Chapter 134 The Lingering Thoughts in the Underground Dungeon
When Di Xing regained consciousness, he found himself sitting awkwardly on a small stool, opposite a beautiful woman with short black hair, dressed in a black dress and with two yellow ribbons tied on either side of her head.
The beautiful woman sat on her divine throne, quietly watching Di Xing.
This familiar scene reminded Di Xing of an anime he had watched in the real world, and almost instinctively, he blurted out, "I'm sorry, Lord Eris."
"Not Lady Luck, but Hades!"
"You actually picked up on my joke? Aren't you the god of the underworld who locks down the world?"
"The world is closed off, and I'm not," Hades waved his hand, "Isn't it normal for gods to be omnipotent?"
"So, am I dead?" Di Xing asked cautiously.
Not yet.
Although the word "temporarily" made Di Xing a little suspicious, he wanted to ask about other things first. "So, who are you looking for? Are you interested in me?"
"I have no interest in ordinary humans. If any of you are aliens, time travelers, people from other worlds, or people with superpowers, then feel free to come find me."
Is your surname Haruhi Suzumiya, the god of the underworld? No, you can read my mind? No, I seem to be from another world.
There were so many things to complain about that Di Xing didn't know where to begin.
Hades chuckled. "You're quite an interesting person. You're the kind of person who, even when you're drowning, desperately sticks your head out of the water to yell, 'I'm not Kamen Rider!' before sinking back to the bottom."
Di Xing gasped. He really had a keen eye for people. Wait, this Underworld God seems to be able to pick up on any joke.
"Alright, as you probably know, you've been entangled with something dangerous. That thing is troublesome; even I have trouble dealing with it. However, it can't do anything to me either."
Unable to subdue the God of the Underworld, is it perhaps due to his noble indifference to his target?
"Stop guessing. If it weren't for that guy's interference, you would have guessed who it was long ago. These clues are more for the readers than for you."
"reader???"
"Anyway, you're quite interesting. I don't want you to die, but as a god, I can't just help you. However," the God of the Underworld waved his small hand, and a dark-skinned girl wearing a ram's skull mask appeared beside Di Xing, looking completely bewildered.
"This guy is looking for you. She can help you. He would definitely be able to find you anyway, but it might take a few days. I don't want anything to go wrong in the meantime, so I arranged for you to meet earlier. Doing this shouldn't be considered cheating, right?" Miss Hades argued.
"Alright, you guys go and face that guy."
"Face it directly? Wait a minute!" Di Xing panicked.
But Hades had already waved his little hand, and the next moment, Di Xing and the dark-skinned girl appeared in a prison cell.
"What is this?" Di Xing and the dark-skinned girl looked at each other, completely bewildered.
"Are you the Spirit of the Forgotten Heart Key?" Di Xing asked.
The Heart Key Spirit nodded, then ruthlessly plunged the key in its hand into Di Xing's heart.
"Holy crap!" Di Xing exclaimed in surprise, but then he felt something inside him being unlocked.
At the same time, a swarm of yellowish-green tentacles burst through the floor of the corridor outside the cell, and the giant creature emerged from them.
"Holy crap, I remember now, isn't this the ghost from the underground dungeon?!"
The effect activates when a card is sent to the Graveyard, cannot be chained by monster effects, and sends both players' cards to the Graveyard without targeting, rather than destroying them. This ability could indeed be devastating! I can't believe I forgot about such a powerful monster—no, it's more like it interfered with my progress.
At this moment, the ghost in the underground dungeon seemed to notice something, turning around. The single eye beneath the pile of tentacles stared intently at Di Xing. Di Xing broke out in a cold sweat and instinctively reached into his card pile, only to find nothing.
Oh no, why didn't Miss Hades send me her deck as well?
[The Stirrings in the Underground Dungeon] A massive body covered in tentacles writhed forward, extending tentacles to entwine around the iron bars of the cell. Di Xing's heart nearly stopped, but he couldn't help but think to himself: Hmm, a dark crawl.
【Mo Wangxin Key Spirit】was also very nervous, but still used her small body to shield Di Xing.
Seeing this, Di Xing felt a pang of shame and resolved to protect the [Forget-Me-Not Key Essence] no matter what. But just then, Di Xing sensed countless sparks burning around him simultaneously.
【The Wanderer in the Underground Dungeon】 effortlessly tore through the cell bars, and tentacles covering his body surged into the cell.
Mo Wangxin, his mind racing, stared intently at the dungeon walls. He turned to Di Xing behind him and said, "I'll try to lock his heart lock in a moment. It might pause for a second; you must seize that opportunity to escape."
"No need," Di Xing said confidently. [Mo Wangxin Key Essence] turned around in surprise to look at Di Xing.
Di Xing revealed a confident smile. The next moment, a roar came from the opposite cell, and a skeleton appeared at the cell door, gripping the iron bars and howling angrily.
[The lingering thoughts of the underground dungeon] turned its head, glanced at the skeleton with the single eye beneath its tentacle, then nonchalantly turned back to continue crawling towards the shadowy Di Xing.
But then roars came from the nearby cells and even further away, as countless skeletons roared in fury!
Accompanied by these roars, Di Xing raised one hand high, and a White Bone King materialized in his hand.
That's right, he also has a card, which is the skeleton that Di Xing of this world transformed into, and the skeleton king that their souls resonated with.
"The bells of vengeance have tolled, and raging souls resonate in unison. Roar, Bone King, shatter the world's despair!"
The enormous bone claw broke through the floor and grabbed the dazed figure in the dungeon.
The spirit in the dungeon did not panic, but instead emitted a complex and profound sound. If one had to describe this sound in a single word, it would be the whisper of an ancient god.
However, Di Xing had already guessed that he could understand what he was saying.
"You truly are the symbol of rebellion, Sisyphus. Is this the one you chose? Very well, then I will follow you and witness it firsthand."
Then, with a powerful shove of his giant hand, the [Wandering Spirit of the Underground Dungeon] was reduced to dust.
Then the powder condensed into a card, which floated into Di Xing's hand.
"What? The spirit from the dungeon actually turned into a card on its own?"
With the shattering of the [Dungeon's Reflection], the entire surrounding dungeon collapsed, and the surrounding space turned into a void of darkness.
"Who exactly are you?" [Mo Wangxin Key Spirit] looked at Di Xing with a shocked expression.
"I'm not really sure either," Di Xing scratched his head. "Wait, weren't you looking for me? Don't you know anything about me?"
"I was drawn to your strong desire to recall something," Mo Wangxin explained to Di Xing.
