As time passed, the fear within the prime minister's eyes began to intensify to the point that it nearly showed through his face. Even though the guard wasn't well versed in politics or seeing through the skillful act of the politician. They are still good at their job and know that there is something wrong with these people, and they must hide something very critical. “Did you hide something from us?” The guard asks with sharp eyes. The question from the guard brought fear and anxiety inside their eyes, but the eyes of the man who claimed to be the Persian prime minister quickly returned to normal unlike the eyes of the king who was somewhat hesitant and reluctant while looking at the refugees around them like he was deciding about something within his mind, But…. “I warned you. If you didn’t listen to our request to meet with your leader. You and all of your precious refugees will regret it! Isn’t that right? My king.” “Ye… yes…” The king said in a small voice and tried to avoid
After hearing the number from his master. The Black Merchant's eyes went wide for a little bit before returning to normal. “Consider that I can’t unleash all of my power otherwise these people would immediately go insane. Even if it’s me, that number alone would take me some time before I could eliminate all of them.” Said the Black Merchant. “That’s not the worst part. From what I have detected through my spiritual sense, hundreds within that army could rival the power of this world Level 6 power user and 1 more with the power of at least equal to Level 7.” Zhu Wushang added. The Black Merchant nodded in acknowledgment and asked. “Master, now you can alter reality to the point of creating something from nothing. Can you erase that army out of existence?” The Black Merchant asks. Zhu Wushang shook his head. “No, My power can’t affect those with soul and consciousness, even if it's just the ant at our feet my power still can’t affect them directly. So consider that those cursed on
Zhu Wushang immediately looked in the direction of the jeep and saw that Aurelia's face was a little bit complicated. She frowned but was also smiling in relief at the same time while looking at Armand, the Persian king's face. He felt a little bit uncomfortable in his chest like he can’t fully breathe as he wants. This feeling is the first for him. Of course, he knew this should be the feeling called jealousy. Even if he knew that Aurelia would never betray him. But when he looked at Aurelia's face when she was looking at Armand's face… That face was like when someone saw their old flame or their ex after they had broken up for a long time but still have a good feeling with each other. All of that… It pissed him off. It’s not to the point of making him angry but this still irks him very much. Unknown to him, his sullen mood and unsatisfactory toward the current situation was clearly displayed to the Black Merchant including the people that are surrounding him who are watching the
“It’s because I’m your servant that’s why I’m trying to stop you from embarrassing yourself, master!.” The Black Merchant grit his teeth as he tried to reason with his master who wanted nothing more than to use his hug to turn that poor Armand into meat paste. “You think I give a shit!? Release me this instance! Let me hug that guy! Just one hug! If he survives I’ll stop bothering him!” Zhu Wushang argues as he increases his strength to break free from the Black Merchant hold. The Black Merchant immediately increases more power to the brink of the safety threshold so as to not harm the innocent bystander around them or they might go insane if a tiny portion of his dark power leaked out. “What? hug the guy? He said "hug the guy" right?” One of the bystanders asked his friend who stood beside him. “Yeah… I heard it, this guy is… weird and he suddenly wants to rampage and hug the gut at this hour? Is his urge so intense!? Shit! Is this guy going to target me next?” The bystander frien
While Aurelia was still pouring out all of her frustration while repeatedly beating Zhu Wushang's chest. The reaction from the surrounding people starts to get weird. The guard who wants to question Zhu Wushang is looking at each other in awkwardness and the guard who was arguing with the Persian prime minister a moment ago squinted his eyes while looking at The Black Merchant. Now, something had clicked within his mind and he remembered the face of The Black Merchant. “Oh! You’re Mr. Black Merchant! I’m sorry for not recognizing you sooner!” The guard apologizes while all of his guard fellows quickly follow suit. One must know that during these 5 years, other than guarding Zhu Wushang at the Black Pyramid. The Black Merchant had traveled to Alexandria to check on Zhu Wushang people from time to time. Many times that he had arrived here and needed to help Alexandria to establish order and repel the abomination horde away from Alexandria. He even crossed to the other world to clear
