Chapter 149: The True Power of the Scythe of Death

Chapter 149 -145: The True Power of the Scythe of Death

Lucifer pointed at Jiang Chaosheng.

“You are… you are the Human Emperor!”

Li Mingyue’s body trembled.

‘Human Emperor?’

‘What is a Human Emperor?’

‘Could it be… the Emperor of the Human Race?’

‘Is the Human Emperor Mr. Dusk’s true identity?’

The Investigators were also pondering the meaning of the two words “Human Emperor.”

Could it be that Mr. Dusk, the man once targeted by the Anomaly Administration Bureau and now under their intense investigation, was actually the sovereign who protected humanity?!

They hadn’t forgotten what Lucifer had said: “You have been sheltered by the Human Emperor for too long, forgetting how to serve the Deities.”

Some of the Investigators looked at Mr. Dusk.

The fear and apprehension they once felt for him were now quietly transforming into reverence.

Lucifer looked agitated. The Divine Feathers on his Angel’s Wings stood on end as a mournful shriek echoed between heaven and earth.

“You—you forced the Buddha to take up a butcher’s knife.

You personally executed tens of thousands of Angels.

You… are the taboo of that era!”

Everyone in the square who heard these words had a different expression on their face.

Some stared at Lucifer in horror, while others looked at Mr. Dusk in disbelief.

Though their expressions differed, their eyes all held the same look.

Shock!

They had never heard such a terrifying story.

But this tale, so bizarre it defied imagination, was actually unfolding right before their eyes?

Mr. Dusk was the very definition of domineering!

Lucifer was still muttering neurotically.

“The taboo… Yes, you are the taboo. I’ve always wanted to challenge the taboo…”

Jiang Chaosheng didn’t give Lucifer a chance to keep rambling and immediately asked:

“What is my name?”

Lucifer froze, his body trembling like a leaf in the wind.

“No, I can’t say it! Your name is a taboo!

Even God cannot speak your name directly!”

The Investigators’ breath caught in their throats!

‘Even God can’t mention Mr. Dusk’s name?’

‘What kind of terrifying existence is he?!’

Lucifer was still muttering to himself.

“I wanted to challenge the taboo. I always wanted to challenge the strongest being of the era. What did I do later…?”

Jiang Chaosheng noticed that Lucifer’s aura was fading.

He glanced at his watch.

‘Judging by the time, Zhong Shu must have already returned the God-Desecrating Bell to Antique Shop Zero.’

‘So, is Lucifer’s residual energy in the mortal world finally dissipating?’

Lucifer continued to mutter:

“What exactly did I do? I must have done something. Why can’t I remember…?”

Although the energy around Lucifer was fading, it was also growing more violent.

That inexplicable era had left behind many madmen—no, mad gods.

Lucifer suddenly seemed to remember something and stared intently at Jiang Chaosheng.

“I remember now! It’s not what I did to you, but… what you did to me!”

Lucifer was starting to speak incoherently.

The Investigators were also curious about what Mr. Dusk could have possibly done to make Lucifer break down like this.

Lucifer’s next words struck them like a clap of thunder to the heart!

Lucifer shrieked:

“It was you! You smashed my head! It was you who killed me!”

Jiang Chaosheng was stunned.

‘The Evil Crow had said that Lucifer had half his head blown off by a single punch from the Human Emperor of that era.’

‘Was that Human Emperor Daji’s husband?’

Lucifer suddenly sensed something.

He raised his hands and stared at them, his expression complicated.

Those hands were becoming ethereal.

Lucifer slowly turned to Jiang Chaosheng, his eyes filled with resentment and a hint of excitement.

“Right now, I’m in terrible shape, and you’re not doing so well either.

How about we have a rematch!”

Daji snapped furiously:

“My husband’s condition is far worse than yours! He’s practically a mortal!

To resort to such dirty tactics, do you even deserve the name of Pride!”

The excitement in Lucifer’s eyes intensified, his expression manic.

“A win is a win!”

The Investigators all tensed up.

So, Mr. Dusk really was in a weakened state. Even so, he could still exert immense pressure on the Anomaly Investigation Bureau.

