I Love Destroying Worlds' Plot

Chapter 1094: 17.21 Fourth Violet Star - In the Spaceship

At some laboratory where Megan Shelley or should I say Zane Linʼs current workplace.

Zane Lin, once the strongest sorcerer in his world, had been so preoccupied with his research on Elemental Energy that he forgot to check on the system he had extracted from his body and hidden somewhere in his room. When he returned one day, he was shocked to find his room in disarray as if a tornado had struck.

He immediately searched for the source of the chaos and found that it led to the corner where he had imprisoned a peculiar entity that had been removed from his current vesselʼs body. The creature had no exact physical form, seeming to be made of an unexplainable energy. As he was still recovering from his weakened state, he had chosen to seal the entity away, never expecting it to escape like this.

Megan Shelley murmured, ”It escaped. But Iʼve put huge restrictions on it so it shouldnʼt have caused too much destruction in this world. The problem is... Itʼs the new chosen host. This parasite gets stronger the more negative energy it gets from its host. Just like the original Megan Shelley. I should try to find it before it causes chaos in this world. I donʼt want to die for the second time after all.”

Each of the students had their own unique circumstances, but eventually, the day of the hunting competition arrived. They were all picked up by a spaceship and taken to a remote star called Planet Terra, which is known for its wild agriculture and is used as a training ground for soldiers. The planet was patrolled by warriors who had already eliminated any Zergs above B rank. However, there were still low and mid-level zergs present, making it an ideal location for training. The students were allowed to bring their own weapons, equipment, and mecha as long as they fell within the guidelines provided for the competition.

The players of this event are tasked to stay on this planet for one whole week. Their hunted prey would be counted by their terminals. Only the score as a group will be displayed on a holographic screen attached to one of the largest spacecraft among the entourage of military troops.

This kind of event is their greatest opportunity to join the military troop of their dreams. Especially, since the Black Dragon Troop opened their doors for internships. A lot of the students who wanted to become someone on the field wanted to join them so much.

Inside the Spaceship...

Those in groups were housed in one room, while those who were alone were housed in the same room as the other solo event participants. Jace Green is dragging his friend Yara von Chrysalis, who is holding a pot of baby Venus Flytrap lily, through the spaceshipʼs lobby. This is a child who wants to go on an adventure after nearly being dug out by a human and see the outside world with him. The other three teammates of theirs follow after the youngest prince and Yara von Chrysalis.

Jace Green von Imperlian said while holding his lazy friendʼs hand, ”Come on, wake up. The Canteen is this way!”

”Iʼm not really hungry.” Yara von Chrysalis commented.

”That wonʼt do. If you missed a meal it was I who would get punished for it. I have to make sure you have to eat on time or have enough to eat during the event or Uncle will beat me up.” Jace Green von Imperlian said he can recall the warning gaze his Imperial Uncle when he picked him in the Grand Dukeʼs Palace before they left the Imperium Capital Star. If gaze could kill, he would have longed to be buried underground.

Yara von Chrysalis said, ”Donʼt worry. Caesar doesnʼt bite.”

”He only doesnʼt towards you. Are you truly not afraid of him? I mean most people in the capital and even in the Palace are all afraid of him.” Jace Green whispered.

Yara von Chrysalisʼs lips curled up and said, ”He is a very interesting man.”

Sigh~

”Only those who werenʼt afraid of death can approach him, you know.”

”Like I said, he doesnʼt bite~”

”Like hell!”

Their other three teammates laugh at the topic of their conversation. With how casually Yara von Chrysalis responds, no one would believe they were discussing the Grand Marshal. The Grand Marshal appears to be a non-threatening figure in the eyes of this young man. He was just a grumpy and interesting man who would never bore him. Only someone as fearless as Yara von Chrysalis is deserving of such a lunatic.

