I Love Destroying Worlds' Plot

Chapter 1663: 22.49 Third Red Star - Real Gluttony

”You killed him?!”

The cold and terrifying voice from the World Eater echoes in the whole room. Such a deep tone with hints of anger and negativity. As if answering ʼYesʼ would lead to this man falling in rage. However, the one who asked was fearless and honest. This is something the God of Void could lie about, and he, himself, was not willing to lie.

Meeting the fierce eyes of the World Eater, An Shizhe, the God of Void answers, ”Yes.”

Tsk!

As expected, the older man was angry and stretched his hand to grab the neck of Ye Xiajie. There is anger imprinted on his face, as if he wanted to kill the younger man within his line of sight. However, before he was able to touch the neck of the God of Void, a slender hand blocked and pushed away his hand. Which caught everyone by surprise, the World Eater and the God of Void, looked at the God of Destruction that was in between them both.

Slap!

Hei Anjing said, ”Donʼt blame him! I made him do it as he is not even willing to think of such a thing! But if we donʼt do it, his trial will fail and he will not get resurrected. I made the choice and forced him into it. Donʼt hurt him. He is my other half. Harming him is hurting me!”

It was only at this moment that An Shizhe, whose eyes were clouded with rage, slowly calmed down and lowered his hand as he looked at those familiar-looking silver eyes with crimson linings. Every time he saw this pair of eyes, the World Eater recalled the very same person he loved and possessed a similar shade of eyes. Someone whom he misses badly and had given his whole being to, including his love and his life.

”Iʼm sorry,” Ye Xiajie, upon seeing An Shizheʼs reaction, couldnʼt help but apologize. But he didnʼt know why he felt he needed to say these words to this older man.

”Itʼs because… Iʼm…weak,” mumbles the God of Void.

The God of Destruction said, ”You are not weak, and you arenʼt at fault either! That is something that is included in the process of the Trial of Resurrection. One must die to be reborn. This trial involves two people. I was destined to die at the end of the final stage of the first phase of the Trial of Resurrection!”

”Who made this ridiculous trial?” asked An Shizhe.

Hei Anjing answered, ”Divine Laws.”

”Who are the divine laws?” asked An Shizhe.

”Who else is it? Itʼs your other half. Youʼre wife!” said Hei Anjing.

The World Eater, ”.....”

Ye Xiajie was hearing this for the first time and asked, ”Really?”

”Ancient Gods had roles and thatʼs how they are born from the cosmos. The Ancient God of Origin signifies the beginning and birth, while the Ancient God of End signifies conclusion and death. The World Eater signifies endless gluttony. Devouring everything to its extermination. Most laws that restrain the Gods are created by the Ancient God of Chaos. As chaos is born from the origin and the end itself, he exists to balance all existences. Thatʼs why chaos energy can evolve a world or can cause destruction to it. The strongest Ancient God. Thus, all other gods are to follow the laws he created. He has the original power of creation. Thus, creating laws is not a surprise,” explained Hei Anjing.

The World Eater spoke, ”You know a lot about the ancient times. As if you were born during that period.”

Hei Anjing showed no strange reactions at the words of An Shizhe. He remains composed and calm. Showing that he isnʼt involved in anything primordial. However, is that truly true? This is the thought the World Eater possessed at this moment.

Hei Anjing said, ”I might have been reborn multiple times. If you want to know about the original origins, then only one person might be able to give you an answer. Unfortunately, you are currently unable to meet. We would like to take a rest now. Please feel free to take any empty guest rooms if you wish to stay. You are also free to leave as you will. Have a pleasant day.”

After saying these words, the God of Destruction and the God of Void disappeared on the spot, leaving only An Shizhe in the living room. An Shizhe turned quiet as if falling through his deepest thoughts.

Suddenly he mumbles in the darkness, ”Sly as a fox. A bit similar to me~”

He also disappeared a few moments after he murmured these words in the darkness. As for where he had gone, no one else knows. The World Eater had always been as free as the wind. Just appearing anywhere and disappearing as he wishes to. In reality, he reappeared just above the mansion, which he was in just now. Looking down at the land under his eyes, he stares at a certain point where Hei Anjing and Ye Xiajie reside.

