Chapter 015: Return

"Death Strike!"

Boom!

Wang Bo unleashed a light-speed punch, releasing endless radiance from his hand, carving a path to victory, and his unmatched fist force completely shattered the black sword marks.

But the next second, the second wave of the Nether King's attack came.

"Life Deprivation!"

He pointed a single finger at Wang Bo, and in an instant, the life force within Wang Bo's body was drawn out, while boundless death energy poured in, seeking to corrode every inch of Wang Bo's flesh and turn him into a corpse.

Wang Bo let out a great roar, and the solar true qi within his body boiled, instantly melting the death energy. His entire being rose like a blazing sun, releasing infinite light and heat.

The Nether King's face grew darker. As the god of death and ruler of the underworld, what he hated most was the sun, which bestows life upon all things.

"Soul Banishment!"

Since the first two moves could not defeat Wang Bo, the Nether King expended a great deal of power, intending to kick Wang Bo's soul out of his body and then imprison it.

But at that moment, Hela appeared beside the Nether King and swung her sword at his head.

The longsword was enchanted with various magics, enough to give him a hard time even if it couldn't kill him.

The Nether King naturally wouldn't take the hit head-on, so he had to abandon the Soul Banishment, snorted coldly, and evaded Hela's attack.

After forcing back the Nether King, Hela flew back to Wang Bo's side.

Every pore on Wang Bo's body released countless invisible sword qi, filling the void. The sword qi gathered and dispersed at will, igniting the death energy in the air, which dissipated without a trace like snow under sunlight.

The surrounding air became scorching hot.

At the same time, under the sunlight, the once lifeless land sprouted green plants one after another, showing vibrant vitality.

The Nether King roared, "Enough!"

If this continued, his temple would turn into a thriving paradise.

"Not enough! Far from enough."

Wang Bo had nearly been deprived of his life force by the Nether King and decided to teach him a lesson.

The invisible sword qi vibrated, forming a massive wheel embedded in the void, slowly turning.

With each turn, the death energy in the underworld decreased a little.

Heaven, Human, Hell.

Asura, Hungry Ghost, Animal.

Wang Bo used sword qi to simulate the Buddhist Six Paths of Reincarnation, affecting the entire underworld. Countless wandering souls and resentful ghosts were reincarnated under this power.

The Nether King's face turned pale with rage. If this power continued to affect his realm, it would cause great damage. So he hurled his longsword with all his might.

The sword shot like a streak of light, striking the wheel. Boundless death energy erupted, directly shattering the wheel and turning it back into scattered sword qi.

However, under the influence of death energy, these sword qi quickly wore away, nearly nine-tenths of them gone.

"You two, don't go too far," said the Nether King, suppressing his anger. Neither of these two was a match for him alone, but if they joined forces, even if he wanted to win, he would have to pay a heavy price.

And that price was one he was unwilling to pay.

Wang Bo, on the other hand, looked calmly at the gnashing Nether King and asked softly, "Great Nether King, may we leave now?"

The Nether King looked at his expression and wished he could grind him to pieces, but as a god who had lived for countless years, he knew well that momentary pleasure would only bring disaster.

"Get lost!" he roared. "Get lost now!"

Hela sneered a few times and glanced at Wang Bo, as if asking whether they should join forces to kill him.

Wang Bo gave a forced smile at Hela, then turned and walked away. If Hela wanted to stay, she could stay.

Did this woman really take him for a fool?

Seeing Wang Bo leave, Hela's expression stiffened. She looked at the hostile Nether King and finally chased after Wang Bo.

She was no match for the Nether King alone.

After Hela caught up with Wang Bo, they were already far from the temple. Wang Bo could still feel the Nether King's gaze on him, but he didn't care.

Hela said, "This is a good opportunity. If we join forces, we have a chance to..."

"Shut up," Wang Bo snapped, seeing that Hela was still fixated on it. "Do you really think I'm a fool, willing to fight a deathmatch with a Nether King in the underworld for you?"

Hela replied calmly, "I am your subordinate. If my strength increases, so does yours."

Wang Bo couldn't help but laugh. "You know you're my subordinate, but your actions today always make me feel like I'm your subordinate, expanding your territory for you, Miss Hela."

Hela remained silent.

Wang Bo continued, "Miss Hela, I hope you remember your place and don't disappoint me again and again. I can entrust the Hell Dimension to you, or I can give it to someone else. Understand?"

This time, Hela had disobeyed Wang Bo's orders and came to the underworld to fight a Nether King on her own.

Wang Bo was furious.

"If there's a next time, I will definitely not save you!"

He had no use for a disobedient subordinate, even if it was Hela.

"You volunteered to be my subordinate, Miss Hela. You should know what a subordinate can and cannot do."

After admonishing Hela, Wang Bo took her back to the underground city.

When he left the underground city, Wang Bo had made a mark at the exit.

Even if the underground city shifted direction, Wang Bo could find it.

Then, Wang Bo returned to the thirtieth floor and ascended quickly until he reached the third floor.

In a hidden room, he found Gwen and the others.

"You're finally back," Gwen said, unable to help sighing with relief when she saw Wang Bo appear.

Wang Bo saw everyone there, nodded slightly, and said, "Good, let's go back."

Spider-Ham nodded. "That's great. I don't feel comfortable in this kind of place."

The others agreed, nodding in approval.

Wang Bo naturally knew why. With so much death energy here, it was harmful to healthy people, but everyone present was a Spider-Person with vigorous bodily functions, allowing them to resist the death energy.

The only exceptions were Mary Jane and Peni Parker.

Mary Jane was an ordinary person, and Peni Parker relied on her robot to be Spider-Man, not her own abilities; she was just a little girl.

Thus, both women looked somewhat pale. If they stayed any longer, they would definitely fall seriously ill.
