Along with its plane coordinates!

The Crypt Monster felt some plane coordinates appearing in its mind. Although it didn’t know where those plane coordinates had come from, its instincts told it that the power that was trying to cause it harm had come from that plane!
It was enraged!
Self-Immolation Fire had effects comparable to the most frightening Divine Punishment. If not for the Crypt Monster’s great power and the protections that it gained from being a descendant of an Ancient Evil God, it might have already been burnt grievously.
Thus, prodded by the subtle but meticulous guidance of the Book of Nalu, the Crypt Monster struggled out of the frozen river while letting out thunderous roars!
The Self-Immolation Fire had burnt a huge hole in its skin.
The Crypt Monster’s powerful regenerative ability was contending against the destruction of the Self-Immolation Fire!
The wound was burning, recovering, burning, recovering, over and over again. The irritating feeling was driving the Crypt Monster into a frenzy.
It subconsciously brandished its claws.
And tore a slash in the fabric of space!
This would have been a far more difficult feat had the Universe Magic Pool still been intact.
But now, the Universe Magic Pool had already collapsed under the relentless attacks of the New Gods.
Without the Plane Barrier covering Feinan, the Crypt Monster was able to break out using its powerful innate gifts.
It bellowed as it tore the space apart. Then, its huge body slowly squeezed its way through that crack!
Some distance away in the darkness, still on the way to meet Ding, Jessica looked quite shaken!
She didn’t know where Marvin had gone, but the Fate Power Imprint let her know that Marvin was still alive!
‘The Crypt Monster suddenly disappeared from the Underdark, where did it disappear to?’
‘And where did Marvin go?’
‘No wonder he told me to look for Ding.’
‘Had he already figured out a plan when he said that? Was it his grasp of the Wisdom power from Lorie that revealed a path for him?’
Jessica sank into her thoughts. She stayed away from the collapsing areas and started cautiously looking for traces of Marvin while calmly waiting for Ding’s arrival.
Only she could find Marvin’s exact location upon getting close enough.
But Jessica had already formulated a guess.
Marvin had probably left along with the Crypt Monster.
…
Black Dragon Wing.
A majestic city rose up steeply from a vast plain.
On the countless towers, scaly people were guarding the city very carefully.
All the entry points and exits were stringently monitored.
This was a very rigid world.
The great God granted them happiness, so they had to repay him with Faith.
He taught them how to fill their stomachs and how to keep on living, but he also warned them that hierarchy could never be disregarded.
This city was the greatest embodiment of the spirit of the Black Dragon God Church.
The city consisted of concentric circles, and each circle represented a rank.
The further you went in toward the center, the higher the rank.
This was the capital of the Dragonborn Empire. Located in the very center was the Black Dragon God Temple, and the Imperial Palace was set up in the second circle.
Today was the day of the weekly compulsory prayer.
Everyone in the Imperial Capital, from the commoners to the ruler, had to participate in the prayer presided over by the Grand Pontiff.
They had to show their piety by praying earnestly. Only in that way would they attain happiness, obtain God’s blessing and forgiveness, obtain redemption after death!
In every corner of the city, people walked out of their houses to kneel on the ground.
No one could ignore the rules, and they obediently looked up at the most important tower.
That was the Grand Pontiff’s residence.
Each week, on this day, the Grand Pontiff would stand at the top of the tower, presiding over the capital’s prayer.
Even the imperial family could only kneel outside the Imperial Palace in the 2nd circle, carefully listening to his words and praying from the depths of their hearts. Otherwise, they would have to worry about being judged as heathens and getting marked for extermination! But as long as they were truly pious, all would be well.
…
The time arrived, and each believer lowered his or her head.
When the resplendent radiance shone proudly from atop the grandiose tower, they all genuflected and kissed the ground.
God’s spokesperson didn’t tolerate any blasphemy.
If they even glanced at his brilliance, their eyes would be burnt out of their sockets.
God’s dignity brooked no mistake.
Everyone bowed low and listened quietly to the prayer in rapt attention.
And even though they had heard those words countless times before, for some reason, every time they listened, they felt profoundly moved.
A kind of unadulterated and overwhelming happiness inundated them from deep within, making them treasure everything about their current lives.
Perhaps this was the power of absolute faith.
The prayers usually lasted fifteen minutes and not one second more, not one second less. The Pontiff was like a perfectly accurate clock that would always strike the tone at the exact moment.
But today was an unusual day.
Because after the prayer, the Grand Pontiff’s voice echoed into their ears. “Today, you followers of our great God will witness a judgement.”
“God has condemned a heathen to lie in the darkness forever. This is already his most forgiving punishment.”
“Our greatest believer travelled to a different plane and immolated his own body in order to show our sincerity to God!”
