Chapter 232: Zhax and the Underworld
Chapter 232: Zhax and the Underworld
Zhax's "personality" is an evil spirit born from the "Origin of the Eight Wastelands". Its soul is composed of three major components: "fear", "greed" and "anger". It is an extremely evil existence at the definition level.
It does not have any positive conscious tendencies, and all its actions are aimed at creating more "fear", "greed" and "anger" to increase its own power, and this is also its only pleasure.
Fear, greed, and anger form the three anchor points of Zhax's soul, forming the foundation of each reincarnation. After the soul is reconstructed through the three deadly sins, Zhax can possess the body of a spirit, constantly drawing energy until it can materialize these three personalities and reincarnate into a real life.
Every time Zhax revives, he uses the "three major clones" to absorb energy to achieve the transformation of his body, and splits out "split bodies" with some of the characteristics of his original body to assist in combat and "eating".
Baster told the secrets recorded in the temple, and Wu Erqi gradually became silent.
"If Zhax has already appeared once on the planet Dais, I guess that must be one of his clones. The one Rey met on the planet Volcano must be another clone."
"So Zhax has already activated two clones? With one final clone, he can be completely resurrected and transformed into a real living being."
Wu Erqi asked.
"I am afraid……"
Baster was silent for a moment, then said with difficulty: "He has activated the third clone."
"What else do you know?"
"It's just a guess. The volcano planet being covered in molten flames is more consistent with the anger of the Three Deadly Sins. If my guess is correct, he has another clone activated, and no news has been leaked."
"What was Zhax's strength like in the past?"
"His power fluctuates greatly. When he's weaker, he can be suppressed by the Galaxy Guardians. Rey right now wouldn't be hard to contend with. But when he's at full power... he can destroy everything!"
"Then how strong do you think he is this time?"
"I do not know."
Bast shook his head and continued, "The more chaotic the universe, the more fear, greed, and anger there are, and the stronger Zhax becomes. However, the level of chaos in the universe today is approaching the war between gods and demons ten thousand years ago. The bloodshed of divine beasts and the disasters of the demon world are all the best nourishment for Zhax."
Wu Erqi covered his face in embarrassment.
In fact, they didn't know that after the disaster in the demon world, another catastrophe in the underworld had already begun, and Zhax started the resurrection plan at this point in time.
Rey returned from Volcano Star. Fortunately, his injuries were not serious. It seemed that Zhax did not hurt him.
Buster went to help Rey, but Rey waved him off. "Zhax is scary, but he didn't fight me seriously. He left on his own. I don't understand what he was going to do."
Bast said, "He probably wants to merge the powers of the three clones and reincarnate completely."
Rey didn't know too many secrets, so he asked Buster for advice. Buster told Rey what he knew, and the more Rey listened, the more frightened he became.
"If I'm not mistaken, he still needs to complete the final step, which is to sacrifice countless lives to condense his own life form."
"So where will he choose?"
Buster didn't know either, but Wu Erqi was very sure that this place must be Lucio Star.
But the final result slapped him in the face. Zhax chose a planet that was unexpected but reasonable. Of course, this is a later story.
Not long after, Xuanwu Bast arrived at Helka Planet. To be honest, he didn't really want to come here.
"I already know what you said. Tiger also informed me. It seems that Zhax's resurrection is inevitable. We can only do our best to eliminate him."
"With the divine beast Xuanwu here, there will be no problem in destroying Zhax."
"...I must tell you some bad news. Following the Demon Realm, the invasion of the Underworld has also begun. The Underworld believes in death, and their behavior is even more extreme than that of the Demon Realm."
Everyone was shocked when they heard this. What was the underworld?
Among those present, only Wu Erqi knew the details of the underworld best, and the high priest Bast had only seen a few words about it in the temple's history books.
"The invasion of the underworld will definitely increase Zhax's power and make him more difficult to deal with, but the invasion of the underworld itself is a greater disaster than the disaster of the demon world. We may..."