Once, those present had treated Mr. Dusk as a hypothetical enemy. Now, many of them wanted to stand on his side.

After all, Mr. Dusk was the Human Emperor who protected humanity!

‘Can Mr. Dusk defeat this Lucifer?’

They raised their guns and aimed at Lucifer, determined to help Mr. Dusk no matter what!

With a furious roar, Lucifer’s figure transformed into a streak of white light and shot toward Jiang Chaosheng, leaving a series of sonic booms in his wake!

Daji’s beautiful eyes narrowed. Nine fox tails burst from her back as she, wreathed in cyan Fox Fire, moved to intercept Lucifer.

Jiang Chaosheng remained standing amidst the dark clouds, seemingly watching everything with indifference.

In reality, a piece of profound information was appearing in his mind.

[Comprehending the Profound Mysteries of the Scythe of Death.]

[Scythe of Death: The Divine Artifact of Eternal Hell’s first king—the Death God.]

[The Death God, who wielded the Deprivation Power, guarded Eternal Hell.]

[This continued until an Angel with nearly infinite Life Force descended upon Eternal Hell and engaged the Death God in a fierce battle.]

[The Death God lost, and the Angel lost as well. The victor was a sneak attacker named Satan.]

[Profound Mystery of the Scythe of Death: Deprivation Power.]

[Any being defeated by the Scythe of Death will have a portion of its soul imprisoned within the scythe and be randomly deprived of one ability, which can then be used by the wielder of the Scythe of Death.]

[The Scythe of Death can imprison up to six sources of Soul Power.]

After processing the information in his mind, Jiang Chaosheng pulled the rust-covered Scythe of Death from behind his trench coat.

Having comprehended the profound mysteries of the Scythe of Death, Jiang Chaosheng felt as if the weapon was an extension of his own body.

With a single thought, Jiang Chaosheng willed it.

The Scythe of Death transformed.

The scythe, originally only a meter long, instantly grew into a giant scythe over two meters in length!

The rust covering the blade gradually transformed into a series of profound Runes!

The current Scythe of Death was now worlds stronger than its previous rusted form!

Jiang Chaosheng could feel the Scythe of Death trembling, thirsting for the nourishment of souls.

He looked up, his gaze falling upon Lucifer, who was locked in a fierce battle with Daji in the distance.

Jiang Chaosheng’s fingers gently caressed the handle of the scythe as he murmured to himself:

“What a fateful encounter.”

‘Lucifer once challenged the Death God to seize control of Eternal Hell, but he was ambushed by Satan. The plan failed, and the Death God fell.’

‘Then Lucifer tried to enter the Xia Kingdom, intending to pass through the Underworld to kill Satan and get his revenge.’

‘But he unexpectedly ran into the Human Emperor and had his head smashed by a single punch.’

‘And now?’

‘I, who look so much like the Human Emperor and might be inextricably linked to him, am now wielding the Death God’s Divine Artifact to kill Lucifer all over again!’

‘Lucifer won’t be getting his revenge, but the Death God’s vengeance, on the other hand, will be considered complete.’

Jiang Chaosheng activated the power of the Dragon Pearl and, brandishing the Scythe of Death, flew rapidly through the rain!

When Lucifer saw Jiang Chaosheng approaching, the excitement on his half-a-face grew even more intense.

But when he got a clear look at the scythe in Jiang Chaosheng’s hand, his smile froze.

Jiang Chaosheng raised the scythe and swung it heavily at Lucifer!

Lucifer blocked with his wings.

“SHRIIIP!”

Countless feathers fell from the sky.

On this gloomy, rainy day, the sight of the Angel’s Feathers drifting down was somewhat romantic and dreamlike.

Jiang Chaosheng, however, found nothing romantic about it. He just thought it was satisfying, a hint of greed in his eyes.

The Scythe of Death was extremely effective against Spirit Bodies, and its complete version even more so!

This Lucifer was nothing more than a faint, residual soul!

‘If I finish him off and imprison his soul, I can obtain one of Lucifer’s abilities!’
