A steel skull hung above the gates of the abyss, its crimson sparks dancing in its empty eye sockets appearing dull and lifeless against the dazzling golden light.

The surrounding flames, like a swarm of disturbed snakes, retreated into the ground and fell silent upon feeling the golden light.

The blessings of the goddess of abundance are upon you.

[The Queen of the Underworld, "???", has already taken you into her sights.]

Your health and mana regeneration speed increased by 250%.

Victor stretched out his other hand horizontally and tore a rift in the void at the center of the scorching space.

His arm reached in, as if retrieving a jet-black staff from another world, its tip adorned with a golden bird's head.

The magic within his body flowed along the staff and merged into the golden bird head.

The bird's eyes burst forth with dazzling golden light, and behind it, a phantom golden scale swayed slowly in the air.

The scales of justice are weighing this fair contest.

The gods are beginning to suspect you are also one of her henchmen, and their anger is burning.

The underworld has taken a keen interest in your destiny.

You have been assigned the following status:

[Magic power reduced by 35% - Magic power increased by 35%]

[Strength reduced by 35% - Strength increased by 35%]

Because they cancel each other out, you did not gain any additional effects.

The scales of justice are being re-examined, seeking balance.

As the scales gradually stabilized, golden light scattered, and the deep gates of hell seemed to emit a low echo as they trembled.

The flames in the skull's eye sockets went out, and the chains that had been inserted into Cerberus's body broke, returning him to the abyss of hell.

As the gears turned, intense sparks flew out.

boom--

With a deafening roar, the gates of hell that could pierce through the underworld slammed shut.

Viktor watched silently as Cerberus's buffs gradually disappeared.

Finally, the fierce guard dog returned to its original state.

Even the flames on his body seemed to have dimmed a bit.

At the same time, Victor waved his staff, and the eerie green flames instantly covered the azure magic patterns.

The dark green ghost fire between the golden bird's eyes also erupted, the netherworld and the flames intertwined.

The eerie green light emanating from his body grew even stronger, and endless demonic energy enveloped the earth like a ghost.

Behind him, a dark green fissure slowly unfolded on the earth.

It was as if the door to another world was slowly opening.

Boom boom boom—

As the ground trembled, Cerberus began to shudder.

Its six eyes widened as it stared at the enormous door behind Viktor, which was slowly rising and burning with eerie green flames.

"Now, welcome to my domain."
