“In short, today will be interesting. I didn’t expect Feinan to still have such overbearing existences! Before the pass arrives, let’s see a few shows to spend the time.”
…
Voices rose up here and there, chatting endlessly.
But these didn’t influence Marvin’s thoughts.
When that swaying flame appeared, he noticed something.
He felt it before he felt Constantine!
That was a kind of Bloodline Pulsation!
‘Diross… What kind of gift did you prepare for me in the end?’
Marvin looked at the swaying black flame before him.
He felt his Bloodline pulsating.
That was a desire to devour!

Chapter 669: Major Events

The experts gathered at the First Mountain Range.
At this sensitive and wondrous point in time, some of the strongest representatives of the various forces in the Universe were gathered in one place.
But at this moment, all the limelight had been taken away.
Everyone’s sight had been drawn to Marvin and the avatar of the Molten Archdevil.
They were bound to become the main story of the day.
When Marvin said those words, everyone knew that the two would definitely not settle the matter peacefully today.
Marvin’s mind was more stable.
When the Molten Archdevil’s avatar appeared, the pulsation deep in his Bloodline wouldn’t stop.
He smiled bitterly to himself.
At the beginning, he thought that Diross only gave him a potion that would strengthen the purity of his Shapeshift Sorcerer bloodline.
Even Lavis’ Great Duke hadn’t been able to notice anything unusual about it after his appraisal.
But afterwards, his Hellish Bloodline had been aroused, and he shockingly found out that the potion actually contained power from the Molten Archdevil!
Marvin, who had undergone a primary awakening of the Molten Bloodline, had some abilities from the Molten Clan.
Upon realizing this, he had begun to doubt Diross’ intentions.
And when he met Saydis in Devil Town, the latter mentioned something very strange, which made Marvin feel suspicious.
He definitely had some things from Hell, and those things could only have come from Diross.
Everything stemmed from that potion.
And up till now, Marvin couldn’t find out what the essence of the potion was.
But now, he truly understood.
That was a true “Hellish Spawn”!
Normally, this power would always remain in hibernation, waiting until it met its fated enemy before awakening in the bloodline.
According to the description in the interface, Marvin was sure about one thing: Diross used some method to conceal the specific effect of the potion, even fooling Lavis’ Great Duke. In fact, that potion came from the 1st generation Molten Blood power.
It was the Divine Source of the original Ancient Angel getting corrupted!
That power would only be aroused when Marvin faced the Molten Archdevil.
And if awakened, Marvin would only have one choice if he wanted to survive…
Kill and devour the opponent.
This was the cruel method that the Molten Hell used to filter its successors. Marvin couldn’t go against it. He couldn’t retreat.
The Molten Archdevil’s avatar successfully made Marvin’s bloodline to completely activate. He felt as if thousands of Devils were bowing, but these Devils wouldn’t harm him. They would actually help him.
That power made Marvin very comfortable. He had the Book of Nalu and the Wisdom Chapter. It was enough to manage the Molten Hell’s forces.
The crucial question was whether he could kill the Molten Archdevil before him. And whether he could devour the Molten Bloodline present on the other party.
He felt troubled. Diross of the Scorched Hell, the true mastermind behind this… What was he thinking?
Marvin decided to put this question aside for the moment.
After the battle over the Sky Tower ended, if he was still alive, he would naturally look for Diross to clear this up.
Ever since Marvin arrived in Feinan, the two most unfathomable people to him were Lance and his grandfather Diross.
That man, who claimed to have swallowed the main soul of the Scorched Hell’s previous owner, always carried a certain confidence. That kind of confidence made Marvin feel unpleasant. It was as if he completely saw through him.
And in fact, this development was also controlled by Diross.
The potion that he gave Marvin finally showed another use.
Now that the Scorched Archdevil’s avatar met Marvin, he had to make a choice: Kill or be killed.
“Let me see what a Lord of Hell is made of!”
After single-handedly killing 63 powerhouses, Marvin’s confidence was sky-high as he tightened his grip on Sodom’s Blades.
Even if it was the avatar of a Lord of Hell, he would dare to fight him!
Not to mention, that person was a foe that he definitely had to kill anyways. From what Sean told him, the Molten Archdevil was behind the death of O’Brien.
This hatred had yet to be quenched!
…
The black flame slowly flared up, but the Hellfire that had been gradually wrapping around Constantine and Sophie had somehow disappeared.
Constantine looked at Marvin emotionally, but he was unable to say anything for a long time.
He had thought he would die, but Marvin’s sudden appearance pulled him back from the brink of death.
At the same time, he sighed with sorrow.
A few months ago, Marvin was the one that needed to be saved.
It was Constantine who had saved Marvin from the hands of the Azure Matriarch’s subordinate and then taught him some of his own skills.
And a few months later, as Marvin held Sodom’s Blades, using Endless Path to leap in front of the Molten Archdevil, he truly felt that this youth had transformed.
