Chapter 289: Collapsed Earth, Rules of Death Awakens

Bruce held the Soul Stone. It began to radiate a mysterious orange glow. God’s Telekinesis permeated the stone, allowing Bruce and the stone to communicate. He commanded it to pull Mephisto into the plane of soul.

Seeing Bruce as the current owner of the Soul Stone, the stone responded to this message. An orange beam shot out, aiming at the gigantic body of the ancient demon.

Mephisto, who was about to open the portal and leave earth, was immediately locked in place by the beam.

“What is going on?” Mephisto looked around in surprise. He found that the space around him was locked. This also prevented him from teleporting back to the plane of hell. That orange glow was also imbued with the Law of Soul.

For a moment, he was in the grip of this power. When he was about to fight using Law of Fear, he sensed the aura of Law of Soul.

It was very familiar to him. After all, Mephisto was a demon playing with souls.

How could he, with the Rules of Souls, be insensitive to the aura of the Soul Stone? After careful observation, he finally understood.

“How can this be, the Law of Soul?” Mephisto looked down at the orange glow and saw Bruce, holding the soul stone, growing larger. He then slowly flew towards him.

This damned fellow again! Mephisto thought angrily.

His real self was entangled by the masters of other planes. As such, he could only send an incarnation.

Originally, he could still use the Rules of Souls that’s far far superior to Bruce’s. He would break free, acquire the Soul Stone, then kill Bruce.

However, his projection could not use the full power of Rules of Souls, so he was suppressed by the Soul Stone.

It’s power was so strong that only the power of the multiverse could suppress it.

He could no longer hold on. He secretly gathered the Law of Fear to suppress the Soul Stone, and he shoved the other part down his throat.

He was going to force Bruce to give up, and then kill him.

“Human, stop now, and I will spare your life.” Mephisto emitted the Law of Fear in the form of sound waves.

Bruce could no longer shrink himself. He could only hold on, otherwise Mephisto, freed from the grip of Soul Stone, would have rushed upon him and killed him. Bruce knew this point very well.

It was unlikely that an ancient demon like Mephisto would make the same mistake.

Bruce pushed the Light and Dark Wings to regain some magic power. However, it was all in vain when he sensed the Rules of Fear Mephisto cast.

His body ran cold. He was losing control. The only way to fight it was to exert the same level power.

Even if Bruce had the same characteristic power of Rules of Fear, he could not fight it. That was the difference between quality.

Even if that was only a hundredth of Mephisto’s power, Bruce still found it difficult to resist. Bruce knew that whether he continued using the Soul Stone or counter Mephisto’s Rules of Fear, he needed  a more powerful power.

The power of the Rules of Death, which destroyed Apocalypse’s flesh, was already used up.

“Give up. Don’t hold on any longer. You should be afraid.”

‘Give up in now!’ Bruce’s mind began to breed a series of negative thoughts.

Will I give up just like this? Bruce’s light in eyes was dimming and he was slowly closing his eyes.

Seeing him, Mephisto was excited.  “Well, that’s it. Give up the fight. I shall eat your soul. It must be delicious.”

Mephisto could not help licking his lips. Everything seemed to be coming under his control.

Could Bruce turn things around?

No! Just then, a wave of law from the dark converged on Bruce’s body. It was pulled by the Rules of fear.

Under the control of God’s Telekinesis, Bruce radiated heat again.

“By a hair!” Bruce was very lucky. At this moment, he could feel the Power of Death raising again.

He heard the cries of millions of people as they died.

No, I have a home. I can’t die yet!

Why is the earth like this? Who’s going to help me?

Wooooohhhhhh

What’s wrong with them?

Why are so many people dying?

Using God’s Telekinesis, he found it.

The Earth was no different from its end. The explosion of Apocalypse’s shield not only killed millions but also affected Earth’s core.

It was like it was hit by another planet. Sea water rose and oxygen was depleted. Massive earthquakes and volcanic eruptions also destroyed the atmosphere.

The temperature was rapidly rising, while natural disasters were escalating. Humans and mutants alike were dying in the process. Mortals couldn’t face the forces of nature.

These natural disasters killed a lot of life entities, but also fueled the Law of Death.

Only Hela or a cold-blooded deity like Apocalypse would be excited about it. Bruce wasn’t.

Although he acquired the Rules of Death by chance, he wasn’t blinded by power.

The strength given to him by these deaths were like giving him their last wishes. He must pay them back.

The power of the gods came from the creatures of the planets. Only those revered by these creatures deserved to have these strengths!

Although Bruce had mastered the rules and became a god, he did not lose his humanity. He knew that if he didn’t do anything, the disasters would only escalate.

Although Earth would still be salvable at that point, humans would already face extinction. If the extinction of human beings occurred, Bruce’s efforts would be in vain.

He knew about that, so Bruce did not hesitate to use the Law of  Death he newly acquired.

He coldly looked at Mephisto, and infused all of his remaining power into the Soul Stone.

The Soul Stone shone brighter as it was infused with this great power. Mephisto, however, stared at Bruce in disbelief.

“It can’t be! How can you have the power of Law in you?”
