If the six Jade Dragons still had their normal intelligence and power as they worked together, it might have caused them some trouble.
These six puppets, though… they simply couldn’t handle a single blow!
Although he was a bit low on Fate Power at the moment, after obtaining the Perfect Shadow Domain, Marvin could contend against Mid Gods!
The strength of these Jade Dragons was probably about the same level as the Shadow Dragons he could summon.
Feinan’s current strongest duo efficiently cleared out half of the Ice Jade Palace.
This also gave Marvin a more intuitive understanding of his strength.
If was already at such a level of strength, they might not need the help of that Legend Team. After all, the double level up and the transformation of his advanced False Divine Vessel in Black Dragon Wing made Marvin’s strength undergo a qualitative change. He just hadn’t fully adjusted to it yet.
“Still got a question?” Marvin asked in an odd tone as he walked to Kui, who looked like she was about to give up the ghost.
‘Why is that Dark Elf so pale?’ he wondered.
Kui forced a smile. “No, it’s okay.”
Marvin let out a noncommittal grunt and was about to suggest that they get on the move when suddenly, Kui found the courage to ask, “You two surface people, what is your goal in the end?”
This was still the question she was the most concerned about!
Such powerful figures… Surely beings of this level were exceedingly rare?
Marvin looked at Jessica and spread out his hands ambiguously.
He waved his hand and dismissed his disguise. “Since you care so much, then let me introduce myself.”
“I am Marvin.”

I am Marvin.
Not “My name is Marvin”.
There was a significant difference between the two answers.
When that sentence came out, Kui immediately fell silent.
She obviously knew who Marvin was.
In fact, as long as someone was paying some modicum of attention to Feinan, they would know of that famous name, Marvin.
The impressive feat of killing Dark Phoenix dozens of times to prevent her from ascending to Godhood was enough to shock anyone.
Not to mention all the other incredible things he did.
The name Marvin had already spread throughout Feinan and even beyond.
After the Great Elven King and the rest of the Plane Guardians left, the name Marvin represented the peak power of Feinan.
To everyone, there was only one Marvin in this world of any significance.
White River Valley’s Marvin.
Thus, Marvin answered in this way.
The Dark Elf understood.
No one would pretend to be Marvin at such a critical time, and furthermore, so convincingly.
The unreasonable fighting strength Marvin showed just now was in line with the rumors.
…
“I don’t understand. The Underdark has no relationship with White River Valley. Why did you come here?”
Kui finally managed to force this question out after remaining silent for a long time.
Although Marvin restrained his aura, the feat of killing four Jade Dragons so quickly was terrifying.
There was a formless pressure suppressing the Dark Elf.
Marvin shrugged. “The Dark Specters aren’t just enemies of the Underdark. They are the enemies of all of Feinan. I understand this point better than anyone else.”
Kui frowned, not knowing what to say.
Her mind wasn’t ready to trust surface dwellers. This was a deep-rooted feeling that had permeated the Underdark for over a millennium. It was very difficult to change.
But she couldn’t find any proper reason to doubt Marvin.
She too knew that the Dark Specters were the enemy of all life.
Kui didn’t feel the need to make any guesses about Jessica’s identity. Since she had come here with Marvin, she was definitely another incredible powerhouse.
‘Knowing that they are from the surface is enough.’
‘We might still need to be careful if they manage to kill the Final Ghost Mother.’
After thinking through all this, Kui said, “I won’t tell the others.”
“But you have to guarantee that you’ll work with us before the Final Ghost Mother dies.”
Marvin reassured her, “I never had any hostility toward you.”
Afterwards, he added with a smirk, “In fact, if I really wanted to kill you… how many people do you think would be able to survive an ambush from us?”
He didn’t say anything further as he went toward the end of the ravine with Jessica.
Kui stiffened.
After a long time, she recovered with a jolt and hurriedly chased after them.
…
A few shadows appeared at the end of the ravine.
Both groups arrived at the same time.
“You are quite fast.” Surprise showed in the eyes of the Fiendish Swordsman.
They had encountered four Jade Dragons, one of which was Jade Dragon King Aiken.
This meant that Marvin’s side had six Jade Dragons.
The fact that both groups reached the end of the ravines at the same time meant that Marvin and Jessica were very powerful.
Although Kui was with them, the Fiendish Swordsman knew that her combat strength wasn’t spectacular.
Marvin was also surprised.
He had been sure that his side would reach the copper gate first, but the Fiendish Swordsman’s group hadn’t been any slower than them.
Although the other group faced fewer Jade Dragons, they had to fight the Jade Dragon King!
Aiken had a much stronger body than the ordinary Jade Dragons. He had received the Night Monarch’s blessing, and when he was at his peak, his fighting abilities even made the Black Dragon King afraid!
Under these circumstances, their group still managed to deal with Dragon King Aiken… The only explanation was that the two groups had similar levels of strength.
