Gatekeeper of Myriad Worlds Chapter 159

In a matter of seconds.

Shen Ye landed in Thunder Fortress again.

At this time, the fortress had changed again.

Rubble was everywhere, and all kinds of trebuchets, siege towers, and battering rams on the outer field were burned down.

The fire in the city was fierce and spread everywhere.

In the sky.

Dozens of flying lizards were circling around the old man.

The orc powerhouses riding the flying lizards unleashed their full attacks, trying to kill the old man.

On the ground, with a battle flag stuck in his back, the Great Chieftain cut open his chest with a long knife, dipped the blade in blood, and drew a circular runic array on the ground.

“What is this for?”

Shen Ye, hiding behind a collapsed house, asked in confusion.

“The orc tribe’s legacy has indeed not been broken,” Big Skeleton said with emotion, “It is summoning the orc ancestral god’s body. It is very likely that it will use the ancestral god’s body as a magic spirit to defeat that broken divine body.”

“Manipulating…a god…” Shen Ye whispered.

“Gods are originally weapons of the world,” Big Skeleton said in a deep voice, “They started as magic spirits and eventually grew into gods, capable of unleashing unimaginable power in battle.”

“I only know that the fourth level of the Dharma Realm can summon magic spirits. What level of the Dharma Realm is this power that summons gods?” Shen Ye asked.

“The sixth level of the Dharma Realm,” Big Skeleton said.

Rumble—

The earth cracked open.

A towering body, like a mountain, rose from the ground, emitting plumes of white mist.

This body was about fifty to sixty meters high. From a distance, it looked like an extremely strong orc body.

But this body had already lost one arm, and only half of its head remained.

The Great Chieftain stood before the body, allowing it to open its mouth and swallow him.

The next moment.

The giant divine body raised its hand and unleashed a shield of light, blocking the rain of fire.

It radiated a powerful force field, causing all life in the entire Thunder Fortress to freeze in place, unable to move.

Shen Ye also couldn’t move.

—It was as if he had been completely subdued by some suppressive force, his body and soul held firmly in place, without even a chance to resist.

A faint light appeared, forming words:

“You are enveloped by the natural force field of a god. You are currently in a rigid state and cannot move.”

The orc divine body slowly turned its head and looked at Shen Ye.

Shen Ye’s heart skipped a beat.

He was discovered!

Despite being hundreds of meters away, and the other party resisting the rain of fire in mid-air, it still had the energy to observe its surroundings and immediately discovered him.

What kind of power was this!

A fiery meteorite suddenly fell from the sky, shattering the shield of light.

The old man was no longer a humanoid being.

In mid-air, it transformed into a faceless giant serpent, spitting out eight tentacles that constantly waved downwards.

Each wave brought a fiery meteorite crashing down to the earth.

“996…die!”

The giant serpent muttered indistinctly.

The orc divine body re-formed a light shield to block the fiery meteorites.

—It finally stopped observing Shen Ye and instead looked up at the sky, assuming a defensive posture.

The next moment.

“Don’t move, pretend – I have Mictetikasiwa’s bloodline on me, so I won’t be suppressed by the divine force field!”

Big Skeleton secretly transmitted a message.

Shen Ye suddenly found that he could move.

He was overjoyed and whispered:

“I’ve realized something.”

“What?”

“This level of battle… doesn’t seem like something we can participate in.” Shen Ye’s expression was solemn.

In the arena.

A deafening sound erupted from the orc divine body:

“Necromancer Singer, watch me kill your impostor!”

The orc divine body grabbed a battle-worn axe, as tall as itself, from the void, shook its body, and slammed into the sky.

“I’m afraid we’ll have to participate in this battle,” Big Skeleton said.

“Why?” Shen Ye asked.

“That broken divine body doesn’t have a clear consciousness and will soon be defeated.”

“The orc divine body will immediately absorb all the energy from that broken body and become stronger—”

“There will be no opponent for it on the entire continent.”

“We only have this one chance, while they are still fighting, to ambush it!”

Shen Ye gasped.

This was a divine war!

—Are they really going to go that big?

“I’m only at the first level of the Dharma Realm, but the opponent is at the sixth level of the Dharma Realm and has the body of a god as a weapon. How can I fight?” he asked.

“Do you remember that nightmare demon’s skin?” Big Skeleton asked.

“I remember, you put it away again after inheriting it—wait! Does it have another use?”

“…My mother… left a spell on it.”

“A spell?”

“Yes, no power needs to be paid, the spell has prepared everything—it helped me survive in hell—there’s only one chance, let’s use it now.” Big Skeleton’s voice trembled slightly.

“You’re willing? You know, we can escape right now.” Shen Ye said.

He looked down at the ground.

With just a thought—

A door would open in the ground, and he would fall in and return to the main world.

So why waste such precious power?

“Shen Ye.”

“What?”

“We cannot escape.”

“Huh?”

“We must not let the orcs succeed.”

Big Skeleton continued in a resolute tone, “Our world can never have 996, because that is not the direction life should truly pursue—this is my resolve as a necromancer.”

