<h4>Chapter 760: Greed Is the Sin</h4>

    On the golden trident, the color of the Blue Key was much gentler, as if another ocean was contained inside. The vague sound of flowing water gave the feeling that it would run eternally.


    The Blue Gate behind the altar had slightly lost the transcendental, intangible sacredness too. The vague light flowed and reverberated with the key.


    Immediately, the hollow created by the Blue Gate was covered in the hazy, illusionary blueness.


    Lucien’s spiritual power, which was spread out, was bounced back the moment it touched the blueness. As a result, his connection with the outside world was cut out.


    Lucien’s heart became heavy, and he was more solemn than ever. Harex had truly controlled the timing perfectly. He had only just triggered “Magic Order” in advance and hadn’t escaped from the range of the Blue Gate yet with other spells when he was trapped by the weird barrier. If the enemy were one secondte, he would’ve reached Natasha’s side through Precise Transfer.


    Solemn as he might have been, Lucien was not in the least desperate or frustrated. After all, although there was still a major gap between his strength and the peak of legendary, it shouldn’t be a problem for him to resist the enemy for a while. As long as he could diminish the barrier while resisting it, together with Natasha’s attack from the outside, it wouldn’t be difficult for him to get out of the trouble. After all, he didn’te alone. Also, he would have finished the barrier with one attack of “Positron Cannon” if it weren’t a space-time one!


    <i>However, since he could slightly make use of the power of the Blue Gate, this ‘barrier’ is not to be underestimated, </i>Lucien thought to himself. He took out a crystal ball and activated his prophecy, looking for the weakness on the barrier. In the meantime, he let out aplicated spell. “Abrupt Magic Reverse!”


    Now that he had to deal with the barrier, he had to consider his own defense first.


    A weird mirror full of weird patterns appeared before Lucien, like a channel that connected a different world.


    Harex did not attack immediately. Instead, he frowned and looked at Tyers who was in the status transformation circle. His body had already been contaminated by the utter darkness and was wriggling nonstop, like an amalgamation of negative emotions that were corrupting the environment nonstop.


    ck lines that were barely visible extended into the vacuum from the amalgamation and connected all the negative feelings around. It was impossible to tell who was the main body and who was the projection. They were like the ubiquitous “cloud of probabilities”, whose information could only be determined after the eventual copse. The only difference was that the object transformed from the Dark Jellyfish was interacting with the surroundings and showing no sign of copse.


    Of course, it did not have the unique feeling of spreading copse inside the Pathway of Immortality or the sense of supremacy and transcendence that came with it. There was still a major gap from the level of demigods.


    “The transformation has beenpleted so quickly?” Harex was slightly surprised. However, he did not have any experience and could only make conclusions with his keen instincts.


    “If I don’t control Tyers, it will be a major problem after he gets used to such a status...” Harex decided to focus his attention on the status transformation circle. It was not because he was scared of Tyers who had been transformed into the status of primeval devils. He was instead worried that the guy would escape or kill himself with such a weird form of existence, in which case his wless n of status transformation would be in vain.


    He stared at Lucien, who had just performed Abrupt Magic Reverse, with his crimson and cold eyes, before he waved the gold trident. Hazy blueness appeared before him,pletely blocking him from Lucien.


    “This is your opportunity. If you can open the Blue Restraint and escape before I seed, it will mean that today is your lucky day and you won’t be killed by me, but if you are still here after my status transformation ispleted, don’t me me for being too cruel.” Harex’s sentence was long, but because of the weird quakes in his voice, Lucien understood what he meant immediately.


    Lucien was not exasperated or influenced by Harex’s provocation at all. His attention was not fully focused on breaking the blockage between them and stopping the status transformation. He also cast his spell.


    “Luxury Cracking!”


    As long as he could get out of the range of the Blue Gate, even though Harex sessfully transformed his status, he could still retreat with Natasha easily. Also, even if Harex’s transformation worked out, there would still be a long way to go before he became a demigod. He would only be on par with Mr. President at best. It was not a life-blighting crisis. So, why should he try to stop the guy and waste his precious time in this ce?


    Crack, crack, crack.


    The hazy blueness let out crisp explosions under “Luxury Cracking”, and the ripples shook violently. However, the Blue Gate was absolutely still. As a result, the barrier was not broken at all even though it was weakened.


