The enigmatic flame ravaged Marvin's body. Even Marvin himself hadn't noticed it sneaking up on him.
His first reaction was that someone must have mounted a sneak attack on him. The flame came so suddenly that he didn't have time to defend against it.
But next second, he was shocked to find out that this flame actually came from inside!
He checked his interface.
Countless lines of logs flashed on his interface, and Marvin read through everything as fast as he could.
That flame actually came from his Bloodline!
'What's going on?'
'Why so suddenly?'
'Is the Shapeshift Sorcerer class advancing on its own?'
Marvin could feel the immense power churning up.
That was the power of the Hell Spawn!
He actually had noticed something subtly wrong with the 3rd rank of his Shapeshift Sorcerer class.
His bloodline originally was very thin. In this aspect, it could be said that he had no real gift with the bloodline. Compared to Daniela, Turalyon, and the other pure-blooded descendants of the Cridland clan, Marvin's bloodline simply couldn't be traced back to an Ancient Angel. He could only use Beast Shape and Shadow Shape, and the latter one was due to the Book of Nalu. As for Diamond Shape, it had come as the result of a change in his Bloodline.
After taking Diross' potion, his Bloodline suddenly became weird.
The Magic Addict Shape was quite strange. This Shape seemed to be of little value, but it was in fact an incredible skill for preserving one's life in a desperate situation!
Moreover, to some extent, Marvin's Magic Addict Shape just happened to be a Hell Spawn state! This faintly linked him to the ancient legends of Hell.
And now, his Shapeshift Sorcerer bloodline, which hadn't had any signs of change for a long time, suddenly awakened! And furthermore, it was evolving on its own!
That flame kept burning Marvin's body before giving way to new recovery, as if he was being reborn.
That feeling didn't hurt at all, it was actually very satisfying!
From start to finish, Marvin was wrapped in a black flame, as if he was under the Molten Archdevil's magic.
But Marvin himself knew that this was a transformation.
He could feel his own power growing!
[Shapeshift Sorcerer advancement…]
[Body temporarily entering a state of metamorphosis… During this time, all abilities except for Shapeshift Sorcerer abilities are sealed.]
[You obtained the title -Molten Son-…]
[Advanced False Divine Vessel… Transformation detected…]
The flashing logs made Marvin feel overwhelmed.
But he wasn't worried about the strange situation of the advanced False Divine Vessel.
That thing's compatibility was incredibly high. It felt like no matter what field progressed, the advanced False Divine Vessel would mix with it.
The only thing that puzzled Marvin was the question of why his own Bloodline suddenly got promoted.
Could it have been stimulated by the Molten Archdevil's avatar?
But the answer quickly showed itself.
…
Everyone turned to look in surprise as Marvin turned into a black flame.
The sky over Feinan suddenly burst open.
A pair of black wings flashed past, followed by a frightening roar!
That was the roar of a Devil!
"In the sky! A Hellgate!"
"Which Lord of Hell is it? Didn't they reach an agreement with the Astral Sea? Could it be that they want to go back on it to try to get the Fate Tablet?"
When the Hellgate appeared, even those already in battle couldn't just continue with it any longer.
They all broke away from their opponents.
Especially the Berserk God. He had been pushed into a sorry state by Kangen and Jessica, looking as if he had been abused!
If not for the fact that he could borrow the War God's Domain, he might have already been killed by Kangen!
The other side's Blade Techniques had already reached the peak of this Universe, far exceeding the limits of mankind.
As a former Human, the Berserk God couldn't imagine how Kangen had gone so far.
The Human body had hard limitations, everyone knew that. How could all these people here today have defied that common bit of knowledge?
He didn't know.
But the appearance of the Hellgate gave him another big headache.
The balance of the forces in the Universe was very delicate right now.
Because of Lance's prestige, the Astral Sea acted the most arrogant and overbearing. Hell and the Abyss couldn't stand each other, but they would prioritize the Astral Sea as their enemy to some degree.
But the invasion of the Astral Beast was a huge event for the entire Universe so the Astral Sea naturally made some quick negotiations with the other forces.
It was safe to say that even if the Fate Tablet came into being, both sides should follow the rules they had set up.
The Berserk God's appearance already showed that the Astral Sea had sneakily infringed upon the agreement. What they were most wary of was if Hell also sent someone to Feinan that was on the same level, or even higher...
Although this shouldn't be possible due to the Planar Barrier and the interference of the recently destroyed Universe Magic Pool, the Berserk God, that kind of fake Mid God, was already at the limit of the power level that one could be at and still be able to enter Feinan via the loophole they were abusing. Surely Hell could only send some Greater Devils at most.
But the Hellgate still caused a panic among the forces of the Astral Sea!
Especially after Diross' high-profile move. Who knew whether an ancient Lord of Hell would try to stake it all for the 4th Fate Tablet!
But then, their worries calmed down.
A Lord of Hell really did emerge from the Hellgate.
But first of all, that poor Lord of Hell didn't come of his own volition; rather, he was thrown down!
Second, this was just an avatar!
The Molten Archdevil's avatar!
When Marvin saw that person having the exact same flame as himself, he instantly understood.
The Molten Archdevil had been driven out of Hell!
Marvin had no need to guess who the culprit was.
As expected, Diross' voice echoed from behind the Hellgate. "Dear Marvin, this is my gift to you."
"Please don't be modest, you have to enjoy it thoroughly."
The Hellgate then let out a sound before closing on its own.
The Molten Archdevil Avatar bellowed, and the countless black flames enveloping him turned into meteors flying down at Marvin!
He couldn't suppress the urge coming from the Hell Spawn.
He and Marvin met yet again, so regardless of what else happened now, only one of them could survive.
The other one had to be swallowed!
This was the cruel law of Hell!
Marvin wasn't afraid at all.
He could feel the power of the transformation in his Bloodline.
If he could kill the Molten Archdevil's avatar, not only would his strength improve greatly, but it would also greatly boost the morale of Feinan's forces!
The two flames mixed together.
An enormous plume of flames suddenly burst out in that land of Order!
It was a Molten Domain created by the attraction of both sides' Hell Spawns!