It was entirely due to him that that insane personʼs mania had been brought under control. The black dragon named Roi adored Yara and would wrap itself around her whenever they met. They had seen it numerous times and had grown accustomed to it. They were almost late because Roi didnʼt want to be separated from Yara this morning and witness the Grand Marshal beating up his own dragon just to let them take Yara away. It was quite a sight.

Jace Green von Imperlian glanced at that weird-shaped plant in his friendʼs pot and asked, ”Why did you bring that plant with you?”

”For protection?” Yara von Chrysalis answered.

Jace Green and his teammates look at each other and at the strange plant that is now eating a small fly moving around it. It stopped moving after chomping on the fly as it caught it. They knew this small thing had to be a mutated plant with intelligence because they remembered being beaten like a sandbag by an Old Pine. From that Forbidden Greenhouse, theyʼve stopped looking down on plants and trees.

The young prince commented, ”Um. It looks stronger plus itʼs carnivorous. Does it grow big?”

”Yes, its mother plant chomped on intruders the other day.” Yara von Chrysalis said.

Jace Green commented, ”Is there still a death-seeking fool in our school? There are rules posted on the door. They could read if they wanted to enter the Greenhouse.”

”Not all are patient enough to follow the rules, thatʼs why they ended up becoming fertilizers.”

”Especially adults. There are times they just donʼt listen.”

”Stop talking about crazy things. Letʼs just eat okay?”

They didnʼt notice the group led by the second prince and Silvan von Rosegard, who were about to leave, but the Rosegard Clanʼs second son did. When he looked at Yara von Chrysalis, his eyes were especially menacing. His hostility was so intense that Yara had to turn around and look them in the eyes. Even though Silvan is staring at them, Yara waves his hands at them. He was waving his hand at his little nephew in particular, which stunned or confused everyone in the room. Only Silvan von Rosegardʼs gaze was filled with hatred.

Seeing his fianceʼs gaze turn to Yara von Imperlian, Christopher Klein von Imperlian deduced that his fiance was already aware of Yaraʼs identity, which explains why his hostility towards the person is excessive. After all, he is the man who rendered him unable to use his healing ability on the Grand Marshal due to Yara. The second prince could simply pull his fiance away from approaching Yara von Chrysalis with such emotion.

The Second Prince said as he forcefully pulled away Silvan von Rosegard out of the canteen with his group, ”Stop! Donʼt you know who is behind him?”

”Let go. Let go of me. It was him, I know he destroyed all my plans.” Silvan von Rosegard said.

The second prince lost his temper as they got out of the canteen and said, ”Enough. Do you think my Imperial Uncle will still care for you? If you harm him, not only you will be punished, but even your whole family will be dragged down to hell with you! Donʼt you know how the Grand Duke is when enraged? Do you want your whole family to be uprooted!?”

Silvan von Rosegard became deafeningly quiet. The second princeʼs words, which involved his family, brought him back to reality. He was most sorry in his previous life to his parents and big brother. He was the one who brought the Rosegard Clan to its knees. Itʼs not like heʼs unaware of the Grand Dukeʼs cruelty. Itʼs just that he knew this man was moving for a reason. As long as one is useful, he will gladly assist; otherwise, you will be ignored. He had made a contract with this person in a previous life and can be trusted.

His hatred and envy almost blinded him rationally until now. It was all thanks to the influence of that so-called system he accepted to parasite on himself.

The second prince asked, ”Have you calmed down?”

Silvan von Rosegard did not respond, but his silence said everything. He knew he couldnʼt endanger his family. After all, he wanted to enter under the Grand Marshalʼs wings to protect them.

Christopher Klein von Imperlian who vowed to be on the same side of his beloved suggested out of nowhere, ”How about you show your talents in this event? Imperial Uncle would definitely watch this event because of him, itʼs not like Imperial Uncle is the only one who needs healing, his soldiers do as well. Your ability is the most powerful when itʼs about compatibility.”

Silvan von Rosegard didnʼt expect the second prince to say this. He thought he would do everything in his power to stop him from joining the side of the Grand Marshal.

