Barrier of Light

Mu Wanqiu fell silent for a moment.

There was no flaw in Gu Shen's explanation.

In fact, regarding Gu Shen's identity...she actually had a very firm answer in her heart. She was able to know the information about the "River of Styx" and was able to save herself from the cursed dream of the Holy Judge.

How could such a person have nothing to do with Pluto?

But the identity she doubted the most was so fanciful... that she couldn't even express it.

If she really had to ask: "Are you the King of Hades?"

I'm afraid Mu Wanqiu himself feels that he is a lunatic.

"You have to keep this dream a secret for me."

He hesitated for a moment.

Mu Wanqiu's tone was slightly softer, and she rarely used a pleading tone.

"good."

Gu Shen smiled slightly and agreed without any thought.

He wasn't wrong.

Mu Wanqiu is the apostle of Hades...

This sentence sounded completely different to Mu Wanqiu than to Pluto in his dream.

The old king of Hades is gone.

Now, he is the new Pluto!

After severely injuring Meng Xiao at the bottom of the Styx, Gu Shen vaguely guessed the secret behind the selection of [Apostles] by the God of Light. Extraordinary people who could be favored by the City of Light in Xizhou had a high probability of carrying the blood of the [Immortal].

Obviously, although the power of the divine throne is powerful, it also needs a carrier.

If you choose [Apostles] at will, even with the blessing of divine power, you may not be able to gain an advantage in a battle with [Apostles] of the same level.

Thinking about it carefully, the [Apostles] I have encountered, except for Iron Five, all seem to conform to this rule... Qin Ye, the [Apostle] of the Sky Throne, has abilities related to space, while the Queen's [Apostle] Azha'er has abilities related to space. It can manipulate ice and snow, which is obviously compatible with the furnace.

Since the City of Light selects [Apostles] from the undead.

So Pluto...how should we choose?

Gu Shen didn't know the answer to this question, but the answer wasn't important, because a ready-made, extremely suitable "candidate" was right in front of him.

It was Mu Wanqiu.

If Pluto must have an [apostle], then the most suitable candidate is Mu Wanqiu.

[Judge]'s ability is almost born for his own pure land.

Mu Wanqiu can strip the lives of low-level creatures in the domain with just one thought, and his pure land can accept a large number of souls of the dead.

In addition, Mu Wanqiu's spirit is also extremely consistent with the Hell Fire... The huge ghost figure [Judge] floating behind her at the moment, after taking the wisp of fire from her, couldn't put it down, tossing it back and forth and playing with it. Willing to let go.

"Shameful."

Mu Wanqiu glanced at the unhappy judge and spat angrily.

The tall ghost was a little aggrieved by this scolding, and reluctantly closed its hand, but it just didn't throw it away. After receiving Gu Shen's eyes, it excitedly hugged this small wisp of fire in its arms. , like finding a treasure.

"What...are you?"

Seeing this scene, Mu Wanqiu sighed softly.

She no longer wanted to hide her inner curiosity.

At this moment, it didn't matter whether Gu Shen wanted to answer or not.

She has to ask.

"I?"

Gu Shen rubbed his chin, thought for a moment, and then said in a long voice: "I am Hades..."

Mu Wanqiu held her breath.

"The [Apostle]."

Gu Shen finished speaking completely.

This sentence almost made Mu Wanqiu anxious to death.

"No wonder Guangming City wants to hunt you down."

Part of the doubts in her heart were solved, but there were other confusions: "Pluto is really alive, why didn't he show up? Has he already accepted the [Apostles] in Dongzhou?"

"How can ordinary people speculate on the actions of God? As far as I know, Pluto has other [apostle] candidates."

Gu Shen stretched out his palm in a handshake gesture and said calmly: "In a sense, everyone is working for Pluto... In terms of camp, you don't have to worry, I won't expose your secrets."

Mu Wanqiu shook hands with Gu Shen.

Gu Shen's answer dispelled the last doubts in her mind.

Mu Wanqiu murmured softly when she saw the corpses in the corner.

"These people are all 'Holy Judges'... It's hard to imagine that they will become such existences after death."

The hall returned to darkness.

Those "bloody pupils" swept around, and after not feeling the "outsiders", they gradually dissipated and returned to tranquility again. Over the years, they have harbored the resentment of falling into the River Styx, looking for future generations. The person who supports you.

Before the Stygian Dream.

Mu Wanqiu didn't have any feelings of disgust towards the extraordinary beings in Guangming City, but just indifference.

Because she knew so little.

She was born in Beizhou. After joining the Survey Corps, she traveled outside the Great Wall all year round. She knew very little about the conflicts and disputes within the Five Continents... Because of her extraordinary talent, she was rated as having "S-level" potential early on. The Legion Commander and Lu Zhe protected her even more closely.

A genius like her only needs to be responsible for training and tempering.

The game between the five continents has not yet reached the stage where she needs to understand it. In the future, when Mu Wanqiu truly fulfills his "S-level" talent and becomes a title-holder, she will naturally know about the ups and downs between the major forces in the five continents. .

