Lords go left, Emperors go right

"Lord Osta, this tower is one of the relics of prehistoric civilization. In ancient times, it was also used to seal those evil spirits that could not be dealt with. After being controlled by the fake King of the Underworld, it was used as a cage to imprison the souls of the dead without authorization."

"Lord Aosta, now the inside of the tower has been completely purified by Sophia, which can be regarded as a satisfactory solution to the ancient legacy problem."

"Lord Osta, there is no treasure hidden here anyway, so you don't need to feel bad."

Osta still wanted to pretend to be noble and hide the regret in his heart. However, people who knew the gentleman prince well, Chris and other special accompanying combat maids around Osta, smiled and easily removed Osta's disguise.

Osta could only cough a few times to cover up his guilty conscience. This gentleman lord did have the idea of ​​seeking wealth, and the noble mission of saving the world had nothing to do with him. As one of the traversers, Osta himself did not have any lofty ideals. At present, he just wanted to wait for a lord who was free and easy.

Saving the world is something you can think about, but it is too difficult to actually do it. It is hard to say whether the tragedy of the civil war that happened to the predecessors of the time travelers in the prehistoric civilization period will happen again. Osta is not sure whether there are other time travelers who have survived to this day. Many of his actions have maintained the necessary restraint and low profile.

"Lord Osta, if you want to save the world, we will support you. Becoming a brave man who saves the world is also a good choice."

"Yulia, I just want to be a lord and enjoy life quietly. This kind of joke is not okay. Don't make it next time."

"Lord Osta, I was just saying it casually, you don't have to take it seriously."

"Lord Osta, we will respect your choice and assist you, and fulfill the duties of a head maid with peace of mind."

Yulia suddenly asked Osta if he had any idea of ​​becoming a hero, and Osta denied this possibility without hesitation. Regardless of whether Yulia was really joking or not, her own attributes were obviously inclined to the dark camp. Yulia's question was too tentative.

If Sophia, the one with the attribute of the light camp, had asked this question, Osta might have hesitated, but Yulia didn't need to think about it, she could just refuse it outright. After Yulia got the answer, a trace of satisfaction flashed in her pure black eyes. This answer was indeed the most correct answer, which was consistent with the answer she wanted.

If a certain gentleman prince really wants to be a hero who saves the world, then their fate may come to an end. This special observation activity can only end here.

Sophia and Chris's purpose was actually the same as Yulia's, they all stayed by a certain traveler's side to observe. They were not secretly observing to avoid the farce of the prehistoric civilization period from happening again. The three of them might have come out of their interest in the traveler and just happened to choose the gentleman lord.

Now it seems that Sophia is fine, but Chris may be in love. As an observer, she may get herself involved. While Osta was chatting with Yulia and Chris, Kloita's last moment came.

As the ancient evil spirits, evil spirits, and vengeful spirits sealed in the tower were purified by the holy light, the more than 900-meter-high Pluto Tower finally collapsed because it could not withstand the baptism of the holy light. The Pluto Tower seemed to be dissolved by the holy light, and the entire collapse process was more like disintegration, turning into ashes and dust and disappearing.

Aosta and his team had left the Kloy Tower long ago and were not hit by the collapse. After a puff of smoke and dust, the once tall and majestic Kloy Tower could no longer be seen in the huge glass column and the circular sacred light curtain. Only the thick ashes on the ground remained, silently proving that the Pluto Tower once existed.

After the destruction of the Kroy Tower, the normal souls imprisoned in the Pluto Tower were basically liberated and could go to the reincarnation tunnel to be reborn. Osta also rescued the more than 60,000 female believers of the Pluto Society and the souls behind more than 40,000 sacrifices, all of which were collected in the soul-burning lamp.

According to the original plan, Osta could now return to the Hades Club and hand over the follow-up matters to the Styx Witch Melissa. However, considering that the Styx Witch Melissa was the apparent manager of the Hades Club, she was suspected of being a snitch. She might have secretly contacted the fake King of the Underworld in advance and revealed the content of Osta's action to him in advance.

