Hell's Handbook

Chapter 328

The current gods do they represent the Handbook? Su Jin suddenly asked the Mad Hatter. The Mad Hatter was the only one who could answer this question of his.

The Mad Hatter stared back at him, as though he hadnt expected Su Jin to ask such a question. He hesitated for some time, then said, I can only say be careful of them.

Oh? Su Jin taped his nose. The Mad Hatter didnt answer him directly, but telling him to be careful was equivalent to saying that the current gods certainly did not represent the Handbook. Otherwise, it was pointless for Su Jin to be careful of them.

The Handbook held absolute power over the owners, but so far, it seemed to exist purely to pick the best of the owners. After all, it was so easy for the Handbook to kill the owners.

In that case, the current gods couldnt possibly represent the Handbook. They were probably still in hiding, or perhaps for whatever reason, they hadnt made a move yet. But they were definitely going to do so, it was just a matter of time.

Ive brought you the news I was supposed to, so watch out for yourself. The Mad Hatter stood up and looked ready to leave.

Didnt you already seal off my universe? They can still get here? asked Su Jin.

The Mad Hatter laughed bitterly and nodded. You really think too highly of me. Im only considered a mid-level god. Having the ability to alter space is rare, but Im not the only one with it. Im not even the only one in my faction. The other side naturally has some who have this ability too.

My seal works against owners who rely on items to move between worlds, but its useless against gods at the same level as myself.

Su Jin laughed bitterly too, but he wasnt too worried. Xu Ran and himself existed in this universe, plus the Demon Lord was staying here at the moment too. As long as the gods did not appear in huge numbers, they could deal with one or two.

Deities will face a suppression of their powers when they enter my universe, and Xu Ran and I can combine forces to fight them. As long as they dont attack as an army, I think we can defend ourselves, said Su Jin.

The Mad Hatter nodded, but said worriedly, Youd better be careful, though. If you get one of those few high level deities, youre going to die even if you combine your efforts.

You mean gods at the same level as the Demon Lord? asked Su Jin.

The Mad Hatter shook his head. No, no. The Demon Lord used to be a high level deity, but she had been trapped for too long and has been greatly weakened. Returning to her peak is almost impossible. So, if a high level god manages to get here, Id advise you not to rely on the Demon Lord. Run immediately and find a way to hide yourself in Hells Bar.

Got it. Su Jin nodded. The Mad Hatter did not say anymore. He leaped into his own top hat and disappeared.

Su Jin did not waste any time and went straight to B City to look for Xu Ran, who was training with the Demon Lord. He didnt ask to speak to Xu Ran privately and said, The Mad Hatter came to visit me with some news. He said the deities opposing his faction are now thinking of killing off all the owners with the potential to become gods, so you need to be careful.

Xu Ran looked at the Demon Lord and said with a smile, I should be fine, but you why dont you move over? We should be fine if the three of us look out for each other.

The Demon Lord glared at Xu Ran. Dont count on me, I have my own problems if other deities come here, the most I can do is to provide information about them. I wont be able to handle anything else.

Xu Ran and Su Jin exchanged disappointed glances. They were going to be a lot weaker without someone as powerful as the Demon Lord with them.

Why dont we join hands and see how strong we are together? Then at least when danger arrives, we wont panic or take too long to react accordingly, said Xu Ran.

Su Jin nodded. He and Xu Ran had no conflict of interest, and after what they had experienced together, they were actually sort of friends. Now that they were both going to face great dangers ahead, it was best if they could build some trust between them.

The Demon Lord excused herself and walked away. The two men were about to face deities, so it was only right for her to let them fight by themselves. After she left, Xu Ran motioned to Su Jin to come with him. He led Su Jin to the edge of the training arena, then flicked his finger and made a psychokinesis clone of himself appear in the arena.

Do you need me to teach you how to do that? asked Xu Ran.

Su Jin shook his head. He glanced at the arena and a beam of silver light instantly turned into Su Jin and stood opposite Xu Rans clone.

Not bad, I didnt expect you to understand this technique so quickly. Xu Ran gave him an approving nod, then pressed a hand on his Handbook. An ancient looking longsword floated up and flew to his clone.

Alright! If we want to know how capable each other is, we need to fight each other. But now is not the time to fight to the death, so well just use our clones to fight.

