Chapter 243 Styx Divinity

In this endless zone, there is no food or drink, only wandering and enduring, accumulating pain infinitely.

Even normal people can't bear it, let alone some people who died tragically?
When people go to death, they are full of illnesses, and there are very few people who die without any pain.

Starved to death, thirsty to death, sick to death, hacked to death, drowned to death, burned to death... Unexpectedly, after death is not relief, but the pain before death is frozen.

Yan Nu looked at the vast Styx River and asked: "Then you cross the river..."

"What's wrong with the water?"

At this time, another poor ghost answered him: "Everything on the River Styx will sink, and it is impossible to swim across."

"Only Charon, the ferryman of the River Styx, can take us to the other side."

"But he wants to charge a silver coin for the transfer, we... have no money..."

Yan Nu couldn't believe it: "You still have to charge money? Everyone is dead, where did you get the money?"

The poor ghosts next to him were too weak and sat down on the ground, as if they didn't want to answer such meaningless questions.

They have been wandering here for too long, but they still have their minds.After all, if the pain is so painful that even the soul collapses, the dirt will be restored to the state when it first came in.

So these wandering poor ghosts were tortured to the point of numbness.

At this time, a boat sailed to the shore, and the indifferent boatman stood upright at the bow.

The boatman was just an old man, but he exuded a mysterious breath of death, and his eyes were fixed on Yan Nu.

"God Charon!"

The rich waved their gold and silver and rushed to board the boat. They handed the money to the boatman, and the gold and silver coins were melted into the boatman as soon as they touched the boatman.

In addition to some rich people, nobles, and some ragged people also followed.

For a moment, the ship became unstable and began to shake.

The people on the boat were all terrified and cursed angrily to kick those poor ghosts off.

Those poor ghosts begged and looked at Kumail: "Don't drive us down, we are buried slaves, the master will pay for us..."

Seeing the great nobles boarding the boat, standing beside God Charon, and seeing that Yan Nu hadn't moved, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Urging: "Pay quickly, Kumail, you promised us."

"Hmm..." Kumail spread out his hands, revealing a handful of gold and silver.

Counting the nobles who boarded the ship, he couldn't help frowning, there were too many people.

And because Yan Nu killed him suddenly and the incident happened in a hurry, the other nobles boarded the boat with him without swearing allegiance.

There are too many people, no matter how much money he has to be buried with him, he will not be so squandered.

Because he still needs to bribe the judge to redeem his crimes, who knows how heavy his crimes are?If you spend too much money on the boat and not enough money on the trial, wouldn't it be the end of it?He didn't want to go to the Depths of Tartarus.

Kumail thought for a while, pointed to some buried slaves, and said to Charon, the ferryman of the Styx: "Dear God Charon, those few are my slaves, I need them to serve me forever in the underworld, I can do it for you. They pay the fare."

"But they were just slaves during their lifetime, can it be cheaper?"

God Charon just stared at Yan Nu on the shore, and replied flatly: "The price of ferrying souls is equal."

"This..." Kumail changed his mind: Anyway, I want slaves, why do I want these dead idiots?

It's better to replace it with nobles. Those nobles may also get the wealth of family sacrifices in the future, which can be regarded as an income.

"Then... I'll pay for these people... You should swear quickly." Kumail pointed to a few people from the nobles.

Seeing this, the slaves cried for their father and mother.

The nobles who were not selected were also very angry: "What about us!"

"There are too many of you, let's forget it, just wait, anyway, you didn't swear to be my slaves." Kumail said.

"Then we swear now!"

"Forget it, there are too many, I don't need so many slaves."

After Kumail finished speaking, he sat on the boat and ignored it.

The nobles pleaded desperately, but did not dare to go back to the shore, because Yan Nu was standing there and staring at him.

They still had luck in their hearts, and said that their family would definitely send wealth, hoping to persuade Kumail to change his mind.

But Kumail just bowed his head in silence, as if he didn't hear.

"What should I do? Go back to shore..."

"That guy is on the shore. Don't fall into his hands. If you cross the river, you won't be afraid of him. If he doesn't have faith, he will definitely have no money."

"But we don't have any money!"

The abandoned nobleman was so anxious that he prayed to God Charon: "We will have money, please take us across the River Styx first?"