Thinking of this, Osta temporarily changed his original plan and decided not to return to the Hades Club for the time being, but to chase the fake Hades King and go to its palace to eradicate the roots. After finding direct evidence of the conspiracy between the fake Hades King and the Styx Witch Melissa, Osta returned to the Hades Club to confront and showdown with the Styx Witch Melissa.

Osta was not going to convict her, he just wanted to use the evidence as leverage to persuade the Styx witch Melissa to agree to join his ruling alliance. Because this girl was the sister of the death loli Mavis, and because of her high appearance, she would not be severely punished by Osta, no major punishment, at most some minor punishment.

After the destruction of the Pluto Tower, the members of the Aosta team used the flying magic circle to move. According to the magic mark that Sophia had secretly marked before, they quickly tracked down the real hiding place of the fake King of the Underworld. In a palace built with obsidian.

This palace covers a huge area, and its main color is black. After visual inspection, Osta felt that the palace of the King of the Underworld was much larger than the palace of his hometown, the Obelisk Empire.

The Demon Palace of the King of the Underworld seemed unusually quiet, without even a single guard. Usually only Demon Generals could enter, so naturally there were no Demon Soldiers guarding the place. Most of those Demon Generals were purified by the Holy Light when they went to the Kroy Tower, and all of them were killed at the Pluto Tower, so there were no remaining personnel.

Osta entered the palace of Hades almost unimpeded, and did not see any guards or patrols on the way, which saved a lot of effort and trouble. After entering the palace of the King of the Underworld, Osta was a little disappointed. He originally thought that the King of the Underworld, even if he was a fake, would have some stuff.

The fake King of the Underworld was once a servant of the real King of the Underworld, a person with a similar status to a eunuch. Logically, he should have some good things on him. However, the actual situation is that the fake King of the Underworld is really a poor guy. This palace of the Underworld has nothing valuable except the black architectural style. Not even a gold, silver or copper coin was seen.

Osta made a mistake this time. There must be no treasure in the palace of the Hades. The valuable treasures here, those Hades gems, need to be collected in the Hades Fire Forest. Even those adventurers and mercenary teams that were wiped out, they did not carry any valuables. The only valuable equipment they had was basically left in the Hades Fire Forest.

If Osta really wanted to find treasure, digging and exploring in various places in the Nether Fire Forest would be the right choice. There was nothing valuable in the Pluto's Palace, so his pursuit this time was in vain.

"You actually chased me here, damn it, you actually betrayed me... Didn't you..."

Osta discovered the demon soul of the false Hades King deep in the Hades Palace. However, this time, Osta and his men did not need to take action, as the demon soul had already knelt on the ground and could not stand up again. Its looming body was gradually becoming blurred, as if it was about to dissipate.

On the big bed behind the demon soul, there is a beheaded headless corpse, which should be the real body of the false king of the underworld. This real body is not only beheaded, but also has many soul-breaking nails similar to nails inserted directly into the key positions of the body.

Special items like the Soul-Breaking Nail are forbidden items that are specifically used to destroy the key points where the soul and body meet. They were once considered forbidden items and sealed away by the world. The items have been lost for many years in the various human continents outside. Osta did not expect to see the real thing here.

In front of the false Hades King's demon soul, stood a phantom in a black robe. Osta knew who this guy was without her turning around. The figure from behind, with the black twin ponytails, was none other than the Styx Witch Melissa.

Melissa still had the Soul-Breaking Nail in her hand, and she didn't even hide the evidence of her crime, which was considered a confession. She took advantage of the departure of the Hades' Demonic Soul and used the special ability of the Hades' Crown to successfully pass through the Hades' Gate and reach Hades' Palace, and finally destroyed the fake Hades' body, making it impossible for him to be resurrected.

Melissa had obviously planned this, hiding for more than ten years just waiting for this day. This fake king of the underworld thought that the Styx witch Melissa had been completely fooled by him, but he didn't expect that in the end, he was the one who was actually deceived.

The King of the Underworld was already powerless at this point, and had basically no means to fight back. His subordinates, the main force, were completely wiped out by Aosta at Croita, and the entire army was annihilated, leaving him with only his own troops.

"I have never believed that you are the real King of the Underworld. The god on the crown of Hades has already told me the truth."

"Impossible, my plan is perfect!"

