Gatekeeper of Myriad Worlds Chapter 203

“Even the Great Skeleton hasn’t heard of it?”

Shen Ye pondered and said:

“So those heads are not natives of hell.”

“Then, we can call them the scourges of hell.”

A scourge is an external aggressor.

“The scourge of hell… I’ve never heard of such a thing,” the Great Skeleton murmured.

“When the general and the lord gathered at the border, I suspected they were preparing something. Now it seems it was a preparation to escape— I wonder if the general managed to escape,” Shen Ye recalled.

At this moment, he stood by the lake.

The lake water was like a calm mirror.

The vast land was also flat, like a dinner plate.

All those undead souls had been devoured.

Desolation and silence filled the surroundings, soundless, as if to drive one mad.

The Great Skeleton didn’t speak, but grabbed a ball of soul fire and put it into the alligator head.

“Resurrect,”

It commanded.

“Fight for you, my king,” the alligator head growled.

It was alive!

But it had no body, so its race changed from an aquatic creature to an undead!

—Only undead could control a body under such circumstances.

“Have you been living in this lake since you arrived in hell?” Shen Ye asked.

“No, I’ve traveled many places, I actually— oh no!”

The alligator head shrieked.

Before Shen Ye and the Great Skeleton could react, it had already spat out a ball of magical light, which spun in mid-air and flew towards itself.

“Run! That thing is coming again!”

The alligator head shouted.

Thump!

The magical light hit it.

It died.

Shen Ye and the Great Skeleton looked up at the sky together.

“Did it go to Purgatory again?” Shen Ye asked.

“Yes, it seems it thinks Purgatory is safer this time,” the Great Skeleton said.

“It ran so fast, it looks like it doesn’t have the guts to fight alongside us,” Shen Ye said.

“I won’t resurrect it next time,” the Great Skeleton shrugged.

Above the clouds, over their heads—

Dense clusters of heads emerged, each one staring intently at the two of them.

They were hungry.

They wanted to feed!

Without a sound.

Time seemed to stop at this moment.

A human head passed through the clouds, with a long pipe trailing behind its brain—

It swooped down towards the two of them!

“Only one? Is it looking down on us?” the Great Skeleton was a little displeased.

“Don’t think that way, their underestimation of us is actually our chance at survival.”

Shen Ye said.

He directly drew a bow, skillfully nocked an arrow, and aimed at the human head.

With a flick of his finger.

The arrow whizzed and shot away.

The head grinned grimly, not dodging at all, and met the arrow—

Snap.

The arrow broke.

The head was unharmed.

Shen Ye raised an eyebrow in surprise.

If all the heads were this tough, he would have to re-evaluate the difficulty of his trip to hell.

Behind him, a double-dragon coiled avatar quietly formed, exuding a mighty aura.

“Even the avatar is moving, are you going all out from the start?”

The Great Skeleton was startled.

Logically, facing such a completely unknown enemy, using long-range arrows to probe was a good choice.

But to directly activate the avatar and unleash a full-power professional skill in the first move—

Wasn’t that a bit too reckless?

After all, this attack would consume a lot of attribute points!

Just like when Shen Ye activated his avatar at the front lines, the Thunderclap Palm he unleashed directly sent a great knight flying.

“—While the other heads haven’t rushed down, it’s best to get a sense of their strength.”

Shen Ye said.

A thunderous roar echoed from the bowstring.

Swish swish swish swish swish—

Arrows rained down, instantly soaring across the sky, sealing off the human head’s multiple evasion routes.

The human head dodged back and forth, passing by arrows, and was finally caught by one.

“Hmph.”

The human head roared in anger, opening its mouth to bite the persistent arrow.

Shen Ye shouted, “Hit!”

A cold, icy eye appeared on top of his head, emitting a freezing ray that turned the human head into an ice ball.

Pupil technique: Demon-slaying Frost Line!

Now the human head could no longer dodge an inch.

Arrows filled the sky, drawing arc-shaped trajectories, turning back, and continuously shooting at the frost-frozen human head.

This was the skill description for “Sudden Rain”:

“—As long as it’s hit once, the battle is declared over.”

A dull thud sounded.

The human head, suspended in mid-air, was riddled with arrows like a pincushion.

Every time it was struck by an arrow, the magical eye above Shen Ye’s head would unleash a Demon-slaying Frost Line.

As a result, the human head had no chance to struggle.

The last arrow—

Splash!

The human head was blown apart, turning into a sky full of crimson frost.

“Good archery.”

The Great Skeleton praised.

Shen Ye didn’t speak, just stared at the human head and whispered:

“Something’s not right, look—”

The Great Skeleton looked up and saw that although the human head had exploded, the long tube behind it was completely intact.

“Not tubes… did you see clearly?”

“Yes, that is— is it tree roots?”

“It should be tree roots.”

As the two spoke, the root writhed, and a brand new head emerged from its end.

“Werewolf Glynn!”

Shen Ye exclaimed.

Yes.

That head was actually Werewolf Glynn!

So blowing up one head was completely meaningless, because it would grow new ones!

But fortunately, he had gone all out just now and blown up a head.

Otherwise, in future battles, if he thought he could rest easy after blowing up one head—

Then it would be over.

“Ah, so it’s the scout captain. Even I didn’t get away, how did you survive?”

Werewolf Glynn spoke.

Unlike the scene Shen Ye saw in his dharma eye—

At this moment, Werewolf Glynn’s expression was twisted and fierce, with a hysterical madness in his eyes.

He didn’t wait for Shen Ye’s answer and rushed directly at Shen Ye.