    “It will take at least five times of ‘Luxury Cracking’ to break it with violence. The time may be enough for Harex toplete the status transformation of the Dark Jellyfish...” Lucien concluded based on the feedback of the attack. Therefore, he was ready tounch the Luxury Crack that was attached with Hand of Uncertainties!


    Although his spiritual power would be severely exhausted in such a way, his current capabilities could already support him to perform a dozen times. He did not need to worry about too many things now that he was in a hurry.


    Right then, Harex suddenly burst out a roar, and the seawater around was surging fast.


    Lucien’s cast was slowed down, and he noticed unexpected changes on the altar.


    Harex had been standing in the other magic circle toplete the status transformation through “Dark Jellyfish” Tyers. In such a way, he could both achieve his purpose and restrain the negative feelings inside the puppet without affecting himself. However, at this moment, the runes and lines that connected the two magic circles were covered in pain, desperation, and greed.


    The ever-wriggling amalgamation, on the other hand, had passed through the restraint of magic circles at some point and jumped on Harex’s body!


    Such a change was utterly unexpected. Not only was Harex shocked and infuriated, but Lucien, who was quite familiar with the status transformation circle, also felt that it was uncanny. Although he did not know the unique symbols and patterns of the sea ns, it was not hard for him to tell that the amalgamation of primeval devils could have easily escaped from the magic circle.


    What went wrong?


    Though surprised, Harex was not panicked. The golden trident in his hands glittered again, and tides surged out and about to block the amalgamation of primeval devils that was almost kissing his body.


    “Haha. Harex, it’s useless. Your reaction is not bad, albeit a bitte, because you are fundamentally wrong. I always tell everybody that greed will lower the IQ of an expert, but nobody believes me. Hehe. Such idiots appear every day.” The ck, wriggling amalgamation of primeval devils suddenly mocked.


    The familiar voice and mockery stunned Lucien.


    “The Lord of Hell?”


    “Maltimus!” Harex was no stranger to the voice either. He roared in both shock and fury, and his previous calmness had a hint of panic now.


    Even though he was a top legend who dominated the ocean, he would still be panicked and scared when he learned that he had fallen into a trap of a demigod who had existed for who knew how many years!


    Maltimus revealed his identity without any disguise exactly for the momentary panic. He seized the w on Harex’s mind as the ck, wriggling shadow crawled into his body, thus finishing the preliminary integration!


    “Hahaha. Ever since the end of the Age of Myths, I’ve been looking for a shell in which I could arrive at the main material world stably. It’s a pity that nothing except the top legends can bear my strength, not even the body of a dragon. So, I never found an opportunity. Thankfully, Viken secretly released the ways to transform into primeval devils, and thankfully, you people who are blinded by greed have been trying relentlessly. I can barely miss the opportunities even if I want to. Who knows the primeval devils better than I do?” Maltimus continued to mock Harex with his words andughter, hoping to finish the possession as soon as possible.


    “No!” Harex held back the fluctuations of his emotions and activated the Blue Key on his golden trident without any hesitation, which then emanated an unimaginable brilliance.


    The Blue Gate shivered slightly as the hazy blueness waspressed and concentrated on the Blue Key. Then, infinite blueness surged out of the Blue Key, like an overwhelming and dangerous tide.


    The tide galloped like horses with the brilliance that was as thick as oil, brushing the amalgamation of primeval devils that had partly melted into Harex’s body, dismembering the creeping cknessyer byyer.


    At the dangerous moment, Harex did not attempt to control his strength but simply allowed the surging seawater to overflow. As a result, Lucien, who had just gotten rid of the Blue Restraint, was immobilized by the thick light again.


    “Idiot, why are you stopping me?” Lucien cursed angrily. <i>When faced with the Lord of Hell, shouldn’t all the creatures of the main material world who are sane take the same side? I’m about to stop him from upying your body!</i>


    However, Lucien knew very well that Harex had little time to distinguish friends from foes at such a moment and would only rule out all the possible dangers. It was not unusual for sorcerers to work with devils!


    “Luxury Cracking!”


    The Luxury Cracking enhanced with Hand of Uncertainties that he prepared before wasunched, and the thick seawater around Lucien was immediately gone. However, because of the influence of the Blue Gate, there was still a tiny bit left up ahead.


    Lucien was about to continue with Grandeur Obliteration on the Robe of Grand Arcanists when a silver sword suddenly shed in his pupils. The tiny bit of blueness immediately fell apart and copsed.


    Natasha had arrived in time after the Blue Restraint was gone!
