Marvel: My Luck Is A Hundred Million Points Better!-Chapter 174 This One Is Pure Welfare Bureau!

Luo Bai admitted that his soul had a strong allure.

After all, my entire existence—even my soul—is blessed by "luck."

So it's only natural that my soul would be a little... "fragrant."

If his soul weren't so coveted, why would Chthon, Dormammu, and others go to such great lengths to come to Earth and devour it?

It made sense that even Death would take an interest in him.

Seeing her intent gaze, a thought suddenly formed in Luo Bai's mind.

What if I can win over Death to fight against the Celestials?

That wouldn't be a bad idea at all.

With that in mind, Luo Bai asked directly, "Do you really want me to follow you?"

Death answered without hesitation, "Of course. I already told you—I like you very much."

Luo Bai smirked slightly.

"I know you're not interested in me but rather my soul. To put it bluntly, you just want me to be your messenger."

"In fact, a lot of people are interested in my soul. Chthon, Dormammu... they've all tried to claim it."

He spoke casually, as if discussing the weather.

But Death's expression darkened.

"Chthon? Dormammu? Are they even worthy?" she scoffed coldly.

To her, beings like Chthon and Dormammu were mere insects.

Luo Bai could tell she wasn't pleased, so he continued,

"As the Conceptual God of the Universe, I know you're far stronger than them."

"But at least they offered me benefits in exchange for my soul."

"If you want my soul to follow you after I die, shouldn't you at least give me something in return?"

"...Benefits?"

Death tilted her head slightly, looking genuinely confused.

"Isn't following me enough of a reward?"

Come on.

She was one of the creators of the universe.

If Luo Bai became her messenger, he wouldn't have to worry about the Celestials—or even Galactus.

Not a single entity in the cosmos would dare trouble him.

Thinking of this, Death added, "You know, there are countless beings in the universe who wish to follow me."

"The fact that I chose you proves how incredibly lucky you are."

Luo Bai had to admit, she wasn't wrong.

After all, Death was a Creation God—on the same level as Eternity, Infinity, and Oblivion.

Throughout the multiverse, countless creatures dreamed of becoming a messenger of the Primordial Gods.

Being chosen by one was a supreme honor, something that would bring glory to one's lineage.

If this had happened to someone else, they'd probably be ecstatic, rushing forward to accept the offer without hesitation.

Look at the Ancient One, for example.

Didn't he also follow Eternity?

It wasn't because he was weak—far from it.

But humans, no matter how powerful, had limits.

How could they ever hope to defeat a Creation God without some form of cheat?

Becoming a messenger of a Primordial God was, without a doubt, the best possible fate for a mortal.

But Luo Bai wasn't impressed.

"That's fine for others, but I have the power of a fairy. I should be treated specially."

Hearing this, Death chuckled, her tone laced with amusement.

"Oh? And what kind of 'special treatment' are you looking for?"

Luo Bai thought for a moment before replying,

"How about helping me deal with the Celestials?"

Death froze.

She looked at Luo Bai in disbelief.

"You want me to deal with the Celestials?"

Luo Bai grinned. freewebnσvel.cøm

"Of course. They're trying to cause trouble for me, so I need to handle them.

"Unless... you're saying you can't beat them?"

Silence.

Although the Five Creation Gods were born from the universe's fundamental concepts, and they held power on a conceptual level, that didn't necessarily mean the Celestials were weaker than them.

After all, the First Firmament—the very first incarnation of the universe—had created the Celestials as his personal enforcers.

The First Firmament was stronger than even the Living Tribunal.

It was because of him that the multiverse existed in the first place.

At some point, the Celestials had betrayed the First Firmament, breaking free from his control and becoming an independent cosmic faction.

Whatever had happened between them, one thing was certain:

Even the First Firmament himself couldn't completely wipe them out.

Which meant that Death alone wouldn't be able to eliminate them either.

That said...

If Death agreed to help, Luo Bai's situation would become much easier.

