Chapter 5 How It Came to Be

Author: Lil Thorny Flower
Queenie sighed again and looked at Nox. "Fine. You're hot, so I'll finish what I started. No matter what happens, I'm taking you back to town, and then it's straight to the hospital.

"See if we can get your memory back. And please explain everything to my family if you do," Queenie said.

"I'm going to pack my stuff and make preparations to return to the city. You watch some TV or whatever. Don't run around, and don't touch my stuff." Queenie turned on the TV for Nox.

Nox nodded dumbly and turned to the TV. It was airing the Battle of the Ten Nations, specifically the part where the Ocean of Death was concerned.

Black smoke billowed from the fleet of battleships, and countless aircraft were swirling around overhead.

Amidst the smoke and screams of war, the warriors of Faeast were fending off the invaders from the ten nations.

The moment Nox saw that, his mind went blank, and then pain shot up once more, only to be followed by a stream of memories.

'Lord Nox. That's me, Nox Greenshade. I'm Faeast's god of war. The ten nations started a war because I became the unparalleled Legend, and I'm not even thirty years old.

'I'm the bane of their existence. I'm the ten nations' nightmare. To kill me, they sent a million powerful warriors and thirteen of their best guardians—top Legends."

Nox continued to recall, 'I fought their whole army alone and took down seven Gods in battle, but I was defeated. All because of Aphrodite Mousse, the woman I loved the most.'

'No one expected her to poison me on the night before the end of the war, and she went all out. She used the Kirin Firepoison, the strongest poison in the world.

'The firepoison attacked my heart, and the ten nations' warriors attacked me. It was on the Ocean of Death I was defeated, and I was thrown into the waters. It was from that moment on, Faeast’s god of war fell.'

The memories finally stopped coming, but hatred and rage filled Nox up. He was like a volcano, almost erupting into disaster. Nox finally knew who he was.

'Why did you betray me, Aphrodite? Why did you poison me?' The memory of Aphrodite tore Nox's heart asunder, the flames of fury almost engulfing him like a beast.

Still, his sanity took hold in the end. The Mousse family was the biggest family in Faeast, and they were the top of Faeast's Ancient Four.

They had enough wealth to run a country, but more than that, their family had an army of powerful warriors.

Just then, another surge of pain washed over Nox. This time, it came from his heart, and the pain felt searing, like flames licking his insides.

"Shit. The Kirin Firepoison."

Feeling the poison erupting in his body, Nox quickly circulated his inner energy across his entire body to keep the poison down.

About a minute later, he finally suppressed it, though only barely. "It seems that the poison is not going away anytime soon. I'll have to lay low for now. Before I'm cured from the poison, I cannot expose myself."

Suddenly, Nox remembered the lady who saved him from the ocean. "Amnesiac, huh? It's a decent plan. Since she thinks I've lost my memories, I'll tag along for now. Besides, her family thinks she slept with a total stranger because of me."

Nox made up his mind. Faeast's god of war would be an amnesiac from this moment on.

    A few minutes later, Queenie was done packing. She came out of the room while Nox was still standing in the living room, acting like he was an amnesiac."Let's go, amnesiac." Queenie picked up her suitcase and left the house without looking at Nox. She muttered, "This is all your fault. My family wouldn't have thought I was a… Now, how should I explain myself?"Queenie sighed. She came to a white Mini parked outside the house and placed her suitcase in the trunk. "Get in," she said.Nox grunted and got into the car. It was pink inside and smelled nice.Queenie got in a moment later. "It's your lucky day. You're the first man to grace my car."Nox secretly chuckled, but he said nothing."We should get back to the city now." Queenie revved up the car and drove away. On the way back, she listened to the radio while Nox closed his eyes and ran his inner energy around his body to heal himself up.Queenie would sometimes steal a glance at Nox. He had a handsome face, twinkling eyes,

    When Nox saw the smoke and noticed the scent of something charred coming from the circuit board, he knew what was going on. Being the one and only Lord Nox, a broken-down car was nothing to him.He quickly went to the trunk and whipped out a wrench. Nox then quickly turned the screws on the engine, trying to open the lid.Queenie was still making a call when she saw Nox fiddling with her car. A momentary pause later, she trotted up to Nox. "What are you doing?" Queenie watched Nox in surprise as he took off the engine's lid.Nox said nothing. He was going unscrewing the screws and checking the circuit."Wait. Are you trying to repair my car?" Queenie asked curiously.Nox said nothing and kept going on with the repairs. About two minutes later, Nox finally connected the broken wire. "Done."Queenie was flabbergasted. She stared at Nox in disbelief. "You're done? That was fast. You sure that's right?"Nox grunted. Queenie had more questions, one of them being why an amnesiac knew