The World Eater, An Shizhe, said, ”I havenʼt returned to my peak. But the potency of my aura can terrify them. That brat will protect you instead of me.”

He controlled the power of gluttony, and a dark purple aura gathered around him. This aura flew down to where the young couple were and finally entered the body of the God of Void, increasing his affinity and power to devour. Normally, such a potent aura can instantly turn one mad. But for the God of Void, which is protected by the blessing of marriage, all negativity had no effects on him. This includes the side effect of madness for using gluttony as his ability. After seeing what he wanted, he took his leave.

In the masterʼs bedroom, the couple had just changed their clothes and waited for the water to turn hot to take a bath before going to sleep.

Ye Xiajie asked, ”Baby, is it alright to leave him there alone?”

”He is busy regaining his former powers. He will not stay as it is,” said Hei Anjing. ”My love, are you not going to ask why I act so kindly at him?”

The God of Void hugged him and said, ”I love you. Thus, those whom you wanted to treat kindly, I shall as well. No need for questions.”

All of a sudden, the two of them felt a power aura coming towards them. Ye Xiajie immediately pulled his wife to his back and protected him.

”Watch out!” He shouted.

However, he is wrong. This aura had no intention of attacking them at all, and the target is definitely not the God of Destruction. Thus, before he reacts, this aura enters his body, instantly evolving the power of gluttony in his soul. Ye Xiajie fell into a short trance as he needed to communicate with gluttony. Gluttony is a power with its own ego born from its host.

Hei Anjing watched this scene calmly and didnʼt distract his beloved from gaining a power that was meant for him. He took a few strides to the open window and looked at the brightening sky on the horizon. He bowed his head as if giving someoneʼs gratitude. For a proud being like Hei Anjing, he only lowers his head for his beloved and family. He was thanking the World Eater for giving his beloved the real power of gluttony.

While the God of Void has entered the state of meditation, a grayish aura comes out from Ye Xiajie wearing the same face, similar to what he truly looks like in reality. This being, who looks like the God of Void, kneels down before the God of Destruction and calls him Master.

{Master, the fragment of gluttony the other master had inherited was about to be born so I took my leave.}

Hei Anjing said, ”Good work. Return to your original form, gluttony.”

{Yes, Master! }

The man before him turned into a dark purple snowflake, which returned to the body once again. This is the power of gluttony he had given to his beloved to enhance his power. However, since this is something that he owns, he can never truly become Ye Xiajieʼs power. Now that he was given an original fragment of the power of gluttony, his own gluttony will be born within him and gain an ego born from his soul.

Gluttony is the main power of the World Eater, and only from him can the real power of gluttony be received. Even those beings born from his remnant fragment can barely control gluttony, and a gluttony without an ego is just a fake power that can just eat and not think for itself. Hei Anjing watches over his beloved, who finally gains a new power aside from darkness.

Meanwhile, in the soul domain of the God of Void...

Ye Xiajie opened his eyes and saw a purple egg floating near him. A voice was coming from it, saying,

{Master, Iʼm hungry~. Feed me. Feed me anything! I want to be born,} the purple egg said.

The God of Void was confused at first and didnʼt directly give anything to the weird egg. He observes the round thing floating before him and asks,

”What are you? How did you enter my body?” Ye Xiajie asked.

{Master, I am gluttony. I can only be born if you hatch me. I will become your power once I am born. The Lord had bestowed me to you.}

A bewildered expression appeared on Ye Xiajieʼs face and said, ”You are gluttony? Impossible. Iʼve awakened this power before. How come there is another one?”

{You mean the one inside the masterʼs body? He already left when I was born. After all, I am born from you, while the one from before was someone elseʼs power lent to you. Thatʼs why he canʼt communicate with you.}

”A power lent to me?” mumbles the God of Void.
