Chapter 277: The Time to Show Your Strength

The demon Bart was born in Hell, and his master, Mage Looney, also spent a considerable amount of time in Hell. They are already very familiar with the terrain of hell.

Of course, even so, Bart can't guarantee 100% that he can be familiar with every place in hell. Because this weird place really hides too many unknown things.

But where the river of souls flows through hell, Bart is quite clear. Because Master Rooney has done in-depth research on soul and space magic. Because this is hell, there is no better place to do this kind of research than here.

But Doom didn't have a guide like the devil Bart, and he was able to find this place completely relying on another method. The Ghost Rider Kamibeo relies on the memory of the spirit of vengeance in his body to find the approximate direction of the river of souls.

The spirit of vengeance in Kanbe's body is a bit special. The spirit of vengeance in his body is related to the legendary Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva of the oriental gods. It should be another consciousness of Ksitigarbha. Please don't get me wrong here, the oriental pantheon is similar to the Chinese pantheon in some places.

But its essence is specious. In the Chinese mythology, Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva is the great power in charge of hell and reincarnation. And different from other gods, the god who governs hell in the Chinese gods is a genuine main god, or explained from the perspective of Western gods, it is the level of the heavenly father.

And it is a righteous god, not a demon god like Mephisto or Lucifer. This is very, very rare. Most of the hell lords in hell are big demons, and they only get the god position for some special reasons.

Few righteous gods who are born with divinity will condescend to go to hell to be a hell lord, and hell is not a good place.

The Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva in the Chinese god system is definitely the most special one. Although it is said that the Buddhist gods originated in India, there is no place for Buddhism in India today.

Like many other gods, Buddhist gods also have their own kingdom of God. Only devout believers can live in the Western Pure Land of the Kingdom of God after death. This is the same as Asgard, only those who believe in the gods of Asgard can enter the Kingdom of God.

Today, the countries on earth that believe in Buddhism are concentrated in East Asian countries. And those with the most believers are in China.

And there is a Jizo with the same name in Dongyang's god system. Although the same name is Jizo, there is a big gap in ability and status.

The Ksitigarbha of Dongyang is just a small god, not even qualified to build temples. It's just a small Buddha statue about 30 centimeters in height erected on the side of the road for passers-by to pay homage to. In terms of status, it is about the same as that of a land lord.

The main duty is to keep one party's house safe, but in addition to the function of keeping the house safe. The only thing this little god has to do with Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva is to help Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva receive and guide the souls of the dead.

To be precise, this little Ksitigarbha should be called Ksitigarbha Boy or Ksitigarbha Messenger more accurately.

Because the spirit of vengeance in Kanbe's body has an indistinct relationship with Jizo in the oriental gods, and it also has the ability to attract dead souls. Therefore, Kanbeyu has a certain feeling for the river of souls where the dead return to.

But the closer you get to the river of souls, the stronger the disturbance to this induction. The first is that the spirit of vengeance in his body is just a small god's consciousness, and has never been close to the river of souls.

The second is that the closer you get to the river of souls, the more frightened the vengeful spirit in Kanbe Yuo's body becomes. Because as the guide of the souls of the dead, he essentially has a kind of awe for the river of souls, and he naturally does not want to get too close to the river of souls.

And when advancing in this direction to a certain extent, the positioning of Kamibe Yuo began to be confused, and precise positioning was required. Doom took a different approach.

A special storage box hangs from the waist of his armor. The volume of the box is not large, and it forms a relatively complete shape with the armor as a whole.

In this storage space, Dum put five metal spheres the size of duck eggs. The sphere of the metal sphere glows with a shining silvery white luster, as if it has been chrome-plated and then polished with a polishing cloth for the finest polishing.

The surface of the sphere is almost mirror-like luster is its most notable feature. After Dum took the ball out, he transmitted a small amount of energy into the ball through his armor, and the metal ball that seemed to be a complete one actually had irregular cracks.

Through the crack, the entire sphere began to undergo a complex deformation. This process is silent and delicate, as if a work of art is being opened.

A cumbersome hollow hole was opened, and only a dark green light could be seen looking into the ball from the hole.

"What is this? It looks like a work of art." Jin Bin glanced at the ball in Dum's hand with great interest.

