Hell's Handbook-Chapter 367
Chapter 367
Su Jin kept on walking through the Grave of the Gods and mourned at each grave he came to. Along the way, he also ran into several formidable owners of different races. Some ran away, some attacked, while some wanted to connect peacefully with him.
Those who ran off were pulled back by Su Jin, those who attacked were subdued by him, and those who wanted a peaceful connection got it. Regardless of who they were, what ideals they had, or whether they were even willing or not, Su Jin didnt care. He wanted to talk to each of them first.
After his seal was broken, his powers had exceeded those of an ordinary owner. And after he had understood more about this universe he was in, his powers increased even more. If he had to fight a god now, as long as they werent top tier gods, then even if he couldnt win the fight, he would be able to leave the fight unscathed.
The owners going through the Grave of the Gods were no match for him at all. They were of different races, from different planets and different worlds, but none of that mattered. They were all defenseless against Su Jin.
In no time, a rumor began to spread among the owners going through the same test in the Grave of the Gods. There was a god-level mourner wandering the graves. There was no point in running from him because you couldnt possibly escape him, but there was also no need to fear, because all he wanted was to have a chat with you.
Many guessed that Su Jin was the combination of remnants of gods souls, and that was why he was so powerful. They thought he was here purely to mourn the gods who had passed away.
So youre that mourner? Natasha stared at Su Jin in disbelief. It had been about a month since their group entered the Grave of the Gods separately. After she got the message from Su Jin, she had spent her time carefully looking for a suitable gravestone.
She wanted to find a god that had a compatible Spirit Power with hers, as well as one that was powerful enough for her standards, then pick that gods gravestone, but most of the owners here had the same idea in mind, resulting in them fighting each other for the gravestones they wanted. Human owners had never really been the type who could withstand death matches, so until now, Natasha had not been able to find a gravestone for herself.
But she had heard about this legendary mourner and had noticed a strange person moving from grave to grave to mourn the death of that god. When she came closer, she realized that this strange person was actually Su Jin.
What are you even doing? I dont think anybodys looking for a gravestone like this, are they? asked Natasha in a confused voice.
Su Jin smiled and said, Did you run into Durand and the rest?
Nope. Its not that easy to run into them. This place is simply too big. But I ran into many owners from other systems and I have a rough understanding of the truth behind Hells Handbook now. The gods of the countless cycles before us have all left their gravestones here. The size of this place is almost beyond my imagination, said Natasha with a sigh.
The truth? You think thats the truth? Su Jin shook his head and sighed.
Natasha frowned and said, Do you know something that I dont?
Yup. I know the ultimate answer, but its too bad, I cant tell you. You have to look for the answer yourselves, Su Jin smiled sadly as he shook his head. He couldnt tell others the answer he knew, because if one did not arrive at the answer themselves, the answer would become meaningless.
Natasha knew that Su Jin was someone who knew what he was talking about. When she saw the saddened expression on his face, she asked curiously, You really cant tell me anything at all?
Becoming a deity was what we came here to do. But is that really the best option? Su Jin hesitated for a moment, but eventually decided to tell Natasha, Ive decided to give up on becoming a god.
What?! Natasha was taken aback. She couldnt understand why Su Jin would do this, so she asked, But how could you do that? Im not trying to question your choices, but why would you want to give up? Youll regret it!
I know it sounds silly, but since Ive decided to take this path, I will not regret it, said Su Jin resolutely. Then he went on, I know of a gravestone that would be very suitable for you. Come with me.
Su Jin raised a finger and Natasha felt herself fly involuntarily along with Su Jin. They covered a great distance and went past several gravestones before stopping again.
Good heavens, how how did your powers become so powerful? asked Natasha in shock. Su Jin was powerful, yes, but when they first got here, he definitely wasnt powerful enough to have complete control over her movement. But when he dragged her along with him just now, she couldnt even lift a finger. Not even a god should have been powerful enough to do that to her. Furthermore, she had become stronger after entering this Challenge.
No pain, no gain. Once I gave up on becoming a god, I have to go on my own path. Su Jin smiled before pointing to the gravestone next to him. This one is very suitable for you. The owner of this grave was a dragon and a very high level deity. They were just a little short of becoming a top tier deity.
Natasha stared dubiously at the gravestone. It wasnt very fancy, and it actually looked a bit sad since it only covered a small area. But since Su Jin recommended it, she decided to take a closer look.
She stood in front of the gravestone and shut her eyes, then opened them again with some shock, followed by ecstasy. Just like what Su Jin said, this gravestone was really very suitable for her. The owner of this grave had the bloodline of the very first dragon, making them one of the ancestors to all dragons. There wouldnt be a gravestone better for her.
She pulled the gravestone out of the ground, then turned to Su Jin and said, What about you? You still have to get a gravestone, dont you? Otherwise you wont pass the test, and the God of Sins would, you know
Kill me? Su Jin chuckled. He shook his head and replied, It doesnt matter anymore. If he kills me, so be it. He turned and started to walk away.
Hey! Will we meet again? asked Natasha loudly.
Su Jin stopped walking, then said, Well! If Im lucky, we should end up meeting again. But when that time comes its hard to say what our stance will be.
Huh? Natasha stared blankly at him, but before she could respond, the gravestone in her hands started giving off a faint glow. She had completed her test, so she was going to be teleported out.
Su Jin continued on his mourning journey, running into Durand and Oscar along the way. Since they were all fellow humans, Su Jin did not mind helping them. He brought each of them to a gravestone that was suitable for them. Now that the only human owner left was Shen Wu, Su Jin decided to look for him.
He went about asking every owner he met about Shen Wu, regardless of what race they were. It didnt take him long to find Shen Wu wandering about like a headless chicken.
Still havent found a suitable gravestone for yourself? Su Jin asked Shen Wu.
Shen Wu narrowed his eyes slightly and did not answer Su Jins question. Instead, he said, Youre here to kill me!
Youve picked that up really quickly, Su Jin nodded. For some reasons I cant tell you, I dont know if I can get back to Earth, so after thinking about it, I decided to kill you first and think about the rest later. I dont want to miss the opportunity to take revenge.
Not sure if you would be able to go back? So youve realized the same thing too? said Shen Wu suddenly.
Su Jin was caught by surprise. Youve realized it too?
I have! Becoming a god is something that every owner has become obsessed with, but many people dont realize that when we accept that position, were also giving up the opportunity to be someone with no limits. Its like accepting a position from the king even if you become the highest official in the country, youll still be one lower than the king, said Shen Wu calmly.
Yup, thats what I thought. Youre the type who wants to be right at the top all the time, remarked Su Jin.
And here I thought you were the sort who just wanted a simple, secure, stable life, commented Shen Wu.
Well, looks like we were a little misled, but none of that matters anymore. Lets fight! Su Jin stretched his arms and legs as a murderous look filled his eyes.
Shen Wu sighed and said, Ive been trying to dodge you, especially after I heard about this mysterious human mourner walking through the Grave of the Gods. Sadly, I failed to avoid you after all. Since thats the case, let me fulfil my godly duties in advance!
Prepare to die! Su Jin yelled as he flicked his finger and engulfed Shen Wus body with a brilliant, silver glow from all directions.
Arghh! Shen Wu let out a yell as well as he charged at Su Jin. Cold and hot air surged all around him as he kept breaking through the wall of psychokinesis Su Jin had built around him, but just before he got all the way through, he couldnt keep it up anymore. He had used up all his Spirit Power.
Haha! Damn it! Shen Wu laughed loudly as he cursed before getting sliced up completely by the silver glow.
