Chapter 801

"We've only been dead for a few years, and now the juniors in the Lower World are all this arrogant?"

Charudo was somewhat puzzled.

"Whether he actually has strength, or is just a brat who only knows how to make noise that disters people's sleep, we'll know if we test him."

Arfia's eyes remained closed as she spoke directly.

"You go first, or should I go first?"

"If I go first, the noise will inevitably be eliminated by me, so you go first."

The woman wearing a ceremonial dress stepped aside.

"You make it sound like I'd show mercy."

The man complained a sentence, then looked at Broly.

"Kid, are you ready?"

"Ready anytime."

The moment the words fell, the man over there moved like a rabbit escaping, pouncing toward this side like a fierce tiger preying on food.

Broly crossed his arms in front of his chest, merely swaying his body casually in place, and easily dodged the opponent's continuous swinging fists charging at him.

"Your fist technique is quite sharp, counts as not bad!"

While dodging, Broly still made commentary on the side.

"You this guy......"

Charudo stopped his swinging fists, switched to an axe kick, sweeping horizontally toward Broly's waist.

Broly lightly tapped his toes, this time unable to dodge the attack by casually swaying his body.

In an instant he retreated backward, pulling distance from Charudo.

A crack then extended along the ground, yet stopped just right before his landing point.

"Looks like this isn't noise disturbing sleep, but exciting music~"

Erebos looked at the battle situation over there and said to Arfia beside him.

The cold woman didn't respond, merely opening her eyes slightly to look at the two people over there.

"Priest, please forgive me for eating up all the gods' dinner, enjoy it, Tongue of Lustful Fire, devour, Scorching Fangs!"

Ria Xiancan Mi Jiu, Charudo's only magic, an attack-type fire element magic, was quickly cast by him.

A giant mouth of fangs composed of flames fiercely gnawed toward where Broly stood, in just one moment the ground seemed to have been melted away.

"Is it over?"

Charudo looked ahead at the huge gully eaten out by his own magic, and muttered a sentence to himself.

"Not yet."

However, the sound ringing out from behind answered his words.

Charudo fiercely lunged forward, at very fast speed completing the distance creation and turning back into a defensive attack posture.

Only, Broly didn't attack him, merely asked him: "Such a big reaction from you, could it be you didn't see clearly just now how I broke free from your attack and circled around behind you?"

Charudo: "......"

He really hadn't seen clearly.

Come to think of it, just what monster from which part of the Lower World is this?

Even if this person didn't attack him once, he could still make him feel like he was being played with in the palm of the opponent's hand.

"Your speed, I've already understood, very fast, but your power, I haven't experienced yet, come, let me feel your power, see if it can pierce my defense!"

Unwilling to lose face, Charudo assumed a guard stance and roared loudly at Broly over there.

"For real?"

Broly appeared before this person as if using teleportation magic, and asked him right by his ear.

【So fast......】

With no obstructions blocking the view, Charudo still couldn't see clearly how the opponent reached his front, this person subconsciously jumped back, crossing both hands in front to make a blocking motion.

Broly just watched him like that, waiting until the opponent finished his defensive posture, then raised his right hand, bent his index finger, and gave a gentle flick on the opponent's crossed arm armor.

"Bang~"

A terrifying explosive sound rang out, the fully armored Charudo became like a fired cannonball, directly smashing into the dead soul pile in the distance, clearing a broad avenue inside, then smashing onto a protruding gray-white giant rock.

The giant rock was smashed to pieces, directly collapsing down, burying the person inside, life and death......

Uh, they were originally dead souls, so it should be fine, they can't die again, right?

"Hey, you okay?"

Broly shouted toward that side.

A hand with bones sticking out pushed open the rock.

Gluttony Charudo, in an incomparably miserable battle-damaged posture, walked out with difficulty from the rock pile.

Broly was somewhat surprised, didn't expect the opponent could still stand up.

"Can still fight? Then we continue?"

Charudo: "......"

Silent for a while in place, then fell backward looking up.

"I admit defeat, switch people."

He raised his bloody hand and said.

This person admitted defeat, Broly also withdrew his gaze, turning his head to look at the two people on the cliff wall.