“All of you here are fortunate enough to have the chance to witness such a scene. Watch as that stupid and arrogant heathen burns in the great Martyr’s flames!”
“You are so fortunate, we are all so fortunate!”
“Open your eyes, let us see our hero, let us see that sinner!”
“Because in the imminent future, we shall launch an assault on that plane and purge it of all its filthy mortals, all of those foul and heinous sinners, make them burn in the flames of our righteous justice, all in the name of God! Believers! Steady your hearts, let your faith grow ever more heartfelt and sincere, let our almighty God feel our unshakeable faith that is far deeper than any ocean!”
As the Grand Pontiff concluded his rousing speech, the people couldn’t help but look up.
The Pontiff’s blinding radiance had dimmed, and an enormous, beautiful silk cloth was floating in the sky.
Intermittent scenes began to appear on it.
They saw a lone figure.
His body was covered with a black gown. It occasionally shifted, exposing the limbs… which were covered in silver scales!
This was the symbol of the great imperial family!
The Martyr had come from the imperial family!
All the people in the capital felt their excitement bubbling. Many of them knew who that was.
He was the man with the most power and potential in the entire imperial family; nay, in the entire realm! Many had predicted that he might be chosen by God to become a member of his God Realm.
But now, thanks to his sincere faith, he was given the unparallelled honor of being blessed with even more power from God and then travelling to another plane to carry out God’s irrefutable will. The immense amount of power infused into his body would cause it to burst apart within days due to not being able to contain it, but that mattered not, for his soul would b
e forever exalted 1 !
He journeyed alone through the darkness to judge an abhorrent sinner!
And they all knew that sinner’s name… Marvin!
“Kill him!”
“Destroy him!”
“Let him turn to ashes, let his soul suffer forever!”
The people began shouting energetically.
The Grand Pontiff looked around at the hordes of followers with great satisfaction. He could feel the Faith Power in the plane increasing.
Sometimes, showing judgement against sinners was more useful than just prayers.
He also looked up at the scene in the sky with a smile.
He watched as their hero successfully ignited the Self-Immolation Fire.
‘Definitely dead,’ the Grand Pontiff thought to himself.
He knew how frightening those flames were. Even Low Gods couldn’t resist them.
Suddenly, the scene on the silk cloth disappeared.
He frowned, subconsciously looking down at those below him.
But he didn’t expect that everyone would be looking right back at him, completely dumbstruck.

An intense feeling of uneasiness rose up in the Grand Pontiff’s chest.
He quickly turned and saw a frightening rift slowly opening up in the sky above him.
“Priest Regiment,” he bellowed, “enemy invasion!”
In an instant, a beautiful silver circle surrounded the entire capital.
The people kneeling on the ground looked at that fissure in utmost horror.
Wasn’t it supposed to be a judgement for the sinner?
How could it suddenly get interrupted?
And why did that huge crack feel so scary?
They couldn’t get rid of the questions nagging at their hearts, and their instincts urged them to escape.
But they had been indoctrinated by the Black Dragon Church for a long time, so they couldn’t just leave without being dismissed from the prayer by the Pontiff.
They could only keep kneeling as they watched the Priest Regiment and the other soldiers following the Pontiff to battle.
‘We will definitely win.’
‘This great land belongs to our God!’
‘Regardless of what enemy there is, if it wants to infringe upon God’s land, it will be repelled and will suffer a disastrous defeat!’
The followers were mumbling and thinking to themselves, but their eyes were still focused on that jagged fissure zig-zagging across the sky.
…
The crack was expanding continuously.
A shadow silently began to materialize out of the darkness.
The followers all watched closely, not wanting to miss a single detail.
As the man came out of the darkness, they realized that his appearance was familiar to them and they all cursed:
“It’s the sinner!”
“It’s the heretic!”
“It’s that bastard, Marvin!”
Fright and doubt began to spread throughout the entire capital as everyone gradually came to a realization.
‘The Martyr from the imperial family wasn’t able to kill him?’
‘What’s happening?’
‘Shouldn’t he be burning in our hero’s flames?’
‘How could he even find and get to this plane?’
Doubts arose in their hearts. Their faith wasn’t easily swayed, but as they looked at Marvin in the sky above them, their eyes were filled with fear.
It was especially so for the Pontiff.
He knew the power of Self-Immolation Fire more than anyone else here.
‘Marvin was just a Legend, so how could he escape the judgement of the Self-Immolation Fire?’
‘Moreover, for him to dare to step foot in Black Dragon Wing, this is utterly suicidal!’
‘Even if he is powerful, he is still a mortal!’
‘He was able to escape the Self-Immolation Fire, but is he able to escape the entire Divine Power Army?’
As he reassured himself with these thoughts, the Pontiff’s confidence swelled.
He pointed dispassionately at Marvin as he admonished, “It must have been quite fortuitous for you, having some trick that even let you elude the Divine Fire’s judgement.”
