183: The shadow of truth!

"Gate of Hell?"

Mitsui Satoshi felt a slight disdain in his heart, the smile on his lips not yet forming an arc.

Freeze!

Time within the entire room completely froze.

Even the light waves from the TV screen were completely still at this moment, and Maggus, who had transformed into an image, naturally couldn't move either.

One second.

That was the god ring's usage limit in the outside world.

But once it was used, how long would that one second actually be?

That was up to Lin Ye's Space-Time Power.

"I originally intended to leave you alive, but your ability is too dangerous."

Lin Ye came to Mitsui Satoshi, grabbing his throat with one hand.

Whoosh~

Candle Soul Flame ignited in Lin Ye's palm.

In an instant.

Mitsui Satoshi's soul was ignited by the Candle Soul Flame.

Genuine Hell product.

Ten times compensation for fakes!

Extreme torture.

Absolute pain.

But Mitsui Satoshi couldn't make even the slightest sound; only his soul, within the Candle Soul Flame, twisted in agony, despaired to madness, and collapsed to the point of wishing for death...

"So, a soul can slightly break free from certain time control?"

Lin Ye made a new discovery, but it was also fortunate that he acted decisively enough.

Otherwise.

With the opponent's strong soul power, he might really have found a way to escape during the action.

He turned his head.

And looked at the TV screen again.

"You said a thousand years, and I probably remember now. Back then, my enemies were only of two kinds."

"Are you from Hell?"

"You look like it."

"But your strength is too weak; you shouldn't be the Dark Demon Lord, so... you can only be that... what was it called... from the Moon Shadow Kingdom?"

Lin Ye thought for a moment.

"Starlight Guardian, Maggus... right?"

"Tsk!"

"I had planned to deal with this flaw of yours before leaving, but a small accident occurred."

Lin Ye always paid attention to complete annihilation in his actions.

The issue with Maggus was indeed overlooked.

No choice.

His strength was very ordinary; he probably had no hope of becoming a Saint, he was just a bit insidious.

But Lin Ye overlooked an important point.

That was time.

As long as Maggus was alive, he was an enemy, and he was at Legendary Peak; as long as he didn't die, he would always have a chance to become a Saint.

Moreover.

After the Hell War ended, a large number of Moon Shadow Saints fell.

His chances were much greater than before.

Even if his evil was exposed, no one might be able to stop him.

Over a long period of time.

If he found some method of eternal life, he could gradually gain terrifying power.

eternal life was difficult elsewhere.

But within eternal, there were various methods, so to speak...

Physical, magical, bodily, soulful.

Pick your poison.

An immortal enemy would always be a threat.

Lin Ye didn't care about his method of eternal life; he just wanted to know how he managed to cross realms.

"You look a bit different; you used to be somewhat handsome."

Lin Ye mused.

"This face... it belongs to that Vice President, Chrono, right?"

Lin Ye hadn't remembered just now because his face and voice didn't match; now he finally understood.

"After I left, you gained soul-related abilities, hmm... and a rather special kind."

Lin Ye had no means of interrogation.

If Vera Diya were here, it would be great.

Her dream ability was perfect for interrogating souls.

As for releasing the time freeze?

That wouldn't work either.

The opponent's ability was too unique.

The moment time was released, he might escape.

Even now.

Lin Ye wasn't sure if he could completely kill this guy.

How do you kill a shadow that exists inside a TV?

Candle Soul Flame was the only way.

If the god ring had a few more seconds of time...

Lin Ye would 100% choose Ultimate Arrow; that effect of complete obliteration should be the most reliable.

"Not good, time's up..."

Bang!

Just before the time ended, Lin Ye slapped the TV, and the Candle Soul Flame instantly ignited.

Whoosh~

Maggus's figure indeed possessed a soul; the Candle Soul Flame burned much more fiercely than it had on Mitsui Satoshi just now.

Clearly.

His soul power was stronger, and more to the Candle Soul Flame's liking.

Time freeze.

Lifted.

Maggus was still not dead, but he was writhing in agony inside the TV.

His shadow, carrying the Candle Soul Flame, darted from the TV to the bathroom mirror, then to the window, the glass, and even the teacup on the table...

Any place with a shadow was his escape route.

But.

No matter where he went, the Candle Soul Flame would follow.

Bang bang bang bang!

All objects in the room with reflective surfaces, capable of reflecting light or retaining shadows, shattered into pieces.

"Time Knight... Lin Ye...!!!"

"I... I will definitely not let you go, never~!"

Amidst angry roars, Maggus completely burned away in the water stains on the floor.

Lin Ye's lips curved into a smile, and he said, "Don't worry, if you're lucky enough to survive this time, then we'll meet again very soon."

Maggus's ability was too unique.

Shadow?

And he could even cross realms to reality.

This matter must be dealt with!

And it must be ensured that it's dealt with cleanly, 100%.

It's hard to do now.

Then go back a thousand years.

Lin Ye was already going to send Moon Yao back, so he might as well deal with it along the way.

Actually...

Today's sneak attack was truly terrifying upon closer thought.

The cooperation between Mitsui Satoshi and Maggus was truly a combination that could sweep through everything in reality; as long as they didn't come looking for him, and as long as they didn't provoke Ex in North America, they could pretty much run rampant across the globe.

No one could stop them.

An NPC, and an NPC from a thousand years ago, could actually actively cross realms to reality?

This was something that had never been considered before.

No.

Ever since Ex pulled that theological stunt in North America, Lin Ye had actually thought about it, but he subconsciously blocked out the idea.

No other reason.

It was dangerous.

People always subconsciously block out dangerous options.

An evil entity like Maggus crossing into reality was very dangerous.

Then, may I ask.

Is a 'righteous' entity like a god crossing into reality not dangerous?

No!

That would only be more dangerous.

Lin Ye now had the god ring in hand; no matter what, he had means of self-preservation.

Let the opponent be a god!

After all.

With a god ring in hand, one always had some confidence.

Next...

He must go to the Starry Sea.

The quest chain that Lin Ye had been putting off, which he hadn't started, now had to be activated.

By himself.

He probably wouldn't be enough to contend with a god in the short term.

Let alone two gods.

One light, one dark.

All mortal enemies.

This...

Lin Ye was also completely helpless.

The advantages and disadvantages of hundred-fold returns were equally outrageous.

Oh, right.

He also had to add the Alliance of Gods!

Maggus?

He... wouldn't be from True Shadow, would he?

Lin Ye thought carefully.

He realized that this was the only possibility.

Only True Shadow could have contacted Mitsui Satoshi at this point in time.

Did Maggus possess Chrono's body before I left, or after?

After!

If it was before, then he would have had the best chance to ambush me in the Royal Capital.

After all, my combat power was still relatively low back then.

But with resurrection and time abilities, it wouldn't have truly caused an accident anyway.

"Where is he?"

As Oriental Pride Snow entered, she only saw the burning Candle Soul Flame.

"Stop!"

Lin Ye ordered, then mused:

"Hellfire is not something to joke about with you; just wait outside!"

Hiss~

Oriental Pride Snow couldn't help but gasp: "Is it... is it over now?"
