Chapter 577 - Another Cemetery of Death
GDK 577: Another Cemetery of Death
“Dead?” Bechymos’s unmasked deep green eyes shone with stunned disbelief. Staring intently at Han Shuo, he asked, “You killed them?”
Han Shuo looked at him suggestively and replied, “That’s right! I killed them all!”
Han Shuo had previously learned from Leviathan and Manticole that Bechymos was the first Demon King of the Abyss realm to attain godhood. Bechymos was enigmatic and mysterious. He would rank top among the five Abyssal Great Demon Kings, possessing strength that far outstripped the other four. However, the most puzzling thing about Bechymos was that he kept a much lower profile than the other four Demon Kings. Given his strength, he could easily snatch up the most believers through struggles and conflict, yet, he did not do so.
The four Demon Kings had actually learned of this place called the Void from Bechymos. He would venture alone by himself, not taking a single Demon along. All these actions left an impression on Han Shuo that this man was very mysterious and strange.
As such, the moment Bechymos had landed in front of him, Han Shuo concentrated his full attention on sensing the presence emanating from Bechymos, sensing his might through the aura of destruction enveloping him.
Although they were all in the realm of lowgod, they could still possess different levels of strength. Bechymos, who cultivated in the edict of destruction, must have stayed in the realm of lowgod for quite some time. From his body, Han Shuo sensed power much mightier than any single one of the four Demon Kings.
It was at this moment that Han Shuo finally understood why the four greedy Demon Kings had never dared trespass upon Bechymos’ territory and respected his wish to be left alone.
Power had decided it all!
As Han Shuo was sizing up Bechymos, the strongest and most ancient Demon King of the Abyss realm, Bechymos’ astonished green eyes were gathered on Han Shuo as well, secretly trying to get a glimpse of where Han Shuo’s strength stood.
Bechymos had far greater familiarity with the Void than the other Demon Kings. In the fog-heavy valleys, he carefully avoided many boundaries, flying towards his destination along a path he had carved out himself.
After flying for a short while, Han Shuo noticed that the path that Bechymos had carved out was much longer than those of the two factions of Demon Kings combined. He was a little surprised, but then remembered that it was Bechymos who revealed the Void to the other four Demon Kings. Those four had been to the Void three times. As the oldest Demon King, Bechymos must have ventured to this place many times more. As he thought of that, Han Shuo grew even more curious about Bechymos.
Just as Han Shuo was internally marveling at Bechymos’ mysteriousness, he suddenly sensed Bechymos coming to a stop. His figure flashed through the dense mist, and Han Shuo stood shoulder to shoulder with Bechymos.
“Watch out! Not a step forward!” Bechymos’ voice suddenly sounded. When he saw that Han Shuo made no other movements, he pointed his finger at the area before them and said, “This is the interplanar transportation matrix of the Abyss realm. It is in great disrepair. Due to the death of the planar guardian, no one knows how to use it.” When Han Shuo did not reply, Bechymos couldn’t help but look at him in curiosity, and immediately saw that Han Shuo’s expression was full of shock and disbelief. Bechymos then said, “This is the interplanar transportation matrix you are looking for!”
Bechymos hesitated for a moment. When he saw the unusual change in Han Shuo’s eyes, he suddenly became rather emotional. His voice was mild and gentle as he asked shakily, “You… you know this transportation matrix?”
The ground was covered with white bones, strange drawings of high-level undead creatures all over the ancient, broken walls. Desolation, silence, and darkness filled the structure before them, more than half of which were destroyed.
This was another Cemetery of Death!
How could Han Shuo not recognize it? Although this Cemetery of Death only had one wall left and did not have the mysterious chamber that led a few levels below ground, it still had a mostly intact enormous transportation matrix.
Han Shuo, whose heart was crammed with astonishment, did not notice the change in Bechymos’ voice and nodded, saying with certainty, “Of course I recognize it. Hah, didn’t expect this, but this really is a Cemetery of Death!”
At those words, Bechymos’ green eyes were full of strong emotions and he hastily asked, “Then, do you know how to activate this interplanar transportation matrix?”
Han Shuo was rather surprised, as this time he had detected something else in Bechymos’ voice. The powerful emotions had made Bechymos’ voice become less hoarse, even elegant, as though… that was the voice of a woman.
“You… you’re female?” After staring blankly for a while, Han Shuo asked with some disbelief.
“No!” Bechymos resolutely denied with his voice restoring its original raspiness. He stared coldly at Han Shuo and again asked, “You, can you activate this transportation matrix?”
“I won’t know until I try,” Han Shuo answered after thinking for a moment.
“Then go ahead and try, I’ll wait here!” Bechymos seemed impatient.
Han Shuo was rather puzzled. He noticed that from the moment he showed recognition of the dilapidated Cemetery of Death, Bechymos started to act rather strangely. Not only did Bechymos’ hoarse voice suddenly become more refined as a result of that agitation, but even his aloofness, his apparent indifference to everything, had greatly changed.
Han Shuo understood that Bechymos was greatly concerned with that transportation matrix before them!
He hesitated for a moment and asked, “You need to use this transportation matrix?”
Bechymos kept silent for a long long while. His green eyes full of complicated emotions. Finally, he nodded coldly and answered in that hoarse voice, “Yes, I want to go home!”
