despair.

As they landed lightly, their footsteps created shallow ripples in the darkness.

A huge wall appeared before their eyes. It was the longest and biggest wall they had ever seen. No matter whether they looked up, down, left or right, they could not see its end. It looked like it was made of the hardest meteorite iron, so thick that even tens of thousands of tons of sea water could not break it down; but it was so ethereal and unreal, and so light that one could just reach out and pass through it.

"ah!"

Diya hung on Ash nervously, and they noticed that there were black figures all around them. They were tall and short, male and female, ragged poor people, and gorgeously dressed nobles. They were not limited to humans, but also elves, goblins, orcs, ogres, and even cheetahs, tigers and other animals. Looking further away, Ash also saw an ancient tree, and he didn't know how it moved.

"A demigod who was frightened by a dead soul, witch, you really refresh my horizons." Vichy sneered.

Ash used his Heart Sword to conjure a frying pan, raised it and hit Vichy on the head: "I told you, you are not allowed to mock anyone with unkind words except me."

Weixi rubbed his head, pulled the corner of Yaxiu's clothes, and showed a tearful and pitiful look: "I thought that the relationship between me and you, Master, is no longer the same as before..."

Ash's lips twitched when he heard this. If the demigods who were eaten by Vichy just now heard the Ghost Prophet say such words as if they were hurt by a scumbag, they would probably be so angry that they would die again.

"Why?" Sonia asked immediately, "Why do you feel that way?"

"Yes, yes!" Diya followed up and started a group conversation: "Before you were promoted, didn't you and Ash dislike each other? Why is your relationship different now?"

"Forget it," Vichy blinked at Ash and said with his face covered, "After all, it's just the maid's wishful thinking..."

"So," Weisser asked, changing the subject, "where is this place? Hell?"

Sonia and Diya looked at Weisser with great dissatisfaction, but Weisser seemed not to notice. It was just that when her eyes met with Ash's, her eyes moved and her eyebrows moved in a charming manner.

"The Land of Rebirth", "The Curtain of Death", "The Ultimate Answer".

Vichy stopped joking and said seriously, "Or use a name that you can understand better - "Gate of Hell."

Ash watched the shadows surge into the huge wall like a wave and murmured, "So these are the dead souls entering hell?"

Wei Xi looked at the dead souls with interest: "Speaking of which, my soul-locking spirit should be able to use these resources--"

Ash grabbed Vichy's shoulders and asked her to look at him. Vichy was not at all weak, and her eyes showed no guilt for being a villain. She was so confident that she seemed to be a righteous partner. She raised her chin proudly to meet his gaze and raised her eyebrows: "I'm waiting for you to speak."

"I can't argue with you," Ash said, "I don't even have the right to say anything... What Harvey did is actually no different from what you did. If Harvey were here, he might do something similar."

"so……?"

"I just don't want you to do this." Ash loosened his hand and said softly, "Stay with me. There are plenty of demigod souls in hell waiting for you to harvest. Just like you might pick up a gold coin if it falls, but there's no need for you to bend down if a copper coin falls, right?"

"But a maid who cares about the family must be hardworking and thrifty." Weishi smiled: "But since you said so... then I will pick up the copper coins when you can't see."

"Thank you." Ash breathed a sigh of relief, "Now I just need to keep an eye on you."

"This is exactly what I want." Wei Xi tilted his head and continued to introduce: "After passing through this wall, we will reach Hell, but there is no need to rush. The rest time at the Gate of Hell is the last chance for us to sort out the situation. We can check the Temple of Magic, adjust the Magic Spirit System, and even start to build small wonders."

"There is no such thing as a 'birth point' in hell. We will be randomly teleported to any place in hell. Although the possibility is not high, there are indeed demigods who encounter danger and fall as soon as they arrive in hell."

"The second time I was promoted to a demigod, I built my first wonder, the Boneyard, right here. As soon as I arrived in Hell, I met a demigod. He knew I was a newly promoted demigod, so he didn't have much guard against me. I killed him with one move, made a small fortune, and enslaved the demigod's soul."

"Does he want to murder you?" Diya asked.

"Maybe, maybe not. He is one of the few members of the Order in Hell. He might invite me to join him, but he might also use this identity to deceive others... But whether he is good or bad, what does it have to do with me?" Weishi glanced at her: "What's wrong?"

Diya shook her head and exchanged glances with Sonia and Weisser. They gradually began to understand the character of this new team member. Although Ash had introduced him before, they still found it difficult to understand what kind of image an "evil demigod who has lived for thousands of years" was.

Surprisingly, if they could put aside the factor of Ash and ensure that they could control Vichy, they would actually be very receptive to Vichy. Visser was the type who would do anything to achieve her goals, and Diya's kindness was only for things she had. As for Sonia, although she felt that Vichy was wrong, she did not have any bad feelings in her heart.

But the premise is "leaving aside the factor of Ash."

Ash was actually very surprised, because he had fought with Vichy before and knew that Vichy was a hopeless scum, so Vichy didn't bother to pretend in front of him. But Sonia and the others had never seen Vichy before, and if Vichy tried to please them and go the female route, it was not impossible for him to use the sword lady to control Ash.

Before her promotion, Vichy had keenly noticed that Sword Lady was Ash's most vulnerable weakness. As long as she had Sword Lady as her backer, she could do whatever she wanted even if she couldn't break free from the chains.

Unless Wei Xi also has irreconcilable conflicts with them, so he might as well break the jar and plant the seeds of fear in their hearts. Even if he doesn't want to control them, at least he wants them to not dare to mess with him...

"The Soul-Locking Spirit is a perfect match for you." Sonia's tone was very strange. Rather than being sarcastic, it was more like she was hinting at something: "You are a bad woman who likes to play with souls, so you just summoned a spirit that plays with souls."

"Thank you, your gods are pretty good, too. Your Broken Lake, Witch's Fairy Tale, and Silver Lamp also have new powers... Everyone has gained a lot in the Trial of Hell." Vichy's response was also very subtle, as if he was deliberately leading the topic to everyone's gods.

“But you should have summoned the Soul-Chasing Spirit by yourself, right?” Sonia considered her words carefully. “After all, you are the only one with a legendary level or higher in the Soul Faction.”

"Hmm..." Vichy glanced at Ash and said ambiguously: "You can't say that it's all my credit...right?"

"What about you? Did you summon your gods...also on your own?"

Everyone looked at each other, and at the same time, an incredible and crazy guess popped up in their minds. When they all looked at Ash, although his heart was in chaos, Ash's expression was still as calm as a lake: "Let's sort out the current information."

"Answer this question first." Sonia said, "When we summoned the gods, did you..."

She bit her lower lip lightly: "That's it..."

"Come with us..." Diya didn't know what she was thinking, her face was red as if blood was dripping: "Summon the gods?"

Weisser flipped through the silver tome in his hand without saying anything. Weisser fiddled with the chain in his hand, as if testing the power of the soul-locking spirit.
