House pondered for a moment after hearing this, and finally said.

"Since you said Miss Fanny is heading toward Palang City, let us also change course for Palang City. Hopefully, we can intercept them."

Immediately, the leopard-shaped metal lifeform veered sharply, turning into a streak of light that vanished into the distance.

On the flower-shaped metal lifeform, Fanny smiled and said, "They are definitely flying toward Palang City, but our actual destination is Timbu City!"

Chapter 30: First Battle in Hell

Inside the flower-shaped metal lifeform, Simon and Fanny sat on the sofa, sipping fine wine.

"Simon, if we encounter bandits, make sure you stay close to me. I will protect you."

"Haha, Fanny, you don't need to worry about me. Just protect yourself during a fight; I can handle it."

Seeing Simon so confident, Fanny's curiosity was piqued.

"Oh? It seems you were hiding your strength when we sparred before? You don't trust me that much?"

"Cough, cough, it's not that I don't trust you, Fanny. It's just that friendly sparring should stop at the right moment. In any case, trust me, my strength won't hold you back."

"Oh? Then I shall wait and see."

The wealthy Fanny directly inserted enough Divine Crystals to power the metal lifeform for decades, and the metal lifeform continued its flight as if it never knew fatigue.

After flying for several days.

"Boom..."

Suddenly, an attack struck, and the flower-shaped metal lifeform burst apart upon impact.

Simon and Fanny, who were still chatting, were stunned. Although they knew there were many bandits and robbers in Hell, they didn't expect to encounter them so soon after leaving the territory of the teleportation array.

Moreover, judging by the formation, these bandits were not weak. The leader was clearly a Highgod, leading over a hundred Midgods.

Simon looked at them as they eyed them covetously.

"What do you want, friend? We don't want any trouble. If you compensate us for the metal lifeform, we can call it even."

"Hahaha, what is this Midgod thinking? Is he threatening us? Did he not wake up yet?"

A green-haired youth among the bandit group sneered.

The surrounding bandits followed suit, laughing heartily.

The once solemn and tense atmosphere seemed to become lively with the bandits' laughter.

The bandit leader raised a hand, and the noise behind him vanished instantly.

"I am Quite, the third leader of the Black Wind Bandit Group. Don't joke around, friends. Hand over ten million Inkstones obediently, and we will let you leave. If you don't, we will have to take them ourselves."

Quite, the cold-faced bandit leader, saw that Fanny was also a Highgod and dared to appear in the wilderness of Hell with only a Midgod, so he didn't want to take unnecessary risks. He figured that getting ten million Inkstones without a fight would be the best outcome.

"Ten million Inkstones? What if we don't give you a single Inkstone?"

Fanny looked at him and said coldly.

She knew that one could not show weakness when facing vicious bandits. Once she agreed to their request, there was no guarantee they wouldn't continue to demand more, eventually leading to demands like inspecting their interspatial rings.

Therefore, she had to be firm from the start; she wasn't afraid even if it came to a fight.

"In that case, attack!"

Quite waved his hand, and a blade aura radiating a powerful Conception of Destruction flew toward Simon and Fanny. The hundred-plus Midgods behind him also unleashed various attacks.

In an instant, elemental beasts of all colors and blade and sword auras whistled toward the pair.

Simon and Fanny had briefly discussed their strategy when they first saw the bandits. Seeing the enemy attack, they immediately unleashed their Extreme Speed to dodge.

The strategy was simple: Fanny would handle the bandit leader, while Simon would deal with the Midgod bandits. Whoever finished first would help the other.

Fanny gripped her short sword and charged at the enemy leader, while Simon utilized his Speed Profound Truth to drift around the battlefield. He didn't want to release his Ice Wind Space domain just yet, wanting to test the power of his Speed Profound Truth against these Midgod bandits and gain some real combat experience.

As Simon's figure flashed by, one Midgod bandit after another fell under his longsword. A few physical attacks landed on him, but they were easily blocked by his Ice Mist Battle Armor, and the sporadic soul attacks couldn't break through his powerful soul defense at all.

