Chapter 1670: 22.56 Third Red Star - You are...
The sudden arrival of the uninvited guest incurred the anger of the God of Void, as he was noticed staring at his beloved with a gaze that made others think of something. On the other hand, the God of Void didn't mind at all. He is used to being stared at no matter where he is. The natural allure he possessed plus his mischievous facade made him irresistible in the eyes of others.
Seeing Lieutenant Sirius von Shaka made the former general's eyes narrow in criticism. He stood before the farmer's line of sight, completely blocking the figure of his beloved in this man's eyes. This made the atmosphere not only awkward but also tense.
The God of Void asked him with a cold tone of voice, "What are you doing here?"
"My Lord, I want to ask you about something. It was regarding the residential area. Are you truly planning on destroying the houses in it?" The young lieutenant Sirius von Shaka questioned.
Ye Xiajie, though for a moment he seems to have forgotten about this plan. This plan was actually only made just so they could separate from that area while the wardens and the two systems work together to investigate the venue where he drains the blood of his victims.
"The one in the residential area. Yes, that is the plan. We plan to make it a free open land so tents can be stationed in it. This includes the hospital and command center. After all, no one knows what would happen if the sea god struck the land," said the God of Void.
The God of Destruction, in his mermaid form, sat at the edge of the pool, playing with his silver tail. Sirius von Shaka tried to sneak a peek, but the man in front of him was like a towering wall, preventing that from happening. He can only pretend that he didn't know the irritated expression of the former general on his face.
The young lieutenant said, "But sir, for the residents, the current houses treated those places as their home, so..."
Another voice was heard from behind the former general. It was filled with a sense of languidity and seductiveness. As if a lazy succumb was trying to talk to him with an allure one couldn't ignore at all.
"This is a surprise. Didn't you say that it is your dream to save as many as you can as a soldier? You even said that you cannot be called one if you can't save someone. We are now helping you do what your wish is. This is also a preparation for an impending calamity," said the king of mermaids.
Thoughts of the ancient god's soul inside Sirius von Shaka: 'This child is too beautiful. How come I had a feeling that I had seen him before? '
Sirius von Shaka was stunned as he finally saw the face of the mermaid king with a seductive voice and an alluring face. He was so dazed that the general slapped him behind his back and glared instinctively at the latter. Of course, the mermaid king just giggles at this scene.
Smack!
Hiss!
The God of Void looms his face near the young lieutenant, allowing the latter to see his dark expression. Making the latter ignore the pain in his head and recall his current identity.
"Sir?"
"Watch your eyes! That's mine," declared the former general.
The young lieutenant acted like he was panicking and said, "N-No, no, I didn't mean anything." In reality, his thoughts are: 'Damn brat. Whoever cares if he is your lover. Once I've eaten you both, you will still be together in my stomach!'
Rumbles~
The God of Void immediately went to his beloved and kept him safe. The whole land on the planet was shaking clearly. Some things are happening in this world that are capable of affecting the whole star. The shaking of the land happened for a while, but it also stopped and no longer got stronger.
Hei Anjing mumbles, "This is… not an earthquake. Something is happening in the sea."
"Had he made his move?" Ye Xiajie asked.
The God of Destruction responded, "Most likely."
Finally, the wardens and the systems contacted the terminal of the mermaid king to report. Normally, they would send the report to the God of Void, but since the task came from the God of Destruction, they reported to him directly instead.
Rings~
Click!
"What is it?" asked the mermaid king in a dazed manner.
The first one to speak was Yun Ming. [Master, we found it. We found a few paths connected to it and based on the number of dried corpses, there are at least a hundred.]
"I see. Return for now," commanded the God of Void.
Those all from the opposite side of the call collectively said, "Yes, Lord Hei!"
After the call ended, Sirius von Shaka, who was listening on the side, instantly realized what was happening. He immediately tried to escape, but his own shadow was beyond his control, and the vessel he was in was captured, making him unable to move.
Tsk!
Sirius von Shaka asked, "Since when did you know?! You two are gods, aren't you? Young ones truly don't have any manners."
He tried to absorb the power of darkness but instantly felt that there was something wrong with it. The darkness that captured him wasn't any ordinary darkness but the purest darkness born from the void. It had that same effect of miasma—no, a much stronger effect on him. After all, this is the void that is feared by the other gods, even those from ancient times. The only element in existence that was born from the negativity of the world laws and is considered from the very beginning.
Sirius von Shaka, with a disbelieving look, asked, "You!? Are you the Sovereign God of Void!? The child was born with the same disgusting power as that menace! Someone like you should have never been born!"
The God of Destruction flicked his finger, and a small ball of silver energy hit the young lieutenant. Even though he wanted to be harmed in his physical body, his soul was directly injured by that small energy ball. The ancient god's soul in Sirius von Shaka's body started screaming in pain after getting hit by that small silver energy ball.
AGHHH~
"Impossible! How can you control the power of chaos!? That is that person's ability!!" exclaimed the ancient god's soul in the body of the young lieutenant.
The God of Destruction just gave him a glance and then ignored him. He looked at his beloved and said, "My love, you can devour him as you wish."
"Alright. Leave him to me," said the God of Void. He gave him a kiss before walking towards Sirius von Shaka.
The mind of the ancient god before them was in chaos. He couldn't understand what was happening right now. How can there be a young god capable of wielding the power of chaos? Not only that, his partner is also capable of devouring him, which is the power of gluttony. A purplish-black egg appeared in the hands of Ye Xiajie. Though this egg is unhatched, it is capable of using its ability to devour. He only needs to get it near the prey, which might attract its hunger.
As expected, the moment the egg smelled the fragrance of the ancient god's soul, it immediately revealed its nature to eat everything. It jumped into Sirius von Shaka's head, devouring the soul and everything this man had. In the process of death, the ancient god saw the blurring face of the God of Destruction looking at him with empty eyes within those silver irises, and the small figure of that prince merged with the ones the God of Destruction had.
"Ha-ha... I recognize you now. You are that child… the child born from Lord Chaos and that evil thing. Something we shouldn't have touched. If you didn't die, that menace wouldn't have devoured us until he had gone insane and Lord Chaos wouldn't have us to die. Prince, I..."
The figure of Sirius von Shaka was completely devoured. He disappeared on the spot while the God of Void stared at his beloved and couldn't believe what he had just heard. However, he had some guesses in his heart as to why his beloved is too kind to the World Eater or why he tried to save him. Hearing everything now makes sense.
Maybe in the first place, this beautiful person wasn't meant to fall in love with him.
Maybe he was meant to be someone he was fated to be; however, in the end, his other half chose him above everyone and anything.
"I plan to tell you everything after this trial. However, at this point, there is no need to hide it anymore. A'Xia, can you hug me, please?"
Hei Anjing looked at him and smiled helplessly. He stretched out his hand, waiting for him to hug him back. Fear, which rarely appeared within those silver eyes, was now glowing brightly and could not be ignored. Without hesitation, the God of Void let himself fall into this warm embrace that gave him what he has right now.
Hugging the slightly trembling body in his embrace, the God of Void whispered, "Don't be afraid, Jing'er. I will accept everything you want to say. I will never leave you."
"Okay," said the God of Void.
