T/N: previous Underworld -> Negative Energy Plane.
___________
In the endless darkness.
Marvinâs consciousness was sometimes fuzzy, sometimes clear.
He could feel his body being attacked by the curse.
His nebulous soul was drifting, apparently wanting to struggle free from the bindings of his physical body and leave this world.
âThis⌠Is it death?â
Marvin was unwilling.
Pain came like a flood as an even more powerful force tried to pull his soul away from his body!
It was a call from the Underworld!
Marvinâs body was truly on the brink of death.
His soul was gradually floating and rising into the empty air, looking at his body with reluctance.
âBa-dumb! Ba-dumb!â
Marvinâs clothes burst and a black dot was growing on his heart.
Gradually, an extremely thin line spread out.
The Black Death Curse!
âI wonât be able to beat this curse after allâŚâ
Marvinâs soul sighed inwardly.
Cold wrapped around him as his consciousness gradually became fuzzy.
But he was startled by a sound at that time.
âWoof!â
The Hellhound.
The eyes of Marvinâs soul were wide open as he saw the Hellhound looking at him anxiously.
He could see Marvin!
The Hellhound had the ability to see souls. He could sense that Marvin was dying.
Dying by this Death curse was a gradual process.
Marvin only felt light as a feather, but this feeling was extremely uncomfortable.
He grew very weary.
After transmigrating, he had always been busy. He had never rested properly.
Maybe it was time to rest.
He had already done so much in this world.
He deserved to rest.
His eyelids gradually closed, falling into a slumber.
But at that time, a mournful howl roused Marvin!
Following this howl, the Hellhoundâs scarlet eyes stared intensely at him!
Marvin felt as if his face had been doused with water.
He completely shook free from his muddleheaded state and felt alert again!
âHow could I die like this?â
âI still have many unfulfilled wishes.â
âI still have many things to protect.â
Marvinâs willpower gradually strengthened.
But as his soul was still floating around, a white shadow slid over.
That was the Underworldâs Grim Reaper!
Marvin didnât believe in any god. After his death, his soul would inevitably fall to the Underworld.
The Underworld was endlessly cold. Marvin had only gone there once in the past, after ascending to Godhood.
That kind of desolate feeling was something that others who hadnât experienced it were unable to imagine.
He didnât want to die!
The desire to survive suddenly surged, and Marvinâs misty soul became richer.
But that expressionless white shadow had already arrived in front of Marvin.
He threw an invisible soul shackle and tied Marvin up firmly.
Marvin couldnât speak as he was pulled by the shackles.
He went all-out, but couldnât resist.
âWhat can I do?â
âEven if my soul is powerful enough, if I go to the Underworld, it might be hard to avoid being enslaved by a Spirit Worldâs Sovereign.â
âI canât die!â
He fiercely resisted and the soul shackles surprisingly began to tremble.
At that moment, the Hellhound, who had devoured the Shadow Princeâs avatar, suddenly grew larger!
From a puppy, he reached the size of a person. Even if he was still a lot less impressive than his previous form, he had clearly recovered a lot of power!
He suddenly rushed toward the white shadow while barking furiously!
That white shadow froze.
âHellhound?â The white shadow mumbled, âHell and the Underworld have boundaries. This is a mortal soul, so it should be under the Underworldâs responsibility.â
âRoar!â
The Hellhound bared his fangs as an ominous glint appeared in his eyes.
In an instant, Marvinâs soul broke away from the shackles, and before Marvin could understand what was happening, his soul was swallowed whole by the Hellhound!
âŚ
On the cold floor, the white shadow was silent.
His aura gradually became frosty. âYou stupid Insignificant pup⌠you actually dare to challenge the Underworldâ prestige?â
ââI gave you a chance. Do you think I wonât drag you to the Underworld too?â
The next second, the soul shackles appeared in his hand once again!
But this time, the soul shackles became a lot more solid and locked onto the Hellhoundâs soul!
The souls of Hellâs lifeforms had never been harvested by the Underworld.
But the Underworld Sovereign never feared Archdevils. If that Hellhound was determined to fight over this soul, then he would obviously be disposed of.
The Hellhound felt a powerful pressure.
This was a soul attack.
The young Hellhoundâs soul wasnât powerful. He was a bit slow-witted after all.
But he only had one goal.
And that was to protect Marvinâs soul!
In this magical world, as long as the soul didnât expire, there would inevitably be a chance to reincarnate. But if it went down to the Underworld, who knew what end awaited Marvin.
âWoof! Woof! Woof!â
The Hellhound barked three times.
He used the most powerful soul attack he had mastered.
But the white shadow was motionless, as if he didnât even feel it.
âIdiot!â the white shadow sneered.
He then ruthlessly threw his soul shackles.
The target this time was the Hellhoundâs soul!
The cold shackles tried to pull on the Hellhoundâs soul. But a ray of light suddenly rose up and melted the shackles!
The Hellhound was completely oblivious.
The white shadow was shocked!
âDivine Source!â
âWhat kind of Hellhound is that, for it to have Divine Source?â
The white shadow was both startled and angry.
The Underworldâs Reaper couldnât stay in a material realm for too long. This was an iron rule. He had acted twice, and been defeated both times⌠this was simply humiliating!
It would have been fine if it had been a powerful existence.
But it was only a Hellhound!
It was an immature Hellhound with only one head, and from his appearance, he should have been born not too long ago!
âHow could there be such a strange Hellhound? What kind of fucking breed is that?â
The Grim Reaper had doubts. Few Hellhounds would appear in the material planes, and even if they did, they wouldnât be this baffling and wouldnât be so intimate with a mortal.
He had learnt something new today.
But he had no intention to stop.
He had sensed the fall of a powerful soul with great difficulty; if he didnât take it back, how could he be rewarded?
A huge scythe faintly appeared behind him.
The white shadowâs expression became extremely sinister. âSo what if he has Divine Source? It looks like he swallowed it ignorantly and doesnât know how to use it.â
âIâll deal with the rest after killing that dog.â
The white shadow slowly moved forward. The Hellhound slowly retreated.
He could feel the other sideâs terrifying killing aura.
But at that time, six identical silhouettes appeared around the Hellhound and the white shadow.

âI finally caught upâŚâ
âFuck! That kid already died?â The six silhouettes shockingly said.

T/N: another name change, hurray. As I already mentioned before, Hell, Abyss, Underworld, and Negative Energy Plane are basically too similar to be able to differentiate them without context. The most troublesome one is the âEvil Spirit Planeâ which was translated as Underworld previously since Underworld is a part of the spirit world. We are switching it to Negative Energy Plane now that the true Underworld appeared⌠(also fit the negative energy part.)
Anyway, hopefully it should be the last time we change those.
