Currently, I was following the man who took off his robe down the stairs again. Next to me, my wife, Yoo Seonyeong, was following with a smile. She was very excited about reuniting after a long time. The place we came to was the black desert I passed through. The man in front of me turned around with a still calm face. He made eye contact with me and smiled.

“Um...”

I couldn’t help letting out a sound.

Thick black hair and high eyebrows. Sharp and big eyes and a high nose. The man in front of me looked like me when I was younger. I never dreamed I would meet Alexus, the king of Atlan and Weather Chef, who was said to have died in Ragnarok.

“You look really shocked. I was surprised as well. I never imagined that you would be old. If I had lived then I would’ve looked like you? Hahaha!”

“......”

Alexus laughed, but I couldn’t say anything. I never thought that my past self and my present self would meet and talk in this way.

“Don’t look at me like that. I also feel weird because we look the same.”

I heard this and came to my senses. “Cough! Sorry, I never imagined I would see you this way. Please understand.”

“Well, it is like this.’

To be honest, I wasn’t only surprised a little bit. I was extremely surprised. I was so surprised that I didn’t know if I should talk in honorifics. It was the first time we were meeting so it was best to be respectful. Yoo Seonyeong laughed quietly like the meeting between Alexus and I was very interesting.

“What is so good about this?”

[No, it is just that the situation is so funny.]

“Groan.” I sighed deeply.

Then Alexus opened his mouth again, “Pluto, can I wake them up now?”

[Please do so. I gave them a heads-up in advance.]

“Yes, then I’m going.”

Alexus moved and slowly touched the stone statue near the entrance. He had obviously told me not to touch anything. Why was he touching this?

“......!”

Just then, a tremendous gust of ghostly air blew in the black desert and a cold chill spread through the desert. In an instant, black icicles appeared. I blinked as the terrain changed. Suddenly, desperate cries started to be heard from the ground. I turned to the source of the sound and there was an ominous feeling in my heart. “This...”

There were many ghosts rising from the black desert I had come across. The black chill that came from them couldn’t be underestimated. It gave me goosebumps that I had crossed such a place.

[In fact, this place is designated as a forbidden area that no one can enter even in the Underworld. The soul of sinners who have committed great sins are trapped in this black desert. You can think of it as a type of prison.]

“Why put them in this place? Isn’t it dangerous for you?”

[It’s okay. It has been a long time since a warden was sent to manage the sinners.]

"Warden...?”

[In any case, it is perfect for training. For reference, it is safe to assume that they have almost the same strength as when they were alive. They should be good opponents.]

“No, what are you saying all of a sudden...”

The moment I spoke, I could see a variety of ugly weapons being held in the hands of the ghosts that were gathering like ants. They were all unusual weapons and a momentary but tremendous killing intent poured toward me. Alexus stood next to me and spoke with a casual expression, “The first lesson is to handle all of them with Rising Sun.”

The group of terrible corpses caused the earth to shake as they rushed forward with strange sounds. Only then did I realize that I had come to hell.

“Shit.”

At the castle of the demon kings, the home of Ashtar and Lucifer...

Ashtar sat at the window and leisurely watched the red moon. He had been guarding this place while Lucifer wandered around. He occasionally heard news that someone was invading and came out to fight. His task was to protect the demon king’s castle against any possible attacks, but it was like torture to Ashtar.

He was called Commitment to Greed and he was always greedy for fights. It made life more enjoyable and gave it meaning. He was always happy where there was blood and the feeling of being alive was overwhelming. The more this happened, the more eager he was for a fight.

[How long do I have to stay like this?]

[Just put up with it a bit longer and you will be contacted. Didn't you feel the earthquake before? It wasn’t an ordinary one. It means that Lucifer will wake up as Gaia said.]

[No, I know that, but when the hell is he coming? Why is Lucifer always going around alone to do something fun? Isn’t that right?]

It happened as Ashtar’s two faces were having a conversation...

[I’m sorry for acting alone. Yes.]

Ashtar was startled by Lucifer’s sudden appearance and almost fell out the window. Of course, it wouldn’t hurt to fall but he would undoubtedly be a laughing stock to the demons. If someone laughed then Ashtar would’ve struck them in the neck right away, but anyway.

[Cough. Lucifer, you are finally here.]

Lucifer stared indifferently at Ashtar’s two heads and pretended not to know anything. He slowly sat on the throne in the castle. His voice was low and heavy.

