American Comics: Borrowed Magic By Skill, Why Should I Return It?

Witnessing Hela's actions, even Balast, who was reluctant to believe, had to admit at this moment that Hela, who was also a lord of hell, was truly... obedient to Chu Xiu!

"Human."

"It seems that I have truly underestimated you."

Balast slowly stood up.

He tore off his right wing, allowing his asymmetrical body to become symmetrical again.

This move of tearing off his own wings with bare hands made Chu Xiu frowned.

It looked painful.

"I can give you power."

"But you and Hela, both of you must sign a soul contract with me."

"Otherwise, I won't believe you."

Balast dragged his heavily injured body to Chu Xiu.

His massive body still had a deterrent effect.

He handed over a contract.

Unlike a regular Fiend's Covenant, this contract had higher specifications and was made of a mysterious material with inherent magic, instead of ordinary parchment.

"Once you sign it, I will give you all my power."

"Alright."

Chu Xiu took the contract with a smile, ready to sign it.

Seeing this, Balast finally relaxed his vigilance and his tense nerves loosened.

ET-...

Splat!

A pitch-black blade pierced through the back of his head.

It directly penetrated Balast's unguarded head and came out of his mouth!

It was Hela!

She took advantage of the moment when Balast let his guard down.

She circled around to his back and delivered a fatal blow.

"You..."

Balast widened his eyes.

He looked incredulously at the blade protruding from his mouth, then looked at Chu Xiu.

His gaze seemed to say... Are you f***ing kidding me?

"Do you think I'm stupid?"

"Killing you, the power will still be mine, right?"

Chu Xiu's eyes carried a hint of mockery.

He returned Balast's words from when they were on Earth, word for word.

"Ah ah ah!!!"

As Hela slowly pulled out her Night-sky sword from behind.

Balast finally regained his ability to speak.

After a painful howl.

"I, Balast..."

"The controller of the Hell's Border for thousands of years..."

At the brink of death.

Feeling his life slipping away.

With his last bit of strength, Balast roared.

"Modu!"

"I curse you!"

"You will die without a burial place!"

With his last breath, Balast unleashed his most vicious curse towards Chu Xiu.

But Chu Xiu remained expressionless after hearing it.

He leaned close to Balast's ear.

In the dying moment.

He whispered softly, "(bbdj) Sorry, my name is not Modu."

Balast widened his eyes.

His massive body collapsed to the ground, lifeless.

In the next moment, countless demonic powers surged out of his corpse!

Chu Xiu immediately reached out with one hand.

And began to absorb.

"Darling, what are you doing?"

Hela looked at this scene with confusion.

In her eyes, Chu Xiu suddenly seemed like a pervert, placing his hand above Balast's corpse as if enjoying it.

"You..."

Chu Xiu was about to ask, "Can't you see this energy?"

But then he realized something.

It seemed that from the beginning to the end...

No one had paid attention to the corpses of these demons.

Those soul warriors killed and left, without even stopping for these energies.

"Could it be because they don't have demonic power in their bodies, so they can't see it?"

Chu Xiu gave himself an explanation.

But soon he overturned it himself.

No!

Those soul warriors not being able to detect it was one thing.

Hela is so powerful that she can even smell the demonic energy.

"Hela?"

"After people die, where does their energy go?"

While Chu Xiu continues to absorb Belast's demonic power, he asks.

Hela looks at Chu Xiu with confusion.

As if wondering how you don't even know something common knowledge?

"Where else can it go?"

"Back to the original dimension," Hela explains.

Just as Hela finishes speaking.

Chu Xiu has finally absorbed all of Belast's demonic power.

[Ding!]

[Abnormal energy detected!]

[System has successfully purified it for you!]

Accompanied by the system prompt.

Chu Xiu's momentum is like riding a rocket, rising steadily!

Level Universe?

That was a second ago!

The next second, Chu Xiu surpasses this level!

"Hmm!?"

Hela suddenly turns her head.

Her eyes staring straight at Chu Xiu.

As if seeing something incredible.

"Darling?"

Under Hela's gaze.

Chu Xiu's momentum keeps rising.

Soon, he reaches the same level as her... Level Sub-God Father!

"This feeling..."

When Chu Xiu opens his eyes again.

He feels that the energy inside him is endless.

It seems that with a stomp of his foot, he can shatter the planet beneath him.

But Chu Xiu quickly comes to his senses, knowing that this is an illusion caused by his rapid power increase.

Just like back then...

HYDRA's Baron Strucker, swollen.

"Is this what it feels like to step into the god level with one foot?"

Chu Xiu feels the energy inside him.

Although he cannot destroy a planet with a single blow like a true godfather.

But like Belast and Hela...

Splitting mountains and changing the landscape!

It can be done with a wave of his hand!

"No wonder Belast never looked up to me..."

Chu Xiu sneers.

After experiencing the power of stepping into the god level with half a foot.

Not to mention Belast, Chu Xiu himself also looks down on his previous self.

Level Universe?

Don't even come close!

"Darling?"

"You are now... a half-step godfather?"

Hela still looks incredulous.

She doesn't understand.

Clearly, nothing happened.

Why did Chu Xiu's strength suddenly skyrocket?

"Wait!"

"Could it be that you just..."

Suddenly, Hela brings up Chu Xiu's act of placing his hand on Belast's body from a distance just now.

Seems to understand something.

"Yes, I absorbed Belast's power."

Chu Xiu doesn't hide it either.

This kind of thing can be guessed just by thinking about it, so it's better to be straightforward.

"But after people die, shouldn't their energy return to the original source?"

Hela still has a lot of questions in her mind.

But in the end, she swallows them back.

Everyone has their own secrets.

Besides, Chu Xiu becoming stronger is also a good thing for Hela.

It provides more conquest targets!

Seeing that Hela didn't ask any further.

Chu Xiu naturally won't explain further.

But he has a guess about what Hela said about "energy returning to the original dimension."

Previously, the Ancient One said that the energy inside him was extremely pure, almost equivalent to the energy of a dimension's origin.

So is there a possibility...

"I can absorb this energy because... I am the dimension's origin?"
