Chapter 913 Cut off the beard
As the six-faced elephant musk deer uttered its last words filled with grief and anger, and fell on its back without moving, the huge world of death seemed to have received some kind of signal, and fell into an extremely strange "stillness".

The gray mist that filled the Gate of the Dead stopped floating, the crows that soared up from the Crow's Nest froze in the air, the Yellow Spring that had been rolling all year round stopped flowing, and countless dead people also solidified on the road of no return that meandered towards the deepest part of the world of the dead.

And in Leon's perception, death, which was countless times more stubborn than time and never stopped for anyone, actually stopped for a very short moment, then condescended to lower its huge body and cast a scrutinizing gaze at him.

Is this what it feels like to be chosen by the power of death...

Unconsciously looking up at the sky, and after "making eye contact" with the non-existent tall figure, Leon had a vague and extremely strange illusion.

At this moment, his soul seemed to have fallen into the bottom of the world of the dead, becoming the hole of a huge "funnel". Driven by some kind of will, the already solidified world of the dead began to "collapse" towards him.

"Zi..."

Along with the familiar piercing noise, [Materialism], which had been lying quietly in the badge panel and firmly occupying the first slot, suddenly burst into an incomparably dazzling red light.

[The current immersion value has exceeded 60 points, and the ability to contact and initially master the rules has been obtained. The hidden characteristics of the different-colored badge "Materialistic Soul" have been activated.]

[Materialist Soul (Red): As a staunch materialist, you firmly believe that matter is the basis of objective existence, that spirit and consciousness are products of matter, and that things you cannot understand are due to your own inaccurate and in-depth understanding of the world...]

【Wearing effect: ……】

[Advanced route: Reached the highest level, cannot continue to advance]

[Hidden Feature: Whenever your understanding of the core rules of a world reaches a certain level, you will gain the ability to transform it to a corresponding degree.

"Zi..."

[You passively accepted the injection of the power of death, and your understanding of the dead world has been improved...]

You are gradually understanding death...

"Zi..."

[Since the living cannot understand death by 50%, the analysis progress is suspended. The current analysis progress of the dead world is 49.9%]

[The power of death continues to tilt towards you]

[The "living" part of you that originated from the present world is being covered by the power of death. After the covering is completed and you are completely transformed into the dead... an abnormal situation has occurred. The power of death is being diverted and the covering speed is slowing down.]

"?!"

After hearing the prompt that the coverage had stopped, Leon, who was closing his eyes and looking up to accept the "baptism" and preparing to temporarily take over the mess of the dead world, was stunned for a moment, and then he seemed to think of something and subconsciously turned his head. In Leon's astonished gaze, a figure that he was very familiar with was standing next to the Gate of the Dead and took the initiative to accept the gaze of that majestic "gaze".

"and many more!!!"

Feeling the power of death leaning towards Emma, ​​Leon couldn't help but feel a sudden pang in his heart. He wanted to stop her from actively stepping into death and prevent her from being left in the world of the dead.

However, the dead world without the Lord of the Dead has entered a state of complete shutdown. Before the new Lord of the Dead appeared, it was almost an extremely huge piece of amber. As a mosquito solidified in it, even moving has become a luxury for Leon.

What's even more terrible is that although Leon swallowed almost all the masters of the dead world, as a living person who has never truly experienced death, his understanding of the power of death is not that profound.

But Emma not only has blood that blurs the lineage between life and death, but she herself is a dead person who once returned to the world from the road of no return. As a being who has successfully comprehended the power of death when she was "alive", she is much closer to death than Leon.

If she hadn't stepped forward, Leon, who had swallowed the "most" deaths, would have smoothly taken over the power of death by relying on the attraction of "quantity". But now that she has stepped forward, the power of death will naturally begin to instinctively tilt towards the real dead.

Damn it! I should have sent her back earlier!

After realizing that he might not be able to compete with Emma, ​​Leon's face suddenly turned pale, and a deep regret emerged in his heart.

Although he seemed to be nonchalant when he was mocking the six-sided elephant deer just now, and threatened that at most he would shoot himself, it did not mean that he could shoot at will.

Not to mention that in order to "kill" the dead, one must consume "ammunition" of the same level, and one cannot resurrect the dead at will. Just looking at the current chaotic situation in the dead world, the person who takes on the power of death will definitely be firmly tied to the dead world.

You know, all the masters of the dead world have been killed by himself, and it is unknown how long it will take for the next being who can comprehend death to appear. However, the dead world must have someone to preside over the authority of death, otherwise it will come to a complete halt like it is now.

This means that even if there is a way to return to the real world, it will most likely take a very long time to fire the first shot. If one's luck is bad enough, it is possible that one may have to wait for hundreds or even thousands of years.

If she took this job, maybe she could rely on the badges she would get in the future to find a way to run back to the real world earlier, but if Emma took over, she didn't know how long she would have to wait here.

"Emma!"

After glaring at the shrinking old man with annoyance, Leon knew that he must have instigated this matter. His face suddenly turned grim, and then he gnashed his teeth and shouted from a distance:
"Don't listen to that old man's nonsense! I have a way to return to the human world earlier, and I don't need you to do it for me! Stop!"

After hearing Leon's call, Emma's figure in the distance couldn't help but sway slightly, then she stopped "looking at" death itself, lowered her head and looked over here softly.

After receiving that gentle gaze, Leon immediately understood what she meant. Emma was telling him that taking over the power of death for him and sitting in the dead world was a choice she made willingly. He didn't need to feel guilty, and there was no need to stop her.

Leon knew her character very well. For Emma, ​​who looked gentle and pretty on the outside but was extremely tough on the inside, once she really made a choice, no matter how much he persuaded her, it would be useless. She would definitely try her best to the end.

Damn it! Damn the old man of the third generation!