He no longer needed to hide his potential.
He could show his brilliance in front of the Universe.
Taking down a Lord of Hell with a mortal body, this would be a true proof of power!
“That youth is Marvin? The next appointed leader?”
Sophie was pale, but she was looking at Marvin with a bit of shock.
Constantine nodded, suddenly recalling something before muttering in a low voice, “We always believed in him. Although he wasn’t a very bright Leader, but he would never make a mistake about something like this, would he?”
He was naturally talking about O’Brien.
Sophie nodded, a tear silently trailing down her face.
…
Burning flames, slashing daggers.
After so many years, the powerhouses of Hell and mankind were fighting once again.
People looked forward to the development of the story.
But the next second, a shocking scene occurred:
The black flaming figure suddenly lowered its head, and with a woosh, disappeared.
Marvin and everyone else were stunned as they saw the Molten Archdevil’s avatar unexpectedly… flee?
At that instant, the surroundings of the First Mountain Range went into a shocked silence.
A Lord of Hell was actually scared of a mortal?!
“Was that an illusion?!”
“How could this be!”
Standing next to Eve, the son of the God of Dawn and Protection blurted in disbelief, “Has Hell degenerated to that point?”
Everyone else was equally surprised by this scene.
They had imagined the scene of Marvin being burnt to death by the Lord of Hell, but who could have guessed that something like this would happen!
A Lord of Hell!
One of the nine supreme leaders of the Nine Hells!
Under the threat
of a mortal… he escaped?
If this spread, not only would it be a major blow to the prestige of the Lords of Hell, but the might of the Nine Hells would likely be called into question!
What the hell happened?
Marvin was still stunned.
The Molten Archdevil’s escape was beyond his expectations, so he didn’t have time to stop him!
Before he even reacted, a piece of information was transmitted into his mind from above:
[Major Event: The Molten Hell has fallen into hostile hands. Two-thirds of the territory has been annexed by the Scorched Hell, and the Molten Archdevil is near death. And the one behind all of this is the Lord of the Scorched Hell, Diross.]
That voice came from the Truth Godrealm!

Chapter 670: Pass
Translator: Shiraishi Editor: TheAlliance
When the Molten Archdevil’s shadow disappeared from the outskirts of the First Mountain Range, Marvin had been baffled.
He had initially assumed that this was a tactic of the Molten Archdevil used to catch him off guard.
But when the voice of the Truth Goddess echoed in his mind, he understood.
All the pieces of the puzzle in Marvin’s mind assembled as he suddenly revealed a playful smile. ‘Surely my grandfather wouldn’t… right?’
‘Is he preparing to unify the Nine Hells?’
…
Compared with the Molten Archdevil fleeing from a fight, the big event that just took place in Hell spread even faster.
Ever since the Millennium War started, the Scorched Hell Archdevil didn’t make any big moves.
People even wondered if Diross had lost his power as a descendant of an Ancient Angel after suffering the loss from the Cridland Clan.
But in the time since the Great Calamity began, everything changed.
The Nine Hells faintly felt the killing intent permeating the air.
The Scorched Lord came back strong, re-organized the Scorched Hell’s power and swept away the gloomy situation of the Scorched Hell in the Nine Hells.
Even the quality and quantity of the Devils in the Scorched Hell had increased.
This point was clearly shown in the current Millennium War. The Scorched Hell’s Devils became stronger than they were in the past, and not only did they have the advantage in the battle against the Demons, but they still had a rare superiority in the skirmish against the other Hells.
The name Diross, which hadn’t been mentioned for such a long time, was once again resurging.
Many people thought like this. Just when you almost forgot about him, he somehow found a way to reappear in the forefront of everyone’s sight.
Such a huge crisis happening in Hell due to an internal invasion directly drew the attention of the entire Universe!
From what everyone was saying, along with the information he had in hand and the bit he gained after grouping up with Constantine’s group, he was certain of the reason that the Molten Archdevil didn’t fight.
Things first started when Marvin left for the Crimson Wasteland, where he found a Hell Familiar.
At that time, he warned the Migratory Bird Council to be careful of Hell’s invasion.
And that Familiar actually came from the Scorched Hell, from Diross.
After Marvin left, Diross sent capable subordinates to get in touch with the Migratory Bird Council.
Both sides apparently came to some sort of a mysterious agreement.
After that, the Scorched Hell faked attacking the Supreme Jungle while secretly withdrawing troops from the Millenium War. They were, in fact, consolidating their strength while waiting.
Because the Nine Fallen Angels had set up boundaries, the planar barriers between the Nine Hells were stronger than regular planar barriers.
Especially because of something like that, invasion between the different Hells was something rarely ever seen.
Devils paid attention to Order. Rules were something that couldn’t be infringed on.
But Diross actually cleverly shifted the attention this whole time while picking out the weakest force of the Nine Hells to attack – The Molten Clan!
