(Extra Long Chapter for Monthly Votes) “I wonder if you’ve ever had such an ‘impression’ in your mind,”
The disheveled man looked at He Ao with a wry smile, “‘A powerful light streaked across the sky, piercing through a round of terrifying blood sun,’ doesn’t it sound outlandish, like a scene from a mythological story?”
He paused, “But I’ve asked many people, they might not rember this scene at all, but when I bring it up, they all naturally feel fear and shock, as if they have lived through such a scene themselves.”
As he narrated, a man who was sowhat agitatedly tearing at the railing on the side also quieted down, quietly gazing at the disheveled man, seemingly recalling sothing due to the man’s narration.
Seeing this, the disheveled man just smiled, then redirected his gaze back onto He Ao’s cheeks, which were bowed downwards, observing He Ao’s calm expression and continued to explain,
“You are from Central Earth, you might not have this impression.
“But for those of us who have lived on this land for a long ti, this is sothing imprinted into our souls, I believe, such a scene must have occurred, perhaps even in the recent past,”
He paused again, then continued, “It’s just that we’ve all ‘forgotten’ about it, all of us have ‘forgotten’ about this thing.”
He gazed at He Ao, “This is the power of Divine Beings, there truly are Divine Beings in this world, compared to such grand entities, we are as vulnerable as insects.”
“It’s ‘K’,”
An elderly man with a long beard who was sitting two cells down from the disheveled man suddenly spoke up, “That was a Divine Miracle left by ‘K’.”
“Yes, that was a Divine Miracle left by ‘K’!”
The disheveled man nodded, looking at He Ao, “Kid, we cannot contend with Divine Beings, they wield power that far exceeds our understanding.”
“You say all this,”
The previously quiet but irritable man couldn’t resist cursing, “What does it have to do with those bastards who captured us?”
“Because,”
The disheveled man was silent for a mont, and said hoarsely, “These people are K’s ‘Believers,’ K’s ‘Followers,’ they bask in K’s Favor and power,”
His voice was trembling, “You don’t know how terrifying they are, they kill people as easily as crushing bugs, compared to them, we have no chance of victory,”
He looked at He Ao shakily, and then at the irritable man, stamring, “We can’t escape, even if we could get out of here, we can’t escape from the palm of the Divine Beings.”
Hearing this, He Ao looked up at the disheveled man.
The irritable man also looked at the disheveled man, apparently ready to swear a blue streak.
“They have nothing to do with ‘K’!”
But this ti, it was not the agitated man who spoke first, but the elderly man with the long beard who had just interjected, who hoarsely cursed, “These people are ‘false believers’ who misuse ‘K’s’ na, the real K would not allow His followers to do such things!”
“That’s right,”
The agitated man also chid in, “Whatever they say goes?
I say I’m the grandfather of these bastards!”
The disheveled man opened his mouth but ultimately did not respond to the other n’s words, instead turning to He Ao and introduced hoarsely, “That old man over there just returned from Yika not long ago, he took part in a small forum related to ‘K’ composed of a few Elderly there.
“They also believe that the Divine Being ‘K’ truly exists, but they think ‘K’ is a good ‘Righteous God,’ not an ‘Evil God’ who would have His followers capture people.”
“What do you an by ‘think’?”
The elder with the long beard couldn’t help but speak out, “This is simply the truth!
Even if God Himself were to co today, ‘K’ is a ‘Righteous God’ who saves the world, these bastards are heretics!
Heretics!
A bunch of disgusting mongrels, usurping the na of the god to gild their own faces!”
“Oh, old man,”
A light laugh echoed from deep in the corridor, followed by dull footsteps of tal boots colliding with tiled floors.
A man wearing tal boots and holding a silver steel longsword walked out from deep within the corridor, coming in front of the old man’s cell, squatting down, drawing his Longsword, and looked at the elder,
“The way you speak, it’s as if you’ve truly heard the ‘Divine Inspiration’ from ‘K’?”
“Everyone has their own Divine Inspiration,”
The old man looked at the Longsword, shifting his body slightly backward, “That blood sun is The Destroyer of the world, K destroying the blood sun is actually saving the world!”
“If you’re so confident, then why did you run?”
