Chapter 680: Overall Strengthening

Translator: Shiraishi Editor: TheAlliance

Just at the boundary of the temporary Molten Domain, Marvin's struggling ceased.

It looked like he had given up.

The Greater Reaper was approaching, trying to pull out Marvin's soul, but just at that time, the Molten Domain suddenly tore open.

A door miraculously appeared within that land of fire.

A brand new Hellgate!

Accompanied by the sound of a frightening roar, the door slowly opened, and three huge heads squeezed their way out!

Everyone in the surroundings suddenly showed expressions of horror.

Why would a Hellgate still appear in the Molten Domain?

But what came from behind this gate wasn't a frightening Hell Lord, but a Three-Headed Hellhound!

The Hellhound forced himself out, dashing through the gate of Hell, and before everyone's eyes, he rushed up and swallowed Marvin in one bite.

The Greater Reaper was alarmed, and it disappeared without a trace.

Hellhounds were vicious lifeforms with a sort of natural craving for souls. The Reaper was worried by the appearance of the Hellhound and decided that it was best to just flee.

After the Three-Headed Hellhound swallowed Marvin, he did a few laps around the Molten Domain.

He circled the Divine Source left behind by the avatar, drooling with obvious desire. But he didn't touch the Divine Source.

After about ten seconds, the Hellhound opened his mouth once more, spitting a shadow out!

Marvin stably landed on the floor.

The Hellhound's three heads nuzzled affectionately against Marvin's. Thankfully Marvin's body had been tempered by Hellfire, or else his body might have dissolved in the Hellhound's stomach!

The Curse Power had completely disappeared!

Marvin smiled.

"Sure enough, looking for you was the best choice."

"You are the only one besides Molly and Diross who left behind an Imprint and could appear in the Molten Domain. Little guy, what are your origins?"

Earlier, when Marvin was hesitating between the Truth Imprint and the Devil Imprint, he suddenly noticed a very weak imprint hidden between the two.

It was the mark of the Pet Contract he had signed with the Hellhound!

Marvin was shocked when he realized this.

When the Hellhound left, Marvin remembered cleanly removing the contract. Under such circumstances, how could there be still an Imprint there?

The only possibility was that the Imprint had been left behind by the Hellhound.

Speaking of which, Marvin had never clearly figured out the origins of this Hellhound.

There were too many low-level Hellhounds in the Nine Hells. Their bloodlines were very complicated, and there were countless sources and origins for them.

But the Hellhound that Marvin had once contracted with was extraordinarily good at recovering from injuries and consuming energy. Even when Marvin communicated with him every day, he could feel a kind of power whose source couldn't be suppressed.

This also was a reason that he had decided to remove the contract.

To keep such a Hellhound as a pet would feel wrong.

But Marvin never thought that he would feel the Imprint from that Pet Contract as he was struggling in the Laws of the Molten Domain!

This meant that the Hellhound's source of power was probably similar to that of a Hell Lord.

It should be the case that only those at the level of a Lord of Hell would be able to remove a Hell Lord's Curse.

Whether it was the Scorched Lord or the Truth Goddess, they both could accomplish it.

But Marvin didn't want to ask them.

Diross was too mysterious and fickle. Marvin still had some slight reservations about him, feeling like he couldn't completely trust him. As for the Goddess of Truth, he actually did trust her enough, but he had learnt from the Wisdom Chapter that the true "Destroyer" of Feinan was the Plane Will, and that Lance was the one who actually wanted to save this world. Thus, he also had some slight doubts about the Truth Goddess.

He temporarily didn't want to ask for help from these two.

Thus, he decided to give this Pet Contract Imprint a try.

The contract truly disappeared, but that Imprint was still there.

Under Marvin's call, a completely new Hellgate appeared in the Molten Domain.

Everything that happened afterwards left the onlookers feeling at a loss.

The Hellhound swallowed Marvin, digested the Curse Power afflicting him, and spat him out.

The death curse from the Molten Archdevil Avatar had been easily broken. Even Marvin had been surprised at how well that had gone.

He felt that this Hellhound before him definitely wasn't an ordinary Hellhound.

He definitely had the bloodline of some Hell Lord.

But the awkward thing was that Marvin wasn't able to speak Infernal, and the Hellhound wasn't able to understand Common. After the two dissolved the Pet Contract, they no longer were able to properly communicate with each other.

After the greeting, the Hellhound roared a few times, looked somewhat reluctantly at Marvin for a while, and then headed back through that massive Hellgate.

After a moment, the Hellgate closed again as Marvin looked at the Hellhound's receding figure while in deep thought.

He regained his focus shortly after, turning his gaze to look at the Divine Source left behind by the Molten Archdevil's avatar!

