In his intense resentment, Selt's spirit departed from his body, which had lost all vitality and was severely decaying.
This process is what is commonly known as death.
Theoretically speaking, as a Sequence 3, even when facing a Level 0 sealed artifact, there is a considerable probability of escaping.

However, he had been tricked by Odis and had been severely corrupted by the "power of death," trapping him in place for several seconds and losing his best chance to escape.
Bernadette's use of "Pale Death" later on was like a devastating blow, causing his body to lose all its vitality.
And so this Sequence 3 died in this wilderness.
As soon as Celt's spirit left his body, he was seized by the "Snake Man." Despite his desperate struggles, he let out one shriek after another.
But it was of no use, since the "Snake Man" was an incarnation of a feathered serpent mixed with the aura of the "Netherworld Emperor," and was the natural enemy of all kinds of spirits.
The "Snake Man" opened its mouth and bit down on the neck of the demigod's spirit. The spirit immediately deflated like a punctured balloon, rapidly shrinking and being sucked into the "Snake Man's" mouth.
Bernadette looked at the "snake man" again, and under her extremely indifferent gaze, the "snake man" simply vanished.
She forcibly dispelled this enormous monster using "pale death".
After doing all this, Bernadette quickly took off her mask and let out a long sigh of relief.
At this moment, her face was frighteningly pale, so she quickly moved away from the area and sealed the artifact again.
If it were another deity who had fallen, the power revealed in the resurrection arrangements would not have been so easily dispelled.
However, the "Death God" path is somewhat special; it gives the stronger side an overwhelming advantage.
At this point, Bernadette, with her "pale death," had an overwhelming advantage.
Bernadette temporarily withdrew, while Odis stayed behind to clean up the mess. Although a large amount of "deathly aura" had been revealed just now, the corpses guarding the place quickly blocked the breach again.
After Selt's death, the scene here returned to its original state.
The only difference was that there was an extra Corraymond standing there stiffly. He had been caught off guard, first by the intense "aura of death," and then by the "pale death."
This made his current state very strange; although he was still alive, he had begun to turn into a zombie.
Odis, having managed to hide behind the "corpse" of the protective magic circle in time, was not greatly affected, only feeling cold all over, with stiff muscles, and her movements becoming much slower.
However, Odis still has an advantage over Corremond, who is completely immobile.
He approached Corraymond, took off the cloth bag he had been carrying, and poured out the spiritual weapon that he had never used: "You should know that your brother's work is extremely dangerous."
As Odis spoke, he sprinkled a layer of powder into the bag.
The cloth bag immediately hardens and can hold liquid for a short time.
Corraymond tried to speak, but his throat was completely stiff, and he could only make a "clucking" sound, like the cry of a living corpse.
Odis took an axe from among the spiritual weapons and used the sharp blade to cut open the blood vessels in Corraymond's neck.
The blood, which had not yet completely congealed, immediately flowed out, and Odis quickly caught it with the stiffened cloth.
"There's one thing I'm not lying to you about," Odis said calmly. "I really did calculate the amount of spiritual materials needed, and I found that the materials I had were simply not enough to complete such a complex magic array."
"So I have no choice but to borrow from you."
He smiled and said, "However, given Selt and your current situation, I think you probably don't need to pay it back."
Two or three minutes later, half a cloth bag of blood had been collected.
Corraymond, who had undergone severe zombie transformation, was also completely dead, but the surrounding conditions made it highly likely that he would become an evil spirit.
Odis ignored all of that and sprinkled a handful of powder to set Corraymond's body ablaze, lest it turn into a living corpse.
However, the leaked "aura of death" turned the flames on his body into a ghostly green, making him look like a large ball of will-o'-the-wisp, which was very eerie.
Once Corraymond's body was almost completely burned, Odis carried the blood towards the corpse dressed in the bishop's robe of the Church of the Goddess of Night: "If I'm not mistaken, once my hand enters the magic circle, it should be immediately used by the 'Emperor of the Underworld'."
The corpse said, "Yes."
