71: Chapter 71 An Unexpected Event! The Shibarba Carnival Grand Opening!

On the Divine Kingdom Plaza.

One hundred thousand QinRuishi spectral soldiers, clad in heavy black iron armor, had already completed their formation.

The black squares resembled a silent, steel Great Wall, and the chilling spears refracted a heart-stopping cold light under the illumination of Netherworld ghost flames.

And upon the throne of white bones that originally belonged to the Aztec God of Death,

A young man in plain black robes was listlessly playing with a crystal-clear Godhead.

He crossed his legs and didn't even bother to look directly at the imposing Lord of Hell standing at the entrance.

"Oh, isn't this Lucifer?"

Pei Fei casually tossed the Godhead, which belonged to the God of Death, like a coin, then caught it, a hint of mockery curling at the corner of his mouth, "You came quite fast. What, are you here to deliver a congratulatory gift?"

Satan's face was as black as the bottom of a pot.

He looked at the Eastern spectral soldiers who had already taken over the defense, looked at this land that had been branded with 'Fengdu,' and felt like his lungs were about to explode.

This was supposed to be severely weakened?

This was clearly full and satisfied, picking its teeth!

"Pei Fei!!"

Satan roared, and the six wings behind him suddenly spread open. The terrifying power of corruption made the void tremble, "We had an agreement! A four-six split! You kill the god, I take the land! What is the meaning of this? Do you want to swallow it all yourself?!"

Pei Fei picked his ear, looking completely innocent.

"Old Lu, this is where you are being unreasonable."

He stood up from the throne and slowly walked down the steps, "The premise of the agreement was 'cooperative hunting.' But the problem is, my sister cleared the instance on her own merit, winning according to the rules of the Thriller Game. Everything in this Divine Kingdom is the spoils of war for the Dragon Country."

"In a God War, the winner takes all. Isn't that logical?"

"You..." Satan trembled with rage.

What kind of bandit logic was this?!

"You are declaring war on the Western Hell!" Satan laughed in extreme anger, the Fallen Holy Sword in his hand igniting with towering black flames, "Since you won't give it, I'll take it myself!"

"Boom!"

Satan moved.

He transformed into a black meteor, charging straight at Pei Fei with a world-destroying momentum.

The terrifying high temperature instantly melted a gap in the formation of spectral soldiers in his path.

Pei Fei stopped, the mockery on his face instantly vanishing, replaced by an absolute, ancient coldness and dominance.

"You dare make a move on my turf?"

"Are you worthy?"

Zheng—!

A clear sword cry echoed through the void.

Pei Fei didn't mobilize the one hundred thousand spectral soldiers behind him, nor did he use much divine power.

He simply held his hand in the air, and the Son of Heaven Sword, symbolizing the authority of Fengdu, materialized out of thin air.

As the blade was drawn, the essence of the Aztec Divine Kingdom, which had just been devoured, instantly transformed into a vast, mighty force, empowering Pei Fei.

This was the home-field advantage.

"Scram!"

Pei Fei grunted, swinging his sword seemingly casually.

This seemingly ordinary sword strike appeared to invoke the shadow of the Six Paths of Reincarnation.

Rumble—!!

The powers of the two main gods clashed head-on in mid-air without any fancy maneuvers.

The energy storm spread like a nuclear explosion, instantly leveling the surrounding bone structures.

They only held for one second.

The ball of black fire representing Hell was forcibly torn apart by the golden Reincarnation Sword Qi.

"Pfft!"

A figure flew backward, retreating hundreds of steps in the void before barely stabilizing his figure.

Satan stared intently at Pei Fei in the distance, his chest heaving violently.

His left hand, held behind his back, was trembling uncontrollably, and a drop of golden divine blood quietly slipped from his fingertip, falling into the void and being instantly devoured.

He lost.

In front of Pei Fei, who had completely refined the Aztec essence, and on his home field covered by Eastern rules, he couldn't gain any advantage.

"Good... Very good!"

Satan took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing the surging blood within him, his eyes venomous like a snake, "Pei Fei, you can protect her for a while, but not forever."

"The more you give that mortal sister of yours after the God War, the more all the mythological systems will view her as fat meat."

"I hope her life is tough enough."

With that, Satan lingered no longer, transforming into a mist of black smoke, carrying unwillingness and resentment, and fled wretchedly from this place of sorrow.

Pei Fei watched the direction where Satan disappeared, a cold glint flashing in his eyes.

He casually flicked the bead of blood off the sword's edge and sneered coldly.

"You dare touch my sister? Then come and try!"

...

The West, the deepest part of Hell.

Satan returned to his throne with a gloomy face. The surrounding succubi trembled, not daring to make a sound.

He remained silent for a long time before finally reaching out and plucking a feather suspended in the void, emitting a sacred white light.

That was the direct line connecting to 'Heaven.'

"Buzz..."

The light brightened, and a majestic, cold, yet hypocritical voice came through.

"Lucifer, you have overstepped your bounds."

Satan sneered, skipping any pleasantries: "Old man, stop pretending. That madman in the East has swallowed the Aztecs, Qin Shi Huang is guarding the Underworld Sea, and Pei Fei is stationed in Fengdu. The balance has been broken."

"If we don't join forces now, once he digests the spoils of this battle, do you think you can still live your Eden Garden life in peace?"

The other side was silent for a moment.

"What do you plan to do?"

"Pei Fei is too strong; a direct confrontation is not worth it. But that woman named Pei Duo is his anchor, and also his only weakness." Satan's voice carried deep malice, "Once she is destroyed, Pei Fei will go mad. A mad god is much easier to deal with than a rational king."

"Agreed."

The voice replied with just one word, and then the light dissipated.

A cruel arc curved on Satan's lips.

Since you can't beat me with the rules, then I'll flip the table; no one will have an easy time.

...

Jiang City, Nursing Home.

Two days passed in a flash.

There were no monster roars, no countdown to death; this kind of peace made one's bones feel soft.

Pei Duo sat cross-legged on the sofa, watching a variety show with intense focus, holding a freshly opened bag of tomato-flavored potato chips.

Not far away, Lin Sa was maintaining a newly acquired dagger, while Xu Mo was staring at the computer screen, analyzing the data about the Western mythological system sent by the Special Operations Bureau.

"It seems this was a great victory." Xu Mo pushed up his glasses, his tone relaxed, "Based on experience, after clearing an S-rank or higher instance, there's at least a mandatory one-month rest period. We can finally have a good vacation."

"I want to eat hot pot," Pei Duo mumbled indistinctly, stuffing a chip into her mouth, "I've been gnawing on compressed biscuits for several days in that wretched place; my mouth is utterly bland."

"Okay, let's go tonight." Lin Sa put away the dagger, showing a rare hint of a smile.

Everything looked so wonderful.

However, beauty always vanishes inadvertently.

Without any warning.

That cold, grand, yet slightly eerie mechanical voice, accompanied by a faint crackle of static, exploded simultaneously in the minds of the three people without any prior sign!

【Warning! Warning!】

【The Only Hidden Mythological Instance Has Been Activated!】

【Instance Name: The Carnival of Xibalba】

【Difficulty: ? ? ? 】

【Teleportation... Starting Immediately!】

"Wh-"

Xu Mo's face instantly turned pale, and he jumped up.

But it was too late.

The floor beneath the three instantly vanished, replaced by a blood-red halo carved with maya totems, emitting a terrifying suction.

"Thud."

The tomato-flavored potato chip slipped from Pei Duo's fingers, falling onto the empty floor and shattering into pieces.

The next second.

The room was empty.

Only the laughter from the variety show on the television echoed in the empty space, utterly out of place.
