Chapter 286 Sealing the Evil Dragon
Chapter 286 Sealing the Evil Dragon
"No problem! I guarantee I'll complete the mission!"
Fortunately, although Xiaoyu often doesn't follow the rules, she can always prioritize things when it matters.
Therefore, after Felicia reminded her, Jade immediately put away her playful mood and took out a metal statue from her backpack. After examining it for a moment, she placed it directly below the "Vallon" figure.
This is a statue of the Holy Lord of this universe, which Riley brought to Section 13 for preservation after the downfall of the Mafia, serving as a reference prototype. It was created as a replica using Section 13's high-tech equipment and wondrous air magic, scaled down proportionally.
Although it doesn't look very big, after the demonic energy of the Fire Demon is extracted, it is enough to serve as a sealing vessel to hold the soul of the Holy Lord from a parallel universe.
After all, the body of this Saint from a parallel universe had already been shattered and destroyed by Riley in Tom Holland's universe.
Therefore, in order to preserve the soul of the Holy Lord in this parallel universe for a long time, and to fulfill the promise made to Riley and Hei Xiaoyu in the parallel universe—to send the Holy Lord back to the parallel universe and complete the timeline loop—it is necessary to provide the Holy Lord's soul with a temporary place to reside.
It's worth mentioning that the main material of the statue is the vibranium that Riley scraped off the Spider-Slayer robot when Shendu and the others plotted against him.
It was precisely because of the many wonderful properties of vibranium that Riley was confident that this miniature statue, which had never appeared in ancient books and was a product of modern air magic, was enough to bind the soul of the Holy Lord tightly and prevent him from causing any more trouble!
In a sense...
This should be considered the Holy Lord reaping what he sowed, shooting himself in the foot.
"Demons and monsters, leave! Demons and monsters, leave!"
With the last crucial item in place, the father, now fully prepared, took out a sharp sword, imitating the token used by the Eight Immortals when they sealed the Holy Lord. He then hopped around on the spot, chanting incantations. With each step, a circle of golden runes lit up the ground, echoing the mysterious incantations gradually emerging on the miniature statue.
In an instant, a golden light shot out from the old man's sword, piercing through layers of obstacles and accurately hitting the struggling "Vallon".
The already weakened Saint was powerless to resist his father's final killing move. Amidst the heart-wrenching, ghostly howls, his soul was forcibly extracted from Valon's body and continuously flowed into the miniature statue.
"No! You can't do this! I am the only great demon in the world—!"
By this time, the Holy Lord, who had already realized that there was no way to reverse the situation, had lost his previous arrogance and domineering attitude.
The voice began to become shrill and distorted, sounding fierce yet weak, pleading and threatening.
"If you destroy me, an even more powerful demon will emerge to fill my void! You will regret it! Listen...!!!"
"Enough with the nonsense. You seem to have forgotten that a Holy Lord already exists in my universe?"
Before the Holy Lord could finish speaking, Riley's figure passed through the dimensional barrier and appeared directly inside the cave.
Then, with a swift movement, he grasped the Holy Lord's soul firmly in his palm, despite the soul's inherent ethereal nature.
"If you don't court death, you won't die, Holy Lord. I was originally planning to keep you around for a while, like a pet. But now, you actually dared to corrupt my mind, to make me turn against those around me, to commit irreparable mistakes... You're challenging my bottom line, Holy Lord, so you have no value in continuing to exist. Rest in peace!"
Meeting the terrified look in Shendu's eyes, Riley slowly and deliberately revealed the real reason why it had met its end prematurely. Before Shendu could beg for mercy, Riley pressed Shendu's head down and forcibly stuffed it into the miniature statue!
