However, Marianna reverted to her normal expression after seeing Lin Yun. Her eyes were as innocent as those of a baby, and she had cute teeth and a chubby face. She looked like a plump little girl. Anyone who saw her would think that she was cute, and wouldn’t be vigilant of her at all.
“Uncle Merlin, where have you been? I haven’t seen you in days. I’m starving…”
Lin Yun grinned and smiled. He then extended his hand, and squeezed Marianna’s chubby face.
“Should I call you Marianna or Del Rovana?”
Instantly, Marianna’s expression changed. She puffed her cheeks, and was about to spout a mouthful of gray air currents.
But immediately, she stiffened. Her body was out of her control, as if the weight of the entire world was on her shoulders.
Lin Yun squeezed Marianna’s little face with mockery.
“Kid, how much power of gods do you have left? Don’t waste it. Tell me, when did you awaken your memory?”
Marianna grimaced, and glared at Lin Yun, as if she was trying to break free. Lin Yun extended his finger, and tapped Marianna’s head, heaving a sigh.
“Stop struggling. You’re so weak right now that even I can suppress you. Also, as you must’ve realized, this is a Natural Demiplane that has been evolving well. The laws of earth, fire, water, and wind have fully evolved. This is already a real, complete world.
“Even the Raging Flame Plane suppressed you when you were still strong. If you are suppressed underneath this world right now, how do you think you will feel?” Lin Yun said jokingly, and Marianna couldn’t help but put on an expression of fear.
She had just been reborn forcefully, and she wasn’t even one-millionth as strong as in her prime years. If she was suppressed underneath a complete world, she would never be able to get out.
Time was as meaningless to real gods as it was to undead creatures. However, she was not a real god, but just a half beastman with a powerful bloodline. Even if she had retained some power of gods, it couldn’t allow her to live forever. She might have to age and die while she was suppressed by the world. That would surely be a miserable experience…
Lin Yun ignored Marianna, who was pretending to be scared. He grabbed her neck, and disappeared from the Demiplane.
Hardly had they left the Demiplane when Marianna started to struggle, and shouted, “Mafa Merlin, you wretched a*shole. Let go of me. I’m going to kill you…”
Unfortunately, her voice of a little girl wasn’t threatening at all. She only sounded as silly as Xiuban when she tried to be ferocious.
Marianna’s roar shocked Xiuban, who had been waiting at Lin Yun’s lab. He had nowhere to test the new Carnage ever since he obtained it. There were a lot of alchemy puppets in the Skeleton Plane, but he didn’t dare to practice with them. He didn’t dare to touch the vulnerable alchemists, either. Those who were strong enough to fight him could all beat him up easily…
Seeing Lin Yun walk out of the lab with Marianna, Xiuban’s eyes instantly widened, and he dashed forward, grimacing.
Accepting Marianna from Lin Yun’s hands, he pressed her on his leg without thinking, and smacked her butt with his big hand that was like a fan.
“You little jerk, you don’t know what courtesy means at all without some beating, right? You’ve learned swearing? Whom did you learn it from? How do you dare to yell at Sir Merlin? You deserve some proper beating…”
Xiuban smacked Marianna’s butt so brutally that she screamed all the time. Everybody who watched felt their eyes twitch. To think that Xiuban was spanking Marianna with his monstrous strength…
However, seeing that Marianna was still able to scream loudly and continue yelling, they gave up the idea of persuading him.
“Mafa Merlin, damn you, a*shole, I’m going to kill you, I’m going to throw your soul into the deepest part of the abyss. Ah…
“Damn you, stupid beastman, you’re as good as dead. I’m going to kill you first. Ah…”
While yelling, Marianna felt that Xiuban stopped. Thrilled, she quickly continued, “Stupid beastman, you’d better let go of me right now…”
She was enjoying cursing when she raised her head, only to see pity all over Lin Yun’s face. Enderfa had covered all of his three faces, as if he couldn’t bear watching it any longer. Reina, on the other hand, frowned, not showing any intention to help.
Lord Shawn grinned and watched, as if he were enjoying the drama.
“Xiuban, she’s your daughter, she’s your daughter…”
Xiuban’s eyes were flaming. He hadn’t really spanked Marianna seriously. Remembering how Lin Yun beat him up earlier, he thought it would be better if he was the one who did the punishment. But as for right now…
He simply took off Marianna’s skirt, and slapped her butt heavily, causing a red mark after each slap.
“You little jerk, you dare to yell at your father? I’m going to call you father today if I don’t beat you up!”
