Black Mist's voice echoed beside his ear.
The leading red-robed archbishop instantly laughed in his heart, then immediately spoke, "Black Mist sir, this doesn't require paperwork. Indeed, under normal circumstances, handing over criminals who have transcended the secular world to other countries, like extraditing ghosts and monsters who committed crimes in other nations, does require formal documents and procedures."
"But this time is special; no need for these cumbersome formalities. When the time comes, we'll handle it for you."
Lady Miao Gu followed up. "No need for green cards or anything. Bureau 749 already arranged everything for us before we came."
She smiled at the Black Mist and continued speaking. "Rather than handling procedures, I think it's better to consider how to escort the infected god entity away."
"Indeed." The dungeon archbishop agreed with a sound.
Knowing that the Black Mist had no intention of backing out, the dungeon archbishop breathed a sigh of relief, and a smile appeared on his face.
He then stopped holding back and said openly, "What Lady Miao Gu said is correct. If Black Mist Sir wants to escort the entity away quickly, we must consider how to do so. After all, the infected god entity is extremely dangerous. Since it was imprisoned in the dungeon, in just one day, the dungeon has turned into hell…"
As he described the situation in the dungeon, the dungeon archbishop's expression became solemn.
"If it weren't for the dungeon's special nature, with angelic inscriptions carved by Archangel Michael, there would be nothing that could imprison him."
"But even though we can imprison him, he's still strange. The laughter he emits cannot be fully suppressed even by the angelic inscriptions."
At this point, he looked toward the Black Mist and joked with a smile.
"Although Daxia has an old saying, 'Guests should be treated with hospitality,' you taking away this god entity is actually relieving pressure on us Vatican folks. We naturally will do our part to help escort him away."
"But the only thing we have that can imprison this god entity is this dungeon. Even if we wanted to help, we couldn't, unless we moved the entire dungeon to you."
"But that's totally unrealistic. The dungeon is engraved with angelic inscriptions, carved personally by Archangel Michael."
"Not to mention us Vatican people, even angels and demons wouldn't be able to breach it. It's indestructible, not only can it not be damaged, it also cannot be moved."
Suddenly, just as the dungeon archbishop was getting into it.
"I can give it a try." The Black Mist's voice suddenly rang out.
The archbishops and Lady Miao Gu were all stunned and turned toward the Black Mist. They saw a contemplative look between the Black Mist's eyebrows.
Seeing everyone looking at him, he said seriously, "I don't know what angelic inscriptions are, but I can try to see if I can shake them."
Facing the Black Mist's serious words and actions, the dungeon archbishop was dumbfounded.
'No way… Are you serious…'
The dungeon archbishop hadn't thought that the Black Mist would take his casual remark seriously.
Looking at the Black Mist as he finished speaking, already beginning to look around, reaching out to touch the dungeon corridor's wall engravings.
He didn't know what to say.
But in the next second, recalling how the Black Mist had earlier inquired about taking the god entity through official procedures, the dungeon archbishop suddenly realized that his polite remark, any modern person would understand it was just polite talk.
But the key point is, the Black Mist is an ancient person, a person from a thousand years ago. They have… a serious generation gap.
The leading red-robed archbishop's eyelid twitched as he watched from the side.
Even though the dungeon is engraved with angelic inscriptions, there's basically no possibility of it being destroyed.
But he didn't know why, a thump came from within the red-robed archbishop's heart.
At this moment, they walked further down into the dungeon, having reached the second level, now heading toward the third.
"Are you sure you can do it?" Lady Miao Gu spoke at this time.
She saw the Black Mist touching the angelic inscriptions all along the way. The entire dungeon, walls included, were engraved with angelic inscriptions, creating extraordinary defense.
Lady Miao Gu asked herself honestly, even though she was one of the Ten Sages, she couldn't destroy this dungeon.
"I have some ideas." Black Mist responded, touching the angelic inscriptions.
"These divine runes are indeed extraordinary, like the scriptures of immortals or Buddhist and Taoist texts. For living beings from the human realm to destroy them, it is indeed difficult. Even for me to destroy them would take some time. At least, I can't do it in the short term. However…"
His long breath cut off the archbishops' moment of relief. They saw Black Mist open his palm, and a mass of Black Mist surged from his hand.
Whoosh~
The Black Mist dispersed. In his palm appeared a dagger. Following that came Black Mist's words, "But I do have one idea I can try."
Lady Miao Gu looked at the dagger. "This is…?"
The dagger was dark throughout, its blade flickering with sharp light, exuding a chilling aura of death from the Netherworld. The archbishops and Lady Miao Gu, upon seeing it, inexplicably felt this dagger could make them never reincarnate.
That feeling only grew stronger the longer they looked at it.
In addition, looking at the dagger, Lady Miao Gu also had another strange thought, and she couldn't help but mutter softly, "Why do I feel like this dagger seems familiar?"
"Is that so?" Black Mist smiled upon hearing that, but didn't respond. He simply smiled and spoke to himself.
"This dagger was a birthday gift from my master a thousand years ago. He said this blade… is very sharp, it can carve on the Stone of Three Lifetimes."
"Stone of Three Lifetimes?" One of the archbishops exclaimed.
"Laurent, was there anything about that in the ancient Daxia texts you brought?" The red-robed archbishop asked.
The named archbishop shook his head, "No record, but when I was traveling in Daxia, I heard about the Stone of Three Lifetimes. It's said that it's not a stone of the human world, but something from Daxia's underworld. It relates to people's past, present, and future lives."
"It's said that if you can carve the names of a man and woman on it, and if they are fated, they can find each other in all lifetimes. But precisely because of its mystical properties, it's extremely hard to carve, it's indestructible, and even divine attacks cannot leave a mark."
"This gentleman, you know quite a lot about Daxia's culture."
Black Mist gave a faint smile, holding the dagger, and said, "You're right. The Stone of Three Lifetimes is very hard. My master had to go through a lot to forge this dagger that could carve it."
As he spoke, he subtly glanced at Lady Miao Gu.
At this moment, listening to Black Mist's conversation with the archbishops, Lady Miao Gu didn't speak.
But her eyes never left the dagger. She felt a tremble deep in her soul, especially when they mentioned the Stone of Three Lifetimes. In that moment, it felt like the dagger touched her soul, causing a fleeting image to flash through her mind.
In that image, the surrounding environment was full of gloomy Yin energy. In the distance were souls queuing for reincarnation, ghost fires dancing, and blooming red spider lilies on the ground.
The perspective was very strange.
It was low, like lying on the ground looking up. But very quickly, Lady Miao Gu understood the reason.
Only a blurry figure appeared. The figure walked into the frame, then bent down, picked up the view (as if the camera), then pulled out a dagger and began carving into it.
That scene. That perspective. Even though the image flashed by quickly, Lady Miao Gu faintly realized, that what she saw may have been the view from a Stone of Three Lifetimes.
Unfortunately, the image was too brief and blurry, and she couldn't clearly see the figure's face. She could only vaguely hear that, as the figure carved, he murmured, "With this, your fate is locked for all lifetimes."