"Root of Blessing's Calamity, Hatred of Birth, devouring half-body as my original sin......"

And at this time, Arfia also took advantage of Charudo's intentional silence time to complete her long spell chant.

"Weep, Holy Bell Tower, Extinction, I convey this prayer!"

A gigantic magic bell appeared above Broly's head.

It began to sway, and the sound of the holy bell rang out.

But what tolled was a death knell that brings death.

Terrifying sonic magic crashed down from above to below, in merely the blink of an eye.

The originally clamoring tide of dead souls fell silent at this moment.

Only because they, along with the Underworld ground beneath their feet, were shaken into dust together by this single super-wide-area magic falling from the sky.

Charudo used his own wretched state to test out the power of this trial-taker Broly; Arfia naturally would not let the other's sacrifice go to waste, going all-out from the start, initiating the ultra-long incantation of a wide-area annihilation magic after activating the Talent Curse Price.

As for the power, if this move were to fall directly on Orario, roughly one and a half shots would probably be enough to wipe out the entire city at the center of the world.

In life she was Level 7, but her true strength approached Level 10, only dragged down by a frail, sickly body, therefore unable to go all-out.

But in the land of the Underworld after death, Arfia, no longer burdened by her body, was the genuine number one under the gods — or rather, the number one soul.

Her strength is undeniable, absolutely super-city-busting level, but her attack target is Broly, so...

"My attack has no effect?"

Against Charudo, Broly displayed his speed and insignificant power; against Arfia, Broly displayed his defense.

Amidst the terrifying Holy Bell Tower sonic magic attack, the ground beneath his feet was turned to dust, yet his spirit body stood immovable, as if he had suffered no attack at all.

His body drifted straight out of the Gospel's attack range, landing before Arfia; Broly then asked: "Do you also want to experience my power?"

Arfia: "..."

"This sound is very powerful; it seems your trial requires you, this god, to step in personally."

The woman yielded her position.

"My, didn't expect you, this child from the Lower World, to be actually this formidable. I still wanted to wait until you laboriously obtained Charudo and Arfia's recognition, then reluctantly recognize you myself, conveniently giving Hermes some face..."

Erebos scratched the back of his head with some headache; the situation before him now, however, exceeded his original expectations.

Originally thought this would be a difficult Dark Lord God trial, but the other party simply speedran it with terrifying strength.

"Then now, are you willing to help me find a soul?"

"Of course... not!"

"Eh?"

Meeting Broly's doubtful gaze, Erebos explained: "I am a god with principles. If you laboriously fought them and won, obtained my recognition, and agreed to help, that would be called Divine Grace. But now you directly speedran the two enforcers I prepared, making this Dark Lord God lose quite a bit of face."

"Uh, then let's go again, I'll act a little this time?"

Broly asked.

"No, what's there to act about, I'll personally come give you the trial."

Erebos waved his hand; he intends to personally increase the intensity.

"I am the Underworld God, the Dark Lord God of Absolute Evil. On this plot of land in the Underworld, my dark power is infinite. Next, I will let you witness the power of darkness..."

As he spoke, the originally gray-toned Underworld land was gradually enveloped by darkness; Erebos submerged into the darkness emerging all around, his figure seemingly completely fused with the environmental darkness.

"How about it, choosing to go back is still in time..."

A giant dark hand gripped Broly, just like a giant gripping a fragile small figurine.

Just as Erebos was laughing with malicious amusement, the small person he gripped in his endless darkness incarnation began to erupt with endless light.

Oh no, that's not light, but Qi; it's just that his dark power swallowed all other colors, setting off the other party to appear like light.

"Hmph!"

Broly let out a shout from his mouth and began Explosive Ki; the Qi surging out from his body directly pushed away the surrounding darkness.

The dark power attempted to block, but was directly crushed by terrifying numerical values; the darkness gradually receded, and the surroundings returned to the Underworld's original environment.

Erebos stood in the original place, as if the darkness enveloping the whole world just now was merely an illusion.

"I don't choose to go back; can we start the battle now?"

Broly, his spirit body inflated by one size, looked at the Dark Lord God and asked directly.

Erebos: "..."

