I Love Destroying Worlds' Plot

Chapter 1244: 18.82 First Grey Star - Chaotic Evening I

In the Tower of Gods...

Watching everything unfold within the tower, Second Prince Xingju and the being in residence observe how Heavenly Guardian Yi Kun received the barbarians as they entered the city and watched them assault the capital city. At first, everything seemed normal, but when they realized that the barbarians would also be attacking the Lu and Mo Clans, things appeared to have taken a turn for the worse.

Second Prince Xingju commented, ”Heavenly Guardian Yi Kun has gone insane! How can he invite that crazy tribe!?”

{Hm~ it seems you will only have one opponent for revenge. I didnʼt expect this chess piece to be too stupid to get someone who is not supposed to be involved in this rebellion.}

Confused, Second Prince Xingju asked, ”What do you mean?” Then he recalled what his father, Wang Xingmo, had said just now. ”Is there something within the Lu and Mo Clan that can contend against you?”

{Of course. Did you really think that I was the only God in this world?}

Second Prince Xingju was stunned. ”For real?”

{Of course. Though you mortals donʼt know they are gods, they possess beyond what you mortals can do. In this world, I can touch almost everyone except for five people. I was going to tell you in the future to immediately prevent extermination from making a move against them. Since itʼs already almost exposed, I will tell you now. Your father seems to know them, though.

I donʼt know how he did, though.}

After a moment of reflection, Second Prince Xingju remembered the Beast Stampede incident from a month prior. He had heard that a single person could stop it on their own, but he was unaware that the King was the one who stopped the information from spreading, meaning that nobody else knew about it except for a few high-ranking officials in the capital.

”For an evil god like you, is it simple to stop a beast stampede on your own? How do you do it?” Second Prince Xingju asked.

{Itʼs simple. Itʼs just a matter of spreading an aura. Suppression due to the difference in strength is enough to handle beasts who move by instinct alone.}

Second Prince Xingju said, ”Aura? Instinct?”

{Ah right. Arenʼt humans also considered beasts in cloth?}

This malevolent god subtly conveys to the second prince that, in the viewpoint of a god, humans, and creatures are the same; they are of lesser existence and are subject to suppression and destruction at will.

{Either way, when fighting for the crown, you shouldnʼt get the Lu and Mo clans involved. Otherwise, you will become like this old man from the Yi Clan. He doesnʼt even know that he is already digging his own grave.}

Second Prince Xingju asked, ”Is there something in those two clans that mustnʼt be moved?”

{Continue watching. Youʼll understand as long as you watch what unfolds.}

Capital City, Territory of the Lu Clan...

Following Ye Jieyeʼs request, the three Heavenly Guardians chose to believe in Chaos, especially after witnessing the two cubs clinging to him after their parents left for work. Ye Jieye himself left instructions for the two children he and Mo Xuejing had left in the care of that strange man using Mo Xuejingʼs original body, called Chaos.

It had been a while since they had gotten together, and Lu Wang, Mu Zang, and Mo Xinyue were enjoying a drink at the main palace of the Lu Clan. They were even going to invite Xian Wu to join them, but they would have assumed he had left the city several days earlier without even telling them.

Heavenly Guardian Lu Wangle asked, ”Is it alright to leave the cubs to that strange one in your clan? I heard that one doesnʼt even listen to you.”

”Why would he listen to me? Have you heard of a god listening to a mortal?” Retorted Mo Xinyue.

Lu Wangle and Mu Zang didnʼt expect to learn that the one using the heir of Mo is a god. It was actually the first time they heard this.

”He is a god!”

”How did you know?”

Heavenly Guardian Mo Xinyue shrugged his shoulders and said, ”He told me himself. Moreover, Jieye and Xuejing agreed to leave our great-grandchildren in his care. Compared to us mortals, arenʼt the cubs safer under the protection of a god? Itʼs not like we are forbidden to visit the cubs.”

”A God. Is he evil like the one in the tower?” Heavenly Guardian Mu Zang asked worriedly.

Heavenly Guardian Lu Wangle frowned. ”Maybe not. If he is, Xiao Ye wouldnʼt have agreed.”

”Anyway, donʼt worry. The cubs would be safest with that lord. I am more worried about that untamed person living in the Aurora Glaciers. If Jieye were pissed, he wouldnʼt roast, wouldnʼt he?” Heavenly Guardian Mo Xinyue asked.

Unexpectedly, Lu Wangle and Mu Zang did not react as though they were seeing the exact scene that Mo Xinyue had just described. As Heavenly Guardians, they have also encountered the Protector of Aurora Glaciers, a conceited divine creature that despises nearly everyone and will not submit unless it is physically defeated.

”Oi. He really wouldnʼt roast it, right?” Mo Xinyue said.

Lu Wangle was practically drooling at the sight, picturing a roasted God-grade ingredient; also, God-grade ingredients are incredibly tasty and greatly enhance a hunterʼs strength. Mo Xinyue struck Lu Wangle after noticing how he drooled at his description of his protector beast being cooked.

Bonk!

Ouch!

”Do you really want to eat it?!”

Heavenly Guardian Lu Wangle said, ”Why canʼt you imagine it? Youʼre the one who said it would be roasted. Roasted snakes are delicious, you know!”

”You old bastard! Iʼll grill your fire lion into a barbeque! Would you be happy to eat it?” Heavenly Guardian Mo Xinyue said.

Heavenly Guardian Mu Zang commented, ”Braised lion heads are more delicious. Moreover, isnʼt it better to stew the snake in such cold weather?” He is talking about the neverending winter in the Aurora Glaciers Zone.