    While Nox was watching the motorcade in reminiscence, Queenie watched him. "Hey, what are you looking at?"Nox quickly turned around. "Nothing.""You were enthralled, though. Why?" Queenie asked.A smile played on Nox's lips. "Maybe because they feel familiar.""They feel familiar? You're an amnesiac. There's nothing to feel familiar with, especially not with cars from Draco. Wait. Were you a soldier?" asked Queenie.Nox was speechless again. He thought, 'A soldier? I was more than that.'Since Nox was quiet, Queenie smiled. "Don't worry about it. I bet you were a mechanic. When we get back to town, I'll take you to a big hospital. They'll help you get your memories back. I'll be cashing in on that favor when my car breaks down."Hearing that, Nox smiled dryly. Three hours later, Queenie and Nox finally came back to Riverton, a city filled with skyscrapers. Nox looked around, but he kept his silence.After she came back to the city, Queenie got a call from Lara. "Where are you,

    After the call with her friend, Queenie took Nox back to Pearl Residence. She rented this place. Ever since Queenie was a child, her family had always ostracized her. She had moved out of her family's place and got a home of her own when she was rather young."Finally home." Queenie parked her car in front of a mansion after entering the neighborhood and got out.Nox followed her. He looked at the mansion and thought it wasn't half-bad."Listen up, amnesiac. I've never let a man into my house so far, so don't run around, you hear?"Nox nodded with a smile. Queenie picked up her luggage and took Nox back into the mansion. The moment the electronic door swung open, a great big silhouette lunged at Queenie.Alarmed, Nox was going to attack, but Queenie hugged the silhouette. Happily, she said, "Blackshark, I'm back!"The thing Queenie was holding was a black dog—a large one at that, and with sharp teeth manning its maw. No, it was no mere dog. It was a black mastiff. The mastiff rub

    Nox stood at the doorway, smiling at the mastiff. The world claimed it was the strongest dog in the world when it came to aggression.The mastiff growled, glaring at Nox darkly. It would pounce on him at any moment, but Nox was unfazed. He narrowed his eyes, and an invisible aura burst forth from his body.This caused the room to shake, and then the big dog started shivering. It slowly backed off as if it was terrified."Don't be scared, little guy. I won't hurt you." Nox approached the terrified mastiff with a smile.The mastiff quickly went down on all fours, shivering. It couldn't even hold its head up. Nox patted its head. "Let's go for a stroll."Just like that, a man and his dog walked out of the room.…Queenie came out of her shower wearing a pink tracksuit. She thought Nox would still be around, but he was nowhere to be found. "Where did he go? Oh God, don't tell me he's run off."Nox lost his memories, and he had just come to this place. Queenie darted out of the hous

    A row of burly bodyguards in suits got out of the four cars, following Silas Joshton, heir to Centersea Corporation. He looked at the mansion darkly and told his men, "All of you, stay put."He strode to the door and rang the doorbell. Queenie thought it was her friend who came. "Lar—" Quickly, she opened the door, but what she saw petrified her. It was her fiance instead of her friend standing outside. "S-Silas?" Queenie stuttered.Silas looked at Queenie and sneered. "Surprised to see me, Ms. Sanders?"Queenie had no idea what to say.He continued, "Our wedding is in two days, Ms. Sanders. I'm your fiance. At least invite me into your house."This was awkward. Silas might be her fiance, but Nox was still in her house. She quickly said, "I'd love to, but it's not a great time right now."A dark smile curled Silas' lips. "Not a great time? Are you hiding a lover inside, perhaps?"Silas barged into the house. Queenie tried to stop him, but she didn't have the strength. Silas successfull