Fiendish Swordsman…
A detailed scene suddenly appeared in Marvin’s mind.
The bundle on the Fiendish Swordsman’s back opened and then closed.
‘He used a sword.’
Jessica’s voice echoed in Marvin’s mind, “That guy is very troublesome. The one he signed a contract with should be a very ancient creature.”
Marvin inwardly agreed.
There was no doubt that the Fiendish Swordsman was immensely powerful.
Thus, as long as there was no in-fighting, they would have a much greater chance of success when fighting the Final Ghost Mother.
Both sides probed a bit for information, but after getting no results, they kept going forward.
Marvin walked at the forefront, and he could feel many gazes focused on him.
The most obvious ones were Kui and Freyr.
The former was probably due to shock after seeing Marvin’s strength. After the two groups merged, she didn’t say anything and just kept staring fixedly at Marvin, seeming to want to find out something about him.
As for the latter, who knew what he was thinking.
Despite being a Cleric of the Black Dragon God, he was actually having to work alongside Marvin!
That man had just destroyed the entire Black Dragon Wing Plane!
He also swallowed all the power from the Faith Pool in front of the Gods.
Although the rules of the God Realms didn’t govern a mortal like him, that action definitely greatly offended the Gods!
In normal circumstances, Freyr should have given his all to fight Marvin.
But he realized that this would be a flop on both fronts. Now only would he be helpless against Marvin in a fight, but attacking Marvin would also be detrimental to his current mission.
&nbs
p; The Black Dragon God had given him instructions to help the Underdark United Council put an end to the Final Ghost Mother and then use his influence to build a bigger church in the Underdark.
This was the assignment that he had to complete.
If he started a fight with Marvin, they likely wouldn’t be able to take care of the Final Ghost Mother.
At that time, there would be no need to mention preaching. The entire Underdark might turn into a barren wasteland.
The pitiful Freyr was constantly praying to the Black Dragon God, praying for God to give him an order.
He was just a Cleric, and he didn’t really know what to do.
But his prayers weren’t answered.
Because his God was caught in a bitter struggle.
Their enemy was a terrifying Astral Beast that still worried the Gods even after the Artifact left behind by Lance took away half of its vitality!
…
While Freyr was in chaos, the group reached the end of the Ice Jade Palace.
A copper gate now appeared in front of them.
The Fiendish Swordsman revealed the key he took from the neck of Jade Dragon King Aiken and silently walked over.
The copper gate seemed very plain, and the locking mechanism was also very simple.
He inserted the key and turned it half a circle before hearing a clunking sound.
The Fiendish Swordsman gently pushed the gate, and it slowly swung open.
However, from behind the gate, an unexpected person appeared.

“Caroline!?”
“How could you be here?”
When the door opened, several of the Legends from the Underdark let out shocked yelps.
Because standing behind the entrance was a black-clothed woman.
That woman looked very delicate and wore an unusual brooch on her chest.
Marvin recognized that style.
It was someone with some sort of relationship with the Queen of Spiders.
Those Legends clearly knew who that woman was.
She was working for the Underdark United Council.
It was no wonder that the members of the Legend Team were so shocked. It seemed to them that Caroline, as a member of the Underdark United Council, had no reason to be in this place!
The atmosphere felt rather delicate.
Caroline seemed to be relaxed, a smile brimming on her face. “You don’t need to be too surprised.”
“I’m not here to cause any harm. On the contrary, I’m here with good news.”
“Good news?” Distrust filled Kui’s face.
She looked past Caroline. Not far away, in the wide expanse of snow, terrifying Frost Spiders were coming out one after the other.
Every one of the powerhouses there could feel that these Frost Spiders weren’t ordinary creatures.
Their bodies had resonated with a strong aura of Divinity!
‘It’s actually the blood of the Queen of Spiders, that woman is a lunatic!’ Marvin inwardly complained.
He thought that the situation had settled, but now yet another variable popped out.
This Caroline was most likely an Apostle or a Divine Servant of the Queen of Spiders. Her appearing here surely wasn’t to personally help them deal with the Final Ghost Mother.
Since that was the case, Marvin had a certain guess…
Marvin looked to the side at the Fiendish Swordsman. The didn’t speak a word, but killing intent flashed in his eyes.
…
“Definitely good news!”
Caroline lightly stepped forward and gently said, “I know you are worried about the Dark Specter Clan. In fact, there is nothing wrong with being worried. The Dark Specters really are a very frightening race. They have a destructive ability that other races can’t compare to. But…”
“What if they became our allies?”
She was all smiles as she continued, “The Great Queen of Spiders has already reached an alliance agreement with the Final Ghost Mother, Morella.”
“Starting today, the Dark Specter clan will never infringe upon the area east of the Great Vortex. They will only take over the surface, as long as we help them break through Rocky Mountain.”