Xiuban gritted his teeth and smacked Marianna so hard that he didn’t stop even when Marianna’s butt turned red. Marianna seemed desperate.
“You little jerk, you’re still tough? I love tough little jerks like you…”
Pa, pa, pa…
After being smacked for several minutes, Marianna couldn’t hold any longer, and burst into tears of desperation. The Abyssal Overlord of the past was now being spanked by a stupid beastman.
Lin Yun heaved a sigh. Seeing the tears on Marianna’s face, he spoke to Xiuban, “Xiuban, Marianna is just a kid. You’ve spanked her for minutes…”
Lin Yun hadn’t even finished yet when Marianna sobbed, and yelled, “Mafa Merlin, you jerk, this isn’t over. This is none of your business. I’m going to kill you…”
Lin Yun’s face instantly darkened. He changed what he was going to say.
“…You must be tired. Take a break, and you may continue later.”
Xiuban was going to stop, but hearing that Marianna was yelling disobediently again, he became angry, and continued spanking.
“Little jerk, call him Uncle Merlin. Do you hear me? Call him Uncle Merlin, or I’m going to kill you today…”
Snap!
“Call him Uncle Merlin!”
Snap!
After being spanked a dozen times, Marianna finally became desperate. With a miserable expression on her face, she gnashed her teeth.
“Uncle Merlin…”
Snap!
“Little jerk, is there something in your mouth that’s blocking your tongue? Be clearer. You little jerk, you dare to steal food. You won’t be given any food in the next three days!”
After being spanked a few more times, Marianna finally gave in, and cried with tears all over her face.
“Uncle Merlin…”
Snap!
“Little jerk, call me dad!”
“Stupid beastman, I’m going to kill you! I’m going to kill you! I’m going to kill you!”
Pa, pa, pa…
“Little jerk, call me dad, I’m going to beat you to death today if you don’t!”
After being watched for a minute, Marianna finally couldn’t hold any longer. She called dad in humiliation.
After she did, Xiuban delightedly put her down on the ground, and petted her with his hand that was even bigger than her head.
“Little jerk, be courteous. If you dare to yell again, I’m going to beat you up one more time!”
Marianna helplessly and desperately looked up at Xiuban, who was feeling proud of himself. She did not know what to say.
Lin Yun approached with a smile, and squeezed Marianna’s cheeks.
“Marianna, be a good girl and listen to my words, or I will let your father beat you up.”
Marianna glared at Lin Yun, gnashing her teeth. Lin Yun smiled, and didn’t say anything.
Xiuban took Marianna away for food. Finally, Enderfa approached with three weird expressions. Looking at Marianna, whom Xiuban was holding, he seemed rather scared.
“Has Marianna regained her memory? Xiuban probably doesn’t know anything yet, does he? Or maybe he’s too dumb to understand what it means at all, isn’t he?”
Lin Yun was in a good mood. Marianna had regained some of her memory, but it was impossible for her to do anything. Being spanked by Xiuban was definitely the most humiliating thing for the Abyssal Overlord from the past.
Judging from the desperation on Marianna’s face a moment earlier, she probably wished that she had died. There was nothing she could do to turn things around. Xiuban could be given a new title in the future: Marianna’s Bane…
Lord Shawn walked close quietly and grinned gloatingly.
“Hey, I won’t dare to take advantage of Xiuban as easily in the future. After all, he’s the Abyssal Overlord’s father right now. Haha…”
Marianna, who had dropped her disobedience, ate three bulls on her own as if they were her mortal enemies. She was then thrown away into the Demiplane. She couldn’t possibly cause any disaster there anyway. Lin Yun had no time for her just yet. He would rather leave her alone for now. She wouldn’t answer any question obediently anyway.
All preparations were done. The Gilded Rose, taking advantage of the accident in the Leviathan Plane, recruited more than 500 alchemists from the Starry Sky College. Those alchemists had all successfully graduated from the Starry Sky College. All of them were Great Alchemists or above. There were even more than 30 Master Alchemists.
After they joined the team, the Gilded Rose was almost the biggest alchemy store in the north of the Odin Kingdom. No other stores could possibly compete with the Gilded Rose in terms of potions. With such an advantage, it would be easy to march to the south of the Odin Kingdom.
In the center of the Odin Kingdom, a space gate to the Leviathan Plane had been constructed by a few major forces. That wasn’t exactly the same as everybody agreed upon.
At this moment, anyone was free to enter the Leviathan Plane and join the war. No matter how strong or weak they were, they could go to the frontline through the gate.
