Chapter 1462 Unrestrained Expansion
Will the afterlife itself be conscious?
The answer is yes.

Going back to the beginning of the world, in a world with nothing, the gods often hunted a huge monster as the material of the world.

The [World Tree] is made from the body of the Founding Titan, [Olympus] is made from the Earth Goddess Gaia, and the [Butterfly] is also made from the Smoke Mirror and the Feathered Serpent hunting a giant water monster.

In this way, it doesn't seem strange that a world born from a corpse has consciousness.

"Kul of the Underworld was born naturally at the bottom of the world when heaven and earth separated. He is not the god of death, but the place of death. However, he has always existed in the state of the afterlife and has never revealed his true face."

Ishtar raised her chin towards the will of the underworld, Kul.

"After his little trick was discovered, he took away Ereshkigal's body so easily. How decisive."

"..." Mingshi Kul opened his mouth and let out two gasps as if he didn't know how to speak. He pinched his throat and after adjusting twice, a hoarse voice came out.

"I didn't expect you to be aware of my existence. Even Ereshkigal, ah~ Is it because you are also someone who escaped from the underworld that you noticed it?"

"What do you mean?" Blaze asked Ishtar while staring at Hadeskul.

"Although strangers now come and go freely here as if it were their own home, there is actually a price to pay for leaving the underworld of Kur, and that is your loved ones." Ishtar waved her hand casually.

"The King of Gods among us was banished to the underworld because of some blasphemous things he did. In order to leave there, the King of Gods offered his own child as a sacrifice to the underworld Kul. That child was my father, the Moon God Nanna."

"And the moon goddess Nannar did something similar in order to leave the underworld. She sacrificed one of her children to Kul. That child was Ereshkigal, but she chose not to leave the underworld, and thus became the god of death."

"Can I ask you, who did you sacrifice when you left the underworld?"

"My brother arranged a husband for me." Ishtar shrugged. "Actually, many people volunteered, but I couldn't bear to let these people go to the underworld in my place, so I chose the only person who would hold a big banquet and eat and drink lavishly because of my death."

Blaze raised his eyebrows. Based on his shallow understanding of Ishtar, even if leaving the underworld didn't cost anything, she would send this cheap husband to the underworld without hesitation after seeing her arranged husband celebrating her death.

Now he understood why Ereshkigal was possessed by Kul of the Underworld without any resistance, because Ereshkigal was Kul of the Underworld after all.

"Let me guess. Ereshkigal's goal is to balance life and death and let the Underworld Kul occupy half of the world. And this guy intends to turn the entire world into a part of his body."

"if not?"

The Hades Kul slowly opened his mouth, revealing his pale teeth.

"It is God's instinct to expand oneself, assimilate power, and make oneself more omnipotent. I was once pressed under the earth, which was just a place of death, but now I appear above the earth and have the ability to grow."

"Then it is only natural that I desire to grow to occupy the entire world and become a true God that cannot be destroyed even if the world is turned upside down!" "Not surprising at all." Blaze sighed, what a simple and crude reason.

Although he could already think of the answer, he asked it out of courtesy and respect for the process.

"After you expand to the entire world, what will happen to the creatures on earth? You are the afterlife, and life cannot survive in you."

"What does it have to do with me!" The smile on Mingshi Kul's face was a little distorted, and his voice became sharp. "I have been pressed into the deepest part of the world since I was born. Has anyone ever cared about what I think?"

"Noise, ah - it's so noisy! The creatures are running freely on the earth, and I am stuck in the abyss."

"Once I have covered the entire world, you will only be allowed to survive in underground caves and mud!"

Kul of the Underworld raised his hands, and the entire Underworld began to shake. This was not the gray tree roots buried deep in the earth that Ereshkigal summoned, but the Underworld itself was shaking.

The black gold forest remained silent, but the vines transformed from the small Anti-Life Trees wrapped around it tightened the Anti-Life Trees, continuously extracting power from them, and began to expand the underworld without restraint and unscrupulously.

Under Ereshkigal's control, the underworld that had originally expanded evenly in circles began to grow wildly and irregularly.

It is like a drop of ink, which, after falling into the pure sea of ​​life, begins to spread, pollute, and occupy the sea of ​​life.

The teleportation tower of the human town exploded in an instant. Countless dark roots began to spread upward from the roots of the traditional tower, forming a dark tree, which then began to launch a crazy attack on the surroundings.

Not only humans, poultry, but also plants and even the earth have become objects of vitality absorption. The more populous the place, the more fierce and intense the attack will be.

The three main places, the Peace Olive Tree, the Golden Apple Tree Sea, and the Golden Tree Sea, were the worst hit areas. The Black Golden Tree Sea stopped attacking, but the vines wrapped around it were extremely difficult to deal with, and spread greedily in all directions.

"Ah~ This feeling is the feeling of vitality and growth!" Mingshi Kul raised his head, as if he was enjoying something.

But he didn't enjoy it for more than a few seconds, as Blaze appeared in front of him and kicked him away with a fierce whip kick, tearing the ground along the way, leaving only a pair of legs exposed when he stopped.

"It's much easier to deal with!" Blaze immediately left where he was standing, and countless tree roots gushed out from where he was originally standing.

"Of course. The one with invincible power in the underworld is Ereshkigal, the Goddess of Death, who is willing to stay in the underworld. She is responsible for balancing the infinite life on her own, so she has infinite power."

Ishtar squinted at Hadeskul, who was slowly crawling out of the pit with a ferocious expression, and laughed at him mercilessly.

"The incarnation of the underworld who has no restraint, is reckless, and only wants to grow wildly is just an ordinary LV500 monster. He can't even be considered a god."
