Lord of Death

In over a million years, Roy refrained from involving himself in the affairs of the four divine beast families in the underworld. However, Shelley excelled in developing these families, showcasing her undeniable abilities.

Roy, trusting Shelley, delegated the task of collecting information on the material plane to her. Meanwhile, he had his own matters to attend to—something that had been delayed for more than a million years. He hoped those involved were still present.

Without utilizing the power of will, Roy swiftly flew to Tiedao Gorge and returned to the underworld through its plane teleportation array. The residence of the Lord of Death, Netherworld Mountain, stood as the highest peak in the entire underworld.

Roy's strength made his journey smooth, and his flying speed was so impressive that it could dissuade ill intentions. His power showed that when you are strong enough, the world tends to befriend you.

As Roy approached Netherworld Mountain, an isolated peak shone with green light. The entire mountain was shrouded in three layers of clouds and mist: white, gray, and purple. Indigo thunder and lightning chains hung from the sky, enveloping the mountain. Roy sensed the thunder-like power of the Lord God within these chains.

Undeterred, Roy rushed into the lightning chains, encountering a translucent film. Despite the film's terrifying power, Roy effortlessly tore it apart with the power of his will. Thunder and lightning erupted like giant dragons, but Roy, with precise control, subdued them.

A fishhook, wielded by the water god clone of Lilia, the Lord of Death, pierced the space with unparalleled power. Roy caught the fishhook with two fingers, initiating a powerful confrontation. Roy realized the opponent had about 80% of the power of their own will—the water god clone of Lilia.

After the encounter, the fishing lines tied Roy, and he was pulled towards Netherworld Mountain like a fish. Despite the initial fear, Roy's dominance left an impression on two small green snakes observing the spectacle.

The fishing line led Roy to a small lake near Netherworld Mountain, where a red-haired girl awaited. She questioned why Roy didn't break free, given his strength.

Roy saluted the red-haired girl, acknowledging her as the Lord of Death. The Lord of Death, uninterested in competing, noted the significant power gap between Paragon and main god divine clones.

Roy requested the Lord of Death to check on the status of his parents in hell, but the Lord of Death declined. The "Heart of the Underworld" could explore everything, yet the Lord of Death seemed unwilling to assist him.
