Chapter 93: 4.31 Third Blue Star – Not human
Gui Lan and the rest of the team enjoyed the short moments before the final day. On this day they would implement the plan to destroy the core of all madness in this world. The Inferno Syndicate. This organization is an evil one who treats human lives as experiments. He created man made espers and hypnotized those to look at normal people as someone lower than they are. They wanted to take control of the authority of not just this country but of the whole world. At the beginning they’ve increased the crime rate by a few folds and wanted to scare the normals about the difference of an espers to a normal person.
They would have been successful if not for the SID unit existing. With the backing of the Prime Minister itself the newly made unit composed of normals and espers working together had controlled the crime rate stabilizing it at an acceptable rating. The relationship between the espers and normals haven’t completely gone bad. With Yi Zheng’s protagonist halo these kinds of things were easily solved even when he was on his own thought every case took longer to solve than when he got the help of Gui Lan.
At dawn the preparation to surround the estate of the president has been done. The rest were just waiting for the leaders to give the command. Xie Ye took the lead together with Yi Zheng and Xu Lun. They’ve led a vanguard team into the palace of the president while Professor Sen, Li Xing and Yun Li at the rear for support. Ke Lou, Lin Ye and people of the Gui Clan were at the borderline to separate the normals near the vicinity.
Xie Ye led the team and entered the palace capturing those who surrendered and killing those who didn’t. He let Yi Zheng and Xu Lun focus on raiding the whole place while he looked for the President’s office to look for that man who caused him to be separated from Gui Lan for 15 years.
“A’Yi, A’Xu, divide into two groups and clean up the palace. I will look for their head.” said Xie Ye.
“Be careful, dage.” said Yi Zheng.
“What about the president, Boss?” asked Xu Lun.
Xie Ye replied, “Capture him and gather all necessary proof to condemn him. I will leave him to father-in-all after this raid.”
“Father-in-all? The minister agreed to A’Lan and dage’s relationship!” said Yi Zheng.
“Did A’Lan agree?” Xu Lun asked the most important question.
Xie Ye smiled when he heard what Xu Lun asked, apparently Gui Lan agreed to it. Yi Zheng and Xu Lun sighed in relief seeing this. Only when Gui Lan agreed that there should be no other problem afterwards. At least a problem that will come from the Gui Clan will never happen.
“Congratulations!” The two said.
“Father-in-all and the elders will make the preparation for the wedding. I and Lan’er decided to go abroad for honeymoon if you guys are coming clean up your schedules yourselves. I’ll be going now.” said Xie Ye as he separate from the group to look for the mastermind. His smile disappeared as soon as he got separated from the group.
Yi Zheng and Xu Lun divided the rest of the team to do their orders.
——
Meanwhile in the sky,
Gui Lan watched from above observing the whole scene at wide range. He would support the three teams if needed. This is Xie Ye’s request. His lover wanted to kill that man from 15 years ago.
“Yue, are you sure that destroyer is in the president’s office?”
[I am sure, host. But there is something wrong with his aura.]
“Is that so? Yue go and support A’Ye since he knows your existence the Heavenly Laws wouldn’t care about the restriction on him as the punishment was already bestowed on me.”
[But host I cannot leave your side. I am your system.]
“I might be your host but now that I am giving you orders to support your lord. In the first place my existence is never under your jurisdiction. Just go Yue.” said Gui Lan.
[I… sigh~ Understood, host. I will leave the skill card: Limit Breaker in your possession instead.] System Yue left to offer his service to his lord as his host orders.
The moment System Yue had left his side, Gui Lan’s expression became devoid of emotions and feeling. There is only cold calmness and aloofness. Like nothing was worthy for him to lay his eyes upon. He didn’t even move his head as he speaks in an austere manner.
“Come out. I even personally send away my little moon to cater your nonsense.”
Behind Gui Lan a man in pure black robes appeared. His hair is untied, pure black hair flowing behind him. His green eyes were looking at Gui Lan with adornment and high regards. This man obviously knew Gui Lan’s real identity. The man instantly fell on one knee as he greeted Gui Lan.
“Please accept my greetings, esteemed Young Prince Hei. This one is called Hei Wanyu from the Hei Clan.”
“Hei Clan? Why would the clan that chose to banished my father be the one to approach me without fear of death? Do you think this Lord would not kill you?” said Gui Lan as he twisted his body to look at Hei Wanyu’s angle. His formerly teal colored irises now have the hue of moonlight, argent coldness and detachment.
In that split moment Hei Wanyu’s whole being felt the pain of being ripped apart even his internal organs weren’t spared and one by one exploded inside him.