"Your acting skills can't even fool my sister Mavis. If that stupid girl can see it, how can I not see it?"

"You...you play me!"

"Of course, you are cunning enough. If I hadn't offered the souls of the believers behind my back, you wouldn't trust me as much as you do now."

"You actually betrayed your own tribe members and even deceived your own sister. You are really crazy!"

"That's enough small talk. Farewell, Lord King of the Underworld. No, the one who covets the throne."

The Styx Witch Melissa casually pointed, and a black energy ball appeared in front of her, instantly piercing the chest of the fake Underworld King Demon Soul. After being pierced by the black energy ball, the latter fell to the ground on the spot, and real black smoke emanated from his body, which gradually dissipated.

Osta was just watching the show and didn't say anything. He clearly felt that the energy of the Styx Witch Melissa was rising rapidly at this moment, which was even more terrifying than the first time he saw her. Especially the Pluto's crown on her head was emitting various dark energies similar to electric currents.

All of this was given by the Pluto's crown. When they first met, Melissa was probably pretending. With her current strength, even if the Death Goddess Mephis holds the lost artifact "Death Cutter", she can't easily subdue her sister Melissa.

Osta had to admit that the acting skills of the Styx Witch Melissa were even better than his, and she fooled most of the people present. The fake King of the Underworld was tricked by Melissa from the beginning, and the Crown of the Underworld did not choose it as the successor.

In order to deceive the world, the fake Hades King gave the Hades Crown to the Styx Witch Melissa. Unexpectedly, Melissa was recognized by the Hades Crown. The real Hades Demon Soul remaining in this underworld artifact recognized Melissa's strength and gave her power.

After Melissa knew the truth, she had been acting all along. She even deliberately offered up the souls behind her tribe members, the followers of the Hades Society, in order to gain the trust of the fake Hades King. The one who was really tricked was not the Styx Witch Melissa, but the fake Hades King himself.

If Osta and his team hadn't come, this drama would have been delayed for at least five years. When Melissa completely mastered the power of Hades, this fake Hades King would also be stabbed in the back. The arrival of Osta and his team directly accelerated the progress of the operation.

"It turned out to be the power of that adult. In the end, he didn't choose me as his successor. Ahem, kid, I'm telling you, don't trust women. You'll be..."

"It's time to get going. You talk too much."

The fake Underworld King Demon Soul laughed bitterly at himself, and the last words were obviously directed to Aosta in the distance. It was probably also laughing at its own stupidity. Before it finished speaking, it dissipated on the spot, ending the performance. However, the farce showed no signs of ending, after all, there was still an actor present.

Without Osta saying hello, Sophia and Yulia stepped forward. They both took a fighting stance, ready to attack the Styx Witch Melissa. Even though Melissa had gained power and her strength had greatly increased, she was still no match for these people.

"Sir, what are you doing? Aren't we allies? Partners!"

"Get lost, I'm only interested in women. Your Majesty, don't you feel ashamed for occupying Melissa's body to act?"

"I do not understand what you're saying."

"Don't pretend, I'm playing... I've seen a lot of ladies, can't you tell their true gender?"

"You are really smart, brat. When did the human race become so cunning? It has been many years since we last went to the surface world. There has been a big change."

"Times have changed. You shouldn't continue to be here, Pluto."

"Even if you know the truth, what can you do?"

Chapter 156: Redemption and Compromise of the Stygian Witch

Deep in the Hellfire Forest, the fake Underworld King in the Underworld King's Palace had received the punishment he deserved, and his soul had completely shattered. The fake Underworld King's body had been completely destroyed and was basically irreparable. However, something unexpected happened.

Lord Osta originally thought that the Styx witch Melissa had betrayed him and secretly disclosed the information to the fake King of the Underworld before the Osta team took action. The two sides colluded to set a trap to ambush the gentleman prince. If it weren't for the incredibly strong fighting power of the Osta team members, they would have been killed long ago.

After further contact, Osta finally confirmed that the Styx witch Melissa betrayed both sides, not just one side. After Melissa wore the crown of Hades, was recognized by the Hades' demon soul hidden in the Hades artifact, and obtained the power bestowed by it, she had surpassed this false Hades and became the true agent of Hades.