Xuanwu's words were very tactful, but everyone understood that the divine beast might not be able to help much.
Wu Erqi was fine, he didn't count on them, but Lei Yi and the others really couldn't accept it.
"Let's hope the two disasters don't erupt simultaneously, so we can pool our strength to suppress them separately."
Xuanwu Baster himself did not believe what he said. He knew in his heart that even if Zhax had no involvement with the underworld, he would actively cooperate as long as he heard the news of the underworld invasion.
After Xuanwu finished speaking, he left. He was going to join other divine beasts to deal with the more difficult invasion of the underworld.
At Shixing, Dean marked the route of the underworld army on the star map and confirmed that the other party was not coming for him, and if nothing unexpected happened, it must be the Kalan galaxy.
Based on the principle that a man can only cheat himself and cannot be cheated by outsiders, Dean told the news to Shengguang Tianma, and he didn't care what Shengguang Tianma would do.
"I advise you to stay away from it."
Suddenly a voice was heard, and the person coming was the Demon of Destruction.
He took things as they came, knowing that he couldn't return to the Demon Realm for the time being, so he simply followed the Demon Lord's wishes and worked in the Obi organization first, and then returned to the Demon Realm when the time came.
"Demon God of Destruction, do you know their origins?"
"That is the army of the underworld, and the leader is probably the Underworld Emperor Shura. Even His Majesty is very afraid of his power."
"The Underworld... I once heard Wanmo Tianzun mention that you and the Underworld don't seem to have a good relationship."
"It's truly despicable! The Underworld is a bunch of lunatics who believe in death. Their behavior is even more perverse than ours. They've always wanted to annex our Demon Realm. If it weren't for the Demon Lord's diligent efforts and the Demon Realm's people's selfless dedication, the Demon Realm would have been annexed by the Underworld by now."
"The Underworld is actually stronger than your Demon Realm?"
The Demon God of Destruction suddenly wanted to laugh. Although he believed that the Demon Realm would eventually become the leader of all races in the universe, the power of the Demon Realm... was not that strong.
"In fact, one of the reasons for our existence in the Demon Realm is to check and balance the Underworld."
"Now that the Underworld has invaded the main universe, will your Demon Realm take action?"
"We're not stupid."
The Destroyer God said disdainfully, "The purpose of our existence is to balance the Underworld. This means that as long as we are there, the Underworld will have to be wary of the Demon World. It doesn't mean that the Demon World will actually confront the Underworld head-on."
Now it was Dean's turn to be speechless. This is how love works.
"Stay away. The Underworld is even more unreasonable than us. I know you're not a good person either. Since you've sucked enough blood from my demon world, just stay low-key and absorb nutrients to strengthen yourself. Stop trying to be a hero."
"Of course, if you insist on being a hero, I'd be happy to see you suffer, but I have to take my brothers and leave immediately."
"Don't worry, I'm not stupid. But if the underworld is really that dangerous, I can help those righteous people contact one or two. Signalman!"
"leader!"
The signalman came in quickly from outside and saluted.
"Notify Century Star Base and find a way to let Suzaku know about the invasion of the Underworld. I think the divine beasts Qilin and Suzaku have been blinded by hatred and have even forgotten their mission."
In fact, Dean wronged Qilin and Suzaku. After the invasion of the demon army, they received the news with some delay, but they still chose to give up revenge and go back to fight against the demon world.
But a certain villain suddenly took on the task of protecting the universe, causing the grand disaster in the demon world to be abruptly cut short. They didn't even have time to return before the demon world was already destroyed.
There were three other divine beasts who had the same experience as them. They originally just wanted to rescue the captured white tiger, but then they heard that the demon world had been taken care of by Dean.
In addition, they did indirectly let the Devil of Annihilation escape, so if yellow mud fell into your crotch, it would be shit anyway.
Soon after, the army of the underworld arrived at the Kalan galaxy, and a war was about to break out.
At this moment, Zhax, who had been silent for a while, finally showed his fangs. He decided on the most important place of reincarnation—
