Hearing Circe's account, Dane suddenly understood what Hippolyta had just meant.
"You've been here alone, and no one else knows?"
Circe's expression grew even more despondent: "Mortals can't see my soul, even though I've tried very hard to hint to them…"
"I'll interrupt for a moment." Dane almost thought he heard wrong. "You said you hinted to them? How did you hint?"
Circe raised her hand, and Dane felt a fluctuation of magic. How amazing, she had a magic fluctuation when casting spells, but her soul was completely undetectable.
In other words, the power that sustained her soul wasn't magic?
Circe seemed to have cast some spell, and the books on the surrounding shelves flew up, floating in the air.
"That's how you hinted to them?"
"Yes, what's wrong?" Circe asked, puzzled.
No wonder Hippolyta said this place was a bit strange. If he hadn't been able to see Circe, any mortal with normal vision here wouldn't just find it strange; they would feel it was eerie.
"I think your method might have a problem…" Dane felt this Witch was a bit adorably foolish.
"I just heard you talking to yourself. Why did you do that?"
Circe was a little shy; being heard by an outsider made her very embarrassed. She explained, "I've been here alone for too long. If I don't find opportunities to speak, I'm afraid I'll lose my language ability."
Although her essence had undergone a qualitative change, Circe was once human after all. If her language function wasn't practiced regularly, she might truly lose it.
But no one had come here for a long time. Dane guessed that she spent more of her time reading here, maintaining her language function and thinking ability through this method.
It could be seen that Circe was very happy. She kept circling Dane, examining every inch of his body.
"You have a very strong physique." She praised. "And you have a power on you that I don't understand, very similar to divine power."
That was power formed by the fusion of Shazam Power and Zanzar's Power, also containing some other superpowers.
"But your power is very chaotic. Don't they conflict with each other?" Circe seemed very interested.
Her illusory hand passed over Dane's body, looking as if it were caressing him, but Dane felt nothing.
"You need to simplify your power more. Too many attributes of power piled together make them like a powder keg."
Dane also noticed this problem, but he wasn't in a hurry to deal with them. This was the risk that had to be borne for acquiring this power.
He needed some time to sort out what abilities Zanzar's Power possessed, and this was not a task that could be completed overnight.
So Dane changed the subject: "Circe, you've been here for so long, you must have read all the books here, right?"
Circe flew into the air, and the floating books danced with her body.
She said proudly, "Of course, how long do you think I've been here? I've read all the books here, every single one!"
That was perfect, it saved Dane from having to read them one by one. He asked directly, "Then do you know how to go to Hell?"
"Hell?" Circe frowned. "Who would specifically go to a place like that?"
"I have something to do there."
This made Circe awkward, but she still kindly said, "That place is the source of all evil, and a place where demons run rampant. Once you go down, it's very difficult to come back…"
She was quite kind, but Dane was very insistent. Circe could only move one of the books from the bookshelf in front of her. With a thought, the book automatically turned to a certain page.
"This records a spell that can take you to the Hell dimension, but this ritual requires you to commit murder… This is too horrible…"
Dane came to her side, took the book into his hands, and carefully looked at that page.
It recorded that to go to Hell, not only a special spell was needed, but also a special ritual. The caster needed to sacrifice a living life, preferably a human life.
If it was a holy person, the success rate would be even higher. If the person was extremely evil, the spell would almost certainly succeed.
And these conditions could actually be met all at once.
There are simply too many people who act like beasts in the name of God; some of them have even founded nations.
Dane thought, let alone a single life, he felt that even if this ritual required him to sacrifice an entire country, he could meet the conditions.
"These conditions are actually not difficult to achieve," Dane closed the book.
However, he needed to study this spell further; such a demanding ritual must have originated from hell.
Who knows which demon was just messing around; it wouldn't be surprising if someone foolishly followed the conditions only to be swallowed whole by the demon waiting on the other side—that's standard procedure.
"You… are you really going to do this?" Circe looked worried.
"I will find a Sinner to experiment on," Dane explained when she stared at him.
After all, she did help him.
"Can you please not kill anyone? I can find a way to help you; there's no need to sacrifice a life…"