Just like that, without even using his Ice Wind Space, Simon wiped out nearly a hundred Midgod bandits in no time, relying solely on his speed and defensive advantages. Although these Midgod bandits were numerous, most were "fakes" who had refined Divine Sparks, including the green-haired one who had been shouting the loudest at the start.

Those who had refined Divine Sparks couldn't even take a casual strike from Simon; the few stronger ones could barely withstand one hit, but that just meant they needed a second strike to finish off.

The two remaining bandits, seeing the situation turn dire, relied on their speed to scatter and flee in panic. Simon couldn't be bothered to chase them, instead closing in on the bandit leader, Quite.

Quite, who was struggling to resist Fanny's attacks, had no words to express his frustration. His strength was at best on the edge of a Five-Star Fiend, and he appeared clumsy and overwhelmed by Fanny's explosive fighting style. Seeing his subordinates wiped out by Simon in a few moments, he realized that this Midgod was not someone to be trifled with and knew he had kicked an iron plate. He looked for an opportunity to slip away.

But Simon, who had already surrounded him, wouldn't give him the chance. With a thought, the Ice Wind Space descended.

This sudden domain became the final straw for Quite. Bound and unable to move, Quite looked on in terror as he tried to dodge, but Fanny wouldn't miss such an opportunity. She held her short sword and instantly unleashed her ultimate move, piercing through Quite's skull.

Quite's head exploded upon being hit by Fanny's ultimate move, and two Divine Sparks dropped: one Highgod Divine Spark of the Laws of Destruction and one Midgod Divine Spark of the Darkness Element. As for his Saint Realm original body, nothing remained under Fanny's attack.

In less than a minute, the arrogant Black Wind Bandit Group had been almost completely slaughtered.

"Not bad, Simon. Your domain space is quite interesting; it can even bind a Highgod. No wonder you were so confident before."

Fanny said as she watched Simon cleaning up the battlefield. In truth, she was also shocked by Simon's Ice Wind Space. With this ultimate move as support, Fanny even felt she could trade blows with a Six-Star Fiend.

"This domain is called Ice Wind Space. I comprehended it shortly after becoming a god in the Wind Element. It only has a miraculous effect on weak Highgods like this; it might not be as effective against stronger ones."

Simon collected the interspatial rings of all the bandits, as well as the artifacts they left behind. He didn't let the Divine Sparks go either. Although these were common in Hell and weren't worth many Inkstones, Simon thought that one day when he returned to his clan, the sheer quantity of these artifacts and Divine Sparks would surely leave the clan leader and the others dumbfounded...

After tidying up the spoils, Simon signaled to Fanny that they could leave.

With a wave of her hand, Fanny summoned another flower-shaped metal lifeform. She had plenty of these in her interspatial ring and even offered to give a few to Simon, but he found them too feminine and lacking in ruggedness, so he just took one to be polite.

Inside the new metal lifeform, Fanny was still marveling at the wonder of Simon's Ice Wind Space, even asking him to cast it on her so she could experience it properly.

Unable to refuse her pestering, Simon cast a small-scale Ice Wind Space that was just large enough to envelop her.

Feeling the omnipresent binding force from all directions, Fanny realized that she could barely move unless she utilized her movement technique, which fused the Profound Mystery of Fire Element and the Profound Mystery of Explosion.

Even after unleashing her movement technique, she found that the surrounding space was still compressing her, reducing her movement speed to a third of her usual pace. At such a slow speed, she would be nothing more than a sitting duck if she were fighting an expert of the same level.

Having personally experienced the astonishing binding force, Fanny finally understood the helplessness the bandit leader Quite felt before his death. Quite could have held out for a while longer by relying on his decent Laws of Destruction, but under Simon's Ice Wind Space, he hadn't even been able to withstand a single strike.

After experiencing it for a while longer, Fanny signaled for Simon to disperse the Ice Wind Space, then tidied her appearance and sat back down on the sofa.

"Simon, your domain space is truly overbearing. How did you comprehend it? I just can't figure out such a powerful technique no matter how hard I try; I'm really envious of you."

Fanny patted her chest and sighed.

"My movement technique fuses the Profound Mystery of Explosion from the Fire Element and is best at bursts of speed, yet even at full power, I was still so restricted in your domain that my speed plummeted. It's truly a top-tier technique for combat support. With the two of us working together, killing these bandits will be as easy as chopping vegetables, hahaha."