And at that time, what she had to do was more than just "understanding".

As a strong person in Beizhou, she needs to intervene in some big events and express her attitude.

But now, it's different.

Mu Wanqiu had heard of the "Holy Judges" of Xizhou. This was an organization of extraordinary beings famous across the five continents. They believed in the God of Light. Almost every Holy Judge was a devotee who was willing to sacrifice everything for Guangming City.

This is somewhat similar to Beizhou's extraordinary legions who believe in the Queen.

It's just that the number of Holy Judges is sparse, far less than that of legions.

And their actions are even more extreme.

It is said that the Holy Judges are iron-blooded, decisive, and well-organized... Because they are believers in the throne of light, they claim to be the embodiment of light and the enforcers of justice.

But seeing is worth hearing a hundred times. The "Holy Judge" Mu Wanqiu saw greatly overturned his previous understanding.

She was dragged into the dream by the Holy Judge.

Through that nightmare, she saw the unrecorded history of annihilation on this side.

These "Holy Judges" took the initiative to attack the Hades Palace and provoke a war.

Inspired by the "Dream of the Styx", Mu Wanqiu has developed a good impression of "King of Hades"... In other words, the appeal of this Styx River is developing this extraordinary person with compatible personalities into a Quasi-apostle.

Naturally, she put herself on the receiving end of the attack!

The disgust towards the Holy Judge of Guangming City... also arose spontaneously.

Actually.

In Gu Shen's view, whether it is the Holy Judge or Pluto, they are just two opposing camps. There is never absolute "light" and "justice". The winner is the king and the loser is nothing more than this.

These "Holy Judges" who fell into the River Styx are more pitiable than hateful.

Gu Shen felt that the "fall" of these people was closely related to the God of Light...

It's obviously a divine battle.

But he had to activate the Holy Judge and let his followers attack Hades first.

In the battle between gods, the impact of this level of impact is too small, insignificant... Gu Shen cannot see through the reason why the God of Light behaves like this. The biggest possibility he can think of is that the God of Light is doing his best. He hopes that Pluto will do his best. Contaminated with bad "karma".

Kill these Judges.

The River Styx will naturally bear the karma of killing creatures.

Although this River of Styx was built by Hades to do this kind of thing.

But after being contaminated by Karma, the God of Light can justifiably come forward to avenge his followers openly and defeat the Temple of Hades...

certainly.

Gu Shen didn't know what exactly happened that year.

Like Mu Wanqiu, he could only understand part of the history through the souls of these holy judges. The complete course of this war was still shrouded in fog.

For Gu Shen, the reason for choosing to continue hiding his identity as Pluto at this moment is very simple.

Not only because he is weak and cannot hold up the crown of the throne of God.

What's more, Mu Wanqiu is not yet a qualified apostle.

Gu Shen knew very well what kind of existence the former Pluto was.

The labyrinth supports golden spikes.

The River Styx is buried beneath the ground in Beizhou.

The guy shrouded in the shadow of the River Styx is simply a madman who has "lost his mind". Everything he does is to cultivate souls and create an eternal and immortal army of the undead.

What's worse is... Mu Wanqiu at this moment was infected by the Styx dream.

She has great respect for the "Pluto" shrouded in fog.

She is like another "golden flower".

Gu Shen wanted to ensure that the "Dream of the Styx" gradually dissipated in Mu Wanqiu's spiritual sea and would not give her wrong guidance... He did not want to see the evil thoughts left by Pluto inducing a super genius like Mu Wanqiu. Falling into killing.

The light of Guangming City may not be the only light.

The darkness of the Styx is not the real darkness.

We are both fires, and the meaning of our existence is to bring hope for the future of mankind.

From the moment Gu Shen took over the "Pluto's Fire", he never felt that his power was dark or evil.

"These Holy Inquisitors should have died. They are wandering around the world with resentment, which is a bit pitiful..."

Gu Shen spoke softly: "Letting them disappear like this might be a good ending."

Mu Wanqiu was slightly startled.

After experiencing the previous nightmare, when she saw these corpses, there was a ray of anger lingering in her heart, but after Gu Shen spoke, the ray of anger dissipated a lot.

She nodded slowly and asked, "Do you have a way to let them rest in peace?"

rest in peace……

Gu Shen looked around.

In fact, the souls of these people are already very fragile after suffering torture.

They bear the curse of Pluto and cannot withstand too much torture.

Logically speaking, as long as you find the "backer", you can rest in peace.

But he and Mu Wanqiu are both "our own people".

These bloody pupils will not rekindle on them.

Wait a minute...

There are more than just myself and Mu Wanqiu in this place.

"I have a way to let them rest in peace." Gu Shen narrowed his eyes and whispered: "Aren't these 'Holy Judges' looking for someone to support them? In this damn place, besides us, there is another person who is very suitable!"

"Meng Xiao!"

Mu Wanqiu looked a little strange: "Is this...sending them to rest in peace?"

"No."

Gu Shen looked around and said with a cold smile: "I'm sending them off to rest with him!"
