Chapter 210: Netherfire Cage

"The Twisted Puppeteer Malgani takes pleasure in toying with the souls of others. He is capable of manipulating the souls of all kinds of living beings, turning them into his own puppets to be used for his own ends."

"Those puppets controlled by him not only lose their self-awareness but also erupt with power far exceeding their original state, becoming the most terrifying weapons in the hands of the Twisted Puppeteer."

Lucita's voice echoed continuously in Zhou Chu's mind, her tone revealing nothing but a sense of dread.

This Twisted Puppeteer is a master skilled in soul power; under normal circumstances, he does not actively show himself, mostly hiding behind the scenes as the black hand manipulating everything.

In the past, many powerful evil demons and calamity ghosts had been toyed with in the palm of his hand, reduced to his puppets, charging into battle for him to accomplish his ulterior motives.

And those who resisted him, without exception, met the end of having their souls scattered, with even their souls being completely crushed by him and vanishing from this world.

Even though the Vampire Queen is also one of the Ten Great Evil Gods of the Abyss, she still harbors dread toward this evil demon who toys with and manipulates souls.

Because she, too, had once personally experienced Malgani's soul manipulation; that feeling was simply worse than death, and it remains deeply etched in her memory to this day, impossible to ever forget.

This is also why the Evil God chose Malgani to be his deputy, while simultaneously having him serve as the Abyssal Prime Minister.

Although Malgani is not the leader of the Ten Great Evil Demons, he possesses absolute authority among the ten, almost second only to the Evil God himself.

He not only possesses the power to issue direct orders but also has the ability to control other evil demons and calamity ghosts.

Zhou Chu could clearly feel that after the Vampire Queen spoke about the situation regarding this Twisted Puppeteer, her soul was inadvertently trembling slightly.

From this, it is evident that this evil demon is absolutely a character not to be trifled with.

However, Zhou Chu's gaze then landed on the Nether Breath Amulet, and thoughts stirred in his mind.

Since this Malgani is a master skilled in soul power, then the effect of this amulet must be to immunize against soul attacks and manipulation.

A divine object personally refined by the Evil God must surely be intended to keep his subordinates in check.

It can be seen that although the Evil God values Malgani relatively highly and appointed him as the Prime Minister of the Abyss, he is full of suspicion toward him in his heart; therefore, the purpose of refining this amulet is actually to restrain Malgani's soul manipulation power.

Thus, Zhou Chu is not worried that he will be controlled by the other party, but rather feels impatient to meet this evil demon.

When Malgani had just extended his soul power into the Netherfire Canyon, he could not help but be stunned.

The Netherfire that had originally covered the mountains and plains had all been extinguished.

This left Malgani feeling both surprised and excited in his heart.

The Netherfire Canyon was once a forbidden zone in the Abyss; because of the existence of the Netherfire, it was impossible for anyone to approach it easily.

He had only heard that the Temple here enshrined two Divine Artifacts left behind by the Dark Goddess.

As long as one obtains these two Divine Artifacts, one can dominate this world.

But it is said that these two Divine Artifacts can only be used by the Evil God himself.

Malgani had actually always harbored curiosity about this so-called Divine Artifact and had long wanted to feast his eyes on it.

Taking advantage of the time before Lord Evil God has awakened, today is the perfect time to appreciate the splendor of the Divine Artifacts.

Therefore, upon seeing the Netherfire in the Netherfire Canyon disappear for no reason, Malgani felt secretly overjoyed, thinking this was a once-in-a-thousand-years opportunity; perhaps someone had helped him open the door to obtaining the Divine Artifacts.

But just as his soul power was about to reach the entrance of the Temple, the Netherfire reignited without warning.

The entrance to the Temple was once again blocked by the Netherfire, and Malgani's soul power was consequently blocked outside.

However, Malgani saw that at this moment, within the Netherfire, there seemed to be a human figure standing.

That figure looked thin and small, appearing to be a human.

His soul power took on the appearance of Malgani's face; he endured the burning of the Netherfire permeating the surroundings, his eyes full of surprise as he looked at that human in the Netherfire.

This human was actually not eroded by the Netherfire, standing in the Netherfire unscathed.

Among the small and humble humans, how could such a powerful existence exist?

One must know that this Netherfire is the power that Lord Evil God is most skilled at; anyone burned by the Netherfire, besides feeling a cold-like terror, would have their soul suffer the torture of extreme pain, eventually being completely devoured and having their soul scattered.

How could he not be eroded by the Netherfire!

This caused the shock in Malgani's heart to reach its peak.

He had never imagined that in this Abyss, besides the Evil God, there would actually be someone who could deal with the Netherfire so easily.

Could it be that the human before his eyes is a new face of Lord Evil God?

The awakening Evil God could become any creature, but the most likely is a human.

However, Malgani could clearly feel that that trace of the Evil God's divine sense had not yet merged with his remnant body; it absolutely could not be this human before him.

Then, how is it that this human before him is not affected by the Netherfire?

Moreover, Malgani did indeed perceive the existence of some divine sense on him; although that divine sense was weak, it was exceptionally unique, by no means any kind of power known in the Abyss.

The aura of Calamity, darkness, and purity were mixed together, making it impossible even for Malgani, a master skilled in soul power, to detect the other party's true identity.

Just as he was at a loss, that figure slowly walked out from the Netherfire, a faint smile hanging on his face, his eyes looking at him with intense heat.

Seeing those eyes, Malgani could not help but feel his skin crawl.

At this moment, in the other party's eyes, he did not look like a terrifying evil demon, but rather more like prey.

"You, are Malgani?"

Zhou Chu looked at the face transformed by the twisted soul before him and asked in a profound tone.

Malgani shuddered violently, a cold chill piercing straight into the depths of his soul, making him feel somewhat terrified.

Even though the current Malgani is also just a soul, it still made his true body hundreds of kilometers away feel this inexplicable fear.

However, he feigned composure, a flash of ruthlessness appearing in his eyes, and said: "You humble human, how dare you be so presumptuous before me, playing god and acting the ghost; once I catch you, I will definitely make you taste the flavor of having your soul controlled!"

Zhou Chu chuckled, his eyes full of disdain: "Just by you? I think you overestimate your own strength. Do you think your Puppetry can do anything to me?"

"Or is it... that you can escape the shackles of the Netherfire Cage!"

As he spoke, a cluster of green Netherfire danced joyfully on Zhou Chu's palm, the light reflecting off his smile, appearing exceptionally eerie.