The black fire on his body became even more impatient.

The desire to absorb it couldn't be kept in check anymore. He suddenly stepped forward, reached out with his hand, and gently grabbed that flickering Divine Source!

...

In the Scorched Hell.

Molly still had a calm expression.

However, she was now looking at Diross with even more curiosity. "You know the origins of that Hellhound?"

"This is my Domain, after all," Diross answered while smiling gently.

The Truth Goddess had a thoughtful expression as she remarked, "You want to unify Hell."

"Every Hell Lord wants to do so," Diross calmly pointed out, "but they have neither the ability nor the courage."

"Anyways, you lost our bet, and thus, for the next hundred years, you can't interfere with the matters of Hell."

Molly raised her head and stated, "I will not interfere with the matters of Hell..."

"Apart from Marvin!"

Diross sneered, not saying anything.

...

The temporary Molten Domain kept shrinking.

Marvin had solved the problem of the Molten Archdevil's curse in such an outrageous way.

This was definitely a great boost to the morale of Feinan's side, but for the others, this wasn't good news.

They could feel that Marvin was continuously getting stronger!

That Divine Source was slowly merging with Marvin.

"He truly has a Hellish Bloodline. Seems like Diross' words were true."

"No wonder he is so strong!"

"He really isn't a pure-blooded Human."

...

Even though he was still in the Molten Domain, Marvin could hear the soft whispers coming from outside.

His body had been thoroughly cleansed of the curse, and his physical abilities went through an abnormal evolution!

After absorbing the Divine Source, Marvin's power received an overall strengthening!

First, the strengthening directly upgraded his six main attributes.

Under the burning of the black flame, Marvin's six attributes rose by 3 points each!

This was only the base value of the attributes. With the bonuses from Eternal Night and Ruler of Shadows, it would actually be raised by twice that, 6 points!

It was followed by the advancement of his Shapeshift Sorcerer class!

As a magical subclass, Shapeshift Sorcerer had always been different from his other classes. This time, after absorbing a portion of the Molten Spawn, Marvin's Shapeshift Sorcerer class reached 4th Rank, just one stage before the Legend realm!

And along with the advancement, he gained a completely new shape.

[Fire Ruler Shape]: When this shape is activated, flames will become your most loyal servants.

Using the Wisdom Ability, he judged that after activating Fire Ruler Shape, his Law Authority, at least in a flame domain, should be second only to the Fire Sovereign of the Four Elemental Sovereigns. Any form of flame wouldn't be able to harm him, and most fiery lifeforms, especially those from Hell, would have to listen to Marvin's orders.

At least compared to the Magic Addict Shape that he got for reaching the 3rd Rank, the Fire Ruler Shape was much more active and offense-oriented.

At the same time, Marvin's advanced False Divine Vessel also successfully merged with his Bloodline Power.

After Shadow, Slaughter, and Plant Metamorphosis, Flame became Marvin's 4th Domain, and although he didn't have Perfect control over all of them, it was quite rare enough to have this many.

This was all rounded off by Marvin's Legendary Class, Ruler of the Night, leveling up once again.

He had killed enough Divine Servants earlier to put him just in range of levelling up. After killing the Molten Archdevil Avatar and absorbing his Divine Source, he obtained a huge amount of Comprehension points.

Becoming a level 5 Ruler of the Night made him strong enough to enter the sight of all the powerhouses of the entire Universe.

Not to mention that Marvin had other means.

After obtaining Legend Skill Points for the fifth time, Marvin quickly decided to follow his previous leveling plan. He chose a completely new Legend skill, True Shadow.

[True Shadow]: Create an avatar that is exactly like you that lasts 30 minutes.

100% fighting strength!

Besides the equipment that couldn't be shared, an Avatar condensed using True Shadow was basically another Marvin!

This was a true avatar. It would be extremely useful in the future fights, able to do more than just act as a distraction, which his Doppelgangers tended to be used for. Despite the duration being rather short, it was already enough for an expert like Marvin.

After all, rogues have always been focused around being quick and efficient.

...

The Molten Domain completely disappeared.

Marvin slowly came out from its remnants.

His entire body felt as if he had been reborn. His skin was pure and clear, like a baby's.

His eyes shone with piercing power, seeming like he could see everything with just a glance.

"The previous deal is still valid."

Marvin looked across everyone as he indifferently continued, "Whoever tells me the whereabouts of that boy will get this Azure Stone."

Everyone looked at Marvin's hand.

A moment later, a graceful silhouette came out of a corner.

She was a very beautiful woman.

She appeared a bit confused, but she still came up to Marvin and told him, "I…"

"I might know where he is."