“So… Here I am. What do you want to tell me?” Aurelia asks with a little bit of impatience in her tone. Arman wants to say something but then he stops himself after he’s looking around and sees a lot of people looking at them. What he’s going to tell his ex is not something for the ears of the masses, lest they panic and that would be counterproductive for both him and Aurelia. “It’s not good to talk about it here. Can we have a safe place to talk?” Arman asks. “Fine, follow me then.” Aurelia nods and enters the jeep she used to come here along with Zhu Wushang and the Black Merchant. —--- A few minutes later Aurelia led the people from the Persian caravan to the guest room outside of the Alexandria wall. She led the people walking through the door into the guest room without saying anything and sit down on one of the luxurious couches within the room. “Please come in, sit… if you want any drink. There’s a menu on the wall panel and the table. It’s self-service here.” Aurelia sai
Zhu Wushang's questions alert both Arman and the Prime minister, they quickly look at each other as if they are trying to convey something through their eyes, but the Prime minister just stares at Arman before acting as if nothing had happened. “There’s nothing.” Said Arman. Zhu Wushang then looked at both Arman and the Prime minister seriously before saying in a cold tone. “Are you sure there is nothing you want to tell us? I warn you. If something bad happens to Alexandria, Aurelia, and her people. I’ll think of it as you deliberately hiding something that threatens the order and security of this place. And I’ll consider you my enemy.” Zhu Wushang said with a deadly serious glare that sent a chill down the spine of both Arman and the Prime Minister. “Arman…” Aurelia called. “Huh?” Arman turns toward Aurelia, hoping that she might think about their old relationship and lend a helping hand to him. “If I were you. I’ll heed his warning and tell him whatever I want to hide or what
The first picture showed the top view of Alexandria and the area surrounding it. Then comes the second picture which zooms out to see more area surrounding Alexandria, then the picture changes continuously from picture to picture as if she’s trying to find something. Then… the picture changes to the area far from Alexandria about 500 kilometers to the east. A large dark patch that looks like a horde of black insects marching through the ruined city and wasteland appears on the screen. Aurelia quickly entered the command into her notebook to see what exactly was on the screen. The system and the communication between her notebook and the command center within Alexandria and the satellite took some time to load and respond to her command. During this time, Zhu Wushang looks at the Black Merchant and nods at him to send a signal for him to stay where the exit of this room is to prevent Arman and this Prime Minister from fleeing when things are bad for them. The prime minister sensed
Within the great unknown space inside Azathoth’s main body. Under the starry sky that represents countless alternate realities and universes, Zhu Wushang walked toward the unknown where he had the sense that it was the center of Azathoth's main body that had generated countless universes and realities as dreams.In this great unknown and only the starry sky all around and no ground no direction should create a sense of dread to anyone who was to be in this situation. But not for him, Zhu Wushang felt like he was at home. No difference than he was on the bed of his home and sleeping with his two little princesses along with his wives.Zhu Wushang slowly walked toward the center of it all for an unknown amount of time and then stopped…The black page, no it should be the last vestige of power from Azathoth, was floating in front of him. This last vestige was composed of a little bit of power and a complete understanding of all creation. It will enable him to be completely omniscient whe
The atmosphere of the world immediately changes the moment Cthulhu's soulless husk appears outside of the coast. The air felt heavier and the evil thought hidden within everyone's mind no matter how small was beginning to swell and from the thought, it quickly transformed into action.Everyone at the coastline suddenly screamed and laughed in madness and began killing each other. Everyone who saw The figure of Cthulhu's soulless husk began to descend into madness no matter who they were. Lovers killing each other, parents killing their children no matter whether they are old or young, healthy or sickly. They began to kill each other with the nearest weapon they could find.But before the situation spirals out of control a wave of specialized spirit-qi explodes from the center of the Great Phoenix Empire capital like a water wave in a pond when a stone is thrown in it. The wave of specialized spirit-qi is the power from Zhu Wushang's formation that Duke Tan dong had set up beforehand.