Charon ignored it, and instead said to Yan Nu on the shore: "Oriental, you...don't get on the boat yet?"

Yan Nu tilted his head and said: "It turns out that you are the one who collects money, so does the god also want to be greedy for money? Why not let everyone be free?"

Charon said calmly: "The money in the underworld is the projection of the secular funerary objects condensed by the power of pure faith, and any god can absorb it."

Yan Nu was stunned, and he said why he needed money after death, which was actually similar to the incense money on Shenzhou.

In fact, what is needed is not money, but the power of faith, and this kind of "unowned belief" combined with the funeral objects is not a sacrifice to a certain god, so it is a "hard currency" that is useful to any god.

But here comes the problem, belief alone is not enough, that thing is not physical, and there must be corresponding precious items to be buried with, projected to the underworld, as the carrier of belief.

Funeral objects will not enter the underworld, they will still be buried in the human world, but this is a necessary medium.No gold and silver were buried with him, no matter how many beliefs the poor ghost had, they would not be able to condense the currency of the underworld.

"If you look at it this way, I'm also a poor ghost..." Yan Nu doesn't believe in God at all, even though he had countless wealth during his lifetime, he is also a poor ghost here.

Looking back at those poor ghosts, I can fully understand their pain.

They were poor during their lifetime, and suffered until they died. After death, they will be even poorer without funeral objects. They cannot cross the river, and the pain will last forever.

Only when some rich people come here with a lot of money, they will support it, hoping to send some money to cross the river.

This is the only hope, otherwise I will wander here forever in numbness and suffer a lot.

"Ridiculous! This is the rule of the underworld? Where is the Hades?" Yan Nu's tone was full of anger.

In an instant, a terrifying artistic conception erupted.

He has lost his body now, and his consciousness is stored in the artistic conception space. When he comes here, the dirty soil has condensed a new soul, which is lifeless as a carrier.

Although many powers are gone, the artistic conception is still there, blooming at this moment, and everyone's hearts seem to see light, warm and dazzling.

"You can get it for free!" Seeing this, God Charon said quickly, "I'm here to pick you up to meet Hades..."

Yan Nu pointed his spear and stared at him: "Everyone is free!"

"What! A joke!" God Charon refused without hesitation, and even seeing Yan Nu's expression was unkind, he hurriedly pushed the boat away.

Suddenly the ship flew away like an arrow, away from the shore.

Just kidding, he is the only god who can cross the River Styx, and it is harder than all the gods to ferry here every day. This money is almost all the way to increase his divine power.

If not for any good, isn't he in turn a servant of humanity?What is the difference between being exhausted and constantly ferrying, and being reduced to hell?
Secondly, he is not a god for this money, he is only responsible for collecting the money, and the gods of the underworld have to share it.

Living people depend on the gods of this world, so most of the beliefs in the world are divided by gods such as Jupiter.

The rest belonged to the line of Neptune, after all, the Roman Empire relied on navigation.

In the end, only a very small number will worship the gods of the underworld, so the wealth of belief generated by people's burial and sacrifice to the dead is the foundation of their divine power.

"Who do you think you are? How dare you be so arrogant in the underworld!" Charon said indifferently: "You just stay here."

Pluto asked him to pick up Yannu, but he didn't actually pick him up for trial.

Originally, if the god of death seduces the soul, he can directly go to the underworld.However, Yan Nu died "naturally", and came from the exhaustion of his lifespan, so he fell to the entrance of the underworld.

Anyway, the death trial is just the final killer move.So Pluto asked Charon to pick up people, in fact, he had to wait until the middle of the Styx, and then use Charon's divinity to knock him down the Styx.

This task is very dangerous. Charon knows Yan Nu's record and is afraid that he will be taken ashore by Yan Nu.So if something is going wrong right now, give up immediately and just run away.

As long as he is on the Styx River, he is worthy of no one. He is the only god on this Styx River, and even the God King cannot challenge his authority on the boat.

"Stop!" Yan Nu waved his gun, but no energy was released.

So he hit the artistic conception, turned it into a spear phantom, and blasted towards Charon.

"puff!"

Charon was penetrated on the spot, and his divine body was turbulent and flickering.