Su Jin nodded in agreement as he pressed a hand against his own Handbook. The boning knife floated up and flew toward his clone.

The Vast Skies Sword is an Earth Level Spirit Power weapon. A swing of the sword makes the vast skies shake! It has two skills. Split costs 100 Spirit Power points to clone itself without any upper limits. Shocking the Skies costs 300 Spirit Power points. It creates a hundred-meter longsword of air that can slice through anything, Xu Ran introduced his swords properties to Su Jin.

Su Jin calmly said, The Boning Knife is a God Level Spirit Power weapon. It is a weapon jointly created by several gods and works with every element in the world. There is nothing it cannot injure and no living creature it cannot kill. It comes with two skills. Judgment costs 1,000 Spirit Power points and anything within a certain radius will be destroyed completely with one strike, including space itself. Punishment costs 10,000 Spirit Power points and it punishes any living creature by destroying their body and soul. There is no escape, not even by a god.

Xu Ran was stunned for a moment before he asked, Did you say God Level

Yes, its a God Level item. Su Jin nodded.

Xu Ran burst out laughing and dispelled his clone immediately. He made a face and said, Then whats the point in having a duel? You just need to activate one of these skills and the fight will be over! Is teasing me very fun?

Su Jin realized that he had been unfair to Xu Ran indeed, so he said, Or why dont we skip the weapons and fight barehanded?

Fight barehanded? Im not the one whos trained my body to the point its as strong as a demon. Fighting with you barehanded is as good as telling you to kill me. Xu Ran sighed. Su Jin had become an owner later than himself, but he seemed to have surpassed him in every aspect. Perhaps the most formidable person in this universe was no longer himself but Su Jin.

You might become the most formidable person in this universe in no time, Xu Ran was generous in his compliments and told Su Jin exactly what he thought.

Su Jin did not think so, however. On the surface, he seemed to be more formidable than Xu Ran, but it was hard to say how many more trump cards Xu Ran was holding on to. Besides, Xu Ran had reached a point where he had to ask the Demon Lord to help him make a breakthrough. That meant that Xu Ran was definitely not someone who was weaker than himself.

Besides, Xu Ran had probably gathered a lot of data about himself, while he knew very little about Xu Ran. As the saying goes, knowing yourself and your enemy well will result in a favorable battle result. It was the same with owners who were at a similar level. If they really had to fight to the death, Su Jin wasnt sure if he could defeat Xu Ran.

Its too bad that my team, Team Blue Skies, isnt here. Otherwise, they would be able to help. Xu Ran shook his head sadly. He was unable to get his teammates to come over because of the seal that the Mad Hatter had placed around his universe. But Xu Ran didnt know about the seal and had no idea why his teammates couldnt come in anymore.

Su Jin had no intention of breaking the Mad Hatters seal. Otherwise, they would end up facing not only deities, but Shen Wus subordinates as well.

So were not going to fight? asked Su Jin.

Xu Ran waved his hand and grumbled, Your weapon is so powerful, so theres no point in fighting. Ill find you a place to stay, and we can interact more over time. Were both psychokinesis users anyway, so if we really have to team up and fight, we just need to send thoughts to each other.

Su Jin thought about it and agreed. He was the only one left in his house in S City, so whether he went back or not didnt matter. He decided to just stay in B City with Xu Ran.

The next morning, he heard explosions. He sent his psychokinesis toward where the sounds were coming from to find that Xu Ran and the Demon Lord were engaged in a fierce battle. Or rather, the Demon Lord was teaching Xu Ran a lesson.

My goodness me! Why dont you get it! When youre fighting a god, you dont just need pure strength! You need experience and technique too! Remember this, young man every deity is a genius in fighting. If you keep this attitude up, you are going to die a horrible death.

Xu Ran lay on the ground, his body covered in burn marks. He panted heavily as he gave up and said, Got it. Let me rest for a while, then we can try again.

Sure! Its been such a long time since Ive thrashed someone, so you can come at me as many times as you like, said the Demon Lord with a snicker.

Since hes resting, how about we have a round? Su Jin walked into the arena, stretched his limbs and got into a fighting stance.

Ohhh! Today is my lucky day, since Im getting a one for one deal! I love punching bags, especially human punching bags! The Demon Lords eyes were filled with excitement.
