Late at night, Stanley knelt in the temple of Hades and prayed piously.


    Sweat slipped one by one against the round cheeks, not hot, but scared.


    Stanley is not afraid of war, even if his opponent is God. Dying in battle is the destination of martial arts. Defending the family is a man''s glorious mission. Supported by these two beliefs, Stanley believes that he has the courage to face Athena directly.


    But the next journey made him panic. He never went down to the underworld in a sober state.


    As believers of the underworld, they are qualified to enter the underworld only after reaching level 6. This is not discrimination against low-level believers, but protection. Manda had never entered the underworld before the sixth order. People below the sixth order may never get out after entering the underworld.


    Stanley didn''t know if Pluto could hear his prayer. He knew that he had never been the favorite of the gods. He just wanted to calm himself through prayer.


    A horse hissed outside the door. The one who should have come came after all.


    Stanley walked out of the temple, kissed Lulian at the door, turned and was about to leave, but Lulian hugged him from behind.


    "Don''t go, I beg you. I''ll listen to you in the future. You can find as many girls as you want. I beg you, don''t go!"


    Stanley smiled, "if you don''t go, you can''t save Manda, our family will be over."


    "Then I''ll go with you. Whenever we are, we''ll be together."


    Stanley gently touched Lulian''s stomach: "don''t say such silly words. You have to give this little guy a good name before I come back."


    The horse hissed again. Stanley left Lulian crying and went to the dark field alone.


    There was a carriage parked in the field. Akira clutched the reins and smiled at Stanley, "see you again, little brother."


    Stanley leaned over and saluted, "you may have to wait a little longer. My people are not ready yet."


    Akira frowned and said, "are you not ready for luggage, or are you not ready for courage?"


    "Their bags and courage are ready, but they haven''t taken the powder to let them sleep. It''s fast. Just wait a minute."


    "Throw away the powder. They don''t have to sleep in my carriage."


    Stanley looked at the size of the car. It should fit three or four people.


    "Is this the only carriage? I have ten men with me."


    "Ten people dare to go to Athena? I thought you brought a thousand people," Akira smiled. "Let them come. The car is spacious."


    The crowd followed Stanley into the carriage. There was a door behind the curtain. When the door was opened, there was a spacious hall with black slate, black walls and dark candles on the black candlestick.


    The hall can easily hold 1000 people. There is a staircase near the wall. The light is too dark to see where this staircase leads.


    Is there another room here? Is this a castle?


    The people were stunned and suddenly heard Akira shouting, "tell your friends, don''t move or run!"


    "Please rest assured that I will keep an eye on them all the time."


    "Don''t look. Just remind me. If you''re trapped in this house and can''t get out, just be a companion with me. Come and sit next to me."


    Come to you? Isn''t that going to be exposed?


    Stanley didn''t understand the meaning of doing so. It seemed that the trip was not so pleasant.


    "This is the order of Pluto. Come here quickly!" Akira was impatient.


    Stanley sat next to Akira and followed him into the entrance of the underworld.


    "This is the dark valley. There are thousands of wronged souls on both sides. These wronged souls can''t cross the Styx river for various reasons. When I have the opportunity, I will tell you their stories."


    Seeing Stanley''s shortness of breath and silence, Akira frowned and said, "what''s the matter with you?"


    Stanley shook his head and said he didn''t want to talk.


    Akira said with a smile, "it''s normal to hate cold, have a bitter mouth and want to vomit. But I remind you, don''t vomit. These wronged souls haven''t eaten overheated food for a long time. Leaving your vomit here may attract something terrible. I don''t care, but there are some things you can''t bear."


    On hearing this, Stanley swallowed back what was pouring into his throat.


    Akira waved his whip and urged the horse covered with armor. Stanley wondered whether it was a horse under the armor. He could only hear the horse hissing, but he couldn''t hear a hoof.


    "You have to learn to get used to the air here. This is our home. No matter whether you can be promoted or not, one day you will come here, inhale deeply, forget your attachment to warmth, and let the cold completely fill your body. It feels very beautiful, much better than in the world."