The man slowly thrust the Longsword through the gaps in the railing, aiming at the old man, a sowhat ferocious smile curving on his face.
“Fact is fact,”
The old man shrank back toward the wall, looking at the man, “It does not twist just because you are more vicious.”
“Old fella, you’re quite outspoken,”
The man slowly extended the Longsword further inside.
On the other side, He Ao was observing all this, his fingers slightly lifted.
“Damn it, son of a bitch,”
An irritable voice ca from the side, “Bullying an old man, what kind of skill is that, you spineless thing.”
The man extending the sword stiffened, withdrew the Longsword, turned around, and looked at the irritable man, his smile a bit sinister, “Who are you talking to?”
“I’m talking to you,”
the irritable man shook the fence, producing a loud clatter, “You mutt, let the hell out and see if I don’t beat the shit out of you for drugging like a sneak thief.”
“You’re very confident.”
The man carrying the longsword walked past the corridor, step by step towards the irritable man.
He Ao controlled his Divine Sense to pass through the walls, following the man’s steps and ‘looking’ ahead.
When passing by a nearby compartnt, his Divine Sense slightly branched out and settled in this compartnt.
A youth was currently leaning against the fence, ‘unconscious’ in this compartnt.
He Ao could tell that the kid was already awake, rely feigning unconsciousness.
“My lord, please have rcy, he’s new here and doesn’t know the rules,”
Seeing the sword-wielding man approaching the irritable man, the disheveled man hurriedly grabbed the fence, pleading sowhat.
“Shut up, beasts should stay in their pen, if you speak again, I’ll drag you out and bleed you too.”
The sword-wielding man gave a cold snort, holding the longsword in his hand and standing in front of the irritable man, easily sticking the longsword into the floor tiles.
He looked at the irritable man and smiled, “Normally, a master shouldn’t get angry with the livestock he raises, but there are always so witless beasts that do rude and reckless things, defying their master.
“I’m the second in command here, yet the boss sent to look after you livestock, which is already quite a nauseating task.
Encountering an idiot like you just makes it all the worse.”
As he spoke, he gripped the hilt of the sword, lifting the longsword again.
“My lord, please have rcy,”
At this mont, the disheveled man by the fence, still smiling, shouted loudly, “If we livestock die, it would be a loss to you as well, wouldn’t it?”
“Why the hell are you so talkative today?”
The sword-wielding man held his longsword, turned around, and swished the sword through the air, emitting a violent sound.
He looked at the disheveled man and chuckled dismissively, “Do you think the boss would punish for losing a beast?”
His gaze swept across all the people in the compartnts around him, “Do you not realize that when raising livestock, one must always breed a few extra, to avoid losses before they’re ready for market due to illness or death?”
He pointed his longsword towards the ground, step by step down the corridor, arriving in front of He Ao’s compartnt, his gaze lowering harshly as he looked at the disheveled man opposite He Ao, “Among you, so are ant to die.
In the years of raising livestock, I do not know how many disobedient beasts like you I’ve killed,”
He gazed at the disheveled man, a corner of his mouth curling into a cold sneer, “You want to save him, so are you willing to die in his stead?”
The disheveled man trembled as he gripped the fence, unable to utter a word while facing the sword-wielding man.
“Hahaha, look at yourselves,”
The sword-wielding man burst into loud laughter, “You despicable slaves, you are slaves now, you will be slaves in the future, slaves forevermore.
You ought to crawl at my feet, licking the soles of my shoes.”
His eyes once again swept across the compartnts on both sides, looking at each silhouette within,
“Look at your despicable figures, to beco Human Sacrifices for the City of Rong Guang, is actually to elevate you, do you understand?
“Allowing your pitiful, filthy Souls to receive just a bit of attention from the great Destroyer K, gives you a chance to continue your destinies as slaves in the new world, rather than being buried with the old world.
“Truly ignorant beasts, such a wonderful Grace, yet you do not know gratitude.”
“Would you be willing to accept such Grace if it were offered to you?”
A calm inquiry resonated beside him.
The sword-wielding man turned, looking towards the rear side, where the supposedly unconscious youth had no idea when he had opened his eyes, gazing at him.
In a fleeting mont, he felt his field of view flicker.
