Myriad Realms Gatekeeper

The entire Cannon Branding Castle was abuzz.

All souls hurried over, eager to witness this extremely rare scene.

General Tazweil also arrived with his entourage and asked,

"Rosalia! Have you received redemption and can now head to Heaven?"

"No, General," Rosalia turned to look at him, her eyes filled with joy, "My lord, the great vampire Baxter, he is resurrecting me."

"—I am about to return to the mortal world!"

The souls erupted into a thunderous buzz of discussion.

Rosalia, however, lifted her head, looking towards the distant end of the column of light.

The resurrection was about to begin!

Nightmare World.

The secret passage in Human Territory.

The giant skeleton was performing the Undead Resurrection.

The entire technique was on the verge of completion.

Shen Ye stood to the side, took out a bottle of chilled pineapple juice, and slowly drank.

Suddenly.

Gleams of light gathered from the surroundings, forming lines of text:

"This is an event that has shaken the entirety of Hell."

"The great vampire Baxter has performed a resurrection technique at Cannon Branding Castle, bringing a dark elf back to life, freeing her from the sufferings of Hell."

"This act will surely be widely extolled, and you, Baxter, your fame has already echoed through Hell!"

"Sibling entry: Vampire Kid has made significant progress."

"Just one step away, it can transform upwards, becoming an even stronger entry."

"Please continue to create more sibling deeds worthy of praise, you need one more sensational tale of renown, and after that—"

"Legend (Gold) is about to be born!"

Let's turn back time a little.

Not long ago.

Hell.

The very distant reaches of Hell.

In a magnificent palace.

The Nine Aspects crouched on his throne, looking down at the several subordinates kneeling below.

"Why haven't we found out the situation in the Goldarn Trench yet?"

He demanded.

A vampire kneeling below said: "My lord, the Goldarn Trench is too vast and extremely deep, we need more time!"

"How much longer?" Nine Aspects asked impatiently.

"Soon! My lord!" the vampire said.

"My lord, don't listen to him—I've just ascertained the truth. This vampire has commanded everyone to explore the Jin Enjia Gorge, claiming it's in your service," a werewolf exclaimed.

Nine Aspects looked towards the vampire.

The vampire excitedly said: "My lord! I've organized thousands to explore, we will definitely unearth all the intelligence for you!"

Nine Aspects snapped his fingers.

Pop.

The vampire's head shattered.

"Idiots... With so many people going, even if there were any clues, they'd have already alerted the enemy and been cleaned out by them."

Nine Aspects's face grew somber, barely able to contain his urge to kill.

"What about the other matter I entrusted to you?" he asked.

"My lord," the werewolf respectfully said, "The personnel have been organized and are ready to probe Eternal Night City for clues at any time."

"You mean—you haven't gone yet, after all this time?" Nine Aspects said incredulously.

The werewolf said: "Yes, my lord, coordinating these fifty-odd talented individuals wasn't easy; they all have their own temperaments, it took all my efforts to settle them, this is the list, please review it—and, my lord, should we draft an action plan?"

Nine Aspects froze.

After a long while.

He spoke:

"Do you think—I should draft the plan for you?"

The werewolf nodded with a smile: "You're the boss, we follow your lead."

Boom!!!

The entire hall was demolished with one blow.

The werewolf was reduced to ashes.

All other deceased were caught in the aftermath, off to report to Purgatory.

Only Nine Aspects stood alone on the smoke-covered platform, unable to restrain his violent demeanor any longer.

Damn it!

Baxter's way of doing things was never like this!!!

Whether it was food, intelligence, or treasures—

He would have everything arranged before contacting me, and I wouldn't have to do anything!

Now, you're turning it around, giving me tasks to handle!

Who gave you the audacity!

Nine Aspects let out a strange cry, his physique shot up into the sky, instantly breaking through the void, and landed in the Nightmare World.

He fell from mid-air, landing on a lookout tower of a castle.

The wind blew.

The sound of a flute echoed.

All the heads behind Nine Aspects began to listen intently to the flute music.

He, too, calmed down completely.

Suddenly.

A head slowly squeezed through from behind, pushing aside all the listening heads, to stand shoulder to shoulder with Nine Aspects's own head.

He now had two heads!

"No—" Nine Aspects's face showed a struggle.

But that head swiftly pushed him back, relegating him to the back amidst dozens of heads.

That head replaced him!

"Ah, it's Karula's flute music, truly captivating," the head said in a pleased female voice.

—This was a female head!

Her movements were like those of a real woman, her white gold hair flowing, her expression gentle, and her entire body gradually shrinking, transforming into a delicate female figure.

But the cluster of heads protruding from her back marred her physical beauty.

She stood still, slowly opening her mouth.

Heads squirmed, "swimming" over from her back to her mouth, shrinking as they were swallowed one by one.

Now, she appeared as a normal human woman.

"Alright, time to have a chat with Karula, she will understand the sorrow in my heart..."

Female Nine Aspects stepped towards the castle's interior.