    Akira slapped Stanley on the back and helped him stabilize his soul.


    "You should stay awake, or your majesty will lose his temper. If anything happens during this trip, you must bear witness for me. It has nothing to do with me or the underworld."


    ……


    In Pan''s temple, mandamo sat at the door, his hands dripping with blood.


    I didn''t expect that there are things in the world that can''t be cut by the golden finger. In the past two days, he has always wanted to cut the stone gate at the entrance with the golden finger. The stone gate was cut to pieces, but there is a strange force that keeps the gravel firmly together.


    There was no food or water in the temple. Hungry Manda ate a flower, but found that the flower was harder to swallow than soil. She didn''t know what material it was made of. It wasn''t a plant anyway.


    Looking at the huge Athena standing in her original position on the ruins of the temple, Manda did not know when he would wake up.


    He also held his chaotic part in his hand, which had been consuming Manda''s divine power.


    Get him back?


    Manda did not dare to do so. Instead, she was worried that Athena would wake up immediately once she took back her separation.


    He licked the blood on his finger, stood up again, looked at the scarred stone gate and bit his teeth hard.


    What cannot be opened is not the stone gate, but the mysterious force behind the stone gate.


    This power is not unbreakable. Manda had felt a little looser before.


    You have to tear it apart!


    Manda inserted her finger into the stone again and tore it with great pain. When his physical strength was about to dry up, he felt the loosening of the force again. This time, the loosening was very obvious. He could even smell the humid air outside the temple.


    Strange, why does the air smell of wine?


    ……


    Abigail, a seventh order disciple of Zeus, wiped his sweat: "this boy is restless for a moment."


    Batman, a seventh order disciple of Apollo, said, "I don''t understand why the goddess should waste so much time on him. It''s better to give him to us. I promise he will speak in a day."


    Kissin, a seventh order disciple of Poseidon, said, "don''t point at the goddess of wisdom. You are not qualified."


    "That''s advice? You''re really a loyal subordinate," butterman smiled. "I''m not as loyal as you. I don''t expect him to raise me to the eighth level. I just need to get the artifact."


    "What''s the use of getting the artifact? Waiting to be eroded?"


    "I''ve been waiting for more than 100 years and have been looking forward to the day when I can defeat putala, but I didn''t expect putala to be defeated in his hands. This is God''s will. It must be God''s will. The God of light let me take over his artifact. After I get the silver bow, I will always guard it, even if I get lost."


    Kissin said, "which of you has wine with you?"


    Abigail smiled, "are you in the mood for a drink?"


    "I smell wine!"


    "I can smell it too. There''s a Dionysian believer nearby," Batman licked his lips. "Level five? Level six? Why doesn''t he come out? I really want to have some fun after waiting here for so many days."


    "There are not only Dionysus believers, but also Hades believers," Abigail said. "Ask about the smell. He sent a corpse first. Now young people don''t know the rules."


    At the entrance of the cave, several living corpses flashed back and forth. They looked very fast. In the eyes of the three seventh order believers, they were not much different from the toddlers.


    Abigail''s palm flashed a bolt of lightning: "give it to me!"


    Batman shook his head and said, "be careful, my friend. Don''t you smell the heat under the forest cold? There is a fire in the underworld in their bodies."


    With that, Batman pulled open his long bow and shot a living corpse with an arrow.


    The corpse''s body began to expand, and there was a glimmer of dazzling light in the cracked skin.


    "The great God of light, please allow me to use your power to clean up all corruption and evil hidden in the dark!"


    The corpse exploded and the strong light lit up the night.


    Multiple skills were combined in this arrow. The fire of the underworld in the living corpse had just begun to burn, but it was extinguished by the dazzling light.


    Not far away, Stanley covered his eyes and blood seeped from his fingers. He just took a look through the sight of the living corpse and caused such serious damage to his eyes.


    He endured severe pain, took a branch and drew three circles on the ground.


    Kunta looked at the three circles and silently exclaimed, "what an ancient Dharma array!"
