Otherworldly Skeleton Evolution

“After Hades was resurrected, although he was only an undead with his power completely destroyed, Natalie kept helping him search for the Spring of Life to restore his physical body.”

“But Hades knew that even if he could regain his body, he would still be powerless. He wasn’t content with that. In his insanity, he actually targeted Natalie, who loved him deeply!”

“What?” Upon hearing this, everyone’s eyes widened in shock. They couldn’t fathom that a person could be so depraved.

His lover, who loved him deeply, had stolen forbidden techniques to resurrect him and even endured countless hardships to help him find the Spring of Life.

And he, for the sake of his own power, actually wanted to sacrifice his lover?

Such a person was truly devoid of humanity.

After hearing Redno’s words, everyone felt that Natalie’s devotion had been cruelly wasted.

“This Hades is utterly despicable! How could Master have fallen for such a person?” A Silly Cutie gritted her teeth, filled with hatred.

Redno’s voice also carried a hint of shock, his lips trembling slightly, “I never imagined his selfishness would reach such extremes, wanting to use the Hell Blood Pool Method to sacrifice Natalie in exchange for greater power.”

“I had no choice. While Natalie was away, I had to painfully use the Nether River Fire to burn him to death, even annihilating his soul.”

“But when Natalie discovered I had personally burned Hades to death, she went on a rampage against Magic God Village.”

“In the Black Obsidian Temple, she obtained the Necronomicon and summoned the Nether King’s army. Combined with her prodigious talent, even our master was no match for her. The entire Magic God Village was massacred.”

“In the end, I had to gouge out my own eyes to temporarily quell her rage.”

Upon hearing this, everyone looked at him with admiring gazes.

To sacrifice oneself for others, to gouge out one’s own eyes – this level of courage was not something an ordinary person could possess.

They could imagine the horrific scene at that time.

Although this was only Redno’s side of the story, his expression didn’t seem like he was acting.

One could only say that even Magic God level figures can make grave mistakes.

“If you had stopped Hades back then, there wouldn’t have been such a tragedy later,” someone sighed.

“The truly good person was wronged and forced to mutilate himself, while the villain is remembered fondly. This feeling…”

After hearing Redno’s words, everyone felt indignant on his behalf.

They had thought Natalie’s story was tragic enough, but they didn’t expect Redno’s to be even more heart-wrenching.

“Natalie, who doesn’t know the truth, might be a bit happier than you.”

“At least she has the motivation to live on.”

“But you… you’ve been wronged for thousands of years, bearing the pain for Hades all this time. That’s truly…”

Their voices trailed off, too overwhelmed by emotion to continue.

You helplessly watch your best friend and the person you love together, all while keeping their dark secret.

The frustration must have been unbearable.

If it had ended there, perhaps time would have healed the wounds. But what followed was even more agonizing.

You save the woman from being harmed by your friend, but end up being misunderstood.

Your childhood friend becomes your sworn enemy, and you’re forced to bury the truth and your feelings deep in your heart for millennia.

This Redno is truly pitiable.

Everyone cast sympathetic glances at Redno, this level 3000 Magic God.

Seeing this, Redno shook his head and laughed bitterly, “Since then, I’ve never seen her again, but I know very well that one day, she will return.”

“Master did mention she had a destined enemy of a thousand years…” A Silly Cutie looked at the sighing Redno, her heart filled with sympathy.

“Then why are you in the Blood Hell Forbidden Land? Could it be… Hades isn’t dead?” Fist Sage, who had been silent until now, suddenly asked.

“That’s right, Hades isn’t actually dead. He… is now the Blood Hell Demon Lord.”

Redno’s words sent shockwaves through the group.

“I’m baffled as to how he still exists in this form even after his soul was annihilated, and how he managed to build such a vast force as the blood race.”

“I don’t know his ultimate goal, but I do know his ambition is boundless. He constantly slaughters humans, throwing them into the blood pools he’s built, creating countless blood race members who worship him. It seems he’s pursuing the path of faith to achieve godhood.”

“I’m here because I don’t want him to continue his destructive path. I’ve been guarding this place to prevent further human slaughter.”

Redno sighed deeply, “It’s a pity that back then, I was no match for him. Even after mastering the Nine-Layered Nether Moon to its highest level, I still couldn’t defeat him.”

After saying this, he looked intently at Jiang Cheng but didn’t speak further.

As Redno fell silent, the atmosphere grew heavy.

The others wanted to say something, but the words caught in their throats.

After all, they were just game players. Although they sympathized with Redno’s plight, it was difficult for them to promise him anything.

Currently, they lacked the ability to confront the formidable Blood Hell Demon Lord.

Suddenly, Jiang Cheng had a flash of insight. When he killed Blood Raven earlier, he might have disrupted the Blood Hell Demon Lord’s plans.

Perhaps Blood Raven was a crucial piece in the Blood Hell Demon Lord’s scheme.

Otherwise, he wouldn’t have gained the Blood Hell Demon Lord’s power of observation.

Since he had this power, he might eventually have to face the Blood Hell Demon Lord himself.

“If you could teach me the Nether Moon Rebirth technique, perhaps I could help you deal with him,” Jiang Cheng suggested.

Redno was momentarily stunned, but after a while, he shook his head,

“I appreciate your willingness, but it’s not that simple. The Nether Moon technique is a bridge to communicate with the Nether River. Initially, learning it isn’t particularly special.”

“But the Rebirth technique is a ninth-order spell within the Nether Moon technique. One must enter the Nether World’s Nether River, soak in its waters, and use the Heart of the Nether River to absorb its power to truly master it.”

“A thousand years ago, Hades drained the Nether River. I was fortunate enough to successfully refine the Heart of the Nether River and master the Nether River Rebirth technique.”

“With only the Heart of the Nether River but no Nether River water, no one else can learn the Nether Moon technique.”

Redno said with great regret, “You shouldn’t wonder why I gave you the Heart of the Nether River… I was clinging to a faint hope. If you truly wish to learn the Nether Moon technique, you’d have to find the Nether River water.”

“Apart from the Nether World, where else would there be Nether River water?” Jiang Cheng asked.

“Nowhere. The Nether Emperor was slain by Hades. There’s no place in the world where Nether River water will manifest again, unless a new Nether Emperor emerges.”
