Chapter 942

In the rented apartment, Qin Ye had already adopted his Hell\\\'s Emissary state. Right in front of him was Matthew, who was unconscious and tied to a chair.

A soundproofing restriction had already been set up in the room, but he still didn\\\'t immediately awaken Matthew. Instead, he was still considering how to proceed. Under these circumstances, he had to be extra careful in everything that he did.

In the end, he had poked this hornets\\\' nest after all. The queen of the hornets wasn\\\'t the scary thing, what was truly threatening was the enraged hornet swarm. They were definitely going to be searching all over the city for Matthew.

Furthermore, if Matthew really were the key to the underground church, then the opposition would definitely already have been in the process of bolstering the underground church\\\'s defenses as much as they could. If he were to rush in without developing a clear understanding of the situation first, he would be met by the fiercest retaliation the opposition was capable of putting up, and he would most likely only have a single chance to succeed.

What questions should he ask? Should he spare Matthew\\\'s life to not completely make enemies out of the opposition? Countless questions were flashing through his mind as he tried to consider all of the possible directions that things could take, and only after a full hour had passed did a cold light flash through his eyes.

Seeing as he had already made a move, then there was no point in doing things halfway.

With that in mind, he immediately sprang into action. He reached out with one hand and rested it on top of Matthew\\\'s head. Matthew was still unconscious, but his head suddenly raised up and his entire body began to tremble incessantly. At the same time, wisps of his soul seeped out of his orifices and drifted into Qin Ye\\\'s outstretched palm.

No one below the Yama-King level would be able to resist having their soul apprehended by Qin Ye.

However, right at this moment, Qin Ye\\\'s pupils abruptly contracted, and he hurriedly shot back in retreat while withdrawing his hand as if he had been electrocuted.

He cast a stunned gaze toward his own hand, then turned to Matthew with an incredulous expression. The ropes around him were slowly unravelling, and his unconscious body began to float in mid-air. At the same time, bursts of golden light were radiating out of his pores as if he were the embodiment of the sun!

\\\"Is... a divine duty?\\\" he murmured to himself as he stared at Matthew with a bewildered expression, and only after a long while did he withdraw his gaze to look at his own hand.

A divine duty was, as the name suggested, the duty of a god. For example, the divine duty of the Cathayan Underworld\\\'s King Yanluo was to oversee death. However, King Yanluo wasn\\\'t the only one overseeing death. Perhaps this was the case in Cathay, but this was dependent on how the death god was depicted in different religions.

In nations outside of Cathay, this was often different in that the god of death and the god of the underworld were separate beings.

For example, Hades was the Argosian god of the underworld, but Thanatos was the god of death. Furthermore, his twin brother, Hypnos, also had the duty of overseeing a part of death because his divine duty was slumber. Eternal slumber was equivalent to death, which ws why there was some overlap in their divine uties, and that was why the Argosian Underworld was ruled over by the twin gods.

Another example was the god of the night, who also held a part of the god of death\\\'s divine duty.

Never did he think that Matthew would be carrying a divine duty. This divine duty was frantically rejecting him, and it was also a divine duty that represented death!

\\\"How is this possible?\\\" He stared at Matthew, who was hovering in mid-air and glowing like the sun, as he shook his head and murmured to himself, \\\"Does this mean that he\\\'s evolving from an evil ghost into a death god? Could it be that he\\\'s creating a legend on his own? If so, then why is his cultivation rank so low? Even if he\\\'s unable to reach the Yama-King level due to limited territory and followers, he would still at least be an Abyssal Prefect. How could a mere Anitya Hellguard possibly create a legend on his own? Also, is this why so many people are determined to protect him?\\\"

Right at this moment, everything around him began to levitate up into the air as if gravity were malfunctioning, and a series of eerie green patterns began to spread from Matthew\\\'s glabella, rapidly reaching all parts of his body.

All of the levitating objects only remained hovering in mid-air for about three seconds before dissipating into bursts of light, filling the entire room with dazzling odlen radiance.

Amid the golden light, Matthew began to raise his head in an unsettling manner. His body then twisted around 180 degrees while his head remained still, and he pressed himself against the wall like a spider while staring intently at Qin Ye. An eye that was around half a meter in size opened on his back, and it had a golden pupil around which were countless runes. Immediately thereafter, the wall violently exploded, unable to withstand the fearsome Yin energy any longer.

However, following the explosion, they were no longer in the apartment.

Qin Ye looked down with a surprised expression to find a sea of light beneath his feet, and he looked up to discover more dazzling golden light.

This was a golden space of indeterminate size, and he discovered that he had been taken by Matthew into the world of his consciousness. The fact that he was able to do this indicated that the soul hiding in his body was definitely not below the mid Yama-King level!

Matthew was like a sung god incarnate, hovering in mid-air with boundless golden light