He is just a small god, and Yan Nu severely wounded him with just relying on the strength of the warrior's mind.

But in an instant, Charon was back to normal.

"All creatures in the underworld are immortal. You can't even kill mortal undead, let alone gods." Charon said disdainfully.

At the same time, the people on the boat also cheered. To be honest, they were frightened when they heard that Charon said that he would take Yannu to cross the river for free, but fortunately they failed in the end.

At this moment, even those who didn't pay are secretly happy in their hearts. Charon seems to have forgotten that they didn't pay?
But before he was happy for a long time, God Charon suddenly raised the boat pole and slapped it hard!
"Oh!"

The boat trembled, and the poor ghosts and nobles who didn't pay immediately capsized under the boat and fell into the Styx without any resistance.

"No! Let me go back to shore!"

"No!"

"God Charon, I was wrong! Forgive us!"

"Help... help... woo..."

They screamed, and the sound quickly died away.

All of them sank to the bottom of the River Styx, and the waves on the surface remained the same, not even a single bubble popped out!It seems that the foam on this river will sink!

"They fell into the water!"

"How dare you board Charon's boat if you don't have money..."

The poor ghosts on the bank watched with lingering fear, as if falling into the Styx was an extremely terrifying thing!
Yan Nu asked: "Could it be that if you fall into the Styx River, you will die?"

The poor ghosts trembled and said, "It's scary if you don't die! Everything in the River Styx will sink, so if you fall, you will definitely sink to the bottom of the river."

"That is endless suffocation! There is even the erosion of the soul by the river of Styx... Even if the soul is corroded and shattered, the rule of dirt will restore them...still at the bottom of the river..."

"Under the Styx River... I don't know how many dead souls are lying there, and they all fell due to various reasons throughout the ages."

"Thousands of years... it will never be possible to leave the Styx again."

The poor ghosts feel fear even if they talk about it.

Although they were suffering on the shore, at least they didn't feel suffocated, and there wasn't anything corroding them for no reason.

The most important thing is that they still have hope, just wait and linger, maybe one day, a kind-hearted rich man will send them some money to cross the river and free them.

Although the possibility is very low, after all, there have been too many poor ghosts and dead souls throughout the ages, but... at least there is a thought.

But in the Styx River, you will know that being on the shore is a kind of happiness...

If you fall into the Styx River, you will lose even a sliver of hope. The King of Pluto will not even try to fish people out. This is the divinity of the Styx River!
"Don't tell me sooner! I'll save people!"

"Pfft!"

When Yan Nu learned of this, he jumped into the Styx River without hesitation.

"what!"

The poor ghosts on the shore were all dumbfounded and felt incredible.

"How dare you save someone!"

"This is Styx, is he listening to me?"

Many of them have been lingering on the shore for a long time, and it was the first time I saw them, some of them dared to take the initiative to jump into the River Styx!
In the world, it is brave to rescue those who fall into the water.But to rescue those who fell into the water of the Styx River, it would just add another wronged soul to the bottom of the river.

This is no longer suicide, it is an act more terrifying than going to death.

are you crazy?Even the dead souls who were tormented madly on the shore would instinctively stay away from the Styx, for fear of being squeezed down.

Yan Nu took the initiative to jump in without any hesitation, she was desperate and brave beyond bounds, what was she thinking?

The poor ghosts looked around, only to see that the Styx River was still turbulent, and there was not a trace of foam coming up when Yan Nu went down.

"No, he will sink to the bottom of the river forever, enduring endless suffocation and corrosion." The poor ghosts lamented and shook their heads.

Charon was startled on the boat, then smiled, and hurriedly reported to Pluto.

"Did that guy get it?"

"No, he jumped into the river..."

"Huh? He jumped on his own initiative?" Pluto was taken aback.

"Yeah, I said he could get on the boat for free and he asked me to give everyone free... I ran and he jumped into the river."

Pluto also smiled: "Interesting, how courageous, relying on your own supreme divinity, and fearless?"

"Even if he can be immune to the erosion of the Styx, it is meaningless. The divinity of the Styx lies in its absolute sinking."

"It's the same when it's sealed to the bottom of the Styx River. I want to see how he gets out."
