Chapter 268 - Underworld Realm
Chapter 268 - Underworld Realm
Underworld Realm, Supreme Court
Swish—!
A spatial crack suddenly opened in the heart of the Underworld, where the souls of the dead are transferred and judged based on the weight of their accumulated sins in life.
Not long after, White Impermanence fell out pathetically with his swollen face planted into the ground before the spatial crack closed up and disappeared without a trace, returning everything to normal.
At the same time, everything was witnessed by a male Black Guard, who was dressed in full black uniform, had a dark complexion with heavy bags under the eyes.
He was not just any Black Guard but the head of the Black Guards, the Black Impermanence.
"White Impermanence! What's with this pathetic appearance of yours?" the Black Impermanence questioned with a frown before mentioning, "I thought you went to capture the lost soul that appeared in the Divine Book of Life and Death?"
"Black Impermanence, you have to help me! It's been nearly a century since I last suffered such a humiliating beating!" White Impermanence cried.
"Just hold on a minute."
Black Impermanence helped White Impermanence back on his feet before he inquired with a frown, "Just who exactly beat you up to such a state in the Mortal Realm? You didn't run into 'IT,' did you?"
"How could it possibly be 'IT'? Would I still be able to stand with my bones intact if I run into 'IT' and offended him?" White Impermanence responded before saying, "It was the lost soul I went to fetch! He did this!"
"How could the lost soul be strong enough to beat you up? It's just the soul of a fallen mortal!" Black Impermanence exclaimed with surprise.
"You're are asking me this?" White Impermanence looked back at Black Impermanence incredulously before saying snappishly, "Then who the hell do I ask? I would also like to know!"
"The Divine Book of Life and Death is rarely every wrong," Black Impermanence stated thoughtfully before saying, "Since it happened, there must be something special about this lost soul."
"Come, let us go to the Divine Book of Life and Death for answers," Black Impermanence shortly urged.
However, White Impermanence shrugged his hand from Black Impermanence's grip before shaking his head, "The Divine Book of Life and Death only shows general information about a mortal's life and death, including the location of their soul if they linger in the world of the living."
"If we want to seek more detailed information about this particular lost soul, we will have to be able to control the Divine Book of Life and Death. But, unfortunately, King Yama, our lord, and the only being who could do that is already dead, killed by 'IT' a century ago."
After White Impermanence spoke as such, Black Impermanence sighed with sorrow, "Haiz, without 'IT' taking up the post as the new King Yama, work in the Supreme Court has been piling up all these years."
"No matter how much we do, work is always piling up, allowing for more lost souls to wander the world of the living. If 'IT' didn't have a helper, it would not have been possible for our lord to be slain by a mortal being…"
As Black Impermanence recalled the event of over a century ago, his dark eyes suddenly flickered with realization.
"I know someone who we can ask to use the Divine Book of Life and Death for us!" Black Impermanence stated.
White Impermanence was about to ask who when he quickly realized who Black Impermanence was thinking.
"You're talking about Lady Death, that Death Goddess, aren't you? Absolutely not!" White Impermanence rejected the idea before mentioning, "Have you forgotten how our lord died? Forgotten who helped 'IT' kill our lord?"
"Then what else do you want me to do?" Black Impermanence asked helplessly.
"Come with me to Mortal Realm to teach that lost soul a lesson. You are, after all, much stronger than me. You should be able to deal with the lost soul," White Impermanence stated.
However, Black Impermanence shook his head and said, "How can I do that? I am still a Black Guard. I am only in charge of catching evil souls with serious crimes. This lost soul is relatively normal."
"That was before I am beating up like this! Do you think that beating up a White Guard isn't enough to be considered a serious crime?" White Impermanence argued.
Black Impermanence was eventually persuaded before he agreed, "This… Alright then. I will help you catch this lost soul."

At that moment, the snotty boy's mother was about to confront Albion after learning the details of the problem.
At the same time, Fenriri got her pancake and prepared to leave with Albion when he suddenly paused his steps.
Crack…!
A spatial crack that only he could see appeared once more before the dense aura of the Underworld gushed out from it.
White Impermanence and Black Impermanence shortly stepped out and shot Albion a look before White Impermanence spoke, "Albion Black, I've told you that I'd come back for you!"
"Your time in the world of the living is up! Please come with us to the Underworld's Supreme Court to be judged obediently, or we will be forced to use force!"
"You again," Albion frowned before raising his clenched fist and said, "Seems like the last beating wasn't enough for you."
"Heh, don't think it will be the same as last time. Black Impermanence is much stronger than me!" White Impermanence grinned.
Plop!
Black Impermanence suddenly dropped to his knees in front of Albion, causing White Impermanence's expression to freeze with a dumb look.
"Black Impermanence, what the hell are you doing! Why are you kneeling to the lost soul?" White Impermanence questioned.
"Lost soul, you say?"
Black Impermanence trembled with anger as he felt so mad he wanted to strangle White Impermanence to death.
"Have you ever seen a lost soul with flesh and a beating heart?! Stop looking with your Soul Vision all the time!" Black Impermanence gritted his teeth and said, "This person is still alive, and he is not just any person!"
"Don't you think his crimson-glowing eyes look familiar to you?!"
Once Black Impermanence said this, White Impermanence turned off his Soul Vision and immediately felt weak in the knees.
"I-I-IT!"
