Virus King - Chapter 195

Chapter 195: Satan’s Submission! Profession Transfer Scroll Obtained!

TL: YYang

Dark.

It was still dark.

Chen Bai waited for a long time, but no movement could be heard.

What was going on???

Chen Bai blinked a few times, momentarily unable to make sense of the situation.

However, it wasn’t hard to make a guess.

This King of Hell seemed to be attempting to take control of his body, essentially the “body possession” trope often seen in cultivation novels.

As it turned out, due to Chen Bai’s soul being bound to the Time Hourglass, his soul might have undergone some unknown transformation that made such possession impossible.

So, after painstakingly scheming—possibly waiting alongside that Abyssal Lord Agares for who knows how long, thousands, tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands of years—

In the end, this King of Hell’s grand plan fell apart completely.

And his mental state collapsed as well.

Meanwhile, Chen Bai was contemplating something else entirely.

Was this King of Hell dead or not?

He didn’t sense any disturbances in his soul or any abnormalities in his consciousness, so Chen Bai wasn’t particularly worried.

As for this soul fragment left behind by Satan, Chen Bai found it quite intriguing.

“Your Excellency?! I was waiting for you to use my body to bear the power and authority of the Abyss and reign supreme across all worlds!”

Silence.

In the Abyssal Well, the only thing present was the abyssal will prompting him to decide whether or not to leave the Abyssal Well.

Chen Bai’s eyebrow twitched. He continued speaking:

“Lord Satan, if you don’t make a move soon, I’m going to use this profession transfer scroll…”

Still, there was only silence.

No response at all.

However, soon, Chen Bai turned his attention to the object in his hand.

The Hell King’s Ring, which he had previously used as bait.

Chen Bai was absolutely convinced that, under the manifestation of the abyssal will, even the Avatar of the King of Hell, Satan, would only be level 10 at most, and even then, his abilities would be extraordinarily feeble.

Such a ghost would either perish outright or require a vessel to inhabit.

Considering Satan had hidden himself in this ring before, the ring must have some peculiar properties. And indeed, as Chen Bai examined it, he was rendered speechless.

[Hell King’s Ring (SSS) (Fragmented)]

[Accessory – Ring]

[All Attributes +3]

[Seal of the Seventy-Two Pillars: The broken seal renders this treasure’s power less than one ten-thousandth of its full potential. To gradually unlock its seals, you must collect fragments of the souls of the Seventy-Two Demon Gods of Hell! Furthermore, this ring can house souls and ghosts.]

[????]

[????]

[Gate of Hell: Opens the Gate of Hell to travel between Hell’s dimensions. Cooldown time: 10 days.]

[Requirement to Equip: Level ≥ 5]

[PS: Wear this ring and take the throne of the King of Hell! Of course, you’ll first need to restore the ring’s full power…]

“Goddammit!”

Satan truly had some nerve. Could it be that the so-called power of the Deceiver was the ability to arbitrarily alter the displayed attributes of an item?!

Where was his SSS-tier equipment?!

Chen Bai immediately flew into a rage:

“What kind of garbage counterfeit is this?! Forget it, I might as well smash it to pieces!”

He promptly removed the ring and unleashed Biochemical Disaster. Against the terrifying power of this weapon, the fragmented ring seemed exceedingly fragile. However, at this very moment, a voice finally rang out once again!

“My dear Chen, can’t we discuss this calmly? Don’t you agree?!”

“Heh…”

Chen Bai chuckled.

As expected, Satan’s remaining fragment of a soul imprint was indeed hiding within the Hell King’s Ring.

Without the Hell King’s Ring, within the Abyssal Well, Satan’s presence would be quickly detected by the abyssal will and erased as a BUG.

At this moment, the power dynamic between the two had completely reversed. Chen Bai was now in absolute control.

After all, without the power granted by the Abyss, Satan was reduced to nothing more than a mere fragment of a life imprint.

“What is it you want to discuss?”

“Honorable Chen, you are the most esteemed existence across all worlds! Your power has enabled you to conquer trials that even the gods claim are insurmountable. You are the future Abyssal Overlord, the Demon King.

Across all realms, throughout the boundless cosmos, your name will surely resound. I am willing to offer you everything I can for your growth, asking only for the humblest gift of preserving my life!”

“Tsk tsk… As expected of the King of Hell, one of the oldest deities in the universe. Truly, you know how to bow when necessary!”

Chen Bai smiled faintly and continued:

“Well then, what do you have? Can you fully restore the Hell King’s Ring or provide me with other SSS-tier gear and items?”

The voice hesitated for a moment and then shook its head.

“Do you have any SSS-tier skills or forbidden techniques?”

Satan froze again and lowered his head, shaking it once more.

“In that case, what a pity. You don’t seem to hold any value for me…”

“No, no, no, my dear Chen! Although I don’t have them in my possession now, within the boundless depths of Hell, such treasures exist! Only I know where they are hidden. You…”

Satan felt utterly humiliated.

Never since his creation had he experienced such indignity!

His plan had been flawless.

Even his death had been a calculated move.

In pursuit of greater power, even such a sacrifice had been worth it!

In the Abyss, he had left behind a projection of himself, as well as the loyal pawn Agares.

Everything had been prepared. All he needed to do was wait for challengers to arrive and set the plan into motion.

And indeed, everything had proceeded according to plan… until the final, most critical step went awry.

He had expended all of the Abyss’s residual power in his attempt to devour Chen Bai’s soul. Now, the tiny fragment of life imprint he had left was so fragile that a slightly stronger gust of wind might scatter it completely.

This was his only remaining lifeline, his last-ditch effort to seize control of the Abyss.

But now, even that faint hope had been dashed. What should he do next?!

He had no choice but to find a way to survive.

Yet Satan still couldn’t comprehend why this human’s soul emanated an aura that made him instinctively tremble.

Even at his peak, he had struggled to approach such an aura. This human undoubtedly harbored a profound secret.

Chen Bai, however, paid no attention to Satan’s barrage of words. With a faint smile, he slipped the Hell King’s Ring back onto his hand.

As for Satan? That could wait for later. For now, it seemed the other party posed no threat. Moreover, Satan wasn’t wrong—the riches of Hell were something Chen Bai coveted as well.

There was no rush to deal with these matters. What was most important to Chen Bai at this moment was the item he tightly held in his hand: that special profession transfer scroll!

Abyssal Overlord Profession Transfer Scroll!