"Let me first give you a brief overview of my repair plan," Odis said, placing the cloth bag at his feet and rubbing his arms, which were covered in goosebumps from the cold. "First, I will establish a secondary array around you to strengthen the sealing array. You must withstand the immense pressure from the tomb for the time being."
"Next, I will draw a new magic circle as soon as possible and complete the new seal. Then you will be able to be freed from the secondary array."
The corpse said, "I overheard your conversation with that 'Chaos Hunter,' and to be honest, what you just told me sounds like another hoax."
Just as Odis was about to explain, the corpse said again, "But you are a person sent by the goddess, so I believe you."
This made Odis think: Luckily, I lied to this guy to get closer to him.
So Odis began to bend down and draw the magic circle. When the secondary circle was finished, the symbols immediately emitted a faint light, and the surrounding "aura of death" instantly weakened.
The corpse exclaimed, "You really are an expert in magic arrays."
He can now relatively easily prevent the power of the tomb from leaking out.
Odis finally felt a little warmer, and her muscles, which had been stiff, felt much more comfortable.
He gave a brief, polite reply and then went back to drawing the magic circle that had been under Celt's feet.
That magic circle was indeed part of the sealing magic circle and could play a certain sealing role, but Odis left a "back door" that allowed the "aura of death" to invade Celt unimpeded.
At this moment, Odis added to the plan, blocking the "back door," and then let the magic circle begin to extend towards the tomb. He carefully stepped into the original magic circle and immediately felt as if he heard the voice of the "Emperor of the Underworld" again.
But they cannot hear what the other person is saying, nor are they affected by Him.
After the outer magic circle was drawn, Odis first wrapped the extraordinary characteristics that Celt had extracted with a "wall of spirituality," and then, as if holding a hot potato, placed this demigod-level characteristic in the correct position.
With the "wall of spirituality" removed, that extraordinary property slowly floated up on its own. The half-completed magic circle was immediately activated, and all the symbols emitted a little light, also floating up along with the extraordinary property.
Odis felt the pressure on her spirit body ease again, and even Bernadette dared to approach. She no longer had to worry about "Pale Death" breaking free of the seal.
Odis stood up and rubbed his stiff lower back: "I need to find someone to give me a good massage when we get back."
He then said, "There's only one last part left. When I finish the part on the tomb, I need your help to completely suppress the power of the tomb and buy me forty seconds."
Bernadette, whose face was no longer so pale, nodded: "No problem."
Theoretically speaking, this tomb has an extremely high level, but the sealed artifact in Bernadette's hands has the characteristics of Sequence 1, which is a real source of power.
As long as the uniqueness of the "Death God" path is not in there, the power inside can be completely suppressed.
Odis knew very well that the uniqueness of this path did not lie here.
After a short rest, Odis continued working, completing half of the magic circle and the power of the corpse, which protected him as he drew the magic circle, and half of him approached the simple tomb.
Finally, they arrived at the most crucial part. Odis raised his hand, signaling to Bernadette.
Bernadette donned the "Pale Death" once more, and under her full suppression and the corpse's fierce resistance, the power within the tomb decreased to a safe level.
Odis drew the magic circle as quickly as possible, while he heard ethereal roars, screams of death, and whispers of the dead.
This slowed down his brain's reaction time, but not his hand movements.
He already knew this magic circle by heart, and could draw it out using only his subconscious.
Finally, the magic circle was completed, and mysterious symbols floated in mid-air, forming a faint light shield.
At this moment, the extraordinary characteristics of the demigod level within the magic circle began to slowly rotate, emitting a faint light.
The light barrier sank rapidly and became increasingly solid until it completely enveloped the tomb, at which point no "aura of death" could be felt outside the tomb.
Odis sat on the ground and laughed, "It's done!"
The power of the "Emperor of the Underworld" was completely sealed, halting his resurrection.
The corpse said, "My mission has finally come to an end."
Not a single mistake, not a single poem, not a single post, not a single piece of content, not a single look!
His head bowed: "Please give my ashes to the church. My name is Slant Will, and I hope to be buried."