The Styx Witch Melissa, after the false Hades King collapsed, Melissa became the biggest winner. However, Osta couldn't just let it go, because the Hades King's demon soul just needed a container. When the soul fusion was completed, the consciousness that originally belonged to the Styx Witch Melissa would completely disappear.

“Pluto, if you exit Melissa’s body now, we can pretend that nothing happened. Otherwise, I will be offended.”

"You are so arrogant, you are just a human..."

"Pluto, you are too shameless. You even occupy a woman's body. Do you have any shame?"

"Boy, being young and impetuous is not good. You can't figure out what God is thinking."

The Hades Demon Soul did not take Osta's warning seriously, although it was not completely integrated. However, it felt that dealing with the human race this time would be as easy as crushing an ant. However, the facts were beyond Hades' expectations.

Normally, travelers have to practice hard, accumulate experience, and grow up through adventures before they can defeat bosses like Pluto. To Osta, it was no threat at all. The three exclusive combat maids accompanying him could easily defeat him.

Hades had just stretched out his hand, and before he could even show his power, he was suppressed by the other party. The beautiful girl with golden hair and golden eyes flashed behind Hades and stretched out her hand to grab Hades' hand. Hades occupied the body of the Styx Witch, and Sophia grabbed Melissa's hand.

"This is not the real underworld. The fake king of the underworld escaped here through a space crack to commit fraud. You should understand what I mean?"

"I am the real Pluto, not some fake rubbish."

"If you are completely purified here, even if you are the real Hades, you will only end up reduced to ashes."

"You... you dare to threaten God..."

The tough tone of Hades' Demon Soul didn't last long before it gave in. Sophia's whole body radiated a holy light. The powerful holy energy almost dissipated Hades' Demon Soul with just a slight contact.

The other party really has the ability to completely purify the demon soul of the Hades King in the area outside the underworld. At that time, even if it is the real Hades King, if his soul is purified, his fate will definitely be the same as that of the fake Hades King before, with his soul scattered and unable to be reborn.

"You are a smart man. If you leave this body now and return to the underworld, everyone will pretend that nothing happened. If you don't accept, then I can only deal with a small trouble."

"Wait a minute, I am thinking of..."

"Brother, you better speak bluntly. If you want to leave, do it now! If we regret it later, you will never be able to leave."

"You kid..."

Before the Pluto Demon Soul could utter a harsh word, Osta, who was watching the battle on the side, directly mocked and ridiculed him without any hesitation, and did not even give Pluto a proper way out. Pluto almost went berserk on the spot. Osta did not have the fighting power, but the three exclusive combat maids around him were so strong that they were unpredictable.

The Pluto Demon Soul kept his composure at the last moment and did not act rashly. After all, the old ones are the wisest. Being stared at by the three supreme beings, he had no chance to fight back.

"Forget it. I won't bother with a mortal like you. I'll just go back to the underworld."

"Wait, don't rush back."

"What's wrong with you, man?"

"Leave your power to that lady. She is not your believer, so it's not too much to give her some power, right?"

"You...you've had enough..."

Osta's behavior of taking advantage of the situation made Hades Demon Soul hesitate for a moment. After all, he was the king of the underworld and one of the highest rulers of the underworld. He never thought that there would be such a day when he would be robbed and shamelessly blackmailed by humans.

What shocked Hades's soul even more was that the black-haired, black-eyed beauty, Yulia, disliked Hades' slow response, so she simply didn't wait for her reply and took action in advance. She stretched out her hand and pressed on Hades' crown, and in the blink of an eye, she absorbed all the dark power contained in this underworld artifact.

The Pluto's Crown, which had lost its power, petrified at a speed visible to the naked eye, and then shattered. The genuine underworld weapon had its energy plundered and destroyed in such a short time. Now, any answer from the Pluto's Demon Soul was of little significance.

Facing the three strange battle maids, the Pluto Demon Soul was just a little brother, without any means of counterattack, and was completely in a position to be bullied. Even if the Pluto's real body came over, at its peak state, it would probably not be a match.

"You're too slow to react. Let me make the decision for you. What's wrong? Do you have any objections?"