“What did you say, you little bastard,”
He staggered as he lifted his head, “I’m not like you lot, I am the chosen one, a person selected by the great Destroyer K, a person graced with the Favor of the Divine Being Rong Guang.”
His field of view swayed as he walked step by step toward the youth’s fence,
He looked at the youth, his face dark with anger.
But in a daze, he saw not just the youth; it seed that sitting there was not the youth anymore, but a skinny little girl.
The little girl also lifted her head, gazing at him, then slowly stood up, stepping toward him.
“You, who are you?”
He shook his head, looking at the little girl’s ghostly body passing through the fence bit by bit, as so chaotic mories tainted with severed limbs and blood flashed back in his mind.
He shook his head, stepping back, “No, no, you’re already dead.”
He lifted his head, looking around.
Under the dim lights, ghostly figures were erging from the fences, stepping forward.
Watching these familiar yet strange ghostly figures, he shook his head as if trying to expel the mories Echoing incessantly in his mind.
At the sa ti, a faint glow appeared on him.
He looked at the silhouettes around him and shouted loudly, “Trifling tricks, you damned slaves, even in death you remain slaves.
I am the chosen one of Destroyer K, bestowed with the Divine Being’s Rong Guang that envelops my body, none of you can touch .”
Accompanying this glow, those ethereal silhouettes stopped in their tracks.
“Beasts are beasts, dead or alive, still weak creatures.”
Witnessing this scene, the swordsman could not help but laugh out loud.
“It is impossible for K to bestow His Rong Guang upon soone like you,”
The bearded Elderly, without anyone noticing when, had once again co to the fence’s side.
He looked at the swordsman, roaring furiously, “You beast, you are the true beast!”
“You foolish slave,”
The swordsman turned around, looked at the Elderly, and pointed the tip of his Longsword at the Elderly’s cheek, “Stop repeating your ridiculous beliefs.
Destroyer K is a Divine Being who favors the strong.”
He laughed heartily, his gaze sweeping over each figure that erged by the fence after listening to the voice, including those ethereal silhouettes, then back to the Elderly threatened by his sword,
“If your pitiful and lowly theories hold true, where is your ‘K’ now?”
His mocking laughter grew louder, filling every corner of the corridor, “If He truly is the great savior Divine Being you speak of, then He should now descend Divine Punishnt upon , the laughable heretic, and burn to ashes!”
He Ao glanced up at him.
Boom—
Almost the mont the swordsman’s words fell, a loud thunderous roar exploded above the Firmant, the booming sound perating through thick walls, echoing in everyone’s ears.
Following that sound was a brilliant radiance, almost illuminating this dark world completely.
The light intertwined with Thunder, piercing the roof, the ceiling, falling from Heaven like a gaze from the infinite cosmos, transford into a sword that pierced the Firmant, running through the swordsman’s chest.
“How could…”
The swordsman’s eyes widened, he lifted his hand, wanting to touch the hollow in his chest.
The glow covering him stirred, trying to preserve his vitality.
He lifted his head, looking around.
The faces of all those around seed blurry at that mont, only ethereal figures approached him step by step.
“No, don’t co near !”
Watching those ethereal figures, he struggled to lift his sword, to drive them away.
But his movents and voice no longer had any effect.
The skinny little girl gently tugged at his arm, the pain of a torn body spread instantly to his mind.
He opened his mouth, wanting to scream, but a hand stretched out from the darkness, stuffing into his throat.
Fear spread through his eyes, and then these eyes were covered by ethereal palms one by one.
“Don’t…
kill…
…”
His throat convulsed, desperately uttering blurry words, “Please…
I beg…
you…”
Twisted mutations arose within his body, writhing flesh spread over his fra, the ethereal figures in an instant transford into fierce Devils, enveloping his body.
He Ao watched all this calmly, slightly lifting his eyelids.
The residual glow within the swordsman’s body burst forth violently, burning his body to ashes in an instant.
The falling raindrops from the pierced roof descended, carrying a slight cool breeze, dispersing the dust in the void.
Thud—
The fine steel Longsword hit the ground, emitting a clear sound.
Everyone was as if waking from a dream.
They did not see those ethereal figures, but they did witness the radiance piercing through the swordsman and burning his body to ashes.