More than ten Heavenly realm invaders rush at Aurelia as they perceive that her turret was the most threatening out of all the turrets that usually use a dozen of bullets to shatter their spirit-qi shield. The one in Aurelia's control used only one bullet and it could shatter their spirit-qi shield like wet paper.But the moment those invaders entered within 20 meters range from the turret they got caught by an invisible power that held them into place and they couldn’t detect any spirit-qi before their bodies turned into swiss cheese with bloody holes and fell from the sky.Aurelia looked at the protector who stood beside her turret and smiled.“Thanks, mom.” Said Aurelia toward Her mother who wears the white traditional cloth of this world which strangely matches the features of the Roman woman.“No problem sweety” Helena responds with a smile as she continues to guard her daughter against any threat that might threaten her.While the Aurelia side was going smoothly, the side of Tia
— Lower Realm —After the disappearance of Zhu Wushang. Tian Xiulan led the leaders of the lower realm and the people who could fight from the refugee to the strategy meeting.The meeting was led by the brain of the lower realm, the strategist Duke Tian Dong. He proposes some of the most likely scenarios that might happen when Zhu Wushang, who is the most powerful guardian of the lower realm, were to disappear.With the input of the information from Sebastian who knows about how the cultists work and the inner workings of the elder gods and outer god, including Duke Tian Dong's information network that he had painstakingly built over these 5 years that has many informants even in the Heavenly realm. That the lower realm needed to prepare to deal with was narrowed down to only one.The scenario in which the Heavenly realm can’t live in its miserable realm is degrading as time passes. Then chooses to intensify the war and rushes to take over the lower realm and kill all of the natives o
— Heavenly Realm —The war between the Heavenly realm and the realms below devolves from the grand scale of war into minor skirmishes and squabbles between the Heavenly realm and the alliance between the lower and the upper realm. No, it shouldn’t be called the lower realm and the upper realm anymore, because both realms nearly merge into one.Many locations in the upper realm appeared in the lower realm, including the location of many sects and natural wonders of the upper realm. This results in increasing the purity of the spirit-qi ambient in the lower realm. Which led to all of the cultivators in the lower realm becoming stronger than they should be.Normally, this wouldn’t become a problem because the heavenly realm was many times stronger than t
Cthulhu can only grit his teeth because what Zhu Wushang said is true. His throat was nearly healed, and within a few minutes, he could use it to try out his wild card… the card that he was very reluctant to use as it was a double-edged sword.As time passed, All of his power was nearly depleted and so his throat was completely healed. His barrier vanished into motes of black particles and Zhu Wushang rushed toward him at a speed no one could comprehend.“Greetings Lord Azathoth!!” Cthulhu shouted.Slash!!!But… It was too late, Zhu Wushang's hand blade had cut his head clean off and the power to destroy reality immediately rampaged on both Cthulhu's headless body and his severed head.The headless body of Cthulhu quickly disintegrated as it got deleted from reality but, as for the severed head. It still got a life of its own and continued to use the power that was lingering within the head to resist the power of the reality destruction from Zhu Wushang.But, what Cthulhu did was not
Tian Xiulan stared at the darkened atmosphere as she fearlessly peered through the darkness that started to form with her rage-filled eyes.“Fuck off!!” Tian Xiulan screamed in anger as she produced Bailan out of her storage ring and swung its blade out of her scabbard at the darkness that was beginning to form in front of her.Slash!!“Skreeeeeeccchh!!”The blade cut through space and reality itself toward the original source of the power behind the cursed phenomenon that was about to form and it suddenly collapsed along with a screeching sound of agony because of Tian Xiulan's slash.“Let’s go, I have the feeling that the Cthulhu guy will start to pressure us harder from now on.” Said Tian Xiulan.Seeing that Tian Xiulan has dispelled Cthulhu's power and even injured him, Sebastian let out a smile as he bowed toward the wife of his master with respect.“Yes, M’lady.”—-----Within the unknown dimension outside of the universe. The sea of darkness is heavily decorated with a myriad o
“In doing so, he killed nearly 70% of the Heavenly realm population, especially the strong one. Many strong sects and ancient empires fell within the first 3 weeks of his massacre. The soul energy he had collected seems to be used in breaking the seal. After all the sacrifices that Cang Tianlu made. The seal was unsealed with a less than satisfactory result.”What Hong Di told him was like an absurd tale of some kind. He knew how much power the soul of the living held and the stronger the being that soul came from the more power it held. Even the soul of an ordinary mortal, the power it held was not to scoff at. And using the power of the soul of 70% of an entire population of the heavenly realm and still not enough to unseal?Then because of his nearly eradicating all life in the Heavenly Realm and finding it not enough, now he targets the upper realm and then the lower realm.It sounds very far-fetched to him unless there is some hidden fact that he or Hong Di didn’t know. The only
After Zhu Wushang was alone in the room and his two little princesses walked out of his line of sight for a moment. His smile slowly vanishes and his face serious once again. He gets up from his bed, snaps a finger, and wears the back traditional cloth of this world he usually wears.Sebastian suddenly appears behind his back with a posture of a loyal servant from the shadow at the corner of the room as he prepares to accompany his master in today's business.“Let’s go meet that guy Jin guy from the Heavenly Realm.” Said Zhu Wushang.“Yes my lord” Sebastian responded and followed Zhu Wushang behind who was walking out of the room toward the guest wing of the Royal palace where the man named Jin was at.—At the guest wing of the royal palace, Zhu Wushang navigates to the courtyard where a man named Jin is living while asking the direction from royal guards who are patrolling the area.He then arrived at a large courtyard where there are many royal guards and some cultivators who volun
