Eternal Thief

Chapter 917 Sixth Heavenly Punishment

The area of the three forbidden countries was peaceful as many patrolling ships were garrisoned around the vortex, which was the entrance to the Trinity Alliance Mountain Realm. 

Furthermore, the security around this place had become quite steep in the past months, and geniuses from the Devil, Demon, and Hunter races come here every month to enter the secret realm. 

However, today, out of nowhere, jet black clouds started to gather in the misty sky and spread in over 200 hundred miles radius within a few moments, and a dreadful pressure started to spread.

The entire vortex and almost the three forbidden countries were covered with these clouds, and the pressure alarmed everyone in that place. Especially the overseers of the three forbidden counties! 

But before anyone could figure out what was happening, multicolor thunder began to churn in the jet-black clouds, and powerful thunderclaps began reverberating that could be heard all the way back to the royal lands! 

The next moment, a vortex eye was formed within the clouds, and it was right above the entrance of the secret realm, and four-color thunder started to gather within, illuminating the dark surroundings in blue, red, green, and yellow color.

”Boommm…” 

A mighty thunderclap rang, breaking the sound barrier, and a massively thick four-color thunder beam descended on the vortex below, piercing through the very fabric of space!

At this moment, the secret realm was calm except for the All Devil city because of a particular thief they couldnʼt find no matter what they did. 

In the hidden underground area of the Blood Devil Clan, the strongest clan in the city. A figure of a burly blood devil stood in front of a giant orange door as he looked at it with shining eyes. 

”Those fools wonʼt even suspect me just because Iʼm the son of their lord.” The devil couldnʼt help but sneer. 

The devil has an esteemed identity as the first son of the Blood Devil Lord and the next successor to the seat, so no one obstructs his path when he wants to claim some treasuries from the clanʼs treasury. 

But what no has imagined that their young devil lord was in control of the same thief they were searching for like bloody hounds, Myriad Thieving Fox!

Winter was far away from the city, completely safe as she was grinning evilly while she controlled the young devil lord to open the treasury and started to store everything away!

”How easy. I wonder where that hateful leader of mine ran off to. Hmph, he better repay me for attracting the attention of everyone.” She muttered with a scoff, ”With this, Iʼll clear this mission and get new items in the shop… What is this?” 

She suddenly felt alarmed when she sensed a horrendous aura suddenly enveloped the entire realm, and she instantly vanished from her spot and appeared in the open. 

At this moment, she witnessed a harrowing scene of the calm sky splitting apart, and a four-color beam descended towards the central area between three mountains, shaking the entire realm!

”What the hell is that!” She felt a primitive fear enveloping her heart as she gawked at the beam despite being far away from it. It was her first time witnessing something like this. 

However, something even more unimaginable happened next. The entire realm started to experience cracks in space as an image of the blue ocean started to overlap with it. 

At this moment, a panel flashed in front of Winter.

If it was any other time, she wouldʼve been thrilled to see this notification and already have jumped to check the shop. But right now, seeing the apocalyptic scene in front of her, she wanted to get as far away from here as possible. 

But that aura releasing from that beam and the pressure that suddenly started to envelop her as the realm was being destroyed made her feel terribly helpless. 

So, she quickly made a call as it was now open again, and she had a feeling that this person was also most likely behind this and wanted to criticize him for not warning her prior to this. 

At this moment, Ace stood on the top of the demon mountain as he watched the bottomless pit left behind by the four-color beam, and he was the closest when it all happened. 

His eyes shimmered with astonishment as he never expected the realm to be destroyed so quickly after he activated the heavenly punishment. Now, it was going to merge back to the mortal sky heaven. 

ʼSo, thatʼs whatʼs happened when you activate the heavenly punishment in this confined space. It simply canʼt be stopped, huh?ʼ Ace thought without any panic or pity for those people present in this place because after finding everything, he knew they deserved this. 

They had enjoyed all those benefits that they plundered from others for too long, and this was retribution, for he was doing the same to them. As the realm was getting merged back, the systemʼs voice rang.

Ace merely scoffed at it as he was filled with boundless determination and confidence like never before. 

At this moment, another notification rang, which was actually a house call from Winter. 

His eyes widened briefly before he smiled, ʼShe mustʼve cleared the mission already. Well, thatʼs good.ʼ 

Ace picked it up, and before he could congratulate her, Winterʼs rageful voice with a hint of fear buzzed in his mind, ”Out with it! What the hell did you do this time?”