When Lin Yun reached the center of Odin, he found that the previously dilapidated city had become a most prosperous one. Everybody here was at least an Archmage. They were all going to enter the Leviathan Plane for opportunities.
There would always be copious returns in any war. Not only could they acquire materials that were rare in Noscent from fighting the undead creatures, but they could also occupy more territory. The Leviathan Plane had been used as a resource plane for years. It hadn’t been excavated as crazily as Noscent, and was much richer in resources.
Lin Yun didn’t leave with the main troops, so he had to enter the Leviathan Plane here.
He entered the city with Xiuban and Reina. He saw people everywhere, including mages, swordsmen, archers, alchemists, and even many forest elves and unusual races. Lin Yun wasn’t surprised at all to see them here. When they had been discussing the plan of counterattack, the forest elves’ king had been there as a representative of the boundless forest.
There were two fixed space gates on the two sides of the city. One was for those below the Heaven Rank. People had to wait in line to pass this time. After all, a space gate’s rate of teleportation was limited.
The other space gate was for Heaven Rank experts.
When Lin Yun arrived with Xiuban and Reina, the space gate happened to be idle, and only two Heaven Rank experts were guarding it.
After confirming his identity, the two Heaven Rank guards opened the space gate. Lin Yun then crossed the silver gate of light with Xiuban and Reina, and disappeared.
After Lin Yun disappeared, one of the guards suddenly sneered, and tore the corner of a scroll that was a meter long. He then threw it into the space gate, and closed it.
In the twisted world of light, Lin Yun flew along with the light together with Xiuban and Reina. Suddenly, Lin Yun turned around, and saw that the light behind him was fading away. It seemed that the path of light was dispersing, and a spot of silver light was catching up to him.
In only one second, the spot of light had disappeared, replaced by a vintage scroll of human skin, which slowly opened. On the scroll were a lot of curses and prayers written in blood.
“Damn it, bloody prayers…”
Lin Yun changed his expression. It was impossible to open his Demiplane in this place. He spouted a space rune. Then, the scroll of human skin vanished in the glow. The whole world instantly turned into one of pure white light.
The space rune let Lin Yun navigate in the world of boundless light like a compass. After a long time, the world suddenly turned dark, and the space rippled a little bit. Then, the environment completely changed.
A blue sky, a green land, and floating islands of different sizes in the sky. The world was peaceful, with a drizzle from the sky that covered the floating islands in a vague mist. It could vaguely be seen that many birds were flying among the islands.
“The Floating Meadow of the Leviathan Plane…”
The moment he saw the meadow, Lin Yun realized where he was. He released a few detection spells, but didn’t find Xiuban or Reina. He put on an awful expression.
The Bloody Prayers were the Holy Light Alliance’s ultimate magic tools. They were as difficult to make as a top True Spirit Magic Tool was. Also, they required rare materials too.
The skin of the scroll had to belong to the purest holy light mage who offered it willingly. Only in such a way would the material be pure and hate-free.
The blood had to be from a Fallen Angel. The blood required to write such a scroll meant that a Fallen Angel had to be killed.
More importantly, the souls of 666 virgins were needed…
Only in such a way could the scroll of bloody prayers be created. Considering the ability of the scroll, it was an exile scroll that would banish all lives to the boundless world of light.
It was actually similar to the regular exile spell. The only difference was that the exiled would never be able to find their way.
If they were exiled while passing through a space gate, it would remain unknown where they would end up. They might get stranded in the dark void, but they would see nothing but infinite light, and could never return.
If he hadn’t navigated the way himself with a space law rune, and arrived in the Leviathan Plane with the remaining power of the space gate, it would’ve been hard to say what would’ve happened…
However, he had lost contact with Xiuban and Reina. There was no telling where they were. The only thing that was certain was that they were safe for now.
There was no telling how strong Reina was, but she could certainly run away in the Leviathan Plane. Xiuban, having acquired the new Carnage, could hardly be killed, unless he encountered another Fred.
Lin Yun slowly landed on a floating island with a gloomy expression.
The rabid dogs of the Holy Light Alliance had to have learned something. Or maybe, the rabid dogs didn’t know what happened at all, and simply wanted to kill him…
It was impossible for the Holy Light Alliance to know what had happened in the underground world, because no information could’ve passed through the blockage of the power of gods.
If they hadn’t set up a trap for him because of what happened, then they had surely done it for the Leviathan Plane.
There were two space gates, and one of them was for the Heaven Rank experts. However, apparently not all the Heaven Rank experts deserved the bloody prayers.
