Chapter 319: Sealing the Gates of Hell
The message of the scarecrow’s return was quickly relayed to George and Nikorei.
They immediately rushed to the Gates of Hell to welcome Flanders.
From afar, they could see the scarecrow facing the Gates of Hell, and no one knew what he was thinking.
When they came forward and saw the scarecrow facing the gates of Hell and thinking, they were too embarrassed to disturb him.
After the scarecrow was done thinking, they would ask him about the details of his trip to Hell.
Actually, Flanders was asking the system questions.
Flanders remembered that he still had the space sealing stone that he obtained from opening the big gift bag. He did not know if it was useful, but he would know after asking the system.
“System, can the space sealing stone seal the Gates of Hell?”
[The space sealing stone can stop the opening of the Gates of Hell, but it can only stop it for one to three years.]
“Why is the time span so large?”
[If the Gates of Hell are opened from the other end, the seal can be broken.]
[As long as enough energy is put into the Gates of hell, the seal can be broken in a year.]
Flanders understood now. He had ten space sealing stones, which meant that he could seal the Gates of hell for at least ten years.
However, it seemed like the Fear Mall system was selling space sealing stones. Thinking of this, Flanders’s worry about the Gate of Hell decreased a lot.
So what If you’re awesome? I have a way to seal you.
After understanding the function of the space sealing stone, Flanders no longer hesitated.
He took out the space sealing stone and used it on the Gate of Hell. The space sealing stone floated in the air and gradually became brighter and brighter.
The space sealing stone emitted a blinding light, and the energy of the Gates of Hell’s was continuously absorbed by the space sealing stone.
Soon, the energy of the Gates of Hell was completely absorbed by the space sealing stone, and the Gates of Hell returned to its closed state.
[Ding! Congratulations to the host for completing the sealing of the Gates of Hell quest. You have obtained the Source of Fear skill.]
[Source of Fear: Support skill, used on friendly targets. Every damage dealt by friendly targets carries the power of fear.]
This skill allowed Flanders to have a powerful support ability. In the future, he would equip each of his subordinates with a Source of Fear.
The targets that were hit by the power of fear would continuously generate fear points. In the end, these fear points would be harvested by Flanders.
Each of his subordinates’ damage would be imbued with the power of fear. Just thinking about it made Flanders happy.
In Hell, the seventh fallen angel’s army was ready to invade the Blue Planet.
The spatial array master observed that the Gates of Hell on the Blue Planet was closed. Even if Hell opened the Gates of Hell, it would be useless.
The battle mage reported this situation to the seventh fallen angel.
“Trash!”
The seventh fallen angel was really anxious. Guarding the Devil’s Heart was his mission. Fortunately, no one knew about the news of the Devil’s heart being lost.
Those who knew this news were people he trusted. He decided to seal this news and absolutely not let anyone else in Hell know about it.
“Open the Gates of Hell to blue planet with all our might. No matter how many resources are needed, it’s not a problem. I just need to open it!”
The spatial array masters looked at each other and then cautiously answered, “this will take a year. We’ll do our best.”
Spatial array masters were a rare profession. Even the seventh fallen angel army only had five of them. They were usually treated as treasures and were reluctant to use them.
The seventh fallen angel, Liszt, naturally could not bear to kill these array masters. He waved his hand and let them go.
He had decided that after the spatial tunnel leading to Blue Planet was opened, he would definitely destroy Blue Planet.
When George and Nikorei saw that the Gates of Hell was closed, they were so happy that they cried.
These days, they had been worried about the Gates of Hell all the time. They were worried that countless creatures from Hell would come out of it.
Now, the Gates of Hell was closed, but it did not disappear.
Would the Gates of Hell open again one day?
“Don’t look anymore. The Gates of Hell will open again in at least a year or three years.”
George and Nikorei remembered the current state of the Gates of Hell when Flanders mentioned it.
The next day, the Secretary of Defense flew directly to the Black Swamp. He wanted to talk to the scarecrow.
With the ability to seal the Gates of Hell, the government of the United States of Barrow took him very seriously.
The Scarecrow was fully qualified to cooperate with the government of the United States of Barrow. The scarecrow could talk about whatever it wanted.
“Dear Mr. Flanders, regarding the cooperation agreement that you proposed earlier, the government will fully support you.”
Compared to the entire Blue Planet, a single Salko Temple could be sacrificed.
Moreover, the intentions of those people from Salko Temple were not clear. They only took money and did not do anything. It was only a matter of time before they were killed.
“Blaaargh! A wise decision.”
Flanders originally wanted to ask the United States of Barrow government for more ultimate weapons, but he did not expect to receive a mission notification.
[Ding! Congratulations host for triggering the strange creature mission.]
[Strange creature mission: Subdue the strange creature.]
[Mission description: The strange creatures on the Blue Planet have always been scattered. Even if the strange creatures are not weak, they can not be compared to the united humans.]
[Mission objective: Become the leader of the strange creatures.]
[Mission reward: unknown.]
The sudden arrival of the mission was the system telling Flanders what to talk to the Secretary of Defense.
“I wonder what the Barrow United States government thinks about strange creatures?”
The Secretary of Defense could not figure out what Flanders wanted to say. His answer was normal.
“The Barrow United States government will not discriminate against strange creatures. They can live freely in this country.”
“If the strange creatures hurt ordinary people, they will also be punished by the law.”
“Blaaargh! That’s nonsense.”
“I want all the strange creatures to submit to me. I need your help to provide me with the strange creature information.”
Hearing what Flanders said, the Secretary of Defense, Dodkin’s heart tightened.
“I wonder why Sir Flanders wants to unify the strange creatures?”
Flanders could not possibly tell Dodekin that the system was the one who wanted me to unify them, right? He looked at the Secretary of Defense.
“The strange creatures can increase my strength, so of course I have to subdue them.”
Flanders’s answer was reasonable, and Dodekin did not think too much of it.
Actually, the Secretary of Defense was not afraid of Flanders increasing his strength at all. What he was afraid of was that Flanders was a madman who did whatever he wanted.
You never know what the next step of a madman would be.
In fact, Flanders was a madman, but he was a smart madman.
Smart people knew how to make trade-offs, so they could naturally cooperate. The Ministry of Defense had the right to decide how to cooperate with Flanders.
“Mr. Flanders, your request can be met.”
“In a year’s time, the Gates of Hell will open. For the sake of the entire Blue Planet, I’ll ask Sir Flanders to deal with Hell.”
“Pfft! If you help me, I’ll naturally help you.”
There was no need for any agreement to work with Flanders. If the other party did not abide by the contract, Flanders had plenty of ways to make the other party abide by the contract.
The cooperation was successful, and both sides were happy.
Without waiting for both sides to celebrate, a loud battle sound came from the direction of the Black Swamp’s green poison pool.
Caw caw caw!
Quack!
Quack!
This was the green poison toad king calling for help. It sounded extremely miserable.
