Hell's Handbook

Chapter 365

The man with fox ears who had called himself the God of Sins stretched his arms wide. The playful look in his eyes became authoritative. So authoritative that all five of them subconsciously wanted to avoid his gaze.

Dont avoid his gaze! If you do that, youll lose! Su Jins voice echoed inside their minds. They quickly understood and made sure to look straight at the man instead of avoiding eye contact.

The God of Sins scanned each one of them, then looked a little curiously at Su Jin, Youre a strange fellow. Not even the rare ones who became gods through psychokinesis have such powerful levels of psychokinesis. Im looking forward to seeing how you do.

Im looking forward to it too, Su Jin stared straight at the man. So what if this guy was a god? They were going to be gods in the future too. If they were to fear this god now, or hide from him, then how were they going to fight other gods in the war that was to come? Would they have to cover their eyes and fight for their lives? That would be ridiculous.

The other four had figured this out as well, so they nodded slightly at Su Jin as a sign of their gratitude. Even Shen Wu gave Su Jin a nod. They had been in a really dangerous situation just now. If they had avoided the God of Sins gaze, they might have almost failed the test.

The God of Sins observed them again, then said to Durand, A body that cannot die. Thats a pretty good ability to have. But if I were to smash you into bits as small as ash, would you still be able to revive?

Durands expression faltered. He supposedly had a body that could not die, but it was impossible to actually possess such a body. Even deities did not dare to claim they were immortal. Having a body that could not die was really just having a greater ability to recover from injuries and illness compared to others, and there was a limit to it too. Just like what the God of Sins said, if he were to be crushed into extremely small pieces, he would not be able to revive himself. But those who knew that were very few, and those who could possibly do that to him were even fewer.

The God of Sins then looked at Natasha and chortled, Jade Dragon? Youre just an extra large scorpion. But youre good when it comes to anything that requires strength, and your thick skin is good enough to defend against most attacks. Its just that you dont have a lot of space to develop further, so out of the entire group, your chance of becoming a god is the smallest, unless you give up the ability to transform into a dragon!

Natasha scowled at these remarks. The ability to turn into a jade dragon was something she was extremely proud of, yet this god made it sound so pathetic. At the same time, the guy was a real god, so she couldnt argue with him. Also, she knew what he meant by having little room for development. Her transformation was not very useful when it came to very difficult battles, since there were times she couldnt gain any advantage for herself, and was even an easier target due to her large size.

The God of Sins moved on to Oscar. He made a face and snorted, One who only knows how to hide in the shadows. You cant hide in places where theres nothing but light. But at least you can transform your shadows into a lot of things, so as long as you pick the right path, you can achieve what you want.

Oscar frowned. His ability seemed magical with its many transformations, but there were actually a lot of limits. His ability had been curbed so many times since they started on this challenge. The stone statues outside the building had been able to ignore his ability and hurt him; the lava was too hot, so he could not control his shadows well; the part where they fell out of the sky was the absolute worst because he couldnt even use his abilities. The God of Sins was not spouting rubbish at all.

After the comments about Oscar were done, Shen Wu turned to look at the God of Sins. He knew that the God of Sins wouldnt forget him. And just as he expected, the God of Sins took one look at Shen Wu and spat in a disgusted voice, The ability to control temperature? I hate powers like that! Heat is everything!

Shen Wu was a little stunned. The God of Sins had made astute remarks about each persons powers, but when it came to his, the god just said he hated it for no good reason. That wasnt what he expected at all.

After he was done commenting on everyone, the God of Sins said calmly, Im not trying to pick on you guys. On the contrary, Im trying to help you. You might finally grasp what Im saying at the moment you get the opportunity to become a god.

Thanks in advance, Su Jin chuckled. He stared with interest at the God of Sins and said, Dont mind me asking, but why are you called the God of Sins? Based on your title, I would assume youre either a god in charge of sins and punishment, or youre a god whos committed a lot of sins.

The God of Sins frowned, because he felt that this psychokinetic owner didnt seem afraid of him at all. He snapped, Young man, one ought to be fearful and filled with reverence before a god. If you continue being so arrogant, I might end up killing you before you even start the test! His index finger suddenly grew longer and resembled a sharp sword.

But Su Jin didnt seem bothered and said, Im afraid you cant do that. If my guess is right, the second description suits you better. Youre stuck here because youve done something terribly wrong, right? And all of us here is an atonement of sorts for you.

Humph, you make it sound like youve guessed something right, spat the God of Sins with contempt.

Su Jin tapped his nose and said, I heard a story once about a man who did something wrong and he was trapped somewhere to atone for his mistake. He had to repair fishnets for the fishermen to make up for what he had done, and he had to repair more than 100,000 nets to atone fully for his sins.

In other words, were like your fishnets. Unless we fail the test, you cant do anything to us owners who might become new gods, right?

The God of Sins twitched his mouth and said in a displeased voice, Humph! If you think so! But dont say I didnt warn you if you guys dont pass the test, I will definitely tear all of you to pieces as a punishment for your lack of reverence!

But Su Jin chuckled and said, If we were allowed to live even after failing the test, I might have regretted my actions. But in reality, if we fail, were definitely going to die, isnt it?

Ha! You seem to understand that part really well! Cherish your time now! Once you fail, I swear I will shred you to pieces within just one millisecond! snapped the God of Sins through gritted teeth.Uptodated from n0v𝒆lbIn.(c)o/m

Su Jin nodded. He already knew that failure would definitely result in death, so the God of Sins threat meant nothing to him. In fact, dying within one millisecond might actually be a blessing.

The God of Sins waved his hand and five large doors appeared in front of the five owners. He said, These five doors will send you to different parts of the Grave of the Gods, so from now on, you have to fight on your own. Your mission is to get the gravestone of a god, and you will pass once you get it. Those who dont get it prepare to die!

He then waved impatiently at them to hurry up and get out of his sight. The five of them exchanged glances for just a moment and then walked into the door closest to them. They didnt bother to pick and choose since it was pointless to strategize when they didnt even know what lay ahead of them.

They disappeared once they walked through the door. The God of Sins scowled and muttered, Those with psychokinesis are so irritating. These people think they can see through everything, but theyre really just a bunch of egoistical, disgusting idiots!

But his anger didnt last long, and he calmed down again in no time. He murmured to himself, Forget it. The test is going to kill him soon. Once he fails the test, Ill get my chance to vent my frustrations.

Just when he was dreaming about this wonderful moment in the future, he sensed more people entering the volcano. He remarked with surprise, A new group of owners so fast? Looks like Im gonna have loads of fun today! Before he could walk out from his little private spot, several people came toward him.

Youve actually managed to reach this place by yourselves? Not bad, not bad. Wait, this aura A primordial deity? Theres actually a primordial deity whos still alive?! The God of Sins could hardly believe it, but the feeling that came from deep in the soul was very clear to someone like himself.

God of Sins, long time no see. How have you been? said the woman in a veil quietly.

Meanwhile, in a world that was filled with destruction, Su Jin travelled alone. This was a strange world, because it looked like an apocalyptic film from the days of black and white TV. There were destroyed areas everywhere. Some were surrounded by deep, bottomless abysses, some floated in mid air.

This is the real Grave of the Gods, murmured Su Jin to himself as he scanned his surroundings.