    Nox held Silas' arm in a vice grip. Inscrutable, he said, "Touch her, and I will kill you.""What did you say?" Silas laughed mirthlessly. "Who the fuck do you think you are? Talk to me like that, an—"He never finished the sentence. Nox flung his arm, and Silas was sent flying back, a stream of blood arcing through the air. He slammed into the door and made a hole in it. Then, he fell with a thud.Queenie was shocked, and so were Silas' bodyguards. The bodyguards quickly snapped out of it and held up their bloodied employer. "Mr. Joshton!"Silas' chin was covered in blood, his face contorted in pain. After he got up, he wiped the blood off his lips and roared, "You bastard! How dare you hit me? Guards, get him! I want that cur dead!"Silas' bodyguards charged into the house, but then bangs and crashes echoed in the air. Barely ten seconds had passed since the bodyguards went into the house, and they were sent flying back out, howling in agony.All of them were injured—they eithe

    Once again, Queenie's father misunderstood the whole thing, so Queenie could only try to explain herself. "No, Dad, listen to me. I didn't do—""You're still trying to explain yourself? Do you know no shame? Tell me, then. Who is this man? Why was he at the beach with you, and why is he at your home now?" George pointed at Nox angrily.Queenie had no idea how to explain this."Listen here, girl. Your mother got so mad last night she fainted twice! And because of you, Centersea has cut off all partnerships with us!"If you still want to be part of the family, you're coming home with me. If you stay with this bastard, you'll never be allowed back in the family again!"George stormed off after screaming at Queenie, who was now at a loss. She turned around and looked at Nox, but in the end, she tearfully got ready to leave.Nox finally spoke. "Hold on."The mere voice of Nox fueled the Sanderses' fury, and they swiveled around, their faces contorted with rage.George felt enraged at the si

    "That's right! We must severely punish these traitors once Master Zeller kills this group of Faeastians!" a group of elites cursed in unison. As they spoke, a near-rabid desire surfaced in their scarlet eyes.Up to this very moment, they were still thinking of eliminating the insiders. After all, only after getting rid of the insiders could they easily conduct restructuring and divide their shares of power again.Presently, politicians from the neighboring nations also informed everyone that their country's fleet was on their way and would arrive shortly to provide assistance."Damn these Faeastians! We can't spare them like this! Let's kill them and refine violent energy using their spirits!""Agree! These guys are so powerful, so refining violent energy with their souls definitely will be a great supplement for us!"Once again, one by one, the eyes of these elites turned rapacious as they gazed at the gradually approaching group of people like a group of hungry hyenas staring at

    The group crossed the battlefield and arrived at a resort built on the island. Everywhere they looked, luxury cars filled the place, and grand mansions lined the area.At the center of these private residences stood their target. The air was thick with violent energy, and dark clouds loomed ominously above. The moment Cassian arrived, he could sense the presence of vengeful spirits."There were many innocent lives that died here," Cassian said to Nox. "That's strange. Why didn't that cultivator cleanse this place when he had such huge power?"Nox thought for a moment before replying, "Perhaps leaving these vengeful spirits here is part of their plan too."Cassian took in a sharp breath as he realized what Nox was implying."If my guess is correct, this person is deliberately feeding the spirits to sustain the elites. While it may grant them eternal youth and extend their lifespans, the cost is that they will become inhumane. What a cruel method. He enslaved the elites, allowing hi

    As Nox and Cassian exchanged glances, they both got the same idea."It looks like that mastermind is an evil cultivator.""There are many sinister cultivation techniques that can grant ordinary people eternal youth, immortality, or even cultivation. However, such things are not obtained out of thin air. They are stolen from the others. During the internal turmoil in Faeast, evil cultivators were everywhere. It took me, Sariel, and Magic Mountain a huge effort to get rid of most of them. When they were unable to find a foothold in Faeast, they fled to Southsea."Nox added, "Even so, they continued to target Faeast, wreaking havoc along the coastal regions. The situation grew so dire that His Majesty had to personally deal with them. After I took over, I utilized Vermilion Bird's intelligence network to eliminate almost all of the evil cultivators. It seems that the surviving ones have fled even further to cause trouble."Faeast was a righteous country, so there was no room for evil

    Just like that, an entire army was completely wiped out by two people! Moreover, the duo didn't seem to be using any effort either.This was a massacre.Nox toyed with the artifact in his hand. The palm-sized, black object caused the temperature of the island to drop, yet Nox didn't seem to be affected at all.However, the commander was almost frozen to death.Cassian walked over and took the artifact from Nox's hand. After examining it closely, he frowned and said, "This is the legendary Black Ice Stone, a thing that had long been thought to be extinct.""Indeed. This is remarkable. Without the use of any technique, it can disrupt one's senses just by placing it on the ground. Once it comes into contact with positive energy, it'll release Yin energy. What a fascinating item," said Nox."True. It's a pity that it can't be combined with other materials though. Otherwise, it could have been a sacred artifact." Cassian nodded.Nox shook his head in exasperation. "Even if it could b