At the end of her sentence, Fanny burst into happy laughter. She had originally thought Simon only excelled in speed, and she hadn't expected this battle to give her such a huge surprise.

"This domain space fuses the Wind Space and the Profound Mystery of Wind Element, combined with some unique application methods I've comprehended, which created its current power. However, the fusion between the Wind Space and the Profound Mystery of Wind Element isn't high enough yet; it's still in a preliminary stage, and there is still much room for improvement in the future."

In Simon's vision, he planned to fuse the Water Element Essence into it as well. That way, with the Wind Space paired with the basic profound mysteries of two elements, and combined with his special application techniques, he could construct the most ideal domain space. Only then would the Ice Wind Space reach its final version and truly live up to its name.

He believed that by then, the Ice Wind Space would be able to directly suppress even Seven-Star Fiends or experts at the Asura level.

"To have such strong binding power while only having fused two profound mysteries... Simon, you are truly amazing."

Simon just smiled modestly at this. He didn't tell Fanny about the version 1.0 of the Ice Wind Space, which had fused the Profound Mystery of Wind Element and the Water Element Essence. The current version was an improvement based on that, otherwise, it wouldn't have been so powerful, but that would involve the secret of his soul mutation.

Simon didn't want to expose that identity so early; he planned to give this young lady from a great Hell clan a little shock regarding his strength when the time was right.

The metal lifeform continued to fly in the direction of Timbu City.

After encountering the first wave of bandits from Hell, the two didn't run into any more bandits over the next few days. It was likely that this was the territory of the so-called Black Wind Bandit Group, and they wouldn't encounter other bandits for the time being.

During these few days, Simon checked the interspatial rings he had collected one by one. Fanny, who had seen it all, had no interest in this and just sat to the side, watching the excited Simon with a silly grin.

This youth from a material plane had given her too many surprises. She had thought this impulsive trip to Hell would be her protecting him, but she hadn't expected his strength to be not much worse than her own, and it seemed Simon had other tricks up his sleeve.

Fanny had only ever felt this sense of unfathomable depth from her grandfather, Grayson.

Now that this familiar feeling had appeared in Simon, Fanny was deeply fascinated by it.

Perhaps this youth before her would continue to surprise her, Fanny couldn't help but think.

Simon finished opening all the interspatial rings he could. He found that apart from a few that couldn't be opened because the owners still had other divine clones alive, all the others could be opened, including the bandit leader's. Perhaps in Quite's mind, only by staying with his strongest divine clone was he truly safe.

This worked out in Simon's favor.

After a thorough check, the bandit leader named Quite had contributed over a billion Inkstones to Simon, while all the other Midgod bandits combined only amounted to a little over twenty million Inkstones—not even a fraction of Quite's wealth.

This made Simon sigh at the wealth gap.

"Not bad at all. Just arrived in Hell and already made my first pot of gold! Thanks to the generous sponsorship of the Black Wind Bandit Group."

"Fanny, our future is bright, haha."

Simon counted the Inkstones happily.

"I have plenty of Inkstones; I can give you as many as you want, Simon."

Fanny, who had never lacked Inkstones, didn't quite understand why Simon was so happy over this small amount.

"Inkstones aren't as good when they aren't earned by yourself. I don't want to be a kept man. People from my hometown despise those who live off women."

Simon seemed to have thought of something; only then did he recall his initial vow to never be a kept man...

"What is a 'kept man', Simon?"

"Relying on a woman for everything is called being a kept man."

"Heehee, is that so? Then would you like to be my kept man?"

Fanny looked at Simon with a mischievous smile.

"Fanny, do you really want me to be one..."

Simon suddenly locked eyes with Fanny, his deep gaze filled with affection.

Fanny, who had been about to say something, suddenly met Simon's eyes, and her heart began to flutter.

"If you want to be one, then be one, hmph~"

"Hahahaha!"

Simon withdrew his gaze and burst into loud laughter.

Fanny realized she had been teased and lunged across the sofa to hit Simon, but he stood up and dodged.
