Chapter 491: Chapter 192: Bestowing Equal Death upon All Beings

Church of Death.

The sky suddenly ripped open, spilling forth blazing flames that flowed downwards like a river, instantly igniting several mounds as they touched the earth.

Xi Mu emerged from the midst, gazing towards the distant headquarters of the Church of Death, flames leaking from his teeth.

"Lord Ahetar, you’ve returned!" A surprise cry came as Shark Girl Kaschte soared into the air, flying around Ahetar once:

"You haven’t been hurt in the high heavens, have you?"

"..." Xi Mu raised his hand to touch the head of Shark Girl Kaschte, fully aware of how old she actually was and how cold and ruthless she was to others; however, she was very docile and obedient to him.

Of course, this was only when he stood with the Church of Death.

"The gods mean nothing to me," he withdrew his hand from petting Shark Girl Kaschte’s head, saying calmly:

"I have returned to kill you all..."

"Eh?" Shark Girl Kaschte’s expression froze for a moment, as if doubting whether she had heard correctly, she actually heard from Lord Ahetar’s mouth that he wanted to kill her.

How could that be possible? Not long ago, they were holding a feast together, dreaming of the future after taking control of the world.

"The coming Ragnarok will burn your souls to ashes, so I must kill you all in advance, and entrust your souls to the Witch of Death for safekeeping," Xi Mu stated, "If we prevail against Ragnarok, the Creation Witch will resurrect you; and if we cannot overcome Ragnarok..."

Shark Girl Kaschte fell silent, squeezing a smile on her delicate face, "Then will we step into true death alongside the Goddess of Death?"

"Exactly." Xi Mu’s ruby-like pupils seemed to burn with flame, "Will I take your lives, or will you end them yourselves?"

Shark Girl Kaschte spoke softly, "How much time do we have?"

"About three days," Xi Mu replied, and upon hearing this Shark Girl Kaschte took a deep breath:

"Then we choose to end our lives ourselves."

"I’ll leave it to you." Xi Mu turned away, his back facing Shark Girl Kaschte, "I’m off to cleanse this corrupted world."

"Cleanse the corrupted world?" Shark Girl Kaschte blinked, gazing at the departing figure of Ahetar, somewhat failing to grasp his notion of corruption, though it must hold some deeper meaning.

Shark Girl Kaschte shook her head, setting aside her thoughts, and headed toward the great stronghold of the Church of Death, although she trusted Lord Ahetar completely, such matters still required consultation with the Witch of Death, and afterwards a discussion with the upper echelons of the Church of Death.

Not simply because of a few words would they end their lives rashly.

And moreover, they still had three days’ time, which was already adequate for them to thoroughly ponder and decide whether to entrust their souls to the Witch of Death for preservation.

...

...

Dragon Kingdom.

"Boom!" Towering flames swallowed the territory of the White Dragon clan whole, the blazing fire devouring the bodies of all the dragons, turning them to ash in an instant.

A single strike from the King of Ash was sufficient to incinerate anyone below divinity into ash, and it was under such an apocalyptic blow.

"Ahetar, have you completely lost your humanity?!" The White Dragon King burst out of the engulfing flames, charging towards Ahetar’s direction.

In response, Xi Mu simply lifted a finger calmly, his fingertip dancing with flame, attuned to pierce the White Dragon King’s chest.

Blood sprayed, staining the sky red, the immense dragon form falling towards the earth, plunging into the sea of fire, consumed by the intense flames into ash.

"Humanity, does that have any meaning to me?" He turned to clear out the other dragons, his steps unhindered by any hesitation.

With his capabilities, he could exterminate all the dragons at once, but using excessive power would obliterate the soul, and such was utterly uninteresting – one couldn’t even see the NPC’s reactions, hence he maintained a fitting degree of force.

After all, he temporarily had nothing else to do, still waiting for the Destiny Witch Hecate to emerge from the time rift.

...

...

Sky City.

Palace.

"Ahetar?" Yasiraqi revealed a hint of surprise in her beautiful eyes, looking across at the man clad in silver armor, "What brings you here so unexpectedly?"

Xi Mu responded calmly, "To kill you."

"...May I know the reason?" Yasiraqi fell silent for a moment, then quickly regained her composure as queen.

She maintained her customary confident and composed smile.

"If time is short, you don’t have to explain."

"For a farewell," Xi Mu explained, "You may choose to entrust your soul either to the Witch of Death or the Goddess of Death for safekeeping."

Yasiraqi pondered, then said, "Let’s go with the Witch of Death."

Upon hearing from Ahetar about entrusting her soul for safekeeping, she had deduced the current situation: it must be to prevent Ragnarok from burning away the soul, thus necessitating her prompt handling.

Xi Mu extended his fingertip surrounded by flame, transforming into light that pierced through Yasiraqi’s chest, then raised his hand gently and waved it, directly incinerating the entirety of Sky City.

...

...

Unknown small country.

In a secluded mansion.

Back garden.

"Lord Ahetar, it’s been a long time," the beautiful woman with brown long hair said, setting down her watering can, her face expressing delight, "I thought I would never have the chance to see you again."

"This time, I’ve come to say goodbye," Xi Mu observed the beauty before him; no matter how you looked at it, she was a woman, but in the official game setting, she was truthfully a male character, though her behavior and mannerisms fit the definition of a refined noble lady.