    The enemy commander waved his hand to give an order.In that split second, dozens of men raised their swords and charged toward Nox.Cassian was too intimidating to them, and he would wipe out the entire army by himself. Thus, they decided to capture Nox in order to threaten Cassian."Raise your hands and surrender immediately!" the enemy commander said in broken Faeastian.However, what unsettled the enemy commander was that neither Cassian nor the group of spectators in the distance seemed to care about Nox's current situation.Seeing that Nox didn't respond, one of the enemy leaders shouted, "Why are you not moving? Are you scared? I told you to raise your hands and surrender now!"Nox tilted his head and glanced at him with disdain. Then, he slowly raised one of his hands."Are you deaf? I said two hands!" the enemy leader roared.`Buzz!At that moment, an invisible force swept through everyone, causing hundreds of people to be lifted into the air over three thousand fee

    Nineve was shocked, but Aphrodite was used to it. "He rose to fame during the latest crisis of Faeast. You have to be crueler than everyone else if you want to live during that era," she said.It was a dog-eat-dog world back then, and every cultivator was a beast. The team eventually arrived at the spot, and the Marines were already interrogating the captives."Milord, these are units from the coastal nations nearby. They're not to be underestimated," a soldier reported to Nox. Even if these people were not remnants of the Three-Eyed Clan, this was still a national issue.The soldiers tried to ask the captives about the Three-Eyed Clan, but they knew nothing about it. Nox said, "Don't waste your time. They're not big enough to know that kind of intel.""What should we do with these people?" The Marines wondered if they should take the captives back to the ship. Cassian used his soul technique to check the captives' memories and killed them all."Yeah, they might be official units,

    Anything that caught Nox's eye was no ordinary item. Cassian and his team of soldiers had gotten a few sacks of herbs themselves. "Hey, these are expensive herbs, and they're everywhere. Wonder if the real treasure's at the center of the violent energy, just like in Celestial Domain," said Cassian curiously."I told you the formation is just a fraction of the real deal, Grandpa. If this place does have rare herbs everywhere, they'd be harvested a long time ago. The mystery guy isn't using them because he doesn't have to. At some point, elixirs do nothing for a cultivator, let alone herbs," said Nox.Cassian got the message. "I see. Everyone says the guy's hiding in this place, but he's actually trapped. He's waiting for the day he gets a breakthrough." Cassian narrowed his eyes. Anything that had ties to the Three-Eyed Clan must be culled.The soldiers found signs of people living here a while later, and the Marines were on high alert. They went down a path, and the light bouncing o

    All the enemy attacks were stopped by the destroyer's defense system. Meanwhile, the missiles crashed into the enemy ships, and none of them missed. Though the battleships were big, they were ripped in two nonetheless. The smaller ones were blasted into smithereens.All the enemy ships were sunk. Winds howled, and the fires roared. One Faeastian destroyer took down the enemy ships. The explosion of the enemy ships sent off fireworks into the air."Huh, magnificent show. Nice welcome party for me, I'd say." Cassian was watching the burning flames and shattered ships with glee.Queenie and Nineve were stunned. They didn't know Faeast's ships were already this powerful. Aphrodite watched the husks of the enemy ships sink."We are no longer a nation where foreigners can attack whenever they want. We are one of the top countries in the world. We used to think things were hard for Faeast and took a step back every time we had to because the whole world was our enemy."No, the whole worl

    "Who would keep so many ships here? And where'd they come from?" The captain cursed, "Shit. The radar's been acting wonky since we came into these waters."The group had no idea there were so many ships here, but the other team had noticed them a while ago. Their cannons were aimed at the destroyer. Then, the enemy captain spoke through the radio."I command you to surrender immediately, or else!""Surrender?" The Faeast Southern Sea navy would never surrender.Nox asked the captain, "They outnumber and outclass us. What will you do? Maybe surrender?"The captain was furious. "What are you saying, milord? Faeast soldiers never surrender! We either take down the enemy, or we die trying! Surrendering without a fight is humiliating!"Nox laughed. "I knew you would say that. Just leave this to me." He was just cracking a joke. Though the enemy had a lot of ships and firepower, it was useless against him. Just when he was about to attack, the captain came to the deck."Size doesn't m