‘It’s him! It’s really him! Fuck! I’m going to die. I’m really going to fucking die! He even has precise control over his powers as he only used the pressure only on him alone not even a hint of aura spills in this little star. Shit! I don’t want to die! I need to report this person’s existence to master. He is extremely dangerous.’
“Thinking of escaping? In front of me, are you sure of that?” said Gui Lan as he took complete control of the space around Hei Wanyu, preventing not even a hint of his soul to escape his grasp.
Hei Wanyu in a state of stupefaction said, “Y-You can control space elements? Didn’t they say you can only use Ice and Blood!?”
Gui Lan gave him a mocking smile, “I wonder who was the fool who told you such incomplete information. Ice is the main element of my Mo Bloodline. Blood from the Hei and Space is my second main after Ice. I will have a private talk to you later for now. You have to sleep until I tell you to wake up.”
The last sentence of Gui Lan was done using his authority ability at full force. Even a Mythical God like Hei Wanyu could never disobey.
In his stupor Hei Wanyu saw those legendary silver eyes, only those of direct bloodline of Hei Clan could possess.
‘Those argent orbs… hah~ It’s really beautiful like… that person‘s eyes…’
After Hei Wanyu entered a deep slumber state as Gui Lan commanded. He threw the man in his personal domain. It is a private space that only he could control. As soon as the space rift that connects to his domain disappears Gui Lan coughs a mouthful of blood. This time is needed for hands to bear it. He used an ice element to freeze the blood and let it turn to a blood mist to disperse it. After cleaning himself up Gui Lan continues to watch his lover who was about to reach the president’s office. The whole event wasn’t noticed by anyone else even the Heavenly laws of this world as he prevented everyone to do so. This is also the reason why he used his real cultivation as a Celestial God. Because he wanted to capture Hei Wanyu.
“I guess using my real cultivation with this state is indeed too much. I wonder how many years could I stay with you in this world? At least I had captured someone who might give me the lead of why you are being targeted. You just need to focus on healing. I will collect your soul fragments and block all your enemies for you, A’Xia.” murmured Gui Lan only the wind is able to hear his words as the skill card on his hand which his system passed to him had turned to ashes upon activation duration finished.
——
Back to the Palace,
Xie Ye finally reached the office of the President but before he could open the door he looked somewhere above him with puzzlement in his eyes.
[Sire Xie Ye what’s wrong?] System Yue calls him by his name instead of his title as Ye Xiajie’s soul hasn’t completely awake yet.
“Are you sure that Lan’er is okay alone?” asked Xie Ye.
[The host is stronger than you think. Please worry about yourself instead Sire Xie. Your opponent is an outsider that is considered as God in this world.]
“I know. I will still kill him even if he is a God.” responded Xie Ye.
[Be careful in front of you!]
But the moment Xie Ye opened the door something huge jumped towards his direction pushing out of the palace with him even destroying the wall behind him due the force coming from before him. He covered himself with Ice barrier to prevent being hurt by the debris of broken things behind him. Xie Ye couldn’t see the figure before him because of dust and rubbles.
Xie Ye was pushed out until he was outside the palace. Before he got thrown completely he had already informed the people outside to give a huge space for him and the thing they considered as an enemy. Gui Lan who was watching the whole scene had issued the order of retreat as well even before Xie Ye does.
Thankfully Yi Zheng and Xu Lun who heard the warning had gone out of the palace before it totally collapsed. Xie Ye who was thrown outside had already supported himself before he hit the ground. He used his arms as leverage to flip backwards as he created a distance away from the enemy.
Yi Zheng, “DAGE!?”
Xu Lun, “Boss!!”
“Spread! Prepare for battle!” ordered Xie Ye.
“What is this thing? It seems huge.” said Li Xing.
Yun Li responded, “I don’t think it’s human at all.”
The people in the audience didn’t even notice that the sun was slowly turning black and the sky is turning dark. They’ve all waited for the dust and rubbles to lessen. But everyone could see a mountain-like figure buried in dirt and dust quivering as if removing the sand on him. As the figure was revealed everyone in the area was shocked. Before them is a beast with the size as tall of a 4 floor building. Large claws and sharp teeth. long fur with a similar figure of a dog. The thing before them is obviously a huge wolf like monster, but their surprise didn’t end with just that because the beast suddenly…
“Humans~ you can only blame yourselves for bringing out my existence to your life~”
The huge beast suddenly talks like a human, leaving everyone speechless in shock, fear and disbelief.
“What the hell is this thing?” asked Xie Ye.
[It’s a Tiangou. It has a lot of names but it’s most common name is Sky Wolf. It’s a black dog which caused eclipses by trying to eat the sun and moon. A heavenly beast which reached ascension to become a mythical being.]
