Chapter 273: Amira “Call the strongest cultivator that we got to this place now! We will do anything we can to save the container! also! call the hazard control team too! We need to secure 1 kilometer of space around this place as much as we can!” Aurelia quickly ordered with the air of the leader. The reason why she asked for the cultivator was that the cultivator has high resistance against the cursed one virus, The virus that changes almost all of the world's population into mindless monsters. “If you want to ask for a cultivator. You have the best of them standing at your side. Why don’t you call him?” Zhu Wushang's voice spoke gently near Aurelia's ear from behind as if whispering love words, showing unconcealed affection for all to see. “Wh… Whaaaaa—-!” Aurelia startled and bounced off from Zhu Wushang then quickly turned toward him, clutching her right ear, her face flushed red, and her expression was like a shy high school girl. “Can you be more serious!? You Jerk! We hav
A petite girl around 13-14 in age groggily walks out of the container, her long silky black hair and tan skin are matching with her beautiful and innocent face, but that face is full of drowsiness as if she just woke up from a good night's sleep.The only thing that could tell her apart from normal people was her black sclera which is commonly seen in the powerful evolved infected.“Mmm…? Daddy? Where are you? Have we arrived in Alexandria? You told me I only need to stay in this iron room until we reach Alexandria.” The girl spoke adorably while looking around, trying to find her father.As for Aurelia, the moment she saw that adorable and innocent face she felt like something had hit her. This adorable and innocent little girl was always staying inside that container that she wanted to destroy. If she were to proceed with what she thought at first, isn’t that equal to burning this girl alive in the process?In her eyes, even if this girl was infected. Her appearance was no more than
What Zhu Wushang said quickly brought flustered Aurelia to return to the current situation.“Yes… That’s right… She looks like an innocent child…. wait…. a child?” Aurelia slowly thought of the word child as she tried to recall something but she wasn't quite there yet.Then, a voice that brought the answer she was looking for sounded out from behind her.“Oh! you’re here, there’s something I need to talk to you about. It’s important!” A familiar voice sounded out from behind Aurelia and Zhu Wushang.Arman entered the control room without permission as there was no one guarding the door outside because The Black Merchant alone was enough to stop even a psychopath in power armor. Which is, of course, Arman got stopped with only an unfriendly glance by The Black Merchant.“Say, King Arman of Persia. The prime minister had said that girl was your fiance. Is it true?” Zhu Wushang asks, then looking at adorable Amira who’s still enjoying her conversation with her father.Arman didn’t think
Amira’s cute big eyes blink for a while as she tries to understand her father's words.“Eeeeeh? Why do these uncles want to check on me? Am I not healthy enough? Is it because I don’t want to drink milk?” Amira adorably asks before she jumps up to the iron cable near the glass wall of the second-floor observation room.This action of her spooked the guards in the observation room. They quickly aim their rifle at her.“No!” Cyrus immediately stood up and used his body to shield his daughter from the guards' guns.Suddenly all of the guns in the guard's hand had become all kinds of toys, stuffed animals, fruit-shaped pillows, and even rainbow candies.The scene in front of their eyes startled both the guards and Cyrus, While Cyrus tried to protect Amira from the guards that got their guns to turn into all kinds of toys and candies, Amira are trying to see what had happened and saw all kinds of toys and candies that spilled from the guard hand that drop to the ground.“Oooh? Uncle, was t
“Amira!” Cyrus quickly hugged Amira with all his heart, he hugged her hard as if afraid that she would disappear into thin air at any moment. The pure tear of gratitude without any acting leaked out of his eyes.“Daddy, it hurts…” Amira complained.His daughter's complaint made Cyrus regain his wits; he slowly released Amira but still held Amira's shoulder with care.“Is… is she cured? Is she safe?” Cyrus asked as he raised his head to look at Zhu Wushang.Zhu Wushang, who was scratching his head waiting for the moment between father-daughter to end, stopped his hand and answered.“Safe? In what way? If you mean she is safe from the Virus or whatever inside her body. Of course, she is. It remade her after all. If you mean if she is safe to go outside without spreading the Virus to the environment, that is also Yes.”“What do you mean by saying that “it remade her”?” Cyrus asked again.This time, Zhu Wushang looked around and didn’t immediately answer. He saw both Aurelia and The Black
Cyrus looks at Aurelia and then quickly nods, Full cooperation is the best he could do right now in order to pay this couple favors back.“Thank you. Then, please take care of her.” Said Cyrus then stood up and wanted to go to Aurelia's room but then Aurelia stopped him.“Oh… I’ll call her for you.” Aurelia then went to call AmiraAfter Aurelia called Amira out of her room and told her about their decision to let her stay here for the time being she was both excited but also sad at the same time. In the end, she chose to stay here with Aurelia.While Amira is playing with Aurelia, Zhu Wushang and The Black Merchant volunteer to send Cyrus to go his room where Aurelia had told someone to prepare for him.Halfway there Zhu Wushang stopped and the Black Merchant was also stopped the same as his master.“What’s wrong? Mr.Zhu,” Cyrus asks with a bit of wariness displayed on his face.Zhu Wushang didn’t say anything. He put his hand inside his duster coat for a few seconds and bring out a j
After Zhu Wushang had closed the door and entered the room. What startled him was Aurelia who should have slept in her room along with Amira was standing in the guest room looking in his direction with a poker face.Zhu Wushang suddenly felt a little nervous as he didn’t know what Aurelia was thinking. Does she hear what they’re talking about in front of the door? Has she heard that insult? These are the thoughts that are going through Zhu Wushang's brain.It’s not that he can’t detect Aurelia through his spiritual sense, he could detect her but last time he checked she was staying in her room. Busy with her notebook, but since his spiritual sense can’t detect what’s going on in the notebook, that’s why he didn’t know that Aurelia was observing him and Arman and knew everything that had happened.Suddenly, The figure of the girl in front leaped toward him without saying anything. She then hugged him with all her heart.Even after a few moments had passed she was still hugging Zhu Wush
Then… he thinks about what he really wants. He just wants to right all the wrong he did and wash away all the regret he kept… He didn’t want any power or to dominate anyone.Then he thought about what Romulus had said. His suit is the reason why all the powerful beings can’t detect his presence. Doesn’t this mean… he wants to sneak in here? That must be it! The reason why he wants to meet with Aurelia is that he wants her to check on his suit if there’s anything wrong with it, as he had met this Romulus once after the Apocalypse hit, and that led to his deep regret and a dark secret.“Can…. Can I ask you what you plan to do next?” Arman asks with a smile as he tries his best to suppress the fear that has become his second instinct.Hearing that Romulus laughed out loud and began his ambitious speech.“Ha ha ha ha, You asking a stupid question! Isn’t that obvious!? I will conquer this place just like my greatest ancestor Gaius Julius Caesar did! Then after I turn all of these ants int
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