Lu Wangle and Mo Xinyue looked at Mu Zang, who was planning to cook their Protector Beasts-like ingredients. The latter, who realized his source of range, grabbed the black-furred Nightmare Beast sleeping on its head and said, ”Do you think this thing can be eaten?” Mu Zang asked.

”I donʼt think thatʼs edible,” Lu Wangle said.

Mo Xinyue said, ”Youʼre planning on eating it?!”

All of a sudden, the Nightmare Beast woke up and looked around with vigilance in its eyes.

The nightmare beast said, {Something is coming. There are at least a hundred of them.}

This time a small red cat appeared in the room and said to Lu Wangle, {Master, some barbarians sneaked into the capital city!}

”Barbarians!? Impossible. With how big they are, how can they enter the city?” Lu Wangle said.

Mu Zang said, ”Someone must have sneaked them one. One that is greedy for power and wants to destroy the city and make it on his own.”

”Itʼs Yi Kun! That crazy bastard chose to rebel!” Mo Xinyue exclaimed.

Just before they can continue the conversation, a guard from the Lu Clan comes running to the hall they were in.

”Heavenly Guardian Lords. Barbarians had. invaded our clan. According to the scouts, it wasnʼt only us. The center of the city, Gu Clan, and Mo Clan were also being invaded by these barbarians. Most of our hunters had left with the heir; there werenʼt enough people to block those barbarians!”

”Yi Kun wanted to attack all the great clans. Has he gone stupid? Who will protect the danger zone if we are all gone!?” Lu Wangle said.

Mu Zang said, ”He wanted to regain the crown so much that he would get us involved. We donʼt even care about the crown; why would he want us gone?”

”Maybe in the kingdom of his wish, he wanted to be the only symbol of strength. Why would he want us, who are stronger than he is, to exist in the place he wants to rule?” Mo Xinyue said.

Lu Wangle grabbed his weapon and said, ”No time to waste. Regardless of the ending, we must defeat all the barbarians here and head to the Mo Clan.”

”I donʼt know if sending most of our hunters out with the heirs is luck or us being unlucky,” Mo Xinyue said as he also stood up.

The Nightmare Beast spoke, {I will help you, Mu Zang. If something happens to you, the Lord will definitely get angry.}

Mu Zang said, ”Three Heavenly Guardians and two protector beasts. We can only do our best to defeat them with this number.”

”Will the Mo Clan be alright?” Lu Wangle asked.

Mo Xinyue said, ”There are no guards at the mansion, as I brought them all with me. The only ones in the mansion are Lord Chaos and the cubs. But I donʼt think they are in danger; it is us who are.” There is a God living in the Mo Clanʼs Territory.

The human population of the cities is much larger than that of the barbarian tribes, but even the weakest Barbarian could hold the strength of a Joker-ranked hunter, and the only thing standing between a Heavenly Guardian and a Joker-ranked Hunter is their divine mounts and elemental specialization.

Mu Zang said, ”We have no choice but to fight right now.”

The barbarian invasion had begun, and while the neutral faction was being attacked, the small clans under the protection of the royal family were also attacked tonight, completely upending the peaceful event.

The news of the barbariansʼ arrival and the Noble Factionʼs rebellion reached Wang Xingmo in the palace, and he sent some knights to evacuate the citizens in an attempt to save as many lives as possible. However, Wang Xingmo did not send any knights to aid the great clans.

Wang Xingmo, who was sitting on the throne, suddenly spoke in the empty hall. ”Have you found where the Barbarian King is?”

Nameless appeared behind him and responded, ”The scouts find his traces. It seems he is heading into the territory of the Mo Clan with another hundred Barbarian Warriors behind him. Should we send some help?”

”Mo Clan? How about the children of Satan? Are they with the Lu or the Mo Clan?” Wang Xingmo asked.

Nameless answered. ”Mo Clan.”

Wang Xingmo asked, ”What is the movement of the Yi Clan? Have you found out when that stupid son of mine is?”

”The Yi Clan is attacking the clans under the royal family; as for His Highness, there were no traces of him when he disappeared from the Noble Factionʼs territory. What should we do next?” Nameless asked.

Wang Xingmo thought for a moment before saying, ”Focus on destroying the Yi Clanʼs territory. It would be great if we could kill his divine beast. You lead this plan personally. I will appear before Yi Kun and keep him busy.”

”Yes, Master!” Nameless said.

As soon as the two of them left the palace, two groups of warriors materialized in front of them; half of the group was dressed entirely in black and was plainly prepared for sneaking in combat, while the other half was dressed in full-plate armor for full-scale war.

Upon seeing Wang Xingmo, these men all kneeled down before him.

”Your Majesty, your wish is our command!”

That evening marked the beginning of a nightmare-filled evening for the citizens who will witness the destruction of their houses and city; that night, a group of citizens secretly left the city to avoid the destruction brought by Yi Kun, the barbarians, and to engage in a struggle for the crown. That night, the Royal Familyʼs battle against the Noble Faction had reached its zenith.

The land they were on was burned and destroyed right in front of the soldiers and knights who had transported the citizens safely outside the city, as they observed from a distance at the gates.

”Please gather around. We need to find a village nearby to rest. We can only come back after the battle in the city has ended. This is the decree from the palace,” a knight said.

An elder from the group of citizens asked, ”Can we ask who is the villain that wanted to destroy the city? We should be allowed to know this at least right!”

”Thatʼs right! Tell us! Who is the villain!?”

The knights were reluctant to say who it was. The sudden arrival of the barbarian took everyone off guard, but most knights and guards were already aware of who started such chaos.

”The Heavenly Guardian that leads the Noble Faction. Clan Leader Yi Kun and his clan brought the Barbarians into the city.”
