The Annihilator: Killer Of Gods

Looking at Karsha laughing with Starr, Lady Illo felt a wave of guilt wash over her heart. The past three weeks hadn't been easy for her. As empress of the entire island, she had been working tirelessly.

She visited all sections of the island, appointing competent aides to manage its affairs. She also accompanied some of her people to explore the seven doors Karsha had shown them.

Though the shadow guards could have managed the exploration alone, she wanted to be there to ensure nothing went wrong, especially in the area filled with countless monsters. Her instincts proved right—had she not been there, none of them would have returned safely.

The place was overrun with vicious monsters, creatures even Karsha wouldn't dare confront. It took some time to understand the structure of the Monster World, but once they did, she ensured that construction and other developmental projects continued smoothly.

She established divisions to explore the entire island and identify resources that could aid its development.

Karsha had already told her that many things on the island could help them advance quickly, so she worked hard to uncover these resources before it was too late. Aware of the potential for greed in society, she wanted to assert control early to prevent future issues.

But despite all this stress, whenever she found herself relaxing, her mind would quickly conjure up the image of a strikingly handsome red-haired young man who seemed to hold the world at his fingertips. Every night, alone, she thought of him; sometimes, she even felt tempted to use their connection just to speak with him.

However, after considering it, she would force herself to stop thinking and eventually sleep. In the first week, she only thought of him occasionally, but from the second week on, her thoughts never left Karsha. Even in her sleep, she dreamed of him, sometimes waking up damp in her nether region.

She felt disturbed, and, frankly, she didn't know what to do. Karsha was someone she saw as her son, someone her daughter regarded as an older brother. Having these feelings toward him felt deeply inappropriate. Yet no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't stop thinking about him.

Now, with Karsha right in front of her, playing with her daughter, laughing and joking, she couldn't help but feel like a bad mother. Having such feelings for someone like Karsha weighed heavily on her heart.

"Seeing you up close, I must say, Lady Illo, you are a heaven-defying beauty."

Lady Illo was so lost in thought that she didn't even notice when Karsha appeared beside her. Known for her sharp senses, especially as a snake, missing his presence showed just how absorbed in thought she was.

Karsha smiled at her startled yet flustered expression. He could tell the woman in front of him was dealing with something, though he didn't know what.

"I'm taking Starr somewhere for a bit. We'll be back before you know it," Karsha said, setting Starr down.

"Big Brother, where are we going?" Starr asked.

"You'll see in a bit," Karsha replied with a smile, as a formation diagram appeared beneath their feet. "See you guys later," he said, and with that, Karsha and Starr vanished, leaving a flustered Lady Illo and snakes thrilled to welcome back their long-lost brother.

'I am a bad mother,' Lady Illo thought, shaking her head.

"Let's go back; Morr has returned, and we need to celebrate," her mother said, snapping her out of her reverie.

"Are you okay, Mom?" Morr asked, noticing the unusual look on her face.

"I'm fine," Lady Illo replied,

"Mother is right; we should go back. There's so much catching up to do. You can start by telling us how you survived and when you met Karsha." Taking her son's hand, she began leading him back to the Sanctuary.

Lady Illo's mother glanced at her daughter, shaking her head slightly. She could sense what was troubling her but hadn't expected this. 'This kid sure knows how to charm women without even trying,' she thought with a smile as she followed them.

Karsha and Starr appeared in one of the treasure rooms left behind by the mysterious figure. This particular treasure room contained only battle skills and techniques, along with some ancient cultivation methods that could drastically enhance a person's talent.

Even though Karsha already had his own cultivation method, but when he first saw these, he was tempted to grab a few and use them.

However, after a quick chat with the system, he learned that using the Soul Ring cultivation method was all he needed; none of the others would benefit him. The techniques and skills were powerful, but since he wanted to master his current abilities before adding new ones, he only selected a few soul cultivation methods for Xian.

June, on the other hand, was still unable to cultivate due to having sacrificed half her life force for him. So, despite finding some light and wind element techniques, he refrained from taking any. He wanted to cure her first before showering her with skills and techniques.

Now, things were different. Xian had awakened a path that, according to Yi Ran, could make him a formidable soul cultivator if allowed to grow. What neither Karsha nor Yi Ran knew was that Xian had not only awakened a path at the Semi-Saint stage but had also unlocked two innate talents. These talents were so valuable that even kings would either try to recruit him or eliminate him if they couldn't.

Karsha had already given Xian a few techniques, but he felt they were insufficient. If he was going to have a brother like Xian, he wanted to provide him with powerful techniques and cultivation methods that would lay a solid foundation. His trip to the island this time was to find such techniques for him.

But it wasn't just Xian he had in mind; he also needed skills for his four wives and Lady Li Jing. June was a light and wind cultivator, so he sought skills suited to her. He had already given divine-grade techniques to both Yi Ran and Mei Lin, but he still wanted to add more. The more skills they had, the better their chances of overpowering their opponents.

June and Yi Ran both used swords, so he needed skills tailored to their respective elements and weapons. Mei Lin, a spear maiden, was in line to receive the Thunderbolt Lance he had once used to defeat Khinux.

It was perfect for her, especially since she was now a Sage with a strong affinity for the lightning element. He also intended to add a cultivation method to her already formidable divine technique, filled with overpowered skills.

Even though they no longer needed to cultivate using the mana or spiritual energy in the air, Karsha wanted them to at least use the ambient energy to temper their bodies and further increase their strength.

His essence would ensure their beauty, not that they needed it—they were already stunning enough to shatter empires and reach the heavens.

However, the most important reason he returned to the island was to find a complete cultivation method for Li Fei. Like her brother, she had awakened some innate talents, and Karsha was determined to give her the best treatment.

While he currently didn't have any treasures to raise her affinity for the wood element, he had some recipes that would help her build a solid foundation at a high level for now.

Karsha couldn't help but feel a touch of inadequacy whenever he heard his wives talk about their talents. Yi Ran possessed a high affinity for fire and a perfect affinity for lightning—specifically, tribulation lightning.

June, too, had a high affinity for the light element, and with the 100,000-year-old Extreme Yin Heavenly Pure Wind Essence Water, her affinity for wind had soared to perfection.

Mei Lin had an excellent affinity for ice and a perfect affinity for lightning, while Li Fei had awakened with a high affinity for wood. Karsha had big plans for each of them and wanted all his women to experience the best.

For Lady Li Jing, he only needed some spell techniques. She had told him her Mage class was focused on offense and healing, but given their financial struggles, she had never been able to fully explore it, mostly using her abilities for cooking and minor tasks.

Karsha wanted his mother-in-law to receive the best treatment as well. Though over 70 years old, she looked like someone in her late twenties—a common effect among female cultivators as their cultivation bases advanced. Of course, they hadn't focused on staying young; it was a natural side effect.

"Maybe I should open a skill store," Karsha mused with a smile as he stood hand in hand with Starr, admiring the vast collection of skill books. After appreciating the room for a while, he began reviewing skills and techniques he intended to bring back.

Meanwhile, a day had passed, and the entire Purple Tail Anaconda Sanctuary was lively with celebrations. They were all drinking and chatting through the night in honor of their prince's arrival. After making sure her grandson was settled, Lady Illo was pulled aside by her mother for a private talk.

"Out with it—what's going on with you?" Lady Jinxx asked once they were far from the sanctuary.
