After digesting those secrets divulged to him by the Truth Goddess, Marvin quickly composed himself.
He knew that he didnât have to make a decision yet based on what the Truth Goddess told him.
After all, with his current level of strength, even though he knew the truth, he might not be able to affect the overall situation.
The Truth Goddess cared a great deal about Marvinâs future.
Everyone could see that if no one stopped Marvin, he would definitely grow into a force that couldnât be ignored.
The strange part was that although he had clearly been chosen by Lance, Marvin was actually quite close with the people chosen by Feinanâs Plane Will.
Those fascinating women had a deep friendship with Marvin, except for the Valkyrie, who first met him because of what happened regarding Dark Phoenixâs ascension.
And the first Plane Guardian, the Anzed Witch Queen Hathaway, had a deep connection with Marvin. The two were like sweethearts who hadnât brought it out.
As one of the involved parties, the feeling was complicated for Marvin. Even though he had the Wisdom ability, he didnât know what would happen in the future.
For this kind of thing that couldnât be controlled, Marvin wouldnât trouble himself too much over it.
He believed in the Truth Goddessâ judgement⌠but Marvin wouldnât immediately conclude that Lance was the traitor of this world, a super powerful villain.
He reasoned that there were probably still other things about that matter that he didnât know.
After all, Lance had given him hope with this rebirth, so Marvin wouldnât lightly judge whether he was right or wrong. He had to personally uncover the truth!
He had to become stronger!
The Black Dragon God had dispatched a Martyr to deal with Marvin, but the result was something outside everyoneâs expectations.
The Martyr had sacrificed himself in vain to create the Self-Immolation Fire, Black Dragon Wing was destroyed, and the Black Dragon God was greatly injured. As for the one who managed to steal the Ancient Nature Godâs power, Glynos, he had confidently entered the plane to try to kill Marvin, but the Truth Goddess suppressed his Divine Source, allowing Marvin to kill him!
The overall result was that Marvinâs Ruler of the Night class leveled up twice, and his False Divine Vessel grew in power once again. His strength increased by leaps and bounds.
The only pity was that he hadnât gotten to absorb the Shadow Princeâs Divine Source, or else he would have become even more powerful.
One more thing worth mentioning was that before he left her God Realm, the Truth Goddess gave him a huge gift.
That was Glynosâ Shadow Domain.
As one of the most powerful Ancient Gods, and enhanced by the effects of the Truth Scale, Molly had unfathomable Divine Power.
She had directly extracted the power from the Shadow Princeâs Shadow Godhood and gifted it to Marvin.
She already saw through Marvinâs advanced False Divine Vessel.
With this huge gift, the Shadow Domain in the False Divine Vessel got a large expansion.
Marvin swept a glance across his interface and saw that the description for his Shadow Domain in the advanced False Divine Vessel had changed:
[Domain 2: Shadow (Perfect) (Costs 30)]
[Perfect Domain variation property â Ruler of Shadows]
[Ruler of Shadows: You are the absolute ruler in the shadows. Attributes +100%. Enemy Attributes -20%.]
When Marvin saw that property, he opened his eyes wide.
That property was simply heaven-defying.
Because he had broken through the Godly Dexterity bottleneck, Marvinâs body had already started deviating from the normal Humansâ path with the help of the advanced False Divine Vessel, making it understandable for him to gain overpowering attributes.
But doubling his attributes⌠Wasnât that too frightening?
This meant that from now on, within the Shadow Plane and at night, he would be invincible against people at the same level as him. He could even win against opponents that were ordinarily much stronger than him!
If Marvin wasnât wrong, Glynos should have had that property in the past. But after he absorbed the Nature Power, the Shadow Plane rejected him, causing him to lose the bonuses of Ruler of Shadows.
Back when Marvin killed the Shadow Prince in the game, there had already been many Legend rogues who had gained the Shadow Domain and kept nibbling away at the absolute authority over the Shadow Domain. Because of that, Glynos had long since lost the Ruler of Shadows bonuses and thus was killed so easily.
This time in Black Dragon Wing, Marvin took huge risks, but gained a huge reward.
If not for that discussion in the Truth Goddessâ Realm, he would be feeling overjoyed by now.
But unfortunately, after finding out about that frightening conflict between Lance and the Plane Will, Marvin couldnât remain happy.
He and his friends fought for their own ideals, but they ended up becoming chess pieces in othersâ game?
Wasnât this rather ironic?
As Marvin thought of this, a glimmer appeared in his eyes. âEven a chess piece might not necessarily let someone unscrupulously control it.â
âIf this world is really a chessboard, Iâll simply charge forward on a rampage, ignoring the rules. Iâll rush out of the chessboard and personally see what kind of person is able to control what happens on the board!â
At that moment, Marvinâs mind was as firm as ever!
In a dark corner of the Underworld.
Marvin smiled at the grumbling Ding.
It was fine with Jessica, as she only expressed her dissatisfaction with Marvinâs risky behavior.
But she also knew that the situation at the time was critical. The Martyrâs Self-Immolation Fire wasnât something that could be easily extinguished.
If Marvin had made any major mistakes when handling things, he might have ended up disappearing in the fire.
After leaving the God Realm, Marvin heard Dingâs call. With her help, Marvin successfully returned to Feinan and reunited with Jessica.
This didnât differ that much from their original plan.
After Ding complained for a while, her expression suddenly changed into one of delight. âEh? Seems like you did something useful?â
âThe monsters surrounding Hope City already started scattering away.â
Marvin and Jessica looked at each other, and the former suddenly reacted with a jolt.
If the monsters surrounding Hope City had scattered, then there should only be one explanation.
That Ghost Mother had died. As for how she had died, she was probablyâŚ
In fact, the Crypt Monsterâs violent awakening and the Martyrâs explosion had created very frightening tremors, causing large sections nearby to collapse.

That collapse was mainly focused on the area west of the Great Vortex. A large hole even appeared in the Sage Desert, causing huge amounts of sand to flow into the Underdark.
The Ghost Mother controlling those Dark Specters should have been crushed to death at that time.
This was a bit unexpected, but it seemed to be the most likely hypothesis based on what Marvin knew.
In any case, the strain on Hope City had been alleviated, and the Dark Specters had suffered a huge blow to their fighting strength.
The next step was to eradicate the Dark Specters at the source!