“Those formidable Dark Specters are our allies now. I actually just heard the news myself. The Queen of Spiders used a Divine Spell to let me know in order to avoid any misunderstandings that might cause trouble for our new alliance.”
“Looks like I made it on time.”
“As long as those in the Underdark are firm and faithful believers, the Dark Specters won’t harm them. How could this not be great news?”
Caroline spoke with steady assurance, especially to the Fiendish Swordsman. She knew that he was the leader of this Legend Team.
The Fiendish Swordsman furrowed his brows, not knowing what to think.
Caroline frowned at his hesitation and suddenly turned toward Freyr. “You? Could it be that the Black Dragon God didn’t tell you about it?”
“Hold on… How come there are more people in your team than before?”
Her attention shifted to Marvin and Jessica.
Freyr forced a smile. He was about to say something, when suddenly, an imposing voice echoed in his mind.
‘Alliance!’
He had been waiting for that voice for a very long time!
That was the Black Dragon God’s voice!
The meaning of the Black Dragon God was very clear. He and the Queen of Spiders really had settled an alliance with the Final Ghost Mother, Morella.
Was that the right thing to do? That wasn’t something a mere Cleric could decide.
The only thing he needed to do was to stand up and obey his God!
He then walked over and stood next to Caroline.
The others’ expressions became rather nasty.
The War Warrior, Tal, shouted, “Are you crazy?”
“Allying with the Dark Specters? How far will that madness go?”
Freyr shrugged and calmly said, “I’m different from you, I’m not that interested in the fate of the Underdark.”
“I only follow my faith.”
The others were left speechless.
Freyr pointed at Marvin and sneered, “Moreover, do you really think you can kill the Final Ghost Mother?”
“Especially when surface dwellers are mixed in with the team?”
Caroline’s eyes shone when she heard those words, a pondering expression on her face.
…
“What?!”
“Surface dwellers?”
If Caroline’s appearance had surprised everyone, and Freyr’s act had angered them, then the words “surface people” were enough to make them explode!
War Warrior Tal’s reaction was the fiercest.
He suddenly looked at Marvin.
No one expected a sharp voice to suddenly interject, “I know that they are from the surface, but they are our companions now.”
Dark Elf Kui.
Marvin was a bit surprised.
In this tense situation, she was actually the first to step forward to speak up for him and Jessica.
Weren’t Drows mortal enemies with surface dwellers? This was something known as common sense throughout the Underdark.
She glared coldly at Freyr as she chastised, “You follow your beliefs, I don’t care. But the Dark Specters have to die.”
“This isn’t just about the Underdark. The mere idea of choosing to ally with the Dark Specters is something unconscionable.”
“Even if you are now allied with the Dark Specters, you shouldn’t have the qualifications to order us to cease our mission.”
Caroline looked at Kui with interest. “But they are people from the surface,” she reiterated. “Do you feel at ease fighting alongside them?”
Kui raised an eyebrow, apparently ready with a retort, but that time, a steady voice cut in.
>
“I feel at ease.”
The Fiendish Swordsman gave Marvin a silent, contemplative glance before slowly adding, “Because I know that his true goal is only to kill the Final Ghost Mother.”
The others had pondering expressions upon hearing this.
The Fiendish Swordsman sounded so certain that the rest of the team involuntarily felt convinced by his confidence.
They knew that the Fiendish Swordsman had certain special abilities. If he said that Marvin wasn’t being two-faced, then it should definitely be the case.
It had to be known that the fame of the Fiendish Swordsman, the most powerful guardian of the Underdark, had already been spreading throughout the Underdark for a few hundred years.
He had always been an enigma, but one thing that the rumors agreed on was that he had never made an error in judgement before when he was sure about something.
Caroline’s complexion became grim. “You really want to make a move against us?”
The Fiendish Swordsman looked at her and the group of Frost Spiders behind her and slowly untied the cloth bundle behind his back.
“The Queen of Spiders represents not the will of the Underdark.”
“She made a poor decision… Allow me to rectify her mistake.”

“You dare go against the Queen of Spiders’ will?!”
Caroline’s face sank.
She naturally knew the strength of the Fiendish Swordsman, who had been moving unhindered through the Underdark for hundreds of years.
She originally thought that the name of the Queen of Spiders would be enough to suppress them, but contrary to her expectations, the Fiendish Swordsman refused to budge.
He would rather believe in these people from the surface and was unwilling to form an alliance with the Dark Specters.
It could clearly be seen how much the Underdark’s denizens had suffered from the invasion of the Dark Specters!
Perhaps in the eyes of the Queen of Spiders, the Black Dragon God, or the other Gods, the lives swallowed by the Dark Specters could be negotiated away.
But to those Legends who had always been living in the Underdark, those were real people!
They all had relatives who had died at the hands of the Dark Specters.