Shen Ye suddenly froze in place.

“What’s wrong?” Big Skeleton asked.

“Felen… if there’s ever a chance, I will definitely help you ascend to the throne of Evernight City.” Shen Ye sighed.

“Shall we go?” Big Skeleton asked.

“Let’s go!”

Shen Ye put away the golden scepter and instead took out a set of undead armor to wear.

At this moment, Big Skeleton quickly said:

“Gods release attacks based on the power of the professional.”

“When I activate the spell on the demonic skin, I need you to trigger its descent.”

“Why can’t you trigger its descent?” Shen Ye asked.

“Because I’m on the path of a god, and now I’m actually—”

It paused, then uttered the last two words:

“A magic spirit.”

As soon as the words fell, Shen Ye felt something and suddenly looked up.

In the sky.

The faceless giant serpent’s tentacles moved like afterimages.

Fiery meteorites rained down on the earth like machine gun fire. Each one had enough power to blow open the earth and cause a strong earthquake.

But the orc divine body blocked them with its light shield.

Not only that, but its entire body was bristling, and a vast starry void appeared behind it.

“No matter where you came from, impostor, your time is up.”

The Great Chieftain’s angry voice boomed from the divine body.

Holding a shield in one hand, it condensed another burning hand from magic, and suddenly reached into the starry expanse, pulling with all its might—

A long spear, constructed entirely of stars, was pulled out.

“Go, artifact that once pierced billions of stars, the legendary spear, Earth Watcher, slay that enemy for me.”

“Ahhhhhhh—”

In the Great Chieftain’s roar, the orc divine body forcefully hurled the long spear.

The sky instantly cracked open.

Everywhere the star spear passed, everything turned to nothingness.

In the corner of the battlefield.

Shen Ye, who had been observing, felt a shock in his heart.

A winner was about to be decided!

He could no longer wait, this was the best time to strike.

He took a deep breath and roared:

“Come!”

“Coming!” Big Skeleton said.

A demon skin quietly appeared before Shen Ye, followed by the Big Skeleton’s whisper:

“Mother of Dark Bones, King of Ghouls, defeated Lord of the Underworld, Mictetikasiwa.”

“My great mother.”

“For this world, for the undead race, for the ideal in your heart—”

“—Please, with this human beside me as your master, unleash your true divine power!”

A layer of imperceptible gray misty aura emanated from the demon skin, like dust, it vanished into the void and disappeared.

The next second.

The whole world suddenly fell silent.

In the sky.

The spear that pierced through everything was frozen in mid-air.

The faceless giant serpent had summoned a blazing fireball, its surface covered with various runes, and was gathering its final strength, preparing to clash head-on with the spear.

The orc divine body stood on the ground, maintaining its full throwing posture.

Time in the entire world seemed to have stopped.

In this deadly silence.

A slender, delicate, small skeleton emerged from mid-air, emitting a cold, ethereal female voice:

“I have waited in hell for a long time, but I didn’t expect the activation of this spell to be merely for an ambush.”

She wore a long black dress and a black top hat, the brim of which was adorned with a faint, burning circle of grayish-white flame.

This lady held a book with exquisite grace.

Around the book, faces kept appearing in the surrounding void.

Big Skeleton flew out of the ring, knelt respectfully on the ground, and said in a deep voice:

“There are no more gods in the world, only the orcs still possess divine bodies. They want to rule the entire land and enslave all living beings with ‘996’.”

“What is 996?”

“Working from 9 AM to 9 PM, with one hour or less break at noon and evening, totaling over 10 hours of work, and working 6 days a week.”

“So you are calling me for this world, Felen?”

“Yes.”

“Then what will you do when you go to hell?”

“Shen Ye will come with me.”

“Him? Let me see—The boy who survived great peril, the little matchstick boy, the one who dined and dashed—is it just for this ‘fame’?”

“He possesses a rare world-linking ability.”

“Oh… it seems your journey to hell has a glimmer of hope now.”

The Lord of the Underworld, Mictetikasiwa, gently descended, and with an extremely elegant posture, lightly stepped on Shen Ye’s shoulder with one foot.

“A young man at the first level of the Dharma Realm,” she gently adjusted the brim of her hat, which was burning with gray flames, “It’s still too early for you to try to control a god’s power, but I will cover all the costs this time.”

“—So, what is your profession in our nightmare world?”

Shen Ye was stunned.

Did it have to be a profession from the nightmare world?

Then—

“Respected Lord of the Underworld, I am a Singer.” Shen Ye said.

“A Singer… that’s quite surprising…”

The Lord of the Underworld, Mictetikasiwa, flipped through the black book, and after a while, stopped.

“There are thousands of ways for gods and professionals to cooperate, and you, as a Singer, are extremely special. I have decided to bestow this magic upon you.”

“Please use your artistic talent to manifest it.”

“—Remember, pressing the book’s cover will activate the attack.”

She closed the book and gently tossed it, letting it float before Shen Ye.