What battle, it's already over okay.

He used divine power to incarnate as darkness, yet was forced back out by the other party using even more excessive power.

What's there to fight, if he can't enter the dark state, what difference is there between him and some hikikomori trash gods?

Really letting him fight in his current form, what a joke; although the Underworld is his hometown, he died, and needs to sleep okay...

"Cough cough, actually, we can still skip a few phases."

"Hm?"

"For example, whichever soul you want to find, I can help you find it right now."

"Then your principles?"

"Principles are meant to be broken; I'm not that kind of rigid, rule-abiding god."

"Then, can I find a few more?"

"Uh..."

"Can't I?"

"Haha, what are you saying, find however many you want."

Looking at the Saiyan's robust pectoral muscles and arms thick enough to run horses on, Erebos waved a hand and said magnanimously.

"Just, I don't guarantee I can definitely find them; after all, the Underworld is vast, and children's souls are also extremely numerous. Even as the Underworld's god, it's impossible to know where they all are."

"Then if the one I want to find is a child's soul that Lord Erebos you also once met, spoke with, and were acquainted with in the Lower World, that should be findable, right?"

"Uh, just asking, who exactly do you want to find?"

「Those former companions of Liu Li Ang in the Astraea Familia, and a friend of the Ganesha Familia, a girl named Adi Farma. 」

Erebos: 」……「

He knew these people's souls all too well.

Find, find a chicken's find.

Over the years he was sent back to the heavens and stayed in the land of the underworld, he had long since collected the souls of the lower world children he admired.

Of course, it wasn't that he had some strange fetish for poaching other gods' children; it was just that Erebos wanted the children he admired to find rest and better sleep on this small plot of land in the underworld where he resided.

「What's wrong, Lord Erebos, having trouble finding them? 」

Broly saw his expression was off and asked directly.

「Hah, joking, who do you think this true god is? 」

Erebos waved his hand, the dark void opened again, and more than ten soul light balls were squeezed out from within.

「Uh, this is? 」

「The souls you're looking for are all here: Ivory Poem, the innocent and radiant girl—Adi Farma, the Red Justice Flower, the idiot girl shining with the radiance of justice all over—Alicia Rophiel……」

Erebos pointed at the soul light balls on the ground, yet knew every one of them by heart; the reason he understood so well was no other than that those Justice Girls had left him an incredibly deep impression while opposing him, this dark forces leader who considered himself an absolutely evil villain god.

「Then how do I wake them up? 」

Broly asked directly.

「You don't know? 」

「Should I know? 」

「Then how did you wake up so many dead souls just now? 」

Erebos retorted.

Broly understood, and directly input his Qi into the soul light balls on the ground.

The soul light balls began to inflate one by one, and soon restored to their original postures from when they were alive.

The girls, slender and plump, of various races, were all there.

「I am……」

Alicia opened her eyes, and upon seeing Erebos beside her, she pointed at him and screamed.

「You bastard Evil God! 」

「The silent Arfia, how is that possible, didn't you already throw yourself into the Dungeon's flames and die? 」

The other girls of the Astraea Familia also looked at the white-haired, eyes-closed female with faces full of surprise.

「Shut up, noisy little girls, is there a possibility that I died, but you all died too? 」

「Eh?! 」

After a commotion, this group of Justice Girls finally recalled their experiences from when they were alive and confirmed that they had died.

「So, the world after death is actually like this? 」

The red-haired girl touched here and pinched there on her own spirit body.

「Although this place doesn't look great, but we can actually still keep our consciousness from when we were alive? 」

The black long-straight girl wearing a red kimono, Five Conditions Wild. Kaguya, expressed some amazement.

「No no no, it's not that you can keep your consciousness from when you were alive, but rather someone woke you who were sleeping and stimulated your consciousness from when you were alive. 」

Erebos hurriedly stepped out to explain, pointing at Broly and saying: 「And he is the one who woke your consciousness, and seems to want to resurrect you. 」

「Eh?! 」

The Undead Girls of the Astraea Familia curiously looked toward Broly.

「It's completely someone they don't know……」

Alicia scratched her head, still thinking that she had died and lost her memories of him.
