Who hid My Corpse!

As long as...

Abek slightly narrowed his eyes.

The magic power he emitted detected something.

Sure enough, there's something there.

Just as he thought that, a cluster of vines closest to him suddenly started to tremble, and a shadow emerged from it, instantly lunging at Abek.

So fast!

Abek showed a surprised expression and before he could react, the shadow bit his neck.

"Ahhh!!"

He only had time to let out a scream before his neck was bitten off brutally.

Blood splattered, spraying onto that monstrous face bearing seven or eight mouths.

The monstrous face bit Abek's neck, and the other mouths shouted in unison.

"Visas!"

"Visas!"

"Visas!"

Then these mouths opened wide, squeezing out all other facial features, leaving only rows of dense fangs as if to swallow Abek whole.

But at that moment, the blood that spattered from Abek turned from red to black, as if infected, and his entire being turned into a mass of pitch-black mud in an instant.

"Huh?"

The monstrous face tilted its head, clearly not understanding what had just happened.

But immediately, a surge of immense heat erupted from the black mud.

With a "boom".

The black mud exploded.

The monstrous face and the body made of countless remnants beneath it were shattered to pieces, scattering around and twitching incessantly.

Only then did Abek emerge from the other side, frowning deeply at the monster before him.

"What the hell is this creature?" he murmured softly.

As soon as he spoke, the surrounding bushes trembled once more.

His expression changed slightly, then he scanned all around.

One, two, three, four.

Four stitched-together monsters, almost identical to the previous one, crawled out of the woods, with mouths on their palms, above their eyes, and beneath their feet.

They spoke in unison.

"Visas!"

"Visas!"

"Visas!"

Countless eyes fixed on Abek.

To be exact, they stared at Abek's mouth, watching the teeth in his mouth.

Abek's frown deepened, and the previous feeling of unease surged again.

Just what are these things?

Why do they know he carries a piece of Visas's corpse? And know exactly which part?

Before Abek could figure it out, something even more surprising happened.

The remnants he had just blasted started twitching rapidly, as if regaining vitality.

As Abek watched, these remnants quickly gathered together, and those mouths across them began swallowing the completely shattered flesh, "gulping" as they chewed.

Then, with visible speed, new flesh began growing where they had been damaged!

Before long, it "returned to its original state" and, together with the other four monsters, shouted in unison, "Visas."

Abek was stunned.

What the hell are these things?!

No one could answer him, and after regrouping, the monsters charged at Abek again.

And Abek revealed a fierce expression.

Don't think this will scare him to death.

He planted the magic wand into the muddy ground and formed a hand seal.

If a priest of the Rhein was here, they'd be utterly shocked.

Because this is...

"Rhein!"

With a loud shout, Abek was enveloped in holy light descending from above.

Rhein Divine Skill!

He, Abek.

Had accumulated knowledge over more than a decade with this tooth, mastering divine arts of various sects effortlessly.

A bizarre group of monsters trying to defeat him was simply...

"Hiss" sound.

Abek's eyes widened.

Because he saw those monsters easily tearing through the Rhein holy light.

"How is that possible!?"

...

Vic suddenly turned his head to look back.

"What is it?" Bai Wei asked.

Vic turned his head back and scratched his head: "I just felt like I heard someone shouting."

"Oh?" Bai Wei raised an eyebrow, "What are you shouting about?"

"I don't know."

"Shouting 'I don't know'?"

"No, I mean... I don't know." Vic said, "It's too far, I can't hear clearly... but it might also be a hallucination because I didn't smell anything."

"I see." Bai Wei shrugged, "Then it's just your illusion, don't worry about it. You must have been drowsy. Let's keep going forward."

"...Oh."

Vic quickly stepped forward.

They had been walking on this path for a while, and during this time, Bai Wei would occasionally ask him if he remembered anything.

And his answer was always no, he remembered nothing.

Speaking of which, Vic felt a bit strange.

Although he couldn't remember anything, he was certain that this was the path he walked before, and everything on this path felt very familiar to him.

But still, he couldn't remember anything, so he could only continue following Bai Wei forward.

Oddly enough, although Bai Wei was here for the first time too, he seemed familiar with everything, even leading the way.

"Speaking of which." Bai Wei suddenly spoke, "Have you ever thought about a question?"

"Hmm?" Vic didn't react immediately, "What question?"

Bai Wei spoke leisurely, "What would a god become after death?"

"Uh?" Vic was a bit puzzled, "Dead is dead, what could they become?"

"Why not?" Bai Wei said with a smile, "If it's a human or animal, after dying, the body rots, the soul disappears. Would a god's body rot after death? Would their soul disappear?"

Vic had never thought about it from this angle, and he instinctively wanted to answer, "What's the difference?"

But then he quickly remembered what Ryan told him that night.

The God of Senluo attempted to resist death and failed.

If a god's death is just like a human's, then what was the God of Senluo resisting? MVLEMPYR is the home of this chapter

Vic found this question profound, compelling him to think deeply.

But the more he thought about it, the more it made his head hurt, leaving him no answers as if it was beyond his capability.

So, after scratching his head, he chose to ask Bai Wei directly, "So what would a god become after death?"

Bai Wei chuckled speechlessly, "Obviously, I was asking you."

"Oh... right."

Seeing Vic's dumbfounded look, Bai Wei just shook his head with a smile and said, "Obsessions."

"What?"

"I said, obsessions." Bai Wei said, "Existences as powerful as deities theoretically can attain eternal life. When they are forced to face death, it's often with resentment, and this resentment often turns into strong obsessions."

Vic was a bit confused, "Can obsessions be strong too?"

"Yes." Bai Wei chuckled softly, "They can be very strong indeed."

...

These bastards!

Abek fought on, growing more furious.

These monsters seemed impossible to kill!

Rhein's Divine Arts, Lyra's Chorus Magic, all kinds of means from Abek... yet these monsters just wouldn't die!

Sliced apart, they could be sewn back together; crushed, they could be pieced back together.

Again and again, again and again!

What exactly is it that sustains these monsters?!

In this exceedingly unfair struggle, Abek was already covered in wounds.

He knew he couldn't drag it out any longer, so he steeled his gaze.

If that's the case, he'll have to use his trump card.

As another monster charged at him, Abek reached out his hand.

The hand immediately transformed into a wolf's, and the massive wolf's mouth clamped onto the monster's body.

But instead of tearing it apart with the wolf's head, Abek pulled it close and opened his own mouth, biting down hard.

The teeth belonging to Visas easily bit into the monster's flesh.

He swallowed another mouthful.

He didn't want to do this initially, because these creatures didn't look edible at all.

But he couldn't be concerned with that now.

Come on!

With a mouth full of blood, Abek shouted: "Let me see what the hell you are!"

In an instant, countless images surged into his mind.

The burning sky.

The shattered Divine Country.

The mountainous body shattering thunderously, drifting like goose feathers, burning.

At the end of it all was a blurred figure.

Despair, anger, fear.

All the negative emotions surged below the shadow of the sky, turning into a name.

That name is...

...

"Ahhhhh!"

Abek roared in agony.

In the next second, his head exploded.