The Molten Clan used up a lot of strength after fighting continuously with the Humans. At the same time, when the First Generation Molten Archdevil fell, his Molten Spawn was actually divided in three. One third was passed on as an inheritance, and two thirds disappeared in the Molten Hell.
This led to the strength of the Molten Archdevil not being as great as one might expect.
From what Marvin had heard, the death of the First Generation Molten Archdevil should have been due to Diross’ plot. Not the Diross that was Marvin’s grandfather, but the original Archdevil.
And that was because those two thirds of the remaining Molten Spawn had been in his hands.
One was given to Marvin and the other one was in Diross’ hands.
How could Diross and the Great Druids come to an agreement? Marvin didn’t know.
But what he understood was that because of the help of the Great Druids, the Scorched Devils who were originally pretending to siege the Supreme Forest had the opportunity to sneak attack the Molten Hell instead.
Especially when the Molten Clan was busy invading Feinan, tearing apart the defenses of mankind. After launching their attack on the Night Walkers’ northern headquarters, the Molten Hell was pretty empty.
Diross finally made a big move.
All the Scorched Devils that had been waiting in preparation finally flooded the Molten Hell.
It didn’t take long before the Molten Archdevil was left near death by Diross and forced to flee. The Molten Hell was now also under the control of the Scorched Hell!
Diross appeared in front of the Molten Devils and showed the Molten Spawn before taking it all over.
He became the new Molten Hell Lord.
At that instant, the forces of the Molten Hell still opposing him amounted to 7831 Devils!
Three seconds later, they were all killed.
The rest of the Molten Hell gave its allegiance to him.
The Molten Archdevil was escaping, so he obviously wouldn’t dare to expend any energy to fight Marvin!
Everything happened so suddenly that even the Truth Goddess was startled.
In the message she left Marvin, the Truth Goddess made it clear that she was leaving to check on Hell.
She seemed very concerned about Diross’ move breaking the millennium-long balance of the Nine Hells.
What made people even more bewildered by the move was that Diross, after just taking the position of Lord of the Molten Hell, used his own power to proclaim two things to the entire Universe:
1st – The Scorched Hell and the Molten Hell are one and the same! Diross is the Lord of the two Hells.
2nd – Marvin is Diross’ grandson.
…
Compared with the first piece of news, the second was slightly more tricky.
But after that indifferent voice announced that information, all those gazes on Marvin changed.
In the end, what was that guy’s background?
The Truth Goddess was apparently supporting him. The Scorched Lord was his grandfather. Wasn’t all this too much?
Even if the two might not be blood-related, for Diross to send this message when at his strongest gave a “go ahead and try making a move on Marvin” attitude, making even the most savage God Descendants feel like remaining well-behaved.
For some time, the surroundings of the First Mountain were quiet.
Everyone silently stood in place while contemplating the implications of these developments.
The Azure Matriarch clenched her teeth, but didn’t try anything.
Some confusion could be seen in Eve’s eyes, before hardening into resolution.
At her side, the son of the God of Dawn and Protection had a thoughtful expression on his face.
Everyone reacted differently.
As for Marvin, he was still smiling bitterly.
<
br /> That really was a crazy move that Diross made. In such troubled times, what was that guy thinking?
‘Is he trying to show his support for me in the fight over the Fate Tablet?’
But that would be a useless attempt.
In front of a Divinely powerful item like the Fate Tablet, everyone would risk their lives.
At that time, background, fame, any of these kinds of things would be useless!
…
But fortunately, Marvin still maintained a proper attitude.
Whatever Diross’ intention was, he would find out in the future.
The Nine Hells were certainly worthy of attention, but the most important matter right now was the Sky Tower.
After “saving” Constantine and Sophie, he found a place for them along with Isabelle.
As for Wayne, he simply couldn’t find the slightest trace of him anymore, so he could only give up for now.
Marvin believed that when the pass from the Sky Tower started appearing, Wayne would definitely appear.
At that time, there might not be anyone left that would dare to hinder Marvin!
But he would always be ready.
He held Sodom’s Blades in his hands as he circled around the Sky Tower with a casual attitude.
Whenever he approached someone, they would all feel an intense fear of the daggers in his hands.
They were all afraid of Marvin’s fighting strength and Sodom’s Blades.
A casual move from Marvin might be enough to cause others to yield.
Marvin didn’t know whether to laugh or cry about this.
Time flew by.
A day later, in the evening.
The sun set under a rare clear sky.
Even though it was still bright out, the people staring at the Sky Tower saw a blue light at the very top!
In the middle of that blue light was a stone with runes engraved upon it.
Everyone knew that it was the pass leading to the Sky Tower!

The instant that the Sky Tower first appeared, many people found some traces of the Wilds’ Shrine from ancient books of their respective forces.
The story of Lance and the Sky Tower slowly came to light.