The bearded Elderly looking at this scene, swallowed saliva faintly, finally tremblingly said, “The great ‘K’ has shown a Divine Miracle.”
“K…
K…”
The disheveled man also stuttered as he watched the raindrops falling to the ground in front of him, his brain seemingly blank in that instant, losing the ability to organize speech.
But one thing finally beca clear to him.
Divine Beings do not stand by the side of evildoers.
An eerie silence filled the entire space, reverted to somberness.
And amidst this surprise, a sowhat slender youth had managed to squeeze his body through the gap in the fence, diligently using his foot to hook the steel Longsword on the ground, slowly pulling the Longsword towards him.
Zzzt——
The sharp sound of a longsword scraping on the floor finally caught so people’s attention.
“That sword,”
soone in the crowd shouted, “can be used to break the shackles.”
At this ti, the youth had already dragged the sword to a closer spot and grasped the hilt.
But just as he picked up the longsword, a slightly puzzled shout ca from deep in the corridor, “What was that sound?”
The youth quickly hid the longsword under the straw mat.
“Did I just hear the voice of the lieutenant?”
A slightly sharp voice rose in the darkness.
“Did you?
Isn’t it just thundering?
Why isn’t this light stable, flickering on and off,”
another slightly muffled voice also followed, “Damn, bro, there’s a hole here.”
“What?”
The sharp voice slowly moved under the lamplight, revealing a gaunt figure.
He looked up at the opening in the roof where rain leaked through and scratched his head, “How did this hole get made, and why so round?”
“Bro, what is this tal piece?
Could it be a teorite that fell from the sky, making such a hole?”
At this ti, a short and plump figure bent down to pick up a piece of tal debris from the ground.
“Why don’t you say it’s an alien spaceship?”
The gaunt man rolled his eyes.
“Bro, I’m thinking,”
the short and plump man glanced at the iron scrap in his hand, “isn’t it possible?”
“This is a fragnt of an iron boot,”
the gaunt man knocked on his companion’s head and then leaned over to take a look, “It must be the lieutenant’s; I wonder why a piece fell off.”
“Hey, that dumbass lieutenant likes wearing those iron boots and running around everywhere, clanking annoyingly as he walks,”
upon hearing this, the short and plump man seed to rember sothing, “If you ask , the boss’s decision to send him to guard the place was truly brilliant and mighty.”
“Do you not want to live?”
The gaunt man once again rapped the short and plump man’s head, “The lieutenant is a D-level, and with the power of Grace, he counts as a C-level bigwig.
If he hears what you’re saying, we could both end up dried at.”
“Sigh,”
the short and plump man shrunk his head, then he looked around and snickered, “Don’t worry, bro, there’s not even a shadow of the lieutenant nearby; he can’t hear us.”
Then he glanced around the compartnts and whispered, “Bro, is it true that the lieutenant often slaughters livestock?
And that his thods are especially cruel?”
“The affairs of such personages, what do they have to do with us.”
The gaunt man shook his head, “And what does it matter if a few livestock die?
These livestock are sowhat redundant; if they die, they die.”
“Eh, I just feel like, we go through all the hard work to bind and bring people back, then they decide to kill at will, really not valuing our labor.”
The short and plump man shook his head.
“Stop wasting ti chatting,”
the gaunt man cursed and his gaze swept around, eventually settling on the youth sitting to one side, he walked straight to the enclosure, opened the fence, and looked at the youth, “Little mouse, the boss told us to ask you so questions, co with us.”
The youth was silent for a mont but ultimately stood up and walked out of the enclosure.
“Good, just cooperate nicely,”
the gaunt man smiled, “Don’t worry, we generally don’t kill indiscriminately.”
The two n led the youth down the corridor towards the other end.
The youth’s gaze swept across the compartnts on both sides, and then he saw He Ao sitting in the compartnt beside him.
In that instant, his eyes widened abruptly.
He Ao looked at him, smiling and slightly shrugged his shoulders, and when the figures of the slim and fat n couldn’t see, he mouthed sothing subtly.
The youth lowered his head, mimicking He Ao’s lip movents.
Guessing the aning that corresponded to the lip movents,
‘Leave’