”Why... Why arenʼt you stopping me? Arenʼt you supposed to let me stay by your side to help you get the throne?” Silvan von Rosegard questioned.

The Second Prince sighed and poked the forehead of his beloved while saying, ”I told you Iʼve already stepped down from the position of the Heir which is why the Imperial Father agreed to decree our marriage and you have officially become my fiance. Donʼt think too much. I am no longer interested in that stupid crown. Let those who wanted it fight for it as for me, I donʼt want it anymore. This time I will always be on your side.”

Silvan von Rosegard was rendered speechless by Christopher Klein von Imperlianʼs speech.

He had not expected this man to say such things. He was well aware that he had resigned as an heir solely to obtain a decree to legalize their marriage. With the Emperorʼs decree, their marriage cannot be canceled unless the Emperor retracts his words, which is almost impossible to do. Because itʼs the equivalent of the Emperor admitting to everyone that he made a mistake.

The Rosegard Clanʼs second son recalled everything that had happened recently. The second prince, who previously did not have time to spend with him, would always pay him a visit on weekends. He would also drop him off at school and pick him up in the morning. Every day, he provided his meals, and this person, as if he didnʼt have any work, would always spend his time with him. He was the one who would always avoid him and even hide when he was annoyed. He turned a blind eye to everything this man did for himself.

Itʼs just that he was so hurt in his previous life that he canʼt trust anyone except his family. The wound this person has left in his heart is too deep for him to forgive him all of a sudden. Furthermore, that stupid voice in his head would always tempt him to do something bad, such as what he was doing now.

[Donʼt believe this princeʼs nonsense. He is playing with you. Once you show interest in him, he will once again abandon you like before and you will be left behind for the second time.]

Silvan von Rosegard suddenly shouted and everyone thought he was talking to the second prince when in reality he was talking to the voice that entered his head.

”Shut up! What do you know!? Stop talking!”

Everyoneʼs gaze was drawn to him, and Silvan von Rosegard noticed the Second Princeʼs expression change to one of surprise, sadness, and acceptance. Silvan von Rosegard was taken aback by this.

”I... I...” He stuttere,d in shock and disbelief.

The Second Prince controlled his expression right away, showed his usual smile towards him, and said, ”Itʼs okay. Itʼs my fault, I know. Donʼt worry. Iʼm sorry. I need to make some preparations first, why donʼt you... rest in your room for a while? We will gather when the ship has disembarked.”

He wanted to touch Silvan von Rosegardʼs head like he always did, but his hand stopped midair and he put it down as he turned to leave. He even remembered to give his subordinates a few orders before leaving.

”Protect Silvie. You guys can also rest until we arrive at our destination.” The Second Prince said.

Silvan von Rosegard wanted to stop the second prince but his subordinates stopped him. More like they blocked them and even prevented him from approaching their master, the second prince.

”Lord Rosegard, please take a rest. The journey would take days before we reach our destination.”

”I didnʼt...”

Silvan von Rosegard lamented the fact that he couldnʼt explain the existence of the system in his head to his fiancée. It is in their contract not to inform anyone of its existence. He can only leave without saying anything.

The Second Princeʼs subordinates, on the other hand, believe that this young master of the Rosegard Clan is obstinate. They would always see the Second Prince coaxing this person many times only to be treated badly by this man.

”I canʼt believe this. How can His Highness choose such a person as his fiance? I donʼt think it wasnʼt worth it to step down from his heirship for such a kind of person.”

”Watch your mouth. Donʼt let His Highness hear your words or you will get punished. Donʼt you know how much he loves Lord Rosegard?”

”I just think such a selfish man isnʼt worthy of his highness. He is a royalty. Why does he need to humble himself before a Countʼs second son? This person is not even the heir of his family and just a second child with no worth except for being a Mediator.”

”I told you to watch your mouths. Go to the training room and run 10 laps for me. You canʼt gossip behind your masters!”

”Yes, Sir!”