Shen Ye changed an arrow, stepped back, drew his bow, and shot!

Swish—

The arrow drew a beautiful arc of light in mid-air, shooting towards the center of Werewolf Glynn’s eyebrows.

Heavenly Archery, Light’s Arc!

“This is the archery the general taught you, and you’re using it to shoot me?”

Werewolf Glynn laughed loudly.

As the arrow approached, a look of struggle suddenly appeared in his eyes, and he tried his best to dodge to the left—

The arrow of light grazed his ear and hit the long root.

The root broke.

Werewolf Glynn’s head flew across the sky and fell onto the plain opposite the lake.

“Save me.”

Its voice echoed from afar.

Shen Ye had a mind to pick up the head, but the Great Skeleton screamed:

“Run!”

Heads poured down from the sky at an incredible speed.

Their target wasn’t Shen Ye, but that head!

Werewolf Glynn’s head!!!

Shen Ye gritted his teeth, rushed forward a few steps, and suddenly shouted:

“Slay a man in ten steps, travel a thousand miles without leaving a trace.”

Amidst the explosive rumbling, the ghostly flame motorcycle appeared and slowly began to move.

Shen Ye rushed out a few steps, jumped onto the motorcycle, and shouted:

“AI operate, full acceleration, to the highest point!”

“Received.”

A pleasant female voice responded.

The motorcycle went from slow to fast, turning into an afterimage, speeding like lightning, then suddenly rose from the ground and transformed into a small hovercraft.

Boom—

Layers of white light emanated from the streamlined small hovercraft, directly breaking the sound barrier.

Accelerate!

Accelerate again!!!

The sky was dense with heads, falling like a pall.

A streak of light, however, came from afar, traversed the plain, and landed with them, reaching the location of Werewolf Glynn’s head.

Several heads opened their mouths to bite Werewolf Glynn’s head.

Several lasers suddenly emerged from the hovercraft, pushing these heads back.

Taking advantage of this moment—

Bang!

A light sound.

The hovercraft vanished instantly.

Shen Ye continued to fly forward close to the ground, grabbing the head on the ground with one hand and pressing the other hand into thin air.

“Door! Door!”

He said.

A door opened.

Shen Ye flew in, and both he and the door vanished.

Countless heads crashed down, smashing a deep pit into the earth.

But Shen Ye was already gone.

Main world.

Park.

Hidden corner.

A man and a woman had just arrived here.

“Come on, brother will hold you and kiss you,” the man said with a playful smile.

“No, hateful, someone will see us,” the woman said coquettishly.

“Hahaha, there’s no one here!” the man said carelessly.

A door appeared.

Shen Ye flew out, clutching a wolf’s head.

“It’s nothing, it’s nothing, I won’t be back for a while, you two carry on!”

He waved at the two, an apologetic look on his face.

He flew a short distance forward, aided by inertia, then directly drilled into another door and disappeared.

“…” the man.

“…” the woman.

“Was that just now—” the man hesitated.

“A ghost!”

The woman shrieked and ran out to the bright area, scrambling and crawling.

Nightmare World.

Hell.

Chaos Bones Land.

Shen Ye had set up a coordinate here with “Star Shift.”

As the door opened.

He crashed straight in, skimming the ground, using the inertia of flight to continue surging forward until that force was exhausted.

—The land had become incredibly flat, which allowed him to avoid the risk of hitting any obstacles.

Shen Ye rolled several times on the ground and then stood up.

Werewolf Glynn’s head was still in his hand.

It was already lifeless.

“Hey! Glynn, it’s Zhongba, speak up,” Shen Ye said.

Dark Whispers activated.

The werewolf head trembled slightly.

“Go west…” the werewolf gritted its teeth with difficulty, seemingly restraining something with great willpower. “The general has escaped, go protect him quickly.”

Smack.

The head exploded.

Some invisible force burst it open!

“No, there’s something wrong with the fluctuations emanating from this head!”

The Great Skeleton said.

Shen Ye’s expression changed, and he suddenly looked up at the sky.

The sky had completely darkened.

Dense clusters of heads looked down at him from the firmament.

Boundless.

The entire sky was filled with human heads.

—There was no possibility of escape.

“Too many, completely unwinnable.”

The Great Skeleton groaned.

“Indeed, but I still want to see their strength, after all, if it’s a one-on-one, there’s no need to fear them,” Shen Ye said.

“They won’t fight you one-on-one. They just thought there were too few of us to eat, so they only sent one head to eat you and me,” the Great Skeleton said.

“Exactly, with so many heads, they really wouldn’t be able to snatch us if they tried to feast,” Shen Ye said.

As he spoke to the Great Skeleton, he rapidly analyzed the heads in the sky.

His archery was useless against so many heads.

He couldn’t shoot them all.

So what else could be used?

Frostbite?

Although Frostbite had advanced, it still couldn’t kick them all.

The sky was filled with heads, roaring down.

“Let’s go! Shen Ye, it’ll be too late if we don’t leave now!” the Great Skeleton said, suppressing its fear.

Shen Ye stared at the dark mass of human heads.

—What other attacking methods did he have?

Right.

Thunder—

Shen Ye raised his hands, silently activating the Thunderclap Palm technique.

Blue-white lightning glowed on his hands, emitting irregular electric flashes in all directions.

A deep and prolonged rumble of thunder continuously sounded.

At this moment.

Shen Ye was like a god controlling lightning.

Seeing this unusual phenomenon, the heads in the sky scattered with a rumble.

They revealed a wary expression, beginning to wander around in a guarded stance.

—Thunder dispels evil.

They feared lightning!