"A collector of souls, I think you should have seen it. Of course it is a crude and primitive version." Dum calmly reminded Jin Bin.

Jin Bin recalled that it should be the metal ball that Dum threw in when he calmed the violent entrance to hell that day.

"So you stuffed souls into these spheres? It's unbelievable." Kim was amazed.

"Didn't expect Dr. Doom, you are not only a genius in science, but also quite accomplished in mysticism."

Dum was not too shocked by Jin Bing's praise, he still spoke calmly. "When I met those monks in China, I knew there was another world beyond this world."

"Any intelligent person is eager to explore the unknown. I am no exception."

"It is rumored that the closer you are to the city of the dead, the easier it is for the soul to be attracted to it. Otherwise, it is likely to wander aimlessly in hell for several years. However, the escape speed of the soul after being extracted by the city of the dead is very fast. To find the city of the dead, unless there are a considerable number of souls forming a route for us. So I take the liberty to ask the doctor, how many souls are there here?" Jin and expressed his concern appropriately.

"More than 300,000." Dum said an astonishing figure calmly.

"Papa papa." Jin couldn't help clapping. "Presumably there are many souls who died in the war in Eastern Europe."

"When did you start caring about the life and death of irrelevant people? These people are not my subjects, I don't care, I presumably you don't care either, Jin Bin." Doom's words made Jin Bin's applause more enthusiastic, and he continued to face Doom nodded in agreement.

In a sense, these two people have too many similarities. Especially when the means are used to achieve the ends.

Dum has special equipment to rely on energy fluctuations to detect the whereabouts of those souls who have escaped from the soul cage. In his eyes, these escaped souls have erected conspicuous signposts for him.

When Dum could already see the colorful river of souls from a distance, the inspection monitor built into his helmet, because it detected a huge and inestimable amount of soul energy, was instantly overloaded and burned down. .

However, because Doom had considered safety issues during the design, this time the small explosion inside the mask did not hurt him. Doom could still smell the burnt circuit board, though. It may take some time for these smells to dissipate.

"Is the city of the dead a river?" According to Dum's last inspection of the whereabouts of the dead souls, those souls should all go to that colorful river.

"Lucifer won't tell me everything without reservation." Jin stood beside Dum. He didn't wear the white suit he used to wear when he came to Hell this time. He would be courting death if he came to Hell that way.

For this action in hell, he had already prepared his outfit. A set of power armor with a height of 2.5 meters and a weight of nearly 700KG is as huge as a hill. It is a bit like the MK1 originally designed by Tony. Of course there is a huge difference between the two.

I don't know where Jin Bing got it from. You must know that Tony's armor is not for sale, and Dum is not kind enough to make a set of armor for Jin. After all, the two are just using each other.

"However, this river should be related to the City of the Dead. Even at such a distance, you can still feel powerful energy fluctuations. Maybe you can find the City of the Dead along this river." Dum muttered to himself. guessed.

And his speculation is basically correct.

"Go to that river first, but first let some cannon fodder go to see if there is any danger." Doom has already made such a decision.

And the cannon fodder in his mouth is those ninjas who will fight with each other. Doom and Kim didn't have any sympathy for these ninjas. After all, they were just a group of living dead, and even their souls were crippled.

In fact, the closer you get to the river of souls along the way, the more hands and ninjas start to fall to the ground. Because their broken souls have no solidity in their bodies.

The closer you get to the river of souls, the more people's souls are directly drawn into reincarnation.

Where Dum and the others did not pay attention, Li Jie and his party approached slowly relying on invisible equipment.

"Let those ninjas go first." Li Jie saw that under Doom's order, the ninjas in the hand and meeting were like puppets walking towards the river of souls.

"These ninjas are not a threat." Tony had a short-distance conversation with Li Jie through the communication equipment in the armor. Although they are very close, it is a stupid thing to speak directly in the air at this time to expose the target of oneself and others.

"Let them fend for themselves, save us from doing it." Li Jie has already discovered the abnormality of these ninjas.

When those ninjas had already started to go away, and the straight-line distance between Li Jie and others was only about three kilometers away from Doom.

According to the original plan, everyone started to act.

For someone like Dum, if you want him to have a face-to-face formal negotiation with you, you need to show some strength. And now is the time to show some strength.