"No, no, I... Can I leave now? I can go by myself. No need to bother you ladies. If you don't have any instructions, I can go by myself... No, I can just go by myself."

"Wouldn't it be better if you did this earlier? Why don't you say thank you for not killing me?"

"Thank...thank you for not killing me."

The Hades Demon Soul spoke in a humble tone. Although he hated it to death, he had to kneel before Osta in the face of absolute strength. He thanked him several times for not killing him before he was able to run away in disgrace. This matter must not be known to other Hades, otherwise, it would lose all its face.

After the underworld existed for so many years, this was the first time that Hades thanked the human race for not killing him. After Hades's soul left, his power was left to the Styx witch Melissa. Except for the underworld artifact "Crown of Hades" which was destroyed after the dark power contained in it was extracted by Yulia, Melissa actually did not lose anything.

The Styx witch Melissa also obtained the power of Hades for nothing, and her cultivation level improved a lot. This power of Hades is still controlled by Yulia, and she will transfer it to Melissa after Osta allows it. After losing his power, the unfortunate King of the Underworld has to recover through seclusion and cultivation again, and he will not appear again for a long time.

"Lord... Lord, what happened before..."

After the Hades Demon Soul left, the Styx Witch Melissa finally woke up. Although she was controlled by the Hades Demon Soul before, her consciousness was not completely gone, and she knew everything that had just happened.

After waking up, the Styx witch Melissa didn't know how to face Osta for a while. The betrayal did happen. This was partly due to the influence of the Pluto Demon Soul, but that was secondary. A large part of the reason was that she had that idea in the first place, and she couldn't let the Pluto Demon Soul take all the blame.

"Okay, Melissa, what happened before was all controlled by the Pluto Demon Soul. You were forced to do it, so you don't need to apologize."

"My Lord, I..."

"Melissa, this matter ends here. It's over. There's no need to mention it again."

"My Lord, I understand."

"So, Melissa, what do you think of my previous proposal?"

"My Lord, I am willing to pledge my loyalty to you."

Melissa, the witch of the Styx, blushed and finally accepted the proposal of Osta when they first met. That was to join the other party's ruling alliance, end the division of the Styx extraditers tribe, and restore the relationship with her sister, the death loli Mavis, and the two sides reconciled.

The restoration of the complete Styx Extraditers tribe and joining the territorial regime led by Lord Osta was a perfect ending. Although Osta was suspected of taking advantage of the situation and subjugating people with force, the Styx witch Melissa understood that she had no choice but to refuse. The opponent's strength was even above the Pluto Demon Soul and surpassed the gods.

Osta left the specific steps of reorganizing the Hades Society, ending the division of the Styx Extraditers tribe, and moving towards unity again to Melissa. After the Styx witch Melissa swore allegiance, Osta asked Yulia to pass the energy of Hades to Melissa.

The Styx witch Melissa was unwilling to admit defeat and did not want to lose to her sister. After the death loli Mavis was recognized by the lost artifact "Death Cutter", in order to not fall behind in power, Melissa pursued stronger power.

The Pluto Demon Soul hidden in the Pluto Crown was also attracted by Melissa's idea and chose her as the carrier. The Pluto Demon Soul planned to revive through Melissa's body, but unfortunately encountered the special beings around Osta who were beyond the combat power specification, and was eventually punished. The evil revival plan ended before it even started and was executed.

After taking down the Styx Witch Melissa, the only thing left to do was to deal with the hidden giant monster, Queen Mandragora. This huge parasite was hidden on the south bank of the "Lanubist River" (Styx).

The parasitic clone of Queen Mandragora once appeared on the Krasul Plain and intervened in the tribal war between the Dark Succubus Tribe and the Dark Elf Tribe. However, it was severely injured by Chris and has not appeared since then to interfere with the outside world.

Grace accepted a commission from the God of Creation of other planes from the Crossover Plug-in Gold Finger Points Exchange System Store. He wanted to retrieve the Mandragora Queen and could not leave this huge parasite alone.

After the Styx witch Melissa surrendered completely, she revealed important information to Osta. Before that, she was controlled by the Pluto's demon soul and came to attack the fake Pluto. The Mandragora Queen originally had a cooperative relationship with the fake Pluto and provided protection for its real body.