The corpse gradually collapsed, and the will that had sustained it for over two hundred years was rapidly crumbling. However, with its last strength, the corpse filled the surroundings and the interior of the tomb with an aura of peace: "You must pass through the interior of the tomb to reach the crack at the back."
"There are the remains of gods inside. Once you enter the tomb, never open your eyes."
"I have just put Salinger's last shred of consciousness to rest for the time being, and I have also put the 'Death' pathway seal in this lady's hand to rest for the time being, so that it will not establish a connection with Salinger."
"But you still need to get through there as soon as possible..."
Praise the goddess!
The body completely collapsed, turning into a pile of remains the size of small pebbles.
Odis exchanged a glance with Bernadette, who had already removed the "Pale Death" mask, and quickly sprinkled another handful of powder onto the cloth bag.
The remaining bloodstains inside immediately disappeared. At this moment, Bernadette slightly raised her hand, and the ashes floated into the cloth bag on their own.
At the same time, Bernadette has completed the recovery of Slant and Corraymond's extraordinary properties.
Then the two looked at the makeshift grave, which was completely dark inside, and they still couldn't see anything inside.
Odis gave a wry smile: "This reminds me of my experience going to a haunted house a long time ago..."
The unknown environment inside, coupled with the sudden loss of sight, is what makes it truly terrifying.
Bernadette also took a deep breath: "Who goes first?"
The fact that she could ask such a question shows that she doesn't want to be at the forefront either.
"I'll go first," Odis said casually. "Walking in front when exploring a haunted house is the best opportunity for a man to show his courage."
Bernadette smiled slightly, without refuting, and said, "I will use a spell to make our eyelids grow together so that we won't open them in fear."
Odis nodded: "That's a good idea."
The next second, his eyes closed on their own and he couldn't open them again.
Odis walked ahead, feeling his way, while Bernadette put her hand on his shoulder, and the two entered the tomb.
The tomb was so quiet that you could almost hear your own heartbeat!
Odis was a little nervous, and he moved forward little by little, feeling his way along the wall. After taking a few steps, he suddenly felt that there were holes in the wall.
This slowed Odis down a bit, allowing him to touch it carefully. Then he abruptly pulled his hand back; it was a skull!
From the outside, the tomb appears to be made of neat stone slabs, but inside it is composed of individual skeletons.
Odis swallowed hard. To avoid losing his way, he continued to gently touch the wall and keep moving forward.
Bernadette sensed something was wrong and asked, "What's wrong?"
"Nothing," Odis said. "Don't touch the wall."
Bernadette said "Oh" and took a step away from the wall.
Odis, who was ahead, gradually overcame his inner fear and walked faster and faster.
Suddenly, he felt as if he stepped on something, and the thing moved slightly. Odis reflexively opened his eyes to look, thankfully his eyelids had already fused together.
Odis gritted her teeth and took two more steps forward, when suddenly she felt a cold touch on her hand!
That's a snake!
A snake inside a skull!
However, the snakes are now asleep, their tongues sticking out of the skeleton like the skeleton's protruding tongues.
"It's all an illusion," Odis whispered to herself, trying to hypnotize herself.
This feeling is worse than letting him fight zombies or some other monster!
Bernadette, who was behind her, asked, "What?"
"It's all an illusion."
Bernadette was about to ask what it meant when she suddenly felt a weight on her shoulder, as if something had fallen from the top of the grave.
Bernadette tensed up and immediately used her spirituality to deflect the object away.
Odis suddenly felt Bernadette close to him, and he could even smell her faint fragrance.
He sighed again, wishing that some monster would appear and let him and Bernadette fight it!
But at this point, they had no choice but to grit their teeth and persevere, continuing forward.
Soon, Odis bumped into something. He reached out and touched it; it was a huge bone, more than a person's height.
When Odis placed his hand on the bones, he first heard snoring, then countless desperate cries, and chilling screams.
This made Odis unconsciously recall the most terrifying thing, and his whole body became stiff and he could hardly move.
Fortunately, Bernadette noticed something was wrong in time, immediately pulled Odis back, then hugged the limp Odis and jumped over the remains of the gods in front of her.
After taking a few more steps, the fear gradually disappeared.