After all, she should still be capable of dealing with most of the Celestial members.

Since Death was trying to win him over, it wasn't too much to ask for her assistance, right?

But when he glanced at her, she had gone completely silent.

She didn't seem particularly interested in helping.

After a long pause, Death finally spoke:

"The Celestials are not as easy to deal with as you think."

"Wouldn't it be better to just stay with me?"

Luo Bai shook his head.

"As the Sorcerer Supreme, I have to protect Earth."

Seeing his determination, Death sighed.

"I have existed since the beginning of the universe, Luo Bai."

"I have seen countless mortals like you before."

"They all thought they could stand against the gods... but in the end, they all came to me."

"You have fairy power, yes... but power needs time to grow."

"Right now, you are not strong enough to defeat the Celestials."

"Even Galactus only lost to you because he was starving."

"If he had been at full power, you wouldn't have stood a chance."

Death's tone was not mocking, but rather genuinely concerned.

She wanted Luo Bai to understand the gap between mortals and supreme cosmic beings.

But Luo Bai only smiled.

"I have to at least try.

What if I win?"

Seeing his stubbornness, Death sighed once more.

She knew she couldn't change his mind.

"There's no helping it, then."

She waved her hand dismissively.

"Since you refuse to stay, then leave."

"But mark my words... we will meet again very soon."

Luo Bai understood the implication immediately.

Death thought he was going to die soon.

And that she'd be waiting for him when he did.

But Luo Bai simply chuckled and turned away.

We'll see about that.

She waved her hand, opening the door to the Kingdom of Death, then sat back on her throne made of skulls, watching Luo Bai leave.

But just as Luo Bai was about to step forward, Death seemed to remember something. She sighed and called out to him again, "Forget it. I suppose it's because I like you so much. While I can't interfere in your battle with the Celestials... I can give you some power."

Give me power?

Before Luo Bai could react, Death raised her hand and began channeling energy into him.

The moment the fairy power sensed this new energy, it went wild with excitement, instantly integrating the power into Luo Bai's body.

It wasn't until Death stopped that Luo Bai snapped out of it and realized something was off.

...Something's wrong.

Normally, Luo Bai had to actively absorb power from others.

No one had ever given him power this willingly before.

Luo Bai had initially thought Death summoned him here to cause trouble...

But instead, she called him here just to gift him power?

The Goddess of Luck is amazing! This is pure welfare!

"I've already given you the benefit you requested," Death said calmly. "This is all I can do for you. If you still fail to defeat the Celestials... then your soul will have no choice but to remain with me."

Just as Luo Bai was savoring his newfound strength, Death's words brought him back to reality.

To be honest, her generosity caught him completely off guard.

He understood that Death was giving him this power in the hopes that, when he inevitably died, his soul would belong to her.

But the thing was... it was still uncertain whether he would actually die.

With that thought, Luo Bai grinned and said, "No problem. But this little bit of energy... isn't nearly enough. How about I help myself to a bit more?"

Death: "???"

Before Death could react, Luo Bai immediately unleashed his fairy power.

The moment it emerged, it lunged straight at the Kingdom of Death—devouring energy in massive gulps.

And it wasn't just a nibble—Luo Bai went straight for the aorta.

In an instant, more than half of the Kingdom of Death's energy had been drained away.

Death's expression turned dark.

Just as she was about to lose her temper, Luo Bai bolted—taking the fairy power with him.

Death: "..."

He ran away pretty fast.

Though she was furious, she quickly calmed down.

After all, it didn't really matter. Luo Bai would die in a few days anyway.

Unlike the Planet Devourer, she didn't need energy to survive. It wasn't as if she would go hungry.

Besides, once Luo Bai's soul arrived in her realm...

All of that stolen energy would be returned to her—with interest.

There was no need to be angry.

With that thought, Death casually raised her hand and snapped the door to the Kingdom of Death shut.

—SLAM.