[I’m sorry that you who is called the God of Fighting in the demon world must’ve been very bored. So I brought some good news.]

Ashtar’s two faces brightened when he heard there was good news.

[Good news?]

[What is it?]

Lucifer sat on the throne and laughed in the darkness, his eyes curved in a crescent moon shape. His brilliantly shining eyes were saying that the time had finally come. Ashtar felt his heart thumping and Lucifer no longer felt the need to keep Ashtar here.

[It is the fight that you love so much. In one week, we will lead the demonic army and begin a massive conquest war. He instructed that all those who rebel can be killed.]

Ashtar’s two faces looked bizarre as they started to laugh.

* * *

Meanwhile, Alexus and Yoo Seonyeong were watching Choi Chuntaek indifferently as he engaged in a fierce fight with the corpses. Choi Chuntaek’s Rising Sun blew away the black chill and wiped out the dead rising from the ground.

“Solar has evolved like that...” Alexus’ eyes narrowed as he watched Solar Phoenix flying next to Choi Chuntaek with a disbelieving expression. Choi Chuntaek’s Rising Sun had already surpassed Alexus’ one in his life. To be honest, he wanted to teach what was lacking, but it wasn’t necessary.

Choi Chuntaek had already wrapped the sun around his two legs and his feet contained the same destructive power as Solar Phoenix. It showed great power and majesty. Every time he took a step, hundreds of corpses returned to the black ground. Perhaps sooner or later, he would defeat these large numbers of corpses.

Alexus turned his gaze to Yoo Seonyeong who was right next to him. Her eyes were very serious now. Alexus asked her, “Do you think he really deserves to lead the Army of Death?”

[He is someone who has never disappointed me. It will probably be the same this time.]

“......”

Her voice contained great willpower and trust. How great a man was him for her to trust so firmly? Alexus felt a bit jealous of Choi Chuntaek.

Just then, a loud sound was heard in the distance. It was a much bigger explosion than before.

“Oh, he is already fighting the first army corps commander, Reaper. That guy is very tricky, but now he is going to be defeated. Huhu, what expression will he make when he finds out these prisoners are actually the Army of Death?”

Yoo Seonyeong laughed at Alexus’ words.

Alexus looked at her and once again asked, “Why aren’t you telling him the truth? This isn’t the average training right now. He will be quite surprised to learn that it is a process to transfer your power. Can’t you just go to the human world to stop Jupiter?”

Yoo Seonyeong shook her head at Alexus’ question.

[I can’t go to the human world. If I go there, Pandora will resonate with me and run wild. I don’t want to repeat my actions in Ragnarok.]

Yoo Seonyeong’s face stiffened and she frowned like she was recalling the events of that time. In fact, she was disgusted that she used too much of Pandora’s power in Ragnarok and threw the world into chaos. Of course, it was comforting that she blocked Lee Geonmyeong. At that time, she knew it was a game and didn’t feel any great guilt for taking the lives of NPCs.

Now it was different. There were users and her family members were among them. It was obvious that there would be a destructive effect if she went up to the human world now.

“I see. It isn’t that I can’t understand. Resonance with Pandora...” Alexus realized her meaning and his question was resolved.

Meanwhile, the fight between Choi Chuntaek and Reaper was reaching its climax. Once again, there was an explosion and a burst of dazzling light. Alexus touched his chin in a satisfied manner. Just then—

[It looks pretty interesting, Alexus.]

“Oh, you came? Isn’t that quick? Is your body better now?”

It was Aiolos, who managed to escape the Star Flow System and survive. It was shortly after Aiolos sent the constellations to the human world. As he was being chased by the demons with Remus, he happened to find a portal to the Underworld. The two of them were forced to go through the portal. Contrary to their concerns, they had a good experience as they met Alexus and Yoo Seonyeong and received treatment.

Of course, the place was a bit dark, but it wasn’t bad.

Aiolos smiled.

[Thanks to you, my soul isn’t lost. Flora’s treatment seems to have worked and she can move a little bit. However, Remus still has a bit of a problem.]

“Hmm, I’m just glad you’re okay. In any case, it is good to see you. Oh, since you’re here, do you have any plans to teach?”

[All of a sudden?]

Alexus pointed to Choi Chuntaek, who was fighting fiercely on the other side. Aiolos’ gaze fell on Choi Chuntaek.

[Hoh.]

Faint curiosity flashed on Aiolos’ face.
