Marvel: My Luck Is A Hundred Million Points Better!-Chapter 173 If Soft Tactics Don’t Work, Then Force Them!!!

As Death, now in her skeletal form, approached him step by step, Luo Bai could feel the danger looming over him.

It was clear—Death was not pleased that he had refused to stay in the Kingdom of Death.

She had returned to her true form, and the aura she emitted carried a clear killing intent.

Even though Death, as a skeleton, had no flesh or facial expressions, Luo Bai could still sense the arrogance and contempt radiating from her.

For a being like Death—a Primordial Creator—it wouldn't take much effort to forcibly imprison a human soul and keep it trapped in her domain forever.

Realizing her intent, Luo Bai's expression darkened.

She's planning to "kill" me...?

Without saying a word, he simply stared at the skeletal figure before him, mentally preparing for a battle.

And if it came down to it, he had no delusions—this wouldn't be an easy fight.

After all, in terms of power, Death far surpassed even Galactus, the Devourer of Worlds.

Galactus, for all his might, still had a weakness—his endless hunger.

But Death?

She was a conceptual being, a fundamental force of the universe.

To truly kill Death, one would have to erase the very concept of death itself.

That wasn't just difficult—it was practically impossible.

Because of this, Luo Bai never even considered the idea of killing Death.

Instead, he was focused on escaping.

But then again...

Wasn't he also a conceptual being in some way?

After all, his greatest trump card wasn't brute strength—it was luck.

Luo Bai narrowed his eyes.

I wonder how "luck" plans to help me this time...

His mind raced as he carefully observed Death's every movement.

By now, she had already closed the distance between them.

Standing before him, clad in a flowing black robe, she raised her skeletal hand as if preparing to strike.

Luo Bai instinctively took a step back, ready to unleash his celestial power in response—

But then, something unexpected happened.

Death spoke.

"The celestial power within you has already been marked by the gods," she said, her voice eerily calm.

"They've decided you are a threat and have already begun planning your destruction."

Death's voice carried a strange gentleness, as if she were trying to persuade him.

"If you stay with me... they will never find you. You will be safe from them, and you will never have to experience the pain of dying a mortal death."

"Isn't that a good thing?"

The sudden shift in Death's demeanor made Luo Bai instantly realize—something was off.

A moment ago, he had thought she was preparing to strike him down.

But now...

Was she trying to help him?

Confused, Luo Bai hesitated before asking, "What do you mean? I thought you were furious about my act of resurrecting the dead. But now... it almost sounds like you're trying to protect me?"

Death let out a small, amused laugh.

"Dissatisfied? Why would I be dissatisfied?" she asked, tilting her head slightly.

"Didn't I already tell you? Everything in this universe follows a predetermined order. Life and death are part of that order."

Her tone was casual, as if she were explaining something obvious.

"Since you brought those people back to life, it only proves that they were never meant to die in the first place."

"I have no reason to be upset about it." frёeωebɳovel.com

Hearing her explanation, Luo Bai suddenly understood.

"So... what you're saying is, the people I resurrected were supposed to be alive anyway?"

"Even if I hadn't revived them... something else would have restored them eventually?"

Death nodded.

"You can think of it that way."

Luo Bai was stunned.

So he had been worried over nothing?!

He had thought his mass resurrection had offended the Goddess of Death...

Yet it turned out his actions were perfectly natural within the grand scheme of things.

But if that was the case...

Why had she brought him here?

Luo Bai frowned.

"If I haven't offended you... then why exactly did you summon me here today?"

Death let out a light chuckle.

Her voice carried a playful tease as she responded,

"Because... I like you~~~"

Luo Bai: "......"

Good news: Death didn't intend to kill him.

Bad news: Death had taken a romantic interest in him.

Luo Bai suddenly had a very strong suspicion.

Wasn't this just another side effect of his passive "luck"?

After all, luck in love was still luck, wasn't it?

He wasn't surprised that Death, the ultimate love-brained entity, would fall for someone.

But...

They had literally just met!

Luo Bai couldn't help but sigh and mutter, "As one of the Cosmic Entities, shouldn't you be a little more... reserved? We just met, and you're already saying you like me..."

He hadn't even finished speaking when—

Death then spoke:

"Although you were not born for war like Thanos, death follows you wherever you go. That is why I like you so much... Through your eyes, I see the entire universe."

Her voice carried a strange excitement.

Death didn't offer much explanation, but Luo Bai quickly pieced together what she meant.

Odin had once claimed that he was the center of the universe.

At the time, Luo Bai had dismissed it as nothing more than an exaggeration.

Sure, he understood that his status as a time traveler and his incredibly lucky buff played a role in his growing importance.

But even so, it didn't change the fact that the Marvel Universe's main storyline was now slowly shifting toward him.

At first, the key events of this universe had revolved around Stark, Captain America, Thor, and others.

But now...

Everything seemed to revolve around Luo Bai.

The major incidents happening on Earth—whether good or bad—were all centered around him.

And where Luo Bai went, death inevitably followed.

That's why Death claimed to "like" him.

But that didn't mean she loved him.

Rather, she was drawn to his very existence—to the fact that he had unknowingly become the "center of the universe."

To be more precise, Death was attracted to his soul.

She wanted him to follow her.

Just as the Ancient One had once followed Eternity.

Upon realizing Death's true intentions, Luo Bai immediately rejected her.

"But I don't want to stay in the Kingdom of Death," he said firmly.

He half-expected Death to be furious.

But to his surprise, she simply responded with calm indifference:

"That's fine~~ If you don't want to stay now, I'll just ask you again next time~~"

Luo Bai: "..."

Luo Bai wanted to say something, but before he could even open his mouth, Death continued:

"A human's lifespan is only a few decades. Even if you are a mage, a few hundred or even a few thousand years will pass in the blink of an eye."

"If, someday, you find life meaningless and wish to abandon your body, why not follow me?"

She paused before adding,

"Besides, you've recently caught the attention of the Celestials."

"They are different from me."

"I was born from the concept of the universe, and everything I do must follow the cosmic laws. I can't just kill cosmic beings on a whim."

"But they can."

"The Celestials were born to destroy. If they decide to annihilate Earth and kill you, then Earth will be destroyed—without question."

"As the Sorcerer Supreme of Earth, even with the power of fairies, you won't be able to stop them."

"And when that time comes... you'll be erased along with the planet."

"But don't worry."

She let out a soft chuckle, her voice eerily soothing.

"I will save you."

"After they destroy your body, I will summon your soul..."

"That way, you won't be able to refuse me anymore~~~"

Death was happily making plans for the future.

Hearing her words, Luo Bai finally understood.

She was dead set on having his soul follow her.

If the gentle approach didn't work, she'd use force.

If force didn't work, she'd wait for him to die and take him anyway.

Luo Bai sighed.

So that's how it is, huh?
