Chapter 729: Burning Hellfire!
"Hoo—"
"So this is the Netherworld of the Titan World. It seems much more comfortable than Enma's side."
Im, holding Yamato in his left hand, stepped into the Soul Realm of this Titan World through the black cut behind him.
Looking around.
A grey-white sky, a barren Earth covered in pure white Sand, and a somewhat cold temperature. Compared to the Netherworld of the World, it lacked the smell of Sulfur and the feeling of dryness and heat.
At this moment, the Yamato in his hand transformed into a Purple Light and detached, then formed Little Enma in front of him, who walked out of the purple Mist.
"Father, that's because King Yama, although born from the extremely cold Yomi, for some reason prefers a scorching Environment. He used the Magma from Hell to build the Nether Capital and Palace."
"Mm."
Im nodded, indicating he understood.
He just felt that the Environment here was somewhat familiar, especially this white Desert.
If there weren't dead trees in his Line of Sight and no Moon above his head, he would truly suspect he had arrived at the legendary 'Hueco Mundo'.
Hmm, what an unsettling thought.
"Can you confirm that there is no Lord of the Underworld in this place?"
Although the World was currently bustling with preparations for the upcoming Reverie, for Im, that was just a Process to formalize the Matters he had already decided.
Right now, Yama's Matter was more important.
"Reporting, Father, there should be none. Because Yama hasn't sensed any special or Strong Aura here besides Ordinary People's Soul."
Little Enma closed her Eyes, carefully Perception for a moment, and replied softly.
"So you're planning to set it on fire next?"
"Yes."
"Although countless Soul will be annihilated in the Process, the Reishi they turn into will become Yama's nourishment. It's just that this Process will be quite long..."
Little Enma opened her Eyes, spread her right palm, and condensed a fiercely burning Ball of Fire of purple-black on it. She licked her lips, eager to try.
"Father, can Yama start now?"
"Wait a moment."
But Im Shake Head and stopped her, saying, "First, Perception if there is a Pocket Dimension between this Netherworld and the Human World."
"Eh?"
Little Enma looked up with a look of Doubt and blinked her large Eyes.
Seeing this, Im understood. She didn't know about Ymir's Matter. He then briefly introduced the Situation of the Coordinate Space.
Previously, Ymir, relying on her absolute Control over the Eldians' Paths, had prohibited him from entering the Coordinate Space through Historia's Memory.
So this time, he was thinking of giving the other party a big surprise.
"So that's how it is. What an ungrateful Vengeful Spirit. Please wait a moment, Father!"
Little Enma closed her Eyes again. Im stood beside her with his hands behind his back, silently appreciating this incredibly barren Netherworld Domain.
This was a scene that most people in the Titan World could only see after death.
He tried spreading his Haki outwards and indeed sensed many Aura of varying Strength in the distance.
Some extremely weak Aura were disappearing, while some stronger Aura appeared out of thin air and then wandered around aimlessly.
Some Aura that met seemed to engage in fierce Combat. After a moment, one side's Aura disappeared, while the other side's Aura became slightly Stronger.
However, this also caused Doubt in Im's Mind.
Logically speaking, with such a competitive mechanism of mutual devouring, many powerful Soul should have been born over this long Time, and there should definitely be existences capable of serving as the Lord of the Underworld, establishing Order and Tissue.
But the current Situation was that none of these existed...
"I'm very sorry, Father. Although Yama vaguely Feeling a Plane existing between the Netherworld and the Human World, Yama's current Ability is insufficient to establish a Gateway for entry and exit."
At this moment, Little Enma opened her Eyes, looking sad.
Im was a little disappointed but didn't show it on his face. Instead, he looked at her calmly: "In other words, you think you can do it in the future?"
"Yes, once Yama becomes the Master here, I will naturally have the Ability!" After speaking, Little Enma clenched her small fists and said angrily, "At that time, Yama will definitely help Father teach that Ymir a lesson!"
"Alright."
Im nodded.
Then he voiced the Doubt he had just thought of. He Feeling that this 'cheap Daughter' could give him an answer.
After all, she had stayed by King Yama's side for over fifty years before, so she must know a lot of information in this regard.
He suddenly realized that he seemed to have found someone he could ask questions about the Soul Realm.
"Hmm... Father, please wait. Yama will recall."
Little Enma once again immersed her Mind into her Memory. There was simply too much information accumulated over more than a thousand years, so she secretly Decision that she must find Time to forget those useless Memory.
"Found it. King Yama mentioned it back then."
After about a few minutes, Little Enma opened her Eyes again and looked up at her Father with a serious Expression.
"In a newly born Netherworld, if there is no external interference, the less Supernatural Power exists in its corresponding Human World, the more difficult it is to produce powerful Soul capable of serving as the Lord of the Underworld."
"There is also another Situation: the Netherworld itself has its own Will or rather, its own operating Rules from the moment of its birth. It will silently wait for a Soul suitable to serve as the Lord of the Underworld to appear."
"But because it itself does not possess Wisdom, once it selects a Soul, it will not easily change its Decision..."
Her words were somewhat meaningful, but Im immediately grasped Yama's meaning.
"Are you saying the Will of the Underworld here chose Ymir to be the Lord of the Underworld?"
"Yes!"
Little Enma nodded heavily: "According to Father's previous explanation, that Ymir should be the Soul with the Strongest Soul Strength in this World."
"It's just that because of her own excessive Obsession, she is stuck in that 'Coordinate Space', constantly serving the Descendant of the Eldians. This also caused the Will of the Underworld that chose her to silently wait along with her."
"At the same time, Ymir also kept the Soul of the Hosts of the Titan Shifters from all generations in the 'Coordinate Space', resulting in this place only ever having the Soul of Ordinary People with low Potential."
Im Feeling that he understood everything upon hearing this.
Indeed.
If he and the others hadn't appeared, Ymir truly would have been the most suitable Candidate to be the Lord of the Underworld of the Titan World.
This was the Soul of the first Founder Titan that had existed for over two thousand years.
Right.
Ymir always sought death, talking about liberation and so on.
Is it possible that her true purpose was to break free from the 'Coordinate Space' and come to this upper Netherworld?
That way, she could directly follow the Will of the Underworld and become the Lord of the Underworld!
Not necessarily.
Ymir might not know these things, but no matter what, if she truly 'died', her Soul would still come here, and she would know all of this then.
Im didn't think Ymir would refuse the Will of the Underworld...
It seems this Ymir really cannot be killed, or rather, she cannot be killed before Yama becomes the Lord of the Underworld here!
"Alright, now that the Matter is clear, I'll head back first. You can start the fire."
Im expressionlessly glanced at the newly born Soul of the Titan World on the white wasteland around them, then turned and walked into the dark cut.
"I hope that the next Time I see you, you will already be the Master here."
"Yes!"
"Father!"
Little Enma responded with a face full of Excitement. Then, after Im's figure disappeared, she spun around and Recovery into her original form as a voluptuous, slender, enchanting Beauty.
"What Founder Titan Ymir? This is Yama's Netherworld!"
In an instant.
Clusters of surging purple-black Fireball shot out in all directions, not stopping even when they affected the screaming Soul.