“But you are also very foolish! After barely managing to scamper away, you ought to have found some corner to hide, like the loathsome rat that you are! You shouldn’t have hurried to your doom in God’s territory like an outright imbecile!”
“I am quite taken aback that you didn’t die to the Divine Fire, but unfortunately for you, you’ll just die here instead!”
The Grand Pontiff then regally ordered, “Priest Regiment, at attention!”
“Divine Punishment! End that vile heretic!”
Marvin still had a calm expression the whole time while listening to the Pontiff’s pompous preaching.
A sneer even appeared at the corner of his mouth.
He finally came all the way out of the fissure and appeared in front of everyone.
The entire population of Black Dragon Wing glared at him resentfully.
“It’s truly a heretic! There aren’t any scales on his body!”
“It’s a lowly Human! Turns out this scum is a slave.”
“Such a menial creature actually dared to offend God! Kill him!”
The Imperial Capital once again flew into an uproar.
Following the outburst of those loud voices, those silvery gleams turned into flowing onyx flames.
Blossoming flames burst from the surrounding towers and condensed above the most important tower!
“Bang!”
The frightening Divine Punishment directly blasted the unruly Human that was hovering in the sky.
“Boom!”
Marvin’s body shattered into pieces, and tiny shreds of charred paper gently fluttered down from the sky.
A hint of doubt appeared on the Pontiff’s face.
The Divine Punishment kept on going as it tore its way through the sky, shooting into the jet-black rift.
“ROOOOAAAARRRRR!”
As this primordial howl erupted out, the sky seemed to cave in.
The crack in the sky suddenly became a lot bigger.
A giant, frightening claw peeked out from inside!
That pitch-black claw was strangely jagged!
“Boom!”
The Divine Judgment exploded against that claw.
The Pontiff paled in consternation.
He didn’t even have time to give out an order when the owner of the claw suddenly went ballistic!
That behemoth from Feinan could now confirm that the flames that had attacked it earlier had truly originated from this plane.
The Divine Punishment that struck its claw just a moment ago had the same quality as the Divine Fire that was still burning at it even now!
Thus, that huge claw pushed its way further out as everyone watched in shock!
A strange force field surrounded the imperial Capital and all the Clerics instantly lost their ability to cast spells.
The poor Pontiff was unceremoniously turned into mincemeat by the claw!
The formerly magnificent tower in the center of the Imperial Capital also loudly collapsed, causing the ground beneath them to shake!
…
“What is that?”
Everyone was staring numbly at the monster as it slowly forced its way out of the fissure in the sky.
They had never seen such a huge creature before, such a horrifying monster!
It had four limbs with sharp claws at the end, a body as long as a snake, and was covered with countless eyes!
“Rumble!”
As everyone suddenly broke out of their stupor and began to panic, the frenzied monster landed. Just from that, its huge body collapsed half of the imperial capital.
The silver light sha
ttered, and who knew how many Clerics were crushed to death right then?
All the inhabitants of that world were swept with hysteria.
They felt the unstoppable aura of destruction.
That monster came to destroy this world.
“Flee!” No one knew who shouted that word.
But everyone started running away.
The order that had been carefully maintained by the Black Dragon God Church had been barbarously broken!
But none of them were able to escape!
The next moment, the eyes on the sides of the Crypt Monster opened!
Fiery, icy, acidic, petrifying, disintegrating, even just pure death… All kinds of frightening rays beamed out indiscriminately.
Whether people or things, nothing could resist that shower of rays!
Even Legends wouldn’t be able to withstand the blast from all those rays!
Moreover, it had an enormous body.
A casual twist, a simple move, and an imposing building would collapse!
The entire Imperial Capital fell into panic like it was the end of the world.
And that scene fell into the eyes of one of the Gods who had just helped shatter the Universe Magic Pool, the Black Dragon God.
“How?”
“How could he survive? How could he control the Crypt Monster’s movements?”
The Black Dragon God was extremely shocked. This was unbelievably vexing.
He was hiding right now, preparing to fight the Astral Beast. He couldn’t move!
Did he have to watch helplessly as Marvin destroyed his Secondary Plane?

The Black Dragon God never thought that things would reach this point!
He merely glanced away for a bit and his plane got invaded!
The worst part was that in order to deal with the invasion of the Astral Beast, the Gods were all waiting in formation.
Marvin made his move at the perfect time since the Black Dragon God couldn’t save his own plane.
‘How come he is so lucky?’
The Black Dragon God was angry and shocked.
At the same time, he felt quite worried.
He only had two such Secondary Planes.
Although Black Dragon Wing wasn’t that big, it was a plane that was smoothly operating. He established the Dragonborn Empire there, nurturing countless Dragonborn believers!
