroy worlds, flashed across and hit that enormous creature.

The latter shook its body around, unwilling to succumb. But it still couldn't stop the effects of the light, and its whole body became rigid!

The Gods all let out a collective sigh of relief.

Some Gods were very pale, their Divine Power close to drying up completely!

"Finally over!"

Even a God like the God of Dawn and Protection also found it very strenuous to fight an entity able to destroy a Universe by itself, despite having the aid of Lance's Artifact.

He watched as the corpse of that Astral Beast floated upward in a strange way before it finally spread into Feinan's sky. He couldn't help frowning.

And at that time, his gaze unexpectedly fell into the Ethereal Plane.

"Eh? That shrewd and scheming Vampire is also inside?"
